ARMADA DESTROYED
Sampson Has Annihi1ated Cervera's
Squadron at Santiago.

Glorious news from Cuba afforded
the American people opportunity to do
justice to the celebration of the ma
tion's birthday.
Admiral Sampson has accomplished
the work he was directed to perform
when he left Key West for the coast of
Cuba. He was ordered to find and de-
stroy Cervera's fleet.
Several weeks ago, Commodore
Schley located the fleet in the bay of
Santiago.
Sunday, after being bottled helpless
ly in the harbor for weeks, the fleet
was destroyed. Nothing now remains
of the Spanish squadron but shattered
and burning hulks.
Admiral Cervera's fleet, consisting
of the armored cruisers Cristobal Co.
Ion, Almiranto Oquendo, lnfanta Ma
Tia Teresa and Vizcaya, and two tor
pedo- boat destroyers. the Furor and
the Pluton, are today at the bottom
of the Caribbean sea, off the southern
coast of Cuba; the Spanish admiral is
prisoner of war on the auxiliary gun
boat Gloucester and 1000 to 1,50C
other Spanish soldiers and sailors, all
who escaped the frightful carnage caused
by the shells from the American war.
ships, are also held as prisoners of wal
by the United States navy.
The American victory is complete,
and, according to the best information
obtainable at this time, the American
vessels were practically untouched
though the ships were subjected to the
heavy fire of the Spaniards all the time
the battle lasted
Admiral Cervera made as gallant 6
dash for liberty and the preservation Of
his ships, as has ever occurred in the
history of naval warfare.
In addition to this splendid work, ac
complished by Admiral Sampson, Gen
eral Shafter, in command of the lane
forces before Santiago de Cuba, has 81
far progressed in the carrying of hi
plan for the reduction of the city tha
he has demanded the immediate surren
der of the Spanish forces.

Skaters Official Report.

Washington, July 2-The war de-
partment has received the following
from General Shafter. dated at Sibo-
ney:
"Have had very heavy engagement
today, which lasted from A. M. un-
til sundown. We have carried their
outer works and are now in possession
of them There is now about three
quarters of mile Of open between my
lines and the city. BY morning, the
troops will be entrenched, and consid-
erable augmentation of the forces will
be there. General Lawton's division
and General Bates brigade have been
engaged all day in carrying El Gauey,
which was accomplished at 4. P NJ.
Am we'll in line, and will rest in front
of Santiago during the night. Iregret
to say that our casualties will be above
400. OF these not many were killed.

The Wire to the Front.

Washington, July 2.-General A. w.
Greedy, chief signal officer, tonight re-
ceived a dispatch from Lieutenant
Colonel Allen, signal corps officer in
Cuba, announcing that a telegraph
and telephone station had been estab-
lished at point within two miles of
the city OF Santiago. This information
is Of the highest Importance to the
officials of the war department, as it
insures to them practically direct
communication with Shafter. The in
formation is significant. too, as it shows
that the American troops are within
rifle shot of Santiago. The telegraph
station being of course within the
American lines, it's location conclusive
ly indicates that the forces of General
Shafter have established themselves in
advance OF telegraphic communication.

A Road Convention.

Astoria, Or, July 2.-The county
court is using every means to provide
Clatsop with good roads, and it was
decided today to call convention.
This convention will meet here July
20-2l, during which time the farmers
convention will be in session here.
The road convention will consist of two
or more representatives. from each road
district, and the best means of securing
good highways for the county will be
discussed. Farming in Clatsop county
is steadily increasing. but farmers are
greatly handicapped because of poor
highways. 1t is the intention to re-
move this obstacle to the county's prog
ress, and secure thoroughfares which
can he used the year round. The con-
vention will doubtless be largely at
tended.

wArsoN's EASTERN SQUADRON
Preparing for Its Raid, While Camara
Loses Time.


