SECURES A BRIEF RESPITE.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Lieutenant Carranza and Senor Dubosc, who are conducting their Spanish operations from Montreal, have succeeded in ob- taining brief respite from expulsion through the denial by Carranza of the accuracy of certain features of the let ter attributed to him. The British au- thorities acted on the assumption that the translation of the Carral-za letter was correct and that there was no doubt that the Spanish officials were using Canada as base for hostile ac- ton against the United States. But since a question is raised as to the ac- curacy of the translation no step is likely to be taken toward forcible ex- pulsion until the translation is estab- lished as correct. The British authori- ties have been ready from the outset to act on a well-established case, but the expulsion of a foreigner is such a seri- ous matter that it is said no such step would be proper while the evidence was open to question. The Uarranza denial raises a question of veracity which can be readily settled by the production of the original letter. This is not in the possession of the State Department, but it is understood to be in the hands of the secret service branch of the Treasury Department. When the ac- curacy of the translation is established the British authorities will act promptly.

MONTREAL, June 6.-Lieutenant Carranza and Senor Dubosc were ar rested at $50 to-day on capias issued at the instance of Detective Kellert at the house of the Consul General of Spain.
 Magistrate La Fontaine to-day hon. orably discharged Detective Kellert from custody on the charge of stealing the now famous letter from Lieutenant Carranza Immediately afterward Kel- lerts lawyer took steps to take out a damage suit for $25,000 jointly and severally against Senors Dubosc and Carranza for false arrest. The money they have in the Bank of Montreal will be garnisheed and leave will be asked to seize their personal property before judgment, so as to have guarantee on their part for costs.
 LONDON, June 6.-The United States Ambassador, Colonel Hay, called at the Foreign Office to-day and presented evidence of the Spanish officials making Canada the base of hostile operations and protested against the continuance of this practice. The protest is based on the fact that 1t would be a breach of neutrality for Great Britain to per init her territory to be used for such purposes.

TREACHERY AMONG THE
 PHILIPPINE REBELS
Many Insurgents Eager to Win the Price Set Upon the Head
 of AguinaIdo.

MANILA, May 27, via Hongkong. June 6.-Reports are rife of treachery among the rebels. Their origin may be Spanish, but I believe many former rebels are anxious to gain the reward of $25, 900 offered for General Aguihaldo, dead or alive. The rebel leader, Jok- son. has been betrayed by his party and shot. Their excuse was that they suspected Jokson of being a Spanish spy. The former rebel, Trias, former ly secretary to Aguinaldo and now a major of native militia, loyal to Spain, has promised to capture Aguinaldo dead or alive.
 The American admiral and generals had better rely on their own resources. After their first success the natives will flock to their banner.
 Riots continue in the provinces of Pagasinan, Zambales and La Union. The rebels have burned many corvents and churches. They killed four Span- iards and one priest in La Union.
 Former Rebel Baldemero Aguinaldo has been shot by Trias for refusing to operate against his cousin. Emilio Baldemero. 0 former active rebel. who has become commander of the native militia loyal to Spain.

Gold Standard Platform Triumphs Against a Combination of Silver
 Fusionists.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORTLAND, Or, June 6.-The State election to-day resulted in victory for the entire Republican State ticket. T. T. Geer, Republican, for Governor, will have a plurality of at least 5000 and may be larger. The Republicans have elected majority of the Legis- lature, which will insure the election of a Republican United States Sena- tor to fill the vacancy now existing from this State.
 M. A. Moody Is elected Congressman from the Second District, and the in- dications are that T. H. Tongue will be elected from the First District.
 At 11:3o Chairman G. A. Steel of the Republican State Central Committee gave out the following:
 The Republicans have carried the State by at least 5000 majority, the county and city ticket in Portland, cer- tainly the Second Congressional district and probably the First. though returns are so slow from the First district that positive announcement cannot be made"
 Less than 1000 votes out of a total of 16,000 in this city had been counted at 10 o'clock tonight. Geer, Republican for Governor. has 425 to 300 for King. Fusionist, out of the votes counted Mason, Republican. for Mayor of this city, is probably elected by 1000 plural ity. Owing to the length of the ticket counting proceeds very slowly
 The Oregonian will say tomorrow: "The Republicans claim they have car ried Oregon by not less than 5000 ma jority. This result has been gained on platform distinctly declaring for a. gold standard and against free coinage of silver. At Portland the Republicans have elected the Mayor and claim the whole legislative ticket"

