The MitchelIites Reatan

The republican primaries in all f,rl
Pendleton precincts resulted in the de.
feat OF so.called Mitchell republicans by
eN,called Mckinley republicans, says the
East Oregonian. The fight was an ex
ceedingly warm one throughout the
entire day. and considerable rancor was
apparent between the leaders and work
ers of the different factions. Every
available man went voluntarily or was
induced to go to the polls, which ex
plains the extraordinarily large vote
a total of 401 in the city. Charges are
made that several persons who had net
heretofore been recognized as republic
ans were allowed to vote.

WASHINGTON, July 16.AThe off,
Gals OF the war department have in
stituted inquiries into the sanitary con-
dltlon OF the various military camps
In Florida, with a view to: the removal
of the troops to more salubrious places
in case it be found advisable to do so.
In view of the reported appearance of
suspicious cases of fever among the
troops at Tampa, the secretary of war
has telegraphed Gen. Coppinger. in
command of that military district. to
make full report of the sanitary con.
ditions there. In case of necessity the
troops will be Immediately transferred
to Chickamauga, or some other camp
in a more northern latitude, probably
Newport News, Va.
According to a report just received
at the war department from Maj. Gen.
Lee, commanding the troops at Jack
sonville, there is no occasion for any
change from sanitary standpoint. He
says that the camp at Jacksonville Is
In excellent condition with plenty Of
water and all the requisites for a camp.

TO EMBARK AT CHARLESTON.

Probable Starting Point of the Por-
to Rico Expedition.
WASHINGTON, July 18-Maj. Gen.
Brooke, commanding the troops at
Chickamauga, was in conference sew
eral times today with Secretary Alger.
The two went over to the White house,
where questions relating presumably
to the proposed Porto Rico expedition
were discussed for some time. Secre-
tary Alger and Gen. Brooke declined
absolutely to make any statement re-
garding the subject
In other quarters, however, there are
evidences that Indicate activity in the
direction of preparation for a prompt
forward movement. For instance, steps
are being taken to ascertain and deter
mine to the entire satisfaction Of the
war department officials the most
available points on the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts from which to embark
large numbers of men. Maj. Gen. Will
son, now at Charleston with a brigade
Of soldiers, has expressed the opinion
that that place offers the best harbor
facilities for embarkation between
there and New Orleans. The depth Of
the water at low tide is slightly over
twenty feet, while at Savannah it Is
about seventeen and at Farnandina,
Fla, the captains of the vessels say
they cannot get into the harbor. Gen.
Wilson has dispatched an officer to
Newport News to look into the question
Of shipping facilities, harbor, camp
grounds and water supply at that
place, which seems to indicate that
the department is considering the
question of sending some troops there
for embarkation.

French Consul Intercedes for SUBJ
jects Now at Guantanamo.
PLAYA DEL ESTE. Guantanamo
Bay, July 16-A steam launch from
the Spanish gunboat Sandoval came
down the bay this afternoon flying the
French flag. The French consul at
Guantanamo was on board as was also
the Spanish bishop Of the Catholic
church at Guantanamo. They held a
conference with Commander McCalla
relative to the removal Of INDECENT
French subjects from Guantanamo to
the French cruiser now in the harbor.
Their request was refused until the
number Of persons to be removed was
definitely known.
The French consul said that there
mad been absolutely no communication
at Guantanamo with the outside world
since June Z. He was greatly surprised
to hear Of the destruction of Admiral
Cervera's fleet, and the surrender of
Santiago. The latter news and the
terms of the surrender, involving the
Guantanamo forces will be commune
Gated to the Spaniards at once.
"A launch from the cruiser Marble
head while scouting along the west
shore of the bay this afternoon near
the mouth Of Guantanamo river was
fired upon by a squad of Spanish pick

