Cuban Clubs Accumulating the Sinews
of War Secretly Combining All
Element.
Chicago, July 2. A revolution- in
Cnba is threatened. The home-rule
party, which has for 14 years been fight-
ins the Spahish government, having
failed to gain what it sought, is with
the aid of others, making preparations
with this end in view. A Cuban revo
lutionary party has been formed in the
United States, Jamaca and Mexico,
They declare that they want liberty for
all the inhabitants of the island Span
iards and Cubans, negroes and white
men. They do not propose to invade
Cuba until the independent movement
; there takes definite shape and they are
asked to aid in the war. They do not
intend to send expeditions without a
complete understanding with the veter
ans of the past revolutions and with the
people on the island. They count upon
the sympathy of Spanish America and
of the liberty-loving inhabitants of this
country. They believe that Porto
Rico will rise at the same time in re
bellion. Not until the different com
munities have given their assent will
the war break ont. Meanwhile the
leaders, who are in direct communica
tion with every patriot inside and out
side the islands, are organizing, respect
ing, nevertheless, the international laws.
Cuban (slubs are accumulating funds
without which the war would be a fail
ure, and are working secretly to com
bine all elements for the final effort. In j
Kev West, which has 15,000 Cubans,
there are 40 clube, composed of rich and
poor, young and old, men and women.
In Tal pa there are eight, in New York
eight, in Jamaca five, and in Philadel
phia two. f The treasurer of the party is
Benjamin Guerra, a wealthy cigar
manufacturer.
Well Earned Quarantine.
Tacoma Trade. Business is somewhat
affected by our smallpox quarantine,
and many of our merchants are enjoy
ing a well-earned vac(cin)ation. It
would seem as though, if reports of the
victims are true, that the quarantine
officers are using their positions more to
the disadvantage of trade and local trav
el, than to the benefit . of the sanitary
condition' of the cilv. In refusing to
honor the certificates of the health offi
cers of our sister cities on the sound,
-they display a spirit of pompousness
and egotism that is unwarranted, and
detrimental to business and public pol
icy. By compelling business men who
are well known by these officials to have
been absent from the city less than ten
hours, to bare the arm and submit to
the lance, they show a zealousness in
the cause that is entirely beyond the
present requirements of the case. There
is no surer way of bringing a good thing
into disrepute than by overdoing the
matter, and this seems to be the status
of the quarantine regulations at the
present time.' '
Timely Suggestion.
Helena Independent. One thing that
the Coear d'Alene outbreak suggests is
more stringent laws regarding the sale
and use of giant powder and dynamite.
These explosives should not be lying
around near mines or other places where
mobs of wild and angry men can use
them to destroy life and property. It
ought to be possible to frame legislation
for the better care and handling of these
terribly destructive agencies, so. they
may be employed solely for the purpose
for which they were intended. - .
Served a Good Purpose.
-. Chicago News. The riotous proceed
ings in Idaho have done much toward
. drying up the blatherskites who mixed
. ; up McKinleyism and the . Homestead
riots in the same breath. , '
Another Danger Threatens.'
. Courier-Journal. It is hoped that the
- reduction, in base-ball salaries :may
create no -riots.-'
Telegraphic Flashes. ' '
The number of families burned out in
St. Johns is 1784, making 9000 homeless
people.
The Roumanian - government lias or
dered quarantine on the Russian fron
tier to prevent the in troductionof cholera.
The visit of the ameer of Bokhara to
St. Petersburg has .been postponed, aa it
is 'feared ' he' might : bring the' "cholera
among his retinue.
The new term of office of President
Diaz, which begins in December, Will in
all probability be characterized by im
portant fiscal reforms.
It is understood that the United States
government has secured a coaling station
on one of the Galopagos islands, which
has been much wanted.
Hugh O'Donnell, leader of the Home
stead millmen, and six others, against
whom warrants are out, surrendered
yeeterday and were locked up.
The tnos,t destructive and most for
midable naval vessel in the world, the
much-talked-of cruiser No. VZ, will be
launched at Cramp's shipyards next
Tuesday, afternoon.
The damage by Tuesday night's storm
at Gettysburg, S. D., is estimated at
$100,000. Six business houses, six
dwellings, two churches and one school-
house are destroyed. Two were killed
and several injured.
James Cockburn came from Glasgow,
Scotland, on a steamship Furnessia and
reached Detroit Bix days ago. Sunday
night he died verv suddenly of cholera
morbus, which presented all tiie charac
teristic symptoms of Asiatic cholera,
The remains turned completely black,
The body was buried at night, only four
persons in attendance, a clergyman, the
wife and brother ot tne deceased and a
friend who liad known Cockburn in
Scotland.
The Michigan republicans in conven
tion yeeterday, denounces the demo
cratic party of the state for enacting the
Miner law for choosing presidential
electors by districts, and the gerry
mander of the legislative districts ; and
praises republican protection and recip
rocity. The names of John T. Rich
and Mavor Pingree, of Detroit, were
placed in nomination for governor, An
informal ballot gave Rich a majority,
and his nomination was made unani
mous without a formal ballot.
,A Change May lie Beneiicial.
"Walla Walla Spectator. A free river
would relieve us of exorbitant freight
rates. The lake Washington canal will
not do it nor will'it add a quarter of a
cent a ton to the value of any product of
this great interior. ' Senator Allen
labored zealously for the former and
neglected the latter, and yet he and his
friends urge upon us the advantage of
having a representation in the United
States senate for our town. In view of
this neglect of our interests and the be
trayal of the trust reposed in him by his
eastern Washington constituents, it
would seem a change might be bene
ficial. '
Wages and Protection.
Oregonian. In . talking about the
Pennsylvania strikes one of our demo
cratic papers of Oregon says: "The
republican party promised good wages
as a result of protection, and the work
men expected good wages." But what
wages is protection expected to give?
The trouble in Pennsylvania was made
by men who were getting $5 to $10 a day.
It doesn't follow that men who are
helped through protection to f-5 or $10 a
day can' reasonably complain because
protection does not assure them $15 to $20.
Heppaer Two Laps Ahead.
John Day Sentinel. There is quite a
squabble going on between the papers of
Heppner, Baker and The Dalles as to
which one of those, places got most of the
Grant county wool this season. Perhaps
we clipped three crops and each place
got one ot tnem. However, if we were
to judge, we should say that Heppner
was just one or two laps ahead.
Horses In Klickitat.
Sentinel. Dr. Stewart and. Chas.
Newell started today for Hawley, Minn.,
with three car loads of horses, among
them the-celebrated trotter Banker. Ban
ker has been sold to a man in Minnesota.
At the rate they are leaving us horses
are likely to be in demand in Klickitat
before long.

