ON BOARD THE HERALD-CALL DISPATCH-BOAT, OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 10 (via Kingston, Ja- maica, June 10).—Rear-Admiral Samp- 8on is impatient at the delay in the ar- rival of troops at Guantanamo. The Spanish batterfes there were silenced on Tuesday with little difficulty, and several v s of the fleet are now pa- trolling there, presumably awaiting the arrival of the landing par One . of the men from the Herald-Call dispatch- boat landed at Guantanamo this morn- ing, but he saw no signs of either Span- iards or insurgents. The Marblehead was there on Wednesday with Captain nes Goodrell, who inspected sev- eral places suitable for making a land- ing in force. Ships of Admiral Samp- son’s fleet are now patrolling the shore between Santiago de Cuba and Guan- tanamo, a distance of about thirty miles. The battle-ship Oregon, Mar- blehead and Yankee have been detalled to hold the harbor at Gunantanamo. The masts and stack of the sunken collier Merrimac, in the entrance to the harbor of Santiago, have disappeared from view. The Spaniards are trying to destroy the wreck, but it is said to be constantly under the guns of the two big warships. Two guns fired at the fieet from the fortifications vesterday. A report has reached A¢ miral Sampson that the Vizcaya was sighted on the northern coast of Cuba, but the report is discredited. BOARD THE ASSOCIATED 3 BOAT WANDA, OFF SANTI- AGO, June § (via Kingston, Jamalica, June 10).—The navy awaits the army. The fighting ships of Rear-Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley have battered down the coast defenses of Southern Cuba and have sealed up Ad- | miral Cervera's fleet in the harbor of Bantiago de Cuba by sinking the col- ller Merrimac in the channel at its en- trance, which the guns of the fleet cover. Boats running under shadows of El Morro have cut the Ha tlan cables and now hold thirty-five miles of the coast east of Santiago de Cuba, including Guantanamo harbor. Under the cover of the guns of the fleet Eastern Cuba may be safely invested | by land and sea, Admiral - Cervara's fleet annihilated and the entire province WASHINGTON, June 10.—The Navy Depart- ment to-day posted the following bulletin: blehead, Commander McCalla, and the Yankee, Commander Brownson, to take possession of the outer bay of Guantanamo. gunboat into the harbor, and took possession of the were | the | OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?

It is spacious and has forty feet of water. The land approaches are not so pre- cipitous as at Santiago de Cuba. The | low-lying hilis can be easily reached | with trains of siege guns and there are | level roads to Santiazo thirty-three miles distant, where 2 few mountain | batteries, beyond the reach of the fleet, | will be taken to an eminence command- ing the city and the sSpanish ships. Guantanamo is an important place. It has six miles of water harbor and will be of great value to the United States army and navy as a supply | station, coallng depot and cable ter- minus. The Spaniards have but slight defense. Thelr batteries were sllenced | on Tuesday by the Marblehead in a few | minutes’ firing at 4000 yards. A small | Spanish gunboat ran away. The navy's work has been done well. Day and night ships patrol the thirty | miles of coast within easy gun range of | the shore. The officers and men are | ever ready and impatiently say,"What more can be done? We have opened | the way.

Possibly one detachment of | the army will land there, a second force may land west of El Morro, and a third body of troops at Guantanamo | | It is believed the city can be captured | within a few days and that Admiral Cervera will be compelled to fight. The destruction of the shore batteries now makes possible their occupation by troops, giving the American fleet an op- portunity to enter the harbor and re- move the mines at the entrance and strike a joint biow of the army and navy, involving the surrender of the Spanish troops in the eastern provinces, now practically all concentrated at Santiago de Cuba, and the surrender or destruction of - Admiral -Cervera's fine ships, which would necessarily have an important, if not controlling, influence in closing the war. It is with this view ‘that such close | watch is maintained to prevent the es- | | cape of the Spanish ships, and neces- | | sarily the presence of the soldiers is | | required to prevent the defeat of the | work thus far accomplished by the| navy.

