AN INSURGENT VICTORY Spaniards Suffer a Crushing Defeat in Matanzas. 10WN OF HOLGBIN CAPTURE! Conflict Fe Many Point WU Unabated. Fary Spanish Lou . CoToy la rinar Del Bia. New York, Nov. 8. A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says: Th inftirgent troops in the field are very active. On October 80 the Spaniards austnined the moat severe loss they have met for eome time. On the bord ers of Matanias province General Mo lina whs defeated by the insurgents un der General Betancourt. General Mo lina was on his way to Havana with brigade of troops to participate in Blanco's reception. At Aguacate he heard the rebels were encamped in Purgatory hills, and broke his march tc attack them. The fight vras a long one, and the Spanish loss was large. He was finally forced to retreat. In Pinar del Bio province the rebels under command of Captain Lorr at tacked a convoy that left San Cayetano and oaptured a large supply of clothing and ammunition. A report apparently well-founded, is current in Havana to the effect that Holguin has been oaptured by rebels under Gen real Oebreco. That it has been attacked, and that 75 Spaniards were killed is admitted, but the capture is denied. General I-uque with heavy reinforce ments left Havana yesterday for Hol guin. In a book on the Cuban war just pub lished here, General Weyler writes the introduction. In one places be says: "The system of warfare carried on by me during this campaign is not a new one. It is the same as that pursued by the Americans of the North when they fought their brethren oi the South." " - A million dollars in paper currency has mysteriously disappeared from the treasury here. The money was intend ed for the payment of the navy, and the troops. This fact, coapled with am at tempt to deprive the army and navy of their pay for the months of April, May and June is causing great indignation. RELEASED FROM MORO CASTLE. Two Survivor of Macao's Original Ejc pedltloa Bo Free. New York, Nov. 8.The Journal ays; Of the 43 persons who landed with General Maceo near Baracoa, nearly two and a half years ago only three survive. The others, including Maceo, have perished on the battlefield, or in hospitals in Cuba. Two of the survivors are young Americans, Frank Agramonte and Julio Sains. Word has been received in this city that through the efforts of Dr. Pulaski Hyatt, United States consul at Santi ago, they have been released from Moro castle, and will sail for New York next Saturday. Agramont is trie son .of Professor Emilio Agramonte, of this city. His family is one of means, so that the burden of his imprisonment has been lightened through their efforts. Sains is an orphan and Dr. Hyatt hB provided him with food and com forts out of the 50,000 fund appro priated by congress for the relief of Americans in Cuba. The young men, both about 24 years of age, sailed with Maceo. The party was intercepted near Baracoa. In the skirmigh 10 soldiers and a Spanish officer were killed. Agramonte and Sainz were separated from their com panions and were captured a few days later. Owing to the death of the officer, the affair assumed a serious aspect. The boys asked help from Mr. Hyatt . M . 1 ,1.1 J-SUbU -"J' " ' ...... B.U1. he saved them from being shot. They were imprisoned in Moro castle. For two years and a half the boys have been inmates of the prison. The governor of the prison allowed any artiole with Hyatt's stamp to be given them. Just before General Weyler left foi Spain Hyatt wrote to him, recalling a promise to release the boys. Now news comes that the release of the young men was among the last official aots of the genreal. The boys hav sent word that they will sail for New York on the Niagara. , Or From New Discoveries. Salem, Nov. 8. Some large speci mens of gray quartz ore were brought out from the claims located by the Gesner party near Quartzville, and are on eiphibition in Salem. The epeci-; mens are of free-milling ore, and it ii the purpose of the party to have them tested soon. It is hardly probable anything can be done toward develop ing the mines before next spring. The new discovery has been named the Khoda. . Barcelona Anarchist Murdered. Madrid, Nov. 5. -A dispatch from Barcelona says that 112 persons who have been confined in the fortress of Montjuich for a year on suspicion of complicity in 'anarchistic plots and outrages were released today. Investigating the Ute Trouble. Washington, Nov. 5. The war de partment is investigating the recent reported uprising among the Dtes in Utah. It has been practically decided to send an inspector from the interior department to investigate and report on the trouble. The water is so clear in the fords of Norway that objects an inch and a half in diameter can be distinctly seen at a depth of 150 feet French Evacuated Sakl. Lagos, Coast of Afrioa, Nov. 8.