should not be realized, General Miles original plan of landing 100000 troops west of Havana will be rapidly develop ed and Spain's last stronghold in the western hemisphere speedily destroyed.
 A Paris cable announcing positively that Cervera's fleet had proceeded to the Philippines from Cape Verde in- stead of to the West Indies, and that Admiral Villamirs squadron is the one bottled up in Santiago harbor, was ridi- culed at the Navy Department even be- fore Schley's official report came to- day.
 The administration has no fear that Spain will make an effort to regain the Philippines, as the attempt would be hopeless. In addition to the Monterey and Monadnock, the gunboat Benning- ton, now at Honolulu, will be sent to Manila Orders to that effect were to- day sent to Admiral Miller, command ing the Pacific station. It Is said that the Bennington will convoy the third Philippine expedition. With the arrival of these vessels, Admiral Dewey will have one of the most formidable fleets af1oat It will consist of twelve ves- sels-the Olympia, Monterey, Monad- mock, Boston, Baltimore, Raleigh, Charleston, Concord, Petrel, Benning- ton, McCulloch and the transport Za- fro.
 These vessels will, together, mount 192 guns. There will be in the fleet two twelve-inch, four ten-inch, twelve eight-inch, twenty-two five-inch rapid fire guns, a large number of six and four inch, one, two and three pounders, and fourteen terrible Gatling guns.
 But even with this powerful squad ron, other measures will be taken to render the harbor of Manila absolutely impregnable against assault. A large number of mines each containing fifty pounds of guncotton are being con- veyed to Manila on the City of Picking. This Is a fact vouched for by prom inent War Department official. These mines are of the kind sent to the North Atlantic squadron at the request of Rear Admiral Sampson. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars will also be expended for torpedoes for Manila har- bor.. These elaborate preparations for the defense of the Philippines would seem to indicate that this Government is preparing to occupy the island for a considerable length of time, If not per- | manently.
 Assistant Secretary. Meiklejohn said I to d Call. correspondent tonight that no definite time had been fixed for the |. departure of the Colon, China, Zealan- dia, Centennial and Ohio, comprising the second Manila expedition, with 5000 troops aboard, but he believed it would sail on Monday or Tuesday; at any r rate. not later than the middle of next week

SPAIN'S EXPEDITION
 TO. THE PHILIPPINES.
Minister Correa Says Troops Will Be :. Prepared to Start at any
 Mounept

MADRID, June S.-In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Lieutenant General Correa, Minister of War, in reply to an. inquiry. as to whether a Spanish ex- pedition would be sent to the Philip pines, said the Government was delib- erating on the matter, and that troops would. be ready to depart the moment they were required.
 Senor Azearrate, Republican, spoke against the proposal that the House should order a prosecution of Senor Castelar,, the distinguished Republican statesman, for his article attacking the Queen Regent was not inViolable, like a monarch, and he recalled the con- duct of previous regents. which had been criticized without causing scan dal.
 Senor Sagasta replied: "Parliamen- tary immunity is worthy of respect; but the inviolability of the crown ought to be defended with the utmost ener- gy. Parliamentary immunity does not extend to acts outside the chambers of Parliament and it is a pity that pre- cious time should be wasted in such a discussion.
 The House then decided to pass the order of the day and a discussion of the budget was resumed.
 Senor Castelar,, who is now at Ali cante. has declared to an interviewer that he will not come to Madrid to de- fend himself, observing at the same time that the article in question does not attack the Queen Regent, but the courtiers; and this has been permitted under absolute monarchS."

CARDINAL VAUGHAN

NEW YORK, June 3.-A dispatch from London says: Cardinal Vaughan, in letter to K. T. Stead, on Anglo American relations, rejoices at the prospect of closer friendship of those who are one with Englishmen in blood, language and ideas. The letter closes
 Personally l deplore the fact that the United States has chosen war with weak power like Spain instead of ar bitration, which was the alternative But I would not allow such disapproval to stand in the way of the great bene- fit that may result from an entente cordiale between England and Amer ica.

NEW YORK, June 3.-Chairman Stephen E. Barton, vice-president of the American National Red Cross So- ciety and chairman of the Central Gu ban Relief Committee, said to-day it was probable that some member of the American National Red Cross will pro- ceed to California in the immediate fu- ture to assist and advise in the work inaugurated there. Miss Barton, too, he said, would doubtless make appH- cation for a commission from the Pres ident for providing the Pacific with a relief ship in the event of such under taking being deemed advisable or necessary.

NEW YORK, June 3.-A dispatch from London says: A Havana dis patch says the insurgents have com- menced a forward movement against the Spanish outposts.

 Declare to Be a Bugaboo.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Notwith- standing the rather positive state ment coming from Jamaica to the effect that the second Span ish fleet from Cadiz has crossed the Atlantic and is about to join Ger vera to-day at Santiago, the officers of the Navy Department refuse to be frightened at what they declare to be a bugaboo.
 It appears that the basis of their confidence Is a telegraphic report of as late date as yesterday declaring that the Cadiz fleet is still at Cadiz. More over, they know that there are not as many as sixteen ships in that fleet.

lone HIGHWAY.
A Sacramento Firms Contract Not
Accepted.

