(Special.) Dr. Solf, the secretary of the colonies, who is traveling in German South west Africa, made a statement at Re hoboth on the subject of mixed mar ariages. He declared that the local authorities concurred with the Imper ial authorities in opposing mixed mar riages, and that the Imperial Govern ment hoped to Induce the Reichstag to change Its mind. The Federal Council, he added, would not give effect to the resolution passed by the Reichstag, so that there was no prospect of mar riages between whites and natives be ing legalized. It Is stated in the telegram that a council of Rehoboth half-breeds was received by the secretary, and told him that all the half-breeds were against the idea of mixed marriages being le galized. i The "Germania." the Berlin organ of the Centre party, which, with the Socialists, passed in the Reichstag the" resolution referred to, says that Dr. Solf has gone further than was quite appropriate. The government, it de clares, will not so easily Induce the Reichstag to alter its opinion, for this is a "question of principles which ad mits of no change."

There is a local tradition to the effect that certain members of the family were buried with all their lewels. There Is. as a matter of fact. to foundation for the story, so that the thieves must have been disappointed. On Friday the lid of the leaSen shell was found in the river a few feet from the bank.

The Reds' fleet battleships, which has Deen nover.nB . rn.t with 100.000 trained sol diers, has headed for Puget Sound and when the coast defenses are taken, Seattle will be pillaged. The maneuvers, wnicn dh .1.. n n-ith unnroxlmately 4500 reg- .iiir and militiamen " from Washington, Oregon and Idaho in the Held, ended this morning at 9 o'clock, when the Blues executed a hasty re treat, with the National Guard of Washington protecting the rear of the retreat and the Oregon National Guard firing on them unmercifully. The Idaho National Guard was not in the battle today, remaining at Oakville to entrain there for their home. The Washington and Oregon troops will entrain at Gate tomorrow. The reg ulars already have begun their march homeward, the bands playing "There Is no Place Like Home." After the hard battle of yesterday, when the Reds advanced, forded the Black River, after the bridge had been destroved. the Blues retreated several miles, drawing in their lines, and send ing to the rear their escort wagons, to keep from having their supplies cut off Part of the Blues camped here last night, but before daylight the escort wagons were sent back to Lit tle Rock, where reinforcements were moblliiing. theoretically. Preparations for a retreat were made and long before sunrise, the Blues, doggedlv returning fire from the rear by the Reds, retreated. The Reds, apparently ever more active than the Blues, were up early, taking advantage of the ground they had Mined, and sending two battalions of the TwentV-fifth Infantry three miles Into the Blues' territory, and planting their field artillery in an ad vantageous position to annihilate the Blues when they should pass. The Twenty-first Infantry, regulars, led the retreat, and the National Guard of Washington, which haa made an ex cellent showing, remaining to the last, fir inn at the enemy that was harassing them from both flanks.

Evans, GIRL MAY BE DN SHIP THE WORXIXG- OREGOXIAN. MOXDAT. JULY 29. 1913 mi OK MOL.T KK.NON, 2S. . Chief of the Division of the Militia Affairs, at Washington, D. C, who came from Washington to be an observer in the. maneuvers said tonight, after wit nessing the skirmishing and battle of the past few days, "This maneuver was the best that I have ever witnessed. It was planned more along the lines of real war than any I ever saw, with the opposing forces -more than B0 miles apart at the beginning of hostilities. "By doing this, the soldiers profited by making their advance through a strange country, as they would do In war. and instruction was given them, as well as to the militia, concerning the various problems met. The country over which the soldiers advanced is Ideal for maneuvers, being partly mountainous, partly prairie, and also a farming country. The field artillery showed to splendid advantage in the engagements of Friday and Saturday. I am very well pleased with the out come, and It also shows what might occur in case of a war with a powerful foreign power." The Reds were in command of Col. L. W. V. Kennon, of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, of Fort Lawton. while his opponent was Colonel George S. Young, of the Twenty-first Infantry, of Van couver Barracks, Washington. The spirit of the men was buoyant, after the first day or so, when some of them suffered with blistered feet from marching. General Maus, realiz ing that the militiamen were from the city in. many cases, and were not ac customed to the arduous duties of a soldier in the field, ordered that no march of more than ten miles a day be permitted. When the war was over this morn ing, and a truce declared, the Reds and the Blues marched back together, to Gate, the bands playing gaily and the men whistling and singing, "There is no Place Like Home." Not an accident in line of action occurred, though one trooper from Troop K. First Idaho, was killed by a train at Oakville, when absent without leave. On the same ground the officers des ignated by General Maus will have their test ride of 90 miles on horse back, beginning tomorrow. General Evans will go to Tacoma, then to Vancouver Barracks, San Fran cisco, and home. Lieutenant-Colonel George Bell, Jr., Inspector-General of the Western Division, returned to San Francisco today, as did Lieutenant-Colonel Charles H. Bartli, who will be chief umpire of the maneuvers to be held by the soldiers and militia of Cal ifornia and Utah, from August 10 to 23. General Maus is well pleased by the splendid conduct and military bearing of the militia, and especially so at the general good feeling between the reg ular troops and the militia of the sev eral states.

FIVE-YEAR JOB FINISHED Speed and Safety Figure in Big Ex penditure of Company on Center Street Bluff Improvement. By the expenditure of i 50,000 on its Oregon City line, the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company has ef fected a saving of two minutes in the schedule time on Its trains between Portland and Oregon City. The pri mary purpose of this investment was increased' safety in the movement of its trains, which has been secured by the elimination of a number of curves in its tracks. This was accomplished through the removal of about 500.000 yards of earth from the Center-Street bluff on the company's right-of-way, south of the Inman-Poulsen Lumber Company's property. Work on the excavation was begun five years ago and prosecuted leisurely, but almost continuously, until last Fri day when the improvement was finished. When the company originally constructed its Portland-Oregon City cut-off, via The Oaks, ten years ago, only one track was laid through the bluff, which ranged from 20 to 90 feet high and a mile long. When com pleted, the track Included seven sharp curves in a distance of less than three miles. As a result of the improvement Jost completed, the railway company has a pass through the bluff between 200 and 400 feet in width, on which double tracks) have been laid. In addition to the original cost of removing the earth, the company has expended approxi mitk S225.000 In laying tracks and other Improvements. j dp araounx ji e in iBiiw.cu, ex ceeded the amount excavated from the nr-i-i . will In flatt1 Thn earth was used for filling the property of the Inman-Poulsen uumoer company, ana as ballast for the railway company's Oregon City and Caxadero lines.

"'Old Uppercut,' the Bandit Chief, has carried away ten of your made to replace the vessels lost at Santiago de Cuba and Cavite. The first Spanish Dreadnought, the Espane. will be commissioned in November, and will be quickly followed by two others. These vessels each carry eight 30.3 centimetre guns, mounted in pairs In barbettes. Great sums have been spent in put ting the government arsenal at El Ferrol in a fit state to turn out ves sels of this type and thus establish a fresh national industry which had been allowed to decay. It now becomes obvious that on the completion of this initial programme fresh work must be given to the arsenal, or the workmen will have to be disbanded (and Inevit ably they will emigrate!, and the fruit of the nation's sacrifices will be lost. Thus fresh constructions become inev itable, and the government has In prin ciple decided upon the enlargement of the naval programme by the addition of three more Dreadnoughts of 20.000 tons, against the 15,700 tons of the Es pana and her sisters. ' Meanwhile, no provision has been made for the manning of the ships of the 1910 programme; much less has pro vision been taken for the three bigger ships to be laid down shortly.