- The French have evacuated Saki. one of the posts in the Lagos Hinterland, which was occupied by their troops in contra vention, it claimed here, of the Anglo-French agreement of 1889. When it was announced that a French expedition had occupied Suki, Gov renor JHcCullutn, the British official under whose jurisdiction the place is situated, flispatched a force of British troops from Lngos to Saki, . Upon tho arrival of the British force near Saki, Jjie French troops retired. A KNIFE FOR MORAES. Attempted Assassination af the l dent of Braiil. New York, Nov,-8. The Herald's corresiomlent in Rio Janoiro telegraphs that an attempt has been made to assas sinate the president of Braiil, Dr. Prudente Jose de Morses. The presi dent's brother, an army officer, was probably mortally wounded while shielding the chief executive. General Betancourt, minister of war, who was one of the president's party, was shot and killed. Kio Janeiro is now under martial law, every BoMier having been ordered to arms, and it is feared another revo lution is at hand. The attempt to kill the president, and the killing of the minister of war, it is believed, is the workof monarchial sympathizers. Another rumor ia that they were the result of the feeling aroused by the proposed arbitration treaty with France. Wild excitement prevails in the city. Startling rumors are heard on all sides. The belief is general in certain classes that tt followers of Antonio Oonseil heiro, the leader of the fanatical move ment, who waa recently killed in Canudos, have invaded Kio to strike their first blow for revenge. It was the day set apart by President Moraes and his cabinet to do honor to Krear-Admiral Barbosa, one of the con querors of Conseilheiro'a friends in Caundos. Admiral Barboca was one of the chiefs of the Brazilian troops who several weeks ago hacked and shot down thousands of the followers of the fierce Conseilheiro, who had gathered his forces in Canudos. It was believed then that the crush ing defeat of the fanatics there and the death of Conseilheiro had put an end to Brazil's monarchist enemies. " Thousands of persons gathered to see President Moraes and his oabinet extend publicly the thanks of the republic to Barbosa and his troops, just returning on the steamer Canudos. Many mem bers of congress and persons high in naval, military and ecclesiastical circles were present, as were also the diplo matic representatives of several foreign countries. The victorious troops were passing in review before President Moraes, when a soldier dashed out of the naval arsenal toward the president's party, drawing a dagger as he went. Fearing his intention, and unable to atop the soldier. Colonel Moraes, brother of the president, stepped between the executive and his assailant, and tried to ward off the dagger thrust. In this he was successful, but the colonel re ceived the dagger in his own body, the soldier in his frenzy striking several times before he was seized by those in the rear. The troops were thrown into a line in front of the president's party and tried to force the crowd back. While President Moraes and the members of his cabinet were bending over the body of Colonel Moraes, a shot was heard and General Betancourt, the minister of war, staggered and fell be hind the body of Colonel Moraes, with a bullet in his bead. This added to the excitement of the crowd, which was, by this time, wildly surging to and fro, the troops using their bayonets to keep it back, and those behind pressing forward. Finally, fearing another attempt to kill the president and the members of hia cabinet, more troops were called, and a strong guard was formed around the official party. Then Colonel Moraes and General Betancourt were lifted and borne to the palace. Colonel Moraes was seriously, probably mortally wounded. General Betancourt died a few min utes after he was taken into the palace. In the meantime, fearing an attack on the palace, President Moraes ordered that the crowd be dispersed, and the troops finally succeeded in doing so, though a serious conflict at one time seemed imminent, owing to an attempt to lynch the president's assailant The news of the affair spread with remarkable rapidity, and within 10 minutes the city was in a fever of ex citement. Bumorrfof a revolution were rife on all sides, and there seemed good reason to fear an uprising. In order to avoid a possibility of this, orders were issued from the palace calling all the troops in the city to arms and declaring the city under martial law. The soldier who tried to kill Presi dent Moraes is under arrest. He be longs to the Tenth battalion. He re fused to give any reason for his attempt. The person who shot General Betan court is unknown. No one knows whence came the fatal bullet The citizens generally attribute the deed to revenge on the part of Conseil beiro's followers. Some well-informed men have brought up the theory that the attempt on the president's life grew out of the proposed arbitration treaty with France on the Ampapo question. This tveaty the president vigorously upheld despite tremendous opposition in congress and among the people. Big, and Yet It I Sound. Long Creek, Or.', Nov. 8. There is on exhibition in a store at this place a monster turnip. It was raised in the garden of Mr. Allen Porter, near this city; weighs 1934 pounds, and meas ures 39 inches in oircumference. It seems to be perfectly sound, and not pithy, as is generally the case in veg etables of its size. Hop Sale at Dallas. Dallas, Or., Nov. 8. H. G.

