Flying Squadron to Be Made Ready Witfl=
 out Delay.
It Will Go to the Spanish Coast Whether Camara
 Returns or Not.

WASHINGTON, June 28.-There was no further word from the Cadiz fleet to-day, though 1t is still known to be lying at Port Said, under pretext of repairing one of the torpedo boat de- Btroyers.
 The delay on the part of the Spanish Fleet has not stopped the preparations for the sending of the Eastern squad ron, under command of Comodore Wat son, to the Spanish shores. The com modore is hastening with all speed southward on the Newark to join and confer with Sampson off Santiago.
 It Is stated at the department that it Is the present intention to start Com modore Watson's Euporean squadron from Santiago. This. however, is sub Ject to Admiral Sampson's report upon the condition of the vessels selected and their needs in the matter of sup plies and equipment for the long voyage ahead of them. If they need no more that can be supplied from Sampson's fleet, they will start, according to or ders, from Santiago, but if further sup plies are needed, or if the vessels must be cleaned first, then they will prob ably be sent north to Hampton Roads. Meanwhile there is no mistaking the earnestness of the Navy Department in preparing this squadron for European service.
 All the members of the Cabinet were present at to-day's meeting with the exception of Secretary Day, who Is out of the city. At it's conclusion 1t was stated that the work of supplying Com modore Watsons squadron with am- munition, coal and provisions, prepara- tory to its departure for Spain, was progressing satisfactorily. and that in all probability the squadron would be ready to sail in the course of the next [ four or five days.
 The impression which seems to pre- vail in some quarters that the sending of this fleet to Spain is intended solely to prevent Admiral Camara from going to the Philippines is erroneous. There is no question that this move has been under consideration for some time, and 1t is the intention of the Government to send the vessels to Spain's home waters whether Camara's fleet proceeds to the Philippines or not. If it returns and comes within striking distance of Com modOre Watson's powerful squadron 1t is confidently expected by the President and the members of the Cabinet that it will be crushed, which would utterly destroy Spains power on the sea- Should it continue its course to Manila Admiral Dewey's squadron is regarded as abundantly able to maintain the honors it won on May 1.
 The arrival at Manila of the trans ports with troops from San Francisco has not yet been reported nor is the news expected for some days. The dis patch boat which left Manila just be- fore the exI ected arrival of the trans ports will have to return to Manila and

OREGON HAS 4 BIC SENSATION FOurPrOminentLa Lawyers
 Arrested. THEFT OF BALLOTS CHARGED MISSING COUNTY CLERK IMPLI.
 GATED.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALEM, Or, June 23.-The biggest legal sensation sprung in Oregon since 1876 developed this evening in the ar rest of r. H. Darcy (Dem.), late fusion candidate for Circuit Judge; his part ner, $. T. Richardson; his brother, w. J. Darcy, and John A. Carson, all prominent attorneys and substantial men, socially and financially. Richard son Is dean of the Willamette Univer- sity Law School.
 The arrests were made on a charge of forging public documents, in tamper- ing with ballot boxes in the County Clerks office, and changing the ballots and returns for the purpose of electing r. H. Darcy as Judge, there being a close contest between him and R. P Boise, Populist fellow-candidate on the fusion ticket. There were two Judges to be elected in this district, comprising five counties. One, the Republican, had a clear majority, and for sec ond place Boise and Darcy ran so close as to make the result doubtful
 The arrests this evening at o'clock caused an immense sensation, and pub lie interest is at fever heat The ac- cused demanded an immediate hearing, and the preliminary hearing progressed as fast as possible tonight. County Clerk Ehlen is also implicated, but he left here hurriedly on the morning of June 20 and has not been seen since, nor is his whereabouts known.
 The principal witness against the ac- cused is J. W. Roberts. night watch man at the Courthouse who testified that on Saturday evening, June H. Clerk Ehlen and Lawyers Carson and Richardson came into the Courthouse at 10:30 and went to the room where the ballot boxes of the various pre- cincts of the county were stored; that soon after Carson came down stairs and invited the watchman to take a lit tie walk, which he did, going to a restaurant two blocks away, where they sat down to supper.
 The Watchman suddenly thought that somethinp was wrong, and he hastily, excused himself and returned to the Courthouse, where he saw Clerk Ehlen going toward Darcy & Rich ardson's office with a bundle under his arm. After reaching the Courthouse the watchman saw Richardson coming out of the room where the ballot boxes were, lock the door and go away. The watchman later went into the room and found three ballot boxes open and the ballot spread out on the table. He saw a light in Darcy & Richardsons S ottice, which is in sight of the Court house, until i o'clock in the morning, and about that hour saw P. H. Darcy going home from there. Two days later he met Darcy, sand in conversa- tion the latter said to him: Keep your own counsel
 After cross examination the case was adjourned till morning.

CHANGE IN PUBLIC
 OPINION IN EUROPE
Recognizes Americans Are Entitled to Make War in Any Way They
 May See Fit

LONDON, June 2S.-The St. James Gazette this afternoon, commenting on the prospect of the American forces attacking the coast of Spain, says:
 ''The reception of the news evidenced a change in public opinion. which at the commencement of the war thought Europe should notify the United States that the war must be confined to American waters. It is now recognized that the Americans are fully entitled to make war in their own way, and they are, indeed driven to retaliate upon Spain in this manner, owing to the tac- tics which Spain has chosen to pursue" |"

 Week

LONDON, June 29.-A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from Port Said says Admiral Camara's squadron is in a most slovenly condition, the bottoms of most of his ships are foul and the re- pairing of the machinery of the tor pedo-boat destroyer Audaz would take at least a week.

 IN DOUBT!NG MOOD
Does Not Credit the Report That an American Squadron Is to Cross
 the Atlantic.

MADRID, June 2S.-The Spanish off, cials here assert that there will be no difficulty in Admiral Camara traversing the Suez Canal. as the accompanying transports, they add, have all the coal the squadron requires. It is believed here that the Spanish ships will enter the canal to-day
 The Spanish Government does not credit the report that an American squadron is to visit Spanish waters, but the Ministers say they have taken all possible precautions, that the ports are all ready, and that 26,000 men who have been called out will be distributed among the principal Atlantic and Mediterranean ports.

Call Office. Riggs House,
 Washington. June 2S. No agreement has been reached be- tween annexationist Senators and the op- position, and, according. to Senator White none is likely to be reached. Twelve or fifteen Senators have signifled their in- tention to address the Senate on this sub- Ject, and as these speeches will be ex- haustive there is no telling when the Senate will be ready to adjourn unless the initiative is taken by the other side. The Evening Star, the Hawaiian Sugar Company organ, is trying its best to bolster up the annexationists and induce them to remain in session. but the ex- tremely hot weather is having a most demoralizing effect.
 It Is freely predicted here that Congress will adjourn without having passed the Newlands resolution.
