Wllili NOT ACT. AS PAYMASTER Government's Functions in New Dominican Treaty Avert Criticism. WASHINGTON. Sept. 20. A new treaty with Santo Domingo probably will be negotiated. The contentious feature of the treat yprevlously negotiated, which failed of ratification by the United States Senate, very likely will be eliminated. By the terms of the proposed convention the United States will not act as the fiscal agent of Santo Domingo in full capacity, that Is, it will not act as pay master of Santo Domingo in the liquida tion of the country's debts. Under the proposed convention the United States will continue to collect the customs revenues of the island repub lic and out of these revenues create a sinking fund for the liquidation of the foreign debts of Santo Domingo. Santo Domingo will obligate herself to this country to use a specified proportion of the customs receipts for the payment of Its debts, but the United States will not act as paymaster. It is believed at the State Department that the elimination of one or two of the features in the former treaty to which the Senate objected will result in the ratification of the proposed con- vention when it is submitted to the Sen- ate.

Auker said he was going; to Portland. When asked where he got on Van Auker replied that he had some busi ness with a man who lived near the switch, and had to see him before boarding the train. The three sat in the smoker, chatting and smoking. , Only a few minutes from Portland Van Auker said he must go to see his wife. Since then he has not been seen.. Both his wife and his father-in-law alighted from the train on Its arrival at the Union Depot, but Van Auker "himself was missing. ' No Trace of Fugitive, v. Up to an early hour no trace of Van Auker had been found in this city. Police Captain Bruin stated that he had been : advised to look out for him. but added that he had not been telegraphed a war rant and would not make an arrest until he received some authority. A dispatch from an Oregonlan staff correspondent at Rainier says that the suspected cashier was not arrested yesterday because of 'the unwillingness of President Lewis, of the looted bank, to sign a complaint. The dispatch states, however, that the Surety Company has wired asking that an i rest be made at once and that the war rant will be signed this morning by President Lewis or by'Detective Allen. Editor Kemp, who came to the city on the same train with Van Auker last night admits that he had a stormy interview with the latter at Rainier last evening when he met Van Auker for the first time after the news of Van Auker's virtual arrest by the detectives was published. While Kemp was waiting at the Rainier depot Van Auker, who strongly resented Kemp's role in the investiga tion, came up to the editor and grabbed him by the coat, and shaking a clenched fist In his face, cried out: "You are the man I am looking for. I shall get you yet.? As Kemp had heard on his arrival that Van Auker had made several threats against him during the day and had called at the Register's office three times during the day, he was prepared for Van Auker's attack, and assumed a position of defense. He ar gued with Van Auker for a short time on the depot platform, and both men parted In good humor. T LAIIXDRYMEN HOM CONVEN TION AT PENDLETON.

JOY OVER EIGHT-HOUR LAW Federation Thinks Political Cam paign Stirred Up Roosevelt. WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. After de voting considerable time to a discus sion of the President's order directing an extension of the operation of the eight-hour law, the executive council of the American Federation of Labor finally adjourned today.