editorial utterances upon the subject of
the lawless demonstrations at Home
stead have been timely, intelligent, fear

Pittsbukg, July 22. Yesterday at 6
p. m. was the final hour fixed for the re
turn of the strikers to the Carnegie
works, and to snch um failed to avail
themselves of the opportunity bo farther
attention will be given. It is thought
not more thau 10 per cent, of the old,
men have decided to go back to work.!
There will be no change in the time,'
plans or policy of the company regard
ing the works or men, Every chance
for the men to return to work has been
given, ineir places win lie nueu ana
the mills started. It may take a few
days longer than was expected to get the
necessary repairs made, bnt itisasserted
that the repairs are nearly completed
and that, in spite of statements to the
contrary, the Homestead plant will be
in operation before the week is out. A
tug left Pittsburg yesterday with pro
visions and men for Homestead. In
passing the looks several of the men de
serted the tug. Notwithstanding the
firm stand of the strikers, enough - men
have gone to work to insure starting the
mills. The strike has begun to seriously
affect the business interests'of Pittsburg.
Business men complain very much" of
tho dullness of trade, and have very little
hope of any improvement. A leading
merchant said this morning: "Of the
monthly wages received by the Home
stead men, fully $100,000 comes to Pitts
burg. This is merely one item, and it
amounts to $1,200,000 yearly. There
are other and more serious results from
the strike which directly, affect the city.
Work on large business blocks, for which
structural iron work is made by the
Carnegies, has been retarded."
Courageously Answered.
Cur d'Alene Minor. "How long
will the troops be here?" is a question
asked on all sides. The sympathizer
who feels that he is barelv clear of the
law asks it and mutters his revenge
when the coast is clear. Others, who
want them here, ask it. Let the Miner
answer: United htates troops win te m
the Cceur d'Alene till every mine which
wants to work is running full hlast; till
the right of an employer to hire and dis
cbarge whom he will is established so
strong that it never can be destroyed ;
till the right of every law-abiding citi
zen to work for whom or what he pleases
is never questioned ; till the last trace
of anarchy is blotted out; till every A
man who has transgressed the law has
paid or is paying the penalty ; and last; J
till it is demonstrated beyond doubt
that they will never again be needed for
what they are here today. .
Press Association Meeting.
The question of entertaining the edi
torial fraternity of Oregon, at The Dalles
for about three days next month, is be
fore the people. It is' the opinion of
The Chronicle that nothing else, just
at this particular time, would result in
more general good for all The Dalles
and the Inland Empire than for the
Press Association to meet here and be
come familiarized with subjects so great
ly ignored and yet of . such decided im
portance to the public. Outside of The
Dalles it has not yet been publicly an
nounced that the river and harbor bill
bas become a law. Let us get together
here at The Dalles, and impress r.pon
members of the association why this is
thus. "' ' " ' '.. :
' A 'Bankrupt County. 4
Osburn Statesman, Conservative es
timates as to the damage to property in
this county are put at $200,000.' The
loes of life, though appalling, can not be
figured in the dollars and cents column.
Still the county will' be. compelled to
stand heavy suits for damages instituted
by relatives of the murdered and in
jured men. The upshot of the matter is
that Shoshone county is bankrupt, and
it is safe to say that her credit today
would not purchase a paper of pine, in
the outside world.

