BOUND FOR BERML DAS
Reported Destination of the
Flying Squadron.
LARGE FLEET ALREADY THERE
It Would Certainly Be Regarded by
This Country as a Hostile Demon'
stration- Leo's Services Siot
Tendered
Portsmouth, England, Jan. 17. The
flying squadron is assembled at Spit'
head. It is reported the destination of
the squadron, after leaving Bantry bay
Ireland, will be the Bermudas.
NOT BKL1KVED AT WASHINTTOS
Would Certainly Be Recorded as a Bos
tile Demonstration.
"Washington, Jan. 17. The cable re
port today from Portsmouth, England
whence the British flying squadron is
about to sail, that the destination may
be the Bermudas, cannot be confirmed
in' any official quarter here. The British
squadron already at and about the Ber-
xnudas consists of 16 ships. Should the
Portsmouth report be true it would in
crease this squadron to 22 ships, or 28
including the six torpedo-catchers. It
is doubted that Great Britain would send
such a powerful fleet into American
waters at this time, when their presence
would almost certainly be regarded as
hostile demonstration, certainly not
called for, as lone as diplomacy has not
yet exhausted its resources in the settle'
ment of the differences between, the
United States and Great Britain.
Has Been Done Before.
New Yohk, Jan. 17. William Blake

longing to the American Bible Society
says :
"Our bibles have been burned before
in Peru. Fanaticism is the cause of it.
The natives are opposed to the disturbu-
tion of our Protestant Bibles and every
now and then they Beize oar stock and
destroy it. What will be done? Noth
ing. What can be done? They have
destroyed the Bibles before; they de
stroy them now and will destroy them
again, but just the same we shall contin

was imprisoned there for no other reason
than that he was distributing our Bibles
He was kept in jail for five or six months
and was only released through the inter

"While the decision is adverse to Dun
raven, it censures him only mildly for
bringing the charges."

at
REPUTATION
FOR
CRUELTY
The United States Government's Efforts
to Protect Hammond Other
Foreign Affairs.
Havana, Jan. 18. The civil governor
of the province of Havana, through his
secretary, Senot Francisco, Calva Mun
os, and the chief of the treasury, Senor
Cabezas, admit they have received
cable message from Madrid announcing
that a successor has been appointed to
General Campos in the person of Gener
al Valeriano Weyler.and that they are to
expect his arrival at Havana shortly.
Washington, Jan. 28. The announce
ment of the appointment of General Val
eriano Wevler as captain-general oi
Cuba, was received at Cuban headquart
ers here as confirmatory of the view they
had already expressed upon the news of
Campos retirement that there has been
a radical change In the policy ot tne
Spanish cabinet and that henceforth
there is to be a reign of blood and terror
in Cuba. The change in the cabinet it
self, in the retirement of the Duke of
Fetuan and the succession of Senor El
Buayen as minister of foreign affairs, is
regarded as still further confirming
these ideas. -
General Wevler is a veteran soldier
and has had his own experience in Cub
an revolutions for be followed the for
tunes of the Spanish army in Cuba for
years during the last revolution with the
rank of colonel, and earned for himself
a dreadful reputation as a man of blood
and iron. Moreover, the Cuban leaders
here hint at actions of cruelty to women,
and defenseless prisoners in his past in a
fashion that augurs ill for the rebels who
come within bis power, and they .pre
dict that he will soon become involved
in trouble with the United States gov
ernment as a result of the ill treatment
of American citizens who may be unfor
tunate enough to fall under suspicion
General Weyler quitted Cuban ground
soon after the suppression of the last re
bellion and has since dwelt in Spain,
holding the important position of captain-general
of the province ot Cata
lonia.
Washington, Jan. 18. Senator White
ot California, said today that be . had
communicated with the state depart'
ment concerning the report printed to
day as to the dangerous situation of
Hammond, the CaliTornian who is held a
prisoner at Johannesburg-for alleged
complicity in the Transvaal: troubles,
but had been informed that no confir
mation had been received there as to the
reports of bis danger.. Senator White
expressed confidence that the govern
ment would continue to use its best ef
forts in behalf of Hammond, as well as
others Americans in the Transvaal, .
The Turk Must Talk.
Washington, Jan. 18. Secretary OI
ney telegraphed Minister Terrell at Con'
stantinople yesterday instructing him to
ascertain definitely and finally the decit
sipn of the Turkish authorities upon the
question of the admission of the Red
Cross society into Armenia for the dis
tribution of relief funds among the des
titute natives, but has received no reply.
Miss Clara Barton, president of this
society, was at the capitol' today in con
ference with Senators Hoar and Cnllom
with reference to her proposed expedi
tion, but she said at the close of the con
sultation that the matter was in such a
state of doubt as to render it nnadvis
able to discuss her plans. -