FILIBUSTER OF OPPONENTS FINALLY THEY ARE PROMISED A FAIR DEBATE. So It Is Agreed to Argue the Propo- sition Until Next Wednesday, ‘When a Vote Will Be Taken. Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, June 10. The feature of the day's session of the House was the securing of an agreement to consider and vote upon the Newlands resolution to annex Ha- wail. Beginning to-morrow the debate | will proceed until 5 o'clock next Wed- | nesday afternoon, when a vote will be | taken. | The annexationists’ camp to-day de- termined to force consideration, and tered. Consideration of the resolutions to-day could have been prevented, as | would have | ing session necessarily | plain that the annexationists would win their victory to-morrow. Realiz- ing this, and knowing the resolutions | would pass and go to the country, in- | volving a prominent issue, the opposi- | tion treated for liberal debate, and their | demands were granted readily. | Eight Democrats voted with the an- | nexationists in the movement to-day to | force consideration of the resolutions, | they bein~ Berry of Kentucky, De Vries | of California, Livingston of Georgia, Brucker of Michigan, Cummings, Sul zer and Vehslage of New York, and Cochran of Missouri. It is clalmed at least twentw Democrats will favor | the passage of the resolutions. | The bill to enable volunteer soldiers | to vote at Congressional elections was' passed and a number of minor meas- ures, chiefly of a private nature, were conslidered. | The Lacey blll, providing for the par- ticipation of volunteer soldiers in Con- gressional elections, was called up when the House met to-day, it being the privi- | leged business under continuing order. Cummings (D.) of New York moved to | recommit the bill with instructions for the | committee to report it with an added pro- | vision extending the suffrage provision to members of the naval reserve. A rollcall | was taken, resulting in the defeat of lhe; motion to recommit—ayes 100 noes 120— | and the bill was then passed, 195 to 42. Maguire (D.) of California, from the | Elections Committee No. 2, then called up the report in the case of Willlam Ryan | against H. C. Brewster, from the Thirty: rst New York District. Grosvenor (R.) of Ohlo, pursuant of the | purpose of the Hawailan annexationists | to force to-day, if possible, the taking up | of the resolution immediately, raised the | question of consideration against the elec- | tion case. Upon a rising vote, the House decided not to take it up—aves 77, noes 7% —and Maguire demanded a rollcall! | Meantime, Cannon (R.) of Illinois, turn- ing to Grosvenor, inquired: *I want to ask the gentleman from Ohio If the rais- | ing of the quesllm; 1‘? conr_ifl‘ermlun means he bringing up o awali? o Taoes ” responded the Ohloan, with | much vigor. | The vote resulted ayes 92, noes 129, and | the hearing of the election case having | been refused, Ray (R.) of New York| called for the regular order, which, under | the rules, would be the private calendar. | Grosvenor moved to consider public | business. A vote was then taken and the | call was followed with much interest, the House realizing the result probably would | mean the consfderation of the Hawalian resolution. Grosvenor's motion prevailed, 140 to 88. The opposition to annexation then began to fillbuster, a rollcall being demanded upon the consideration of a _resolution calling upon the Secretary of War for names of civilians appointed to military office since April 24. The vote resulted in the defeat of the | opposition, and another rollcall had been | demanded upon another minor matter, | when, pending the call, order was brought out of chaos and an understand- ing was reported quickly whereby the House agreed to begin consideration of the Hawailan resolutions and debate them from day to day until 5 o’clock next Wednesday afternoon, when a vote shall be taken. The agreement was applauded. As soon as the Hawalian situation was cleared several private bills were passed, and also one fixing the status of volun- teer staff officers by placing them undeér the regular army. t 4:55 o’clock the House aajourned, having agreed unani- mously to-vacate the order for the even- ing pension session. EXPLOSION OF A TORPEDO. Causes the Death of Three Men and the Wounding of Lieut. Hart. CHICAGO, June 10.—A special to the News from Jacksonville, Fla., says: - A torpedo in the St. Johns River, at St. Johns Biuft,” elghteen :miles below Jack- sonville, exploded to-day, killing three men and badly wounding Lieutenant Hart of the United States engineer corps, in charge of the work of fortifying the river at that point.

