WORSI THAN REPORTED.
A Cnant ltry nf FeadeTella'e Ter
rible Atrocities la Oiuib
New York, Jan. It. Antonio
Agnierro, a member of the Havana pro
dace exchAnge, arrived here on the
fteamer Orizaba, from Havana. He
was a resident of Gtianabaooa, where, ac
cording to recent reports from Havana,
atrocities were commiteed by the Span
iih troop, under Colonel Fondeveila.
Benor Aguierro when seen last night
aid:
"The report which reach the
United Statea of the state of affairs in
Gnanabaooa are far from telling the
whole truth. Colonel Fondeveila has
instituted a reign of terror at the place.
His name is well known to the Ameri
can press as that of the mwt blood
thirsty officer of General Weyler's com-
wand. He is a favorite of the captain
general and has been appointed military
commander of Gnanabacoa, just acroes
the bay from Havnaa.
"Fully 500 families have left the
town and moved into Havana since hif
taking charge. People are taken from
their homes and killed with machetes
in the outskirts of the town. The
world is then made to believe that each
people were leaving their homes to join
the rebles, who swarm in the neigh
borhood. I know of thirty-nine persons
who have thus been done away with.
"Even honest Spaniards are shocked
at Fondeveila'a acta. One of the honest
Spaniards warned me that my name
was on the list with more than 200
more kept by Fondeveila as men
marked by him for secret execution as
rebel sympathizers. Being a thorough
ly neutral man and having good friends
among the Cubans and Spaniards alike,
I managed to obtain my passport for
the United States. I owe my escape
from Fondeveila's clutches to my Span
ish friends, toward whom I feel the
greatest gratitude.
THE FUNDING BILL.
Debate) Opened by Represents!! Paw
ere Feature! of the Meaanre.
Washington, Jan. 11. The Pacific
railroads funding bill, which is con
sidered the most important piece of
legislation which will come before con
gress at this session, came up today in
the house, under a special order, which
allows two days for general debate and
one day for amendments and debate
under the five-minute rule, wih pro
vision for a final vote within four
days. There was a great deal of in
terest in the measure, and the members
gave all the speakers close attention. A
huge map of the roads, with their feed
ers, was hung on a frame erected in
the area in front of the speaker's ros
trum, and served to illustrate many of
the points made. There were only four
speakers today Powers of Vermont
the chairman of the Pacific railroads
commission, who opened with an ex
haustive two hours' argument in sup
port of the bill; Hubbard of Missouri,
the minority member of the committee,
who has charge of the opposition, and
Grow and Bell, who spoke respectively
for and against the measure.
The Senate'! Action.
Washington, Jan. 11. The Repub
lican and Democratio steering com
mittees today decided to make the Pa
cific railroads funding bill the order of
business in the senate after the free
homestead bill. The Republican com
mittee, with Senator Allison, its chair
man, present, was in session for an
hour, when Senators Gorman and Cock
rell were called in as representatives of
the Democratio committee. There was
no opposition in either committee to the
proposition to give the bill considera
tion, and to place the time for hearing
at as early a date as practicable. The
agreemet was made only conditional
upon the passage .of the bill through
the house. If it fails there, it will not
be considered in the senate. No at
tempt will be made to provide for the
consideration of any other bill
The Mora Claim.
Washington, Jan. 11. The senate,
in executive session, has adopted a reso
lution instructing the committee on
foreign relations to investigate the pay
ment of the fitlar claims. The reso
lution was introduced by Senator
Chandler, and instructs the committee
to ascertain, among other things,
whether the settlement, providing for
the payment of (1,500,000 on account
of the claim, was fair one. It also

Airship Invented In Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Jan. 11. Charles D. De
forest, a Pittsburg inventor, who has
been interested in the stories about the
alleged California airship, says he has
a flying machine that will fly. Yester
day he exihibted a model which flew
across a field. He believed the airship
should be built on the principle of a
bird's flight, and his model looks like
a large hawk or eagle. He was careful
to arrange it so that the body of the
bird would hold sufficient gas to make
the machine buoyant enough to elevate
and sustain itself in the air. After
filling the model with gas he attached
a rope to it. As soon as he released
the model it started skyward until the
end of the rope was reached. Deforest
has made a number of public tests of
his model and all were successful.
natural Gas a Mineral.
New York, Jan. 11. Judges La
combe and Wallace, of the United
States oircuit court of appeals, in a de
cision filed today, classify natural gas
as a mineral for all the purposes of the
statutes and customs laws.

tion of the body, it was apparent that
James had been dead several days. The
case was clearly one of suioide.

