No Suitable Place Found for Landing Troops, rfl Transports Have Not Arrived ;With Troops. Off Santiago De Cuba, June 18, 10 a, m., via Kingston, Jamaica, Sun day, 4 p. -11. Several attempts to find landing places for the United States troops within a distance of two miles west ot Santiago have determined, with previous Inquiries to the east ward, that the shore for fifteen miles is lined with Spaniards. While this will not prevent a landing close to Santiago, it may entail considerable delay, as the surrounding country must be thoroughly shelled and cleared before the troops can land in safety. When Bear-Admiral Sampson received advices that upward of 30 transports would be here today (Sat urday), he sent word that they should stand to the south 10 miles and Ho there until a 'landing place had been secured Yesterday, at duyllghtftho launches of the New York and Massachusetts reconnoitercd the shore between Ca banas, two miles westward of the en trance to Santiago harbor, and Guayanacoa, two miles further west, both of which points He ease of the rangeof mountains surrounding San tiago bay. The launches pushed their noses Into a hornet's nest. The brusn was fairly alive with Spanish troops of In fantry and cavalry, and the fire opened upon the launches was so fierce that their retreat had to be covered by the Vixen and Texas. When the Texas asked permission of Commodore Schley to take a hand, the commodore shouted to Captain Phillips. "Yes. go in and give 'em, Jack." The Texas landed four 12-inch shells on the battery at Cabanas, completely demolishing it. Lieutenant Sharpe, of the VIxon, and IlarlOjY, in command ot the launches, were both complimented by Admiral Sampson for gallantry. It Is believed the insurgents, who are in force and under the command of General Garcia about 15 miles distant, will render effective aid In driving the Spanish off shore. The following Is the abstract of Lieutenant Ilarlow's report to the commander ot the Vixen, dated Juno 18:; "The expedition consisted ut a steam launch from the Massachu setts, In charge of Cadet Hart, and a launch from the New Ycrk.lo charge of Cadet Powell. 1 took passage on the Massachusetts' launch, leading the way. Soundings were taken on entering the bay close under the old fort, and we were preparing to clr- 3 v v r 1 a. fl i &cbut3 1 lne bser that mads Milwaukeo faire-ua. I7o headache goes with thia beer.

MAdTJlRE & TEATZ, Local Agents, It speaks (or iUK cumnavlgate at fnll speed, when fire was opened from the fort and rocks on shore. The Massachusetts' launch was some distance ahead, and about 40 yards off the fort. There was no room to turn and our one-pounder could not be brought to bear. We backed and turned under a heavy fire, "Cadet Hart operated the gun as soon as It could bo brought to boar, sitting exposed In the bow and work ing the gun as cooly and as carefully as if at target practice. Cadet Powell had been firing since the Spaniards opened. lie also was perfectly cool. Both launches ran out under heavy tire. The number of Spaniards along the shore was large. Tuo launches, as soon as was practicable, sheered, to give the Vixen the range of the fort. The VlXbn and Texas silenced the shore fire promptly. "I strongly commond Cadet Hart and Cadet Powell for their cool man agement of tbo launches. One launch was struck several times. Nobody on either was hurt. A bullet struck a shell at Cadet Hart's feet, but failed to explode it, "Coxswain O'Donncll and Seaman Bloom are commended, as also Is the coolness with which the marines and sailors withstood the Spanish fire. "Nothing was learned at Cabanas bay, but at Guayanacoa it is evident a landing Is practicable for ship's boats. Tho same Is truo ot Banco Cruz, a small bay to tho eastward. I am Informed that to tho north and westward of Cabanas bay there is a a largo clearing, with plenty ot ground, igrass and water. I think a simultaneous landing at tho three places named would bo practicable, It tho ships shell tho adjacent woods. A Junction would naturally follow at the clearing." Movement of Troops. A special train consisting of twelvo coaches transporting 312 Minnesota troops to San;Francl8co,cnrouto to the Philippines, passed through Salem al 4 a. m. Sunday. Attached to tho overland last avenlng was a Pullman tourist car containing 27 stalwart young volunteers, who are enrouto to Mamla,there to recruit the companies of the Second Beglment, Oregon Vol unteers, to their maximum strength of 100 men each. Tho volunteers were easily distinguished from tho other passengers, by reason of the "fever caps" that were presented them by tbo Portland Emergency Corps and which they jokingly christened "gov ernment night-caps." Tbo volunteers wore citizens clothing and will not recelyo their uniforms and