the Government for Rlgorons-
. Qcbbkc, July 23. The attention of the
Canadian . government has' "frequently
been called to the defective system of
quarantine regulations both on the Pa
cific and the Gulf - of St. Lawrence and
now prominent medical men of Montreal
have sounded an alarm against a danger
which they declare threatens Canada
from Asiatic cholera, on . the . Pacific as
well as the Atlantic coast. .The Quebec
board of health has also addressed a
memorial to the -government, demand
ing that stricter quarantine rales be laid
down and enforced. - Dr. Lefeve, chair
man of the Vancouver board of health,
who arrived here today, declared that
the danger on the. Pacific was very great,
and that extreme precautions were nec
essary against the diFeernination of !
cholera and small -pox by immigrants
and passengers from China and Japan
'As.yet" the doctor st atedV" there have
.been no rases of cholera in British Col
umbia. : The 1 small-pox outbreak was
serious enough) but the danger is all
over in Vancouver now. -.When I left
there were.pnly fonr cases, two of which

Victoria, however it is bard to say how
far the disea-fe lias t pread. There are
over twenty ca.ea there, and the neces
sity for quarantine regulations is still
great. It is ho more pressing, however,
than the need of a ermanent quaran
tine at Vancouver to guard the health
of the whole Dominion." .

HIRING MEN EAST AND -WEST.
Wages Said to Be Better Than Striker
Received Before the Trouble
Began.
Homestead, July 23. Gov. Pattisou
left for Harrisburg at noon yesterday.
Just beforo leaving he stated emphatic
ally that no change bad been made in
the orders-to tbe troops, and none was
contemplated. The 'departure of the
governor cuts off the hope of the strikers
that lie wbuld intervene in their behalf.
The strikers report their ranks are still
solid, but the line at the relief commit
tee rooms this morning was nearly
twice as long as before. ' The tension be
tween the troops and the strikers grows,
and serious results are likely to follow
at any time. The Carnegie company
began to carry out its expressed inten
tion to put non-union men iu the Home
stead mills yesterday. The steamers
Tide and Little Bill continued to make
trips all day.. From. the number of men
coming and going from the offices of the
company, it looks as if the claim that
the company has all tho men necesanry
to start the mills ; is true. All the, old
employes occupying places owned, by
tho company were served with eviction
notices this morning. Under their'con- .
tract with the company they are obliged
to deliver possession in ten days.
A ,St.. Louis . dispatch says t "Some
days ago an advertisement appeared in
a local paper for puddlers, heaters and
iron-workers to go east. ( A union iron
workor who applied says the advertiser
was an agent of the Carnegie company
from Homestead hunting, men to take
places in the mills there. The wages
offered were 15 to 40 cents a day higher
than the strikers were receiving at the
time of the lockout.
. J. Ogdcn Hoffman, agent for the Car
negie Steel company in Philadelphia,
employed about thirty steel workers
yesterday, and dispatched them to
Homestead. The hiring was conducted
with great secrecy. The advertisements
in the morning papers asked those in
search of work to call at an address on
Arch street, whence they were sent to
the company's office and satisfactorily
engaged. " '

the avidity with which the old cows
begin to devour the bunches of hay
which fall from wagons passing along
the streets. This shows , the time for
