REPORT NOT
FULLY CONFIRMED.
Key West is Celebrating the Supposed
Victory.

KEY WEST, June Reports from
the supposed bombardment of San
tiago are only meager, but it is pretty
well authenticated that battle has
been fought at Santiago, and that
Commodore Schley has reduced Moro
castle, at the entrance of the harbor,
also that one American vessel was
disabled in the engagement. No Off
cial account of the battle has been re-
ceived from Commodore Schley, but
the report of the victory is generally
credited as authentic.
1t has caused great excitement here
and general rejoicing.
Spanish residents at Santiago are
reported to be fleeing to the interior
to get out of dangers reach.

4. S. BENNETT FOR SENATOR

1t now seems likely, from the re-
ports all over the state, that the union
forces will have the next legislature.
In that event we suggest the name of
our fellow townsman, Alfred S. Ben
nett, for United States senator. 1t is
hoped by his friends that Mr.. Brig
ham and Mr.. Morse may be elected, as
two representatives from his own
county will greatly strengthen his
chances.

Cervera's Escape Considered Clever
Trick.

NEW YORK. June 3.-A Madrid
special to the journal says Spanish
newspapers are rejoicing over the
trick played by Cervera on the Amer
leans by leading them to believe he
was inside Santiago harbor, while he
was sailing toward the Philippines.
His course is highly commended by
the government.

the harbor at Santiago is credited
here. and il is feared the Spanish feet

LONDON, June 2.-The Madrid cor.
respondent of the Post says:
Senior Leony Castillo, Spanish am
bassador to France, at his conference
with the queen and Senor Sagasta,
was officially charged to ask the
powers to intervene to obtain peace on
such terms as would protect the amour
propre of Spain. The ambassador
will urge as reason for such inter-
vention the danger of loss of trade
to the powers themselves, in the event
of the continuance of the war. Polit-
ical and diplomatic circles in Madrid
believe that Castillo will succeed.

that Schley entered Santiago harbor

when he got inside the harbor what
he sought had flown. Cervera's fleet
was not there, hence the expected

stares the people of Oregon in the face.
An examination of the report of the
state board of equalization for six
years, beginning with 1892, shows the
total value of personal property is
gradually decreasing within the state.
During these years we have had the
sacred gold standard all the time, and
if this decrease continues another six
years it will be reduced almost TO
nothing. View the following figures
taken from the tax rolls showing the
amount of personal property each

NEW YORK, June 3.-The Tribune
gives out the statement that the Amer

at 9 o'clock this morning. All of
Schlev's feet and a portion of Samp-

No particulars of the battle have been

While the value OF our property has
gradually decreased. there has been
no cutting down in expenses, but in
stead they have steadily increased. We
therefore need relief from some SER
vice, and it certainly will not come
from the republican and gold standard
sources. The only hope of the people
rests in the success of the union forces,
who nos only demand the restoration
of silver, but general reform in the
administration of state and county
affairs. If the union forces fail at the
polls next Monday, Oregon will again
be turned over to q combination of
boodlers who are in politics for spoils,
politicians who turned down the more
honest element of their party to foist
taxeaters into power.

Volunteers WILL BE
RAPIDLY CONCENTRATED.
Subsistence VIII BE Easier and Then
They Must BE Properly Equip
ped and Drilled.

WAsHfEGToN, May 16.-AfteE going
over the situation with General Miles,
Adiutant General Corbin and the heads
of the supply departments, the secre-
tary Of war made an order for the as
Segment Of volunteer troops now being
mustered into the service of the United
States and designated points where
they will assemble with the least posi-
BILE delay. This step was rendered
necessary from the fact that the state
authorities are very fast relinquishing
control of troops that are passing over
the muster line under the authority of
the general government. 1t became
necessary to assemble those troops at
once IN order to meet the problem of
their subsistence, no less than that of
their equipment i'll the way of arms,
clothing, camp and garrison equipage,
to say nothing of the superior advantage
OF drill and instruction under trained
officers.
The number mustered in by Saturday
night was about 80, 900.
Among those ordered to Chickamauga
are:
Maryland, one regiment infantry.
OHIO, four regiments infantry, four
batteries light artillery, eight troops
cavalry.
Pennsylvania, seven regiments in
fantry, three batteries light artillery.

Spain's Hopeless Bankruptcy.

