New York, Nov. 8. A dispatch to
the Herald- from Havana says: The
insurgent troops in the field are very
active. On' October 80 the Spaniard!
mstained the most severe loss they
have met for some time. On the bord
ers of Matanzas province General Mo
lina was defeated by the insurgents un
der General Betanconrt. General Mo
lina was on his way to Havana with a
brigade of troops to participate in
Blanco's reception. At Agnacate he
heard the rebels were encamped in
Purgatory hills, and broke his march tc
attack them. The fight was a long
one, and the Spanish loss was large, j

In Pinar del Rio province the rebels
under command of Captain Lorr at-j
tacked a convoy that left San Cayetano
and captured large supply of clothing
and ammunition. j
A report apparently well-founded, is
current in Havana to the effect that
Holguin - has been captured by rebels
under Gen real Cebreco. That it has j
been attacked, and that TS Spaniards
were killed is admitted, but the capture .
is denied.
General Luque with heavy reinforoe-,
mentt left Havana yesterday for Hoi-.
guin.
In a book on the Cuban war just pub
lished here, General Weyler writes the
introduction. In one places he says:
"The system of warfare carried on by
me during this campaign is not a new
one. It is the same as that pursued
by the Americans of the North when
they fought their brethren of the
South."
A million - dollars in paper currency
has mysteriously disappeared from the
treasury here. The money was intend
ed for the payment of the navy, and the
troops. This fact, conpled with an at
tempt to deprive the army and navy of
their pay for the months of April, May
and June is causing great indignation.
RELEASED FROM MORO CASTLE.
Two Sur-lvora of Macao's Original Kx-
. pedltion Set Free.
New York, Nov. 8. The Journal
ays: Of the 43 persons who landed
with General Maceo near Baracoa,
nearly two and a half years ago only
three survive. The others, including
Maceo, have perished on the battlefield,
or in hospitals in Cuba. Two of the
survivors are young Americans, Frank
Agramonte and Julio Sainz. Word
has been received in this city that
through the efforts of Dr. Pulaski
Hyatt, United States consul at Santi
ago, they have been released from Moro
castle, and will Bail for New York next
Saturday.
Agramont is the son of Professor
Emilio Agramonte, of this city. His
family is one of means, so that tBe
burden of his imprisonment has been
lightened through their efforts.
Sains is an orphan and Dr. Hyatt
his provided him with food and com
forts out of the $50,000 fund appro
. printed .by congress for the relief of
Americana in Cuba.
The young men, both about 24 years
of age, sailed with Maoeo. The party
was intercepted near Baracoa. In the
skirmish 10 soldiers and a Spanish
officer were killed. Agramonte and
Sainawere separated from their com
panions and were captured a few days
later. ..--.: t
Owing to the death of the officer,
the affair assumed a serious aspect.
The boys aeked help from Mr. Hyatt
and their youth appealed to him and
he saved them from being shot. They
were imprisoned in Moro castle. For
two years and a half the boys have been
Inmates of the prison. The governor
of the prison allowed any article with
Hyatt's stamp to be given them.
Just before General Weyler left foi
Spain Hyatt wrote to him, recalling a
promise to release the boys. Now
news comes that the release of the
' young men was among the last official
acts of the genreal. The boys hav
sent word that they will sail for New
York on the Niagara.

