PLENTY OF MONEY
AND GREAT CROPS
Prosperity Sums Up Business
Conditions, Particularly
on the Coast.
RECORD CROP OF WHEAT
Banks in Pacific Cities Loaded With
Money and Lending In Kast.
Abundant Funds to Han
dle the Crops.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21. (Special.) In its an
riual report. Just published, by the Com
mercial National Bank, and made up from
letters received from leading bankers In
practically all cities in the I'nlted States,
financial and general business conditions
throughout the country are shown to bo
excellent. The figures on the crops, as
shown in this report, are generally higher
than those In the Government report Is
sued August 10. The report on the finan
cial outlook is decidedly encouraging.
I'lenty of Cash for Crops.
"With the exception of some of the
entailer cities In the Middle West," says
the report, "banks throughout the coun
try report a strong, active and healthy
demand for money at firm rates. While
there is no prospect of recession in Inter
est rates, money is and probably will con
tinue to be abundant for legitimate busi
ness needs. The expected stringency at
crop-moving time has been largely dis
counted in the West by the fact that the
banks generally have husbanded their re
sources, maintained strong reserves and
are entering the Fall not only with large
cash resources but with heavy maturities
of purchased paper. 'i,is gives them an
element of strength that they have not
heretofore possessed and will provide them
abundant means to meet the crop de
mands with practically no borrowing and
with but slight reductions In their East
ern and Chicago balances.
Pacific Coast Most Prosperous.
"Banks in Pacific Coast cities outside
of San Francisco report deposits largely
increased, prosperity unprecedented and
all industries flourishing. Banks in that
section are large lenders in the East.
In San Francisco there is great activity
and the volume of business is satisfac
tory. Banks are full of money and de
posits are larger than at the time of
the fire.
"Banks In all Southern reserve cities
report the same general conditions that
prevail elsewhere, except that they are
well loaned up, reserves are diminishing
end In many cases banks will be obliged
"to borrow largely for a short time. Strict
enforcement of the new provision of the
National bank act, governing the limita
tion of loans, will seriously handicap
small southern banks in handling cotton
accounts, and may retard the cotton
movement. Thus far no satisfactory so
lution of the problem has been suggest
ed, and some banks whose business is
largely in that line may be compelled to
abandon National charters."
Wheat Crop Largest In History.
Concerning the crops the report says in
part:
"The wheat crop of 1906 will be among
the largest and best ever produced. The
crop Is now practically out of danger.
The 15 wheatgrowlng states covered by
this report produced last year 647,522,349
bushels. They should produce this year
6"7. 206. 000, and the total wheat crop of the
United States should approximate 69,O0O,
000 bushels.
"The yield of soft Winter wheat is
large, quality the finest and movement
free. Inasmuch as this movement has be
gun early and all grains are now nearly
or quite on an export basis, with the
tendency of prices downward, a large ex
port business may be expected.
"In what may be termed the northern
lone of the corn belt, embracing the
northern part of Indiana and Illinois, all
of Iowa and Nebraska, Northern Missouri
and portions of Kansas, the corn crop is
large and unusually promising, except in
Southern Iowa, where the condition is
spotted and rain needed. In the south
ern zone of the same belt, embracing"
Southern and Central Indiana and Illi
nois, parts of Missouri and Kansas, the
crop has been affected by dry weather
and is backward. The prospect Is quite
discouraging unless rain comes shortly.
We estimate the total corn crop at
2,560,000,000 bushels."
Oats, Barley and. Rye.
The report says' that the oats crop will
be fair to good and about 1 per cent less
than last year. The barley yield is esti
mated at 143.400,000 bushels. The average
condition of rye is about 3 per cent better
than In 19C6.
The report deals also with the railroad
business, the iron and steel industry and
the packing Industry, and shows an ex
cellent condition In all of them.
GLORY FOR OREGON TROOPS
(Continued From Page 1.)
lng did much damage to the hapless
troopers, who were betrayed by the dust
from under their mounts.
The position of the artillery having thus
been indicated, it was rushed back to
take up a new position, in anticipation
that the enemy would attempt to strike
on either flank. A complete redistribu
tion of troops was hurriedly made to re
sist a flank attack, as well as a direct
rear attack. But no attack materialized
from this source.
The regulars were preparing for a grand
coup that would have brought great hon
ors upon them and everlasting discredit
on the fighting ability of any one con
nected with the command of the Second
Brigade. This coup was a bold one and
consisted of nothing less than an attempt
to cut the Second Brigade off entirely
from its main column.
Sharp Diversion on Left Wing.
In order to cover up their real designs
In this regard, a squadron of me enemy's
ravalry dismounted and engaged the left
wing in a sharp skirmish, evidently ex
pecting that troops would be concentrated
In that direction, under the belief that it
was the point of attack. While this feint
was being made on the left, the remain
der of the Blue cavalry and all the at
tacking artillery was hurrying far to the
west of the right flank, intending to slip
In ahead of the rear guard and cut it off.
The wooded condition of the country to
the west afforded an excellent screen for
this maneuver.
Suspecting that the en had some
dire scheme in contemplation, the Second
Brigade prepared to meet it. The Oregon
Infantry was deployed across the rear
and left, with the Fourteenth Infantry
and separate battalion on either tiank.
The artillery was rushed ahead to get in
position to protect a broad plain, over
which the retreating army must pass be
fore entering a dense forest.
Artillery Saves the Day.
Prompt recognition of the strategic
advantage of this position was the
thing that saved the day half an hour
later for Colonel Gantenbein's brigade.
The enemy had selected this very point
at which to win its great victory. Its
artillery was stealthily worked-in and
screened in the woods overlooking; this
plain and two squadrons of cavalry
were dismounted and employed as an
artillery support in all this seemingly
unknown to the Second Brigade.
. Satisfied with their deadly trap, the
attacking army lay in wait. As soon
as Colonel Gantenbein's command
started across the broad plain in front
it was to be put off the earth.
' A few minutes later and the surprise
of the day, in fact of the year, in mili
tary circles, occurred. The screened
artillery, waiting until the separate
Oregon battalion and a battalion of
the Fourteenth Infantry, was within
deadly range, suddenly opened fire. The
advancing infantrymen were the most
surprised men on earth when they sud
denly beheld the enemy's artillery
belch forth great clouds of dense blue
smoke from the woods immediately in
front of them. For a moment it looked
as if the fight were at an end, as if
the Second Brigade were cut oft.
Masked Guns Open Fire.
Then the unexpected ha-ppened. Right
on the flank of the enemy's artillery
and not 400 yards away a rapid artil
lery fire broke forth from a thick
clump of trees. Trte fire was directly
on tne flank of the enemy's artillery
and aimed at it.
Before the enemy could switch its
guns and reply. 15 shots had been
driven along its flanks. The umpires
immediately ruled the Blue Ninth Bat
tery out of action. It had fallen into
the trap it had lain for the enemy.
This unexpected counter demoralized
the attacking force and turned the
tide of battle. Following their ad
vantage, the Second Brigade made an
Infantry advance upon the cavalrymen
deployed in the woods. There was
nothing for them to do but take to
their mounts and get away! and with
their artillery out of commission there
was little use of returning.
Vmplres Order a Recall.
The time limit having nearly expired
by now, the umpires ordered recall
sounded, having concluded that the
First Brigade could not .possibly ac
complish anything within the pre
scribed time. After discussion by the
various umpfres, the return to camp
was made. The staff of umpires who
passed upon today's action was made
up of the following officers of the regu
lar service:
Lieutenant-Colonel Charles A. Booth,
Seventh Infantry; Major Edward T.
Brown, Artillery Corps; Major Charles
A. Bennett, Artillery Corps; Captain
William P. Burnham, Ninth Infantry;
Captain Edward M. Lewis. Twentieth

