Convention at Cavite Debating Whether
or Not to Join Aguinaldo in Send
ing Representatives to Plead their
Cause Before the Commission.
New Yobk, Aug. 29. A dispatch to
the World from Manila eays :
President JJeKinley wants Admiral
Dewey to go to Paris to adviae the Amer
ican members of the peace commission
bat the admiral believes he can be of
more service to his country by remain
ins at his post here. He will forward
by mail to Washington or to Paris a full
report on the conditions here, with
some recommendations, but he will not
attend the eitting ot the peac9 commis
eion personally unless specifically or
dered to do so by his government. If
peace should be definitely agreed to, the
admiral desires to bere for prompt fu
ture operations.
General Merritt, however, will go to
Paris at the president's suggestion, leav
ing here on the transport China, which
is about to return to San Francisco. Ma
nila and its Euburbs are very quiet, and
the general believes he can absent him
self without jeopardizing American in
terests. In his absence General Otis
will act as military governor over the
islands.
Aguinaldo will send representatives to
Paris to plead the cause of the Philip
pine -islanders. A convention of Filipi
nos is now in session at Cavite concern
ing whether they shall co-operate in that
pre j fet or not. Attending it are some
influential islanders who fought with
the Spaniards against Aguinaldo, but
now have buried the hatchet and hope
to see a native government established
The others include active insurgent
leaders, representative native civUiane
and half-bloods.
This convention will probably eend a
delegation to Paris, but Aguinaldo is re
solved to be represented betore the peace
commission, anyhow. If the native
government votes the proposition down
he will send personal agents to submit
officially the views and aspirations of
of the insurgent leader. .
This native embassy, whether com
missioned by the islanders at large, or
by the insurgent chief, doubtless will
urge that the peace treaty provide for a
native republic under an American pro
tectorate. The commission sent by the insurg
ents will certainly protest strenuously
against a restoration of Spanish control.
It will ask that the archipelago be given
to the United States as a possession
rather than be subjected again to the
blight of Spanish rule.
Aguinaldo eays that personally he is
favorable to the Americane,but his army
is fighting for complete independence.
There is little, faith, however, in spe
cious promisee.
THE UTOPIAN
SCHEME
Russia's Plan for an International Con
ference to Perpetuate Universal
' Peace Not Likely to be Favorably
Received.
Wasaington, Aug. 29. The circular
note directed by the Russian foreign
minister to members of the diplomatic
body at St. Petersburg, bag attracted the
earnest attention of officials here. It is
supposed from the terms of the note
published that a copy was directed to
Hitchcock, United States ambassador at
the Russian capital, bat so far nothing
bas been heard by cable from him to
that effect. -
It is believed that the victory achieved
by the United States in the late war was
contributing factor in the preparation
of the note. It U surmised the victory
made it clear . to European statesmen
that to maintain the balance of power,
thej would be obliged to redouble their
expenditures on account of the army
and navy, or else they might be out
stripped by the United States.
The-official mind hero looks upon the
Russian project tor a general disarma
ment as Utopian at this time. And
while any statement as to the attitude
of the United States toward such a con
ference as propoeed is purely conjectural
in advance of receipt of an invitation,
the impression prevails that our govern
ment would not care to tnke any action
or part in its deliberations.
CUSTOMS AT
HAVANA DECUBA
Blanco Proposes to Make Them Conform
to Those Which are Now in Vogue
in Santiago.
New York, Aug. 29. A Santiago dis
patch says :
General Blanco has sent a message to
General Toral, asking what duties have
been imposed at Santiago, with a view
to regulating the tariffs at Havana.
At the request of the merchants, Cus
toms Collector Donaldson has asked
General Lawton to decide whether or
not duty paid on goods entered at the
port of Santiago shall be refunded ani
taneshipment to such ports as Cienfue
gos and Manzanillo, which are still in
possession of the Spaniards.
Plans are being prepared and surveys
made for a street sewerage echeme in
Santiago.
A CLASH SEEMS
VERY IMMINENT
Chinese Minister at St. Petersburg Says
England Bas Made Demands That
Will Not be Considered.
London, Aug. 29. A special from
Shanghai says:
It is stated bere that the Chineeo
minister at St. Petersburg has reported
to his government that in his opinion
the Chinese question will precipitate a
etruggle between Great Britain and Rus
sia. This state of affair?, he eays, is a re
sult of the British ambassador having
presented a note at St. Petersburg of
such a peremptory nature, pemanding
freedom of enterprise in regions where
Russian influence is supposed to pre
dominate, that Count Moravieff cannot
accept it.
The Chinese minister indeed expect
that a conflict will certainly break out
before the first of the year.
SUFFERING
IN RUSSIA
Crop Failure in Certain Sections Causes
Great Distress.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 29. Owing to
the failure of the harvests in seven dis
tricts of the government of Kansan and
in the provinces of Samaria, Saratoff,
Sibierk, Viatke and Perma, where the
crops are almost worthless, great distress
prevails. Animals in great numbers are
dying of starvation. Unless the promised
government supplies are speedily cent,
the suffering will be terrible.
(The districts alluded to in the above
have but little bearing on the Russian
crop as a whole, and the government can
probably take care of the sufferers with
out materially reducing the enormous
exportable - surplus that Russia has
premised this year.)
MONUMENT ..

