Such a great prize does the Oregon constitute, such a great weight will she have when the oppos- ing navies are placed in the balance scales, that it should be apprehended in official circles that the policy of the Cape Verde fleet would be to lie in wait for the vessel and destroy her by su- periority of numbers.

BOTH MAY DEPART SOON. SOME DOUBT AS TO THEIR DES- TINATION. Despite the Spanish Press Asser- tions, It Is Not Likely They Will Go to the Phil ippines. Copyrighted, 1898, by James Gordon Bennett. MADRID, May 22.—With the incom- ing of the new government the greatest impetus has been given to activity in the navy yards, and, it may be added, to home defenses. Torpedoes have been laid at the entrance of all important harbors. The new Ministry has deter- mined to send out at once what is| known as a reserve squadron—that is to say, the armed warship Pelayo, the protected cruisers Carlos and Alfonso XIII, the coast defense ship Victoria, the torpedo destroyers Audaz, Pro- serpina and Destructor, the dispatch boat Giraldi, the dispatch boats Rapido and Patria and the armed traas- Atlantic liners Joaquin de Pelago, Al- fonso XII, Antonio Lopez, Ciudad de | Cadiz and Buenos Ayres. To these will | be added the Reina Cristina, which is | being armed in Ferrol, and the Leon | X111, which has already started from | Barcelona for Cadiz. This fleet is likely to start at once, | and it.is publicly stated that it is go- ing to Manila. Significant suggestions are made as to the possibility of the Pelayo getting through the Suez Canal, owing to her draught, but it may be readily understood that the Admiralty is not giving its secrets away and that the fleet will sail under sealed orders, and that it is quite as likely to go west as east. GIBRALTAR, May 22.—The Governor here will not allow war vessels pass- ing the straits to be reported. The Spaniards are preparing what | they call their third squadron, which | will consist of the Princesa de Asturias, | of 7000 tons, and with a speed of twenty | knots, now at Cadiz; the Cardinal Cis- neros at Ferrol, of the same size and | speed; the Lehanto at Cartagena, of 5000 tons and a speed of twenty knots, and the Numancia and Victoria, the latter of which is being newly armored and engined. There are also at lferrol the torpedo- gunboats Dona Maria de Moling, Marquis de la Victoria ana Don Alvaro de Bazan, each of 800 tons and twenty knots speed. | Unless the American Government | moves quickly it will have the foregoing to contend with in addition to Admiral | Cervera’'s and Admiral Camara's | squadrons. | The latter is expected to | His | nknown. but is probably | notwithstanding that it is the Philippines. destination is u the Antilles, newspapers THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF WHEAT SUBMERGED.

It Is estimated that 3000 or 4000 acres of wheat is submerged and it will probably be a total loss.

BAKERSFIELD, May 22.—The Repub- llcans of this city met last night and completed the organization of a club in accordance with the State League. J. W. Wiley was elected president and C. L. McGee secretary. It was named the Kern County Republican Club. A. C. Maude was chosen to attend the meeting of the State League in San Francisco. Kern City Republicans orgahized a club Friday night, with James Curran presi- dent and W. V. Mattlack secretary. It was christened the Dewey Republican Club of Kern. Both clubs start with a strong membership. Denied by the Turks.

The Pelayo is well armored and manned. | The Carlos V is well armed and manned | and has good guns, Lut her heavy ones forward will not swing, owing to a de- fect in the machinery and can be fired only directly ahead. The captains of these boats are good men and experienced, but Admiral Ca- mara Is regarded by naval men as dif- ficult to work with, giving orders and | contradictng them almost in the same breath. He is from Malaga. It is sald here that there are mines in Manila harbor that were not ex- ploded when the American fleet en- tered, electric communication being out of order. This has, it is reported, now been rectified and preparations are complete to give Admiral Dewey a lwarm ;sr(;lod—by should he attempt to eave. e rumor will bea Qo ar a big lump I hear that the Spanish fleet left St. Vincent without instructions from the Government at Madrid, and that Ad- miral Cervera wired: “The state of my country compels me to go to meet the enemy.” The captains of the Vizcaya. Almi- rante Oquendo and Maria Teresa are excellent commanders. The ships are all in good shape and powerful, being heavily armored and well handled. The Cristobal Colon has no heavy guns, and therefore is not formidable, but all four of them are of 7000 tons each and can steam twenty to twenty-one knots. They are the ships our navy has most to fear. The Spaniards are preparing two steamers, the ..ormannia and Colum- bia, now the ‘Rapido and Unatria, to take on heavy guns. If they strengthen the ships properly the work will require several months. The cruiser Alfonso XIIT will remain in Cadiz as a guardship, but as her boilers are jnsufficient she cannot steam more than six to seven knots, and therefore is not of much use. I feel certain that there are fifty mines well laid in the Bay of Cadiz. B'NAI B'RITH DELEGATES MEET AT FORT WAYNE. Annual Session of the Second Dis- trict, Comprising Middle and Western States. FORT WAYNE, Ind., May 22.—The In- dependent Order of B'nal B'rith of the second district, began its annual session here to-day. Nearly 100 delegates are present from the district, which com- prises Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico. The report of the asylum in Cleveland, in which 500 or 600 orphans are cared for, shows that there has not been a death in the institution for three years. The committee on propaganda reported new lodges in St. Louis, Louisville, Den- ver and other places, Bernard Freeman of Cincinnati was elected trustee of the endowment fund for five years, and Louis Levy of St. Louis was elected trus- tee of the Orphans’ Home at Cleveland. — - SINKING A SHAFT TO REACH THE BODIES.

