ON TO THE PHILIPPINES.
Camara's Squadron Said to Have
Reached Port Said ON the Way
to Attack Dewey.

London, June 27.--A dispatch from
Alexandria, Egypt, states that the Span
ish squadron, with transports, has ar
rived at Port Said. Port Said is at the
Mediterranean entrance of the Suez
canal.
Considerable comment as to Admiral
Camara's movements is heard. His
stopping at Port Said is puzzling. but
the assumption is that he probably is
awaiting fresh instructions from Mad
rid. Few believe he will ever reach
Manila or Iloilo, which is regarded as
more likely destination, owing to coal
ing difficulties. A dispatch from Cairo
says: IF Admiral Camara Goals at
Port Said he would not, under the neu-
trality law, be allowed to enter the Suez
canal. 1t is supposed if he traverses
the canal that he will endeavcr to
obtain coal at Obock, on the Gulf of
Alden" In any event the matter is re-
garded as of no Importance, since it is
recognized that he can do nothing to in
terfere with the American operations
or retard the fall of Manila.
Port Said, June 27.-Admiral Ca
mara's squadron is in the harbor await
ing orders. 1t consists of the battle
ship Pelayo, Admiral Camara's flag
ship; the iron-clad Emperado Carlos
Quintos, two armored cruisers. three
torpedo boats and five transports carry
ing 1000 troops.
Madrid, June 27.-The arrival Of the
Spanish fleet at Port Said causes so sur
prise here, Admiral Camara having an
nounced that he was going to the Phil
ippines. The threat of the American
government to attack the Spanish coast
has had no effect. A third squadron is
preparing for the defense of the toast.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1898-06-30

A member of the cabinet in an inter-
view said: LET them come. We will
receive them as they deserve"
Washington, June 81 Notwith-
standing the report of the arrival
of Admiral Camara's squadron at
Port Said, the westerly entrance to the
Suez canal, the officials here still doubt
that the vessels are bound for the Phil
ippines. Rumors reach here, uncon-
firmed as yet, that the only ironclads
in the squadron, the Pelayo and Carlos
", have left the squadron and returned
to Spain, so that Camara no longer pos
sesses a force that would threaten
Dewey. If this be so, either the Span
iards have realized the folly of leaving
their home ports unprotected or they
have received information from the
British government that the navigation
of the Suez canal cannot be jeopardized
by allowing such deep draft, unwieldy
ironclads to attempt the passage.
Some attention has been attracted at
the state department by the dispatch
from Madrid to a British paper stating
that Camara's purpose is not to attack
Dewey, but to seize and hold with his
ships another island in the Philippine
group. 1t is supposed, if this be Sc, that
the object is purely diplomatic, the
Spanish government being anxious to
truthfully assert, in the event that
peace negotiations are forced upon it.,
that the United States is not in such
complete occupancy of the Philippines
as would justify demand for their re-
tention as one of the terms of peace.
The story printed by an English news
paper of the killing of Capt. Bob
Evans and some of his men in the
coming tower of the Iowa by shell of
the Spanish cruiser Vizcaya, is pro-
nounced at the navy department to be 4
cruel canard. No word was received
from Sampson Sunday and with cable
line near him it is not imagined for
moment that he would fail to report
Immediately an occurrence of such
gravity Probably the sole foundation
for this story was the attack made about
a week ago by Sampson upon the forts
at the entrance of Santiago harbor in
which the Spanish cruiser Reina Mer-
cedes was sunk and one of the Spanish
torpedo boats disabled. The report
originated in Spanish source and the
officials of both the war and navy de-
partments are expecting that numbers
of such canards will be put afioat
throughout the campaign.

WORK OF THE ELEMENTS.
Great Damage to Property and Some
Loss of Life by a Storm I'm
Northwestern States.

Chicago, June 27.-The storm of wind
and rain which swept over several of
the states Friday night and early Sat-
urday morning was one of the most Sc
we're experienced for several years, and
in many localities great damage was
done. A cyclone swept through the
wheat region of North Dakota, laying
in waste hundreds of thousands of acres
of growing wheat. Following the cy-
clone came a storm of hail, rain and
lightning, which cost several people
their lives and resulted in many build
ings being wrecked. Another center
Iowa, and there the property loss
amounts to many thousands of dollars.
Buildings were unroofed or RACED to
the ground, railroad tracks and bridges
washed out, big trees broken or uproot-
ed and the growing crops beaten into
the ground. With the wind and rain
came an electric display seldom
equaled. Many buildings were struck
by lightning, although few people were
killed. Stock suffered to a consider
able extent, however. The following
summary shows the points at which the
most ruiz was wrought by the ele-
ments:
Belvidere, Ill.-Reports on the storm show
that it played havoc with the oat crop and
flooded the country north of here Many
bridges over Beaver creek were washed
out. Lightning struck the home of Ran
som Tuttle, where a church social was
being held, and tore the door screen to
pieces, but injured no one. One farmer
had nine head of cattle killed by light
ming.
Algonquin, Ill.-The severest storm in this
vicinity for 16 years swept over Algonquin
last night. The railroad on both sides
was washed out, and the village will be
cut off from the outside world for sew
