RATHER DUBIOUS.
Reported Attempt to Enter Fort
Philip.


ATLANTA, Ga, June 9.-An attemnt
was made on the night of May 20 to
enter the magazine at Fort Philip. on
the Mississippi, sixty miles below New
orleans. In endeavoring to apprehend
the two culprfts the sentinel who chal-
lenged them was struck on the head
by bar Of iron in the hands of hid
den ally and seriously injured. The
news of the affair id not become
known until today.
At about 2:30 o'clock on the morning
of May 29 the sentinel on the parapet of
the Tenth battery heard a suspicious
noise in the direction of the magazine.
and on creeping up to the house saw
two men trying to force the locks. He
challenged them but they ran, and, al
though fired at managed to escape. one
OF the men sendinga shot throughthe
Sentry's sleeve as he left. The sentinel
pursued the two men, and as he near
ed the steps leading to the landing
third man stepped out and struck him
with bar Of iron, telling him to the
ground. The guards aroused by the
shooting, came upon the scene hastily,
but the three men escaped in a boat
down the river.

have been so extremely reticent about
the landing of troops on Cuban soil, do
not hesitate to say that the splendid
oooy OF 500 marines, under command
or Lieut.. Col. Huntington, who drilled
at Key West, and while there evoked
much favorable comment on their
splendid appearance and clever evolu-
lions, are on Cuban ground, and near
santiago, at that. When Col. Hunt
lngton's force went to Key West 1t was
understood here that the marines were
intended for distribution among ships
composing the fleets of Admiral Samp-
son and Commodore Schley. That was
an error. however, for from the very
outset, it is now stated in official quar-
ters, that splendid body of men
were intended for more trying work
They were to be and are being used as
a landing force, and with these sea-
soned men in command of the beach,
covered by the guns of the fleets, there
will be little difficulty experienced in
landing the troops now on the way to
Santiago. The marines have already
done splendid service, aided by the in
surgent forces.
PORTO RICO NEXT.
1t is stated that force of $4,000 men
will be sent to Porto Rico as soon as
the necessary preparations are COM
plete. Gen. Coppinger will be IN COM
mand and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee will be
second to Gen. Coppinger. Off1cials0do
not hesitate to say that Fernandina,
Fla, will be the point from which
the Porto Rico expedition will depart,
and admit that the force which will in
wade that Spanish possession will num-
Der not less than $4,000 men. Gen.
Coppinger is at Tampa in command of
the troops left over from the Santiago
expedition. Gen. Lee is at Jacksonville.
and has in his charge ct that point full
ly 10000 men. The Tampa contingent
will, therefore. number $1,000, unless
troops from other points are selected
for the Porto Rico expedition. Gems.
Coppinger and Lee will move their
forces to Fernandina at an early date.
There are already a number of trans
ports there, and the vessels that have
gone to Santiago will return t. Fer
nandina as quickly as possible to 3ake
the American invading army from
there to Porto Rico. At least that is
the programme as learned today from
a reliable source. This means that the
active work Of the war is fully inaugur-
ated. Operations by the land forces of
the United States will have a telling
effect, and it is expected that, without
unforeseen reverses, the Stars and
Stripes will soon be floating over Span
ish strongholds in Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines. Tonight 1t is Civ
en- out that the troops at Mobile, under
Gen. Schwan, will be ordered to Fer
nandina to join the Porto Rico expedi-
ton. This will make it possible to, if
deemed advisable, leave a small force
at Tampa for contingent purposes.

SPANIARDS WARNED.

Admiral Sampson is determined that
the work for which Lieut. Hobson stalk
ed his life shall not be undone, and
upon the first suspicion that the Span
iards are endeavoring to raise or blow
up the wreck Of the Merrimac, which
now bars the entrance to the prison
of the Spanish fleet, the batteries and
forts will be bombarded and reduced to
luins. Neither will he permit any more
guns to be mounted on the batteries
which command the entrance. In the
event of bombardment, Morro Castle
alone probably will escape. Built of
stone, it could not more withstand the
proJectiles of the heavy guns of the
fleet than pine boards could resist the
impact of Krag -Jorgensen bullet It's
walls would crumb.e like mortar if our
guns were directed against it. But it
is now an inviolate fortress, because
it holds the heroes Of the Merrimac

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Satur-
day, June 4, via Kingston, Jamaica,
Monday, June 6.-Every effort is being
made to cut off Santiago de Cuba s
connection with the outside world, and
1t is believed that within forty-eight
hours there will be a practical accom-
plishment of this desire.
Since Sunday last, when Commodore
Schley found Admiral Cerveras fleet
quietly trying to leave the harbor and
headed off the attempt, thus practic-
ally solving the war problem, it has
been the policy to surround the city
and harbor so that no assistance in
the way of arms or ammunition could
reach there
After driving the Spanish fleet into
a more protected position in the harbor
by the bombardment Of Tuesday, Com
modore Schley opened communications
with the insurgents eighteen miles
from Santiago to the east.
MAP SECURED.
Friday afternoon Lieut. Sharp, of the
vixen, received from the insurgents a.
map or the harbor, showing the entire
cape Verde fleet, with the exception
or the destroyer Terror, inside and
close up to the city, under the protec-
ton of the guns mounted on Blanco
battery at the northern extremity Of
the harbor.
The. ships there, according to this
chart, are the Cristobal Colon the Viz
caya, the Almirante Oquendo, the Ma
ria Teresa and the Reina Mercedes

