The Clyde liner Now YorE arrived bee tbia morning, convoyed by the u- nited States cruiser Newark, aud thumioister instructed the captain of the vessel to discharge his cargo at the wharf. An agreement had been made by Ministtr Powell and Crtn mander Minl-ir with tie insurgents and government that neither party should fire wb.il the New York was at the wharf discha'ging. The gov ernment kept this agreement, but the insurgents fired on the steamer and on a launch from ' the cruiser Columbia, which was entering the river. ' Eeht rifle shots damaged the New York's woodwork, endang ering the lives of passengers and crew. " 1. The commaBder of the United States warship then decided to shell Pajurito, near this city,, the place occupied by toe insurgents and to land 300 marines with the object of puoisninf; the insurgents f ir insult ing the United States flag and dam-, aging an American sttamer. At 2:30 the Newa k approached and opened fire, tea shells. The insurgents fired upon the marines while they were landing, wounding so me of them. The marines re turned the fire and the insurgei.t3 ran away. . The marines landed,, were divid ed into two columns and searched the house?, woods and busher. They then followed the insurgents, who firedwhile the marines weie reloading. The result of the bom bardment n not known. The New York left here at 5 ' P.

Eugene, Feb. 19. A report comes from Wolf Creek, 20 miles wet of Eugene, of a desperate en counter between Wade Hayes and a couger last Sunday. Hayes was going through tbe timber when he saw the cougar on a log watching a deer trail. With a 32-calibre re volver be shot the couear, the shot taking effect in the neck. At this the animal sprang upon Hayes and a hand to hand cot flic t ensued. Hayes tried io eboot tbe animal in tbe head, but tbe cougar Illocked this move by taking hand, revolver and all into bis mouth, the revolver saving the band from a terrible crushing. The young man then managed with his left hand (o get his knife from his pocket and with this cut the animal's throat. The cougar then released his prey and soon fell dead. The cougar was a large one and the conflict most desperata and it was by a combfTlatioD of luck and presence of mind that Hayes remains to tell to story. - Robnrgv 0'.t.Feb.'.2t.A. large siiae tf f-artn nd ri-ck obstructed, te S'li t'Tn Pacific railroad track .t Itviberi", Hills -12 mil8 eootb if here, last evening.