Breaking Cp the Camp.
Tonight the Oregon men are busy
with preparations for breaking camp.
At"7 o'clock in the morning tents will
be struck and packed and the return
trip taken up. The troops will go to
Portland in three sections, leaving at
8:30, 11:30 and 12:30 A. M.
The Eugene, Albany, Salem, Baker
City, The Dalles, La Grande, Ashland
and Roseburg companies will occupy
the first and second sections, while the
Portland commands will come last. All
should be in Portland before dark.
CALLED HUMAN VULTURE
Judge's Denunciation Astonishes
Manhattan's Corruptor of Young.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21. (Special.)-Henry
Alford Short. 47 years old, a broker, of
25S West Fifty-fifth street, and a club
man, pleaded guilty today before Judge
Rosalsky to two indictments charging him
with criminal assault and abduction, and
was sentenced to not less than four years
and 11 months, nor more than five years'
hard labor in Sing Sing prison. Short,
with a woman named Barbara Living
ston, was arrested early in July, at o3
Sixth avenue, by agents of the Children's
Society. In sentencing Short, Judge Ro
salsky said:
"You have engaged in practicing the

pandering to the lowest vices of other
Th,i,h vnn are a man of refine
ment and education in publio life, in pri

the most disgraceful manner."
Short seemed greatly surprised, not at
the severity of the sentence but at the
tones in which Judge Rosalsky addressed
his remarks.