SPAIN SUES FOR PEACE
ACTIVE STEPS TAKEN TO END
THE CONFLICT

Augustf Instructed to Make the Rest
Terms He Can With Dewey,ana in
the Meantime the Madrid Author
tiles Will Make Another Appeal
to the Powers for Aid in Making
Settlement.
LONDON, June 10.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
There is now little doubt that Spain,
seeing the hopelessness of further con-
tinuing the war, is approaching the
powers with a view of obtaining an
honorable peace. The cabinet council
today finally authorized Duke ArTnodo-
var de Rio to expedite diplomatic ac-
tion, and in consequence the duke Is
now comforting with certain ambassa-
dors and ministers in Madrid
instructions have been telegra phed
to the Spanish minister in Vienna and
orders likewise given to Senor Aguera,
the under secretary of state, to pro-
ceed at once to the Austrian capital.
Spain is unquestionably looking to Aus
tria for assistance in her Distress
Probably Capt. Gen. Augusti will be
ordered to make the best terms he can
with Admiral Dewey"

Just how long Santiago can stand
besieging is a matter of conjecture
Three weeks ago it was claimed at
Jamaica that food in Santiago was
very poor, and that it was also very
scant. The country about the city is
unproductive and mountainous, and
the 1nsurgent camps are so close that
there is little or no communication be-
tween the city and it's environments.
The railway system is not carried to a
distance much more than ten miles
from the town.
One important fact was learned to-
day from the insurgents on shore with
whom communication had been opened
up. There are not 10000 soldiers, as
has been stated in this part of the
province of Santiago de Cuba, but only
about 5000. These are badly fed and
much disheartened. It had been the
intention to send the cruiser Marble
head and the cable steamer east to
Guantanamo to cut the cable at that
point, word having been brought that
the Spanish fleet evidently was in COM
munication with Madrid. The ships

densome to those who could least af-
ford to bear it. He attacked the pro
vision concerning mixed flour as un-
constitutional, because 1t interfered
with state perogatives, and was in
tended not to raise revenue, but to
destroy an industry, something which
congress had no constitutional power to
tax.
A severe attack on the failure of the
war to bring relief to the suffering
people in Cuba was injected into the
debate by Mr.. Pierce Oem., N. c..
After referring to the pleas of human
ity that were made when the Cuban
resolution was under discussion, he at
tackled the failure of the movements
to relieve the distress in Cuba, which
largely precipitated hostilities.
Where are now the starving wom
en- and children to whom our warships
were to take other ships laden with
food?" cried Mr.. Pierce. "They are all
dead, member says, and that is true.
All that will greet our soldiers and sal
lors when they land on Cuban soil. as
suggested by another will be the

Further digression from the bill was

into one of aggression, by which this
country should hold great colonial pos
sessions. The contention that the

was vicious, and opposed to the major

tackled the bond provisions and the to-

GROSVENOR ANGRY.
Mr.. Swanson took occasion to criti-
else the administration in it's conduct
of the war. The speech brought from
Mr.. Grosvenor (Rep., o. an impass:on-
ed and highly sensational response.
Rapt attention followed the first
words Of his utterance
Had Sagasta, had Blanco, had Ger
vera been given the opportunity to
make speech on this occasion" he
exclaimed, "they would not have made
so incendiary an appeal against the
prosecution of this war as the gentle
man from Virginia has uttered. I de-
nounce his unpatriotic purposes. I de-
nounce his unpatriot:c and untruthful
Gtterances."
Continuing, Mr.. Grosvenor was Bit
terly personal in = his declarations.
charging the Virginia member with be-
ing servile to narrow political motives.
He would starve the soldiers of the
Union, while he would prattle a little
about liberty said Mr.. Grosvenor, and
further along he declared it was not
possible to frame speech containing
more hostility to the government and
more antagonistic to the people than
the speech of the gentleman from ~Vir-
ginia.'' Il
Following the Gresvenor-Swanson
episode, several members addressed the
house, the speeches being brief and con-
fined on the Republican side chiefly to
the coinage feature.
Mr.. Hall Rep., Conr.l, Henderson
Rep., fo.), Moody (Repg Mass.), Payne
fRep., N. " and McMi1lin Dem.,

Mr.. Hall declared he would vote
against the bill because of the coinage
provision embodying, as he believed, a
giving Of some new life to the silver
issue. ~