Moscow, Aug. 29. Following the un
veiling of the monument to Alexander

GEN. MEREITT CONDEMNED
English Correspondent Criticises Amer
icans Salisbury Urged to Pre
vent Spain Regain Control.
London, Aug. 29. A dispatch from
Manila to a news agency, dated August
25, via Hong Kon?, today, says :
"The friction between the Americans
and natives requires exceptional ability
to avoid total alienation. I find that
several high American officials, ot medi
ocre education, are utterly nnacquainted
with Oriental iJea?, and unable to un
derstand the primitive races. Most oi
the Americans are deficient in patience,
and numerous trifling misunderstand
ings iuteneify the friction, I believe the
Americans too hard. The American
censor absolutely profits by seniing of a
single word about the Cavite incident of
yesterday, and he threatens to expel any
correspondent who mentions it.
A deputation from the press is going
to General Merritt to protest against
his action. The affair began in a drunken
American shooting, and native sentries
tried to shoot him. In consequence of
the melee, four natives and one Ameri
can were killed, and It is now generally
misreported as being a deliberate inang
oration of hostilities. General Merritt
returned their arms to the company of
natives who fired upon the Americans,
presumably inadvertently. The natives
assert that Aguinaldo forced General
Merritt to liberate them and return their
weapons.
"The Americans condemn General
Merrltt's conduct."
The same correspondent cables that
the Americans are only "partly patrol
ing the town."
A Marrow Escape.
Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada
E. Hart, of Groton, 8. D. "Was taken
with a bad cold which settled on my
longs ; congh set in and finally termin
ated in Consumption. Four doctors
gave mo up, saying I could live but a
short time. I gave myself up to my
Savior, determined if I could not stay
with my friends on earth, I would meet
my absent ones above. My husband
was advised to get Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight
bottles. It has 'cured me, and thank
God I am saved and now a well and
healthy woman." Trial bottles free at

Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
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 bard 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 delinquents 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 clop now
in eight, 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.
Robert Kelly,
Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.
Dated, August 4, 1898.
The President's Congratulations.
. Washington, Aug. 26. President Mc
Kinley has written the following letter
congratulating the " army and navy
Christian commission on its work
among the soldiers during the war:
"Executive Mansion, Aug. 26, 1898.
John J. McCook, Esq., Chairman Ex
ecutive Committee, Army and Navy
Commission, New York City : My Dear
Sir I have noted with much pleasure
the admirable work that the army and
navy commission, organized by the in
ternational commission of the Young
Men's Christian Association, has ac
complished for the physical and soocial
welfare . of our soldiers and sailors.
Hoping that the good work may be con
tinued, I am, faithfully yours,-'.
William M'Kikley."
TIffi EXCELLENCE OF SYBUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care end skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California, Fig Sybup
Co. only, and we wish, to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing1 the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding- the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pat
ties. The high standing- of the Cali
fornia Fia Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs bas
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company .

Deafness Cannot be Cared
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you Cave a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.
