Flu fo a Combined Lad and Naval Attack em Baiaaa Maw Complete. New York, April !, A Times Washington special says: The plans for the joint land and naval attack upon Havana have been practically decided upon. They have been the subject of deliberation at a number of meetings s)( the naval strategic board, of councils of the joint war and navy board, and ot conferences between the governmental and military officials. From the hret it was considered ab solutely essential that there should be a joint movement of land and naval forces ot the united States against the Spaniards in Cuba, and the only thing left tor discussion was the best coursu to be pursued in carrying out this plan. One difficulty that has continually pie Rented itself is the fact that the navy is ready for an advance on Havana within an hour after the declaration ot war,- while the army could not possibly throw any considerable foroe into Cuba in less than 48 hours. Should the fleet of Captain Sampson wait until the army is ready? has been asked, or should it as soon as war was determined upon, proceed to carry out its instruc tions and invest Havana from the sea? It is now decided that the fleet will at once move on Havana, invest it, and at the same time hold open the Florida Bt raits for the free transportation of troops in the island. A pait of the fleet will be employed for this purpose as well as to keep open the gulf to the west of Havana for a like purpose. As soon as the army is ready, wbioh will be within 43 hours, a considerable body of troops will be thrown into the province of Pinar del Rio, in the neigh borhood, probably, of Bahia Honda, and an advmoe upon Havana will be begun at once. The fleet will co-oper- ate with the land forces from the mo ment they land in Cuba, and both will attack Havana simultaneously. Even if the resolution finally passed by con gress does not recognize the present Republican govrenment in the island, the plan of the army is to nnite with the armies of ttomez and Garcia as allies against the Spaniards. ' It is probable that troops will be sent to join these revolutionary armies in Puerto Principe or Santa Clara, or that ships will be Eent to transport some of the Cuban troops to the vicinity of the capital. , In any event an effort will be made to co-operate at once with the armies of the revolutionary leaders in the work of driving the Spaniards out of the island. With the establishment of a stable and independent government in free Cuba the army will have nothing to do. at least with the preliminary part of the campaign. Its task is to sweep the Spaniards out ot the island. To do this most effectively it will at once seek the closest alliance with the revol utionary troops. The war department is certain that Gomes and Garcia have respectable armies in the eastern part of the island. This conclusion is based pon the fact that they have been able to bold back the Spanish arms, and even to win notauie vie tones against some of the best officers of Spain. These revolutionary troops, aided by some American regulars and supplied with arms and ammunition, will be able, it is thought, to do. very effective work against the soldiers nnder Blanco and Pando. THE FLYING SQUADRON. Will Bo Stationed Within Easy Striking Distance of Porto Klco. New York, April 16, "Proceed to southern drill grounds for maneuvers and target practice, to continue for a period of 24 hours, upon the expiration of which return to Hampton Roads. DirecWMitineapolis and Columbia to undergo speed trials." In effect, savs the W ashington corre- spondent of the Herald, these are the instructions telegraphed to Uommoaore Schley, commander of the flying squad ron, yesterday, which caused him to leave his anchorage off Fortress Monroe at 2 o'clock Wednesday and proceed to sea. It can be authoritatively stated that Commodore Schley had no other instructions. Should it be deemed ad visable while he is at sea to direct him to a better strategic point than Hamp ton Roads, or should war come, in structions will be sent to him by one of the vessels now lying at Norfolk or Hampton Roads. The authorities are desirous of sta tioning the flying squadron at a better strategic point than Hampton Roads, It is understood that the squadron will proceed first to Porto Rico and thence to European waters, and it is there fore considered a wise plan to put the ships, as near Porto Rico as possible, in order that no time may be lost alter hostilities have commenced. There has been some talk of having the ships drop down as far south as Port Royal, but this would not be any great gain in the distance saved, snd the officials have therefore considered the advisability of having the vessels go to the Bermudas or St. Thomas. No action, however, as yet has been taken, ' Spanish Parliament to Beopen. Madrid, April 16. A cabinet coun oil, at which the queen regent presided was held this afternoon.

"We. the Republican voters of the state of Oregon, in convention aasem bled, congratulate the people of the state as well as of the whole nation on the unmistakable fact that the dark cloud of adversity, which has hung like pall over our fair land, has been dia- si patch We recognize that the return ot prosperity is due to the restoration of the Republican paity to power. We are in favor of the maintenance of the present gold standard; we are unqualifiedly opposed to the free coin age of silver and to all other schemes looking to the debasement of the cur- rency and the repudiation of debt. We believe that the best money in the world is none too good to be assured by the government to the laborer as the fmit of his toil and to the farmer as the price of his crop. We condemn the continued agitation for free silver as calculated to jeopardise the prosperity of the country and to shake the conn dence of the people in the maintenance of a wise financial policy; we particu larly condemn as unpatuoticthe efforts ot the free-silver agitators to array class against class and section ftrunst tec ion; we declare that the interests ot all classes and of all sections of our country alike demand a sound and stable financial system. "While we deplore the imminence of war, we recognize that the country is on the eve of war, undertaken for the vindication of the national honor and the performance of a work diotated by every instinct of humanity; we declare that the administration is entitled in this conflict to the confidence and sup port of the entire people. "We are firmly attached to the prin ciples of the federal constitution; we recognize that representative govern ment is one of these principles, and we are opposed to any change in law or constitution which will abrogate this time-honored principle. We are in favor of retrenchment and reform in state and county matters. "We demand strict economy in pub lic affairs, and the abolition of all need less offices and commissions. The salmon fishing industry, so fruitful a source of revenue to the state, should be fostered, and to that end we favor state aid in the artificial propa gation of salmon, and their distribu tion in the waters of this state. We affirm onr allegiance to the principles of the Republican party of the United States, as enunciated by the' Repnblican convention in Bt. Louis in 1896. "We denounce the fusion party of Oregon as an aggregation of spoilsmen, who are ready to subordinate principles to offices. Each of the parties to this compact is willing to stultify itself and form alliances with elements which it has heretofore denounced as dangerous and unfit to be intrusted with power; we declare that good government can not come from such an alliance."

