was formally is ued today with some
modifications by Governor Sleunenberg's
representative, State Auditor Sinclair,
with the approval of General Merriam.
This is the most radical blow yet aimed
at the criminal organizations of this re
gion, and al loyal citizens are hopeful
that it will prove an absolute remedy.
It is directed to the mineowners of this
county, and denies their employment of
men belonging to organizations proven to
to be criminal during the continuance of
martial law.
All miners applying for work will be
required to get a permit from the state,
first denying their participation in the
recent riots, and secondly denouncing
membership of any society which has
approved of said riots. Mineowners
refusing to comply with those conditions
will be required to close down their
mines.

Manila, May 10.-10:40 a. p. The
Filipino General Mascardo's army, In
spired by wiiie taken from the store
houses of Baciloi and by the general's
oratory on Monday evening, attacked
San Fernando. There was tremendous
yelling and great expenditure of cart
ridges by the rebels, but very little
reeult. Geneial Matcirdo holds the
outskirts of Bacolor west of the railroad.
In front of bis position are Kansas and
Montana regiments, which occupy
trenches that the Filipinos built in an
ticipation of an attack from the sea.
During the afternoon of Monday, Gen
eral Mascardo, with a large retinue of
officers, rode along the lines, frequently
stopping to harangue his warriors. At
dusk a detachment of rebels rushed to
ward the ont posts of the Montana regi
ment, but were met by a hot fire from
the line. Insurgents from the trenches
nearly three miles long responded. After
an hour's fighting, during which one
private soldier of the Montana reigment
was wounded, the insurgents subsided.
Prisoners who were brought into the
American lines said that Mascardo dis
tributed barrels of wine among bis sol
d'ers, telling them heexpected to capture
the city of San Fernando.
General Luna is maesing his army
east of tbe railway, bringing up troops
by trainloada in sight of the American
lines. The country between San Fer
nando and Calumpit is filling up with
natives, who profess great friendship to
ward the Americans, but who bjb sus
pected of sympathy with the insurgents.
Another Demonstration.
Manila, May 10.-4:10 p. m. The
army in n clad gunboats Lagnna de Bay
and Cavadongo, under command of
Captain Grant, steamed up tbe Rio
Grande to Calumpit today, clearing the
entire country of rebels from the bay
upward. When the vessels reached
Macabebe, about a thousand inhabit,
ants of the place assembled .upon the
banks of the river, cheering the expedi
tion liberally. Captain Grant was given
an ovation when he went at h ore. Some
of the Macabebeans expressed them
selves as being anxious to enter the ser
vice of the American navy for the cam
paign against theTagale.

GOLD STRIKE AT
POINT NOME
Another Story of Rich Diggings on
United States Soil to Be Considered
Cautiously.
Sal Fbancibco. May 10. The Exam
iner prints a story regarding the new
gold discoveries at Point Nome, in
Alaeka, which its advices dec'are to ex
ceed in richness those of the Klondike.
The strike is on the Snake River and its
tributaries, about twenty miles back
from Cape Nome, and 120 miles from St.
Michael just outside the St. Michael
military reservatit n of tbe United States
government. The mines are all in
American territory. Reports from miner
on the ground say that it is only six feet
bedrock, and the ground is alleged to pay
from the surface. A stampede from
Dawson and St. Michael to the new gold
field is predicted. Leon Sloes, of the
Alaska Commercial Company, points
out the fact that these diggings seem to
be in a well-defined belt which takes in
the Klondike country, the Forty Mile
and Circle City mines, the Koyukuk
strikes, and passes on through the Snake
river region into Siberia. Rich finds are
also reported on the Koyokak river, cne
ot the northern tributaries of the Yukon.
These are also on American soil.

Portland, May 15. Rev. Crawford
Rockwell Thohuin, pastor of the Cent
enary Methodist Episcopal church,
Portland, died at 9 o'clock last evening
at his home, southeast corner of East
Ninth and East Ankeny streets. He
had suffered a congestive chill at 10
o'clock on the previous night, but wonld
not allow his wife to summon medical
aid until 6 o'clock yesterday morning.
Dr. Royal found him in an unconscious
state, from which he never fully rallied
to the time of his death, the immediate
cause of which Dr. Royal ascribes to
cerebral congestion.
Mr. Thoburn, though never very
strong, was enj lying fair health up to
the time of his last sudden attack. On
Monday evening he attended a teachers'
meeting at tbe Centenary church, and
introduced resolutions of respect to the
memory of Dr. U. II. Favne, whoee
death at Clifton Springs, N. Y., had just
been announced by telegtaph, and after
the meeting, accompanied his wife home
in a very cheerful mood. Last Sunday
he preached one of the most powerful
sermons of his life, from the text, "And
he said unto another, follow me," taking
advantage of the occasion to urge his
hearers to follow in the footsteps of
Christ.
His sudden taking off is a severe sbork
to the family and to the host of friends
he had made in Portland since his resi
dence here, which began last Septem
ber, when he came from Tacoma to as
time the duties of chancellor of the
Consolidated universities, a position he
held until March 1, when he btcame
pastor of the Centenary church, suc
ceeding R-v. J. J. Walter, who was ap
pointed superintendent of the missions
of Alatka. Centenary church was pro
gressing well under h.s pastorate, and
his loss will he keenly felt by the con
gregation. Mr. Thoburn comes of a prominent
religious family, being the son of Behp
J. M. Thoburn, of the Methodist Episco
pal church .