Spanish 4 per cent bonds have
made new low record. They sank
on Saturday to 293 cents on the dol
lar.
American per cents have con-
tinued to rise and are now worth
from $1.214 to 1921 in the open
market
That is to say, Spanish promise
to pay 500 in gold, with 4 per cent
interest, is worth $29.50, while an
American promise to pay 500 in
gold, with A per cent interest, is
worth S122.50.
These figures measure the judg
ment of shrewd financiers as to the
propects of the two countries in the
war now pending, and as to their re
spective ability to make war.
Some other figures strengthen the
eontrast-for it cannot be called a
comparison.
In September, 1895, when the Gu
ban war began, gold was at II per
cent premium in Spain. Now it is
at lis per cent premium, while in
this country there is a strong ten
dency to a premium upon the ma
tional paper money for the sake of
it's superior convenience, it's value
being precisely the same as that of
gold.
Again the Spanish Cuban bonds
for $124,O00O0O represented a gold
value OF only $3S,000,000 on April
%, and represent now less than $50
100000.
The Spanish external A per cents
are promises to pay 1894, 100000 in
gold. Their present gold value is
only $12l, 100000.
Why should not Spain quit? Why
prolong an agony that can have no
end except in chaos and black night?
Why should bankrupt nation,
whose credit is done for and whose
resources are nothing, recklessly
persist in a contest that if prolonged
must end in her destruction?
If SPANS friends in Europe are
sincere, if they desire that Spain
shall remain even as "Reminiscences

MADRID, May 16.-Spain is not
pleased with the utterances on the SUBJ
ject of the possibility of an alliance be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
The Spanish ambassador at London,
Count Rascon, telegraphed an extract
of the recent speech of Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, the British secretary of
state for the colonies, at Birmingham
on Friday evening last to Senior Gullon,
the minister for foreian affairs. The
Spanish ministers were to discuss it at
their meeting today.
Spain, it is said upon good authority,
will draw the attention of the powers to
the transcendeny Of the suggested An
! glo-American alliance with respect to
European interests.
The Spanish newspapers and the poll
ticians here of all classes discuss Mr..
Chamberlain's speech most angrily.
They consider it to be sequel to the
Marquis of Sahsbury's warnings to
Spain, whose dominions, it seems, are
to be absorbed by strong enemies.

KEY WEST, May 16.-The steamer
Gussie has returned here after an IN
successful attempt to land a consign-
ment of rifles in Cuba, intended for the
use of the insurgents. Her commander,
who appeared to be much crestfallen at
his failure to accomplish the mission
entrusted to him, refused to discuss the
matter, beyond admitting his failure
and saying the Gussie will return to
Tampa. Fla. Captain Dorst, U. S. A.,
said it was due to the failure of the in
surgents to connect, evidently owing co

Previous to leaving Cuban waters, the
Dorst expeditionary force had skirmish
with Spanish cavalry near Cabanas, al
ready noted in these dispatches. Later
Captain Dorst abandoned the attempt at
that point and steamed eastward to

shore, when the rattle of musketry from
a considerable force of Spanish soldiers
concealed behind underbrush ashore,
warned them not to try it.

cruisers Maria Teresa, Vizcaya, Almi
rante Oquendo and Cristobal Colon and
torpedoboat destroyers Pluton and Ter

urday morning, were still here Sunday.
Only the Maria Teresa and the Viz
caya were admitted to the port. They
bought coal, provisions and medicines.
The other warships were OUTSIDE wait
ing
KEY VETS, May 16.-It is apparent
that an important strategic movement
is being planned. Commodore Watson
arrived on the gunboat Dolphin from
the blockading fleet off Havana. Or
ders came thick and fast from Wash
ington, and the naval station authorities
were instructed to make quick prepara-
lions to coal the big ships. 1t is thought
that there will be no occasion to begin
coaling before tomorrow or Wednesday.
The ships already in the harbor have
been ordered to get up steam without
delay, but the officers say they are
ignorant of what this may indicate.
The announcement from the north of
the coming of the flying squadron
strengthens the theory held here that a
united movement of some kind is con-
templated. The chief factor in the
situation is the whereabouts of the
Spanish fleet, understood to be off the
Venezuelan coast. 1t is conceded by
naval men that were Corvera's squadron
to meet the detached blockading SQUAD
ron off Cuba while SIMPSONS ships
were coaling here, disastrous blow
might be inflicted and it is believed the
plan now under consideration is to OBJ
viate any such possibility.
Extraordinary precautions are being
taken for the protection of Key West
harbor, although the rumor lately cir
culated here that the Spanish fleet is
heading this way is secuted by the
officials.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-In one respect
the meneuver of the Spanish fleet is
relief to naval officers here, as it seems
to assure the safety of the battleship
Oregon. She is proceeding from the
north coast of South America to join
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet, and is some

Had the Spanish squadron remained at