accoutre ments until they reach San Francisco. They were In charge of Private John Teesdalo and were enjoying them selves very much. They were greoted by fully 200 Salemltcs at tho depot and as tbo train pulled out they were lustily cheered. Portland's quota In the second call for troops was 128 and as soon as a company of them pass the medical examination they are immediately dispatched to San Fran cisco in 6quads. The recruiting officers In the metropolis expect to baye the desired 128 recruits and have them enrouto to Manila by Thursday of this week. Among the recruits passing through Sunday evening was Ted Burton, at McCoy, well known in this city. He will Join the Salem boys In Company K. As the train started one enthusiastic volunteer shouted "We'll all be with Dewey." m How s This 1 We offer One Hundred Dollars Be ward for auy case of Catarrah that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

FIRE Will Be the Doom of Caimanera. Evervthhg Now Ready .to Burn Starvation Staring People in the Face. A Gueirillas Preparing to Attack the Marines, On Board the Associated Press DiSPATCii-RoAT Dandy, off Guan. tanamo, Saturday, Juno 18, 5 p. in., via Kingston, Jamaica. Cuban scouts report that tho Inhabitants of Calm anera havo strewn tho streots with straw nnd oil, with tho Intention of destroying tho city and fleeing to tho hills. Caimanera lies four miles up tho bay from Camp McCalla, under tho guns of tho American ships, and tho situation Is desperate, Starving and famlne-rtrlcken, convinced ot tho ultimate triumph of tho American arms, and without faith In tho Span- lshlsoldlory, tho peoplo aro bellovcd to havo determined to leavo their houses In ashes behind them nnd seek safety in the hills of tho north. The scouts declare that tho story Is accurate, and say that every building of the town Is being rapidly prcpurcd for tho toroh. Tho situation of tho besieged Is fear fnl. The people aro eating horses and mules and are scouring tho hills for fruits and herbs. Occasionally brief bombardments by tho tho American fleet leavo the helpless cit izens tcrror-strlrken, no preparations for defense being made. It is also stated that the Spanish gunboat at Caimanera has been loaded (with in flammables, and will bo burned with tho city, her commander declaring that Bhe will never become an Amer ican prize. The scouts also say the Sr,anlsh soldiers aro In almost us complete a state of panic as are tho clvlllane,and that they could easily bo Induced to surrender. Some of the prisoners taken by the marines say they bellevo the Spanish troops are on the verge of surrender, on account ot the lack of food. Captain McCallu, of tho cruiser Marblcbead, and Lieutenant-Colonel Huntington, In command of tho ma rines, arc not so sure, however, of the reported Spanish route. They re eclved Information tbatu general at tack by a force ot 350 Spanish soldiers and guerrillas on Camp McCalla Is contemplated within a night or two. Preparation was made for an assault. When the Associated Press dispatch boat Dandy arrived in Ounn tanamo, the hills about the marine camp were brilliant under the shifting ray of the searchlights of tiie Marblcbead, Dolphin and Scorpion, and tho marines were lying in therlflcplts, at Mm guns, ready and anxious for battle, but the night pascd without tho filing of a shot. The greatest care wus exercised as Captain McCalla Is convinced that an attack Is likely to occur at any time. The Iowa joined the licet here this morning and later the ad aural came racket prices for spot over on the ilagsblp to Inspect the fortifications and confer with Captain McCalla ;and Lieutenant Colonel Huntington. Tho coast in the vicinity ot Quan tanamo Is dotted with brlght-bucd Cuban flags. Numerous camps of Insurgents havo been established along tho boach between Santiago and this place, and are-used by theni for communication with tho Cubans In tho Interior. Tho Information which these men havo glvon has proven highly valuablo to the Amor lean;, General Parela, who Is In command of the Spanish forces hero, is undoubt edly desperate In regard to obtaining food for his men. The prisoners who havo been captured appear to havo been HI fed and apparently Indiffer ent to their fate. A batch of Spaniards was captured by Ensign Pratt, of the Marblehead. Wtille cruising In a steam lauuch outside tho bay, ho picked up a 40 foot sloop, containing a Spanish captain and four sailors. They Bald they were on their way to Qauntan amo to pet a supply of coal oil for the lighthouse at Cape Mays), but tho papers found on the sloop proved that had been sent to obtain Informa tion relntlvo to tho American forces. The crew of tho sloop asserted that thoy had bceu lll-fccd and Untreated by tho Spanish commander of the Cape MojmI f in."".

