Owing to the bad weather, the opera-tion was. .' postponed i until "yesterday,when the warships for three hours bom-

While waiting in Subig bay for bet-

lowed.! At 7:20 the Monterey openedBre with her secondary and main bat-

teries; the Charleston and Concord join-ing immediately. At 7:30 the insur-

' The Amerioan bombarding then be-

came generaL." At 9:30 the Montereyadvanced to a range of 600 yards, nsingher main battery. Two hundred andfifty men were landed about 800 yardseast of the cannon at 11 o'clock, undera severe Mauser fire. .

tained from the Spaniards rMean whilethe warships continued to shell theshelving beach on the east and westtide to silence the insurgent fire uponthe sailors from the trenches skirtingthe beach.

rrannport Leelennw- - Kept Afloat byWorking Her foinps Steadily.

San Francisco, Sept. 26. The UnitedStates transport Leelenaw came intoport today with the pumps steadily atwork to overcome the effect of a holein the ship's bottom. The Leelenawsailed for Manila September 2, witha cargo of commissary stores and 200horses for army use. After leaving thisport distemper was developed amongthe horses, and so many of the animalsdied that the Leelenaw put into Hono-

lulu and landed there the commissarystorse and the surviving horses. Thetransport .then started on the returntrip to tlis city. - ; ; . :''

During the three days prior to reach-

ing this port, so thick and constant wasthe fog that no observations 'could betaken, and, having lost her bearings,the Leelenaw struck a reef hear Mon-

tana, 20 miles south of this port, lastevening.

' She' was for five hours stuckfast on the rocks, and when she finallyfloated off at high tide it was found thatthe jagged rock had torn a hole in herbottom. "'''"'.'" ':l '..

It will be necessary for the Leelenawto go in drydock for a considerableoverhauling. In addition to the leak,the vessel was badly strained by herexperience oh the reef.

which belonged to the mill company.The fire was caused by a dust explo-

sion near the cleaners on the third floorof the mill, and it spread rapidly.The insurance oh the mill company'sbuildings and machinery,' which arealmost a total loss1 is about $60,000,while their value is placed at about$75,000. Only about 30,000 bushelsof the stored grain was insured, so theloss to the owners is great. Consider-able of the grain not damaged by water,it is thought,' can be cleaned and soldfor about half price, and the mill com-

pany will take immediate steps to saveall that possibly can be saved. ' --

The mill, which "was run as an independent concern by men interestedin the Portland flouring mills, mayhever be rebuilt, as the Portland Flour-

ing Mills Company owns another millin Salem. The fire was one of thlargest ever seen in Salem. ,

"Canada "Tjannot possibly take partin the celebration of Dewey's triumphswithout evidence of discourtesy" towardSpain, a . friendly nation, which hasdone Canada no wrong. .

Kansas City, Sept. 25. A dispatchto the Journal from Wichita, Kan.,says: -- r-. -

Jerry Simpson washooted off the platform here this even-

ing while addressing a local G. A. R.reunion. : Mr. Simpson said t .

""I glory in the spunk of Aguinaldo'smen. They are simply fighting to re-

gain the land the Catholics took fromthem. A local paper has asked: 'Whois John Brown's soul marching withOtis or Aguinaldo?J I believe JohnBrown's soul is marching with Agtti-naldo- ."

f.- .:; v. r:f

Mr. Sipmson" said in substance ' thathe would rather be with Aguinaldothan with General Otis. An old sol-

dier in the audience rose and said? (thatthe speech was drifting too much intopolitics. This was applauded andgreeted with cries of "Throw him out!"and."Kick Simpson off the platforml"Men and women arose and hissed", andthe men kept crying, "Put him out!". Simpson appealed to the crowd to sitdown. "I am coming to my perora-- .

tion," he said, although he had beenspeaking only 15 minutes. Cries came,"Take your peroration to Aguinaldo."

Simpson attempted to go on, but noone could hear him 10 feet away.

' Theband struck up "The Star SpangledBanner," and Mr. Simpson left theplatform;" His retirement was greetedwith prolonged cheers.
