COMRADES OF WAR
Five Hundred Old Veterans
Called on McKinley.
THE REFIBUCAX COMMITTEE
It Will Endeavor to Induce McKlDloy
to Hate a Tour of the Western
States.
Canton, July 16. Five hundred bid
veterans, comrades of the war, called on
Major McKinley this afternoon. They
came from Cleveland on a special train
and they called to congratulate him as
"comrades," and not as Republicans .or
Democrats, as thuir spokesman said
. Addresses were made by Commander
Hngh Buncbley and others. Major
McKinley responded in part as follows
"Fellow Citizens. I respond to your
call with special gratification. Nothing
gives me greater pleasure than to meet
at my home my comrades in the civil
war. Ties of fraternity and friendship
grow Btronger and dearer' as the years
recede and the old gard, one by one, is
called borne.
"There hr.s brer, no time since they
laid down their arms when we had
greoter need for patriotic men than
now, and a reeponse to the crisis of the
hour will now come from all sections of
onr common country. Great applause.
We have reached a point in our history
when all men who lore their country
HiUBt unite to defeat by their ballot the
forces which now assail our country's
honor. The struggle, which is upon us,
involving national good faith and honor,
will enlist their unitel and earnest ser
vices until those who are arrayed against
the public faith shall be routed and dis
persed. Financial dishonor is the
threatened danger now and good men
will obliterate lines of party in an
united effort to uphold American honor.
THE REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE
Cleveeand, July 16.- -The national
Republican executive committee today
appointed Perry 6. Heath, of Cincin
nati, as press and literary agent, and ap
pointed a committee, consisaing of
Hanna, Durking of Indiana, Dawes oi
Illinois, Ferrin of Wisconsin and
Heath, to select the offices for tbe com
mittee in Chicago and New York. This
committee will be in Chicago Monday.
The committee will visit McKinley at
Canton to lay before him the plans out
lined and ask his opinion.
After tbe meeting, Mr. Hanna stated
that no action had yet been taken rela
tive to the appointment of the ninth
member of tbe executive committee. It
is believed tbe committee, while at
Canton, will endeavor to induce Mr.
McKinley to make a trip through the
West, or at least to deliver some
speeches in that section of the country.
Some of the WeBtern committeemen are
strongly in favor of having tbe cam
paign opened in Omaha or Lincoln, Neb.
MORS BONDS IMMINENT.
Another Sale Maj Be Expected in the
Hear Future.
Washington, July 17. It is useless to
conceal the fact that should the with
drawal of gold continue at the preeent
rate, another bond issue,will be neces
sary to sustain the credit of the govern
ment. While the administration has
not expected to be able to pull through
until March 4 without another eale of
bonds, it did hope to defer the issue un
til late in the fall, or, if possible, to the
first of next year. The withdrawals on
Monday were $675,300, of which f 375,000
is for immediate exportation. The bal
ance will probably be hoarded.
Tbe disposition to hoard gold has
been notably apparent for several days.
On Saturday nearly $125,000 was drawn
for this purpose, and on the day before
the withdrawals were nearly $1,000,000,
a large part of which was to be kept in
this country.

Port Angeles, July 17. Considerable
excitement kas been created in this
city by the announcement that gold has
been discovered in the beach sand eight
miles east of here. A single pan of the

twenty of the most desirable have al

to use machines for extracting the gold
from tbe sand.
Old settlers say that the beacb'at this
same point was mined for gold twenty
years ago, and that at that time miners
made tcood wages. The members of the
company organized are W. K. Carl

