. Washington and Idaho
Affected.
Washington, Jane 20. Tbe secretary
of tbe interior bas rendered decisions
on several cages on appeal from tbe
general land office. Among them are
cases involving land in Oreogn, Idaho
and Washington. Tbe lower ruling in
the oae of tbe United btatei against
Alexander Lewis is affirmed. This ac
tion canoels tbe homestead entry of
Lewis in tbe Rosebarg land district, in
Oregon.
The Northern Paoiflo Rsilorad Com
pany loses its oase against Thomas J.
Karris, involving land in tbe Walla
Walla land distriot, Washington. The
oompany'a selection as to the land will
be canceled and Ferris' application to
make homestead entry allowed. The
Northern Paoiflo also loses its oase
against Alvan Torrey. The secretary
in this case affirms the findings of the
genearl land office in favor of Torrey.
The land in controversy is in tbe Walla
Walla land district
The application of John C. Smith
for entry of land in the Spokane land
distriot, in Washington, in oontest of
the olaims of the Northern Paoiflo bas
been rejeoted. This reverses the deol
sion of the land office; and in tbe oon
test between George W. Brown against
tbe Northern Paoiflo the aeoretary
affirmed tbe lower decision, holding
for cancellation Brown's oash entry of
land in North Yakima land distriot
The straggle between the Northern
Paoiflo and John Sherer has resulted in
the affirmation of the decision of the
general land offloe, holding for canoel
laticn the selection of the company as
to land in the Waterville land distriot,
Washington. Sidney E. Finoh bas
scored a viotory over the same road,
and tbe seoretary has affirmed the deci
sion of tbe land office holding for can
cellation tbe oompany's selection in the
Spokane land district The oase of tbe
Northern Paoiflo against Jasper Round
tree, involving land in the Olympia
land district, has resulted in a viotory
for fionndtree, tbe secretary affirming
the decision of the land offloe.
The controversy between the North
ern Paoiflo Railroad Company and
William Lindsay bas resulted in a de
cision of the seoretary, holding for can
cellation the oompany's list so far as it
covers a traot in tbe North Yakima
land distriot, Wash., and awarding to
Lindsay tbe right to make homestead
entry of tbe land.
Seoretary Hoke Smith, also, in the
course of the batch of decisions disposes
of the oase of the Northern Paoiflo rail
road against George W. Stoat Be
affirms the decision of the land offloe
allowing tbe application of Stont for
entry of land in Lewiston land distriot,
Idaho.
Spain's Ependituree.
Santiago de Cuba, June 86. The
failure of Spain to conquer Cuban pa
triots, besides being proved by the con
tinuous defeats of the troops in the
field of battle, the lack of money in her
treasury and publio oredit she enjoys,
is also as plainly seen by tbe supreme
effort made in sending money, men and
war material to Onba since the begin
ning of the struggle, with such poor
suoceas. In Maroh, 1895, Spain sent
to Cuba (500,000; in April, $400,000;
in May, 11,521,000; in June, $1,800,
000; in July, $700,000; in August,
$1,600,000; in September. $1,400,000;
in October, $700,000; in November,
$1,700,000; in Deoember, $4,000,000;
in January, 1896, $3,000,000; in Feb
ruary, $3,000,000; a total of $19,821,
000. From Maroh, 1895, to April 10,
1896, Spain had sent to Cnba forty
generals, 563 chiefs, 4,768 captains
and lieutenants, 8.896 sub-lieutenants,
112.660 oorporals and soldiers, 148
cannon, 150,111 rifles, 5,000 bayonets,
28,124 cases of canister shot, 61,878.
868 cartridges, and 72,326 kilograms
of powder. These figures are taken
from El Liberal, one of the first news
papers of Madrid.
A Dlver'e Leap.
St Louis, June 28. J. Albert
Baker, aged 19, today made the first
dive into the Mississippi river ever
taken from tbe Eads bridge. He is a
pupil of Professor Bill Clarke, who
turned out many good divers. For
weeks young Baker has been fired with
an ambition to jump off the bridge,
and has been practicing almost daily
at tbe natatorinm. He was particu
larly anxious to jump head first, not
feet first, as all jumpers before him
had done. This be did this morning.
The distance from the top of the
bridge to tbe water is 125 feet Baker
struck the water head first, and soon
came up. He swam about 250 feet to
a waiting tug, and was taken on board,
without having received any hurt

