A PEACEFUL SIEGE.
Plan Suggested For the Capture Of
Havana

Washington. June 25.-With reference to
Havana, it has been suggested that our
troops surround the city and take pos
session of the highlands so as to cover
every point of approach, and conduct a
tive. 1t would do away ordinarily with
the large facilities that must necessarily
follow. if attempt were made to capture
the Spanish citadel, and would locate our
troops in healthful regions Probably not
less than 5000 men would be needed
should this plan be adopted. While the
administration has not over much conf
dence in getting great assistance from
the Cuban forces, they could be counted
on to some extent.

sAGAsTA VISITS THE QUEEN.
Believed That the Ministerial Crisis
Has Occurred.

Madrid. June 25.-The cabinet held
meeting this morning. and later the
premier, Senior Sagasta, went to the
palace. He told the newspaper repre-
sentatives that the cabinet was to be
reconvened, but refused to furnish any
further information. Although it is an
ECunced that the premier visited the
queen regent in order to furnish her
majesty with the usual report on cur
rent affairs, it is. generally believed
that the expected ministerial crisis has
occurred.

M Henri Brisson to form cabinet.
NJ. .Brisson has pointed out that the
differences had been accumulated by
the failure of NJ. Saurien and Nj. Pey-

until Sunday evening to consider the
matter.

ADMIRAL CAMARA's PLAN.
Official Statements Made to Appease
Spanish Public.

London, June 25.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Sunday Times says:
Admiral Camara's fleet will not go to
Manila, but to another Fort in the Phil
ippines to land troops, in order TO hold
a strong position. The feet will then be
ready for action, and if Admiral Dewey
wants 20 fight he will have to leave Ma
Mia bay. Admiral Dewey will thus
either leave the bay unprotected, or di-
vide his feet This move has made a
good impression here.
Interest today conferred in the meet
ing of the cabinet. It is believed that
the ministers favor overtures for peace
but disagree as to the manner in which
they should proceed, and this may pro-
woke crisis and precipitate the end.

thought that the steamer Coptic from

learned today from the officers of the
Coptic that the remains had been Gre
mated in Hongkong. The ceremony
took place on May T. and was marked
by impressive scenes. The ashes were
deposited in the Hongkong English
cemetery to await the wishes Of the
relatives.
The Coptic saw nothing on her voy-
age of the first transport fleet or the
waTships Charleston or Monterey, but
sighted, shortly after leaving Homo
lulu, the second fleet bound for Manila
with troops. The Coptic was too far
away from the ships to signal to
them.

HOW THE ROUGH RIDERS
Licked THE SPAN|ARDS
tcontinued from Page 10

La
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt were ex-
tremely gratified with the work done
by the rough riders on the first occa-
sion of their being under fire.
When 1t became evident that the
Spanlards were giving UP the fight,
searchlng parties went through the
dead and wounded. The latter were
carried to field hospital half a mile
to the rear, and all possible attention
was given them, while preparations
were made TO remove them 10 JuIa-
qua.
FIFTY SPANIARDS KILLED.
Twelve dead Spaniards We're found in
the bush, but the Americans made no
special efforts to ascertain the enemy's
loss. 1t is believed, however, that the
bodies found represented only small
proportion of the dead. and a conserv-
alive estimate is that at least so Span
iards were killed in the fight.
The sun was blazing down on the
field all the time the fight was in prog
ress, and many troopers were over
come by heat and lack of water. A
spring was found nearby later on, and
the soldiers canteens were filled from
it.
Reinforcements were ordered forward
from Juragua, but the march was a
long one and they did not arrive until
the fight was over.
1t was necessary 10 send a large supply
of provisions to the soldiers from the base
or supplies at Juragua, and the only
means OF doing this was by pack trains,
which are necessarily SLOW
1t is believed that the troops will be
Tree from attack where they are, and that
the SDaniards will not attempt to re-
peat the play they adopted today of block
ing the onward march of the Americans
in the direction of Santiago 1t is thought
they will make the last stand at the city
itself, trusting that with the assistance of
the shore batteries and the guns on the
war ships in the harbor they will be able
to repel the American troops, fosce them
back to the seacoast and either capture
them or drive them from the island

WESTERN FOREST RESERVES
CLEVELAND's ORDER WILL NOT
BE VACATED.
But Inspectors Are to Be Appointed
to Determine What Portions of the
Reservations Should Be Excluded.
(Snecial TO The Herald.)

Washington, June 25.-There was a
determined effort by western senators
this afternoon to defeat the conference
report on the sundry civil bill. This
was because the conferees had stricken
out the senate amendment vacating
the Cleveland forest reserve orders.
The debate occupied most of the after
noon, being considerably expanded by
the foes of Hawaiian annexation. The
principal speeches against ratification
were by Carter, Cannon and Mantle.
Although the conference report was
finally agreed to, an agreement was
reached with Chairman Allison of the
appropriations committee. This pro-
vides for an amendment to the de-
ficiency bill, carrying 100000. AS
drafted, the amendment authorizes the
expenditure of this sum for compen-
sation of special agents, inspectors,
surveyors and laborerS, to be appointed
by the secretary of the interior, wholly
with reference to fitness, without re-
gard to political affiliations, and who
shall be residents of the respective
states where forest reservations exist,
to inspect them and report to the sec
rotary of the interior the portion which
should 'be excluded. These men shall
also arrange for patrolling the reser-
vatioHs, putting out fires and carrying
out the orders of the secretary of the
interior"

HOME RULE FOR NEVADA.

The Peoples Advocate urges tn,
formation OF q Home Rule Party O
Nevada. 1t says:
There is no time like the presen.
to force this issue; there is no reform
which would be to Nevada's interest
to adopt; no motto could be better
chosen than "Nevadans for Nevada. .
Still, we see no need for n new
party to accomplish the desired OBJ
jet. The proper way is for the Sill
vel Party of Nevada to throw off the
barnlcleS which have attached
themselves to the party, simply
because it is the prevailing one IN
this State.
The APPEAL believes with the Ad-
vocate that the Silver Party of Ne
vada should shake off it's barnicles
and declare unequivocallv that Ne
vada is for Nevadans, now and for
ever This issue should be made to
apply to every mar who seeks office
In Nevada this fall, from the con
stable of the smallest precinct to the
United States Senator.
We want men elected whose inter
estS are in this State and who are
bona tide residents and State devel-
opers. Men who prefer the climate
and soil OF Nevada to any State in
the Union, and officials who spend
their salaries where they get their
votes.
Let all office seekers. State and
county, be made to give the c~onven-
tons an count of their stewardship
and be made to tell in which State
they have their interests, and invest
their earnings and their official
salaries.
This plan of men drawing down
tat salaries from Nevada to invest in
California ought to get a set back
this fall all along the line.
IN addition to this the Silver Party
to be a Silver Party and no a
mongrel Republican outfit ran and
manipulated by men who are chronic
straddlers and always advocat-
a conciliatory. policy towards the
Republicans. ,
The last Legislature was run in the !
interest of the Republican party and
traitors to the Silver Party were as
nick as mushrooms in a barn ward.
we want this sort of fungi weeded
'ut OF the next legislature, and a
party put on deck that knows it's own
strength and own needs. We want q
'eriie, partisan Silver Party in this
state and none but Silver men on