J SNAGS IN COURSE (Continued From Pace 1.) the heart of the ruler of the grandest Nation In the world. I do not. fear and I expect gen erous dealings. I believe Independence la safe and that we shall emerge from this situation better able to sustain the stability of our reDublle. There may have been fr&uda In our elec tions, as there have been elsewhere, but as a whole there Is no reason to aunul thm. Given all opportunities and the best electoral boards the Liberals never conld have suc ceeded In electing- their candidate. Jose Miguel Gomez. The fact that the Liberals accepted the results of the election, participated in the work of Congress and accepted offices for a year detracts from the force of the revolu tionists' arguments and their claims of fraud. I toid Mr. Tart that an Immense maiorlty, Includins all the Intelligence and wealth and some of the Liberals, were against the revo lution, for the obvious reaeon that no rood, practical Cuban favors revolution, because It means less independence. We cannot accept the Liberals' conditions, because new elec tions after a revolution would mean, a vic tory for lawbreakers and encourage others to follow their example. We want peace, hot more bloodshed and destruction. We want, above all. to preserve our be loved independence and are unwilling to live, like some convulsed republic, where there is no prosperity and progress, constantly ham pered by revolution. In accordance with the- suggestions of Liberal leaders to Secretary Taft, the government has granted passes to General Asbert, one of the insurgent leaders in Havana province, and General Machaio and Orestes Ferrari, Insurgent leaders of Santa Clara Province, to come to Ha vana to testify before the American me diators. The attorney of Editor Munos has cited the order of General Leonard Wood, when Governor-General of Cuba, during the period of American Intervention, pro. hibiting the placing of anybody 4n com municado, which, the attorney claims, supercedes the Spanish law under which martial law was decreed. GATHERING VP AMMUNITION Arsenals Prepare Supplies and Plans for Movement Go Ahead. WASHINGTON. Sept. 20. Preparation is the watchword of the army regarding Cuba. Not only have complete plans been prepared, but every Department has made arrangements to meet the emergency of intervention If it should occur. General Crozier. Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance is now at the Rock Island arsenal in Illi nois and a few' days ago he visited the Frankfort arsenal at Philadelphia. As a result, considerable activity has been displayed in getting ammunition for small arms and light field guns ready for movement in case orders for such action are issued. The Ordnance Bureau has on hand a supply to equip a small army, but not enough for a large army and It is supposed that General Crozier's visit is with a view to supplying the deficiency. It Is stated in other bureaus of the Department that the plans for a possible movement have been progressing for some time and that any necessity can be promptly met The Navy Department has received more requests from parties having plan tations in Cuba, asking that forces be sent for the protection of .different places. The Department, with the force under way, is unable to comply with the re quest. Information of the Navy Depart ment at Clenfuegos is that Commander Fullam has landed all the available forces and utilized them to the best advantage for protecting the threatened Interests In the vicinity of Cienfuegos. It is under stood that the Dixie, after landing the bluejackets and marines at Cienfuegos, has returned to Santo Domingo. It is ex pected the Dixie will be replaced by the Cleveland. The Navy Department today received from St. Augustine, Fla., a wireless mes sage from the cruiser Cleveland saying that she passed that point at sea this mornnig on her way to Havana. Nothing has been heard from the cruiser Tacoma, but it is thought the Tacoma is sailing with the Cleveland. REBEL CONFERENCE CALLED Generals to Meet In Havana Taft Wins Menocal's Praise. HAVANA, Sept. 20. The leaders of the revolutionary movement have called all the Generals i the field to a conference in Havana. They are safe from molesta tion during the truce. General Menocal, the head of the veterans, said to the As sociated Press that he believed Secretary Taft was bound to find a solution of the difficulty. He was delighted with the Sec retary's forceful tact in securing all basic facts bearing on the matter. FtJNSTON REACHES CAPITAL Will Leave Saturday to Join Taft in Havana. WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 20. Gen eral Frederick Funston. In obedience to orders from Secretary Taft, arrived here today on his way to Cuba. No addi tional orders have been Issued regarding General Funston since the first one call ing him here and he will proceed to Cuba with as much expedition as possible. It was found that he could not leave Tampa until Sunday night and so he has delayed his departure from this city until Satur day. General Funston says that, further than his orders from the Secretary, he knows nothing of the duty for which he is destined. Naturally the visit of General Funston revives the discussion about his probable command in Cuba in case the United States intervenes and sends an army to the island, but the General had nothing to say on that matter. DON'T BOTHER PINE ISLANDERS Palma's Order Issued