Porto Rico.
LIGHTHOUSES ARE RELIGHTED
Marine Landed Without Resistance at
Cape San Juan Troopship Are Scat
tered Troop) Met by a Deputation
of Citizens at Cape" San Juan.
San Juan, Porto Rico, via D. W. I.,
Aug 8. The Americans have taken
peaceful possession oi the eastern por
tion of the island.
Small parties of marines have been
landed, who have lighted the lamps in
the lighthouses at Cape San. Juan and
other lighthouses along the' coast.
They met with no resistance. Indeed,
at Cape San Juan . deputations of citi
zens oame out to meet them.
The warships now in this vicinity
are the Mongomery, Annapolis, New
Orleans, Puritan and Amphitrite. The
two former are looking for the troop
transports which left the United States,
and have scattered all about the island.
The Annapolis rounded up the Whit
ney, Florida and Raleigh yesterday,
and they ara at Cape San Juan. '
There seems to have been a serious
mistake as to the rendezvous, for no
two ships got to the same place, and it
will take several days to locate them
and get them to Ponce, Where General
Mile is awaiting them.
Off San Juan the cruiser New Or
leans alone maintains the blockade.
The city is grim and silent, but back
of her hollow walla there will be plen
tv of determination and fight when
the Americans open fire.
Captain-General Marias has issued
a proclamation, in the course of which
he savs:
"Spain has not sned for peace, and 1
can drive off the American boats now,
as 1 did Sampson's attempt before."
A daughter of the captain-general is
helping to drill the gunners in the
forts. Altogether there are 9,500
Spanish regulars in the city. .
The troops of the enemy who are
retreating from Ponce and the other
towns on the south coast occupied by
the Amerioans have not ret arrived,
Americana Assisted by Insurgents.
Madrid,- Aug. 8. An official dis
patch from Porto Rico says: "Ameri

without regard to peace negotiations,
Krag-Jorgensens are being issued. The
second and Third Wisconsin are mov

. today. . .
Colonel Hillings has captuied 5,000
sacks of rice. Thus far the enemy has
ot molested him.
Major-Qeneral Brooke's landing at
Arroyo was successful. The troops
from the Roumanian, four batteiies
oi the Twenty-seventh Indiana, the
First Missouri, the First Pennsylvania
and the Fifth Illinois, are disembark
ing there. The Morgan troop ot the
Fifth cavalry and the Mississippi ccm
raissaries have arrived here.
GAUTEMALA REVOLUTION.
Morales Has TOOO Men, and I Sup
ported by Wealth.
San Francisco, Aug. 8. The follow
ing message regarding the revolution
in Guatemala has been received in this
city from a friend and supporter of
General Morales, now at Tampa
chula:
"Prospero Morales is at San Marcos
uesealtengo favors- the revolution
We are on the wav to Ocos.
"MIGUELIS."
Morales is said to have 5,000 Rem
ington rifles and 700 men. Details of
the tevolt are hard to ootain, as tele
graphio communication is interrupted
Morales is represented to have little
means of his own, but he is supported
by men of wealth in the liberal party,
There is believed to be an understand'
ing between Jose Leon Castilla and Mor
ales, both of whom are candidates for
the presidency, that the one who has
the strongest following will receive
the other's support. What they are
bent on is the defeat of Cabrera.
Klot at Oshkoth.
Ushkosh, Wis., Ang. 7. Rioting has
been resumed by the striking wood
workers here, on account ot the sash
and-door men trying to run the plants
with non-union labor. At 6 o'clock
this morning the strikers congregated
and clubbed and stoned the workmen
who were trying to reach Morgan's
mill. Thirty policemen 'were dis
patched to reinforce the small squad
on duty there, but when the police ar
rived the crowd set on them with sticks
and Btones in a rough manner. The
police used their clubs freely and the
street was finally cleared at the ex
dense of many broken heads and
score of arrests.
Russia Trying to Secure a Fort.
London, Aug. 8. Replying to
question in the house of commons, the
parliamentary secretary for the foreign
office, Mr. Curaon, said her majesty'
covernment had heard that great pow
er was endeavoring to obtain a port on
the Peisian eull. Two-thirds of the
trade of the gnlf was British, Mr
Curzon added, wherefore the govern
tnent was especially interested in the
matter. The power mentioned, it it
said, beyond doubt, is Russia-
CLOUDS OF WAR.
ngland and Bnssla Prepare for Trouble
British Navy on the Alert.
London, Aug. 9. That extreme dip
lomatic tension exists between St. Pet
ersburg and Loudon is generally admit
ted today, though officials deprecate
the alarmists' reports which were cur
rent yesterday. It is hoped that the
firmer stand adopted by the Marquis
of Salisbury during the last few days,
hich seems to already created some
misgiving at Petersburg, will have the
desired affect in arresting Russian ag
gressiveness. As evidence of the fact
that Great Britain appreciates the
gravity of the sitnation, the press
learns that the admiralty is preparing
for all emergencies, and that it will
soon be ready to mobilize.
Every oiBoer and man on furlough
or half pay has been assigned to a ship
and instructed to be in readiness to join
at the earliest moment. Therefore,
practically every ship in the British
navy at the present moment has a full
war "complement ready to go to sea
when the time arrives. According to
Paris advices Admiral Bedelliere, com
manding the French China squadron,
has cabled a demand for reinforcements,
and a large credit to be applied to erect
ing fortifications. There is suspicion
here that the action of the French ad
miral means support of Russian designs.