REVOLT HELD DOWN
Palma Checks Spread of the
Cuban Insurrection.
FEAR ATTACKS ON TOWNS
Movement Is Strongest In Pinar del
Rio, but Spreads to Havana and
Santa Clara Two Skir
mishes Jfear Havana.
HAVANA, Aug. 21. Indications to
night are that the revolution in Western
Cuba has practically reached its maxi
mum. The government and people gener
ally believe the movement has received
about all the accessions it will be likely
to gain. The promptness of the govern
ment in arresting the suspected leaders
and plotters in Havana and elsewhere
and in sending reinforcements to the dis
turbed districts has had an excellent ef
fect in strengthening public confidence
and overawing sympathizers with the
movement.
Pinar del Rio Expects Attack.
On the other hand, notwithstanding the
quietude in the Pinar del Rio region
throughout the day, peaceable inhabitants
of the cities of Pinar del Rio, Consola
cion del Sur, San Juan del Martinez and
other western towns are in hourly appre
hension of the attack and occupation of
those places. The fact that probably 1000
insurgents are tending to concentrate in
the Province of Pinar del Rio upon towns
inadequately guarded by small detach
ments of rural guards, mostly Inexperi
enced in warfare, makes the situation
grave; but as the insurgents have not as
sumed any strongly offensive attitude or
interfered with trains carrying troops,
horses and supplies, it Is Inferred that
they are not prepared or lack the nerve
to try for control of the territory.
An official of the Western Railroad in
formed the Associated Press tonight that
no trouble had been encountered any
where along the line, .which is the main
artery of the Province of Pinar del Rio"
There have been many rumors today of
fights at various points in the Province of
Pinar del Rio, but they have not been
confirmed by government or press dis
patches. However, night attacks on the
City of Pinar del Rio and other towns
continue to be regarded as a probability.
The government wires are working freely.
Pinar del Rio, Consolacion del Sur and
San Juan del Martinez were reinforced
today by 200 troops. The loyal citizens
are well equipped to repel Invasion.
Skirmishes Sear Havana.
There was some fighting today in Ha
vana Province, and more is hourly ex
pected. A detachment of rural guards
encountered a new party of insurgents
near the town of Gulnes, 20 miles from
Havana, and charged It, taking three
prisoners, including the leader of the
band, and capturing seven horses.
A portion of Bandera's band of insur
gents in Havana Province was encoun
tered by rural guards. Cme Insurgent was
killed and the others scattered, and are
being pursued.
The old Havana arsenal is the scene of
enlistment of a new quota of rural guards.
This work is in charge of veterans ap
pointed for the purpose.
O'Farrlll Keeps Office.
After consultation with the members of
the Cabinet, President Palma rescinded
his order of the assignment of General
Montevideo Is director of military opera
tions against the Insurgents, on the
ground that it would be Incompatible with
his position as Secretary of Public Works.
It is believed the unwillingness of Secre
tary of State and Justice O'Farrlll to re
linquish or divide the charge of interior
affairs contributed to this. All concerned
in the matter are noncommittal.
The absence from the capital of Vice
President Mendez Capatoe. who hitherto
has been the right-hand adviser of Presi
dent Palma, and who is at his Summer
home at Cardenas, is exciting some com
ment. In order to understand the moves of
the insurgents, it should be remembered
that political partisanship in Cuba is rad
ical and fierce, and with the opposition
takes the form of violent condemnation
of the dominant party. This is particu
larly true of the Province of Pinar del
Rio. The alleged repression of 1S05 still
rankles with the more radical members of
the Liberal party. The revolutionary feel
ing also is quickly revived in the more
remote districts, fanned by tales of Presi
dent Palma's alleged unfairness. This
being the idle season In bom the sugar
and tobacco fields, men are easily led into
excitement.
Veterans Do Xot Help Palma.
Very few of the more conspicuous vet
erans have tendered their services to
President Palma to assist in suppress
ing the insurrection. The masses pro
test fidelity to the Government, but
there is less surprise than might be sup
posed at the outbreak of the insurrec
tion. A Cabinet Minister stated to the As
sociated Press this evening that two de
tachments of Rural Guards this after
noon attempted to surround Bandores'
company of Insurgents, but that the lat
ter refused battle and fled. General Go
mez has been ordered brought to Ha
vana. Pino 'Guerra's party, the largest band
of insurgents in the Province of Pinar
del Rio today, consists of only 200 men.
Their war cry is. "Long Live the Lib
eral Party; Death to Estrada Falma!"
General Nunez severely reprimanded
several Aleades of the Province of Ha
vana for deserting their towns and com
ing to the city. The Governor is organ
izing small armed groups under the Al
cacie of each town.
Revolt Reaches Santa Clara.
A dispatch received here tonight from
Santo Domingo, Province of Santa Clara,
states there are 40 Insurgents out in
that vicinity, the first insurrectionist
movement in the Province. The people
are arming in their own defense.
A group of Insurgents near Colon. Prov
ince of Matanzas. was pursued today by
a Government detachment, which cap
tured three and fatally wounded one of
the band. Several more conspirators
were arrested late tonight in Havana.
General Gomez" secretary, Juan Men
da, who has been arrested, is being
"sweated" by the authorities in an ef
fort to Viave him reveal the plans of
his superior. All of the suspects under
arrest in Havana are held under heavy
guard In the City Prison, and no one
is permitted to approach them. Mem
bers of the secret police are searching
the houses and personal effects of the
men under arrest in the hope that they
will be able to secure a list that will
Include the names of leaders of the op
position. So far they have been un
successful. EXPERTS SHOOT AT TRAPS