A Steel Work Explosion. Milwaukee, Nov. 8 By an explo sion at the Illinois steel works last evening five men were injured, two fatally. The fatally injured are Peter Hundt and George Kolinski. KlileeTky Hi Pupil. Sedalia, Mo., Nov. 8. James Allen, a teacher in a school at Wheatland, Hickory county, was beaten to death yesterday by his pupils. Ab a punish ment for misconduct, Mr. Allen kept several hoys after school was dismissed last night. When released, the youths went away angry, and later, as the schoolmanto. was on his way home, they waylaid him, pelting him with stones and clubs. Mr. Allen was knocked down and his skull crushed. He did not regain consciousness, anil died this morning. The youths have been arrested, WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. tOUce of PowlrtT, rtr-fVIn Co., CMcsre Board ol Trad Brokers, 711-714 Chamber, ol Com. werce Building, Portland, Oregvu.J Facts established sooner or later con trol wheat values. Speculation may temporarily advance or depress values, but in the end the laws of supply and demand art sure to assort themselves and control vulues. It has been a self evident proposition for several weeks past that conditions warranted higher values. Speculative infiuonoes have repeatedly driven prices downward, bul the market has rebounded With the buoyancy of a cork upon tho water. The news announcements of the week have been uniformly favorable to high er values Crop advices at home indi cate less than an average acreage seeded to winter wheat, owing to tho pro tracted drought, which has been broken only in certain sections of the winter wheat belt. Receipts at primary points are falling off and promise from this on to prove smaller than last year. Ex port clearances continue large, 6,991, -000 bushels for the week, which is largely in excess of our exportable sur plus weekly. The export demand shows no signs of diminution. On the con trary, it is urgent and increasing, the last 'few days of the' week having re sulted in very large sales for export. Foreign advices continue extremely bullish. The reports of our own con suls in Kuropa more than confirm the maximum estimates of European im port requirements. Advices from Lon don assert '.bat Mediterranean ports are outbidding England for Russian wheat The Frenoh chamber of deputies has been petitioned to reduce the Import duty on wheat, and some action in this direction will probably be taken sooner or later, although not necessarily at present, Rusnian advices, although al ways unreliable and largely mythical, are extremely bullish and must neoes sarily have some foundation on fact The Argentine crop is still an unknown quantity. Reports are conflicting. Drought conditions have prevailed. Locusts have caused some damage, and in the absence of reliable reports it can not be assumed that the orop will be a large" one in yield. Local speculative conditions are extremely favorable for hither values. Stocks on contraot grain are very small, practically exhausted, and there is no immediate prospect of their being replenished. oan dis- cover nothing in the situation at home or abroad warranting any declines in values, and would regard any decline as but temporary, unwarranted, and therefore a good speculative opportun ity to buy wheat, the final outcome of which we aniticipate to be much higher prices.

