THEY BLAME BLANCO Ruiz Said . to Have Been Driven to His Doom. THE BAD FEELING IS INTENSE la Reported That Ruiz Protected Vainly Against Undertaking the Fatal Miasion. New York, Dec. 27. Indignation ovor the killing of Colonel Ruiz is in tense in Havana, says the Herald cor respondent. Many blame General Blanco, alleging that he forced General Ruiz to go, in spite of the tatter's ro ft'Htntions that it meant certain death. All accounts agree that Colonel Aran liuen was perHonally opposed to to the infliction of the extreme penalty, and would have saved Ruiz, but his own life would have been sacrilioed had he lone so, in opposition to the orders of his superiors. A cablegram has been received stat ing that General Lee has been instruct ed by Secretary Sherman to notify Gen eral Gomez and other rebels that they need expect no American sympathy if they continued to permit firing on flags of truce. General Lee says he has re ceived no instructions, adding that he knew of no instance of the display by the Spaniards of a flag ot truce during this war. It has never been claimed by the Spanish authorities that Colonel Ruiz was under a flag of truce, that in Ntitution being unknown to the Spanish army in Cuba, its use being interdicted as involving recognition of the insur gents as belligerents. Much excitement was caused on Sun day morning when a small white war whip, bearing a strong resemblance to the United States gunboat Annapolis, was seen approaching the harbor. A rumor spread that an American war ship was coming in, and the people be came frenzied when the stranger's guns opened in a salute to' the forts, many Ixdioving the city was being bombard ed. It was soon apparent that the ves sel was the German schoolship Stein, but several hours elapsed before quiet was rebtored in the city. AILlast night raging fires have been visible southwest of Havana, only ten miles away. Standing cane on the Toledo and Potugalete stations, which was about to commence grinding, was net on fire by the rebels and completely itostroyed. The fire caused great coil KlernaUon in Havana. Within Sight of Havana. Havana, Dec. 27. The recent un fortunate mission of Colonel Ruiz to the camp of Colonel Arangnen in this province calls attention sharply to the remarkable circumstances that a Span isli officer and a messenger from the American consulate could reacljjthe in mirgent camp in an hour after leaving Havana, when the troops have never found it, and causes sharp comment on the military operations. The camp is . few miles' from a Spanish fortress, and its location has beeu known for nine months. Ruiz' friends among the volunteers and armed firemen of Havana censure Heneral Blanco, and call for vengenance m the insurgents. From their camp the insurgents have sent a defiant com muniuation to the troops to come and take it. ' JUST OUT FROM DAWSON. Intent Uenort la That There la Food Enough to Lnt All Winter, Victoria, B. C. Deo. 27. D. P Quinlan, who arrived here this after noou on the City of Seattle, brings late news from Dawson. He says there is enough food in Dawson to laBt tha 8.000 men now there all winter, those without food 2,000 in number hav ing gone to Fort Yukon. Two bun dred will come out over the trails. Major Walsh, who is now encamped at Big Salmon, will endeavor to break a trail through to Dawson, but. he does not expect to reach there until rebru rv 1. He savs he will allow miners to stake claims in blocks of 10, retain ing the adjoining 10 for the govern ment. All the claims on Quartz creek are now staked,- and il will probably he as rich as Eldorado and Bonanza creeks. The Seattle brought news of the death of Samuel Wyckoff, of Tacoraa, December 11 at Skagway, of congestion of the brain. The application of Bernard J. Moore for the patent of 160 acres oi land comprising a part of the townsite of Skagway, has been rejected by Register Dudley, of Sitka. Blltiard In New York. Rochester, N. Y., Deo. 27. A bli ard is raging in Wyoming county, 40 miles south of this city. Nearly four feet of snow has fallen in the last 24 hours, and the storm continues with no siiM of abatement. Roads are blocked and the farmers are shut up in thei houies. Engineers and firemen run ning on railroads eouth and southwest of Buffalo report much trouble with heavy snow drifts. The Lake Shore limited, due at Buffalo at 7:50 A. M., was blockaded in four feet of snow near Angela, and was delayed two hours. The storm