TRY TO KILL A GUARD
INCIPIENT RIOT WITHIN THE
 PRISON.

Q SAN QUENTIN, June 1o.-A @ @ determined attempt to seize a @ e large quantity of opiu- smuggled @ @ into the prison nearly resulted @ @ in Guard $. l.. Randolph losing @ @ his life yesterday and caused @ @ wild excitement among the con- @ @ victs, almost resulting in riot. @
 Randolph was set upon by two burly prisoners In their cell He was forced to his knees and an endeavor made to choke him. His cries for help called Guards King and Leake to the scene in time to prevent murder being com mitted .f
 It is well known that the dangerous drug constantly passes the prison gates through the medium of visitors and trusties. Any one who has seen the farcical searching of these trusties can easily understand why the traffic f1ourishes as it does. For some time Randolph has been watching Jack" Kane, a third-term burglar from San Francisco, and Joe Reyes, committed from Los Angeles for burglary. These men are cell-mates and are what is known as peddlers of the drug. Learn ing that they had opium in their cell Randolph slipped up quietly to unlock the door at the regular time. o'clock in the morning. As the door swung open there lay the opium in small pack ages scattered all around the cell.
 AS soon as the prisoners saw Ran dolph they grasped package after pack age and began to hurl them into the yard. Randolph jumped inside and was immediately bounced upon by Kane, while Reyes kicked the guards feet from under him. He went to his knees and Kane tried to catch him by the throat. Randolph's cries for help were heard by King and Leake, who ran to his assistance and overpOWered the two enraged convicts.
 By this time many of the other pris oners had c aggregated in the yard and were busily picking up the opium and concealing it on their persons. The rest of the guards tried to take it away from them and had about secured 1t all when the convicts in body set upon the guards and tried to snatch the opium from their Hands. They were beaten off and the opium, f1fty-seven packages in all, Is now in possession of the prison authorities.
 Both Kane and Reyes were confined in the dungeon and shackled to the walls. Tomorrow their cases will be considered by the prison directors at the regular monthly meeting. Kane is in for fifteen years and will lose two years credits; KGyes is In for twelve years and will be deprived of eighteen months credits

and it's towns and harbors seized and held after short campaign.
 The harbor of Guantanamo Is a fine basis for land and sea operations. It Is spacious and has forty feet of water The land approaches are not so pre- cipitous as at Santiago de Cuba. The low-lying hills can be easily reached with trains of siege guns and there are level roads to SantiaqO thirty-three miles distant, where few mountain batteries, beyond the reach of the fleet, will be taken to an eminence command ing the city and the spanish ships.
 Guantanamo is an important place. It has six miles of water harbor and will be of great value to the United States army and navy as a supply station, coaling depot and cable ter minus. The Spaniards have but slight defense. Their batteries were silenced on Tuesday by the Marblehead in few minutes firing at 4000 yards. A small Spanish gunboat ran away.
 The navys work has been done we'll. Day and night ships patrol the thirty miles of coast within easy gun range of the shore. The officers and men are ever ready and impatiently say, What more can be done? We have opened the way. Where is the army of in vasion?"
 The Marblehead returned to Guan- OU " Sdpldlu Goodrell of the marines, to survey the landing places. This morning the New Orleans and Porter were close inshore off Daiquiri, west of Santiago, where there are extensive iron works. A large iron pier offers an excellent land ing place Possibly one detachment of the army will land there, a second force may land west of Fl Morro, and third body of troops at Guantanamo It Is believed the city can be captured within 6 few days and that Admiral Cervera will be compelled to fight.
 The destruction of the shore batteries now makes possible their occupation by troops, giving the American fleet an op- portunity to enter the harbor and re- move the mines at the entrance and strike joint blow of the army and navy, involving the surrender of the Spanish troops in the eastern, provinces, now practically all concentrated at Santiago de Cuba, and the surrender or destruction of Admiral Cervera' 8 fine ships, which would necessarily have an important, if not controlling, influence In closing the war.
 It is with this view that such close watch is maintained to prevent the es- cape of the Spanish ships, and neces- sarily the presence of the soldiers is required to prevent the defeat of the work thus far accomplished by the navy.

TO BE VICEROY OF CANADA. Belief in London That Lord Wolseley
 Has Been Selected,

NEW YORK, June 10.-A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The Brit ish Government has had unusual trouble In filling the vacancy for the Ficeroyalty of Canada. The appointment has not been officially announced, but it is gener- ally believed in the War Office that Lord Wolseley is the man who has been se- lected for this important post.
 Lord Wolseley is now within his 66th year. If he decides to accept the offer which has undoubtedly been made, he will retire from the army and devote the remainder of his life to official work as Governor General and to the comple- ton of the memoirs which he has long desired to write.

Washington, June l0-
 It is strongly suspected here tonight that reports of the army transports be- ing detained at Key West for fear or Spain's phantom fleet" were indulged in by war and navy strategists for purpose. The signal corps instituted most rigid censorship of press dis patches at Tampa and Key West. That it was effective Is evidenced by the fact that Eastern papers this morn ing print dispatches from these points dated June 6 -four days old). marked Delayed in transmission" Another evidence of the efficacy of this censor ship is the fact that no one in Washing ton tonight has positive knowledge of the whereabouts of the army trasports.
 It is beginning to dawn upon the press correspondents, however, that they have been hoodwinked by the off, cials. 1t is generally believed here that although some of the troop ships may have been detained at Port Tampa and Key West, the main body proceeded toward Santiago, and that the alleged fear of the Spanish phantom fleet" was a ruse de guerre concocted in or der to conceal the time our troops may be expected to arrive at Guantanamo Bay and thus surprise the Spauiards.
 If the main flotilla of troopships pro- ceeded to Cuba without delay they may be expected to arrive at their destina- tion on Sunday. A high official of the Navy Department tonight confessed that no fear of Spanish ships was felt

