A tribune dispatch from Washington says: The policy of the administration in reference to Cuba is not likely to bo criticised as was that of its predeces sor on the score of indifference to the rights of American citizens. Secre tary Sherman, unlike -Olney, will see to It that imprisonment of suspects entitled to the protection of the United States, for an indefinite period is no longer indulged in by Spanish olllciuls in Cuba. lie will even go further and make it plain td the Spanish authorities that they cannot, in the closing of the luth century, be permitted to carry on war on principles widely divergent from modern civilization. In short, notice lias been served on the Spanish gov ernmentInformally as yet, but still in unmistakable terms that this government recognizes a state of civil war on the island of Cuba which de mands a treatment of tprlsoners taken in action by either side somewhat different from that which seems to havebeen accorded them thus far. The immediate cause of this notice being served on the Spanish govern ment was, of course, the capture ot Cuban General- Rivera, and the rumor that he would be forewith tried by drumhead court-martial and shot. The president, immediately after the news of the fate in store for the prisoner was received, directed Secre tary Sherman to draw up a protest against the contemplated action ot General Woylcr. Upon second con sideration, however, the protest took a less formal shape. Instead of being delivered to the Spanish minister in writing, Senor dc Lome was sent for by the secretary of state informed as to the views of the administeratlon in the matter. This protest, it Is as sumed was no lessexplisit than that which Secretary Sherman has pre viously drafted. At any rate it had its effect, for General itlvera is still living. American Flag Destroyed. New Yonic, April 10. A Herald dispatch from Sagua Grande, via Key West, Jays a. report has Just reached there of an outrage perpetrated near the town of Encicrujada, by Spanish troops, who destroyed the property owned by the wife of the British vice consul, Mr. Harris, of Sagua Grande, and tore up an American flag, which the manager of the estate, George Harris, who is an American citizen, had draped over his bed. The estate of Mrs. Harris, called La Palma, is about two miles from En cicrujada. The troops broke open the doors and removed articles of yalue. Finding the flag in the manager's bedroom, the soldiers carried it out with many epithets and tore it into bits. Being satisfied with their ven geance on the bit of bunting, in the presence of its owner, they departed. The matter was reported to Mr. Harris on his return, and ho promptly laid it before the British and Ameri can consular officials in Sagua, who will cause a thorough investigation. It is said the Spanish assert that they bad seen Insurgents leaving the estate, but this is denied by the man ager. The American consul at Sagua, Don't judge tea by its price. You can pay more than Schilling's Best costs and get poorer tea. No; judge it by the way dealers give money back on tea as they do on Schilling's Best A Schilling & Compzor Ml his friends say, will make a full re port on the flag Incident. He is Mr. Barker, onp of the most vigorous American represcnratlves on the Is land. Women Cast in Prison. Havana, April 10. Sixteen Cuban women fronfthe town of San Francisco de Paulo, Havana Province, have been thrust into the house of detention for difrruputable women. All belong to families of highest respectability. In Guanabacoa women prominent in Cuban families haye also been ar rested on a charge ot being abbettors to the insurgents. The police entered the houses after midnight and arrested the women without giving 'them time to even dress. Weyler liUs given orders to prosecutei all wotuen suspected of sympathy with the revolution. "These women' 'hesald in an official communation to thollavana Chief of Police, arc redoutable foes, as they can more easily than men keep in com munication with the Insurgents The more distinguished they are the more dangerous, as through social acquaint ances they can pick up niqny impor tant secrets. I recommend you not to be moved to lenietjey through any con sideration of thelr'sex." General Rey reports that a column under his command had a successful engagement with the Insurgents forces near the village of Guaymoin Manzallo district, Santiago dc Cuba. Having learned the Insurgents were in force nearthe place Rey proceeded cautiously in order to guard against an ambuscade. The Insurgents were found in an entrenched position not far from the road. This fact excited the suspicions of Rey. Tlio soldiers found four burled torpedoes, which were afterward rendered harmless by the troops. Orders were then given for the column to carefully advance and avoid any place that might coq tain a mine. It is well this precaution was taken for as the troops moved toward tho position of the Insurgents three tor pedoes were exploded, but without doing any damage! The Cubans were finally compelled to retreat. While the troops were returning to Cauto they were attacked bythe Insurgents, who had reformed. The Insurgents were routed with heavy loss. Probably Lost at Sea. San Francisco, April 10. The Im pression that tho American ship Sam aria, from Seattle for San Francisco, coal laden, has gone to the bottom grows stronger day by day as no tid ings come from the overdue vessel. The Alcalde, which left Seattle simul taneously with the Samaria, arrived in this port April 2d. Tho Alcalde's master says that on March 25th he en countered a terrible southeast gale and, after being in company with tho Samaria four days, the vessels unin tentionally separated. The Samaria was laden so deeply in the water thut tho seas broke over her, and she wal lowed badly in the trough of the sea. The Alcalde has hard work saying herself, and she only escaped from tho fury of the storms by throwing out oil bags, which moderated the force of the sea Immediately about her. a On the followlngday the wind moderated, but there was no sign of the Sa maria. Much wreckage was drifting about and the Alcalde's officers saw a set of ship steps and a corpse, tangled in a mass of ropes, which drifted aBtern. A School Library.

The evening session convened at 8 o'clock, and continued until a iato hour in tho night. The main busi ness transacted wus the discussion of an address to the people of Oregon, and tho following was adopted: ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. "To the People of the State of Ore gon:" "The Peoplo's party state central committee of Oregon beg to call your attention to the fact that our party is u union party composed of former Republicans, Democrats and members of all other political organization, who met at Cincinnati in 1891, and again at Omaha in 1802, and adopted a platform and named the party, and reiterated its principles at St. Louis in 1800. This platform includes all tliat is advocated by the bimetallic Republicans, and Silver Democrats. Tho continuous efforts of other par ties and persons to destroy this origi nal union party and to change Its name justify us In addressing you ut this time. "By unselfishly and patriotically accepting and nominating W. J. Bryan, who was the candidate of another party, Jn the hope of obtain ing one of tho leading principles of our platform, we did not for a moment abandon any ot our other principles, nor surrender the S2paratc state and national existence of tho people's party. "We urge the people of every precinct to form and maintain one or more non-partisan organizations for the careful study of bimetallism, and all other great economic questions. "We hereby especially congratu late you on tho fact that tho Initiat ive and Optional Referendum, which was first called to your attention by our party, has been introduced during the past winter In tho legislatures of at least 14 states of the Union, and was voted for by many republicans and democjats as well as populists, and the constitutional amendment for this purpose wus approved by both houses of the legislature of South Dakota. "We therefore submit to you the following resolution defining tho pos ition of our party with referenco to otiicr political parties and persons; "Resolved, That it is tho. sense of our state central committee that the Peoplo's party is a union of reform elements; thut It is tho original and only national blmetallo party, that we cordially inylte all who are op posed to the singlo gold standard and its allied trusts and monopolies to act with us, and that wo aro opposed to any attempts of fusion with any other political party or faction under any other name or upon any different platform thin that adopted by tho Peoplo's pariy national convention, at St. Louis. "In connection, we hartlly indorso tho action of our members In the late attempted sesslonjofjthe legislative as sembly, in refusing to assist either faction of the Republican party to organize tho house of representative, without assurance of tho passage of ot measures that would make hon est elections probablo in Oregon and give the voters direst power over law making.
