BRITISH COLUMBIA INDIANS,
Tronble Eetvera the Tribes
on the
Vancouver IUnt Coast.
Viotoria, July 12. The troubles 0f
the sealiug schooners with their Indian
orews on the west coast have not been
entirely settled yet, as when the steam
er Tees, which arrived todav, callei
the captain of the Dominion cutter was
still trying to arrange matters.
The Tees brings news of the trouble
between the different tribes of Indians
on the coast. In years gone by, an ar
rangement was made with the chief of
the Nootka Indians and the Kitkathlas
that by paying a bounty of one
every seven skins taken the Kitkathlas
cotiid come down and hunt sea otters
on the shore of the Nootka reservation
The arrangement worked well while
the Nootka Indians were away sealing,
and the chief reaped a rich harvest, but
now that the Nootkas are at home, they
do not fall in with the proposition
Accordingly, when the Kitkathlas came
down to hunt as before, they sent out
a messenger ordering them to go home.
ihey at once refused. Another mes
senger was sent, telling them that un
less they did so, the Nootkas would
come ont and fight.
The affair did not come to blows, as
the tribesmen, following the exampl
set by civilized communities, held a
big "wah-wah." II. Gillet, Indian
agent at Alberni, ' on board the Tees,
aoiea as judge oetween tne opposing
factions, and decided in favor of the
Nootkas. There was a lively .time at
the pow-wow, and several times the
tribesmen nearly came to blows. The
Kitkathlas are much worked up over
the matter. When the Tees left they
were still encamped on the heach at
Nootka holding "wan wahs" among
themselves, indignation meetings, as it
were. Two of them went to Kyuaot to
try to catch the Quadra to lay their
grievance before Captain Walbran.
Failing to get satisfaction from him,
they will come to Victoria to lay the
matter before the superintendent of In
dian affairs.
WAR TALK IN JAPAN.
Government la Urged to Send Warships
Across the Pacific.
Seattle, Wash., July 12. The Jap
anese press is grinding out fierce edito
rials on the pending annexation treaty
with Hawaii, and if these bellicose par
agraphs represent the national spirit,
,Jthe war feeling is certainly rampant
Japanese. A number of late
rived here yesterday from
f the Nippon Vusen Kaisha
ateannsep Matsuyama Maru. They
devote columns to consideration of the
annexation qnesiton, and the tenor of
the majority favors resistance against
the proposed action of the United
States. The Japan Daily Mail of June
24 says editorially:
"It is certainly true that the little
band of Americans who have arrogated
the right to dispose of the Hawaiian
islands are usurpers; that they have at'
tained their comamnding- position by a
trick and that they have not the slight
est moral title to the property which
they are now quietly undertaking to
band over to the United States."
The Kokumin Shimbun contends
that Japan must handle the matter
with a firm determination to shed blood
if need be, for the maintenance of the
rights and interests of the 25,000 Jap
anese in Hawaii, together with the
prestige and honor of Japan. It does
not advise, however, that snch strict
measures should be adopted until every
other method of pacification has failed,
The Tokio Shimbun says: "The war
ship Naniwa is quite capable of afford
ing the Japanese in Hawaii ample pro
tection. If additional men-of-war are
to be sent anywhere, they should be
eut in the form of a squadron to the
other side of the Pacific. Unless we
are determined to take that step, if
necessary, how can we effectually wipe
away the indignity to which we have
been subjected?"
A Duty on Salmon.
Vancouver, a, v., July 12. A new
dimcuity confronted the Fraser river
cannerg today by the announcement
that a duty of 1 per cent per fish would
be charged on all salmon brought in
from the American side. As most of
the canners have fishtraps at Point
Roberts, on the American side of the
.line, the duty, it enforced, will be a
' fmsiderable itefo in the expenes of the
rz.z. , ti i - -1 ; t - At.
, that while they had no official notice
that the duty would not be charged,
verbal assurances were given both by
the local members of parliament and
officials of the marine and fisheries de
partment that such a course would not
be adopted. They were highly indig
nant at the action of the government
The Bank Caved In.
Los Angeles, July 12. An accident
occurred this evening at the zanja No.
7 of the Los Angeles waterworks, just
beyond Ninth steret, whereby two men
lost their lives. David Scott and Da
vid Bheinspild were working at the
point desingated attempting to fill a
washout which had occurred in the
ditoh. . Above them was an embank
ment, under which they were excavat
ing, intending that it should fall and
close the break. Without warning, the
embankmennt gave way, burying the
men under tons of earth, The work of
rescue began at once, and in 12 minutee
the bodies were unearthed, but life war
extinct. '
Interne Suffering In St. Louis.
St. Louis, July 12. Seven people
died from heat on this, the 12th day of
insufferable heat. Two people, one of
them a New Orleans negress, were
driven insane, and six others have been
fatally sunstruck and will die before
morning. There have been numberless
prostrations in St. Louis. A. Smith,
the Brooklyn's catcher, and Grady, first
baseman of the St. Louis team, were
prostrated in the baoeball game today.