A KNIFE FOR MORAES.
AtUmpWd Assassination of tha Frail
dent of Braill.
New York, Nov. 8. The Herald's
correspondent in Bio Janeiro telegraphs
that an attempt has been made toaseas
sinate the president of Brazil, Dr.
rrudente Jose de Moraes. The presi
dent's brother, an army officer, was
probably mortally wounded while
shielding the chief executive. General
Betancourt, minister of war, who was
one of the president s party, was shot
and killed.
Mo Janeiro is now under martial
law, every soldier having been ordered
to arms, and it is feared another revo
hit ion is at hand.
The attempt to kill the president,
and the killing of the minister of war,
it is believed, is the work of monarohial
sympathizers. Another rumor is that
they were the result of the feeling
aroused by the proposed arbitration
treaty with France.
Wild excitement prevails in the city,
Startling rumors are heard on all sides.
The belief is general in certain classes
that the followers of Antonio Conseil
heiro, the leader of the fanatical move
ment, who was recently killed in
i CanudoB, have invaded Rio to strike
, . i i
! their first blow for revenge.
. , . ,
It was the day set apart by President
Moraes and his cabinet to do honor to
Rrear-Adiniral Barbosa, one of the con
querors of Conseilheiro's friends in
Canudos. Admiral Barbosa was one of
the chiefs of the Brazilian troops who
several weeks ago hacked and shot down
thousands of the followers of the fierce
Conseilheiro, who had gathered hi
forces in Canudos.
It was believed then that the crush
I ing defeat of the fanatics there and the
' death of Conseilheiro had put an end to
I Brazil's monarchial enemies.
Thousands of persons gathered to see
I President Moraes and his cabinet extend
I publicly the thanks of the republic to
I Barbosa and his troops, just returning
i on the steamer Canudos. Many mem-
! bers of congress and persons high in
naval, military and ecclesiastical circles
were present, as were also the diplo
matic representatives of several foreign
countries.
The victorious troops were passing in
review before President Moraes, when
a soldier dashed out of the naval arsenal
toward the president's party, drawing
dagger as he went
Fearing his intention, and unable to
stop the soldier. Colonel Moraes, brother
of the president, stepped between the
executive and his assailant, and tried
to ward off the dagger thrust In this
he was successful, but the colonel re
ceived the dagger in his own body, the
soldier in his frenzy Striking several
times before he was seized by those in
the rear. The troops were thrown into
a line in front of the president's party
and tried to force the crowd back,
While President Moraes and the
members of his cabinet were bending
over the body of Colonel Moraes, a shot
was heard and General Betancourt, the
minister of war, staggered and fell be
hind the body of Colonel Moraes, with
a bullet in his head.
This added to the excitement of the
crowd, which was, by this time, wildly
surging to and fro, the troops using
their bayonets to keep it back, and
those behind pressing forward.
iinally, fearing another attempt to
kill the president and the members of
his cabinet, more troops were called,
and a strong guard was formed around
the official party. Then Colonel
Moraes and General Betancourt were
lifted and borne to the palace. Colonel
Moraes was seriously, probably mortally
wounded.
General Betancourt died a few min
utes after he was taken into the palace,
In the meantime, fearing an attack on
the palace, President Moraes ordered
that the crowd be dispersed, and the
troops finally succeeded in doing so,
though a serious conflict at one time
seemed imminent, owing to an attempt
to lynch the president s assailant,
The news of the affair spread with
remarkable rapidity, and within 10
minutes the city was in a fever of ex
citement. Rumors of a revolution were
rife on all sides, and there seemed good
reason to fear an uprising.
In order to avoid a possibility of this,
orders were issued from the palace
calling all the troops in the city to arms
and declaring the city under martial
law.
The soldier who tried to kill Presi
dent Moraes is under arrest. He be
longs to the Tenth battalion. He re
fused to give any reason for his attempt.
The person who shot General Betan
court is unknown. No one knows
whence came the fatal bullet,
The citizens generally attribute the
deed to revenge on the part of Conseil
heiro's followers. Some well-informed
men have brought up the theory that
tne attempt on the president's life grew
out of the DroDosed arbitration troatv
with France on the Ampapo question.
... ' . "t' i
lhis treaty the president vigorously
upheld, despite tremendous opposition
in congress and among the people,

Killed by His Pupils.
Sedalia, Mo?, .Nov. 8. James Allen,
a teacher in a school at Wheatland,
Hickory county, was beaten to death
yesterday by his pupils. As a punish
ment for misconduct, Mr. Allen kept
several hoys after school was dismissed
last night. When released, the youths
went away' angry, and later, as the
schoolmaste. was on his way home,
they waylaid him, pelting him with
stones and - clubs. Mr. Allen was
knocked down and his skull crushed.
He did not regain consciousness, and
died this morning. The youths have
been arrested.
COUNTRY IT WILL TAP.
More About the Proposed Mew Railroad
In Washington.
Taooma, Nov. 8. Colonel William
Bailey, of New Xork, who bought the
Taooma & Lake Park railroad at auc
tion several days ago, will extend the
luvwroiui A11B wanes on we jo
luiuuia river. 1 lie name of the roauiia maninnlatnl
has been changed to the Taooma &
Columbia River railway. The road ia
of standard gauge, and now extends
from Taeonia to Luke Park. It is in
tended to prosecute the work steadily
all winter, and until the line is com
pleted. A branch line will eventually
be built to Mount Rainier. The exact
route of the extension has not been
made public
To the Columbia River.
The Dalles, Or., Nov. 8. The Ta
ooma & Columbia River railroad is the
name of the new company that will
operate a freight and passenger litie
between Taooma and The Dalles. Col
onel William Bailey, of New York, is
at the head of the company, the prin
cipal portion of the stock being sub
scribed by New York capitalists.
When it was known that Colonel
Bailey was the purchaser of the Lake
Park road, a couple of weeks ago, it
was said that the road would probably
be extended to the rich mineral tracts
abou tEatouville and Mount Ranier,
but no one dreamed that the extension
would be carried as far as the Coluin
bia river. I
It now transpires, though, that ac-!
tive operations will be commenced al
most immediately, and pushed with
vigor until the two cities are connected.
It is hoped to tap a section of country
that is as yet practically unknown, but
which is thought to be exceedingly
rioh in timber, minerals and fertility.
The road will go by way of Eatonville,
Nisqually, Tilton river coal fields and
on across the Cascades to The Dalles.
Negotiations are nearly completed for
terminal facilities that will be conveni
ent to all shippers.
lacoma will be the operative head-
quarters of the new road, the head1
office being at 60 Broadway, New York.
A irieglit and nassencer office ha?
been opened in Taooma. The first
work will consist in straightening out
the old Lake park road and getting
the roadbed in shape.

