SEC. LONG'S PLANS
FOR THE NAVY
Many of the Auxiliary Cruisers and
Yachts -will be Retained at the
Conclusion of the War.
Washington, Aug. 4. So soon w
peace is dec'ared Secretary Long, of .
navy, will immediately take steps tc
organize the Pacific, Asiatic and E
pean equadrone. Secretary Long as
already given much time to the cctsid-
eration of the condition of the navy alter
the close of the war which is now at
hand, and has held many consultations
with the chiefs of the bureaus concern
ing reorganization of a regular naval
service. '
The secretary has planned to retain
in the eervice several of the auxiliary
cruisers and yachts which have been do
ing such effective service against the
enemv in Cuban waters. As to which
vessels will comprise the several squad
ron cannot vet be determined. -
Strong reinforcements are likely to be
sent before long to Admiral Dewey.
However, to each squadron in foreign
waters will be attached vessels of such
cowers and fleetness as will fully dem
onstrate to the foreign powers the abil-
itv of Uncle Sam to care for bis own.
DIFFICULTY OF -FINDING
ENOUGH
TROOP SHIPS
Fears Expressed that Sufficient Vessels
Cannot be Found to Carry the
Troops from San Francisco.-
Chicago August 4. A special from
San Francisco says : -
There will be no more expec"itionaiy
troops sent to San Francisco en route to
the Philippines. If General Merritt de
mands more troops than the 8000 al
ready here they will be sent from the
Atlantic coast via the Mediteranean sea
and the Suez canal.
General Merriam has made strenuous
efforts to engage the transports neces
sary for the soldiers now here and be
may be compelled to send some of these
by the eastern ronto. The supply of
vessels on the Pacific coast is about ex
hausted and the condition of affairs has
been brought to the attention of the
California delegation in congress and
should the government be compelled to
send troops by the Suez canal, the fact
will be played as a trump card in favor
of the Nicaragu i canal when the ques
tion comes up for settlement in the next
congress.
Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
The delinqent taxes of. Wasco, coonly,
as shown on th6 rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are 60,000, an amount al
most equal to the indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las 6hown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de;.
linquent roil commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. With a bountiful crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for the non-payment of
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure and sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.

AGUINilltDO
Since the Arrival of General Merrill Apinaldo Has Made Overtures
For Closer Co-operation To Firm Measures are Attribut
ed the Causes of this Change.
MANILAAug. 3, via
entire change since the arrival
to American interests-in a semi-dictational way, he has made overtures for closer co-operation
against the common enemy, the Spanish. -
The change of heart has undoubtedly come of firm measures taken to curb the im
petuosity of the insurgents, who have been carried to the verge ot indiscretion by their re
cent victories. -
Aguinaldo has suggested that American officers be
a portion of the insurgent forces, and as furtner evidence of
be permitted to march through
session of it.
Withdramaf of the
Troops is Counseled
All of the American Generals Unite in an Address to Major
General Shafter.
Wasiiixgton, Aug, 3. A special dis
patch from Santiago de Cuba conveys
the following:
A meeting eammoned by General
Shafter was held this morning at head
quarters, and in the .presence of every
commanding and medical officer of the
Fifth army corps, the" general read a
cable message from Secretary Alger, or
dering him, at the recommendation of
Surgeon-General Stern burg, to move the
army into the interior to San Louis,
where it-is healthier. As a result of
this meeting General Shafter will insist
upon the immediate withdrawal of the
army to the north within at most two
weeks. -' !
The following letter written by Roos
velt was sent as an explanation of the
situation: '

medical officers called by you at. the pal
EXPEDITION
LEAVES TOMORROW
Transports Lakme and Charles Nelson
to Be Used for Transporting the
Troops Trip Will Be Hard.
San Francisco, Aag. 4. The troops
of the First New York regiment of vol
unteers will embark on the steamer
Charles Nelson for Honolulu early to
morrow morning. About the same honr
the battalion engineers wiil board the
steam schooner Lakme, and both ves
sels will probably 6a:l early Saturday
mornin? for the Hawaiian islands. The
prospects of the men who compose this
expedition for an enioyable voyage are
not of the brightest. The Charles Nel
son is a dirty looking coaster," smelling
viciously of oil and .bilge water, with
close stuffy quarters for the officers, to
say nothing ofthoseot the men below
decks. The Lakme is nothing more
than a steam schooner, even dirtier and
more, ill smelling than the Btearaer Nel
son. By contracting for these vessels
Major-General Otis has caused much
adverse comment in military circles
here. Of course they say openly that
Otis exceeded his jurisdiction in engag
ing vessels for the troops' that were not
to depart ; for weeks '. after he left-tbe

ATTITUDE
IS COjflPliETEltY CHANGED
Hong Kong, Aug. 5. Aguinaldo's attitude has undergone an
of General Merrit. Instead
the city of Manila alter the
'
ace this morning, we were' all, as you
know, unanimous as to what ehonld be
done with the army. To keep us her,
In the opinion of every officer com
manding a division in the brigade, will
simply involve the destruction of thous
ands. There is no possible , reason for
not shipping practically the whole com
mand North at once. Yellow fever cases
are very few in the cavalry division.
But in this dhisiou there have been
fifteen hundred cases of malarial fever.
Not a man has died from it, but the
whole command is so weakened and
shattered as to be ripe for dying like
rotten sheep. When a real yellow
fever epidemic strikes us,and it is bound
to do so if we stay here at the height of
the sickness seaeon, August and the be
ginning of September, it will, in all
human probability, mean. an appaling
disasterfor the surgeons here estimate
that over half of the army, if we are
here during the sickly eeason, will die.
LITTLE DELAY
ANTICIPATED
A Preliminary Agreement is Likely to
be Effected Within a Week Which
Will Practically End the American-Spanish
War.
Washington-, Aug. 4. A lona confer
ence between the president. Secretary
Day and Secretary Long was held tbiff
morning. Secretary Day when he join
ed the president after the latter had
been conferring with the eecretary of
the navy for: three-quarters of an hour,
looked worn and fatigued as a conse
quence of the night conference with the
French ambassador. . They were to
gether going over the peace proposition
and it was 1 o'clock this morning before
the conference ended. Secretary Day
full confidence that there will belittle
serious delay over the closing of the de
tails of peace. Those who have-gone
over the ground and conferred with
officials express the belief that peace is
very nearly detained. One administra
tion man who talked with the president
and others today predicted that a pre
liminary agreement which would prac
tically settle the war would be effected
within a week.

"The fever immune regiments ordered
here are sufficient to garrison the city
and surrounding towns, and there is ab
solutely nothing for us to do here, and

I write only because I cannot see our
men go to destruction without striving
so far as lies within me to aver a doom
as fearful as it is unnecessary and un
deserved." After Rooevelt had broken the ice,
ali the American general officers united
in an address to General Shafter, ex
pressing the opinion that the army
should be taken at once to some point
cn the northern sea coast of the United
States.
The address is positive in the state
ment that the entire army must be
moved at once or the greater portion of
it would perish.

Washington', Aug. 4. M."" Cambon
has been notified by the president that
the modified terms of peace submitted
to the Spanish government are final,
and that hostilities, cannot ceaso until
they are accepted in their cntirity. The
administration manifested thorough
confidence in Spain's ultimate accept
ance of the terras imposed, and 1 er noti
fication to that effect is expected within
the next few days. Explanations of
