Coyote Bounties-
From the Phoenix Republican J

trrnm tne TuoeniN AepuoANa""'
A man from the country was in town yesterday
inquiring what bounty il any. was paid for coy
ote scalns He said he had one and knew where
he could get enough more to start him on the
road to fortune. He was told by an attorney
that there was no bounty, which Is an error,
though not one man in fifty knows it.
Early in the sixteenth legislature bill was
passed providing for the payment Of bounties for
killing certain wild animals The coyote. how
ever, was not included in the fatal list Later in
the session another bill passed in which
the coyote was taken in and the bounty was fyed
at 50 cents This bin become law wit'out the
governors signature The same law allows .
b.inty Of cents head on jack rabbits. In
the same session L. H. Chalmers at the request
of several farmers introduced a bill making it .
penal offense to kill covote: It was widely dis
cussed. at first unfavorahly. but the more it was
talked about the. mo-e meritorious it seemed. The
only argument in favor Of il was that the coyote
was useful in keeping the destructive Jack rabbit
population within proper bounds. which much
more than offset occasional ravages by the coy
ote upon Hocks Of chickens.
Notwithstanding the apparent beneficial char
acter Of the bill 1t was defeated purely on ac-
count Of the coyotes worldwide reputation for
cussedness

Lieutenant Whitney and Edward
Emerson, Alias Emershon, Have
Been to Porto Rico.
SAN JUAN Is EASY PREY
Spanish Troops in Porto Rico Sicky and Discon-
acknowledgements Likely to Deliver the Island
if American Troops Don't Hurry Up

New York, June s.-Lieutenant Henry
II. Whitney, Fourth United States in
fantry. who has twice penetrated into the
very heart of Spanish territory, once in
Cuba. and lastly in Porto Rico. arrived
here today on the British steamer Ardan-
dose from Porto Rico. Through him the
war department will soon be an possession
Of important and accurate information
concerning the military strength and de-

and the PREPARATIONS the commanders had
made 10 resist occupation by the Ameri-

Lieutenant Whitney made the trip with
great expedition. He found 5000 volun-
teer troops and 400 regulars in and about
Ponce. The soldiers were sickly, however.
and disconnected for lack of pay.
Food he found to be scarce. and that
fact. combined with the American senti-
ment pervading the towns. inclined him
TO the belief that If the United States
troops did not invest the island within a
month the inhabitants would turn upon
the Spaniards and drive them out

AMERICANS "REPUtSED"

Madrid. June SO a. m.-Dispatches re-
ceived here from Spanish sources say:
1.-THE Americans were repulsed at the
last bombardlnent Of Santiago de Cuba"
Continuing, these reports assert that
the damage done to the batteries and
town sis unimpOrtant," or is already re-
paired, adding:
1.-THE Spanish guns did not cease to fire
an instant during the fight, and all the
batteries are in condition to reply to the
enemys fire During the second attack
Colonel Ordonez was on board the Reind
Mercedes and personally assisted in work
ing her guns. Every one regards Colonel
Ordonez and General Linares as the he
roes of the day"
According to official Spanish advices re-
ceived here, the exact loss of the Span
iards at Santiago de Cuba on Monday is
as follows: Land forces, one soldier kill
ed and five officers wounded, including
Colonel Ordonez. slightly wounded; sea
forces. the second officer in command of
the Reina Mercedes, five sailors and TWEEN
ty-nine marines killed and an officer and
eleven sailors wounded
The official dispatches also say that
many Of the wounded, including Colonel
Ordonez. are able to attend to their du-
ties.
It is announced here that the Spanish
steamer has run the blockade of Man

surfing the various heads OF Departments
that his agency was not engaged in work
ing for Spain. The fact that his people
had been employed 20 make iuvest:ga-
tons in connection with the nlibusteriag
expeditions before the present war broke
out. and the necessarily Intimate relations
that had existed between the agency and
the Spanish representatives IN this coun-
try. led 70 belief In some directions
that he had continued IN Spanish employ
after hosulities began. and it was for ,as
purpose OF explaining the exact attitude
OF his agency and OF expressing his low
atty TO the government. Il Is SAID. that

SAMPSON AND HIS REPORT

Washington, June 8-No further word
from Admiral Sampson was received al
the navy department. The bulletin made
public by the department last night in
confirmation of the reports of the attack
upon Santiago last Monday, was believed
to be merely skeleton statement of Adj
miral SIMPSONS telegram. which, 1t was
surmised, contained a good deal more in
formation than it was deemed prudent TO
make public. Of course to protect the
naval cipher the matter published was a
paraphrase and It was said at the de-
partment this morning that the term
used, ''silenced the works quickly without
injury at any time" was based upon a
statement in the original dispatch broad
enough to indicate that the ships had
sustained no injuries and that there mad
been no injuries among the personnel of
the American feet.
Naval officers expressed the belief today
that all the force landed Monday from
SIMPSONS feet were marines and that
their purpose was not so much 20 take
military possession Of the landing as per-
maps TO spike some guns and destroy some
batteries that might have been reoccupied
by the Spaniards to advantage after the
retirement of the American fleet.
One object Of Animal SIMPSONS attack
which had escaped general observation,
though exceedingly important. was point
ed out at the navy department. This was
to prevent the Spaniards making a sue
cessful attempt to remove the obstruction
of the channel caused by the wreck Of the
Merrimac. Having silenced the forts at
the entrance Of the harbor, which. while
effective, obliged the American feet to
lie many miles out at sea to keep out
OF range Of their guns. Sampson would
now be able TO place one or more Of his
ships close to the mouth of the bottle
where it would lie in comparative safety
and yet be able to command easily with
the guns the wreck Of the Merrimac.

Al the navy department considerable
indignation is felt at the report Of Can
