He 10 Said to BE Prepared to Make a Dash
Out of Santiago Harbor IL OPP
portunity Presents.

New YORK, June ga special dis
patch from Santiago de Cuba, June
20, via Kingston, Jamaica, says that
Cubans have brought imforma-
ton to Admiral Sampson that
Admiral Cervera is prepared to
make desperate effort to take his
ships out of Santiago harbor at the
first favorable opportunity. The Span
ish warships, it is reported, have been
coaled to their full capacity, and the

many places, none was probable except
at Aserraderos, whence it is possible
to move toward Santiago. 1t would be
easier to land at Buiquiri, but the
mountains are so rugged between the
iron wharf and Santiago that it would
be well nigh impossible to move to the
city.
Aguaderos is near shoal water, but a
landing could be made there, only that
it is as yet in Spanish hands. and the
road which leads from there to Santa
go is well defended. The probability
is that the landing will be made at
Aserraderos, as the line from there to
Santiago is fairly well patroled by Car
cia's forces
Two detachments of troops landed at
Sagua to join forces with Gen. Costello,
and late last night men were being
landed near Aserraderos to strengthen
the Cuban forces, which hold the pass
The troops are all well, and the chief
physician of Gen. Garcia's staff says
there is no danger of yellow fever, as it
is not in the vicinity of Santiago.
1t is expected that the landing of
troops will continue from now on un-
abated, and that it will be accom-
plished by Friday at the latest.

Consolidation Rumored.

Salt Lake. Oct. 22.-ft is stated here
that the expected reorganization OF the
Union Pacific, the Oregon Short Line
and the Oregon Railway & Navigation
companies will have the effect of con
solidating the Short Line n the Ore
gon Railway & Navigation concern into
one system to be operated from Port
land. Ore. Inquiry at the general Offices
OF the Short Line brought out the state
ment that this Is what a been ex-
pected all along by the officials of the
road.
One who In well posted in the secrets
of the Union Pacific said hat the ru-
NOR was well founded and made the
further statement hat in less than one
year the same combination would con-
troll the Central Pacific railroad as well.
and that the meetings in this city and
that the election OF the Union Pacific
officials on the Short Line board were
only the beginning of the working out
of a design that will be ~far-reaching i'm
its effect.

~embodying them are ready for introduc-
ton In the reichstag Immediately after
that body convenes. The army bill not
only provides for a slight increase In
the peace effective footing. but IL also
provides for reorganization of the field
artillery and the completion OF the teie-
graph and railroad equipment. The bill
win INVOLVE ar increase OF some 10000
900 marks yearly. besides an immediate
outlay OF a large amount.
The primary elections for members OF
the diet have been ixed for Oct. "a
md the final elections will take place
a week later. The parties are split In
a manner which makes IL impossible
to predict the result. except that sweep
ing changes In the composition OF the
house are probable. and the conserva-
tives having agrarian and anti-Ameri-
can leanings are very likely TO form a
majority. The election will be held I'M
der the old reactionary three-class law.
Among It's curiosities this time Is the
fact that nearly all the Prussian min
listers. including Prince Hohenlohe. the
imperial chancellor, will vote In the
lowest class. the second and third
classes being composed OF wealthy cor
porations and ~financiers.
The large estate at Cadinne has been
presented to Emperor william by For
mer District Councillor Bihkener, and X
was formally accepted by the emperor
this week, with the result that the dis
trict chamber at Elbing has sent the
emperor n telegram Of thanks. as II Is
expected the district will be largely
benefited by the change In ownership.
The estate lies midway between Elbing
and Tolkmit. In the province OF East
Prussia. adjoining an inlet OF the Baltic
called Frischeshaf. II covers about
5000 acres, Is beautifully wooded and
full of large game. but IL has been
somewhat neglected. The value OF the
estate Is estimated at 1,2oo. 900 marks:
