WHITMAN WON BY 6 TO
OREGON MTARSITT BLEVEJT BEATEN
AT WALLA WALLA.
First Half Wa a Scoreless Contest
Captain of the Washington
Team Injured.
WALLA WALLA., Nov. 12. On a fast
field and is lth 5000 persona witnessing the
exhlbiUon, Whitman College today de
reaied the University of Oregon by a score
of 6 to 0. .Nothing but the fact that a
Whitman runner collided with the goal
post just as the whistle of the referee
blew time at the conclusion of the con
test prevented the score being 11 to 0, as
the ball was Just crossing the goal line
when this accident prevented tne score.
Captain Hauerbach, of the Whitman
team, suffered an injury to his knee the
cap thereof being wrenched and will be
out of the game for the remainder of the
season. Oregon's superior kicking tactics
prevented the score running higher.
There was no touchdown In the first
half of the fame, the scrimmage being
almost wholly In Oregon territory. Ten
minutes before time in the last half An
keny crossed the goal line with the ball
and Lasater kicked the goal. The Oregon
men were visibly distressed during the
last half of the game, and Whitman
gained whenever it got the balL
It was a warm, sunny day. Whitman
kicked off In the first half. It was first
Oregon and then Whitman for a few feet
or yards. The first half ended without
either side scoring. In the second half
Whitman forced the playing and after
losing Captain Arthur Hauerbach, who
was injured, as heretofore noted, made a
25-yard run and a touchdown, amid great
cheering. The score was completed by a
kick, which sent the ball over the goal
and the high fence.
The Webfooters made a plucky attempt
to reach their goal, but the Missionaries
were too heavy, and would have made
another touchdown had not the player
plumped Into a goal post instead of be
tween them. Time was called before
either side had lined up for the finish.
Tho University of Oregon team was
given a royal reception at Billings' Hall
this evening by the victorious followers
of Marcus
High School v. Medical School.
The football teams of the High School
and Medical School will play -this after
noon on the Bishop Scott Academy field.
Play will be called at 3:30 o'clock, and
no admission will be charged.
TAPERING OFF.
Hcavy-Weigrhts Getting in Trim for
Friday Night's Fight.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12. James J.
Jeffries did little or no gymnasium work
today In anticipation of his fight with
Gus Ruhlin Friday night, but confined his
exertions to a brief walk about Lake Mer
rltt, at Oakland, where he is In training,
and a long flounder in the baths of the
Reliance Club. In contrast to this, the
Akron Giant, who Is at Blaken's Six-Mile
House, enjoyed a run on the beach and
through Golden Gate Park this afternoon,
and afterward toyed with the punching
bag for a brief space, stating subsequent
ly that he did not consider this exertion
any too great in" the task of properly
tapering off.
Betting on the big fight slackened up
considerably today, for the reason that
there is little or no Jeffries money in
sight Ruhlin has been a short-ender at
2 to 1 for a day, and the Jeffries people
claim that the odds will come back be
fore the fight comes off so that they may
get a better chance for their money.
Referee Harry Corbett -visited the man
agers of both men today, and had an
other conversation about the conduct of
the fighters in the ring; If they do not
break at the word, Corbett promises all
sorts of trouble, and both hoxers are
being admonished today to follow the dic
tates of the referee to the letter. ' To
morrow there will be little or nothing
done In either camp. Spider Welsh and
Joe Fields, both local men. were matched
today for one of the preliminaries, and
Mike Kelly and Billy Condon will be pre
sented for another bout. Each mill Is to
go eight rounds.

spine fractured and an arm broken. She
died at the hospital. Others Injured were

ond floor, sustained a loss of about $40,000. '.

SAYS WAR-WILL SOON END
OSPDTA, THE BANISHED COLOMBIAN,
ARRIVES AT NEW YORK.
The Insurgents He Declares, Are
Neither Numerous Nor Well Or
ganized Panama Is Safe.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. General Pedro
Nel Osplna, Colombia's ex-Minister or
War, Is here as an exile, having arrived
today on the steamship Alene. Two other
Colombian leaders were banished at the
same time, Generals Saavedra and Hol
guln. General Saavedra debarked at Port
Limon, Costa Rico, when the Alene called
there on her northward Journey.
General Osplna, as Colombia's War Min
ister, Is said to have had the oonfidenco
of the people and to have used his best
efforts to end the revolt now disturbing
the country. He is also credited with a
plan to restore President San Clemente
and the legitimate government to power,
but Vice-President Marroquln interfered,
flung 03pina Into prison and put in his
place Dr. Jose Vicente Concha.
General Osplna was asked about recent
cablegrams from Panama, In which Gen
eral Alban was quoted as saying that
General Osplna had done his country a
great wrong In having conferred with
the Liberals, and in so doing had practi
cally recognized them as belligerents.
This, the ex-Mlnlster vehemently denied.
Speaking of political affairs In the dis
turbed republics, General Osplna gave It
as his belief that the war in Colombia
will soon be at an end. The Insurgent,
he said, are neither numerous nor well
organized, their chief forces being con
centrated In the neighborhood 'of Pana
ma. All the rest he described as roving
bands of bandits, making their homes In
mountain fastnesses, from which they
issue to commit depredations. He thinks
that the insurgent force about Panama
does not exceed 500 men.
OFFER, OF MEDIATION ACCEPTED.
Colombia Also Anxious to End the
War.
NUW YORK, Nov. 12. A dispatch to
the Herald from Bogota, Colombia, says:
The Colombian Government has acceptea
the proffered mediation of Chile to set
tle the troubles between Colombia and
Venezuela. In behalf of his Govern
ment, Senor Herboso, the Chilean Minis,
ter in Bogota, made the offer. Minister
Herboso cabled to President Castro the
same effer.
Acting President Maroquin has replied
to the resolution of the Pan-American
Congress, which appealed to Colombia to
have a peaceful solution of her difficul
ties with President Castro's Government.
Dr. Maroquin said in reply that Colom.
bla desires to have an amicable settle
ment with Venezuela. The Colombian
Government prefers to be on cordial
terms with Venezuela and Its grievances
are entirely against President Castro's
Government.
The Colombian Minister of Foreign Af
fairs, Senor Mendez, said in an inter
view that, the Ecuadorean Government
had officially announced that it would
preserve neutrality in reference to the
international conflict in Colombia and
would also adopt the same attitude in
case of Colombia becoming involved in
an international war.

ama has not been taken by the rebels.

gerated," he said. "The Iowa was at

the foreign interests. The rebels have
been careful and have not molested
American property."
Paper Money Depreciated.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. Arrivals from
the interior of Colombia bring the news
that the exenange of 'paper money has
advanced to the highest point yet reached,
says the Colon, Colombia, correspondent
of the Herald. A United States dollar
is actually worth 45 dollars in national
currency in Bogota and 48 dollars In de
partment money. Merchants of Barran
qullla believe that the value of the pa
per money will further depreciate and are
holding as Httle as possible. They are
converting all the paper money they get
Into coffee and other merchandise. t
