PREVENTED A CONFLICT.
French Cruiser Separated Colombian
and Venezuelan Gunboats.
CHICAGO, Sept. 20, via Haytien cable.
Refugees from Somieldik say that Co
lombia threatens to shoot Venezuelan
prisoners under a decree lately issued to
the effect that all foreigners aiding the
Colombian Liberal movement or Invading
Colombian soil shall be shot if caught
The Venezuelan General, Davila, is re
ported to be in bad favor with his gov
ernment, because of his recent defeat.
It is alleged here on good authority
that Venezuelan official circles are much
perturbed and annoyed over the reported
action of the French cruiser Suchet, when
the steamer Alexandre Bixio landed Co
lombian troops at La Hacha September
9. Information has been forwarded to
Caracas from Venezuelan officials at
Guajlra to the effect that the Suchet,
lying off La Hacha on the morning of
the 7th, perceived three gunboats with
out flags, supposedly Venezuelans. In
order to ascertain definitely she com
pelled the gunboats to show their flags,
which proved to be Venezuelan. Later
during the same day the Colombian gun
boat General PInzon arrived on the scene,
whereupon the Suchet, according to the
story of the Venezuelans, placed herself
between the General PInzon and the Ven
ezuelan gunboats, thus prventlng an ex
change of shots. Shortly after this the
General PInzon steamed away.
About aioon the same day, the Ven
ezuelan officials asser, the Alexandre
Bixio arrived under a French flag. The
Venezuelan gunboats showed no intention
to molest her; but they were apparently
anxious to attack the Colombians on
shore, who were landed there from the
Alexandre Blxlo. The Venezuelans say
the Suchet placed herself between their
gunboats and the Colombians during the
landing. France is generally supposed
to be friendly to Colombia, because of
canal concessions, and not especially
friendly to Venezuela, because of difter-J
ences over certain French claims which T
resulted m the withdrawal of the French
Minister from Caracas in 1S96.
THE ASPHALT LAKE CASE.
Hearing: Resumed Before the Ven
ezuelan Supreme Court.
CURACAO, Sept. 20, via Haytien cable.
The Red D. line steamer Philadelphia,
which arrived here today en route for
New York, brings advices from Caracas
that the "hearing before the Venezuelan
Supreme Court of the Warner-Qulnlan
syndicate against the New York & Ber
mudese Company for a determination of
the title to the Felicidad asphalt lake
was practically resumed September 16.
It appears that on the reconvening of
the court Monday the New York & Ber
mudese Company filed a petition contain
ing reasons why the court should refuse
a bond of 520,000 filed by the Bank of
Caracas for the syndicate. These reasons
were to the general effect that the bank,
under Its articles of Incorporation, was
not empowered to file such a bond with
out the consent of the stockholders,
which had not been obtained. The court
was still considering the case when the
Philadelphia left LaGuayra.
Dr. Bruzuel, counsel at Caracas for the
New York & Bermudese Company, was
thrown into jail last month by the Ven
zeuelan authorities, who pretended that
the arrest was made on political grounds.
He disclaimed .all knowledge for the rea
son for being taken into custody and de
clared that he was not concerned In pol
itics In any way. Upon recommendation
of his physician, he was removed from
the jail to the hospital In Caracas, where
the New York & Bermudese Company
had access to him for legal advice, and
the case was resumed Monday under his
direction. On Wednesday, however, Dr.
Bruzuel was again arrested and con
veyed from the hospital to the jail,
where he is inaccessible to his clients.

that there is protection for life in this or

are found murderers; people are
shot down in. their own homes; heads
of government are ruthlessly destroyed.
Will our milk-sop Congress ever act
for the people? These societies are or

they not named as treasonable. and
treated as all traitors should be? Why
are not these leaders arrested and im

Judge Raynor made an extended argu

against the advisability of opinions of
witnesses, and he was speaking when, at
1 o'clock, the court took a recess for an
hour for luncheon.
Promptly at 2 o'clock the court was
called to order by Admiral Dewey, and
Mr. Raynor resumed his argument in op
position to the admissibility of a.uestlons
intended to call out the opinions of wit
nesses. Replying, Judge-Advocate Lemly quoted
the record In the trial of Admiral Kep

within 'the discretion of the court to de
cide whether the opinion of witnesses
who had been on the ground should be
called for by the court. He thought,
however, that "the weight of authority
was against asking the opinion of a wit

