The Oreron yolunteers.

Washington, May Sit seems to be
a foregone conclusion that in case Com
modore Dewey should call for troops
in the Philippine islands, the regi-
ments raised in Oregon and Washing
ton, and perhaps California, would be
sent to the Asiatic islands. There is
also talk here that the naval militia of
the Pacific coast. if it is enlisted in
any considerable numbers, will be
placed upon auxiliary cruisers and
sent to the Philippines. Nothing
has been decided upon regarding the
movement OF Oregon and Washington
troops. but under present conditions
they are likely to be held until it is de-
termined whether they will be needed
on the islands.

Delayed Neutrality Decree Until After
Dewey's Victory.
Washington, May 5.-The procla-
nation directed against the Spanish
residents of the United States by the
state department has not yet been is
sued, but it is certain that it will be
issued; probably expanding upon the
course pursued by the Spanish govern
ment in their treatment Of American
citizens
China issued her neutrality procla-
nation today. SO there is no place left
on the Asiatic coast open to the free
use of the war vessels of either Spain
or the United States. This is rather
remarkable, in that it marks the first
action Of this kind on the part OF Chi
ma, which has never before issued q
neutrality proclamation. and the naval
officers are duly grateful for the con-
sideration shown by the Chinese gov
eminent in Withholding the issue of
the decree until informed that the
Americans had secured base in the
Philippine islands.

THE CUBAN CAMPAIGN.
Force WIN Land In .
Short limo.


Washington, May 5.-The plans for
the Cuban campaign are being steadily
developed and there is no indication of
change of purpose on the part of the
military authorities. who are expected
to land an expeditionary force in Cuba
in very short time.
Admiral Sampson, so far as the navy
department knows, Is steadily main
tanning the blockade of the Cuban
coast. and this is not likely to be ADAM
doned for the present. though two or
three of his ships may be sent away
temporarily to meet the Oregon on her
way from Rio Janeiro. The officials
naturally feel an interest in this race
of the magnificent battle-ship around
the continent. They profess to feel lit
tie anxiety over the outcome, notwith-
standing report of the effort of the
Spanish squadron to cut off the Oregon.
The vessel sailed from Rio on course
known only to the captain, and the
chances of her being overtaken on the
high seas are very small. Even should
the Spanish vessels fall in with her, it
is by no means certain, notwithstanding
their numbers, that she would be de-
feated by the combined Spanish force.
as her magnificent armor and ordnance
are superior in every respect to the
Spanish ships.

Key West, May 5.-The Spanish
mail steamer Argonaut, Captain Lage,
the news of the capture of which was
telegraphed yesterday, was conveyed
into Key West harbor by the United
States cruiser Marhlehead this after
noon. It appears that Colonel Vim
cente de CosteJo, of the Spanish cav
airy, who, with 10 other army officers
was taken on the prize, is brother-in-
law of Lieutenant-G General Valeriano
Weyler. Colonel Costello denies this,
but it is learned from good authority
that he sustains this relationship to the
former governor general Of Cuba. Col
onel Costello and the other officers were
transferred to the Ambrosio Bolivar,
another trophy of the war.
The Argonaut herself is no mean
prize, being of l, 900 tons, but the value
of the capture lies mainly in the pris-
oners of war and the mail matter going
to General Blanco. Her cargo is gen.
eral merchandise, with large quantity
of ammunition and supplies for the
Spanish troops in Cuba.

pated no opposition, and If necessary

Outbreaks Reported I'm Man y Provinces
Troops Fire on the Rioters.


Outbreaks Reported in Many Provinces
Troops Fire on the Rioters.
Madrid. May 6.-The outbreaks in
the provinces are assuming alarming
proportions, This Is especially the
case in the province Of Gijon, on the
Bay of Biscay, where the troops have
been compelled to fire on the rioters in
'self-defense. !" The latest news from
Gijon is that the artillery has been or
dered out. The fisherwomen are TAX
ing the most active part in tie disturb
ances, which are due to the DEAFNESS of
provisions and the opposition of the
people to the octrio tax. All the bread
at Gijon is baked at the military de-
pots, as the rioters are threatening to
pillage the regular bakeries. All the
stores are closed, and business is about
suspended.
At Talavera de la Reina, one of the
Jesuit religious houses has been
burned. It is asserted that these riots
arise from hunger rather than from po-
litical motives. The rioters attacked
and seized the railroad station, burned
the cars and then set fire to several
private houses and cafe. After that,
the rioters tried to break into the
prison and release the convicts, but
were prevented by the civil guards.
Many persons were arrested.
The authorities have proclaimed
martial law in the province of Valen-
cha.
Riots have occurred at Caceros, but
they are said to have been suppressed.
The miners around Ovideo, capital
of the province of that name, have
struck work, and disorders are feared.
Reinforcements of troops have been
hurried to Ovideo.
At Caceres, the capital of Estrema-
dura. the populace marched into the
railway station to prevent the export
of provisions, and overpowered the SOL
diers on guard, capturing IA tons of
wheat -four.
All Valencia is in state of seige.
At Catalan, the rioters captured. the
mayor and town councillors and de-
manded a ransom. On the mayor; pro-
testing, he was shot through the leg,
after which the gendarmes dispersed
the mob.
At Talavera, the rioters were most
determined, sacking many bakeries and
setting fire to several government
buildings.
In the town Of Aguila. in the prov
ince of Murcia. a mob, mostly women,
burned the storehouses and Offices.
The fisherwomen who broke out
against the octroi duties at Gijon re-
ceived the most determined assistance
from the tobacco girls. Together they
sacked several bakeries and burned all
the octrio offices with all the papers
belonging to the foreign ships loading
in the harbor. The civic guard was
holly stoned at the prison, and the
rioters marched off with the iron bars
of the Jail. When the troops appeared,
they were stoned, replying with fire
and wounding many. The mob then
walked to the government buildings
and smashed the windows. The troops
again fred, this time from the bal
comics, and wounded many. but the
women kept on throwing stones. The
Jesuit house was attacked because it
was supposed grain was stored there.
The troubles seem to increase.

few years he drifted back to the reser-
walton and sunk to the level Of COM