A CRUSHING DEFEAT
Spanish Column Utterly
Routed by Maceo.
GENERAL YNCLAN WAS CAPTURED
Government Soldiers Were Drawn Into
a Trap and Fired on From All
Sides.
Key West, July 18. The Spaniards
under General Snarez Tnclan have sus
tained a crashing defeat at the hands of
the insurgents under Antonio Maceo.
Not only was Ynclan's column defeated
with heavy loss, but it is currently re
ported in Havana that the Spanish gen
eral himself was captured and is now
held a prisoner by Maceo.
The battle is said to have occurred on
July 15, near Maceo's stronghold, in
Pinar del Rio. For the last two weeks
tbe rebels have been very aggressive,
and small parties have repeatedly at
tacked the trocha, causing the Spaniards
much annoyance.
Ynctan wag ordered to drive back these
detached bands of Cubans, and for this
purpose took with him 2000 men.
Maceo seems to have expected such a
movement, and arranged to ambush the
Spaniards. He stationed a large force
in a favorable spot, and ordered his de
tached bands to draw Ynclan into the
trap. Tbe Spaniards followed the in
surgent skirmishers incautiously and
fell into the ambush. Then the Cubans
opened fire from all sides, which tbrew
the Spaniards into confusion.
While the Spaniards were thus beset,
the Cubans charged and completely
routed their foes. Ynclan made a des
perate effort to rally his demoralized
forces, but was surrounded by the Cub
ans and compelled to surrender.
It is said in Havana that the Span
iards were pursued almost to the trocba,
and lost more than 300 killed and
wounded. There were 14 officers among
tbe killed. The Cubans here also say
that Maceo will hold Ynclan as a host
age lo save the lives of prominent insur
gent officers who have been captured by
the Spaniards. One of those officers is
Capote. If this rebel leader is shot by
the Spaniards, it is thought Ynclan will
meet the same fate at the hands of
Maceo.
WHAT MACEO WANTS.
Few Cartridges and a Few Cannon
Wonld Enable Him to Win.
New York. July 19. The World pub
lisbea the following correspondence
from the headquarters of Maceo, Tomas
de San Jcse, Pinar del Rio, June 26 :
"The want of a few cartridges and a
few cannon," said General Antoma
Maceo, "is all that makes our govern
ment use nature's rocks insterd of brick
and mortar for a White House."
Asked how many and what arms and
ammunition he needs to guarantee to
win the war in, eay two months, he said :
"I could do it with 20,000 Remington
rifles, small calibre, 150 cartridges, 10
cannon and 100,000 rounds of artillery
ammunition. I might do it with much
ess. I would invariably attack the
Spaniards and attack them after
maneuvering their columns into cul de
sacs and I would take an important
town. The supplies captured there
would assist in the capture of the next
one, and so on until 1 would be able to
storm Havana with its fully equipped
army of 100,000 men and 50 pieces of
artillery.
"In addition to our 60,000 armed
men, we have fully 20,000 more men
armed with only machetes and revolvers,
thus giving us a probable total of 80,000
revolutionists in tbe field.".
He estimates tbe Cubans have seven
cartridges to each soldier.
New Trial Ordered.
Among the twenty-five opinions hand
ed down by the supreme court at Pendle
ton Saturday, was the following in the
case of Z. F. Moody, respondent, vs. W.
Richards, appellant, from Wasco
county. The lower court is reversed
and a new trial ordered. This action
was brought to recover money alleged to
be due on the breach of a contract. The
plaintiff alleges that he advanced to de
fendant $439.81 on account of delivery in
Portland a given amount of wheat of
pecified grades, on the condition that if
tbe wheat was not up to the standard
agreed upon, the plaintiff should be re
imbursed, according to the ruling differ
ence between the grade furnished and
specified. The defendant alleges that
the wheat was to have been delivered
upon absolute and unconditional sale.
Judgment was rendered by the lower
court against the defendant for $126.
The lower court failed to find that the
defendant agreed to repay the difference
between the value of wheat furnished
and that specified, and npon this it was
contended the findings did not support
the judgment. The court holds that the
alleged promise to repay the difference
between the values in the grades of
wheat was material, and that tbe parties
were entitled to a finding upon this is
sue. Such finding is held to be India
pensable, even without a request there
for, hence a new trial is ordered.
Finest of tbe Season. "
The opinion of several who have at
tended tbe band concerts regularly is
that the one yesterday was the finest of
all. ' Every number was vey pretty
"A .Night in Berlin" was a very pretty
combination of German airs interlarded
among less familiar but more classic
music. The cornet dnet was charming,
and the cornet solo was also pretty
The descriptive piece received the first
encore of the season, and though some
what surprised, the band responded.
Pleasant features of the piece are the
singing of birds and the mill slowing
down. 'The concerts are made more
pleasant by the free distribution of pro
grams, which enable one to have a better
understanding of the music. The band
deserve much credit for submitting to
the heat and discomfort of these bot
days to cater to the pleasure of others
by playing to them. The audience,
however, is always appreciative and
honor the band with generally close at
tention. Next Sunday the concert wil
begin later owing to the heat of the
afternoon.
Republican League.
A league of Republican clubs was or
ganized at Salem Saturday. Fifteen
clubs were . represented. Resolutions
declaring allegiance to Republican prin
ciples, as enunciated by the St. Louis
platform, and eulogizing McKinley as
the exponent of the protective system,
upon which is based hope for the laborer
and producer, were received with ap
plause and adopted without a dissenting
vote. A resolution also demanding the
abolition of useless commissions, and
that state and county officials be placed
upon reasonable salaries, was adopted,
To the surprise of the audience, Hon,
Steven Staats of Polk county responded
to a call, and in an earnest speech de
nounced Bryan ism and announced him
self for McKinley. Mr. Staats has been
a life-long Democrat, and has represent'
ed Polk county in tbe legislature.

