Takes Up the Question of How ana When We Shall Withdraw. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. The Cabinet was in session three hours today, and nearly all of the time was consumed in the dlrcusslon of Cuban matters. The Secretary of War has received a cable gram from General Wood, Informing him that an election has teen held in Cuba under the constitution, a.nd that certain officials have been elected to ofilce. This brought up the question of how and when this Government should retire from. Cuba, May 1 has been tentatively fixed upon for the inauguration of the new officials. This, however, is 'subject to change. After the new government has been inaugurated this Government will negotiate with the Cuban Government treaties of various kinds, which will provide for the time when the American troops are to be withdrawn from the Island and the government turned over to the Cub&at. AT LEAST FOURTEEN DEAD Avalanches Occur on Smug gler Mountain THREE MILES FROM TELLUR1DE Boarding:, Bnnlc and Tramhouses of the Libert j- Bell "Mine Curried Away Rwfcner Caught In Second Slide. Y A series of snowslides on Smuggler Mountain, near Tellurlde, Colo., caused the death ot at Jeret 14 miners em ployed at the Liberty Bell mine. The flirt avalanche came without warning, carrying away the boarding, bunk and tramhouses. "While rescuers were dig ging out the Imprisoned miners an other rilde came down, resulting' In more deaths. Many miners are missing, and the number of deed may reach 20 or 3a TELLURIDE, Colo.. Feb. 2S. Fourteen dead, is many more Injured and a score or more missing, is the result, so far as known, of a erles of snowslldes which occurred today In the immediate vicinity of the Liberty Bell mine, on Smuggler Mountain, three and a half miles north of Tellurlde. The roads between here and the Liberty Bell are almost Impassa ble and details of the accident are hard to obtain. It, seems that no less than four dlrtinct slides occurred, each one claiming two or more victims. Several bodies have been recovered, but quite a number of the known dead are still bur ied under the tons of snow, rock and timber by which they were carried down. The Liat of Victims.

Came Withont Warning. The first slide occurred at 7:30 o'clock thU morning and carried away the board ing and bunkhousca and the tramhouse of the mine. About 250 men are regularly employed in the mines and mills of the Liberty Bell mine, but a large number of men from the night shifts were in Tel lurlde yesterday and were prevented from returning to the mine by the terrible storm which was raging. The day shift had just gone to work, leaving compara tively few underground workers at the bunkhouse. The plide cime without warning. The three large buildings were carried down the steep mountain side a distance of about 2000 feet and literally ground to splinters, not a hoard being left Intact. The snow and debris piled in the bottom of the canyon 25 feet dey. Those who escaped the slide at once be gan the work of rescuing their less for tunate companions. A dozen or more were taken out alive, some of them bad ly Injured, however. The most seriously hurt arc: Jo cob Golden, dishwasher, arm cut off and serious Internal Injuries; James Gonlon, waiter, ribs broken and arm badly cut: John Isaacson, miner, skull fractured: Henri Pauer, miner, leg broken and serious Internal injuries. Word was sent tcr Tellurlde, and a num ber of citizens left for the scene of the disaster to aid in the rescue of the slide victims. Shortly after noon, while the work of digging out bodies -was going on, the sec ond slide came down, almost in the track of the first. The mountain side Is very steep and the descent ot the snow mass was so swift that 24 of the rescuers were caught, two being killed. They wer.e Harry A. Chase and L. D. Stanley, and their bodiea have not been recovered. The others were more or less Injured, but none are fatally hurt. At 3:30 o'clock. Superintendent Chase, of the Liberty Bell mine, ordered the work of rescue suspended, declaring that it was useless to endanger life further while slides were running. Several par ties started at once for Tellurlde. Two of these parties were overtaken by slides. In one, Gus von Flntel, John R. Powell and Paul Dalprese were killed, and in the other George Rohwer and W. S. Gregory lost their lives. None of these bodies had been recovered at last accounts. Large Nnmber Are Missing. A large number of men are missing and it is thought probable that the death list will be swelled to 20 arid possibly 30, when all the bodies are taken from the snow mass. Among those killed, Raymond Bishop, Wade Crowe and Harry A. Chase were last year's graduates frorrf the State School of Mines, at Golden, Colo. They hud taken positions with the Liberty Bell to acquaint themselves with practical mining. The' belong to good families in Ienver and Pueblc. Several other slides are reported jn this vicinity. From the condition of the snow, more slldos are expected. Several F'nns, who were not caught in the slide, i cached the city at noon, but were too txclied and frightened to talk. The foreigners are superstitious and be lieve that accidents like Ihls morning are preordained and come as - punishment.

