SPAIN IS READY
TO CONCEDE
' OUR DEMANDS
Figures on the Cost to Spain
of the Straggle. '
Government of the Opinion, that With
a Strong Navy There Might Have
Been a Different Story to Tell Con
cerning the War. -
- 2kw York, Sept. 12. A Washinjton
special eays :
According to a report received here
it ia evident that Spain deeply deplores
her fail ore to add a large number of
ships to her navy instead of applyinjr at
least half of the appropriations made by i
the cortes to the main'-enmce of the
. navy.
It is appreciated by the Madrid gov
eminent that in view of the condition of
her treasury and the further fact that
ter naval force is now greatly inferior,
it would be useless to continue the Strug
gle, especially as there is - no nation in
EuroDe willine to support her in case
she should azain resort to the arbitra
ment of arms.
- Because of this the authorities have no
Tiason to believe that there will be any
lerioua bitch in the negotiations of the
ceace commission, and while they ex
pect the Spaniards will do everything
possible to delay the completion of the
treaty, believing they may bring about
complications advantageous to their gov
ernment, the American representatives
will be in a position at any time to
bring them to terms by a simple threat
to withdraw.
Aside from the loss of her colonies and
the ships destroyed in battle, the war
has cost Spain $334,800,000. Informa
tion to this effect has been received at
the navy department from the naval at
taches of this government abroad. In1
eluding the cost of preparations- in an
ticipating the war bngun by Spain in
.May, 1895, these turns have been raieed
and expended:
From the sale of 322,944 Cuban notes,
$25,242,255 ; from tho sale of 60,000 Cu
ban notes, of 1896, $5,783,897; loan of
400,000,000 pesetas on the etistome guar
antee, $74,400,000 ; from the sale of sil
ver, etc , $806,338; loan of the bank of
Spain cn the Cuban guarantee? $58,400,
000; loan of the bank of Spain on the
customs goarantee, $58,200,000; loan of
the bank of Spain on guarantee of con
tribntions, $32,000,000; loan of the bank
of Spain, 4 per cent internal debt, $20,-
000,000; Philippine taxes, $37,000,000.
These earns do not inclvde debts - for
transports, etc., contracted by the gov
ernment which are placed at approxi
mately $62,000,000.
RAILROAD RATE
WAR ENDED
All Western Roads Agree to Restore
Old Rates Sept 21 History of the
Struggle and Its -Origin.
Chicago, Sept. 12 All Western roads
today agreed to a restoration of pas
senger rates, to be effective September
21. ': - - :
The rate war above referred to has
been raging the greater part of a year.
' It has so demoralized railroad business
that the roads are all losing money. But
for an exceptionally heavy luc.il traffic,
many of them would now be in bank
ruptcy. The whole cobwebbed system of rail
- roads in the Uoited Slates has been af
fected, the war having been extended'
into the remotest districts.
This rate war will go down in history
as the great railroad war. The fight
originated over the Canadian Pacific
.1 rr . . 1 1 . . .
.uiaereniiais, anu sirange 10 say mat
road made the first open cut. The
American roads claimed the Canadian
Pacific was a superior road,' and not
entitled to differentials.-
All this might have been adjusted,
but the bitter competition for Alaska
trade farther complicated matters and
prcuipuniru lue war.- iub vanaaian
(Pacific claimed the American roads had
violated their tariff agreement, Xnd were
cutting races secretly, men it an
nounced an open cut,. The American
roads showed their hands and slashed
back. Then slashing commenced right
and left, and the railroad world was
turned topsy-tnrvy and bewildered. No
man could eee the end. Meeting after
meeting was held for the purpose of
restoring rates, bnt the Canadian Pacific
railroad held aloof, claiming tbe Ameri
can roads would stand by no agreements.
Bailroad managers met bnt to adjourn
and slash rates still deeper.
The Southern Pacific was the last road
to give in. It entered the fight but
recently. The minnte the Canadian
Pacific railroad indicated its willingness
to abolish differentials, that moment
railroad men decided the war was ended.
The telegram received proves they were
.right. . - - '
THE SPANIARDS
OVERLOOK OUR
SUBJECTS AT LUZON
The Condition at Manila is
" Considered Critical.
Dewey Asks for More Ships Rash As
sertions Made by the Spaniards-
Accepting Aid From Germany
Convention This Week.
Maxila, Sept. 12. Rear-Admiral
Dewev says he considers the situation
critical. He has asked for an additional
cruiser and a battle-ship. The Spaniards
assert that Germany will take a coaling
station here, and that Spain will retain
the remainder of the islands. The last
Spanish garrisons at Ilocos and Lagua
net have surrendered, and tbe whole
island of Luzon is in tbe hands of tbe
insurgents, except Manila and Cavite,
Aguinaldo went to Lelollos on Friday
He has announced his intention of con
vening an assembly of the Filipinos on
September 15 in order to decide upon
the policy to ' be adopted - by tbe in
surgents.
As to the Americans, Agninaldo re
marked that be considered them as
brothers;, that "the two sovereign re-
publics were allied against a common
enemy." -
When questioned as to whether tbe
future of the Filipinos' policy would be
absolutely independence, Aguinaldo ex
ensed himself from replying, and asked
what America intends to-do, and con
tinuing, "We have been fighting for in
dependence for a long time. The natives
who profees to favor annexation are in
sincere. It is merely a ruse to ascertain
American views."
The local governor has explained that
the incident was a mistake, and has
repudiated his subordinates' action
Aguinaldo declared to this corresponden
that the Filipino who made tbe tronble
merely pretended to be an officer, and
is entirely unconnected with ineurgent
army.
Aguinaldo complained that tbe Span
isb were "disseminating these reports
for tbe purpose of fomenting antagonism
between the Filipinos - and tbe Ameri
cans." .
Tbe whole Interview conveyed the im-
pression that Aguinaldo desires absolute
independence, regarding the mission of
the Americans here as accomplished
and expects their withdrawal "iust as
tbe French with Lafayette withdrew
after helping the Americans in the war
of independence, a war of humanity.'
Just now Aguinaldo maintains the
role of extreme friendship. .
TEXAS FOR MANILA
Navy Department Said to Contemplate
Making the Battle-Ship the Flag
ship of the Asiatic Station-Olympia
to be Ordered Home.
New Yokk, Sept. 12. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
There is reason to believe that the
navy department has selected the Texas
as the future flagship of the Asiatic
station. The understanding is that she
will replace tbe protected cruiser Olym
pia, which is to be ordered to the United
States as soon as ner relief arrives on
tbe Asiatic station.
The period of the Olympia's cruise ex
pired some mosths ago, bnt tbe break
ing ont of the war with Spain necessitat
ed "her retention in the East, and some
hasty repairs to -her machinery were
made at Hong Kong just before the
declaration of hostilities. . ' ''

destroyed by fire this morning.." The
Springfield (O.) fire department ren
dered timely assistance. The loss on

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 hard times
in tbe past tbe 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 crop now
in eigbt, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for tbe 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 tbe
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure and sale of property
by settling their taxes at once. .