Expended by General Lee.
Washington, July 12. United States
Consul-General Lee has been rendering
some account to the government of hie
expenditures of the fund appropriated
by congress for the relief of destitute
American oitizens in Cuba. His fig
ures were presented to the oabinet to
day, and the showing was remarkable,
of it appeared that of the total of. $50,
000 at the disposal of the consul gener
al, he had expended only $6,000, and
yet had given substantial relief to even
distressed American whom he could find
ready to receive aid, and, besides, ha
shipped soma of them back hows.
THE STRIKE GROWING.
ileto Saatdawa In the Whaallaa
District.
Pittsburg, July 13. Nineteen, thous
and men in this district are idle.
There is an almost total supension ot
work in the mines along the Mononga
hela river. The suspension is radically
total on the Wheeling division of the
Baltimore 3t Ohio railroad, about five
men working there. All the mines
closed down today excepting theM. A.
Hanna & Company, along the Panhan
dle; the New York & Cleveland Gai
Coal Company, and a few individual
mines which can have but little effect
upon the situation.
The Hanna mines have about one
third of their usual number of men at
work. The coming out of the men
along the Baltimore & Ohio is a decid
ed viotory for the miners, because these
men are working under an ironolad
agreement, and by their loyalty to their
brethren forfeit $8,000 in wages which
the company holds out.
The situation as to the supply of coal
cannot be called serious as yet, because
there are from 13,000,000 to 15,000,000
bushels of black diamond in stock at
the various pools along the river which
can be placed in Pittsbura at short no
tice and, if need be, a portion of it
conld be shipped to the lakes.
Up to the present time, no sign of
lawlessness has developed among the
strikers and there is no evidence what
ever that there will be.
A careful review of the situation
proves the assertion of the mine offi
cials that the Wheeling division is sol
idly advocating the strike. Five cars
were loaded at the Germania mine yes
terday, but it was with coal which had
been lying on the dump since work was
suspended last week. There was a
doubt as to whether or not the Slavs
wonid return to work, but this has been
dispelled, and the foreigners seem as
enthusiastio as any on the strike ques
tion. It is said that Presiddent Gompers
will offer to raise a fund of f 60,000 per
week to assist the strikers in their
struggle.
The Number of Men Oat.
Columbus, O., July 12. The United
Mine workers' headquarters report that
from 125,000 to 130,000 miners are out
Florida Filibusters.
New York, July 13. A spoeial to
the Journal and Advertiser from Ha
vana says:
An expedition of Cuban filibusteri
from Florida is reported to have landed
on Sunday in Havana province at the
mouth of Jarnco bay. The Spanish
gunboat Reina Maria Christina, which
was cruising about the coast, en
deavored to intercept the expedition,
but without success.
When the oruiser arrived at the spot
and disembarked her marines, thev
were fired upon and driven to their
boats by a strong rebel foroe in ambush.
After a brief bombardment of the in
surgents' position the warship hurried
to Havana for reinforcements. When
she returned the filibusters had already
left with their munitions and supplies
for Castillo's headquarters in the Ta-
peate hills, olosely pursued by Fons-
devieW Spanish column, which had
marched overland from Minas to inter
cept their movements.
Dr. Augustine Clemente Betancourt,
an American citizen, after years of in
carceration as a military prisoner in
Pinar del Eio and in Cabanas castle as
a political suspect, has been liberated
and ordered to leave the island, no
proofs to substantiate the charges
against him having been found.
Manuel Fernidanez Cahuquielo, an
American citizen captured with the in
surgents near Jarnco, 12 months ago,
and since then confined in Cabanas for
tress, has been notified to prepare foi
an early trial.
Railroad Confiscate Coal.
Chicago, July 13. Railroad com
panies issued orders to confiscate all
coal being carried over their lines.
The order oamed confusion with its ex
ecution, and local coal companies, who
expected to receive special shipments
to meet the demand of the day, were
thrown on their own resources to over
come the difficulty. The price of com
mon soft coal jumped 40 cents a ton,
while soft screenings were rated at
just double their customary value.
Fully 15,000 carloads from the mines
in Southern Illinois were confiscated by
the railroad companies. The seizure is
made because of a recent supreme court
opinion, iCch says that in case of
strikes the road companies have the
ight to confiscate any coal on their
railroad property, regardless of the con
signee.