denas yesterday.. The Spanish sloop
was the Christina and was waded with
hsh, a quantity of which was served up
for breakfast to the Hudson's men, who
had been out a month and had little
left in the way of provisions. Three
Spaniards who '.were on the Christina
put off in their tender when they saw
the Hudson approaching and gained a
kev just off shore.

SUPPLIES FOR CUBANS.
Steamer Wanderer Made Three Success
ful Landings
Key West, Fla., Aug. 8. The steam
ship Wanderer- returned here today,
after effecting a successful landing of
arms and ammunition at three differ
ent points on the Cuban coast. She
left here early in July with about 40
Cubans and 11 members of the Third
United States cavalry, to protect the
landing of about 2,000 rifles and car
bines, with nearly 1,000,000 cartridges.
July 23 she attempted to discharge
her cargo at Bahia Honda, province of
Pinar del Rio, but was fought off, by a
foioe of 700 Spanish, who peppered the
ship's hull with Mauser bullets, killed
throe Cuban scouts, who were waiting
to receive the expedition and wounded
six of the Wanderer's crew. The
steamer then oame back to Key West,
left three injured men in the hospital
ere, and started on her second attempt.
This time she Went to a point about
six miles eaBt of Bahia Honda where
she met a small party of insurgents
from Colonel Zarillo's forces, but no
Spanish. About one-third of her cargo
was discharged ; here, and 25 Cubans
were put ashore. ,.; ... ....
The Wanderer then headed for the
mouth of the Manati river, province of
Puerto Principe, where, on the night
of July SO, she landed without difficul
ty about the Same quantitv of arms
and ammunition and Beven Cubans.
From there she went to Puerto Pa
dre, in. the same province, where the
remainder of her cargo and men dis
embarked. All three landings were
made without the necessity for firing a
shot.
COALING STATION IN SAMOA
Work of Improving Pango Pango
Bar'
bor Will Begin at Once.
Chioago, Aug. 8. A special to the
Record from Washington says: The
president has decided to make practical
use of American rights at Pango Pango
harbor, Samoa, and the establishment
of a fully equipped coaling. station there
will be undertaken at once. With this
view Civil Engineer Frank P. Cham
bers,:riow'oa duty at the New York
navy yard, has been ordered to Wash
ington for consultation with . the au
thorities prior to departing next week
with offloial instructions and full power
to carry out the important piojeot
Pango Pango is the only harbor of
any value in the Samoan group, and
one considered by naval officers as of
scarcely lees strategic importance in
the Pacific ocean than Pearl harbor,
Hawaii.
The decision to utilize the conces
sion secured by Admiral Meade, zs
years ago giving the United States per
manent ownership of the harbor, indi
cates sufficiently the administration's
appreciation of the vastly extended
iiere of Araencan interests in the Pa
cific. It is the inauguration of a great
naval and commercial policy in that
direction, due in great measure to the
responsibilities incurred in Asiatic wa
ters.

to be numbered among the contributor
to this patriotio undertaking. Very
sincerely yours,

