Report Says the .Oregon Sunk q Spanish
Torpedo Destroyer-It is Denied.

Kingston, Jamaica, June e.-(Copy-
righted, 1898, by the Associated Press.)-
News has been received here today
from Port Antonio, confirming the re-
port brought here yesterday by a vessel
from Santiago de Cuba, saying tho
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror
tFurorD had been sunk by an Ameri-
can warship. II appears that the bat
telship oregon saw long craft sneak
ing close TO the shore, and heading to-
ward the harbor. She signaled the
craft TO turn, and the signals were i'm
properly answered. whereupon the Ore
gon opened fire upon her. A lS-inch
shell struck the torpedo boat amidshlp,
and she sank with all hands. The vessel
is supposed to be the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer Terror. trying to make
her way from Porto Rico into the har-
Dor of Santiago de Cuba, to retoln the
iieet OF Admiral Cervera, with which
she arrived at Fort De France, Island
of Martinique. The Terror was COM
PEELED to remain at Fort De France ow-
ing to her boilers being out Of order.
on the other hand II is believed the
torpedo boat destroyer sunk may have
been the Juror of Admiral Cervera's
feet. rs the latest reports concerning
the terror seem to show that her boilers
were still out Of order.
NOT THE TERROR.

chimerical as the notion that an ex-

COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 1.-Goy.

present at conference held for this DUR
pcSe last night with Charles L. Kurz. Al
Ien W. Thurman, Col. Ike Hill of Wash
inSton, Chas- p. Griffin of Toledo and
Mayor Mckisson.
The democrats agreed to deliver their
entire vote excepting only Senator valen-
tlne OF Bucyrus who declares he will not
vote for republican for United States
senator.
1t was decided that Mayor r. e McKis-
son o. Cleveland should be voted for by
the anu-Hanna republicans and the demo-
Gratis for the short term and Gov. Bushnell
for the long term. The republican mem
bers Of the legislature that are still hold
ing out against Hanna are Senator Burke
and Representatives Mason. Brariey,
Jones. Rutan, BoSsow and Monnell, while
Senator Sheppard of PrebIe is still doubt
full. This leaves Senator Hanna short
one vote of a constitutional majority. even
though all the fusion republicans in Gin
Cinnau should vote for him. 1t is not
probable that they will all vote for him.
All interest now centerS in the Organza-

NOT OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED.
The Report That Americans Were f,
PEELED From ClfppertOn Island.

The Report That Americans Were Ex-
PEELED From CIipperton Island.
The story of the dispossession of a party
of Americans from Clipperton Island by a
Mexican warship, as reported by an in
coming steamer at San Francisco, has as
yet had no official confirmation. All that
is known at the Mexican legation here is
that vague rumors have been afloat for
some time past that the British had taken
possession of the island, and, with q view
to asserting the sovereignty of Mexico
over 1t, warship was sent there to main
tain the claim of that government.
The Department of State has nothing at
all on the subject, but Is not disturbed
over the news. The law permits an Amer
lean citizen to locate upon any guano
island, such as Clipperton. solely for the
purpose of taking off the guano but 1t
must be affirmatively shown that the island
Is not part of the territory of another ma
ton at the time of location. So that in
the case Of Clipperton Island. it is simply
question as to the prior right of Mexico
to title, and the impression here is that
Eer title is as good as was that of Brazil
to the Island of Trinidad, which was
sought by the British for a cable station
1t is recalled here that in two cases the
United States government relinquished
islands lying in the Bay of Honduras to
Mexico under similar circumstances to
those presented in this case upon proof Of
Mexican title.