Wheat Setre and High.
San Francisco, Jan. 1 1. Wheat in
this market has become scarce, and is
daily advancing. Shippers would will
ingly pay $1.60 per cental for good No.
1 shipping wheat today, and it is
known among a few that they have
paid as high as $1.62 for something
extra choice within the last forty-eight
hours. Owing to the growing scarcity
of wheat in this state, the San Fran
cisco market possesses a firmness inde
pendent of the other leading markets.
It is said that there are not more than
350,000 tons of wheat remaining in the
entire state to supply the export de
mand and home requirements before
another crop is harvested. There has
been a decrease of 74,715 tons within
one year.
Blown Out to Ben.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 11. As th
United States revenue cutter Boutwell
was approaching the mouth of St
John's river late last evening the look
out discovered a cat-rigged boat flying
a signal of distress. One of the Bout
well's boats sent to investigate found a
sailor in the bottom of the yawl. He
was unconscious and his mouth was on
his naked forearm as though he had
tried to drink his own blood.
He proved to be Captain Charles
Herman, of Providence, R. L On No
vember 21, accompanied by Charles
Gladding, he set out in the yawl Coch
eco for a cruise along the coast of Flor
ida. When they left Charleston on
December 26 they were blown out to
sea. Thoir provisions and water were
soon exhausted.
Twenty More Armenians Liberated.
New York, Jan. 11. A Herald dis
patch from Constantinople says:
The last twenty of the 888 Armenian
prisoners in Constantinople were liber
ated yesterday. There are still in
prison twerjty-five prisoners condemned
to death, one of whom is Bishop Arab
gari. As to the number of Armenian
priests in prison condemned to death,
only two have up to the present time
been mentioned to the patriarchate as
worthy of pardon. Sixty-five Armeni
ans who had sought refuge in Varna
returned yesterday evening .and were
delivered without difficulty to tho Ar
menian patriarchate.
A Fanner round Dead.
Heppner, Or., Jan. 11. M. D. Lo
gan ,a farmer, living about ten miles
from here, was found dead in a gulch
near the residence of Robert Dexter,
yestei day forenoon. He was last seen
Friday evening, when he left here for
home. He was then considerably under
the influence of liquor, and it is
thought that he had a bottle with him,
and became so intoxicated that he fell
off his horse and died from exposure.
The remains were brought in last
night. Logan leaves a large family in
poor circumstances. The verdict of
the coroner's jury was that Logan died
from intoxication and exposure.
Seventy-Five Cents for Wheat.
Garfield, Wash., Jan. 11. The last
sale of wheat was effected Saturday at
75 cents a bushel, the top price reached
in the Palouse country this season. A
pool was formed six weeks ago, repre
senting about 20,000 bushels, that
were to be held until wheat reached 75
cents. This cleans up nearly all of
the wheat within twenty miles of Gar
field, and a famine in seed wheat is ex
pected before spring.
The Bilver-Fox Bill.
Washington, Jan. 11. The house
committee on territories today agreed
to report the bill whioh has passed the
senate authorizing the secretary of the
interior to use his discretion to lease
certain islands in Alaska for terms of
twenty years, for the purpose of propa
gating the silver fox. At present, the
lease can be for but one year, which is
not sufficient for the purpose proposed.
Against a Bed notion.
Massillon, O., Jan. 11. A conven

coal miners of the Massillon district
decided today that the miners would
not accept the ten cents reduction or

are firm and a strike is probable. The
United Mine Workers will probably
take similar action tomorrow.

Sm, Jan. 11. The state tax levy
for 1897 was declared today, and it is
4 mills. It is customary to make- the
appropriation of the last legislature
the basis in estimating the state's ex
penses. There was an exception this
time in the matter of appropriations
for the homes, w'hioh keeps the levy
down.

A Serious Uprising.
Vrysburg, Buchuanaland, Jan. 11.
The rising of the Baltoros tribe on the
Mashoning river, resulting in the mur
der of a trader named Robinson, and
the taking prisoners of his wife and
child, is believed to be more soriotH
than the Pakwani rising. The 'natives
are scouring the country with red flajjs,
and grave fears are felt for the safety
of settlers.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkla Co-'s Rt1w t
Trade.
Wheat on Friday of last week had
lost 6c from the highest point, though
a portion of the loes was recovered be
fore the close on Saturday, and the to
tal loss for the week was 4c Taking
the news of the week as a whole there
was nothing to suggest a reason for the
decline unless it be the further bank
troubles reported from the Nojthwest.
That, however, is not a good reason to
assigu, as banks at Chicago are anxious
to lend money on wheat securities and
have plenty of it for all api.tcanta hav
ing a 10 per cent margin. The true
reason was the taking of profits, which
to some big traders were sufficiently en
ticing at the opening advance on Mon
day 85 e for May delivery. The de
cline throughout the week was steady,
until on Friday, when the tide was
turned by the bringing into line of large
buying orders for export. Corn and
oats suffered losses of 7-8c and 5-8c re
spectively in sympathy with wheat
The trade has generally become con
vinced that the Argentine surplus will
be lighter than heretofore figured on,
and those who estimated it at 20,000,
000 bushels ten days ago, have reduced
their figures to 12,000,000 bushels.
This is the result of bad weather, there
being too much rain at harvest, the
same as the winter wheat crop here
suffered last year, taking off probably
20,000,000 bushels from the yield.
This makes the second year that the
Argentine crop has been damaged by
i unseasonable weather at harvest time,
but this year it has been somewhat
'damaged by locusts. The latest esti
; mates make a reduction of 8,000,000
bushels from what the bulls figured on.
To make the situation more bullish
i is the prospect of a scarce crop, snow
! and cold weather following two days of
j rain over the winter wheat country,
i which is not a good thing for the crop,
j This may start buying by the country,
j and when they get in there is no tell
I ing where the price will go. The much
I talked of $1 would be realized within a
short time.