Moonshiners In New York.
New York, Aug. 8. For over two
months, Colonel Williams, the chief
internal revenue agent of this district
has had agents watching a vinegar fac
tory in Broklyn and a yeast nianufaO'
tory in New York, for the purpose
securing evidence of the manufacture
of illict whisky. This work resulted
early today in the arrest of three men
the seizure of 27 barrels of whisky and
the closing up of the yeast manufac
tory. The whisky was made at the
Brooklyn malt vinegar works. It has
been the custom to ship the whisky to
New York on two-horse trucks, 20 to
25 barrels at a time, and usually twi
loads were delivered every day. The
other alleged illicit concern is known
as the Manhattan Yeast Company.

temporarily, the relations of the two
countries aie to continue practically un

TO RETURN HOME
General Shatter's Army
Ordered to Leave
at Once.
TRANSPORTS ARE ON HAND
Further Stay in Cuba Would Mean Loss
of the Army Men Weakened by Ma
laria Will Be Beady Frey for an
Epidemic of Yellow Fever-
Washington, Aug. 6. The president
this afternoon had a conference with
Secretary Alger, Secretaryy Long and
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen,
which action was taken for the
prompt transportation of General Shaf-
ter'B army from Cuba to Montauk
point, Long Island. It was decided
that there were sui3cient vessels - off
the Cuban coast for the purpose. The
dispatch of troops home accordingly
will 'begin at once. ' '
Colonel Theodore Rooevelt, of the
rough riders, succeeded in hurring the
movements of the war department.
though in his disregard of the conven
tionalities he has drawn upon his head
a rather sharp rebuke from the secre
tary of war, who evidently regards the.
course pursued by Colonel Roosevelt as
being calculated to injure discipline,
though inspired by the most worthy
motives. - It is or.lv fair to state that
the war department for some time has
been intent upon removing these troops,
and more .than' a week ago General
Shafter was instruorted to cheer up the
soldiers by publicly informing them of
the determination,,. It was rather a
question of ways and means- than a
lack of intention to redeem this prom
ise,.that caused the delay.
As far as the question ot . removing
the the troops back into the mountains
was concerned (the question which
seems to have precipitated the indigna
tion meeting among the American com
manders at Santiago), it is learned that
the medical department made no such
recommendation. All that it had to
say on this subject was that, if the
troops must be near Santiago, an effort
should be made to remove them at once
to some healthier camping ground.
Surgeon-Geneari Sternberg agrees
thoroughly with the opinion expre
by the signers of the "round robin" at
Santiago, that men who have suffered
from the severe malarial fevers of the
south coast of Cuba, so far from being
Immune against attacks of yellow fever,
as has been asserted in some .. quarters.
are aotually In , very innoh 'greater
danger than those who have escaped
the malaria. It is, however, the ex
pectation that all of the American
troops win have been removed from
Santiaeo to the United States by the
end of this month, and that is probably
the very best that can be done under
the ciroum stances.
SITUATION EXPLAINED.
Destruction of Shatter's Army at San,
tlago Involved.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 6. As an
explanation of the situation at Santiago
the following letter . was ..handed to a
press correspondent for publication:
"ToMajor-General Shafter Sir: In
the meeting of the general and medical
officers called by you at the palace this
morning we were all, as you know,
unanimous as to what should be done
with the army. To keep us here, in
the opinion of every officer command.
ing a division of brigade, will simply
involve the detttuction of thousands,
There is no possible reason for not
shipping practially the entire command
North at once. Yellow fever cases are
very few in the cavalry division. But
rn this division there have been 1,600
cases of malarial fever. Not a man
has died from it, but the whole com'
uiand is so weakened and shattered as
to be ripe for dying like rotten sheep,
When a real yellow lever epidemio
strikes us, and it is bound to do so 'If
we stay here at the height of the sick'
ness season, AuguBt and the beginning
of September, it will, in all human
probability, mean an appalling dis
aster, for the surgeons here estimate
that over half the army, if we are here
during the sickly season, will die. The
sick list is large, though its exceeding
4,000 affords but a fair index of tbe
debilitation of the army. Not 10 per
oent of the men are fit for active work.
"The fever immune regiments
ordered here are sufficient to garrison
tbe city and surrounding towns, and
there is aboslntely nothing for ns to
do here, and there has not been since
tbe city surrendered. I write only
because I cannot see our men go to de
struction without striving so far as lies
within me to avert a doom as fearful
as it is unnecessary and undeserved.
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