The Supervisors of Amador County
are about to construct a macadam road
of one mile leading out of lone, and
bids were opened last week. Robert
Parker and partner of this city We're
the lowest bidders, but all bids We're
rejected. The Amador Record" of
Saturday says:
AT the regular session of the Super
visors this week two bids only were in
for the building of a mile of roadbed
on the lone highway. They were from
Sacramento and Oakland parties and
the figures were over $1,000 and 81 900
respectively. Inasmuch as the esti-
mates made by the State Bureau of
Highways on the cost of the same work
was only s., $50 per mile, the Supervis-
ors refused either bid and decided to
undertake the work themselves under
the direct supervision of the State
Board of Engineers.
TN adopting this plan the Supervise
ors will be able to determine what the
actual cost per mile is and it will also
give the State Bureau Of Highways an
opportunity of practically demonstrate
ing whether the estimates of their en-
gineers are correct or not. 1t will
likewise serve the Supervisors as an
authority for future operations on The
same line"

REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMIT
TEE ENLARGED.
Robert T. Devlin Endorsed for U
S. Attorney for the North
ern District.

The Republican County Central COM
rnittee has grown considerably since
Saturday. There were added to 1t yes
terday six new members, and the IN
crease was negotiated without any
hard words-in fact, without any debate
at all.
The committee has been considering
the matter of the proposed increase for
some time, and it was foregone con-
clusion when that body met yesterday
that the increase would be made.
The meeting was held in the office or
Chairman A. ]. Bruner, and there We're
present A. J. Bruner, A. J. Rhoads, r.
A. Daroux. George c. McMullen, w. j.
Murphy. William Lanphrey, Phil
Riehl, w H Govan, r. f. Richard

After some minor routine business
had been disposed of Daroux moved

ted a week ago increasing the COM
mittee by the addition of two members
from each of the three Assembly dis
tricts There was no discussion of the
matter and the roll was called with the
following result:
Ayes-Daroux, McMullen, Murphy,
Govan, Riehl. Lamphrey, Richardson
and A J, Bruner-S.
Noes-Rhoads, Eagon and Stevens-3.
The committee then chose the fol-
lowing named citizens as committee
men:
Twentieth Assembly District-Albert
Becker and Charles J. Chenu.
Twenty-first District-W r. Hall
and F. L. Martin.
Twenty District-James Whit
aker of Gait and J. T. Fairbain of

The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, BY the Republican County
Central Committee of the County of
Sacramento, that we do earnestly re-
quest the appointment of Robert t.
Devlin as United States Attorney for
the Northern District of California.
Mr.. Devlin is extremely we'll qualified
for the position. He has been engaged
in the practice Of law in Sacramento
City about twenty years, and is well
Versed in Federal procedure. He has
been an earnest Republican, and when
ever called upon has rendered such as
sistance as was in his power to aid
the Republican party in this section to
attain victory
Resolved, That this committee do
urgently request Hon. George c. Per-
kins, United States Senator, and Con-
gressmen James A 6arham, E F.
Loud and s. G. HiIborn to use their
best efforts to secure this appointment

luton be forwarded to the President,

General and to our Senator and Repre-
sentatives in Congress-"

A Democrats Views.

Eds. Record Union" In times like
these, when the critical eye of every
civilized nation on earth is focused or
the United States: when her instltu-
tons are subjected to the criticisms of
statesmen and scholars of al Christen-
dom, is it not humiliating to advocates
and lovers of republican freedom to
note the lack of confidence our own citi-
zens have in the efficiency of our demo
cratic form of government?
When the grave responsibilities OF
war, with all its possibilities ana prob
abilities of loss of thousands on thous-
2nds of human lives and the consequent
woes and anguish of myriads of widows,
OF phans and other dependents upon the
slain, we find hundreds of public jour-
nails. thousands of our citizens. an1 even
representatives in the highest branches
of national legislation, openly and with
out reserve, charging the Chief Execu-
tive Of their country with the gravest
and most despicable motives when he
exhibits a disposition to avoid war so
long as it can be avoided without dis
honor to his country and its untarnisheq
flag.
Nhile 1 am a Democrat of uneom-
promising texture, and my vote was cast
against the election Of Mr. Mckinley,
yet as one claiming to be true and pa
tIiotic American citizen, bow without
a murmur to the will of the ajority
and proclaim that Mr. Mckinley is as
much my President as he Is he !'resl-
dent of the most ardent partisan Repub-
lican in this Union of States. Ana
VIXEN newspapers and scteyning states
men of latter-day type charge him with
avoiding his duty. or rather wrongly
doing what he ought. from mean ana
merCenary motives. simply because it,
for the time, appears TO be popular to
make such charges, it IS a sad re1iec-
ton on the efficiency of popular gov
ernment.
The Governments of Europe are no
friends of our institutions. they do
not want to see democratic or repub-
lican institutions extended to any broad
er limits, and when they point to the
damning evidences furnished by cur own
press and statesmen. well may they say
that popular government IS Il failure
