The Fisher Gold Nine.

D. ]. Tompson. = mining expert
Of Breckenridge. Colorado, who was
employed last month by Kansas
capitalists to investigate the Fisher
gold mine on Salmon river, twelve
miles above Sawtooti1, and make a
report TO them, after carefully ex-
aiming the ore veins in sight and
thoroughly testing the ore, pro-
nounced it to be one of the best
mines in the state. Acting upon
Expert Tompson's report, R. D.
Dickinson, A. T. Colman, B. NJ. Col
man, Frank Miller, D. l.. Baker,
L. !. Baker and G. l.. Fleet, all OF
Kansas and all practical business
men who have had considerable ex-
perience in the mines of Colorado
and elsewhere, arrived in Ketchum
last Saturday with view of max J.
ing preparations to take hold of
the property. After purchasing
three months supplies, they left
Tuesday to commence work on the
mine, and if 1t proves to be as rep
resented they will put mill on the
property this fall, and when this is
accomplished the mine and mill will
give employment to over one hun
dred men.
Over $4,000 has been spent in
developing the Fisher mine; there
are over 200 tons Of free milling ore
now upon the dump which assays
from 500 to S., 900 per ton, and two
mining experts have pronounced
the mine to be worth 100000,
as tested and surveyed.
Ketchum will be the natural base
of supplies of that whole country,
and in event of the Fisher being
worked as extensively as is expect
ed it will cause a revival of our
towns former prosperity.

HAS CLEARED THE

Sampson's Work Makes Easy the Landing Of Invaders at
 Santiaeo de Cuba.

WASHINGTON, June 7.- Starting out with strong belief that there had been nothing in the nature of serious engagement between Sampson's forces and the Spanish defenses at Santiago the Navy Department officials. as the day wore on and the full and detailed reports of correspondents with the fleet began to flow in. were compelled to modify their view, and when the day closed they were about ready to admit that although without official informa- tion on the subject, it was evident that Sampson had made a strong attack upon the Spanish force.
 The one point upon which they main tained their confidence was that no troops had been landed. They were pre- pared to learn that Sampson might be clearing the way with his big guns for the landing of the troops, or that pos- sibly some marines had been landed temporarily, but that forces had been put ashore they would not admit, for the reason that no information had reached the War Department of the ac- tual departure of the soldiers from the Gulf ports for Cuba. It Is not de- nied, however, that every effort is

NAVAL CADETS TO GET
 AGLIMPSE OF WARFARE
Annapolis Men Assigned to Battle Ships in West Indian Waters
 During Their vacation.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Navy De- partment has decided to give the naval cadets at Annapolis an opportunity to see real warfare by taking assignment on the warships in lieu of the customary summer vacation. As a result about half of the second-class men and quite a number of duty on the Indiana, New York, Iowa and other ships in West Indian waters.
 The assignments are not general, apply elective by the cadets themselves. They are showing much eagerness for the ser vice. as disclosed by the large number of applications thus far made. The depart ment has approved the applications in all cases, unless some personal or family ob jection was raised The assignments are made to the larger ships, as they afford boats and auxiliary craft not having the room for extra men. The cadets will be made useful mainly as signal officers.

SPANISH VERSIONS
 OF BOMBARDMENT
Cervera Makes Some Admis- sions of Defeat, but Blaneo