ious to post up on the situation before
the actual campaign is inaugurated.
He will decide upon the best landing
point, and, together with Admiral
Sampson, agree upon how the feet
shall cooperate in the reduction of the
only real Spanish stronghold there
San Juan. Admiral Sampson, who has
had some experience on the coast of
Porto Rico, is said to be of the opin-
ion that no very formidable opposition
will be encountered. The port of San
Juan is far easier of access than was
that Of Santiago, and: after the ships
have thrown in a few shells the Span
ish commandment at San Juan will, 1t
is believed, recognize the sfutility of en-
deavoring to prevent the American
forces from taking possession.
WATSON's TASK.
Admiral Sampson has made requisl-
tiUn on the ordnance department for
a large supply of ammunition for the
fleet. Most Of this will be turned over
to Commodore Watson, who, when he
sails for the coast OF Spain, will carry

had been decimated by men falling
from exhaustion. Before they had re-
turned to camp, some companies lost
half Of their men. Some Of the men
are seriously sick, as consequence of
the march. Nineteen Of them are in
the city hospital, and several of these
are thought to be in critical condi-
ton. The trouble seems to be that the
men have been kept on travelling ra-
lions for over a week. Before starting
on their tramp, they had breakfast,
consisting Of bareback, coffee and
canned tomatoes. There was not suf-
hcient food to sustain them through
the task set for them.

1t was given out here today that prepa-

was ct the White house today and had
a prolonged conference with the presi-
dent and members Of the cabinet. In

said to have added that the soldiers
there could be ready for the forward
movement within two, weeks, at the

THAT HARVARD MUTINY.
Span1ards Wanted to Get at Massa-
chusetts' Regiment Stores.


PORTSMOUTH, N. H, July 16.-Re-
garding the mutiny which occurred ON
board the Harvard just before she sail
ed from Santiago, 1t has been learned
that the Spaniards wanted to get at
the stores Of the Ninth Massachusetts
regiment, which went to Santiago on
board the Harvard. Part Of the troops
had been landed, but a detail had been
left to guard the stores and ammuni-
ton.
1t Is not clear whether the prisoners
actually made break for the stores,
or whether they SIMPLY threatened to
do so. but there was a clash between
the Spaniards and the Massachusetts
men In the face of a marine guard, who
had the prisoners in charge. The cap
tain Of the guard, on seeing the dam
ger Of an outbreak, ordered his men to
fire, and the marines obeyed, killing
six and wounding a dozen prisoners.
The last large load of Spaniards from
the Harvard was landed just before
o'clock.

SENDING SPANIARDS HOME.
Secretary Ayers new bureau Of
transportation is about to be tested as
to it's ability to handle business in an
emergency. It Is known as the bureau
of transportation, and is in charge Of
Col. Heicker, who has already given
evidence of possessing rare executive
ability. He has valuable assistant
In Col. Bird, of the quartermaster's
department, which really has charge Of
all government matters appertaining to
transportation. It is said to be the ex-
pressed opinion Of Coils. Heicker and
Bird that the problem of sending home
the Spanish prisoners taken at Santiago
Will be solved in. such a way as to
prove satisfactory to the government
and all parties concerned. The task is
undoubtedly one Of stupendous proper
lions, but the officers Of the United
States military and naval departments
have fully demonstrated their ability
to arise to the needs Of almost any oc-
casion.
RECOGNITION OF CUBANS.
One of the problems that is giving
the government considerable concern
just now is what sort of recognition
shall be accorded the Cubans who as
sisted in the reduction of Santiago. It
has been proposed that they be permit
ted to practically govern at that point
after the Spanish prisoners have been
sent away. This would, Of course, mean
that they are to remain under the d.
rection OF American military authori-
ties. The government Is anxious to get
the troops out Of Santiago province as
soon as possible, and 1t is argued that
the Cubans cannot be better utilized
than in garrison duty at the captured
Spanish stronghold. It Is a foregone
conclusion In official circles that the
Cubans will be restricted In whatever
they do to What Is directed by the
authorities of the United States.