Republicans who wear no collar met last night to devise ways and means for putting on end to "Bosslsm and cor rupt machine rule. Organization was effected, and plans were formulated to secure full registration of all voters for participation in primary and election. The prenent situation was thoroughly canvassed, and a firm determination evinced to have a Republican County Convention named by the people, not by backroom wirepullers. i- At an enthusiastic meeting of many rep resentative Republican voters In the A. O. U. W. HpII last night plans were discussed for getting out the fullest possible regis tration previous to the primary election, March 15. Judge C. H. Carey, who wag seleoted to act as chairman of the meet ing, was authorized to appoint a sommlt tee of threa in each precinct to urge all voters to register In time to vote at the primary. He was also directed to appoint a committee of Ave to have general super vision over registration soliciting, the committee to haye power to devise and put Into operation any plans they deem advisable to get voters to the Court house. The body of the hall was entireiy filled, an a number stood in. the rear while the speeches were being made. Machine cor ruption and boselsm were denounced In icloquent, vigorous language. ,A strong demand was made that the coming county convention be composed of delegates elect ed by the people, not named by the Bo;s. The fact was prominently brought out and persistently Impressed upon the voters that under the primary law which will be effective a$ the coming election an honest ytttt - SLOW WORK OP REGISTRATION If the citizens of Portland , want to take part In the forthcoming primaries, why do they not go to the Courthouse and register in larger num bers? The capacity of the . registration office Is by no means fully tested, and from the present outlook will not be. At the present rate not many more than 15,000 voters will be registered at. the time of the primaries, two weeks from today. What do the re maining 7000 or 8000 propose to do? Allow the Simon ma chine to retain its grip and keep the "graft" indefinitely? IT'S HIGH TIME FOR YOU TO THINK OF YOUR DUTY : TO THE PUBLIC. "i srrf"1 I count will be possible. The Boss cannot 1' control as he has done in the past, if the Independent voters will register. The vot ers were warned that unless the citizens opposed to Boss rule take advantage of the new law, it will be repealed by the minion of h" Boss jt the- next fpsslon ot tho Legislature A t-hiha:aeT!&s&4ive!-tion of tha machine was laid base to the voters; there was sincere and, enthusiastic applause; Approval "cam 6 from all parts of- the hall. Previous to tho' meeting- it was quietly whispered that the disreputa ble following of the Boss would be there and attempt to turn the protests of sub stantial citizens Into confusion and tur moil. But the interference did not de velop. W. T. Hume, a lawyer, formerly of Portland, showed up from parts un known, and rled to Inject personal bitter ness into a discussion, but Judge Carey refused to permit It, and the audience sustained the chairman. No Ward Heelers There. The professional politician was not there In numbers. The ward heelers who have registered the hobos and others of the powers that prey were not there. Instead it was a meeting1 of business and profes sional men, leaders prominently Identified with union labor, and joung men who are determined to cast their votes against corruption and extravagance and the per petuation of the machine. It was a pro test against the Boas, and coming as It did from men whose Interest rises from a desire to purge the city of machine rule, It carried splendid weight.. P. L. Willis opened the meeting and nominated Judge C. H. Carey for chairman. William Banks was named for secretary, and both were elected without dissent. In accepting the honor Judge Carey said: "Fellow-Republicans: I have to con gratulate you tonight upon the character of this meeting. It has been a somewhat discouraging fight all these years against adverse conditions. I believe that the splendid representation ef Portland's best citizens here tonight marks the dawning of a better day for the Republican party in Oregon. Two years ago the delegates to the county convention had purely per functory duties to perform. They were sent there to do the will of a Boss. We have now an honest primary law. under which, with ordinary prudence, the ma jority of the Republican voters can control the county convention name the ticket and formulate the policies of the party. In sending out Invitations to attend this meeting, we represent no faction and no candidate. We Invited to be present here all who think, as we do, that the time has come to overthrow Boss rule in this city. If any have been overlooked, I can assure you It was not from Intentional Invidious discrimination; effort was made to reach all Republicans. 