MORE TROOPS
TO GO TO
SANTIAGO
The Administration Considers. Vigorons
Steps Absolutely Neressars to Pre
serve Order.
Washington, Aug,. 13. Dispatches of
importance were were received and con
sidered at the war department today.
Immediately after the arrival of Alger at
the department he had a conEultation
with Corbin. The conference was a
protracted one. They were considering
the dispatches received from Merritt and
from Santiago.
Conditions at Santiago are causing a
great deal of uneasiness, and troops will
bo ordered there very eoon. Already
orders have been ieued directing the
Fifth regular infantry to proceed to San
tfego. Inquiries have been made as to
the condition of the immune regiments
which have not yet sailed, with a view
of sending them to Santiago.
The government intends to take vigor
ous measures to preserve peace and
keep order at Santiago and the territory
under United Slates control. The em
phatic order iesued to Law ton a few
days ago will be followed by orders
sending enough disciplined- troops to
enable him to carry out the instructious
of the secretary.' As a further step in
this direction, the president today di
rected that the Twenty-third Kansas
regiment, colored, be dispatched to San
tiago, to form an army of occupation in
Cjba.

THE ARKANSAW TRAVELER, JR.
T. Allen McQuary Arrives In the City
on His Strange Mission Aronnd the
World for an jlrkansaw Girl
and S5000 OO.
Last evening a large throng gathered
on Second street in front of Daut's op
tical parlors to listen to the youth, T.
Allen McQaary, which the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat has termed "the Mis
souri Don Qaixote," who arrived in this
city Monday on his way around the
world for $5000 and a bride, the daugh
ter of a rich Southern planter.
It appears that McQuary fell desper
ately in love with the young lady and
as the feeling was mutual they desired
to be married immediately. The old
gentleman objeced and finally as a bluff
offered McQuary hia daughter and $5000
if be wonld make the trip around the
world from east to west starting penni
lees in Missouri on May 19, 1897, and re
turning 18 months later, having made
the trip on horseback and by water, and
forciDg him to make the expenses of the
trip on his way.
McQuary's history of his experiences
as told ia the little book which he sells
alter his lectures ia an interesting one
and too long to publish here, while his
lectures are interesting and instructive.
Mr. McQuary will lecture again this
evening and has choeen The Dalles as
the place where he will eecure a horse
and begin his long ride to Missouri and
has no doubt that he will be able to
reach his destination by the date which
is set for his arrival October 19th of this
year. The young globe trotter is about
24 years of age, of pleasing appearance
and an interesting talker. He is accord
ing to the contract dressed in the garb
of a knight of the Sixteenth century
and carries with him records and docu
ments - sufficient to convince the most
skeptical that he is not a fake.
SPECIAL MARKET LETTER.
Issued by the Union Stock Yards for the
Benefit of Stockmen.
The corn crop conditions continue to
improve, and the proBpect, taking the
whole United States into account, is
now better than at the same time laet
year, although in the principal produc
ing and feeding states there has been
injury in spots, especially so in many
parts of Kansas and - in a part of Ne
braska. It is now conceded that there
will be -plenty of corn at reasonable
prices to meet all demands for feeding
both cattle and eheep, and therelore it
is fair to conclude that the demand for
b)th feeding cattle and feeding sheep
will continue good and at fair prices.
Receipts of western grass beef cattle
and also of corn-fed beef cattle continue
moderater Prices on both declined a
little during the early part of the week,
but have since regained it all and the
market closed firm. On Monday and
Tuesday the receipts of stock cattle and
feeders were the heaviest of the season
and prices declined sharply. Since
then, however, part of tha loss has been
gained and the market is closing only
about 10c lower than the close of last
week. We quote western grass beef
steers at $3.76 to $4.40. Cows and hei
fers $2.73 to $4.25. Yearling steers
$4.20 to $4.70: two-year-olds $3.80 t4
$4.40 ; three and four-year-olds $3.65 to
$4.40.
Receipts of western eheep continue
very light; trade ia active and prices
higher. We quote western wethers
$3.70 to $4.25 ; ewes $3 to $3.75 ; yearl
ings $4 to $4.75 ; lambs $4.25 to $6.

Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
aa shown on th6 rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are $60,000, aamount al
most equal to the indebtedneea of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs ehonld
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquenta to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. With a bountiful ciop now
in eight, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for the non-payment of
taxes. The sheriff ia bound by oath to
comply with the terma of the warranta
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 aale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.
