Captain-General Blanco baa cabled the government that Admiral Sampson ban issued an ultimatum to tbe Spanish 'forces in Cuba that they must evacuate all ports on tbe island within 48 hours under penally of every Cuban port being' bombarded, and asks for instructions.

Washington, July 9.

Inquiry at the departments concerning Samp- son's ultimatum fails to elicit any in formation. Officials refuse to confirm or deny 'the report that Sampson has been ordered to make any demand upon Blanco. ORDERED TO VAN- CO TJVER BARRACKS Disappointment to the Soldiers of Battery A. Portland, July 9. There were a lot of long faces among tbe men who comprise battery A when they were informed that they were assigned to quarters at Vancouver barracks in stead of being ordered direct to San Francisco and from there to the Philippines with the next expedition.

However, they cheerfully accepted the inevitable and left today for Vancouver where they will be quartered uutil ordered to the Philippines. Capt. Greenleaf's men had expected to be given an opportunity to engage in active service at once, and it was a sore disapointment to then that they should be huddled into tbe barracks at Vancouver there to await orders.

The Mason re form administration, after being in only a week, is being severely criti cized by the people. More saloons are violating the 1 o'clock closing ordi nance than ever before, all the Chinese lotteries are running full blast. there are as many disreputable dance houses as ever, and the festive nickel' in-the-slot machine is found smiling in every gin mill. It Is understood that the blackmail collected from saloon-keepers, so that they can violate the closing ordinance, has been increased, the price charged for the big slot machines remains at $5 per week, and it is to be presumed the other violations of the law are winked at for a well-establlsbed fee, Of course these matters are not pressed home to the people by the dally papers here. It is not to the In' terest of these sheets to disclose tbe fact that the "reform" administration is as much on the "graft" as its prede cessors.

THE OLD EMPLOYES Of the fire department, removed by Mayor Pennoyer, after being out for two years, are practically all in line again. It is somewhat singular that only a very few of them obtained very steady employment during their en forced abstinence from public pap. Either times were very bad, indeed, or they possessed no qualifications for successful private undertakings. It Is safe to wager that those who have been removed now will hibernate for the next two years, living on the hope that their "push" will again win. It is a very sad matter to contemplate that after the average citizen has bad a public position, no matter how subordinate, he Is practically unfitted for any other work.

Brier Notes. The Oregon Press Association will meet at Spokane j'lntly with the Washington Association on August nrntrinrf 25th, 26th and 27th. It is understood that means are being taken to have the Idaho and Montana newspapermen to also attend. The Oregon Industrial Exposition will hold its annual meeting In this city, opening on September 22d, and continuing for thirty days. Tbe management is already actively at work to make it a very successful exhibition.

A BAD OUTLOOK IN SPAIN Destruction of Cervera's Fleet Liable to Precipitate a Revolution. London, July 8. A special dispatch from Madrid says all Spain knows of Cervera's defeat, and the people are begining to realize magnitude of the disaster. The conservative press exhorts good citizens to maintain peace. An important circular has been sent to all republican organization signed by the leardera, bearing the motto "Prepare." In the meantime extraordinary military precautions have been taken to quell internal troubles.

General Cor-rea, the minister of war, Is working day and nlyht. A second call has been Issued for tbe Canary island reserves, and additional forces of home infantry and cavalry are being raised while the artillery is being augmented by two pieces to each battery. The Peninsula armies will total up 220,000 men by July 15. Talk of Intervention. LONDON, England, July 8.

Dispatches from the Continental capitals still talk of European intervention in the Hispano- American war. France is being represented as taking the initiative, and Germany and the other powers are deolining to interfere. By way of France comes a rumor that Senor Moret is advocating that Spain should sue for peace, "because It is ridiculous even to suppose that she could tire the United States," and because -'Spain can only expect fresh defeatx, placing her in a worse position than ever." Victims of Santiago. Siboney, July 8.

Washington. July 11. The de- pat tment I in receipt of dispatches from Admiral Sampson that he has re newed tbe bombardment of Santiago, and started a brisk fire from his ships against the forts this morning.

He has been able to strengthen his Dositionl and is inform thal the Spanish ia becoming I uemurauzeu. The rank and file 'of the army Is be coming discouraged. Being illy sup plied with provisions the men have little heart to continue hostilities.

Blanco Opposes ttarrender. New York, July 10. A Herald dis patch from Havana says: The Ameri cans have again demanded the sur render of Havana, fixing the terms ol truce until noon today. General Toral has refused the proposition, say ing he will not surrender as long as he is able to fight. General Blanco ap proves Toral's course.