Destroyed by Fire. '
Leadville, July 12. The large plant
of the Big Four Mining Company was
destroyed by fire today, one miner los-
g his life. The mine is located about
three miles from the oity on Brsece
11, and is a complete wreck. Three
miners were at the 400-foot level and
James Gallagher was at the bottom,
1,400 feet below. The men called to

CUBANS IN MATANZAS.
t-oaf-Threateaed Iavaeloa ef That Fro,
lae Baa Begaa.
New York, July 13. A Herald dis
patch from Havana says:
The threatened invasion of Matansaa
province by the insurgents has begun.
Several large bodies of Cubans have
orossed the line from Santa Clara and
the strength ot the foroe engaged in the
westward movement is estimated from
4,000 to 6,000. La Crete and Herie, who
recently crossed the Jucaro and Moron
trocha and passed into Santa Clara from
Caraaguay, have united with other
leaders, and there are now five or six
chiefs, each with a considerable follow
ing, moving into Matanzas, where the
insurgent forces were ordered to mo
bilise. Men have been summoned
from the plantations around and ordered
westward.
Whether the movement was ordered
to embarrass General Weyler or to dis
tract attention from Gomes, who is
supposed to be hemmed in by Spanish
columns near Sanoti Spiritus, is not yet
clear, it may be both.
The purpose of the gathering in Ma
tansas is said to cover the landing of an
expedition which is due in that prov
ince, and which will furnish the com
bined forces with some additional arms
and cartridges and several rapid-fire
field guns. After receiving this expe
dition the programme mapped out by
General Gomez is for an advance across
Matanzas province, and if all goes well
a demonstration near the oity of Ha
vana itself.
Qniutin Banderas, who recently came
from the East with 1,600 men, and who
was in Melana del Sur two weeks ago,
has gone to Matanzas. The entire
force of rebels under Castillo in this
province is ready to join with those in
the eastern province. Duccasseand his
foroe of 2,500 to 8,000 men may come
from Pinar del Bio to take part In the
movement
General Calixo Garoiawill remain in
Santiago province, but praotioally all
the other leaders of prominence of the
insurgent Bide have been ordered to
meet in Matanzas.
Just what opposition the Spanish
troops will make to the movement is
not certain. The sudden activity in
the rebel ranks after the rain season
has well begun shows that they are able
to move, despite the muddy condition
of the roads, and frequent drenchings
which they must receive. Any forced
marches of large bodies of Spanish
troops to head off the rebel movement
must result in heavy losses from sick
ness, hardship and exposure.
Evacuation of Bayamo.
New York, July 13. A Herald
dis-
patoh from Havana says:
Captain-General Weyler has at last
decided it wise to evacuate Bayamo.
He. has already ordered the inhabitants
to betake themselves to Manillo, and has
asked the war department of Spain to
authorize, the withdrawal of troops and
the burning of the town. The expenses
of maintaining the garrison there have
always been very heavy and one which
the end gained did not justify.
Much sickness prevails. The insur
gents are looking out for the landing
of artillery along the coast of Matanzas.
The Spanish army has never been so
weakened by sickness before. An offi
cial estimate of the number of Spanish
loldiers in hospitals throughout the is
land is 2,500. Not long ago the Lu
chano battalion marched to the front
1,100 strong; today the battalion unm
hers 150 men.
Destructive Hall Storm.
New York, July 12. A World
patoh from Berlin says:
A Stuttgart dispatch received
brings the news of a destructive
dis-
here
hail
storm which raged for hours in South
ern Wurtemburg, causing the death of
13 persons and damage to crops amount
ing to more than 4,000,000 marks.
Such a meteorological phenomenon in
the hottest month of the year has nev
er been experienced before in this part
of the futherland.
Before the storm the weather was ex
tremely sultry. Gradually the clouds
began to darken, and within a few min
utes after there was a sudden darkness
followed by rushing torrents- of rain,
which almost submerged the villages.
The rain was followed by a terrific hail
storm, some of the hailstones being of
almost incredible size.
New Officials.
Olympia, July 12. At a meeting of
the state board of control today, a com
munication was read from Dr. Semple,
superintendent of the Eastern Washing
ton hospital for the insane, asking to be
relieved, as he wished to take a post
graduate courBe in nn Eastern medical
college. The board elected Dr. Wilson
Lockhart, of Spokane, to fill this va
cancy, and Dr. J. D. Maclean, of Spo
kane, his first assistant physician. Dr.
Lockhart will take charge ol the Medical
Lake hospital July 20. and Dr. Mac
lean's term of office will begin Septem