Those in direct eontrol of affairs insist that climatic conditions will have to be ignored and they can see no other reason for further delay. Owing to a change in the plans re- garding the number of troops that were to constitute the invading army, the administration was obliged to put off a combined attack on Havana until the volunteer army could be thoroughly or- ammunition. These preparations have now nearly reached the point of com- pletion, and it is confidently expected will be made before the end of the week. I am told that a few weeks ago had only 10,000,000 rounds of cartridges at its disposal. This amount of am- army, would be insufficient to carry on a long campaign. At the present time, however, the army is well supplied with both arms and ammunition. It is believed in the Na Depart- ment that Admiral Cervera’s fleet will be either completely destroyed or driven away from Cuban waters within the | next week. Secretary Alger, going on this theory, is making every prepara- tion to have about 70,000 men ready to leave Key West for Cuba upon short notice.

The greatest secrecy is to be main- tained in the War Department when 1t |is decided. to make a move against Cuba. The Government wishes to feel assured that the first intimation that Spain will have of troops leaving Key | West will be when General Blanco sees | Americans on Cuban soil. I know that ‘Sevretary Alger and Secretary Long | have agreed in regard to the convoys | that will accompany the transports carrying troops. The advocates of delay are still using all their powers to get President Mec- Kinley to put off the invasion until fall, but with very little success. 1 was told by a prominent army officer who has spent several years in Cuba that the fright in regard to yvellow fever has been greatly exaggerated. He says that with the arrangements made by the medical department there will be very little danger of yellow fever be- coming epidemic am the troops. The ncipal difficulty in delaying the invasion until late in June would be the impas: ility of roads for cav- alry and artillery. This was pointed | out by Lieutenant Rowan in his report | to the Secretary of War.

EGUABDS SAVE TEE LIFE OF ONE OF THE MEN. Prevent His Antagonist From Hurl- ing Him From a Bealcony to the Flagstones Below. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN QUENTIN, May 22.—Within the walls of the prison te-day there oc- curred a combat in which two convicts fought each other until the floor of their cell was rendered slippery with blood. Interference by the guards at a critical moment saved the life of one of the combatants, just as his infuriated opponent was in the act of hurling him over the balcony to the stone flagging below. The convicts were F. Devine, Liverpool, a burglar, Los Angeles, gnd J. Edwards, doing seven years, from San Francisco. Both men occupied cell 14. The fight began at 6:30 o'clock this morning over the possession of a pillow. The men went at it teoth and nail. alias committed from | Any article that could be grasped was | used as a weapon. The conflict was waged for fully twenty-five minutes. When the breakfast bell rang and the cells were unlocked the men were cov- ered with blood. The fight was stopped and the convicts made to emerge. As they stepped upon the balcony De- vine picked up a piece of heavy hoop iron, and, gripping it with both hands, struck Edwards a crushing blow on the head. The heavy iron inflicted a gash four inches long and felled Edwards to his knees. Rising quickly Edwards sprang at Devine, grasped him by the throat and threw him half way over the railing surrounding the balcony, at | the same time endeavoring to kick the | struggling convict's hands loose from their hold on the railing. The fall | would surely have killed Devine, but at this juncture the guards seized both | men and placed them in straight jack- | ets. After their wounds had been | dressed the combatants were taken to the dungeon and shackeled to their cells, where they will remain at least thirty days and then be punished fur- ther after the next meeting of the Prison Directors.