Scouting parties report that tho blockhouse was completely destroyed, but that thoy were unable to discover any bodies, tho remains ot tho cold tors had probably been carried off by their comrades. The marines aro growing restless, owing to tho delay in tho arrival ot tho troops, but It isgonorally believed here that tho transports will reach Santiago not later than Monday, A rumor to the effect that Lieu tenant Jobson and his fellow citizens had been seen on tho walls ot Morro castle under a Spanish guard caused much excitement among the fleet, but tho story Is discredited on Commodore Schley's flagship, The officers say that Spanish sentries were mistaken for the American prisoners.

WOODBURN TALLY- SHEET SING. W1S- Work of Re-CanvftMing Marion CuMWty Vote for Circuit Judge HaMafft. Justice Hayes of Woodburn, JustkM n. A. Johnson, and Deputy County Clerk J. B, Olcsy of this city, who constitute tho Marlon county canvassing board, this morning begaa the re-count of the Marion couutj-vota for tho judgeship. A re-count la necessary to determine the contest recently Instituted by P. IT. D'Arcy, one of the Union candidates for this ofilce. From tho returns at hand from the counties in this district Mr, Boise has a majority of 34 over Mr. D'Arcy. It Is possible the official count may reveal some mistake that will alter tho figures now atrhand. Tho board had not proceeded far until it was discovered that the tally sheet from Woodbqrn precinct waa missing. County Clerk L. V. Eulen, having gono to Portland this morn- lng, tho whereabouts of the missing tally-sheet could not bo ascertained, and tho work of counting the votes was postponed until 0 o'clock this eve ning by which time County Clerk Ehlcn will havo returned from the metropolis. Justice Hayes of Woodburo one ot tho board of canvassors. was Been this afternoon by a Journal reporter and from him It waa learned that when tho board completed Its labors last Tuesday morning und was ready for adjournment, tho tally-sheets from all tho county precincts had beea placed In tho ofllco of County 'Clerk L. Y. Ehlcn. Wbllo In the .county courtroom, Mr. Hayes, claims that the Woodburn tally-sucet was brought Into tho room and looked over by Col. N. B. Knight, a Salem attorney, awl W. T. ItlRdon. While they were look ing over the sheet, Mr. Hayes ad Mr. H. A. Johnson, two ot the mbw of thecanvassing'board, left the room, leaving J. B. Glcsy, N. B. Knight and W. T. JQIgdon with two or three otUer, parties in tho room and In poseselos Of tbo missing tally-sheet. This was the last scon of the sheet. Mr. Eblert Is expected homo from Portland to night when tho whereabouts of the tally.sheot can probably be learned. The Woodburn tally-sheet was the most poorly kept of the entire county. Tuo canviisslng board has al ready discovered about SJO mistakes in recounting tho vote of that precinct. A mistake or 10 votes in favor pat Bishop H. I. Berkley has been fotiM, The vote in Woodburn preclnet tor circuit judgo was as follews: BoIm 144, Burnett 154, D'Arcy 139, Hewitt 08. These figures are thooe orlglnaltr given out but a mistake ot ten votm hasbcon found In Mr, D'Arcy 's vot reducing It from 130 to 129 votes.