as to the distance the squadron lay out
from Santiago, and the reply was that it
was three or four miles out during the
day time, and two or tnree miles out at
night The witness said that alter tne
bombardment of May 31 no further effort
had been made to destroy the Colon, be
cause the vessel had gone inside the har
bor. Captain C. M. Chester, who commanded
the Cincinnati, and who is now In com
mand of the Naval War College at New
port, was then called. Captain Chester
related an interview he had had with
Admiral Schley on board the Brooklyn off
the south coast of Cuba, May 20, 1898. He
had told the Admiral that from his ex
amination of the charts he believed coal
ing feasible, but he thought It would be
done under great disadvantages. He had
expressed the opinion that boats might be
used, or that a more secure point might
be gained under the lee 30 miles to the
eastward.
What Schley Said.
Major Thomas N. Wood, of the Marine
Corps, who commanded the marine force
on the Massachusetts during the Span
ish War. testified to the circumstances
connected with that vessel's operations
during the siege of Santiago. He said
that the second day after Santiago Bay
was reached by the flying squadron he
had seen the Cristobal Colon lying inside
the harbor; that there was at that time
another Spanish vessel of the Vlzcaya
class partly visible. He thought both
were In view for three or four days. The
witness also said that when Admiral
Schley had come aboard the Massachu
setts, previous to the bombardment of the
Colon, May 31, he had heard that officer
say to Captain Higginson: "We are going
in, but we will not go in sufficiently near
to endanger the vessels." He had been
told that the distance was to be 10,000
feet.
After the bombardment ceased, Majoi
Wood said, the Spanish shore batteries
continued to fire at the American ships.
At this point he had gone forward, where
he had again seen Commodore Schley.
"Did you hear orders or instructions
given by Commodore Schley after the
bombardment?" asked the Judge-Advocate.
The witness replied: "I went upon the
superstructure to ask If we were going In
again or going any closer, so as to know
whether we would have a chance to usa
the six-Inch batteries, of which I was in
command, and I heard, as I believe, Com
modore Schley say to Captain Higginson,
'Starboard your helm and let's get out ot
this.' "
"How clear is your recollection? Were
those his exact words?"
"As I remember, those were the exact
words, and at the time I considered them
as having been made by Commodore
Schley. There was quite a number of peo
ple there upon the forward part of tha
deck at that time, and from the recog
nition of the voice and the general direc
tion from which It came I took it to be a
remark made by the flag officer. I sup
pose I was probably eight feet .away from
the speaker when I heard this remark
made."
"Did you hear it distinctly?"
"I heard it fairly distinctly. There was
a bit of confusion going on at the time,
caused by persons walking around.
No Order of Battle.
Captain Giles B. Harber, now Naval
Attache at Paris and St. Petersburg, who
Tvas executive officer on board the Texas
during the Spanish War, was asked, in
the absence of Captain Philip, to give
a detailed account of the operations of
that vessel during the war, and he did so.
The Texas had been a part of the flying
squadron and the witness said that when
they steamed for Cienfuegos the flagship
had signalled: "We go to. Cienfuegos to
bag the Spaniards; wish you good luck."
In reply to questions he said that when
Cienfuegos was reached earthworks were
discovered "there, but no effort was made
to destroy them.
"Now, Captain," the Judge-Advocate
said, "I want to ask you, as executive
officer of the Texas, in case of the sud
den death or disability of Captain Philip,
who would have taken command of that
vessel'"
"I would naturally have," was the re
ply. "What Instructions did you have, writ
ten or verbal, respecting the order of
battle which the flying squadron was to
follow in case the enemy should suddenly
appear?"
- "The matter was never broached. The
commanding officer never gave me any,
nor did I know that he had any."
"You had no knowledge, then, of the
existence of any order of -battle, or wri
ten or verbal Instructions covering such
a contingency?" j
"No, sir."
The witness said that while lying off
Cienfuegos he, with others, had seen
lights from, the shore, which from their
nature they took to be signals, but that
no attention had been paid to them until
the 24th, when the Marblehead had ar
rived and, he understood, had responded
..0 fr--$ .' Q-
The Deserted Child.
to the signals and comtaunlcated with
those on shore.
Describing the sail to Santiago, the wit
ness said there had been rough weather,
but that the Texas could have made bet
ter time than It did.
He said that when the squadron arrived
In sight of the Yale and other Ameri
can vessels off Santiago, on the eve or
May 26, all the vessels cleared for action,
thinking they were vessels of the enemy.
When they discovered their mistake, Cap
tain Philip had signalled Captain WIsp,
of the Yale, saying, "Have you got them
In there?" to which the reply was, "I
think we have."
Coaling; at Sea.
Mr. Hanna, who conducted the examina
tion of this witness, asked him particu
larly concerning the trip from Santiago
toward Key West, when the squadron
started for the latter place in order to
coal. The questions and replies on this
point were as follows:
"Have you had any experience In coal
ing vessels In the waters of the West In
dies, or in any part of the world?"
"I had some experience shortly before,
while lying at Tortugas."
"If, as executive officer of the Texas,
you had received. Instructions at that time
on the 26th to coai. sfilp what would you.
have done?" ''..
"I would have coaled ship, probably."
"Was there anything In the conditions
of the weather or the sea then prevail
ing to have prevented the Texas from
taking coal on the 26th?"
"On the evening of the 26th I do not
think the sea was any heavier than ex
isted when I successfully coaled ship at
Tortugas, although the collier was a
heavier vessel. 1 coaled ship at Tortu
gas with a considerable sea, the collier
having only about 3500 tons."
"Of course, I can understand you don't
go to sea to coal ship, hut In an emergency
you think you could have coaled the Texas
on that day?"
"I believe we could have taken coal on
the Texas, yes."
Relating the particulars of the return to
Santiago after starting for Key West the
witness said that coal had been taken on
the night of the 27th. When Captain
Philip had been asked If the Texas coula
coal he had replied: "We can try." The
trial had been made and the effort had
proved successful, the witness said.
Captain Harber also told of seeing the
Colon Inside the harbor at Santiago on
the morning of May 29, and said It had
remained there until June 1.
Asked concerning his knowledge of the
Brooklyn's loop during the battle of San
tiago, the witness said he did not see
the loop made. He said In reply to ques
tions that the blockade was maintained
by the vessels steaming In column back
and forth In front of the mouth of the
harbor at a distance from seven to 10
miles out the greater distance being that
maintained at night At this distance
there was no difficulty in seeing the shore
during the day time and on i clear nights,
but when the weather was bad it was
difficult to see the shore In the day time,
and sometimes under those circumstances
impossible to see it at night.
Captain Harber volunteered the state
ment that on May 27, before the new sup
ply of coal was taken on the Texas, there
were about 400 tons of that fuel on the
vessel.
Recurring to the Brooklyn, he said he
had seen that vessel immediately after
it had executed the loop, when it was on
the port bow of the Texas, about SCO feet
distant. The Texas was not then moving
at her full speed because the Oregon was
passing her. If the Texas at that time
backed or stopped he was not aware of
the circumstance.
Captain Harber was then asked con
cerning the position of the Brooklyn rela
tive to the Texas and to the other ships
when he first saw her after the turn.
"The Brooklyn," he replied, "was on the
port bow of the Texas, standing at an
angle, I should say, approximately one
half point to the southward of the head
ing of the Texas. At that time the Ore
gon was just forging past on the star
board side, inshore. The Iowa was still
further Inshore, and pointing up so that
her bow overlapped our bow. At one time
I know that we fired across the stern of
the Iowa."
"Where were the 'Spanish vessels with
reference to the heading- of the Texas?"
"The head of the line was then on our
starboard bow, I should say, approxi
mately four points on the bow."
At this point the court adjourned as a
body at 4 o'clock until 11 o'clock tomor

