SPAIN GIVES IN.
S;e!-j(tri Or.lr la Partially Ba-
Wellington, April 1. The Spanish
l.ii here lt tonight received a
eabh-gram from the governor-general of
Cuba, savins: the pacification of the
paatisni provinces ii so tar advanoed
that it lias been decided to rescind the
reconcentrado order in three provinces
ami allow all subjects of this decree to
rclttra to their homes in the country.
To aid in the re-establishment ol the
reo.oncentradoes upon their farms, the
cablegram state the government will
grant them the protection of the Span
ish miltary forces, augmented by looal
relief committees to look after their
immediate needs.
Kconomio kitchens, it says, are to be
established to support the reconcentra
does while awaiting for their first crops
to mature, and they are to be furnished
farming implements and seeds by the
government.
To (apply them with ready money,
such ot them as are able will be given
employment on publio works, and it is
asserted by the authorities that these
measures will result in the speedy re
habilitation of rural communities in
the western provinces.
This cablegram was not made public
till more thm an hour after midnight, j
and no official comment upon its aig-
mfloanoe could be secured.
wicKLY MARKET LETTER.
SPAIN REALIZES HER POSITION.
Kiwi That There It bat Ob Thine to
, ad That It to hit In.
Madrid, April 1. While the situa
tion here is outwardly of the calmest
description, the actual position of
affairs is regarded as critical by both
the United States legation and the
Spanish government. The Cnited
, States minister, General Stewart Wood
ford, is working and will continue to
work energetically for peace until the
first gun is fired. It is known the
Spanish admits the desirability or ne
cessity of complying with the demands
of the United States, and it is only in
the disinclination of the minister to
pot this willingness in concrete form
where the danger lies. If a conference
were to be held with the German or
French diplomats, the matter would be
settled without question. The point
which General Woodford is now press
ing is that in the interest of humanity,
hostilities in Cuba most ceaseimmedi
ately. No date was fixed either in the
first or in the present note, but the
United States is now dwelling upon j
the "immediately," and insisting that j
Spain accept its general interpretation.
The public generally is taking little
apparent interest in the situation, but
there is a general disinclination to be
lieve that war is likely.
A dispatch from Barcelona says that
the armed steam yacht Giralda, par
chased by the Spanish government
from Harry MoCalmont, the Knglieh
racehorse owner, after the vessel bad
been rejected by the United States, is
now being fitted up as a dispatch boat.
EI Pais sayi four warships have been
obtained by Spain in France, and that
negotiations are pending for the pur
chse of several torpedo-boats in Great
Britain. ; El Pais also says that orders
have been issued to mobilize all the
Spanish war ships, and that the torpedo-boat
Haloon is to sail immediate
ly from Cartagena for Cadii, where a
second torpedo squadron is being pre
pared. Military enginerrs are starting
for the Canary islands, and the Bale
aric islands are being fortified
Italy, it is said by 1 Pais, has de
cided to sell the atmored cruiser Gnis
seppe Garibaldi, of 6,840 tons, well
armored, a sister ship of the Varex, to
Spain.
Two regiments, according to El Pais,
are going to the Canary islands to
strengthen the Spanish garrison there.
El Pais sees in the meeting between
General Woodford and the Spanish
minister yesterday an indication that
the United States is "gaining time and
waiting for the rainy season, so as to
take Spain at a disadvantage in Cuba."
The Armstrongs' Spanish agent, a
Spaniard who is in touch with the gov
ernment and commercial people in
Spain, has expressed the belief that
unless the powers intercede, there will
be war. "
Main Relief BUI a Law.
Washington, April 1. The sot for
the relief of the sufferers by the Mains
disaster was today approved by the
president.
The most significant of the naval or
dera issued by the navy department re
cently was the detachment of Com
mender Horace M. Elmer, from Cramps'
ship yard, and ordering him to duty
"in the mosquito fleet " This auxiliary
organization of the navy, which is to
be called into service in time of war,
is to be composed of small craft of all
kinds that may be obtainable by the
department upon which a gun may be
mounted, and other defensive devices
placed. As far as practicable, it is the
intention of the department that there
shall be a separate set of ships for the
defense of the eeaooast cities, the whole
to compose the "mosquito fleet." In
the event of necessity for a rendezvous
of several of these local fleets it can be
arranged, as the primary idea is for
each local fleet to form the "mobile de
fense" of the particular city where it
will be called into service to assist in
furnishing armament for vessels, and
in the event of war, naval officers will
be assigned to the command of each of
the several local fleets. ;