ROUGH ON THE SENTRY.
The Remedy Was All Right, But It Was
Given to the Wrong Man.
One of the most amusing' stories of
the day treats of mistaken philan
thropy, according1 to Tid-Bits. At a
certain army post there was a London
sentry on duty near the hospital. The
surgeon was preparing' to go to bed in
side, when he was annoyed and alarmed
at the sentry's coug-hiDg. His ex
perienced ear told him that the man
hod a severe bronchial affliction need
ing1 a strong remedy.
He debated awhile with himself and
then goiug into the dispensing-room
compounded a powerful mixture. This
he took outside to the sentry, with in
structions to swallow it immediately.
The man refused. The surgeon in
sisted, and finally commanded the
soldier to take the 'medicine, which he
did with much grumbling. Then the
worthy surgeon went to bed, pleased to
hear no more coughing.
Next morning-, to his surprise, the
commanding officer sent for him and
said that the sentry had complained.
declaring that the surg'eon had forced
him to swallow something he thought
was poison. An investigation followed.
and revealed the fact that while the
surgeon was mixing the medicine the
coughing sentry had been relieved, and
consequently the remedy had been
given to the wrong man. ,
Phosphorus, in the Human Body.
The human brain contains "a consid'
erable proportion of phosphorus, vary
ing from 1-20 to 1-30 of the entire mass,
If the average weight of the Caucasian
brain be taken at 4714- ounces it will
then contain an amount of phosphorus
amounting to from 1 7-12 to 2 ounces.
A curious fact regarding this phos
phorus in the human brain is that it is al
most entirely wanting in the brain-
matter of idiots. ,
Great Wear of Railroad Iron.
Taking the total length of the rail
ways of the world at even 60,000 miles,
and allowing a daily average of ten
trains over each road, it is estimated
thatf'the total loss of iron by wear and
tear each day of the year is not less
than 600 tons. The iron thus lost goes
back to the earth in the shape of fine
powder which is finally transformed
into soluble iron salts.

THE FLYING SQUADRON
It Will'Not Sail for Ameri

BRITISH ADMIRALTY SAYS SO
A LETTER FROM KINO LEOPOLD
His Boyal Highness Discusses the Rea
sons Why England Is so Cor
vdlally Hated by Other
Nations.
London, Jan.' 20. In spile of the as
sertion of a sensational news agency to
the contrary, the Associated Press is in a
position to repeat its assertion of Satur
day last, that it had been informed by
the British admiralty that the destina
tion of the flying squadron, now at Spit
head, is not yet determined upon even
by the admiralty, and certainly it will
not go to Bermuda or anywhere in
American waters for the present.
Reports from New York that com
munications regarding the destination of
the British flying squadron, have passed
between the governments of the United
States and Great Britain, are pronoun
ced utterly without foundation.