"Colonel Commanding First Brigade."
After Colonel Roosevelt had taken
the initiative, all the general officers
united in a "round robin" address to
General Shafter.
Struck Near Che Heart.
Corvallis, Or., Aug. 8. Charles Ry
der, an employe at the Corvallis saw
mill, was accidentally killed this after
noon. He was running the gang edger,
when a small piece of slab wood was
caught in the saw and hurled with
such force as to lift the covering from
tbe machinery and strike him near the
heart He breathed a few moments
after he was struck, bat never spoke.
He was unmarried. Us was 82 ysari
f age.
MILES' ARMY HALTS.
Forward Movement Await the Arrival
of Transports.
Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 6. So far
as known no forward movement will be
made by the American troops until the
arrival of moie transports, which are
expected hourly. The present prospect
is that there will be no actual fighting
for several days.
Last night a scouting party under
Major Reed, of the Sixteenth Penn
sylvania, was fired upon by Spanish out
posts between Juana Diaz and Coamo.
The fire was returned, and it is believed
that one Spaniard was wounded.
The transport Roumanian, which
went aground at Juanica, has been
floated, and the four batteiies of artil
lery have disembarked.
General Stone Encounters Opposition.
Ponce, Porto Rico, via St. Thomas,
Aug. 6. General Roy Stone, while
reconnoitering northward along the road
leading to Arecibo, on the north coast,
with a company of the Second Wis
consin regiment, encountered opposi
tion at Utuado, where a small force of
Spanish regulars and volunteers, had
been instructed f by Captain-General
Macias to resist to the bitter end. - The
Spaniards refused to surrender, and
General Stone telephoned back to. Ad
juntas that he would push on. As the
troops have to move in single file, 10
men can stop a regiment in the moun
tainous country.
No Word From Miles.
Washington, Aug. 6. Today passed
without news to the war department
from General Miles, and in this case
the department feels that "no news is
good news." It is believed that at the
rate of progress he is reported to have
been making in his march across the
island the general will be at the doors
of San Juan by the end of next week.
No very deBnerate defense oi Porto
Rico's capital is expected.
A FATAL STORM.
Considerable Damage Done In Phila
delphia.
Philadelphia, Aug. 5. -This city was
visited today by one of the most ter
rific electrical storms ever known. The
telegraphic, and telephone service
throughout the city was at a standstill
for several hours. Cellars and first
floors of hundreds of business blocks
and dwellings were flooded. In the
basements of the city ball and postoffice
the water, .rose to such a depth that
the fires under the boilers were extin
guished. The basementB ot Bimbel
Bros.' and Wanamaker'a, two of . the
largest department stores in the city,
were flooded and heavy damage done.
Peter Schell, aged 28, was drowned
in the cellar of his home at Twenly
third and Christian streets. He was
working in thde cellar, removing some
of his property, when he was caught by
the rush of water. Before he could
reach the stairway the water rose to the
first floor and he was drowned.
One of the large oil tanks of the At
lantic Refining Company at Gibson's
point, in the lower end of the city, was
struck by lightning and entirely de-
itrnved bv fire. The loss Is estimated
at $30,Oo6 A number of firemen were
overcome by the heat while fighting the
fire, but they were soon revived.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Bonn! oi Trade Brokers. )ll to 714 Chamber oi
Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.
Wheat is being held back by farmers,
who refuse to sell at present figures.
It must not be expected that there will
be a free movement nntil the spring
wheat starts. The majority of the
wheat delivered in the past 30 days ,
has gone to exporters to fill contracts
made months ago. Tbe buying to fill
these contracts has taken the bulk of the
arrivals, so that millers and elevator
people have had to compete most of the
time with exporters. The July deal is
now out of the way. Foreigners are heav
ily short of September and December,
and nntil reoeipts Increase the export
ers will find it difficult to fill their con
tracts unless they have taken advan
tage of the breaks to cover. Every one
admits there is more than enough
wheat to go around, and the trade is
extremely light.
Prospects in the northwest are for a
200,000-bushel crop or about the same
as harvested in 1895. Elevator men
there are also hedging hero.
In Europe the crop sitnation, as com
piled by Broomhall of the Liverpool
Corn Trade News, was given as follows:
The warm breezy weatherin the Uni
ted Eingdm ot the past 17 days has
been of almost inestimable valne to
farmers. The ceral crops at the same
time have come in at a great pace, and)
if only a ootinuance of bright sunshine
could be assured for another 17 days,
harvest would be in full swing in many
important districts. Unfortunately the
weather is now unsettled indeed, the
summer seems to be completely broken
again. .
