WILL LEAVE VANCOUVER TODAY And from Tacoma Will Go Direct to the Reservation and Stop the Railroad Building. Vancouver, Wash., May 11. The con tinued intrusion of Koss and his rail road party from Tacoma, and their de termination to build across thePuyallup reservation at all hazards, culminated in a telegraphic order from the war department to forcibly put a atop to the railroad building. Thia afternoon Gen eral Ruger isaued the necessary order from headquarters, department of the Columbia, and Captain Carpenter and hi company of the Fourteenth infantry were selected to repel the invaders.

"Ho was a meaiber of the famous bucktail regi ment," she said, "and stood beside and cared for my two brother who died on the battlefield. He is a republican, but for that deed he deserves my everlasting love and support." The populists roundly abuse Mrs. Lease. INDIGNANT CITIZENS Of ROHEHl'BO Election Manifesto. Berlin, May 12. The conservatives publish this morning theirelection man ifesto. It savors in every line of agrari anirm, w hile protection and bimetallism are avowed boldly as the foremost party principle which must lie reckoned with by the government if it desires a firm alliance. No unequivocal word is spoken concerning the army bill. In fact, anything that could be construed a a definite approval of the measure is carefully avoided. The manifesto hints at the desirability of a large tax which would fall most heavily upon Jewish speculators. The anti-Semitic senti ment of the party is not iecially con spicuous iu the manifesto, but a spe ciously worded paragraph aay that the 'profession Christianity must lie ade quately impressed upon the life of the iieople and the action of the legislative bodies and the administration of justice." Two Stories From Nicaragua. Washington, May 12. Minister Guz man, of Nicaragua, has received advices the exact opinwite of those sent Gresham by United Statea Minister Newell. In- etead of the revolutionists having things all their owu way, Guzman says his ad vices are several day later than those of Newell, and that a big decisive battle, which doubtless would result in a per manent victory for the government, was exjiected to lie fought today. Infinite new of the result will not be known for a couple of days. The X'nited States warship Atlanta will leave New York to day for Greytown, Nicaragua. A dis patch to the navy department from San Francisce says the Alliance will sail for Corinto, Nicaragua, today instead of Sat urday. The Itelirlna; Hen Tribunal. Paris, May 12. Sir Charles Russell continued his address in behalf of the British case before the Behring sea tri bunal of arbitration today. Sir Charles discussed the rights of Kussia in the Behring sea under the treaties between Kussia and Great Britain. Sir Charles contended that the treaties in question recognized merely territorial rights. Sir Charles then went into an analysis of the American statutes relating to Beh ring sea, aud argued that the statutes in question were territorial in theirchar acter ami not applicable to foreigners. A Test Will He Made. Washington, May 12. When Senator I)olph was informed that naval vessels to iail to Behring sea were to be coaled at Departure bay, B. C, he secured a reversal of the order. The vessels are now Instructed to load w ith Puget sound coal, and a test will lie made, of this. Senator Dolph hopes that the very best coal will lie furnished these vessels, as it may determine the supply of vessels in the future. Mm. Lease ehona Her VVoiiianllueso. Toi-kka, May 11. Mary L.

Since the in junction proceeding enjoining the Sold'er' Home commissioners from pro ceeding with the building of the Soldiers Home near Roseburg, because of the constitutional provision that no state public building shall be erected at any place but tbe state capital, the citizens of Roseburg have been holding number of impromptu indignation meetings and the sentiment is working toward creat ing public sentiment throughout the state to remove the state capital from Salem to Albina. The provocation if so much stronger than that which caused the removal of the capital of California from Sacramento to San Jose that the citizens of South ern Oregon would certainly have the eupport of the entire state, because of the greediness of the people. If this injunction should succeed, then, of course, all the towns and cities through out the state that now have pub lic buildings would have to give them up, and then the building, of course, would have to be erected in Salem. The citizens of Roseburg with good rea son think the next legislature could be induced to pass the necessary law to place before the people of the state a constitutional amendment, taking that right away from Salem and also chang ing the capital. 8TIUCK IT KIC'll. Enough Or In Night to Make the Dis coverers Klch. Baker City, Or., May 12. One of the richest gold strike ever made in this section of country, not excepting the now famous White Swan mine, which is yielding fl ,000 per day with a 10-stamp mill, waa uncovered yesterday. The lucky finders of the rich gold deposit are James and Samuel Baisley, the latter one of tbe discoverer of the White Swan. The new find is situated about three wiles south of the White Swan and Virtue mines. Over fl, 000 in gold was pounded out Jyeslerday in a hand mortar. Tbe ledge in which this pocket has been found ha been uncovered 100 feet, and prove to be a pay chute for that distance and varie in width from two to ten feet. There is enough rich ore in sight to make the owner an im mense fortune. The city ia greatly ex cited over the find and the people have been leaving all day to be on the ground and stake off extensions. Sample of ore, one piece weighing ten pounds, and containing over fl00 In gold, have been placed on exhibition at the Baker City National bank aud have been viewed by hundreds of people. All say that it is the greatest find ever made in the North west, and from all indications the mother lode of the Virtue &nd White Swan dis tricts has been found. The Cuban Insurgents. Key West, Flu., May 12. Everything is quiet in the Cuban colony. Large quantities of arms and ammunitions are here, destined for the Cuban insurgents. The federal officers here are instructed to prevent the shipment of these at all hazards. The cutter McLaue's officera insiect all vessels leaving this port, and customs ollicers patrol the south beach at night. Every precaution is taken by the authorities to prevent an expedition leaving or the shipment of arm from here. The Cubans here do not believe all the insurgents havesurrendered, and say the Spanish authorities have sup pressed all the news unfavorable to theircause. A Itroulh In Kngland. London, May 12.