Palermo, April 1. -The Journal de

The belief is pretty genera now that
JUiter will carry his deal straight
through May, and that there will be no
snore money for the May short at Chi
cago. There were those who felt In the
month that the load would be too heavy
for any mortal, and that Letter would
be glad to stop. There are those still
who believe the bull campaign will
wind up with a loss rather than a profit;
but even these believe the loss will be
taken abroad and that the Chicago
campaign will be olosed with a display
of fireworks and all the outward sians
of triumph. There are clever 'pit pro
fessionals who are of the opinion the
deal will run into July. Mo one can,
in fact, ever foretell the end of these
huge speculative operations. The
weather is the moat potent hi finance.
It might make it possible for the whole
bull line to be unloaded in advance of
May 81, at a hnge profit, or it might
create such a bearish sentiment - the
world over as to finally make a loss
abroad greatly in excess of any amount
exacted from shorts at Chicago. In
ternational politics will be a factor;
perhaps very bullish, perhaps a very
bearish one. War with Spain would
hurt prices on its declaration, but
would bull prices finally, and peace
ful end, on the other band, might jump
prices on the first sentiment of relief,
but result in a dull, bearish season
later. It is not to be forgotten that
contract wheat is being poured into the
Chicago elevators at the rate of 700,000
bushels per week, and that this stream
will be increased as the May delivery
day approaches.

Complete Sncreee nf the Mining and
, Irrlgitlon Congreee at Baker t'lty,
The mining and irrigation congress
Which met in Baker City last week,
will prove of muuli ImuimuI to the
Northwest. Much enthusiasm was
manifested throughout its sessions, and
when final adjournment was taken, it
was with a feeling that the convention
had been a success. It was linker
City's first experience In entertaining
crowd of that oharactcr, and Its citi
sens had cause to be gratified at the. re
suit. The town surprised itself by its
achievement. As the oitisens and vis
itors became better acquainted, more
informality came into the proceedings,
and miners and capitalists got closer
together, and the vastness of the mm
eral resources of tha region was better
appreciated. All felt a personal in
terest in mining and irrigation, and no
one was so wise that he did not get
new and broader ideas, and perhaps
more special knowledge of those mat
ters so essential to the industrial do
velopment of the great Northwest.
The last day a oonsitution and by
laws for a permanent organization was
reported, and, after some discussion,
adopted. The name chosen was the
Mining and Irrigation Congress; ob
ject, to promote and foster mining and
irrigation enterprises and other kindred
industries; the ofHoers to be a presi
dent, a vice-president from each state,
who shall ohoose the secretary and
treasurer; the meetings to be held an
nually, at a time and place to be se
lected by the congress; the congress to
be composed of delegates fioiu Oregon,
Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho,
Washington, Montana, California and
Nevada, to be appointed as follows:
Seven by the governor of each state;
one by the mayor of each city; three
by each chamber of comnieroe, com
mercial club, board of trade or other
similar organization in each city;
three from each county, to be appoint
ed by the county judge or chairman of
the county board; three from each reg
ularly organized mining district within
the states. The committee on legisla
tion will consist of two members from
each state, who will present a written
report at each annual congress.
When it came to selecting place
for the next meeting, J. F. Batchelder
named Portland as the commercial and
financial metropolis of the Northwest,
where facilities for accommodating a
great gathering and for a display of
mining machinery and methods of re
ducing ores could he found. K. W.
Paris proposed Boise as able to handle
a big convention, it being more ceiitral
j ly located with respect to the mining
states, being itself, in the center ol
vast region, whose chief industries the
congress would relate to. C. A. Johns j
named Baker City. A dezen speeches
were made by partisans of tho different
places. A ballot resulted as follows:
Portland, 41; Boise, 14; Baker
City, 6.
Portland was made the unanimous
choice. "
The time for holding the next meet
ing was fixed for the first Tuesday in
December, 1898, after a long discussion,
bringing out seasonable demands of
placer and quartz mining and irrigation
farming and after referenoe to a com
mittee of three whose report was adopt
ed. Albert Geieer, of Baker City, was
unanimously elected permanent presi
dent of the organization. The follow
ing vice-presidents were chosen:
Oregon Ole J. Olsen, Grants Paw;
Idaho State Engineer F. J. Mills,
Boise; Washington Dr. J. M. Boyd,
Spokane; Utah Thomas D. Lee, Og
den. The executive committee is com
posed of the following:
Oregon Fred B. Meilis, Baker City,
and J. F. Batchelder, Portland; Idaho
; A. D. Morrison, Idaho Falls, and 3.
F. Hunt, Downey; Washington G. B.
Dennis and A. P. Curry, Spokane;
Utah R. S. Campbell, Salt Lake City,
and R. C- Lund, St. George.
Members of the legislative committee:
Oregon C. A. Johns, Baker City,
and E. J. Frasier, Eugene; Idaho-
John C. Rice, Caldwell, and Edgar
Wilson, Boise; Washington J. J.
Browne and Colonel Lindsley, Spokane;
Utah David Keith, Salt Lake City,
and H. H. Rolapp, Ogden.
The governors of California, Nevada,
Colorado, Wyoming and Montana will
be asked to make appointments for their
respective states.
A committee presented resolutions to
the effect that only questions pertaining
to mining and irrigation should be dis
euseed before the congress; urging im
mediate action for a mineral exhibit at
the Trans-Mississippi exposition fiom
the several states represented in the
congress; acknowledging appreciation
of and extending hearty thanks to the
citizens of Baker City for the many
courtesies and attentions received.