RtSCUE IMPOSSIBLE.
Unavailing Effort, to It ring Up the En
tombed Miner.
Wilkesbarro, Pa., July I. It is a
settled fsot tonight that, of tbe small
army of men who entered tbe ill-fated
Twin abaft at Pittston on Monday, not
one survives. Not only is every ap
proach to their dark tomb barricaded
by enormous masses of rook and debris,
but it is known that in tbe mine there
Is a large quantity of water, wbloh la
increasing in volume every minute.
Thus the obanoes of recovering the
bodies are more remote than ever.
Prominent officials say that weeks or
months may be oonsumed in clearing
away the fallen coal in order to reach
the bodies of the viotims. A mine
superintendent of thirty-five years' ex
perience thinks tbe unfortunate men
have met tbe same fate tbat befell the
twenty-six miners who perished in No.
8 slope of tbe Susqnebana Coal Com
pany in Deoember, 1889. Tbe men
were oaoght in a "rush" of oulm and
water from the surface. Tbe bodies
were buried under a mountain of coal
refute. Three hundred men labored for
more than two weeks to rescue them,
but tbe more debris tbey took ont the
mora rathed in from the surfaoe open
ing.. As tbe task was a hopeless one,
it was finally abandoned, and the por
tion of the mine where the men died
was olosed.
Excitetment at the Twin shaft in
Pittston, where nearly 100 miners an
entombed, continues today. At tbe
month of the abaft, besides the wives
and children of the entombed men,
there are hundreds of persons, not resi
dents of Pittston alone, but visitors
from Scran ton and Wlkesbarre. Tbe
wives and children of tbe entombed
men stand near the opening of the
death ohamber urging the rescuers to
greater efforts.
Practically nothing has been ao
oomplished toward the recovery of the
men. There is scarcely an old miner
about the opening of tbe mine who does
not believe the men are all dead. Tbe
resoning party wbloh went into tbe
mine at 1 o'olock oame oat at 7. Tbe
foreman reports that the timbering is
going on as rapidly as possble. Tbe
work is necessarily slow, owing to the
danger of falling1 rooks loosened by the
explosion. It is hardly possible that
the actual digging, will begin before
late this afternoon. It the slope is not
completely oboked with debris, the res
oners may possibly be able to reach the
men within twenty-four hoars. Other
wise it may be two or three days.
FELL INTO HOT WATER.
A Child Scalded In Aatorla-Two Flah-
ermen Reported Drowned.
Astoria, Or., July 1. The infant son
of T. Raokkonen a fisherman of this
city, met with a shocking death this
morning. Shortly after the breakfast
hour, the child's mother made prepara
tions to give bim a bath and half filled
the bath tub with boiling water after
which she left the room temporarily.
A few minutes later the shrieks of the
child were beard and hastening to the
bathroom the mother found her ohild
bad fallen into the tub and scalded
himself in a terrible manner. His in
juries were snob tbat medical aid was
of no avail and be expired a few hoars
later.
A boat belonging to the Scandinavian
Packing Company was reported to have
been capsized in tho breakers today at
Peacock spit and tbe occupants lost
The aooident was witnessed by the men
in another boat but before the life-saving
crew could be notified tbe breakers
had added two more to their list of vic
tims. This afternoon, Roy Ferguson, a 12-year-old
boy, fell from Exohange street
to tbe beach, a dintanoe of twenty feet,
and bad a miraculous escape from
;death. In falling the boy turned a
complete somersault alighting upon bis
t?e and escaping with a badly sprain
ed ankle.

San Franolsoo, June 29. E. J. Bald
win, who is on trial In a breach of
promise suit brought by Lillian Ashley,
was on tbe witness stand today, and for
several hours did not have a particu
larly enjoyable time, as the plaintiff's
oounsel, upon cross-examination, prob
ed into the millionaire horseman's
private life and used his best endeavors
to release the defendant's family skele
tons from their closets. Baldwin de
nied most emphatically tbat be bad
ever offered or promised to adopt the
plaintiff, legally or any otber way,
either orally or in writing. He denied
that the scene alleged to have occurred
at tbe Boston depot was enaoted there,
but admitted that, upon bidding the
fair Lillian adieu, he drew her up to
blm with tbe intention of kissing her,
but as she demurred, he did not insist
His version of the soene at the Bald
win hotel, upon the night of Miss
Ashley's arrival from the East, was
totally at variance with that related so
dramatically by the plaintiff. Baldwin
said he had been married four times
and divoroed onoe.
Attorney Crittenden oompelled the
defendant to reiterate every detail of
the soene in Miss Ashley's room at tbe
Baldwin hoteL Then the visit to Coro
nado was gone into, and Attorney Crit
tenden oompelled the defendant to
admit tbat be had deliberately gone to
a respectable hotel and falsely regis
tered, with the express purpose of aot
ing dishonestly.

although 66 years of sge, and the pro
prietor of one of the largest hotels in

the rules of another establishment He
admitted tbat, to tbe best of bis recol
lection, be had introduced Miss Ashley
to E. 8. Baboook, tbe proprietor ot the
Cornado hotel, as his daughter. The
defendant stated that he did not in
tend to take Miss Ashley to Cornado,
but, upon going to the train, found
ber awaiting him on the oars. He was
then asked, if that was the oase, to ex
plain what he meant by writing to the
plaintiff tbat he would take her to Ban
Diego, prior to Maroh, 1898. He de
nied that be had done so,' but was con
fronted with one of his letters to her,
and admitted that he had written to