KING LEOPOLD'S
LETTER.
Reasons
He Gives for the
Universal
Dislike of England.
London, Jan. 20. The Times gives
great prominence in its columns to a let
ter signed "A Foreigner," discussing the
reasons why England is hated. Its im
portance lies in the fact that the writer
is really King Leopold, of Beligum, who
is visiting London, and that 'he arrays
himself as the only champion of the
British cause who has been found in
Europe during the present crisis.
The following shows the tenor of his
majesty's letter: ;
"As one who has taken, during a half
century, the keenest in teres in English
politics and who has always, followed
with great admiration the spirit of enter
prise, unflinching love of . liberty and
great achievements of. your nation all
over the world, 1 cannot suppress my
astonishment on finding that not only
Americans, Turks, and Boers, but nearly
all the nations of Europe and Asia mani
fest great animosity toward Great Brit
ain , and I, very naturally, ask myself
what on earth may have caused that un
animous hatred and what is the reason
they pour the vials of their wrath upon
the English?
Success has in all times engendered
envy and animosity, and particularly if
this success is the outcome of national
qualities in which . othes are lacking,
Germany, France and Russia, in compar
ing their gigantic military budget with
the comparatively small outlays of Eng
land, for her defense, must certainly feel
vexed and still more must their respect
ive people envy the British citizen who
does not feel the burden of compulsory
military service and still enjoyea the
liberty, might and power of the greatest
empire that ever existed.
The Russian, like all Asiatics, is
carefully hiding his feelings. He im
itates - the Englishman in habits and
manners. He acknowledges bis mental
superiority. In appearence he respects
him. ever, but more deep-seated in his
hatred and his efforts to ouet him in
Asia are redoubled.
"In Germany the relation is totally
different. Since 1870, the . formerly
modest, quiet and inoffensive German
has fallen into the vice of self-adrnira-tion
and one has only to mention the
spreading of the English language all
over the globe, the gigantic commercial
relations of Great Britain and the ub
quity of the union jack in all seas to
maise anger and dislike.''
There is much more on this subject
and the king of the Belgians concludes
with a prophecy of many disturbances
similar to that ef last week, but final
British triumph over all adversaries.

Clarence to
New, Yobk, Jan. 20. A dispatch
t
the Herald from Colon says ;
It is rumored here that the Mosquito
Indians, including Chief Andrew Henry,
will invite Chief Clarence to return to,
the Moequito territory. Chief Clarence
was deposed by the Nicaraguans in 1894,
and subsequently went to Jamaica,
where, it was said, he was in receipt
of a pension from the British srovern-
Lment
Great Britain refused to recognize the
new Nicaraguan government set up in
Bluefields after the deposition of Chief
Clarence, and out oi this grew the trou
bles that resulted in Great Britain send
ing a squadron to Corinto to enforce the
payment of indemnity demanded by
Great Britain for the expulsion of the
British vice-consul at Bluefields. Chief.
Henry was appointed aB the successor of
Chief Clarence.

Editou Chkoxiclb:
The friends of Davis Hicks of Kings
ley, throughout city and country, will be
pained to learn that he is yet fur from
recovery, and that late reports from
Portland, where he has been for some
months, say that in all possibility am
putation'of his leg will be necessary to
save his life. For the benefit of those
who do not know the circumstances of
this case, I will say that something over
a year ago Mr. Hicks was taken ill with
a disease which settled, in his legs and1
made it impossible for him to walk with
out crutches. For months he was under
the . care of numerous physicians
throughout the county, but received
little benefit. Soon his means, which
were ample for the eupport of himself
and family in health, were exhausted
and hope of recovery very distant. At
this time his many friends on Tygh
Ridge and in Dulur came to the rescue
and by giving a ball at Dufur, a suffi
cient sum was raised to send him to a
Portland hospital, where an operation
was performed and where he Las re
mained for several months.
The medicine used in his treatment is
very expensive, and it is learned that
his funds are exhausted.
Friends have again concluded to come
to bis relief and a grand ball will be
given at Do fur on Friday evening, Jan
24th, for bis benefit. There will be no
expense account, so every dollar taken-
in will go direct - where it is .intended.
The I. O. G. T. have given the use of
their hall free, and the best of music
will be furnished on the same terms.
The ladies of Kingsley and Dufur will
furnish the supper and all who attend
are assured oi having a good time,
the worth of their money and the pleas
ure of knowing they have assisted a
worthy man in his misfortunes.
Tickets for the dance and supper will '
be $1 and any friends in The Dalles, who
cannot attend and would assist, can do
so by calling on E. Jacobsen.
