Wairants had already been drawn In your favor for 810 per day for fourteen days, before the board met, and for $10 per day for the thirty days the board was in ses sion, making a total of four hundred and forty dollars as secretary of a board limited by law, to thirty days. The total sum appropriated by the legislative assembly, to pay the ex penses of this board for two sessions was $0,500, and when the lirst session adjourned January 2, 1890, the board had expended 3.481.30. leaving unlr 83,015.70 to pay the expenses of the next sessson, wueu the board will con tain two additional members, caued by the creation of two new judicial districts by the last legislative assem bly. I was In doubt as to whether the board, at Its lirst session had au thority to expend money appropri ated to pay the expenses of the sec ond session, when it will be composed partly of new members, Including two additional members, and also as to whether the board had authority to pay a secretary, after it had ad journed. You presented jour claim again February 20, 1890, and specified the services rendered as follows: "One day, September 3, 1895, writing to all county clerks and assessors, ten dol lars; one day, January 4, 1890, attend ing to correspondence, mailing letters, etc., ten dollars; twelve days succeed ing January 0, 1890, recording the minutes including the final table in THIS LADY has just picked up the Journal and seeing our "SPECIAL SALE" notice and-Is somewhat surprised at the bargains offered" there.

If I did not do so you would apply to the court for an order directing me to Issue It. June 23. 1890. 1 referred the matter to the attorney-general.

Whether the services rendered by Mr. Coolidge are if suf ficient value In warrant you in audit ing and approving it Is a question of fact over which you alone have author ity. I need not call your attention to subdivision 0, section 2203 of Gen- erai law oi uregon, as jou are un doubtedly familiar with It. There being no legal reason why this should be withheld, and the matter depend ing entirely upon a question of fact, it will be within your discretion, after a proper examination, to determine whether the warrant should be is sued." Under date of Eugene, September 13, 1890, 1 received a postal card from Mr. A. E. Wheeler, asking if the at. torney-general had not rendered an opinion. The minutes should liayo been re corded as far as practicable each daj during the session to have been of any value to the board. Not having been so recorded, it was of little value to take them to your home and record them after the work of the board had been completed and the state tax had been levied as based on the work of of the session and the result certified by the secretary of state to all the county clerks. After carefully con sidering all the facts in this case I have arrived at the conclusion that seventy dollars in addition to the $440 which you have already received, is ample compensation for the services rendered by you. After paying this there will be only $2,045.70 left to pay the expenses of a board composed of nine members at the next session while the board composed of seven members expended $3,554.30 at the last session. Therefore' seventy dol lars is -allowed on this claim and sev enty dollars disallowed. Very respectfully, II. It KiNCAnr, Secretary of State. Salem vs. Newberg.

This city nan been, .thrown Into conster nation by a descent of the Spanish police. The homes of many peaceable citizens were entered. It is known that at least 25 persons were arrested and hurried to prison. Ncarl all of Eastern Cuba is in tho hands the Cu bans,save the city. The Spanish policy of arresting citizens suspected, of sym pathy with the Insurgents had lung since spread among all clnssoq The recent arrests are further evidence of General Weyler's determination to wage war ta citizens in tnein homes as well as on the armed bodlesj in the field. 1 No ono can learn any definite reason for the sudden arrests Thetpv were three women among the prlSQbcr. All were locked In the juil Incommun icados. Many were sent to Mprro cas tle. Amcng the captives was a doctor, two lawyers and four merchants.

A special from Gulmaro, Camegucy, giyes, the following details of the death of Myaor Dana Osgood,tho.foot- ball player who commanded -a Cuban battery during the recent siege of the town of Gulmaro. General Garcla.or dercd Major Osgood to open fire npon the Spanish forts. Two hours later a large fort known as Port Manfau, lo cated on a hill 700 yards from the town, was abandoned by its defenders who took refuge In the town. On the second day of tho siege, Ma jor Osgood, under heavy flro from the Spaniards, was- training ono Sf his pieces on the Forts. A Mauser ball struck him In the forehead. He uTT tered the word "Well,'' and, bonding forward on his connon, hugged It and breathed his last In behalf of Cuban liberty. The news of his death deeply Impressed President Clsncros and the commanding officers, all of whom had great regard for the American officer. The Spaniards who had an abund ant supply of ammunition, kept- up an Incessant fire against the Cuban entrenchments. General Garlcla, on October 27, made up his mind to capture tho jilace by assault. The Spaniards had abandoned all the forts outside of the town and made themselves strong on the Inside. They had taken commanding posltlong on the stone building and massive stone church in the public square. At a signal Generals Cebrecco and Capote, At the head of their men, charged the town from different quarters. The Spanish garrison took refuge In tho old church an strongly barricaded it. Genoral Carcla ordered that the three guns bo. brought to bear upon the stone structure, and flro was at once opened on it. One of tho shots from a 12 pounder morrtally wounded the Spanlih officer in command, Major 'Marincz, and killod some of hl6 men. Shortly after a tremendous cry or Viva Cuba hbre" came from the Cubans. The Spaniards bad signaled their unconditional surrender. Opera Company Disbands, Boston, Dec. 4.