One of the most Important and oft neglected matters for fall considera tion ou farms where a few awliio are kept Is that of a proper shelter for them during the Inclement weather of late fall ami during the winter season This Is a question Into which both bn ruaulty and profit enter. Nesta made In heating manure piles and at the base of straw stacks furnish warmth, but are very Injurious to the health of the animals; while low, dusty shelters un der buildings breed vermin and disease and should be avoided. Dry, floored pens raised from the ground so tho wind can blow under are very uncom- fortable In cold weather, and the ani mals will not thrive therein until the wind Is excluded below. Every farmer knows how to construct comfortable shelters, but It Is too often neglected and the pigs not only permitted but compelled to "rough It," often under the most unfavorable conditions. Cabbage in Winter. ' The old plan of burying, or putting cabbage iu trenches during winter, or for winter use, has become obsolete, and a more simple and easy plan boa been adopted. Where cabbage is grown on a large scale for shipping purposes, the best plan is to lift the cabbage and stack them two tiers deep and as close ly as-they can be plaet-d in an orchard, or wood If convenient, and cover with leaves to the depth of two or three Inches, the leaves to be kept In place by a slight covering of earth, says American Gardening. In this way the beads will keep perfectly sound all winter, and they can be easily taken up as wanted for shipping. For fam ily use cabbages can be kept In the same way, only It will not be neces sary to make the second layer. It Is quite important to keep them a little below the freezing point. It has been suggested to keep them In some con venient building, but this plan has al ways resulted In failure, as the dry at mosphere Is fatal; cabbage must be kept moist and cool, the slightest wilt ing renders It unfit for the table. A Covered Barnyard. The barnyards during the winter are often so wet and filthy that the animals are uncomfortable, which difficulty Is sought to be remedied by the use of cornstalks and other materials as ab sorbents. The barnyard can be ren dered dry by having It higher than the level of the surrounding ground, but in the arrangement of the barnyard for the comfort of stock the next point Is how to preserve tho manure from loss by rains, heat, cold, etc. The only remedy Is a covered barnyard, but that Is expensive, though farmers would find that the saving of food, better pro tection to stock In summer and winter, and the saving of manure would repay any outlay In that respect, as any kind of roof that would turn water from the barnyard would answer the purpose. Washing- 11 utter. In washing butter either extreme Is to be avoided. To wash It even In granular form, until the water runs off clear, will give us a butter that will not decay or turn strong so soon as that not washed so thoroughly, but it washes out much of the flavor. On the jther band, while the flavor Is enhanced by not washing, the buttermilk left In after working will tend to putrefac tion; for, as we all know, there Is noth ing which more quickly spoils and be comes ill-smelling than buttermilk. To work out all the buttermilk breaks the grain, makes the butter salvy. Of course, we do cot want to do this, so we will wash It In granular form through two or three waters (depending upon quantity of water used, and also upon temperature of butter), work In the salt until thoroughly Incorporated, and call It finished. Jersey Bulletin. Harvesting Weedy Potatoes. That sins of neglect will follow a man until be Is duly punished Is never more conclusively proven than when the neg lected potato field comes to be harvest ed. Not only Is the crop greatly les sened, but the labor of harvesting has been Increased. As a matter of fact, the farmer who can and does keep his potatoes free from weeds saves labor by the operation. Sooner or later the weeds have to be uprooted. It costs less to do this while they are small. If done then, the yield of marketable tubers Is so much Incrensed, rfnd tli-? ex pense of harvesting Is decreased so, that It really costs less to harvest a large crop kept free from weeds than to har vest a crop failure made so becauite overrun with weeds. Weaning; Young; I.ombs. It Is always best to wean lambs from their dams before cold weather or droughts Injure the iasturage. But, however good the feed, some grain should be added to keep the calf thrifty and In good condition to enter the win ter. Oats nre the best grain to feed to lambs or sheep, and when at pasture a gill a dny Is sufficient, as It la not de sirable to fatten them. Much of he future value of the sheep depends on how It goes through the first winter. It should be kept growlug, and It Is also making a fleece to be shorn In the spring. Both of these operations re quire rich food with a large proportion of nitrogenous nutrition. Out or beans will supply this. When lambs are to be fattened add corn meal with bran and a very little linseed meal. , The latter Is especially good to Increase the wool growth, and some may safely be given with oats and wheat bran to lambs that are to be kept for breed Ing. , Making Bmall Cheese. A great deal of Inquiry has been made for some means by which fami lies with perhaps only two or three cows could make full-cream cheese of their milk whenever they might for any reason choose to do so. Families want cheese as well as butter. Some times butter Is very low, and again the weather Is too warm for the ordinary farmer to make a good quality of but ter, because he has not the necessary conveniences -for keeping milk and cream at the proper