"While I was at Moscow," writes
traveler, whose words are reproduced
by the Detroit Free Press, "a volume
was published in favor of the liberty of
people. ' In this book the iniquitous
conduct of the public functionaries,
and even of the sovereign, were cen
siired severely. The book created in
dignation, and the offender was at once
taken into custody. After being tried
in a summary way, he was condemned
to eat his own words. A scaffold was
erected in a public square, the imperial
provost, the magistrates and the physi
cians of the czar attending, the book
was separated from the binding, and
the margin cut ofr. Ihe author was
then served, leaf by leaf, by the .pro
vost, and was obliged to swallow this
nnpHlatnble stuff on pain of the knout,
more feared in Russia than death. As
noon as the medical gentlemen were of
the opinion that he had eaten as much
as he could with safety, the transgressor
was returned to prison. This punish
ment was renewed the following days,
until after several hearty meals, every
leaf of the book was actually swal
lowed."

Many are the prayers that are
breathed for those that have gone forth
to brave the dangers of the open ocean,
remarks a writer in The Illustrated

have occurred in still water within

The Episcopal prayer book contains a
formula of praver for those at sea,
which may perhaps inolude those that
are upon the waters of rivers or an
chored in harbors. The horrors that
have occurred within close range of
land make more grewsome than humor

Captain Robley D. Evans, who goes
into command of the war ship Iowa,
vice Captain Sampson, has no rival for
popularity in Washington, or in the
navy department. The captain is
quoted as having said recently that if
be had his way "there would be
nothing but Spanish talked in for
the next five years." Evans was in
command of the Torktown during the
late trouble with Chile, and he wanted
to blow Valparaiso off the earth because
of the insults put upon America by the
citizens of that town. But the navy
department refused, and Evans was
commended for the admirable self
restraint he exercised. Since then he
has no love for Spain. Evans is gener
ally known as "Fighting Bob" Evans,
a pseudonym which he dislikes very
much. He has a limp which he earned
during his service with Uncle Sam in
the '60s, and other marks of war on
his person. - Evans belongs to a Vir
ginia family, and when the South
ueceded, his mother, without his con
sent, sent his resignation to Washing
ton. The young officer, however, per
suaded the department to abrogate it,
and promptly rejoined the service. He
has been in the navy 88 years, and is
one of the most dashing and dating in
Uncle Sam's service.

A Bleyele Coincidence.
A remarkable coincidence has just
Lappened at Portsmouth, England,
which is thus recorded by The West
minster Gazette: A local doctor, vis
iting a colleague at his surgery three
miles off, left his bicycle resting against
the curb outside. When his call was
ended, the bicycle was missing, and he
communicated with the police, After
wiird returning borne. An hour or two
later a constable on duty in the neigh
borhood of this doctor's surgery saw a
cyclist fall from the machine he was
riding, which had skidded on the tram
lines. The man, a young gunner in
the Royal Artillery, was found to be
seriously hurt, and was taken to the
surgery for medical treatment. The
doctor recommended the man's removal
to the hospital, his leg being fractured.
As he was being taken away the doctor
looked at the bicycle, and found that
it was his ownl The police are now
investigating the affair.