Copyrighted 1SsS by James Gordon Bennett.
 HAVANA, June 7.-General Linares, military commander at Santiago de Cuba, has officially reported to General Blanco that at 8 o'clock Monday morn ing the American feets began com bined attack upon the defenses at the entrance of Santiago de Cuba Bay. Ac- cording to his report, ten out of twen- ty-four ships were in sight during the firing, which continued without inter- ruption during three hours. In that time the American guns threw more than 1500 missiles.
 The Morro, Soeapa and Punta Gorda batteries returned the fire. At 12 o'clock the cannonading was begun again at Aguadores landing and continued for an hour. Both attacks, General Linares says, were repelled. The firing of the Americans damaged only the outside of the barracks of Morro Castle, which were built during time of peace and were unprotected. Cayo Smith was struck, but the damage was not great. General Linares also reports that the cruiser Reina Mercedes was struck
 He says no guns at the forts were dis mounted. He says no damage on the American ships was visible. As it grew dark nine of the American ships had disappeared. He reports that the Span ish army losses were one chief killed and four officers and twenty-one sol diers wounded. One navy chief and five sailors were killed and one officer and twelve sailors wounded. It is supposed the American ships have had '.impor- tant losses"
 MADRID, June 7.-The following off, cial dispatch has been received here from Havana: Colonel Aldea com manding a Spanish column, has had some sharp fighting with a body of rebels who are supporting the landing Of American forces near Santiago de Cuba Two American warships pro- tected the landing party. The result of the operations is not known.
 Tt is supposed that the renewal of the bombardment of Santiago, lasting from to Il o'clock on Monday morn ing, was intended to distract the atten- tion of the Spaniards and to enable the landing to be effected without molesta- tion."
 A later dispatch from General Aldea says that one of his soldiers was hit by the American shells, which, he as- serts, fell among the insurgents.
 The following official dispatch has been received from Admiral Cervera:
 Six American vessels have bonn barded the Notifications at Santiago and along the adjacent coast. Six were killed and seventeen wounded on board the Reina Mercedes. Three officers were killed and an officer and seventeen

Report That the Islands May Be Taken as "War Measure" if the Annexation Treaty
 Is Beaten.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 7.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald sends the following: There is still a possi- oll1ty that the Hawaiian annexation resolution will come up in the House during the present week. though some or it's advocates fear a deliberate ef- fort is being made to postpone, in ac- cordance with an alleged understand Ing with certain Senators that if it is delayed in the House until the war bill has been sent to the President, Con- gress will adjourn before the Senate can act on it. If this plan is carried will take the islands as war measure, without waiting for the Senate to act at the next session.
 The President has full power under law and precedent. The law he relies upon is that of 1856, relating to guano islands, which may be discovered or taken possession of by citizens of the United States and are not within the lawful jurisdiction of any other govern ment The chief precedent referred to is the taking of Amelia Island at the mouth of St. Mary's River, Florida, by direction of President Monroe in 1877. Amelia Island was at that tirGe Span ish territory, but was occupied by a band of pirates, which Spain failed to suppress.
 A precedent for taking foreign ter ritory for war purposes was afforded by General Jackson, when he pursued the Seminole Indians into Florida, then Spanish possession, and took posses sion of Spanish military posts.

TROOPS LAND AND
 DEFEAT SPANIARDS
Insurgents Said to Have Formed a Junction With the
 Americans.

Copyrighted, 1898. by James Gordon Bennett
 CAPE HAYTIEN, June IA dis patch dated at Santiago de Cuba at midnight says during the lombard ment of Santiago on Monday force of 800 troops (American) was landed at Diaquiri, a short distance east of Aguadores. The firing on the landing at Aguadores, which began about noon, was undoubtedly intended to cover the movement by which the troops were put on shore.
 There was a sharp encounter with the Spanish military forces that were guarding the landing place, but the only news of its result is that the Span iards were driven back. What their loss was is not known. The American force is believed to have formed a junction with the insurgents, who have now been well supplied with arms and ammunition and are ready to assist in the land attack on Santiago.
 The dispatch from Santiago said the firing on the forts in front of Santiago harbor began at quarter before 8 o'clock. The firing did not cease until half past 10 o'clock. It was resumed at noon, and 1t was during the second attack that the landing at Diaquiri was effected.
 During the bombardment 1900 projec- tiles were fired by the American yes sells and the damage to the Spanish forts is said to have been very great. No dispatches have been received from Santiago since Monday at midnight and 1t is believed the cable has been cut.

NO RELIEF FOR
 ADMIRAL CERVERA
Spain Without Power to Send a Single Ship to His
 Assistance

NEW YORK, June 7.-The Herald's correspondent at Washington tele- graphs: There is absolutely no hope for naval re-enforcements for Admiral Ger vera or for the blockaded city of San tiago de Cuba. Spain is without power to send single ship to his assistance. Reports of the appearance of a Spanish squadron in the vicinity of the Wind ward Islands or that Spanish vessels were sighted off Madagascar, as pub lished in Madrid, are absolutely erone- ous. Information of an authentic char acter received by the Navy Depart ment is to the effect that the Spanish reserve squadron is still at Cadiz and there is little likelihood of its ultimate departure.