that Harry had 5 n appointment. on the

Father's Horn est io Headship.
Dr. Charles H. Parkbutst, D. D., in
the Ladles' Home Journal writes con
cerning "The Father's Domestic Head
ship:" While, perforce of ordinary cir
cumstances, the father's duties will hold '
him considerably apart from the con
tacts of home l.fe, yet whatever suc
cesses he may achieve outside will not
atone for any failure ou his part to re
gard his bom as the prime sphere of
his obligation and the point nrouod
which his devotemccts will cluster In
distinguished earnestness and conutnr- i
cy. Whatever he may have achieved ;
In his art, trade, profession or other en-1
gagement, the man who stands at the j
head of a household has been In the !
broad sense of the term a failure If b '
lias not been a true husband and n wise, !
strong and devoted father. It cannot
be a successful home where th mother ;
looks after the children and the father
looks after bis business. The most
productive services rendered are al
ways personal, and any amount of ex
ertion expended outside In providing
for the necessities of the homo will not
take the place of that tiltlonal minis
try which comes only by the direct and
continuous contact of father with child.
However completo a woman nisy be as

to his children that the mother will be
less abls to do lis well as less Intended

JACKETS OR NO JACKETS.
This Is Not Fashion Article, bat la
Iateratln to Womankind.
It la rarely In this country that pota
to are boiled before they are peeled,
or. In the old-fanhloned way of express
ing It, In their "Jackets," and yet In
Ireland the very hettdutinrtera of this
vegetable, such a thing Is scarcely
knowu as pre-peellng them. Those who
have never tried them In this way are
advised to do so some day. wheu they
can make sure they are Drought to the
table the moment they are done, and
not allowed to stand any length of time
before they are eateti. Select those of
eiiual size, allow them, after washing
aud scrubbing thoroughly, to stand
covered with cold water for half an
hour, then throw Into plenty of boiling
water, and after boiling twenty min
utes prick to the heart with a two
pronged fork; If not soft, cook a little
longer, drain, sprinkle wiih salt, return
to the range, and when the saucepan is
hot, toss them, to allow the salt to
shake evenly through and to dry well,
place In a warm napkin on a red-hot
plate and serve with good, sweet but
ter. The flavor of the snowy, flewy
morsels, taken from the Jackets and
buttered as they are eaten, will be
found to be much better than If peeled
before boiling: Indeed, epicures declare
they can detect the difference at once,
and as the most nutrltloui part Of a po
tato is next to the skin none of this Is
lost. .