TRY TO KILL A GUARD INCIPIENT RIOT WITHIN THE PRISON. Combat Between Prison Officers and Tnmates for the Possession of a Contraband Drug. ©® SAN QUENTIN, June 10.—A @© determined attempt to selze a large quantity of opivr~ smuggled into the prison nearly resulted in Guard 8. L. Randolph losing his life yesterday and caused wild excitement among the con- victs, almost resulting in a riot. Randolph was set upon by two burly prisoners in their cell. He was forced to his knees and an endeavor made to choke him. His cries for help called Guards King and Leake to the scene in time to prevent murder being com- mitted. y It is well known that the dangerous drug constantly passes the prison gates through the medium of visitors and trusties. Any one who has seen the farcical searching of these trusties can easily understand ,why the traffic flourishes as it does. For some time Randolph has been watching “Jack” Kane, a third-term burglar from San Francisco, and Joe Keyes, committed from Los Angeles for burglary. These men are cell-mates and are what is known as peddlers of the drug. Learn- ing that they had oplum in their cell Randolph slipped up quietly to unlock the door at the regular time. 6 o'clock in the morning. As the door swung [CIOXOIO] PEEEO®O® | open there lay the opium in small pack- ges scattered all around the cell. As moon as the prisoners saw Ran- dolph they grasped package after pack- age and began to hurl them into the yard. Randolph jumped inside and was immediately pounced upon by Kane, while Keyes kicked the guard’'s feet from under him. He went to his knees and Kane tried to ‘catch him by the throat. Randolph’s cries for help were heard by King and Leake, who ran to his assistance and overpowered the two enraged convicts. By this time many of the other pris- oners had c ngregated in the yard and were busily picking up the opium and concealing it on their persons. The rest of the guards tried to take it away from them and had about secured it all when the convicts in a body set upon the guards and tried to snatch the oplum from their Hands. They were bBeaten off and the opium, fifty-seven | packages in all, is now in possession of the prison authorities. Both Kane and Keyes weré confined in the dungeon and shackled to the walls. To-morrow their cases will be considered by the prison directors at the regular monthly meeting. Kane is in for fifteen years and will lose two years' credits; Kcyes is In for twelve yvears and will be deprived of eighteen months’ credits. NEVADA KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS IN SESSION S. J.

That | TRANSPORTS SAILING TO SANTIAG ‘ . . . . Report of Th eir Detention at Key West Only : a Ruse. . American Regula rs Will Land Near the Beleaguered City on Sunday. Call Office, Riggs House, Washington, June 10. | It is strongly suspected here to-night | that reports of the army transports be- | ing detained at Kev West for fear of Spain’s “phantom fleet” were indulged in by war and navy strategists for a | purpose. The signal corps instituted a most rigid censorship of press dis- it was effective s evidenced by the fact that Eastern papers this morn- ing print dispatches from these points dated June 6 (four days old). marked “Delayed in transmission.” Another evidence of the efficacy of this censor- ship is the fact that no one in Washing- ton to-night has positive knowledge of the whereabouts of the army trasports. It is beginning to dawn wupon the | press correspondents, however, that | they have been hoodwinked by the offi- | cials. It is generally believed here that | although some of the troop ships may | have been detained at Port Tampa and | Key West, the main body proceeded | toward Santiago, and that the alleged fear of the Spanish ‘“phantom fleet” was a ruse de guerre concocted in or- der to conceal the time our troops may be expected to arrive at Guantanamo | Bay and thus surprise the Spauiards. | If the main flotilla of troopships pro- | ceeded to Cuba without delay they may be expected to arrive at their destina- tion on Sunday. A high official of the | Navy Department to-night confessed | ;h]at no fear of Spanish ships was | elt. “We have no idea that there is a single Spanish ship off the northern or western coast of Cuba. The precaution | of holding the expedition at Kev West briefly was part of the original plan.” The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press (Postmaster-Gen- fral Smith’s paper) telegraphs as fol- ows: 2 “A report that the President had or- dered the transports to be detained at Key West because of the appearance of a Spanish squadron eighty miles from Havana was incorrect. The President has issued mo such order.” The report of a squadron of Spanish ships, consisting of a battle-ship, two cruisers and a torpedo-boat, having been seen on Tuesday night eighiy miles west of Havana, sailing in the direction of that port, is not credited here. The auxiliary gunboat, which is reported to have seen these ships, did | not report that they were Spanish ves- sels. The Spanish Government has only one battle-ship, the Pelayo, which is at Cadiz, and is not likely to attempt to cross the ocean. As that battle-ship was at Cadiz three days ago it is im- possible that there could be any Span- ish battle-ship in Cuban waters. The whole story is very fishy. But if the yarn is true the United States has an ample fleet about Ha- vana to take care of any such squad- ron as that. The battle-ship Indiana, the four monitors—the Terror, the Am- phitrite, the Puritan and the Mianto- nomoh—and the cruisers Detroit and Montgomery, to say nothing of the aux- iliary boats forming the blockading fleet, would be more than a match for any fleet the Spanish could send to Havana. | Snodgrass, who i ing that an expedition will go to Porto Rico very soon.