Cincinnati, July 12. The number of

ber of deaths in the last seven days

Durrant Was Not Hanged.
San Francisco, July 12. The re
prieve granted Theodore Durrant by
Governor Budd expires today, but the
murderer of Blanche Lamont and Min
nie Williams is in no danger of hang
ing. It does not matter whether Gov
ernor Budd grants a further reprieve or
not, as the granting of an appeal by the
United States circuit court to the Unit
ed States supreme court takes all power
from the state officials until the high
est federal court renders a decision in
the case.
The Dam Gave Way.
Denver, Colo., July 12. News
reached here tonight of a disastrous
flood, oaused by the breaking of a dam
near Jefferson, by which two lives are
known to have been lost and property
estimated at from $50,000 to $100,000
destroyed. Details of the affair are
meager, as the place is off the railway
and the telephone connection is broken.

Wilt la a Grave.
Almost a parallel to the Jacob Z. Da
vis will discovery tarns up in Indiana,
tor after lying in a man's coffin tor
nearly 30 years, a will has been ex
humed at Leavenworth, in that stato,
and its terms are liable to increase a
troublesome litigation among the heirs
of the man who had the document bur
ied with hini.
Jacob Kissingen was the man. The
will was found by accident, because
when Kissingen died, although the will
was believed to have been made, no
body could, find it,. So the heirs went
to law and have boon at it for throe
decades.
A few days ago a dispute arose which
could be cleared up by the family Bi
ble. So the old grave was opened and
the book taken out. It was in a good
Btate of preservation, and, when
opened, to the surprise of everyone, dis
closed the old man's will.
By the terms of the document found
in the grave the property of Kissingen
was divided equally among live chil
dren, one of them a resident of Ger
many, and born of Kissiugen'a first
wife. And this is whore the new trou
ble begins. None of the four American
heirs ever heard of the father's first
marriage, and not one of them guessed
that he had a brother in Europe.
The German heir, of course, has
been in ignorance,- too, of the exist
ence of his American brothers, and the
property and money bequeathed to him
If he presses his claim now, it is said
that the four brothers who live here
will have quite a hole in their purses
when they pay him what is his by his
father's will.
Ice-Breaking Ships.
Vice-Admiral Makarow, of the Rus
sian navy, has been studying the con
struct ion and use of powerful ice-break
ing ships. At a recent meeting of the
Imperial Geographical Sooiety at St.
Petersburg he expressed the beilef
that with two such Bhlps, each of
10,000 horsepower, acting together,
line of free water communication could
be kept tipen in winter to the port of
St Petersburg, and he added that they
could even force their way through the
glacial ocean if the thickness of the ice
did not exceed 13 feet.
Hone Power of Lightning.
A recent thunder storm in the neigh