temperature. At raeh times and undo-- sflcu elrcum, stances If the milk could easily bv made Into ft good quality of cheese al home, It would he a matter or much importance, nominally In the North, but especially In the South, where, a a rule, lee 1 uot to be had to aid In butter-making. The Pennsylvania Agricultural Col lege has been working on the line of making small cheese to meet the exi gency of these conditions. They have been making a cheese of about seven pounds weight. Thin makes a cheosn of good slue for handling and for fam ily use. It Is reported that Prof. Hay ward, of that Institution, says there has been a ready sale for all that has been made In that Vicinity, and more could have been sold. The price re ceived Is thirteen cents a pound, equal to twenty-six cents for butter. It Is not stated whether a bulletin has been Issued detailing the process, but If uot, most likely one will be ere long. Prac tical Farmer. l'otatoee Under Straw. An Indiana farmer who bn been quite successful In growing potatoes explains hta method of doing It some thing like the following: He breaks up his ground deep and works luti tho soil well-rotted compost. Tho surface Is made level and smooth and the pota toes are dropped ou top of the soil In straight lines. The whole Is then cov ered with alx to eight Inches of nli'iiw. During the season ashes are liberally sprinkled over them twice; the result Is tubers of the fluent klud. We have no doubt whatever of the succens of such a plan and of the production of flue tubers, but we venture to suggest that the piece waa not large In extent. When potatoes are grown by acres, any thoughtful farmer can see that tho amount of straw required would be Im mense. No doubt for gnrden purposea, where smooth tubers are desired, this course would give them, but no better than to plant furrows, covering with a layer of straw and then of earth which would require very much Ipbs straw. The matter of expense sometimes gov erns farm operation. Germuntowo Telegraph. Onion from Seed. To grow onions from seed the pric tlce now la to sow the seed In hotbeds or cold frame In winter, In ordur to get seta, which saves the coat of seta. Maggots do not Injure the onions grown from seta as seriously oa they do from seeds. A fly doposlU ejfgs on the sides of the young alioots, the maggota from the eggs going down into the bulbs and destroying them. When sets are used they grow rapidly and get ahead of the maggot. Seed am be sown almont any time, the acts can be transpalnted in the spring. After the seeds have started the young onions should not lie kept too warm, as It la not necessary for the seta to be of large size. The Lettuce Seed Crop. Always In saving lettuce seed, choose that which has moat leaves, and which has grown without Interruption from the seed. The practice In many fam ilies Is to pluck the leave three or four times, and when at last the leaves be gin to be tough, let the plant send up its seed r-tulks. Usually the largest crop of seed will come from the plant that has the fewest leaves. But It will not be worth planting. Grown as let tuce for seed should be without dis turbing a leaf, each plant will produce very few seed. Yet seed from this nearly seedless lettuce Is worth any amount of the seed which la produced la the usual way. Farm Notre. Those who are congratulating tho farmers on the higher price for wheat have overlooked the fact that potatoes are bringing three times as much as they did two years ago, and the potato crop Is no small one In this country. The quality and size of fruit on old bushes Is much improved by severe pruning or thinning of fruit, and this applies equally well to nil tree fruits. The demand of the times Is for quality In everything, rather than quaetlty, and this certainly applies to fruit grow ing. To destroy weeds la pavements and garden walks make a strong brine with salt and boiling water. Apply with a watering can. A moderate quantity of salt stimulates the growth of all vegeta tion; It Is, therefore, a mistake to sup pose that a sprinkling of salt will ex terminate weeds. The best way to treat clover In the fall is to spread manure over the Held. The frosts and rains will pulverize the manure and the covering will protect tberoots.tbeaoluhle matter going below to assist In giving the "lover a good start and vigorous growth In the spring, Increasing the yield and bene fiting the hind. To keep bees In the winter tho. hive must be under shelter ami protected against the cold. At the same time the hive must not be kept too warm, as the bees give off considerable animal heal In the hive, ami may thus be tempted to come out should the weather be mod erate, perishing with cold before they can return. Enough honey Hhould be left In the hive to supply them until spring. Fall plowing la frequently resorted to when the late summer and fail have been very dry and the ground Is hard. The winter may bring but Utile rain, not enough before the spring planting season to thoroughly souk the ground, but If the land has been plowed It wlli aliHOib and retain more moisture than If left unplowcd for the water to run off from the hard and packed surface T, II. Hale, the great peach grower, says that In setting out pencil trees you waut a thoroughly prepared soil, medium-sized trees; neither a very large uor a very small one; that the roots want pretty close pruning, and hey want good, clean-out pruning not such as the nurserymen give them with their ma chines, but a careful cutting; and If you cut very closely you will get fut more rapid and sure growth, When barreling apples prewt them Iu so that no apple can move from Its po sltlom If the apples are sound they will not be injured by slight pressure.