DISGRACED GENERAL HAS CON
FIDENCE: OF SOLDIERS.
Czar May Recall Old Fighter to
Bring Army Back to Its
Allegiance.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 22. (Spe
cial.) Is General Kuropatkin, once the
pride of the entire Russian army. War
Minister and fighter by nature, but
whose laurels were trampled under
foot by the victorious Japanese at
Liaoy&ng, in the earlier days of the
fighting in Northern Corea, and Man
churia, to be vindicated?
That is the question uppermost in
the mind of every officer of the army
tonight, and also the chief topic of
discussion at the military clubs, on the
question arising through the indus
trious circulation of a report that the
Czar has sent for the General and in
tends to place him once again at the
head of the Department of War. Such
action would overthrow all ancient
Russian traditions, but it is appar
ently necessary.
Kuropatkin Is the one man, and
probably the only one in all Russia,
who is in a position to reorganize the
army. He is loved by the common sol
dier, who believes that he is the only
officer of general rank who has their
interest at heart. If Intrusted with
the task of bringing back the allegi
ance of the troops to the "Little
Father," he could do it, and the knowl
edge that this is is responsible for
the belief here that he is to come into
his own again.
Since his return from the front, a
disgraced and broken-hearted man, the
Ceneral has been in retirement at his
mother's home, but it Is generally ex
pected that ho will soon be back in
the capital In his old position as Min
ister of War.
Engineer Talks for His Life.
HELSINGFORS. Aug. 21. Eight
masked men -today seized Engineer
Llnsted, of the Finnish Railroad, in
tending to execute him for betraying
the names of the members of the Red
Guard who blew up the railroad line
during the Sveaborg mutiny. Llnsted
escaped by declaring that the offend
er was another man of the same name.
TAKE MEN OFF A SCHOONER
Billy Gohl, of Aberdeen, Said to

HOQUIAM, Aug. 21. Billy Gohl. of
Aberdeen, and eight or ten men went
down the harbor in a launch tonight and
took two men from the schooner Watson
A. West. The men returned through
here heavily armed. Gohl led the at
tack on the schooner Fearless early in
the summer, that vessel being now again
in the harbor.
MUCH WHISKY SAVES HIS LIFE

Mark Wilcox, Looking for Horses, Is
Bitten by Rattlesnake.
CONCONULLT, Wash., Aug. 21. (Spe
cial.) Mark Wilcox was bitten by a rattle
snake and it was only by the prompt use
of remedies and a half gallon of whisky
that his lifewvas saved. Wilcox lives on
Ruby Mountain and had gone in search
of horses which were grazing on Peacock
Mountain. He stopped to rest at the
mouth of a mine, sitting on an old powder-box.
Feeling the lid give away be
neath his weight he put his hand down
to save himself and a rattler colled in
side the box struck him on the finger.
Wilcox threw the rattler from him
down the dump and started on a run for
his home, sucking the poison from
the bite as he ran. The arm began swell
ing at once and by the time he had
reached the house was almost twice its
natural size. A chicken was Immediately
killed and the wounded finger thrust deep
into the warm breast of the bird. Whisky
was administered in liberal doses, and
heart action was maintained.
BAKER CITY COUNCIL ANGRY
Fiddling With Paving Contract Has
Roused Fighting Blood.
BAKER CITY, Or., Aug. 21. (Special.)
Injunction followed injunction in Baker
City today, and the Council that was yes
terday prohibited from refusing bids on
paving was today enjoined from laying a
sidewalk. The Council is angry. It has
proceeded to hire a special attorney to
fight the cases, and at a special meeting:
tonight declared it would fight them to
the bitter end. Harry W. Bowen, presi
dent of the Council, tonight said:
We have been played for fools. If we
had told these people when they came to
us and asked paving- that they could not
afford it and that they did not know their
own minds, they would have tarred and
feathered us. Now they tell us Just that.
They can't play with this Council. As tar
as we've gone It looks like we were nothing-
but fools, but now we will fight.

Body Found In Clearwater.
LEWISTON, Idaho, Aug. 21. (Special.)

body, supposed to be that of Jerry Quick,
an old Pierce City mining man, well
known in Lewlston and Spokane, have
been recovered on the banks of the Mid
dle Fork of Clearwater River by O. E.
Scott. The body was taken from the
water about 24 miles above Kooskia, 16
miles below where Quick was accidentally
drowned last Winter.
At the time of the accident Quick was