comprises all the noted horticulturists and
fruit savants, both professional and prac
tical, actual growers of the United States
and Canada. Sentiment or sectional fav
oritism has no place In the deliberations
and nothing but absolutely fruit of merit
is taken Into consideration by the com
mittee on awards; of which Dr. F. M.
Hexamer, the veteran editor of the Amer
ican Agriculturist, Is and has been chair
man for many years, a guarantee In Itself
that all favoritism Is eliminated from
their deliberations. Decisions are based
strictly on merits, which, perhaps, Is
the principal reason, so high a value is
placed on the Wilder medal.
Origin of the Wilder Medal.
The Pomological Society of America,
which Includes the British Provinces, was
founded some 70 years ago. Marshal P.
Wilder, the veteran enthusiast in horti
culture, was its first president, and for
many years filled that Important posi
tion. It Included among Its members, then
as now, all the noted fruitgrowers. In
order to stimulate the production of new
varieties as well as perfect fruits, the so
ciety gave money prizes, which, however,
for obvious reasons, did not prove satis
factory, and they decided on medals of
award instead, and in honor of their
president and promoter the name "Wilder
medal" was given It When Mr. Wilder
died he left a fund of 51000, the Interest of
which was to be devoted to silver and
bronze medals for new fruits; most per
fect fruits; largest collection of fruits of
any given pomological variety, etc., and to
be awarded only by its own members for
pure merit, which has been rellgously car
ried out ever since.
Oregon Contributors.
We entered our fruit3 In the name of
the State of Oregon, rather than as In
dividuals, as the most perfect fruit, so
all could share In the honor and glory
thus bestowed; but It Is In order to give
the names of those who were kind enough
to contribute to our exhibit to make the
winning of so h!gh a prize possible. We
exhibited 250 plates of fresh fruits of this
year's growing, which were contributed
by:
E. L. Smith, Hood River Baldwin, Splt
zenberg, Wealthy, Kay. Wlfi.te Winter,
Pearmaln and Gravenstein apples.
William Anderson, Milton 20-ounce Pip
pin apples.

