WAR INTO SPAIN.
Part of our Navy May be Sent
Across the Atlantic.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-There is
talk in navy circles of carrying war
into Spanish waters. Information has
been collected concerning the condi
ton Of Spain's reserve squadron with
the idea of extending the field of war
to the Canary Islands and even to
Spain itself ss soon as Cervera's squa-
dron is captured.
The navy war board, before war was
declared. had planned the formation OF
. flying squadron, whose objective
point was to be the other side of the
Atlantic. The squadron as composed
of the New York, Brooklyn, Minnea'
polls, Columb bis, and the auxiliary
cruisers St. Paul. Harvard, and Yale
The sending of Cervera's feet to thit
side upset the plan, but now the plan
has been again taken up.

OREGON ELECTIONS
Result Uncertain Owing to Division
of Forces.

of Forces.
PORTLAND, Ore, June 6.-The vOt-
ers of Oregon are casting their ballots
today for state officers, two members
of congress and q legislature which
will choose q successor to Senator
Mitchell. The result is awaited with
more than usual interest by politicians
throughout the country because of the
fact that it is expected to furnish some
indication of the influence the war
may have on politics. From local
standpoint, also. the contest is regard
ed as one of great Importance to the
future of the two leading and several
minor parties in the state. The par
ties are badly split up, there being five
tickets in the field, and the feeling is
general that decisive victory for one
party or the other is necessary to
straighten ont the political affairs of
the state. The five tickets are: A
sound money republican ticket with T.
T. Geer as candidate for governor; .
so-called OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Repu blican ticket, headed by W. r.
King as the gubernatorial candidate: q
middle-of- the-rosd Populist ticket, with
John C. Luce as the guuernatorial can
didate; Prohibition ticket, headed by
H. NJ. Clinton, and q socislist-labor
ticket, which will poll q handful of
votes. The first two tickets are the only
ones that will secure large vote, but
the divisions created by the other
tickets render it difficult to figure out
the result with any degree of certain
ty. The sound money democrats and
the regular republicans are united and
have made an aggressive campaign.
The only loss that they are likely to
sustain from the vote polled for Nc
Kinley in 1896 is expected from the
free silver republicans, headed by the
late Senator Mitchell. The repub-
licans, however, are counting upon
this loss being more than Offset by
voters who will rally to the support of
the administration and it's conduct of
the war. Advices received from
different sections of the state indicate
that the early voting has been unusual
ly heavy.

NEARING THE CLIMAX

gether.

gether.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-War and
naval officials here believe that the
climax of the war will be reached this
week. Santiago de Cuba and San
Juan are both expected to fall before
our combined sea and land forces, be-
fore another Sabbath. 1t is believed
that the invasion of Cuba in the north
about Havana will be tho next event to
chronicle.
The sinking of the Merrimac in San
tiago channel makes the taking of San
Juan an easier proposition than it was
the day before Hobson and his heroes
brought her in and placed the hulk in
the harbor entrance. The Spanish
fleet being effectually bottled up, it can
not be sent to raise the siege OF San
Juan or any other place, and the city
may therefore be taken At our own
leisure without interference.
In sll probability Santiago and San
Juan will fall within . few days or
perhaps hours of each other. If the
combined forces of the Americans and
insurgents attack sthe cities from land
and sea simultaneously nothing short
of miracle can save them. Mckinley
is very y.anxious to take Porto Rico be-
fore Spain sues for peace, and it; in &C.
cordance with his wishes that the in.
vasion of the island will be made the
business of the next few days.
Porto Rico will be the price Spain
must pay for indulging in war. Thil
much is believed to be certain; it il
not unlikely that the Philippines also

CAPE HAYTIEN, June 6.--The ball

The general bombard ment OF Moro
began this morning At 7:45. The
Iowa, dag ship, the Oregon, Massa-
chusetts, Indiana, and Texas opened
with their biggest guns. The New
Orleans. New York, and others hover
ed in a second fighting line waiting
for orders to come in close and en-
gage.
The ships were drawn up in line OF
battle fronting ARusdsres on the east
side of MORO. Further east was watt
ing the line of transports. They stood
in near shore, and as soon
q. the bonn bardment began the
debarkation of troops proceeded.
A large force of Garcis's men hold
ing the shore safely assisted in the
landing. The battleships circled at
fair speed five miles being about
the circumference. As each came
into the zone of fire she turned her
broadside onto Morro and her
huge guns thundered out. Immense
projectiles from IL and IL inch guns
crashed into the solid battlements Of
Moro, carrying death and fearful
destruction to everything in their
path.
At eight o'clock the ships were pour
ing in fearful fire and MORO was re.
plying from its big Krupp guns in
really gallant manner. The lombard
ment and debsrk alton of troops were
going on as this despatch was sent.
The bombardment was the outcome
of prearranged plan. Yesterday .
war council was called by the admiral
on board his flagship. He announced
that the ships would destroy Morro
and Socapa, or any hidden batteries up
to the mouth of the harbor where the
Merrimac is sunk. This would give
the Americans complete control Of
the entire water front for landing
troops.
The troops landed on the west side
of Socapa Saturday. Now troops are
on both sides of Santiago. After dem
olishing Morro the fleet may take .
rest until COO! tomorrow morning be-

ELECTION FORECAST.
W. X. Hearst Has the Whole Thing
Fixed Up to suit Himself.

Editor Hearst of the New York
Journal publishes the following fore
cast of the coming elections through
out the country. Some extracts are
given from it that those interested
may remember them and compare
them with the actual returns when they
come in. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that no dependence is to be placed
in this forecast, and it is given more
as curiosity than anything else.
The Journal says: I'm the National
elections, the forecast in the matter of
30 senators to be chosen gives l3 to
the Democrats. II to the Republicans,
and on five the reports are So conflict
ing and the fight So clO,e that no
prophecy may be ventured. The DEM
ocrats will have to carry the LeglSla-
ture of every doubtful State II Qruer
to make tie vote in the next United
States Senate. The Republicans will
have to carry only one doubtful State
to maintain a majority in the upper
house. The next House of Represen-
tatives. according to this forecast will
number los Democrats. l36 Republi-
ICdhS, io FUSION representatives anu
ia doubtful. Even in the unlikely
event Of these 81 doubtful ones turn
ing out to be Republicans, their party
is still in a minority of IL as against
the combined Democrats and Fusion
representatives.
This probably means that the Fu-
SiOnists, with the balance of power in
their hands, will be Il more important
factor in the National Congress than
ithey have ever been before"
In this forecast Missouri is given