D.u..- xub saving crew dragged
the lake for the body, but was unable

The Klelhoff Horror.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 8. Farther
details have been reoeived of the ter

tober 26 last in the village church at
Klelhoff, when an alarm of fire was
raised and a panic ensued, resulting in
the death of 74 persons and the severe
injury of 160 others. It appears that
the alarm of fire was due to the light
ing of candles at the moment when the
windows were opened to allow the va
por to escape from the packed and
steaming congregation. Among the vie
tims fatally Injured were 15 pregnant
women.
WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Wines i ol Downing, flunklm A Co., Chicago
'.raue nroKers.7U-iUrhainberoH.uui
u-ri- Duiiuiug, rortiaml, Oregon.
In describing the local conditions of
the Chicago wheat market for Decern
ber delivery it is simply a matter of
- ; opinion whether to assert the market
or not. The latter
supposition is the more reasonable.
Stocks of contract wheat have been ex
h uisted by the unprecedented expr
and interior demand. High values ob
taming liave induced speculative bIioi
sales, with the resulting condition of
constantly oversold and congested mar
ket Granting all of which to be true
the general conditions which ordin.iri
control values are so extremely favor
able to high prices that it is a matte
of great doubt as to whether specul
lion nas played any important part in
advancing and maintaining values,
fcxport clearances of wheat and flour
for the week have been large. The ex
lort uemnnu continues urgent am
promises to increase rather than d
niinisli. btocks at market centers
show but a small increase for the season
compared with previous years, al
though the forward movement of tli
crop has been unusually largo. Receipts
at primary points are beginning to fall
off, and it is becoming more and more
apparent that the spring crop of the
JNortnwest nas been over-estimated
The continued drought assures only
moderate acreage seeded to winter
wheat, and that under favorable condi
tions. Crop advices from Argentine
continue conflicting and contradictory
Advices from Australia assert that
their crop will be below an average anc
give no surplus for export France
continues to buy wheat freely. From
all reports, public and private, it is
certainly inai European stocfes are tin
usuauy small and European require
ments abnormally largo. The prospect
for the immediate future seems to fully
warrant present values for wheat, an
should any disaster overtake the Argon
tine orop it is probable that they will
be fully maintained if not materially
advanced during the balance of our croji
year.
The situation regarding corn values
shows a decided improvement during
tne week, although still possessing ele
ments of radical weakness. Stocks, a
ready larger than ever before recorded
show no immediate signs of decreasing.
Un tne other hand, the cash demand
both for home consumption and ex
port, shows a gratifying increase. Val
ues are now 15 cents per bushel below
an average for the last ten years, and
the new crop ia certainly below an av
erage in yield. There is little to war
rant a decline in supplies.