 The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press Postmaster Gen. eral Smiths paper) telegraphs as fol- lows:
 "A report that the President had or dered the transports to be detained at Key West because of the appearance of a Spanish squadron eighty miles from Havana was incorrect. The President has issued TO such order"
 The report of a squadron of Spanish ships, consisting of a battle-ship, two cruisers and torpedo-boat, having been seen on Tuesday night eiyhLy miles west of Havana, sailing in the direction of that port, is not credited here. The auxiliary gunboat, which is not report that they were Spanish yes sells. The Spanish Government has only one battles ship, the Pelayo, which Is at Cadiz, and is not likely to attempt to cross the ocean. As that battle-ship was at Cadiz three days ago it is inn possible that there could be any Span ish battle-ship in Cuban waters. The whole story is very fishy.
 But if the yarn Is true the United States has an ample fleet about Ha- vana to take care of any such squad ron as that. The battle-ship Indiana the four monitors-the Terror, the Am phitrite, the Puritan and the Mianto- nomoh-and the cruisers Detroit and Montgomery, to say nothing of the aux Hilary boats forming the blockading fleet, would be more than match for any fleet the Spanish could send to Havana.

 ON BOARD THE HERALD-C CALL DISPATCH BOAT, OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 10 (via Kingston, Ja- maica, June 10).-Rear- Admiral Samp- son is impatient at the delay in the ar rival of troops at Guantanamo. The Spanish batteries there were silenced on tuesday with little difficulty, and several vessels of the fleet are now pa trolling there, presumably awaiting the arrival of the landing party. One of the men from the Herald-Call dispatch boat landed at Guantanamo this morn ing, but he saw no signs of either Span iards or insurgents. The Marblehead was there on Wednesday with Captain of Marines Goodrell, who inspected sev- eral places suitable for making a land ing in force. Ships of Admiral Samp- sons fleet are now patrolling the shore between Santiago de Cuba and Guam tanamo, a distance of about thirty miles. The battle-ship Oregon, Mar blehead and Yankee have been detailed to hold the harbor at Guantanamo.
 The masts and stack of the sunken collier Merrimac, in the entrance to the harbor of Santiago, have disappeared from view. The Spaniards are trying to destroy the wreck, but it is said to be constantly under the guns of the two big warships. Two guns were fired at the fleet from the Notifications yesterday. A report has reached Ad- miral Sampson that the Vizcaya was sighted on the northern coast of Cuba, but the report is discredited.
 ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOAT WANDA, OFF SANTI- AGO, June g (via Kingston, Jamaica, June 10).-The navy awaits the army. The fighting ships of Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley have battered down the coast defenses of Southern Cuba and have sealed up Ad- miral Cerveras fleet in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba by sinking the col Her Merrimac in the channel at it's en- trance, which the guns of the fleet cover. Boats running under the shadows of Fl Morro have cut the Hay tan cables and now hold thirty five miles of the coast east of Santiago de Cuba, including Guantanamo harbor. Under the cover of the guns of the fleet Eastern Cuba may be safely invested by land and sea, Admiral Cervara's fleet annihilated and the entire province

Youthful Monterey County Couple Join Hands Beyond the Three

MONTEREY, Cal, June 10.-The par ticulars of one of the oldest weddings that ever occurred hereabouts have just become known and are serving as the topic of the moment. Last Sunday J. W. Thompson and Mamie Olsen, aged re- spectively r and 171a years, drove over from Salinas, accompanied by the brides sister and brother-in-law, MT. and Mrs. J. s. Bankson, and endeavored to en- gage a minister to perform a marriage ceremony for them at sea- Rev. H. s. Snodgrass, who is the clergyman always sought by couples who resort to weddings on the high seas off this point positively refused to go with them on Sunday, and they were obliged to wait until the Sab bath was over. Immediately after mid night, however, the party procured a boat and set out. and when the three mile limit was passed the ceremony was performed. Magnificent moonlight char acterized the night and added weirdness to the romantic wedding.
 The groom is employed at the sugar factory at Spreckels and the bride was a resident of Blanco.

ing that an expedition will go to Porto Rico very soon. It has been the in- tention to wait until Santiago was cap tured. and that course may yet be fol- lowed, as it is expected the American flag will fly over Santiago within the next five or six days.
 In case that result is accomplished Sampsons fleet will sail for San Juan and renew the bombardment of that place. The troops, however, may land at some distance from the city. The War Department has taken means to obtain full information in regard to the strength of the Spaniards in Porto Rico and no trouble in the capturing of that island is anticipated.
 It is certain an expedition will sail for Porto Rico in the near future.

BOUNDARIES ARE EXTENDED. England Gains Lease of More Ter

LONDON, June 10.-The newspapers here are printing many congratulations upon the signing of the Anglo-Chinese convention yesterday, which gives Great Britain an extension of the boundaries of Hongkong, including Kan Tung, of alto gether 200 square miles under lease, to which the greatest importance is at- tached, as the territory thus acquired is regarded as being essential for the pro- lection of Hongkong.
 When questioned in the House of Com mons last evening as to whether Russia contemplated sending troops to the Yang tse-Kiang Valley the Parliamentary Sec retary for the Foreign Office, George N Curzon, made an important statement to the effect that such a proceeding, with out the consent of China. would be an act Of war and, he added. the Govern ment would take. the requisite steps to protect the British interests. Obviously this is intended as a warning to Russia not to interfere in the Yang-tse- -Kiang Valley.