struck Syraouse tonight, and continued late in the nigLt. Near ly all trains at that place were delayed. A Widow' Penaion. Washington, Dec 27. A pension hai been granted to the widow of Knud Knudsen, a soldier in the late war, the back pay of which aggregates over f 4,000. The man was a native of Nor way, and was married to the woman who gets the pension in April, 1858. Knodsen emigrated to this country in 1861, enlisted January 27, 1862, in company H, Fifteenth regiment, Wis consin volunteer infantry, and died in ervica October 16, 1863. TO ACQUIRE MORE TERRITORY Senator Lodge Want TJe to Bay St. Thoinaa, St. Croix and St. John. Chicago, Deo. 28 A special to the Times-Herald from Washington says: Senator Lodge is preparing a bill fa voring the ourohase of the three islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John, owned by Denmark, in the West In dies.- The senate passed a resolution a year ago asking the state department to ascertain whether the islands were still for sale, at what prioe they, were held, and whether any other country was after them. Denmark has replied that she is still willing to sell, and that two Euiopean governments are now nego tiating for their purchase. These are supposed to be Great Britain and Ger many. The United States has been discussing the purchase for nearly SO years. In 1868, negotiations went so far that a treaty was negotiated for the purchase, by which this country was to pay $8,000,000 for the islands, but it failed of ratification. It has been de termined by Denmark to either sell these islands or give them away. St. Thomas has a harbor large enough to accommodate the navies of the entire world, and, in view of the advantages to be gained. Senator Lodge is sanguine of securing an appropriation that 'will enable the islands to be transferred to the jurisdiction of the Stars and Stripes. The three islaudshave a total of 100 square miles of territory and a population of 40,000. INDIANS FIRED FIRST. Special Agent Reynolds' Report on the Koutt County Conflict. Denver. Dec. 28. The report of Special Agent E. B. Reynolds, on the recent conflict between lniians and game wardens in Routt county, is a complete vindication of Warden Wilcox and his men. Mr. Reynolds, alter tak- ng the testimony of six Indians ami the 12 wardens who were m the un fortunate affair, said: "I am fully convinced, after Imving examined the case fully, and after tail ing the testimony of both parties, after meeting the men face to face and read ing their characters and noting their demeanor, that the Indians fired the first shot." He further states that no blame whatever can by any possibility be at tached to the wardens. He finds that, after the first shot, the shooting became general, and when the smoke cleared away.it was found that several Indians had been killed. The wardens de clared there were six Indians shot, while the Indians say there were but three killed. Mr. Reynolds agrees with the Indians on this point ANOTHER SOCIETY SUICIDE. That of Mlm Annie Virginia Well, Friend of Misa Herbert. Washington, Deo. 28. The death of Miss Leila Herbert, daughter of the ex secretary of the navy, is given as the reason of the suicide which occurred to day of Miss Annie Virginia Wells, an accomplished young society woman, and daughter of Lewis S. Wells, a well known attorney. The young woman shot herself through the heart with her brother's revolver at the residence of her father, 1311 N Btreet. Miss Wells bad met Miss Herbert a number of times, and was very much attached to her. She herself had been confined to the house for four months by illness, and this, combined with the shock caused by the death of her friend, brought on melancholia, which resulted in suicide. The deed was apiwrently unpremeditated, and, coming imme diately after the Christmas fostivities in the house, completely prostrated her aged mother. Miss Wells was 33 veuis of age, and very beautiful. HE INTENDED TO KILL. Rut Hla Victim Died of Heart Failure Cauaed by Excitement. San Francisco, Dec. 28. A Japanese known as Je Tagoni fired four shots at Mary Costello, a Spanish woman, in the lodging-house at 91 Sacramento street, this morning. None of ths bullets struck the woman, but she drop ped dead. The body bears no sign of a wound, and the physicians say death was caused by heart failure, induced b extreme excitement. About a year ago, Tagoni opened an employment agency, and engaged Miss Costello