There is no doubt that Dewey can take care of himself against this Cadiz fleet since his own squadron will be re- enforced by ironclads long before Ca mara's ships sight the Bay of Manila, and he will have the shore batteries with him instead of against him in the struggle. But it has been concluded by the administration that nothing, save the most severe measures, will suffice to bring the Spanish people to a realizing sense of the hopelessness of the continuance of the present war, and even kindness, it is held, will dictate such a blow as that which it is pro- posed to administer if the Spanish per sist in this last project.
 After the fall of Santiago and the capture or destruction of Cerveras S squadron Sampson will have an abund ance of vessels to spare for the task set forth. Probably he will constitute the attacking fleet in two squadrons, the first a flying squadron to be composed of the swiftest vessels of the fleet, such as the Columbia, Minneapolis, Harvard, Yale, St. Paul and New Orleans. This will be followed by another fleet, either uuue1 OdihpSoh VI oSiilCJ' "A'H 'AAS DeAe- tleships, which Captain Clark's experi- ence with the Oregon has shown can easily be counted on for the voyage across the Atlantic.
 With the Iowa, Oregon, Indiana, Mas sachusetts ana Texas, all battleships, supplementing the New York and Brooklyn, armored cruisers, and the less powerful but speedy vessels of the flying squadron. the Spanish coast would be speedily swept clear of all commerce, all Spanish shipping would be destroyed and some of the best ports blockaded or bombarded.

SauSalitO
 Almost
Dramatic Close of an EVentful Day in the Stronghold of
 the Gamblers.

SAUSALITO, June 24-The trouble between the rival poolroom forces nearly eliminated in a murder here at about o'clock this evening when Trustee A. Sylva drew pistol on ex- Marshal John E. Creed, after a fistic fracas in whicl- Sylva was worsted. A tragedy was averted only by the inter- D sition of pr. H. J. Crumpton, who seized the revolver of hls infuriated colleague at a critical moment and fired its contents into the waters of the bay.
 The two men had been threatening to "get together" since l o'clock in the afternoon, when Creed kicked the door off Broyer, Glynn & Humphreys pool room when locked in by Marshal Han non's deputies. They made various un- complimentary remarks about each other in the hearing of a number of persons on the street and each threatened to thrash the other. The two met near Recorder S.mpton's of flee at about o'clock and got into a wordy alteration, during which Sylva, who is almost pigmy in comparison with his opponent, termed Creed an ex-convict.
 The ex-marshal promptly gave the lie and struck Sylva in the face, knocking him over a pile of dry goods boxes. Sylva had partly arisen when he re- ceived arJther blow on the back of the neck and went to earth again. Quick as a flash he was on his feet with re- volver in his hand. Creed had stood with his hand in his hip pocket, but, perceiving that Sylva had been too quick for him, he jumped and grappled with the frenzied Trustee.
 By this time large crowd was surg ing around the spot Dr. Crumpton ar- rived just as Creed grappled with Sylva and springing forward wrenched the weapon from Sylva's hand and fired its five shots into the bay. The coIn- batants were separated and proceeded to abuse each other for awhile, but were finally forced to leave the spot. Deputy Sheriff Thomas Frost placed both under arrest for disturbing the peace and Sylva preferred charge of battery against Creed, who says that tomorrow he will place Syiva under arrest for assault with intent to com- init murder.
 The town IS at feYer heat and biodd= shed is mor1enthriiy expected.
