Kingston, Jamaica, June 6--News
has been received today from
Port Antonio, confirming the report
brought here yesterday by a vessel
from Santiago de Cuba, saying the
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror
(Furor?( had been sunk by an Ameri
can warship- 1t appears that the bat
tleship Oregon saw long craft sneak
toward the harbor. She signalled the
craft to turn and the signals were i'm
properly answered, whereupon the Ore
gon opened fire upon her a 13-inch
shell struck the torpedo boat amidships
and she sank with all hands.
The vessel is supposed to have been
the Spanish torpedo boat destroyer
Terror, trying to make her way from
Porto Rico into the harbor of Santiago
de Cuba, to rejoin the fleet of Admiral
Cervera, with which she arrived at
Fort de France, island of Martinique.
The Terror was compelled to remain at
Fort de France, owing to her boilers
it is believed the torpedo destroyer
sunk. may have been the F'uror of Ad-
niral Cervera's fleet, as the latest re-
ports concerning the Terror seem to
show that her boilers were still out of
order.
The Spanish torpedo destroyers
Furor and Terror were built in GIas-
gov for Spain and completed their Of
fetal trials November. 1896 They are
bigger than any of their type in the
British fleet, being 22O feet long and p
feet broad. Their armament consists
of two 14-pound rapid fire Maxim
NordfeIdt, two 16-pounders, some cali
There are also two fourteen inch deck
pivoted torpedo tubes on Schwarzkoff
system.
The mean of runs on the measured
mile was one point over 2S knots, which
speed was also maintained on a two
hour run in hard southwesterly wind
During the trial of the F'uror, that YES
sci had a full load of rs tons on board,
which is considerably greater than the
load carried by the destroyers of the
British and other governments.
Mole St Nicolas, Hayti, June 6.-Ad-
vices received here today from the
flagship New York, off Santiago de
Cuba and forwarded at 4 o'clock Sun

the report from Port Antonio. Jamaica.
that the Torpedo destroyer Terror had
been sunk by the United States bat
tleship Oregon.
1t is also reported from the flagship
that no further news has been received
from the Merrimac prisoners. A launch
came out from the shore on Sunday
morning, under a flag of truce and the
Spanish officer who was in charge of
the boat said he thought he saw a flag
of truce flying on board the Iowa. When
the officer discovered his mistake the
launch returned to Morro Castle.

Santiago with apprentices for the fleet.

is sure.

Cape Haytien, June 6.-(Copyright,
1898, by the Associated Press.)-Dis-
patches received here say it is reported
in Santiago de Cuba that United States
troops have been debarked at Punta
Cabrera.
The dispatch adds there was heavy
cannonading yesterday afternoon at
Santiago de Cuba and that extraordi-
nary commotion prevailed in that place.
All the Spanish troops, it is said, were
concentrated at the Notifications in the
suburbs and it was understood among
the noncombatants that the insurgents
and American forces were making a
grand attack on the landward side.
New York, June ga special from
Cape Haytien today reports that at
daylight this morning, under cover of
Admiral Sampson's guns, a force of
United States troops were landed at
Aguadores, a short distance east of
Santiago harbor.
Cape Haytien, Hayti. June 6.-At 3
O'Clock this morning strong cannonad-
ing was heard from the direction of
Aguadores, a little east of MORO cas-
tie, which defends the eastern entrance
of the harbOr of Santiago.
A quarter of an hour later the noise
of the cannonading greatly increased,
the firing evidently proceeding from
guns of the largest calibre.

The Mining Congress.

Frank E. Johness arrived
last Friday from his atten-
dance upon the International
Mining Congress at Salt Lake
and reports an attendance of
over 600 delegates and great
enthusiasm. He took down
an exhibit of ores from Elk
City and Dixie which attract.
ed a great deal of attention
and elected much favorable
comment from the delegates
and press of the city. In ad,
dition, Mr.. Johness had print
ed a little pamphlet describing
these camps, which he dis
tributed broadcast, and from
the enquiries which are COM
ing in to the FREE PRESS for
more detailed information, we
can vouch for the good that
was accomplished for this sec
ton by his presence and en-
ergy, w. B. Hepburn, the
corporation lawyer of this
state, offered amendments to
the u. S. mining laws which
practically wiped out all local
laws, rules and regulations.
These amendmentsMr. Johness
rightly opposed and helped to
defeat. The other PROPOSE
tons to make locations square,
and to have the mining law re-
garding lines apply similarly
to blanket and vertical veins,
were also defeated.

only counties in this state
which displayed mineral ex.