as an assistant. By promising marriage he induced her to live with him. Recently she left the place where they had resided. After making many threats to kill her on sight, the Japan ese met her today and accomplished his murderous design, though in an unex pected and sensational maimer. Digging Near Iyea. Dyea, Alaska, Dec. 28. Consider able excitement prevails here at present over the reported gold finds on one ol the tributaries of the Dyea river, only a mile above tha town. Prospectors have been flocking in, and have staked the creek off for a distance of 10 miles. The creek has been named Boom creek, and from 200 to 300 men are now on the ground and at work. The surface indications are excellent, running in places 25 cents to the pan, and increasing as the shafts go down Many companies are forming, both to work claims and purchase properties. All the diggings are on American toil. and many more claims will be staked off within the next few days. Maxzaltlnt'i Laat Bullfight. City of Mexico, Dec 28. The last of the series of bullfights by Mazzaltinl was given this afternoon, and was at' tunded by 7,000 people. Tomas Muz. zaltini narrowly escaped with his life, being tossed by an infuriated boll, and gored in the hand, len norsea were killed, and six bulls, tbe usual ntim ber. The fight was not np to the usual standard. Seven lions are among tha pets of tha sultan of Moroeoo. . THE ALASKAN FLEET. Steamship! Headed for the Nortaweat liusinens. The fleet of steamships which is heading for the Pacific Northwest to participate in the Alaska rush is still receiving additons. The latest vessel reported is the British steamship Amur, which a Victoria trading company has purchased in London. The Amur is a comparatively new vessel, having been built in 1800. She is 216 feet long, 28.1 feet beam, and 11.2 feet depth of hold, and is 570 tons net register. In addition to about a dozen resurrectod vessels already on this coast that will he in the Alaska service the' following steamships are now reported as listed for the Paoifio .Northwest, some of them having already sailed: Bothnia, Scythia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Cottage City, Curacoa, Cone mangh, City of Columbia,. Valencia, Amur, Brixham. Oregon Note. Sleds are now being used on the Union-Cornucopia stage line, from a point four miles east of Medioal springs to Cornucopia, in Union oounty. The heaviest surf experienced since 1884 prevailed on the Curry county beaoh during the storms hist week. Many of the miners lost their beach fix tures. The report of Agent Emery shows a total of 1,020 Indians on the Klamath reservation, an inorease of 59 over last year. These red men have been de prived of allowances for the past 12 years, and most of them are supporting themselves well. A Lakeview paper says that a scow, to carry freight, has been put on Goose lake, in Lake county. The scow will be fitted with sails and will be navi gated as well as may be that way until gasoline engines can be put on board of her A Southern Pacific official says that op to December, the present season's shipment of hops out of Oregon amount ed to 20,000 bales, and, since that time, 5,000 more bales have gone forward, making a total of 31,000, orneaily one half of the 1897 crop. The city council of Salem has accept ed the proposition of E. J. Swafford,. ex-city treasurer, and Goorge Williams and J. A. Baker, his bondsmen, where by they agree to pay $4,000 before De cember 81, in full payment of the bal ance due the city from ex-Treasurer Swafford. Stock Inspector Vandvert, of Crook county, will soon have finished bis semi-annaual inspection of the sheep in Crook county. Only about 15 bands, out of about 330,000 head, remain un inspected. In all this lot, ho has only found three bands infected with Boab, and heard of two others that he will in spect later. The Brownsville Times is authority for the statement that the greater part of the hops ill that vicinity are yet in the hands of the growers. Joseph and Pieroe Hume and Miohael Weber last week shipped their '97 crop to a New York commission house, and the hop men are anxiously awaiting the returns of this shipment. The work of clearing out the dirt from the quarry at Point Terrace, on the Siuslaw, was finished last week. Part of the machinery has already been taken to the mouth of the river, and stored in the buildings there, and the rest will be placed there soon. Mr, Jacoburger, who