TO CAPTURE PORTO RICO AND CUBA,

Arrangements Are Made,

SAMPSON IS TO ATTACK PORTO

RICO

And Commodore Schley to try for Havana.

[Seecta. ro THe Examiver.]

W asuincrox, May 11.—The exactpro-

gramme regirdiaog Porto Rico has beep made known.

Admiral Sampson's fle+t will guard the mouth of the harbor ard prevent all ingress or egreas, batfactual bombardment of the town Swith its ‘sacrifice of bumaa

iife and the present reductions of fortifica- tion does not seem to be put forth.

The harbor of San Juan is defended by ten modern high pressure power guns, of ten asd twelve inch calibres and unless the Spanish gunners are a3 worthless as their fellow countrymea at Manilla, some danger would be inflicted upon the ships of Samp- son’s squadron and there would be no adequate return for injaries sustained.

It would also be useless to capture San Juan until troops could be sent there to complete the possession of the city.

Trouble In Italy.

[SeectaL To Toe Examiner]

Loypon, May 11.—According to a special despatch from Rome, 23 provinces in Italy are virtually in a state of siege.

Rumor has it that the trouble is foment- ed by cleiicals who have chosen this movement for an attack on the Monarchy. No proof of this exists, but King Ham-

bert and his entourage are greatly dis-

tressed at the turn of events.

BEFORE THE UNITED STATES WILL AGREE.

Provisions for the Army of Invasion.

(Specia, to Tue Examiner)

Wasninatoy, May 11.—It 1s proposed to send to Cuba provisions enough to last

the invading army for six months.

When Cuba is taken, as it surely wil] be within ten days, it will sue for peace.

The United States will only grant peace

THE PARLIAMENT =|

OF CANADA. Government's © Mistake S "ATLANTIO SERVIOR” | Sir Charles Tupper Scores the:

[SpeciaL TO THE EXAMINER ]

the House of Cart~ |

Orrawa, May 11.—Io Commons, yesterday, Sir Richard

with Peterson, Tate & Co.,

the

egreement extending the time for completion of contract.

Sir Charles Tupper said he had not, last year,shared the sanguine hopes of the Gov- ernment that Peterson & Tate were capable ct carrying out the contract in a satisfac- tory manner, and he thought now that the Government would admit they had made a mistake in not carrying out the contract made with the Allans by the late Govern- ment.

So far it did not appear thatthe con- tractors bad accomplished anything at all last year. The Opposition leader wert on io point out the strqng position Canada would be in if the Allan contract had been carried out.

On the first day of this month four steamships equal to any in the world would have been on the Canadian route.

With the events now going on in the world our tranesatlantic steamship businese would have undergone u greater develop~ meat in One year than at ordinary times could be accomhblished in ten years. Such an Opportunity as this year offers comes to this country once ip a life-time.

Sir Charles closed by stating that he would support the resolution as he had believed Jast yearas there seemed to be nothing beuer+h sight,

The question of the bye-slection in Bagot brought up the Speaker. He seid he bad Jong ago issued his warrant for the writ, but the Goveroment had disregaided it. Laurier now says that he proposes to wait for the new lists.
