which includes Sonora, Sinaloa and
Lower California, who ,was in the field
with the Twelfth regiment, Is also re
ported among the slain. No informa
tion U obtained as yet of the number of
fighting Indians under arms, but if the
outbreak Is of the proportions of the
war ended in 1807, the number may be
placed at between 3000 and 40C0.
This outbreak is a surprise to the state
and army officials. It is impossible to
secure accurate figures as to the total
number killed todute, but the estimate
of fifty on each side is not considered
excessive.

BY FILIPINOS
Private McCoy, Lawrence and Mills,
of Company M, Who Have Been
Missing Since April.
Sax Fhaj.-sico, July 31. There was
rejoicing in the Oregon camp this morn
ing when Captain Porman, of company
M, posted a cablegram from General
Otis saying that Ralph McCoy, James E.
Lawrence and Clarence Mills are still
alive and well in the Philippines, though
prisoners of the rebels.
Since April 28, those men have been
given up as dead. On that date, at 6 in
the morning, they were sent to recon
noiter territory adjacent to Marlloa, near
the company camp. All wore heavily
armed, ; and were to return at or before
noon. That wa9 the last heard of the
trio until yesterday, when General Otis
learned that they had been spared by
the insurgents, who had taaen them as
prisoners. No details were received.
Company M is jubilant tonight, and
everybody feels like celebrating, for the
men long mourned as dead will, it is
thought, soon be on their way to the
friendly shores of Oregon. All ore mem
bers of company M, and many a day
was f petit by there anxious comrades in
scouring the swamps and bamboo jung
les to find some trace of them.
The Orpgon camp looks deserted, and
everything belonging to the government
has been removed, except beds In the
tents.
The boys ol the Second regiment in
vited the Nebraska men to lunch with
them today, and two hours of good cheer
and fellow ship were spent happily. The
Oregoniana havo done their share in wel
coming the returning volunteers, and
met them in a body at the transport
dock.
Hull's Opinions.
Chicago, Aug. 2. A special to the
Chronicle from Des Moines today, hav
ing returned from his trip to Alaska to
investigate the boundary question.
"To vield to the demands of Great
Britain in the Alaskan boundary ques
tion would be nothing short of crime,"
be said. "The boundary is all one hears
in Alaskl. It would be disgraceful for
tho United States to back down in the
matter ai:d allow Great Britain to have
Skagway. Skagway is the key to all the
trade in the gold regions.
"If wo allow England to have its way
in this boundary matter, we virtually
turn over the Alaskan trade to England ;
if we assert our rights in the matter and
retain Skagway, wo are assured of per
petual control of the Alaskan trade. The
trade belongs to the United States.
Most of the miners in that country are
Americans and desire to buy American
products."

Hudson Bay Company Paid Russia a
Stated Sura for Ten Years' Lease
on Same Land Now in Dispute.
8a Fhaxcihco, Aug 2 United States
Senator George C. Perkins has just re
turned from Alaska. Speaking of the
boundary dispute, the senator said :
"I think the matter will be amicably
settled without arbitrate. It would be
just ti reasonable for us to Insist upon
taking up the old boundary question he-
tween the United States and Canada
again and declare our distatifaction with
tho forty-ninth degree of latitude. - Eng
land long ago recognized tho boundary
for which we are contending. She did
this when the Hudeuit Bay Company
(which was practically Canada at that
time, executed a leased fur 10 year from
Russia of the territory she is uow con
tending for.
"This lease was renewed for a second J
term, so wlmt better proof could any one
ask of our ownership. These lands which
the Hudson Bay Company leased from
Russia, and England now seeks to lay
claim to, we purchased from Russia."
The senator said that high license Iibb
proven a success in Alaska.

MILITARY POST
DESTROYED
Quantity of Stores Burned Great
Damage Done.
Seattle, Aug. 2. The news of the de
struction, by fire, of the United StateB
military post at Dyoa, on Friday of last
week, was brought to this city today by
returning passengers on tho steamship
Humboldt. Military stores to the value
of 5,000 were destroyed. About $20,000
of stores were saved by the prompt woik
of the soldiers, under the com mad of

brush back on the hi'Ils, and swept down
on the fort. The soldiers, with their re
maining supplies, have been moved to

mated at $125,000. Atone time it was
feared the entire town of Dyea would be
destroyed, but fortunately the wind
changed. Tho passengers of the Hum
boldt say that, when they left Skagway
last Sunday, the country fifteen miles to
the south was lit up by the burning
brush.

HEAD OFFICERS
OFF TO LEWIST0N
President Mcllen Returns to Portland to
Meet Mr. HartinanPortland the
Fighting Ground.
Portland, Aug. 3. Northern Pacific
officials, head men of the O. R. & X. and
the chairman of the Union Pacific direc
tory hove been in conferenee over the
ultimatum of tlc Northern Pacific to the
O. R. & N. must promise to keep out of
the Nez Perces country and must give
the Northern Pacific full trackage rights
down the Columbia from Lewiston to
Portland, or have its line paralleled down
the Columbia. The eituation may be
set down as tense.
No hiut of what transpired among
them has been allowed to escape, but
one result of the meeting Is that a spec
ial train was made up hastily yesterday
afternoon and left at 5 o'clock over the
O. R. fc N. for Lewiston. In addition to
the heads of the three roads interested
were: B.Campbell, general traffic man
ager, and W. H. Kennedy, chief cagi
neer of tho O. R. & N., and J. H. Kend
rick, general manager; J. M. Hannaford,
general traffic manager; K. II. Mcilenry
chief engineer, and M. C. Kimherly,
general superintendent of the Northern
Pacific.
Evidently the object cf the trip is to
go over tho physical aspects of the situa
tion. It is givi-n out that the party will
be absent four or tiro days.
Sentiment in Portland is unanimous
against the O. R. & N. agreeing to with
draw from any part of the Columbia riv
er basin, or of promising to keep out in
future. If the O. R. & N. were an inde
pendent concern, it certainly would re
fuse to entertain the N. P.' claim
Idaho, east of Lewiston, is natural
Northern Pacific territorv ; but the O. R.
& N, is controlled by the O egon Short
Line and Union Pacific and what action
these roads will take must bo awaited
with patience. As to the matter of
trackage right.', best opinion holds that
the O. R. ft N. will givo them, provided
terms can be arranged, the natural as
sumption being that the Northern Paci
fic will holdout for the lowest reasonable
charge, and that the O. R. & N. will de
mand the highest it thinks the Northern
Pacific will pay in preference to building
down the Columbia.
It looks as if a crisis must be reached
very soon. Portland will view with de
light a failure of the two roads to come
to terms and the Northern Pacific put
ting into effect its threat to build n
short, down grade line to Portland.

atcdlrturt?
From Sylvan Valley New?, Brevrad,
It may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffering
we feel it a doty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera nnd Diar
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family lor
twenty years and have always found it
reliable. In many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician la awaited. We do
not believe In depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe tnat If a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy was kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack, much suffering might be avoided
and In very many cases the presence of
a physician would not be required. At
least this his been our experience
during the past twenty years. For sale