REPORT OF CRUCIFIXION.
Story That It Was Found lu the Vatican
Deiilml.
New York, Nov. 8. A dispatch to
the World from Rome says: The World
correspondent visited tho Vatican to ob
tain authoritative information regard
ing tho reported finding in the Vatican
archives of Pontius Pilate s report to
Emperor Tiberius of the crucifixion of
Christ. One story current was that
the originul report had been found,
and that the pope had ordtrred a careful
study of it. Another was that the
document discovered was not Pilate's
report, but a manuscript of A. D. 149,
referring to tt, with other fragmentary
writings of the third and fifth con
tunes, touching the same matter,
which have come to light before.
The correspondent found the Vatican
authorities very reticent. Some of the
officials were even chary of admitting
that anything had been discovered at
all, and were extremely apprehensive
lest they might be repesonted as isivinir
color to an expectation that contempor
ary accounts of the most solemn event
in the world's history are in existence.
ine suuKeeperor tne Vatican archives
said:
"His holiness naturally is extremely
cautious about permitting the publica
tion of any document with the imprint
oi the lioly Bee the authenticity of
which may afterwards bo reasonably
contested. II is holiness-has been pro
foundly interested in the possibilty of
tho discovery of the original document
referred to, the one dated 149, but so
far search has been fruitless.'"
The correspondent gathered that the
manuscript of A. D. 149 only refers
to the earlier report, and contains no
details of any value, and that a care
ful, exhaustive search for the originul
is now being made in the Vatican by
experts socially commissioned by the
holy father, who are also to search for
eference to it in documents written
earlier than A. D. 149,
The first indication of the possibility
of theexistene of this document was ob
tained accidentally by an erudite monk
engaged in looking through the archives
of the fifth century and gathering facts
concerning the early history of the pap
acy, lie followed the clew back to
manuscripts of the third century and
then again laboriously pursued his task
until further allusion was found in tho
document of A. D. 149. There the in
vestigation is brought to a standstill
for the present, and the pope has given
strict injunctions that no translation
or references in the documents shall be
published until submitted for his sanc
tion.
The attitude of the Vatican authori
ties on the matter is one of skepticism
as to the likelihood of any original au
thentic information being unearthed.
THE OHIO ELECTION.
Republicans Have the Legislature as
the Count Stands.
Columbus, O., Nov. 8. The Ohio
egiBlature stands 74 Republicans, 70
Democrats and one doubtful on the
official returns received up to tonight,
with a dozen or more of the 88 counties
very close.
There have been no material changes
except in Wood county, which will bo
claimed by both parties until the
courts pass on the action of the super
visors. There have been no unusual
proceedings before the returning boards
of any of the counties, except that of
Wood, although both parties have had
their representatives and attorneys in
the county seats, wherever the voto
was close.
Chairman McConville, of the Demo
cratic state committee, has not changed
his claims of a Domocratio majority on
joint ballot, and will not do so until
the official returns of nil counties are in
and show the final result to differ from
the figures he has at hand.
Chairman McConville and others
from tho Democratic state headquarters
went to Cincinnati to confer with John
R. McLean and other party leaders re
garding the contests that are to be made
in the close counties.
Chairman Nash insists tonight that
the legislature stands 75 Republicans to
70 Democrats, and that the majority on
joint ballot for senator will not be less
than five. Ho says he is tonight satis
fied with tho situation in Wood county.
What he feared was that the official
count might wipe out the small Repub
lican plurality in that county. Since
the official tally sheets show a plurality
of 31 for the Republican representative,
judgo JNash says he is willing and
ready to have the court pass on the case.
Ho says the law provides that the mem
bers of the boads of eleotion cannot go
behind the returns, and the supreme
court has held that they nave no minis
terial powers whatever and cannot hear
evidence or use their discretion in
throwing out votes. That is left to the
courts, and to each branoh of the legis
lature in passing on the credentials of
its members.

A SEN9ATIOK.

WHY SO MANY EEGULAK
PHYSICIANS FAIL
To Our Female) Bit Bom Tmsj
Reasons Why Mr. Ptnkhsun
la Mora Buooeaaful Than
the Faoolly Dootora.
A woman Is sick; some disease pom
liar to hur sex la fast dovoloptaff la her
system. Bhe goes to hur family physl
clan and toll him a story, but not Ik
whole story.
8he holds somrthlnif back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifies the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctor falls to oure the dispone? Htlll,
we cannot blame the woman, for It Is
very embarrassing' to detail some of
the symptoms of her suffering, even to
her family physician.
It waa far this reason that years
ago Mrs. PUtkham, at Lynn, Mass.,
determined to step in aud help her
aex. Having had considerable ex
perience la treating female Ills with
her Vegetable Compound, she encour
aged the women of America to write
to her for advice In rrjard to their
complaints, and, bclug a woman, It
was easy for her ailing sisters to pour
Into her cars every detail of their suf
fering. Over one hundred thousand
women were successfully treated by
Mrs. I'lnkkam last year. Such are tha
grand results of her expcrlenoa.
There are 71,000 more women than
men in tho state of MuwmehiiHctU, and
this excoss is all in persons over 14.