The war department has determined to not hold Admiral Cervera under servllance but to let him go on his own recogni zance, with the understanding that he Is not to take active purt in the pres ent war.

How He Sunk the Merrimac How He Surrendered. and Following Is Lelutenant Hobson's account of the darrlng deed he per formed at the enterance of Santiago harbor. "I did not miss the entrance to the harbor," he said "as Ensign Powell, In the launch, supposed. I headed east until I got my bearings, and then made for It, straight in. 'Then came the Brine.

It was grand, flashing out from one side, then the other, from those big guns on the hills, the Vlzcaya' lying inside the harbor, joining in. "Troops from Santiago had rushed down when the news of the Merrimac's coming was telegraphed, and soldiers lined the foot of tbe cliffs, firing wildly across and killing each other with their crossfire. "The Merrimac's steering gear broke as she got to h-strella point. Only three of the torpedoes on her side ex ploded when I touched tbe bottom. A hugh submarine mine caught her full amidships, and hurling water high in the air aDd tearing a great rent in the Merrimac's side.

Her stern ran up on Estrella point. "Chiefly owing to the work done by the mine, she began to sink slowly. At that time she was across the channel, before she settled the tide drifted her around. "We were all aft, lying on the deck. Shells and bullets whletled around us.

The six-inch shells from the Vizcaya came tearing into the Merrimac, crash ing into wood and iron and passing clear through, while the pludglng shots from the forts broke through her decks. 'Not a man must I said, and it was only owing to the splendid discipline of the men that all of us were not killed, as shells sailed over us and Routes became hours of susp ense, I The men's mouths crew narched. but The men's mouths grew parched, but we must lie there till daylight, I told them. Now and again one or the other of the men lying with his face glued to the deck: and wondering whether the next shell would come our way, would say, 'Hadn't we better drop off now, But I said, Walt till It would have been impossible to get the catamaran any where but to the shore, where the soldiers stood shooting and i honed that by daylight we might be recognized and saved. The graud old Merrimac kept sink ing.

I wanted to go foi ward and see the damage done there, where nearly all the fire was directed, but one man said that if I rose it would draw the fire on tbe rest; so I lay motionless. It was splendid the way those men behaved. The fire of the soldiers, the batteries and the Vlzcaya was awful. 'When the water came up on the Merrimac's decks tbe catamaran floated amid the wreckage, but was still made fast to tbe boom, and we caught hold of the edge and clung on, our head.4 being above water. One man thoguht we were safer right there; it wa3 quite light, the firing had ceased, except that on the New York's launch, and I feared En sign Poweu and Lis men had been killed.

"A Spanish launch came toward the Merrimac. We agreed to capture her and run. Just as she came close, the Spaniards saw us, and half a dozen marines jumped up and pointed their rifles at out beads. 'Is there any officer in that boat to receive a sui render of prisoners of war? I shouted. An old man leaned over under the awning and waved his hand.

It was Admiral Cervera. The marines lowered their rifles, and we ware help ed into the launch. "Then we were put In cells In Morro castle. Afterwards we were takea into Santiago. I had the court-martial room in the barracks.

My men were kept prisoners in the hospital." CAPTURED SPANISH OFFIEKS List of Those Taken With Admiral Cervera's Ships. Portsmouth, N. July 11. Tbe following are the captured officers brought by the St. Louis.

Portland, July 12. One of the most prominent republican leaders of the state is credited with the state ment that some dark horse will be elected C. S. senator. In his ewn words be said, "Mr.

Corbett is the logical candidate for U. S. senator, but under no circumstances can he coutrol more than 40 votes. There will be no binding caucus excepting upon terms that will eliminate all ac. tive candidates and especially Mr.

Corbett. There will be no deadlock. The opponents of Mr. Corbett will vote for such republicans as George H. Williams, Binger Hermann, Stephen A.

Lowell or Governor-elect Geer. As soon as it is seen that Mr. Corbett can not be elected, but practically that any other republican can be, the pres sure of the people for an early settlement of the question will be so great as to sweep all before It. "Ex-senator Mitchell will not be an ctlve figure In the fight. Be fully realizes that his personal enemies have control of the state machinery.

"Joseph Simon will secure such legislation as he desires for the city of Portland, including of course bis long-wished-for board of public works, but he will not succeed in electing Mr. Corbett to the senate."