has had charge of the work, informs the Florence West that he hopes to have all this business in Florence arranged so he can leave this week. About 45,000 tons of rock have been used and about 450 feet of jetty built this year, pays the West. The channel has changed so that nearly all the water flows through the south entrance. lu the trial of Allen Logan in Dallas last week, on the charge (if murdering Enoch Sylvester, the head of the dead was produced in court. ilie prosecu tion secured identification of the grew. some piece of evidence, and showed the jury fractures in the hack part of the skull sufficient to cause death. The defense, however, produced as witnesses tlrfeo of the physicians who had been present at tha post-mortem, and estab lished that the careful examination these physicians had made was with special reference to establish the faot whether or not the blow delivered by Logan had fractured the skull, and each swore positively that at the post mortem no such fractures were to be found. The head turned out to be a boomerang for the prosecution, and it probably contributed to the verdict in Logan's fuvor. It has been many years since the tax collections of Umatilla county have showed such satisfactory footings as they do this fall. For the last two preceding years there was not an at tempt made to oollect tffe overwhelm ing list of delinquencies with which the books at the sheriff's office were filed, for the taxpayers were in such straits that it would have been of little avail to do so. But it remained for 1897 to be the banner year, and for the last several weeks the delinquent accounts have been rapidly paid off until there remain but comparatively fow to oollect. . For three years pre ceding the present tax collection year, the amonnts of delinquencies that have been paid this fall amount to $32, 417.06, apportioned among the periods as follows: Taxes of 1895, $23,602.75 1894, $7,314.81; 1893, $1,500. E. P. Wier, of Fossil, in Gilliam county, shipped several carloadsof hogs from Fossil to Portland last week. Hoffman & Hastain, of Fossil, are pur chasing hogs and turning them into bacon. Last week they received 20 head from Frank Knox that averaged 271 pounds in weight, and 10 head from J. D. Livingston that averaged 170. ' The prices paid were 4 cents and 3.90 per pound, live weight, re speotively, which made the bogs bring over $11 a bead. WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. Office of Downing, Hopkins & Co., Chicago Board of Trade Brokers, 71 1-714 Chamber of Com merce Building, Portland, Oregon.) ' The trade has fallen into a way of thinking that the big receipts of the past week will clean up the surplus wheat that is liable to come out at present prices. Most of this wheat is contract, when it ; is all in the bulls think that they will control the situa tion. In the Northwest the claim is made that 80 per cent of ths orop has been marketed, and that country elevator stocks are very light compared with previous years. Every one is looking for a sharp falling off in receipts, after the first of the year; also for higher prices, while the situation on all sides is admittedly bullish the world over, the prices have not responded to what the bulls think the position of stocks to estimate reqniremeuts justifies. They have fixed the standard of values in their own minds, and because they are not realized the feel disappointed. Most of them are too much inolined to lose sight of the fact that the price ol wheat has reached a point where sub stitutions of other a-tioles outs greatly into the consumption, and that the speculators are more solicitous as to the price and the probable supplies than the consumers. The outlook for supplies from Ar gentine is unoertain, the probability being that the exportable surplus will not exceed 80,000,000 bushels. Trad ers loBe sight of the faot that Argen tine is a large country, and that unfa vorable conditions will hardly exist over the entire territory. Harvesting is now in progress, and the rains might reduce the exportable surplus. There will be little wheat to ship from Australia, but ludia s pros pects are evidently good, judging from Ihe free offerings in Liverpool for Sep tember. The American visible supply this week showed a larger increase than expected, being 1,051,000 bushels more than last week, and now totals 86,616, 000 bushels, as compared with 54,443, 000 bushels at the same time last year.
