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

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

If I did not do so you would apply to

Issue It. June 23. 1890. 1 referred the
matter to the attorney-general. July
15, 1890, the attorney-general, handed
me a written opinion in which he
said:
"There can be no question in my
I opinion of the authority or the board

uuv,uuuiiu iiiuuuii'uucss ueiore aim
after Its session. 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.

Weyler's War Upon Citizens.
Particulars of the Deatlr of an
American Artilleryman.
Santiago De Cuba, Dec d. 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

two lawyers and four merchants. All

plotting agalpst Spanish authority.
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.