Nomlaate State OWcers National rut- x form of 18v Adopted. The Prohibition party ot Oregon held its state convention in Kewherg Wednesday. The number ot delegates present waa somewhat smaller than ex pected. Interesting sessions were held aud much enthusiasm was manifested. ine louowing nominations were made: Representatives First district, L. H. Peterson, ot Woodburu; second district, C. W. Ingalls. Governor H. M. Clinton, of Port land. Secretary of state H. C. Davis of Halsey. State treasurer Moses Botaw, of Ncwberg. Superintendent of public instruction B. E. Einerick, of Philomath. Supreme judge T. E. Hackerinan, of Albany. Attorney-general T, J. Bright, of Wasco. State printer M. P. Marquam, of Forest Grove. The national platform, which was adopted, follows: "The prohibition party, in national convention assembled, declares its conviction that the manufacture, ex portation, importation and sale of al coholic beverages has produced such social, commercial, industrial and po litical wrongs, and is now so threaten ing the perpetuity of all our social aud political institutions that the suppres sion of the same by a national party, organized therefor, is the greatest ob ject to be accomplished by the voters ot oni country, and is of such import ance that it of right ought to control the political aotion of all our patriotio citizens until such suppression is ac complished. The urgency of this cause ; demands the union without further de lay ot all citizens who desire the pro hibition of the liquor truffle; therefore, "Resolved, That we favor the legal prohibition, by state and national leg islation, of the manufacture, importa tion, exportation and interstate trans portation and sale of alcohol io bever ages; that wa declare our purpose to organize and unite all the friends of prohibition into one party, and in order to accomplish this, end, we deem it but right to leave every prohibitionist the freedom of his own convictions upon all other political questions, and trust our representatives to take such aoticn upon other political questions as the change occasioned by prohibition, and the welfare of the whole people shall demand." BIGGEST FIND OF ALL. A Great Mine Nssr Susanvllle, Grant County. W. P. Mount, of Susan vi lie, arrived in Canyon City Wednesday, having iu his possession some of the richest and most beautiful free gold quarts speci mens ever seen in this country, taken from his recent discovery, the Sky scraper mine. The specimens exhibited were of the pretty white quartz variety, almost identically the same as taken from the Vitrnemine, near Baker City, and came nearer Deing nuggets than "I have known for several months I past that the Skyscraper would, if suffi ciently developed, become a bullion-! producer of no mean importance, said Mr. Mount, "but the past week has shown it to be perhaps the richest mine on the coast Even prior to the finding ot the extremely rich body of ore uncov ered a few days ago, the normal and continuous wealth of the ledge was re garded by practical mining men as phenomenal, the returns from samples taken indiscriminately ranging from 80 to 350 per ton. April 1 a body of gold was encountered in. the level fol lowing the ledge, a description of which would sound moie like fiction than fact. At this point the lively, clear- cut, bard quartz is literally welded and bound together by the yellow metal, samples going as high as $150,000 per ton. From eight ounces of this ore $25 was extracted in coarse gold, while se lected specimens would give greater re turns. From the result of three days stripping we estimate that $30,000 worth of ore will be taken out. The deposit of gold has been traced along the ledge for a distance of 1,700 feet, showing an ore chute of very unusual length, and the ledge ranging in width frnm nnn In fnm feui. Kvnrr narticln 0f the rock extracted from the com- mencement of operations last August up to the present time will aveiage $100 per ton, something unknown in the history of gold mining the world over. "It is not a pocket ledge by any means, as may be surmised from its ex treme richness, but at times the gold seems to be concentrated in .very rich bunohes, though without interfering a particle with the regular precipitation of the wealth characteristic of the ledge. "Negotiations aro under way for the erection of a modern stamp mill of large capacity, including rockbreaker, concentrator and self-feeder. Jnst as soon as the roads are in good condition the plant will be forwarded to the prop erty without delay." The Skyscraper is not the only mine in the Husanville district, by any means. Messrs. De Witt and McLean, Operating the Hughes group in the in terest of a Ban Francisco company, have completed their shipment of ore and are now pushing development work vigorously and as soon as the roads will admit they will have a 10-itarnp mill. Tbe ore body exposed by Horace Sloan last winter looks like a bouquet to a miner's eye, and is already attracting the attention of mining men. ' The ore chute is between five and eight feot wide, and in the neighborhood of 60 feet long. Milling tests show a free gold deposit of almost $9 per ton, while a concentrating test will go $30. Tbe Gem of the Mountains, owned by Mr. Blake, of Canyon City, now bonded to Mr. Mount, though base, is one of tbe most promising mining prop erties of that nature in Eastern Oregon. Development work is limited, but what has been done is sufficient to demon strate that an ore body of prodigious size will be unfolded as depth is at tained, and also that the precipitation of gold will be greater. Tbe average value of the heavy base ore is in the neighborhood of $50 per ton, and the ledge is fully five feet wide in the bot tom of the 80-foot shaft. About 80 feet a bo re this ledge is another strong one, running parallel aud carrying a small deposit of free gold, and from the trend" of the two ledges they will cer tainly merge together at no very great (lrtb. ens That pimple on your arm, those eruptions, Itching and burning hives, just as surely indicate Impurities in the blood, which should have prompt and careful attention, as do boils, carbun cles, ulcers; salt rheum and the sever est forms of sorofula.
