SPAlN'S PREPARATIONS.
Securing European Waters for Warships
-Mobilizing Her Fleet.

New York, April 16.-Oficial con-
frmation has been given to the an
nouncement of the departure of the
cruisers Vizcaya and Almirante
Oauendo for the Cape Verdes islands,
where the Spanish torpedo fleet is ly-
ing. says the Washington correspond
ent of the Herald. They left San Juan
five days ago, and are expected at their
destination within the next two or
three days.
In accordance with the instructions
given by the Spanish minister of ma
rine, the mobilization OF the Spanish
naval force at Cadiz continues. Spain
is securing the European markets for
desirable merchant ships which can be
transformed into auxiliary cruisers.
No confirmation has been received OF
the rumored purchase by Spain of the
Saale and Spree, OF the North German
Lloyds line. Should it prove true, and
should war break out within the next
10 days, it can be stated on excellent
authority that the Saale at least will
fly the Spanish flag. The Saale
will arrive at New York on Saturday
next, and if the Saale has been sold to
Spain there is no doubt the govern
ment would seize her at New York and
impress her into the American navy.
The Spree is in German waters. so
that it will be impossible to reach her.
Besides the Spree, Saale, Normannia
and Columbia, Germany has other mer-
chant ships especially built for CONVEX
sion into auxiliary cruisers, which it
is believed here her agents are inspect
ing.

period of "a hours, upon the expiration
of which return to Hampton Roads.

In effect, a v the Washington corre-
spondent of the Herald, these are the
instructions telegraphed to Commodore
Schley, commander of the flying squad
ron, Yesterday, which caused him to
leave his anchorage off Fortress Monroe
at 2 O'Clock Wednesday and proceed to

that Commodore Schley had no other
instructions. Should it be deemed adj
visable while he is at sea to direct him
to a better strategic point than Hamp-
ton Roads, or should war come, in
structions will be sent to him by one
of the vessels now lying at Norfolk oil

There has been some talk of having
the ships drop down as far south al

ALASKA SALMON FISHERIES.
Secretary of the Treasury Has n Bill
for Their Protection.

Secretary of the Treasury Has n Bill
for Their Protection.
The secretary of the treasury has
submitted to congress the draft of u
bill for the amendment Of the laws
now in force for the protection of the
salmon fisheries of Alaska. The secre-
tary thinks that the p'ssent laws are
inadequate to meet the existing re-
quirements and should be amended.
The proposed changes are based on rec
concentrations submitted by agents
who were appointed to investigate the
state of the fisheries, and are as fol-
lows:
Traps should only be erected under
regulations prescribed by the secretary
of the treasury.
The protection to salmon trout
should be withdrawn, as those fish
are said to be destructive to salmon
spawn and fry.
The laws should be extended to ter
ritorial waters so as to prevent the
erection of Instructions in rivers and
streams.
No salmon canneries should be erect
ed in Alaska without permission from
the secretary of the treasury.
An annual statement should be made
by all canneries and such establish
ments to special agents for salmon fish
cries, and employees of the treasury
department should be assigned to act as
special agents without extra compensa-
ton.
A tax should be levied upon the out
put OF all canneries, salteries, fish oil
and fertilizer works; aud the penalty
for violation of the fisheries law should
Le increased from 81, 900 to So, 900.

1--WE, the Republican voters of the
state of Oregon, in convention assem-.
bled, congratulate the people Of the
state as well as of the whole nation on
the unmistakable fact that the dark
cloud OF adversely, which has hung like
a pail over our fair land. has been dis
sipated. We recognize that the return
Of prosperity is due to the restoration
OF the Republican party to power.
Eve are in favor of the maintenance
of the present gold standard; we are
unqualifedly opposed to the free coin
age of silver and to all other schemes
looking to the debasement of the cur
rency and the reputation of debt. We
believe that the best money in the
world is none too good to be assured by
the government to the laborer as the
fruit of his toll and to the farmer as the
price of his crop. We condemn the
continued agitation for free silver as
calculated to jeopardize the prosperity
of the country and to shake the conf
dence of the people in the maintenance
of a wise financial policy; we particu-
larly condemn as unpatriotic the efforts
of the free-silver agitators to array class
against class and section against Sec
ton; we declare that the interests of
all classes and OF all sections of our
country alike demand a sound and
stable financial system.
"While we deplore the imminence OF
war, we recognize that the country is
on the eve of war, undertaken for the
vindication of the national honor and
the performance of a work dictated by
every instinct of humanity; we declare
that the administration is entitled in
this conflict to the confidence and sup
port of the entire people.
"We are firmly attached to the prin'
ciples of the federal constitution; W.
recognize that representative govern
ment is one of these principles, and WI
are opposed to any change in law o
constitution which will abrogate thi
time-honored principle.
eve are in favor Of retrenchmen
and reform in state and county matters
eve demand strict economy in pub
lie affairs, and the abolition of all need
less offices and commissions.
"The salmon fishing industry, s
fruitful a source of revenue to the state
should be fostered, and to that end W
favor state aid in the artificial props
cation of salmon, and their distribr
tion in the waters of this state.
1--WE affirm our allegiance to tn
/, principles of the Republican party {
the United States, as enunciated by tn
Republican convention in st. Louis j
1896.
"We denounce the fusion party
| Oregon as an aggregation of spoilsmel
who are ready to subordinate principle
! to offices. Each Of the parties to tn
compact is willing to s~tultify itself an
} form alliances with elements which
has heretofore denounced as dangero,

PLOT TO INJURE THE MARIETTA.