'Time Has Come for a Clean Ticket." "I trust the day has dawned when Re publicans can name their own delegates. Instead of having them selected by a Boss. Have you ever known more flagrantly corrupt administration of city affairs than at the present time? Have you ever known more extravagant administration of. county affairs than durlng the past two years? I believe the time has come for the Republicans to put up a clean ticket and elect it. However, the battle Is Just begun. Republicans must register and vote at the primary election to make the overthrow of the Boss assured. I re gret that the worklngmen have not yet registered in large numbers. Business men and representative citizens generally have not fully awakened to the possibili ties of 'electing clean, honest officials If they will register and vote. We want a plan for getting out the votera and hav ing them registered. Unless the better class of citizens register and vote at the primaries the Boss will again direct and control the county convention. If you do not down the Boss, the primary law will be repealed at the next session of the Legislature." Judge Carey announced that the meet ing was open, and that he desired particu larly to hear from representatives of dif ferent precincts on the progress of regis tration. H. H. Newhall was the first speaker.i and said that la the .Ninth Ward voters have been solicited to go to the Court house and" register. The best plan 1 know of," said Mr. Newhall, "Is for every one, to ask every one else he meets If he (Concluded on Page 8.) TWO DAYS' HARD FIGHTING Kitchener's Big Success in Orange River Colon. ANNIVERSARY OF MAJUBA DAY JSt JL Comlilncd Movement Forced the Dntcli Agnlnnt a Blockhouse Line Through Which They Coald Not Break. In a combined movement planned by Kitchener in the eastern part of the Orange Bler Colony the Boer force was driven against a blockhouse line, and lost GOG men killed and captured. Two thousand horses and 28,000 cattle fell Into British hands, together with other supplies. Among- the prisoners were General Dewet's Bon, two com mandants and several coronet?. ii o A LONDON, Feb. ,2S. Following tho pre cedent of Lord Roberts, who announced General Cronje's surrender at Paarde burg on the anniversary of the battle of Majuba Hill (February 27. 1S31), Lord Kitchener apparently selected the same anniversary to achieve a big success by a combined movement, lasting two days, against the 'Boer forces within the Har rlsmlth and Van Reenan line of block houses. The Boer losses aggregate 600 men killed or captured, and 2000 horses and 28,000 head of cattle fell into the hands of the British troops. This news was so welcome to the Brit ish that it was read out in the House of Commons by tho War Secretary, Mr. Brodrlck, from a dispatch of Lord Kitch ener as follows: "Harrismith, Feb. 2S. Yesterday the combined operations of the columns terminated tn driving the Boera against Jfie'"KaJTismlth and" V atrv i&reniS bWUt house line. The River Wllge wos-held by the Leicester regiment arid Elliott's mounted Infantry from Harrismith, while the columns formed on the Frankfort and Botha's Pass blockhouse line and ad vanced south, holding the country be tween the Wllge and tho Natal frontier. "On the first night, a severe attempt to break through was made at a point be tween Remington's and Byng's columns, and the New Zealandcrs behaved with great gallantry. The fighting was at close quarters and the Boers drove a large herd of catle In front of them, as usual. Manle Botha, tho Boer leader, was killed and 35 dead Boers were found on the ground. Over 100 horses were killed and 6000 bead of cattle were left on our hands. Other small atempts to break out were made and in two cases succeded. On the last day. 450 Boers with rifles and horses were captured. "All the columns have not yet reported, as the operations have been wide, but over 600 Boers have been killed or are prisoners In our hands, also 2000 horses, 2S.O0O head of cattle, 200 wagons, 60,000 sheep, 600 rifles and 50.000 rounds of am munition. The prisoners Include General Dewet's son and his secretary. Com mandants Meyer and Truther, and several field cornets. These satisfactory results are very aproprlate on the anniversary of Majaba. In response to an inquiry made by the government as to the fate of an escort of convoy of empty wagons, which, ac cording to a dispatch from Lord Kitch ener made public February 26, was at tacked and captured by the Boers south west of Klerksdorp. Transvaal Colony, February 24, Lord Kitchener has cabled the following message: "A report has just been received that 16 officers and 451 men were taken prison ers. Of these, one officer and 105 men have been released. Colonel Anderson, ot the Imperial Yeomanry, who commanded, Is still a prisoner. Lajoc Enderby, who commanded the infantry, was wounded. Hence the delay In obtaining definite In formation." j The War Secretary, Mr. Brodrlck, re plying to a question In the House of Com mons today, said no details, with the exception of the list of casualties, had been received of the capture of the con voy. No men had been reported killed, but about 100 were wounded. The censorship in South Africa has been excessively strict for some time past, and dispatches have consequently suffered serious delay. In some cases they have been held up for one or two days at both Cape Town and Pretoria. A dis-patch received tonight from Har rismith shows that General Dewet and Mr. fc'teyn were within the net described by Lord Kitchener, but escaped before the line was completed. The dispatch also siys that Colonel Rawlins scored the biggest success of the drive. He suc ceeded In completely surrounding a laag er of 4C0 Boers and gave them one hour in which to decide whether they would sufendtr or fight. The Boers, finding escape impojs'ble, surrendered at discre tion and not a shot was fired. Indiana Insurance law. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. U. The applica tion of a strict construction of the In diana statute regarding securities Is caus ing many wlthurawals of Insurance com panies from the state. The United Fire men's, of Philadelphia, and the County of Philadelphia have given notice thit they will not renew their licenses, since It would necessitate a change in some of their securities. Five companies haa withdrawn from the"state this year, Two other companies may withdraw, having until March 15 to decide. fey-H 5 "71 r.3 O