they are very savory, yet easily pre
pared, drilling la merely another name
for broiling, and unless one possesses a
perforated broiler, not expensive, how
ever, shaped like a wnllle Iron, which
comes on purpose to cook articles thnt
would slip through the ordinary grid
iron or broiler, they may be cooked
easily, quickly nnd satisfactorily by
proceeding as follows: Make the frying
pan or chafing dish sizzling hot, drop
in a teaspoonful of sweet butter, or use
the oil In which the sardines are pack
ed as preferred. Tho pan must be kept
very hot, wheu the fish will brown ut
most Instantly on one side, then turn
ed, browned on the other, and they are
ready to he served on toasted crackers
or squares of toast softened with houlll
Ion. The butcher will supply marrow
bones on purpose for grilling, and they,
too, fit In excellently with potatoes In
their jackets, as would scallops, done
to a golden brown In boiling olive oil,
fried shrimps, roasted crabs and the
like.
People who have an open grate with
a glowing Are of hard coal, possens the
moans, with the addition 'of a chafing
dish, that make possible the most sav
ory .suppers Imaginable, and may de
light their friends by novel Invitations
to sup, with the words "potatoes In
their Jackets" added, instead of "danc
ing," "cards," or what not.
No Idea ol' Mn do.
Colonel Burr, of Virginia, was a
mighty fox-hunter, and loved the sport
beyond words. lie owned a line pin-k
of hounds, and, during the season,
thought of nothing but his hunters, his
dogs, and tho weather. lie was ouce
entertaining an aruiy friend from Tex
as, whose Ideas of hunting any animal
involved the use of fire-arms, and who
hnd never seen a fox-hound. He had
been with dillieuity persuaded to go
forth one morning with the colonel and
some friends to a meet, and they were
waiting Impatiently for the hounds to
take the scent. Presently there burnt
upon their listening ears the din of thir
ty canine voices in full cry. The col
onel's eyes gleamed, and, as he settled
his feet In the stirrups and stretched
his arm toward the yelping pack, he
cried: "Major, listen to that heavenly
music!" The major pricked up his
ears for a second or two, nnd then re
plied: "I can't hear a thing. Those
dogs are making such a noise." The
colonel put his spur savagely Into his
horse's side and dashed away, leav
ing his guest to his own devices.
For Advertising Purposes.
Experiments have lately been mndo
In Switzerland with a view to putting
the beautiful lakes of that country to
some practical account.
Hitherto these waters have been ad
mired merely because of their natural
beauty, but now some enterprising
business men have devised a scheme
by which they may be made useful for
advertising purposes.
The plan Is to paint the words of
the advertisement In big white letters
on a black background.
When sunk and securely held at the
bottom of the lake, the advertisement
Is perfectly legible, the reflection of the
light on passing through the water
bringing the words near the surface.
It is announced that hitherto the ex
periments that have been made have
been very successful.
One Way to Break Glass.
It Is scarcely credible, but It Is a fact,
that a glnss can be broken by the voice.
If you strike a thin wine glass while
you hold It by tho stem It will emit a
certain note In most cases a pretty
deep one, On approaching the glass
rapidly to your mouth, and shouting
Into it the same note as loudly as possi
ble, the vibrations of the glass being
thereby extended, It will be shivered
Into fragments. This tirfod to be a fav
orite experiment of Lahlache, the re
nowned singer, who would thus break,
one after the other, as many glasses as
were handed to him.
Slept a Tear.
In Blanchet's curious book, "Comptes
Rendus," mention Is made of a girl
who at the age of 18 had a peculiar
"spell," which tho physicians pronounc
ed "constitutional lethargic slumber,"
which lasted for forty days. Again at
the age of 20 she slept for fifty days.
Her last recorded "long sleep" lasted
almost a year from April 20, 1862, un
til March, 1803.

A Happy Gonple.
'Squire Moors and His Estimable Wife
Intsrast a Ropnrtar.
from Tribune, llrscley, Colorado.
Among the many jrood people resid
ing in Greeley, Colorado, 'Squire
Moore and his amiable wife are the
best known and the most respeoted.
This happy couple were born In West
Hiding, of York, England, in 1820. In
1848 they emigrated to this country
and settled in Derby, Conn., where they
resided for a number of years. While
there Mr. Moore, who was highly
respected by his neighbors, was elected
a member of the state legislature in
1807.
A reporter called on them recently
and was reooived cordially and in re
sponse to his inquiries, Mrs. Moore
said: "For four years I was miserable,
hardly a week paused during that time
but what I suffered from extreme lati
tude. The least exertion fatigued mo.
At times when I was sewing or read
ing, I would Imj troubled with tingling
sensations, like the pricking of pins iu
hands, foot, arms and legs. Occasion
ally I would suffer from profuse per
spiration, the water fairly running
from my faco and hands. Then for
days it would seem impossible for me
to enjoy a minute of warmth. I would
it in a rocking chair alongside a roar
ing tire in the stove wrapped up in
blankets, yet while my face would be
scrorohed, the rest of my body would
be chilled.
"Finally, despite my opposition, my
husband called in a physician, who
j attributed my ailment to rheumatism
! and prescribed for that complaint. A
! day or two afterwards he changed his
opinion, saying I was attacked with la
j grippe; also changed his medioine, but
to no purpose. I was going from bad
to worse. The tingling sensations
j were resumed. At times I would be
i incapable of doing anythtng with my
! hands and my hustxind was fearful that
! I was suffering from partial paralysis,
j "One evening, while reading the
j New York Triubne, he read to me a
I statement of a wonderful cure perfected
j by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. H and
J I had at times read similar testimoni-
ols describing the great powers and
virtue of these pills. But this night
; in particular, t was impressed with
; what he read and told him it wouldn't
; do any harm to try a box. The next
; morning he purchased a box of the
Pink Pills and I commenced taking
, them according to directions, three
j times a day. Within a week I felt
; better, and when I had finished that box
' I asked my husband to get me another