Spaniards Intended to Blow the Gum
boat Up in the Valparaiso Harbor.
New York, April 1S.-It is stated
that there was a plot here to injure the
United States gunboat Marietta while
she was in this port, says the Valpar-
also correspondent Of the Herald.
just prior to the arrival of the Mari
eta, the United States consulate in
Valparaiso was informed by trustworthy
persons that an attempt against the
gunboat was contemplated by Spanish
subjects in Chile. Immediately upon
receipt of this information the United
States minister, Henry l.. Wilson,
Consul John F. Caples and Vice Con-
sui August Muller, jr., called upon
the governor of the province and laid
the matter before him. This explains
the unexpected trip OF the United
States minister from Santiago to Val
paraiso.
Once acquainted with the fears of the
american representatives and the facts
IN the case, the governor Immediately
gave assurance that the city and mari
tim authorities would take precautions
TO protect the Marietta, and extended,
through the minister, a cordial vel
come to the officers and m
During the stay'of the Marietta nc
greater vigilance could have been exer
clsed by the Chilean authorities had
the safety of one of their own warships
depended upon it. Before the gunboat
sailed the American minister, consu
and yice-consul, accompanied by Cap
tam Symonds, of the Marietta, called
upon the governor and on behalf of the

Chllern authorities for what had beer
done to protect the warship. = g.

LEES TESTIMONY
Reasons for Belief That Span

MINES IN HAVANA HARBOR
Two Rows of TorpedOes Placed Across
the Entrance Recently-Lee AbsolVes
, BIance From the Maine Plot.

BIance From the Maine Plot.
Washington, April l6.-The testi-
mony taken before the senate commit
tee on foreign relations in connection
with the investigation into the relations
between the United States and Cuba
was made public today. 1t constitutes
a book of about $50 pages, and includes
not only the testimony taken since the
disaster to the Maine, but also much
that was known before and running
back for q year OF more.
The statement which contains great
est current interest is that made by
General Lee on the 18th inst. In his
statement Lee says he was informed
on very good authority that the Span
iards placed two rows of torpedos just
at the mouth OF Havana harbor within
the past two months, or subsequent to
the Maine disaster, and that switch
boards are in a room in Moro castle.
''Had you any reason to suppose the
harbor was mined at all before the
blowing up of the Maine?" asked Sena-
tor Frye.
"No, sir. l had no reason to suspect
anything of that sort up to that time"
He then went on to say that the
writer of a letter to Santos Gusman
had led him to believe mines might
have been placed there previous to the
Maine incident, and he said this sup
position was strengthened by a tele-
gram from Weyler, of which he had
cognizance. Upon the whole, he
thought the Weyler letter (the Laine
letter. was a correct copy Of the genu-
inc letter. The telegram to which he
referred was addressed to Eva Canela,
a noted Spanish woman and admirer
OF Weyler, and to Senior Gusman, and
it read as follows:
"Grave circumstances cause me to
ask you to destroy the letter Of Febru-
any H."
Lee said this telegram had never
before been published. and he found in
it strong confirmatory evidence Of the
genuineness Of the letter.
With reference to responsibility for
the destruction of the Maine, Lee said:
81 am satisfied the explosion was
from the outside. | have always be-
lieved the Maine was not blown up by
, any private individual, but by SOM
officers who had charge of mines ant
, electric wires and torpedos in the ar

Washington, April 1S.-Decidedly
the most warlike step taken by the war
department in preparing for the posi-
biiitv of an encounter with Spain was
inaugurated today, when orders were
issued for the concentration at four
noints in the South of six regiments of
cavalry, 90 regiments of infantry, and
the light batteries of five regiments OF
artillery.
At Chickamauga there will be six
reuiments of cavalry and the light bat
teIies of five regimeDts of artillery; at
New Orleans eight regiments OF in
iantry; at Tampa seven regiment of in
iantry, and at Mobile seven regiments
OF infantry.
Since the civil war, no such piopor-
ton of the army has been modified,
and the movement itself is the best
evidence of the gravity of the situation,
as looked upon by the president and
his advisers.
The determination to rendezvous the
troops in the South where they can be
accustomed to the conditions of a more
tropical climate, has been under con-
sideration by the president and his
cabinet for some time. 1t was not I'M
til today, however, that the president,
in view of the enormous expense which
will be entaile6, felt justified in TAX
ing this step.
When Secretary Agler returned from
the cabinet meeting, he at once called
into conference General Miles and Adj
i~utant-G General Corbin and acquainted
them with the result of the cabinets
deliberations.
There were hurried consultations,
in which the acknowledgement,
who has charge of the transportation
OF troops; the commissary-general, who
looks after their subsistence, and rep.
resentatives in Washington of various
railroads running to the South, p%artici
pated.
The two new regiments of artillery
recently authorized by congress hav'
not been recruited to their full
strength, and in addition are not wei
equipped with horses and other neces
sary requisites for service, and therefore
are not included in today's orders.
The department has SO distributed
the 90 regiments Of infantry at convent
ent places on the Gulf that they viii
be accessible for transportation to Cuba
Proposals have been invited from
steamship companies for charterin
vessels to the government for this work
Instructions to the commanding Off
GERS of the regiments ordered to NOV
were sent out late today, with direc
tions that they be put into effect a
soon as possible. 1t is the contiden
expectation of the officials that tn
movement in some places will begi
tomorrow. The railroad facilities ar
more than ample to meet the demand
of the occasion, and no trouble will b
oCcasioned in mobilizing this large bod
OF men at the places designated with
a reasonably short time,