MONADNOCK WILL
 SAIL WITHIN TEN DAYS
Navy Department to Purchase a Ship to Accompany the
 Monitor

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The Navy Department gave orders to-day that the double -turreted monitor Monad- nook, now at Mare Island, Cal, should be made ready to sail for Manila within ten days, and the necessary orders were hurriedly telegraphed. The Mon terey will not wait for the company of the Monadnock. but should besoff in the course of few hours under the con voy of the Brutus. The Navy Depart ment will immediately procure another merchant ship to accompany the Mon- adnock on her 6000-mile voyage.
 The Monadnock Is a most powerful double turreted monitor. With twin screws and 5000 horsepower engines, she Is easily able to make 121a knots an hour Built on the general lines of the Amphitrite, she has better engines and more power than that monitor. She carries four 10-inch guns in two tur- rets, besides two finch rapid-fire guns in a easement and numerous second ary battery. Her coal capacity is 250 tons in bunkers and almost as much more stowage room can be found on the decks Consequently the Mcnad- nook has the ability to make a longer cruise than the Monterey without re- plenishing her coal supply, yet her ca- pacity is still too small to permit her to make the passage from Honolulu to the Philippines unaided. With these two monitors Admiral Dewey will be fully able to take care of himself, even should the much-talked-o Cadiz fleet undertake to attack him in Manila har- Inr

Senor Giron Admits the Government Cannot Confirm the Blowing

MADRID, June 6.-In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Senor Giron, the Minister for the Colonies. replying to inquiries on the subject, said the Gov ernment had no information tending to confirm the Spanish report that the United States cruiser Baltimore had been blown up by an internal explo- sion at Manila, except the fact that Lloyd's Gazette had erased the Balti- more from it's list of American ships"
 Deputy Comas asked If a note had been sent to the powers pointing out the American violations of interna- tional law and he urged the Govern ment to include in such communica- tion the fact that the Americans had furnished arms to an almost savage race in the Philippine Islands,
 Senor Giron declined to say whether or not a note had been sent.

 ON BOARD THE HERALD-CALL DISPATCH BOAT OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, via Kingston, Jamaica, June 6.-When left the squadron un- der Rear Admiral Sampson in front of Santiago de Cuba yesterday plans had been made for an attack on the town to-day. The assault was to have taken place yesterday. but was postponed. we were billed to smash the Cuban outfit" Captain Bob" Evans of the Iowa told me. "All the plans for the bombardment had been made. The ships were cleared for action and every thing was ready, when a delay was or dered. This delay was probably due to the appearance of a Spanish launch bearing a flag of truce, which started from the cruiser Alnirante Oquendo just about the time the order for the bombardment was to have been given. The Spanish officer in command of the launch said it was thought on the Oquendo that a signal flag had been displayed on the Iowa. As soon as he learned his mistake he returned to his ship"
 The Resolute has reached the fleet with ammunition and supplies. There is no doubt among the officers of the squadron that a Spanish torpedo boat destroyer was sunk last night.

the Yale the authorities are silent. l understand she will join the St. Louis In patrol work and no surprise need be expressed If these two vessels are not shortly reported cruising off the Span ish coast, endeavoring to learn any thing of value concerning Spanish movements, which would be tele- graphed to Washington.
 The desire of the authorities to arm without delay the auxiliary cruisers of the American line is another indication of their intention to put the vessels into condition to be drafted into a fly ing squadron which may be dispatched to Spanish waters when operations against Santiago and the Spanish fleet are concluded.
 The four auxiliary cruisers, with their great coal capacity, would enable the squadron's stay at sea for some time, and this, the officials say, is one of the greatest advantages in favor of the for nation of such fleet.