according to the statement whiofh they
have published, the power of a flash of
lightning is on an average equivalent
to 7,000 horsepower.

A GASOLINE HOISTINt ENGINE.
It Doe the Work of the Steam Englae
Batter aad With t.esa Cost.
The use of gas and gasoline engines
in mines and for all power purposes is
very much on the increase. New uses
for them are being found every day.
They are being used quite extensively
for pumping, for hoisting, and tor other
work in mining. Mr. V. F. Patrick
has an article in a recent number of the
New York Engineering and Mining
Journal giving experience with a gaso
line hoisting engine at the Southern
Eureka mines in Utah. Mr. Patrick
says:
"We have had the engine in use for
some time, and have found it highly
satisfactory and in the highest degree
economical. We are engaged in sink
ing, ami of onurse only hoisting inter
mittently. Our engine is rated at 25
horsepower, and hoists a load of 1,100
pounds from a depth of 275 feet in 45
seconds. Our consumption of gasoline
has averaged only 0.7 gallons per hour.
The amount of water used in cooling
the cylinders is very small, as large
galvanized iron cooling tanks are pro
vided with the engine, and only enough
water is required to replenish what is
lost by evaporation. In many of our
Western mining districts water for a
steam plant would cost as much or more
than the fuel.
"The engine is provi('i with eleo
trie and torch igniters, both ot which
work very satisfactorily. One man
can, by means of the self-starter, easily
start the engine alone; after starting It
requires no attention, except to see that
the oil cups are feeding properly.
"By means of the operating levers
near the shaft, one man can hoist,
dump the buckets, run out the waste,
A Htnultt Haitling Engine.
and in such work as ours, or at small
mines, have time to do the tool sharp
ening and timber framing.
"The machinery is noiseless and
safe. The gasoline tank is placed out
side the engine loom, underground, and
below the level of the engine bed, and
the gasoline is drawn up as needed by
a small pump placed on one side of the
engine. This arrangement prevents all
possibility of an explosion. In fuot, I
consider it safer and more eoonomioal
than steam, and when the hoisting is
done, it can he shut down and there is
absolutely no consumption of fuel and
no possible danger of explosion."
The illustration given herewith
shows a type of engine very much in
use in mines throughout California,
Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, Mexico, Utah,
Montana, Nevada, etc. It is bulit by
the Heronles Gas Engine Works, of San
Francisco, In all sizes, from two to two
hundred horsepower. The engines are
built extra heavy, the hoisting drum
being the same base as the engine, and
geared direct. The levers operating
the hoist are positive in action, and are
within easy control of the operator.
Auout tnree thousand ol tnese engines
are in use - in different parts of the
country, and in- every instance have
demonstrated their superiority over
any other power for the purpose used
They are also made to burn distillate
oil, whioh reduces the fuel cost very
materially, and where water and fuel
are scarce, the saving in these items
quite often enables the property to be
worked where otherwise the expense at
tendant upon operating a steam engine
would preclude it.

D'Aumale's Three Wills.
So rich was the Due d'Aumalo that
he had to make three wills to properly

wealth deposited in England, possibly
from motives of precaution.