When They Reject Insurgent Overtures. HAVANA. Sept. 20. In view of com, plaints from American residents of the Isle of Pines, the government has pro hibited further search of American homes there or other molestation. It has developed that the Americans on the Isle of Pines were approached by the insurgents and asked to co-operate to the extent of not resisting a landing by the Insurgents and their use of the island as a base of supply. This the Americans refused and they declared It is especially unjust to disarm them and Invade their homes In a high-handed manner. Consul-General Steinhart has presented the matter to the government with the result that no further interference with the Isle of Pines Americans will be per mitted. REDUCES THE RATES. New Schedule of Distance Tariffs in Northwest. Announcement was made yesterday through the freight department of the O. R. & K. in Portland that a 'uniform distance tariff is to 'be put into effect on all railroad lines, except the Southern Pacific, throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. The change is to be made in Washington in conforming to a decree which ia soon to be issued by the Washington Railroad Commission, and the companies are carrying the change voluntarily into the other states In order to . make the rates harmonize and to meet the demand for a reduction. The new distance tariff will apply be tween ail points where there Is not at present a special commodity rate lower thaji the proposed schedule. In many cases it will lower rates between interior towns as much as 20 per cent, but will not greatly affect the distributing rates out of Portland. Between many points there is already a commodity rate less than the maximum under the new align ment, and in such cases there will be no change. It is expected that the order of the Washington Railway Commission will be issued within a few Jays and it is prob able that the new rate3 will go Into effect Immediately thereafter. The com panies have everything arranged so that nothing will be left to do except issue the printed tables of rates when the commission gives its rulings. The rates will not apply upon the Southern Pacific at present, but may be changed to do so later. The Southern Pacific tariffs correspond very closely in many cases with the new ones which are to be put into effect. GO DOWN WITH AIL HANDS MANX STEAMERS SUNK AT SEA IN GREAT TYPHOON. Loss Is 5000 Lives and $20,000,. 000 Captain Thomas, Deserted hy Crew, Saves His Sh4p. HONGKONG, Sept. 20. The full extent of the catastrophe in the recent typhoon is not fully known yet, but conservative estimates place the number of Chinese who lost their lives at 5000 and the total of the material damage to the colony at J30,000,000. Reports of disasters at sea are being constantly received here. The steamer Albatross, with 150 pas sengers on board, foundered near Futaum en Pass. Only six passengers and two of the crew were saved. They swam ashore. The steamer Hongkong was also lost and her entire crew is missing. The steamer Tingfat, from Samchun. foundered and 130 passengers and her crew are missing. Only two of the crew are known to have been rescued. Mrs. Hoare and her search party have returned. They found no trace of her husband, Joseph Charles Hoare, Anglican Bishop of Victoria, whose yacht was lost during the typhoon. Captain Thomas, commander of the riv er steamer Fatshan. whose Chinese crew clambered on board the French mall steamer Pollnesian when the Fatshan collided with her, saved his vessel and 150 Chinese passengers by splendid seaman ship. Fortunately the engine-room staff stuck heroically to their posts. Captain Thomas was left almost single-handed on deck. He took the wheel and navigated the Fatshan for one hour and 40 minutes through a tempestuous sea and finally beached the vessel safely. It Is believed she can be refloated without trouble. The staff of the Jardine-Matheson Sugar Refinery rescued 200 Chinamen from sink ing sampans. The losses of the Kowloon Go Down (Warehouse) Company are estimated at J750,000. Forty thousand bales of yarn which were in storage at Kowloon prob ably are irretrievably , damaged. The beach is littered with valuable silks, and many looters have been arrested here and at Kowloon. There are ample supplies of rice to re lieve distress. There were 700 Chinese passengers on board the steamer Heung Shan-, from Macao, which stranded oft Lantao Island. All the European passengers, including three women, were saved. Many tf the Chinese, including women, were drowned, but the total number of deaths Is not known. The position of the Heung Shan is hopeless. Sir Matthew Nathan, Governor of Hongkong, speaking to the Leg islative Council today, said he intend ed to appoint a commission to Inquire into the charges made against the observatory to the effect that it had failed to give warning of the coming of the typhoon. He said he was confi dent that the director of the observa tory could not be blamed. Inquiries into individual acts of heroism, with the view of according recognition, also will be started. The Governor has ac cepted the offer of the American squad ron to co-operate in rescue work. MOVE BODIES IN CARTLOADS Soldiers Clear Wreckage and Stench Overpowers Scavengers.

There one man engaged Guiseppe in conversation while the other took his money to place it In the vault.

He said that two of the doctors had visited Thaw before in the Tombs.