PORTLAJiD NOT YET NOTIFIED The Author of the Bill Is a California", and Says He Knew What He Was Doing. Washington, May 15. Special to The Chronicle. Interest centered to day in the Chinese exclusion act, com monly known as the Geary bill, and the United States supreme court room, as well as the galleries, was thronged to hear the discussion. The decision, as finally arrived at, was that the act was constitutional, and the roar of approval that went up from the throats of the listeners effectually precluded anything being said for several minutes. The judge had to rap sharply with his gavel, and several were ejected from ihe court room before even comparative Bilence could be restored. It developed during the argument that Geary of California upon formulating his bill, had sought the best legal advice obtainable and was pronounced constitutional by leading authorities in the state, including the judge of the supreme bench and the ex- governor of the state. Outside of the judicial halls, however, there is manifest a good deal of anxiety aud those who have taken a prominent interest throughout professed serious alarm, both as to China's conduct to ward the United States and the sever ance of friendly relations with that country, which will seriously afreet our trade relations. Official information has not yet reached Portland, but a bulletin posted up on the streets is attracting crowds of people and the general sentiment is of satisfaction. Records of proceedings in the federal courts in New York on Saturday, in what are known aa the Chinese Exclu sion cases, were Bleu in the supreme court by T. D. Riorden of San Francisco, counsel for the Six companies. These are the cases in which petitions are made for the issuing of writs of hapeas corpus in behalf of the Chinese arrested and held by John W. Jacobus, United States Marshal for the southern district of New York. The petitioners are Fong Yue Ting, Wong Quan and Lee Joe. The record in tbe case of Lee Joe show that it was intended to test a separate point in the law, or at least a construction of the law made by the collector of internal revenue in New- York. The collector refused to accept a Chinese witness as to the indentity of Lee Joe when the latter applied for a certificate. The law required the evi denceof a white witness in court, but is silent an to the nationality or radical characteristics of witnesses before the collector, and this point played no un important part in the proceedings, which finally decided the point against the Chinese. A Life Insurance Decision. Newport, Ky., Mayjll. The Ken tucky court of appeals has handed down a decision of great moment to insurance companies. The court decides that a policy taken out by a wife on the life of her husband, without his knowledge, cannot be collected in case of death, as an Insurance contract is a personal con tract. The court further holds that w here a w ife has used her husband's money in paying for such policy he may recover by civil process. INHIKOKNTN HTII.l. ACTIVK. Cuban Hyniiiathlsera Malm That riialn lias Not Yet Conquered. Key West, Fla., May 13. Advices from Cuba to the insurgents hero bid them not to despair or give up. The province of St. It) go is virtually held by the insurgents and they can not be easily dislodged. The Cubans tonight had a parade and speech making. It is staled that 500 of the 3,000 men in line are ready to embark for Cuba. The M as cot t arrived at 8 q. in. She brings news of raids in the province of Havana by revolutionists.

Every precaution will be taken to prevent shipment. General Mertz, it is said, has collected $15,000 since Monday for the Cuban cause. Marriage Koyal. London, May 14. It is thought that the engagement of Ixird Rosebery to Princess Maud of Wales will goon be formally announced The Earl of Rose bery, secretary of state for the foreign department was born in 1847. As secretary of state for foreign affairs in Mr.Gladstone's cab inet in 18SC, he won general approval at home and abroad LpKoRejtaascf for his firmness in conducting the diffi cult questions connected with the Servo Bulgnrian war, and that of Greece's de sire of a territorial indemnity. In 1878 he married Hannah, the only child of Baron Meyer de Rothschild, who died in November, 1890. Princess Maud of Wales is the third daughter of the Prince and Princess, and is not quite 23 years of age. She is said to be a very charming young per son, whose grace and accomplishments might well have commended themselves to his lordship even if she were not the daughter of England's heir apparent. She inherited from her mother grpat skill in needlework, and in her pretty rooms at Sandringham, the country residence of the prince, may be eeen the sewing machines on which so inanv bales of clothes have been made for the poor of the neigh borhood and where quite a number ot the dresses of the princess and her sis ter, Victoria, have been made by their own hands.