Washington, July at was an
nounced at the navy department this
afternoon that the Spanish Cadlz
squadron had paid the heavy Suez
canal tolls and was about to proceed
eastward through the canal, Though
this statement was probably erroneous,
in view of the later reports to the
press indicating that the Spanish YES
sells we're stopping for repairs The
adivces only FASTENED preparations
making for the departure OF Commo-
dore Watson's Eastern squadron. The
commodore has reported to the navy
department his arrival off Santiago,
and his consultation with Admiral
Sampson respecting the details of the
cruise, which, 1t is expected, will oc-
cupy fully four months, providing the
war endures that length of time.
The delays to which the Spaniards
are subject at Port Said will rebound
very greatly to the advantage of Ad-
miral Dewey, if Camara is still in 1e-
ality bound for the Philippines, for
they insure the arrival of almost the
whole of General Merritt's forces, and
almost certainly Of the cruiser Charles
ton and the Monterey and Monadnock,
before the Spanish squadron could
reach Manila harbor.
1t was learned this afternoon that
the Egyptian government had decided
10 notify Admiral Camara that the
continued presence Of the Spanish fleet
at Port Said is violating neutrality and
that the warships must leave.
Consular Agent Broadbent has just
made master stroke, which he reports
to the department While the Spanish
ships were seeking permission of the
Egyptian government to take coal at
Pert Said the consular officer succeeded
in quietly buying up all the coal avail
able at that place. This amounted to
2,00O tons, and it Is in good place tc
be shipped to Dewey, to serve as a base
OF supplies for Watson's Eastern squad.

or to coal any American vessels that
may pass through the Suez canal,

The news that reached the depart
ment through the press reports that
Admiral CamaIa is about to leave his
| torpedo-boat destoryels at Port Said
because they would be unable t.
weather the monsoons that rage in tht
Indian ocean at this season. is believed
at the navy department to piesage th'
dissolution OF the squadron and the
abandonment of the cruise to the Phil
ippine.

The war department has received
the welcome information today that
military telegraph stations have been
established at St. Villa, in the center
Of the present military operations, and
that this line runs to point near
Aguadores, where it connects with the
French cable line, thus bringing Gen.
eral Shafter into direct communication
with the department.
Corporal Hucht, Seventh infantry,
who with seven men was sent out
seven miles from Santiago was found
by General Shafter Thursday afternoon
and sent into camp. The party had
repeatedly seen the Spaniards, who did
not offer to molest them, and the
Americans spent the day as if enjoying
picnic in the woods. The corporal
said that if he had had with him a
sufficient force he could have brought
in 40 Spanish prisoners.
The camp conditions near Santiago
continue hard. Heavy rains set every
thing afoat. Rations, however, are
being served out regularly, but they
are still not plentiful. Officers and
men fare alike. The latter are suffer-
ing during the cold nights from lack OF
blankets thrown away on the march.
These have been appropriated by the
Cubans, who take everything in sight,
and do as little as possible. On the
whole, they actually fare better than
our men.
Consular Agent Broadbent has Just
made master-stroke, which he re-
ports to the department. While the
Spanish ships were seeking permission
of the Egyptian government to take
coal at Port SAID, the consular officer
succeeded in quietly buying up all the
coal available at that place. This
amounted to 1000 tons and it is in a
good place to be shipped to Dewey, to
serve as base of supplies for Watson g
Eastern squadron, when it enters Lthe
Mediterranean, or to coal any Ameri-
can vessels that may pass through the
Suez canal bound to the Asiatic sta
tion.
In Venezuela the revolution which
has prevailed for the past six months

The Battle Of Hong Kong.

Rows between sailors on shore leave are
frequent in ports where men-of-war are
custOmarily anchored, and it is no rare
thing for International friction to be en-
gendered because Of the instructive ten
dency of the tackles to fight whenever
they see the uniform of foreigner. To-
days news columns contain an interesting
Gently that has happily brought no com :
plicating results to embarrass the govern
ments of the five nations involved. Four
hundred Russian, French and German SAIL
ors massed themselves in the street and
defied a squad of British and American
sailors, about $50 in number. to break
through their ranks The English-spea
tars accepted the challenge and in a trice
had split the ranks of the allies wide open
and were pounding the continentals un-
mercifully. The victors marched to the
fray singing Hail Columbia and God
Save the Queen The episode shows that
there is something in race ties after ALL
British and American seamen will fight
each other upon the slightest provocation,
but when they face a common foe they for
get their own small differences. Incidental
ly the blood of both Engiishmen and Amer
leans will pulse a bit faster when it is con-
sidered that in the battle of Hong Kong,
just fought, the European allies outnum-
bered the British and American tars more
than two to one. 1t was strong combina-
ton that Won the day.