 and Troops Are Called Out
 to Restore Order.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 BELFAST, June 6.-During the cele- bration of, the annivarsary of June S, 1886, when seven civilians were shot on Shank Hill Road by the constabulary, the Nationalist procession, while re- turning this evening from Hannans- town, was broken up in a riot Several thousand Orangemen in the Shank Hill Road attacked and overpowered the police and chased them back into the broad square barracks. Several mounted constables were severely in jured and one had his leg broken The police endorsements which arrived were compelled to threaten the crowd with their revolvers before they were able to rescue their comrades from the fury of the mob, which took up the street for missiles. The troops were then called out, but the mob cheered them and sang Rule Britannia"
 The disturbances then ceased, though the excitement continued. The feeling of the Orangemen against the police is very bitter. Many civilians were in- jured. A score of arrests were made.
 MIDNIGHT-The riots have been re- newed, and at late hour this evening the troops were compelled to charge mobs numbering several thousand. The rioters stoned the police and troops.
 When Shank Hill was cleared the crowds gathered in the side streets. Altogether this was the worst rioting that has occurred since 1886. It was prolonged until midnight, and at this hour the city is still in a dangerous state of excitement.
 Over fifty policemen have been in- jured, and twenty-four have been taken to the hospitals with fractured skulls and severe scalp wounds
 Many civilians were injured in the charges, some dangerously. The milf tary are now in practical occupation of Shank Hill. It is feared that there will he a renewal of the riotinP

 by the American fleet the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon was sunk. The report is dated at Santiago, Saturday, June f. It states that yesterday (Fri- day) evening the American fleet re- opened fire on the batteries at Santiago. The firing continued from half-past 10 o'clock until half-past Il o'clock, but the result of the bombardment is not given. During the entire day the American fleet had a cruiser in front of the harbor. The correspondent who sent the report says he counted twenty American vessels on Friday. On Sat urday there were sixteen other vessels and these are believed to have brought arms and ammunition for use in the operations against the Spanish forces.

refuge on the foreign shipping.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press at Manila, under date of June 2, says:
 T have traversed the whole region Of lighting during the last three days, in spite of the prohibition. I found the Insurgents strongly posted at Ca loocan, eight miles north of Manila, and at Bacoor. the same distance south TO the east 1 found nothing in the way of 1nsurgent intrenchments. The Span iards hold the whole Pasig River (whlch flows into the bay immediately below the town of Manila) to the la goon. The two sections of the insur- gent forces signal their movements with fire balloons.
 TO the northward the rising is gen. eral and the Spaniards are few. The railway has been cut in several places and the English overseers have been warned off. To the southward there has been fierce fighting on the Zapote River, between Bacoor and Las Pinas.
 "The biggest battle of the present campaign was fought last Tuesday. The insurgents attacked on the left branch of Zapote, waded across amid ty- phoon, stormed the banks for several miles and carried the Spanish trenches with knives.
 Yesterday (June 1) they tried the right branch of the Zapote, but failed. The Spaniards employed artillery all day, but no casualties are reported. To- day there have been only ineffective skirmishes.
 "The country Is densely wooded and swampy. Both parties shoot aimless- ly. I got in the middle of the firing, but nobody was hurt. Nothing was visible in the tremendous fusillade, and believe nobody knew what he was shooting at. Both sides were 'duffers.' The insurgents, however, are excellent in melee. The Spaniards say they were victorious yesterday, but that they cannot follow up the victory and annihilate the rebels, because of the American warships at Cavite. More over, they say it is necessary to save their energies for the American troops. Meanwhile the vicinit-- of Manila Is an impenetrable network of ambuscades."

 A general bombardment of the Notifications began at 7:45 this morning. Fifteen minutes later the cannonading had grown ter rife.
 It is believed that all the bat tle-ships in the squadron are in the engagement. It is said that troops were landed during the bombardment of the forts at Aguadores, five miles east of Moro, and 1t is probable that they attacked the castle from the land side. It IS also probable that troops were landed near Socapa, on the west side.

 Yesterday Colonel Aldea, with a Spanish force, sustained a fire near Punta Cabrera from the in surgents on the land side and from the American warships.