Lewis Bros., Russellville; T. V. Sluman,
Mount Tabor Pacific prunes.
There are no doubt others who will send
us fruits In due season, equally meritori
ous, as well as those who have sent frult3
earlier in the season, and all can feel a
pride and have a full share In the winning
of the highest award for excellent and
perfect specimens of their several fruits.
The Immense size and high color of our
apples, pears, plums and prunes was a
revelation not only to the committee of
awards and other members of the Amer
ican Pomological Society, but also to the
thousands of visitors, who are so pro
fuse in words of admiration.
The contributors of strawberries, cher
ries, peach plums, apricots, sugar prunes,
Bradshaw plums, peaches and other ear
lier fruits are: G. J. Gessllng, Hood
River; Mrs. Captain Angersteln, Port

What It Means.
The Oregon delegation here as well as
the visitors from our glorious state are
naturally highly elated and proud of the
honor conferred, and their rejoicing Is
pardonable when we consider that nearly
all other state exhibits are so very much
larger than ours, many having 1000 plates
to our 230 plates, but blood will tell and
It was "quality" and not quantity that
won the Wilder medal.
The winning of this medal means much
for Oregon; It Is worth more to our state
than all the medals and diplomas awarded
to us at all the expositions, past, pres
ent and to come, as it Is an honor no
exposition, however large, can. confer. The
praises of the Oregon fruit exhibit will
be sung and published, not alone In Amer
ica and Canada, but in England, France
and Germany, and will do a missionary
work, at one stroke that years of adver
tising could not accomplish.
It is to be hoped that the winning of
this medal will act as a stimulant to our
fruitgrowers to produce only the very best
of- fruit, and contribute freely, not only
to any further exhibit that may be made
at other exhibitions, but continue their
liberal support for the present.

Our Longfellow.
PORTLAND, Sept. 20. (To the" Editor.)
As public attention Is directed toward
Longfellow as a poet, may I add a word
to what The Oregonlan has so discrim
inatingly expressed In an editorial ar
ticle. Surely, we discover purity and force
of expression In the stanzas of Longfel-
low's poems, and elegance does not eclipse
the strength of the messages the poet
speaks to us all. As Longfellow made
no noise In the doing of his work, we
may be inclined to underestimate his ex
cellence as a verse-maker. He was the
quiet lake on the mountain side, and not
the splashing little rivulet on an errand
of much ado. Meditative, thoughtful and
quiet, .he will survive the ravages of
time. He was a mosaic poel, and, while
In Inspiration and power he can not be
classed with some other poets whose
names come- readily to us, he is not far
behind Burns and even Tennyson. Be
cause of heart power he Is popular. In
Bryant's songs rise the grand hills of
New England, but Longfellow's strains.

In area It Is 102S square miles, or 636.640
acres, being but 221 square miles less than
the area of the State of ithode Island.
The greater portion of the province is
alluvial, and extremely fertile. The Pa

outlet into Manila Bay of the large inland
lake known as Laguna, de Bay. This
stream, but IS miles In length, varies In
width from 330 tj upwards of 6000 feet,
and has a depth of T1 to 21 feet, which
makes It an Important thoroughfare for
the extensive trade which Is carried on
between Manila and the Interior.
The nrovlnce has 34 towns and SS vil
lages, the towns ranging in population
from 2100 to 20,000. The total population
Is 246,610, nearly all of them are Taga
logs. In the mountain chain of San Ma
teo, a few Negritos are found. The lan
guage of the province is Tagalog, but
more Spanish Is spoken than in any of
the otner provinces. The capital, Pastg,
is a Vfelegraph and military station, about
a mile off the river of that name. It Is
well built, and has about 20.000 Inhab