Bird Caught in Colt's Tall.
Birds that employ hair in the build
ing of their nests come to grief . in
strange ways. A gentleman who pos
sessed several colts one day noticed a
small bird entangled in -the tail of one
of his colts. It had evidently been on
a search for hair and had become en
snared. Cases of birds getting their
feet entangled in wool or string are
well-known and death usually ensues if
human help is not forthcoming.

TROUBLE SEEMS INEVITABLE
Question of Indorsing Bryan Causes
All the Difficulty Both Sides
Are Determined.
St. Louis, July 20. Senator Jones of
Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, said today: "I
hope tbe Populist convention will en
dorse Bryan and Sewall, and since I
arrived I have received a good deal of
encouragment in that hope. Jones
will be in conference with tbe Populist
leaders all day.
The belief continnes generally preva
lent that a bolt is among the strong
probabilities of the Populist convention,
whatever course ia decided upon by tbe
majority. Delegates are constantly ar
rivine and as the crowd grows larger it
becomes more evident that there is in
tensity of feeling over the one question
at issue.
This question is whether to endorse
Bryan and Sewall or nominate a separ
ate ticket. In a general way the con
test ia between the North and South
Northern men, as a class, contend that
in the endorsement of Bryan lies tbe
only hope of making the influence of
the party felt or achieving practical re
suits, while Southern men, remember-
fifig their many contests with the Demo
crats of their section, maintain that
such a course is utterly suicidal.
Aiiddie-oi-tne-road l'opulists express
great confidence in their strength. Up
to noon more than 100 delegates to the
convention registered at their headquar
ters. The most of them were pro
nounced in favor of a straight ticket
and will fight against the nomination or
endorsement of. Bryan. More than a
majority of the states were represented
Some claim a two-thirds majority. It
was Btated at tbe conference today that
Taubeneck had given up the fight, hav
ing been scared by the attitude of the
leaders on tbe ground. At headquar
ters many expressions were heard indi
cating disapproval of the endorsement
of Bryan. There is not much said
about candidates, middle-of-the-road
men saying they are prefecting arrange
ments to control the convention.
Ignatius Donnelly Bays that although
be was in favor of maintaining the peo
ple's party and putting a straight ticket
in the field there was every indication
that tbey would be overridden and
Bryan endorsed. . .
SOMEWHAT THREATENING,
Populists of California Send a Letter
to Bryanr
Kansas-City, July 20. While en
route to the National Populist Conven
tion, the California delegation, 39 strong,
last night issued an open letter to the
Democratic presidential nominee, Will
iam J. Bryan .urging him to go before the
country as the nominee of the Populist
party. Tbe letter was composed and dis
patched while the delegation was wait
ing for the train to St. Louis. Dr. G. W.
Day wait, of San Francisco being chosen
secretary and instructed to write it.
The letter says in part :
"If you will accept the nomination
from the Populist party, declaring your
self a Populist, you will become a leader
to whom will rush every reformer, be be
eilverite, Democrat or Republican, and
not only be elected yourself, but also
elect a congress, the law-making power.
This is the opportunity of your life,
which, if taken advantage of, will send
your name down in history as the savior
of our country by the means of Popu
lism. If you don't do it. we must, in
defense of our principles, put another
nominee in tbe field. Can you thus be
elected?"
