It is not true the czar told Prince yon Radolin, the German ambassador, that he entirely concurred in tho views and aims of Emperor William, nor that Ihe czar added that the German emperor could Grmly rely upon his support and the support ol states friendly to Russia, namely France uud the United States.

A local pa;r says: Intelligence has been received by a prominent member of the Cuban party iu New York of the arrival of an import ant auxiliary to the insurgent forces. Reports have already been published stating that n filibustering expedition under Garcia has been lauded near Havana. A party cuntiatiug of 40 men uuder the leadership of Alfredo Laborde has landed at iUtalwna, on the west coast of the island, within a short distance of Hav ana. Ihe party is well e-iuiped. Gomez and Macco are hoveriog in the vicinity with upward of 4000 troops. Ever since the revolution broke out last February the rebel leader Del Ganlo, with 400 men, has been under arms at Batabauo, This party will bo joined by the new arrivals, and the combined force will join the main aricy.

Havana, Jan 14 At noon today con tinned artillery firing was heard south of Rincon, not far from Uejucal. The town was attacked by insnrgeu's yesterday, but they were forced to retreat after a battle lasting, it is claimed, five hours, but, it is admitted that the insurgents plundered stores in tho outlying streets of Bejucal, burned many houses and de stroyed the railroad depot. Previously they bad burned the town of Salud, and partly destroyed Quivican. They burned freight trains and destroyed everything as they proceeded northward toward Ha vana. This forre of insurgents is the one sup posed to bo commanded by Gomez, al though it has been insisted upon that he is still in the province of Pinar del Rio, and was iu conflict with Spanish troops commanded by Gencnl Ltnarez. It is belioved an important engagement is tub ing place. Compos' Mental Condition. Chicago, Jan. 14. A special from Boston says : startling information lias been re ceived from Havana by n prominent Cuban tobacco dealer, here, whose inter ests fn the island forbid us ins his name. "There is a general opinion," says the letter, "both among" insurgents, and Spaniards, that General Campos has become demented. His actions, not only in the direction of the campaign hut his private and ordinary doings aro such as to give good grounds for thia lief. 'Gomez has no idea of attacking Ha vana, but his plan is to cut off tho city's supplies. There is no doubt that fully nan 01 me citizens anu populace are Cuban sympathizers. "The Americans are thoroughly de tested by the Spaniards. The situation is serious. A great deal of American property has been destroyed, and terri ble ntrocities will bo committed upon Americans. The United Slates needs a warship or two in Havana harbor." The Red Cross. Chicago, Jan. 14. Mrs. E. G.

Northway replied to criticism offered by Bartlett .yesterday. It mattered not to bin whether the pensions w ro legal gratuities or constituted vested rights. .Morally they were higher than vested rights could be. Pensions should be given in a broad, Catholic, humane spirit, and the veterans should not bo placed in the position of mendicants. The spirit in which the pension laws were being administered was manifestly unfriendly to the soldiers. Iu proof of this be cited the caEe of a soldier who lost ono arm and ono leg, and who was deprived of hi pension under the total disability act of 1890, because he was able to earn $23 a month as izuard at a railroad crossing. Robbery In Pendleton. Pendleton, Jan. 13. A masked man ntercd the postoffice this evening at 7 'clock by Ihe front entrance, knocked on the door leading inside of the office. ostmaster J. F. Johnson was there alone and opened the door. The man presented a pistol after quickly pulling down from under his hat a mask and false whiskers. He then compelled the postmaster to open the safe and deliver $fi00. The postmaster is a powerful man, and followed the robber to the rear door and there grappled with him. They stiuggled until the pistol of the robber was discharged through the postmasters hand, causing him to weaken his grip. He then escaped into the darkness. Postmaster Johnson thinks he knows the robber, but so far no clue has been found by the officers. 1'enuleton, Or. Jan. 14. Sheriff Houser has arrested F. .-.

It is nota Bubject pleasant to contemplate, but like many others of a like unpleas ant nature, it furnishes a useful lesson for evil inclined persons, as well as a theme for moralists to descant upon, a subject for legislators to contemplate and jurists to consider. The first murder in the county oc curred June G, 1853, when Joseph Knott killed, premeditately and with malice aforethought, Riley Hill. The 2d waa on December 25, 1800, when John Fitzhugh, Solomon Culver, Robert Forbes, Abraham Crow and John Han nan killed D. F. Barringer, at Cleveland, in a row at a dance. John Fitzhugh and John Hannan were found cuillv of homicide and sentenced each to one year in the penitentiary. The other three were set at liberty. The 3d cae was that of Matbiaa Helringcr, who killed Lewis Jones, Sep tember 14, 1877. Helringer was tried and acquitted as a justifiable homicide. The 4th was by one Wm. Skelton, who killed Joshua Brown near Canyonville, May 17, 1878. Skelton was sentenced to the penitentiary for life but was par doned. The 5th was iu July, 1878, hen Jack Woodward and John Daly killed each other in Roseburg. The Cth was October 10, 1SS0, when James Pool killed James McNeil on the South Umpqua river. Pool fll and was not found for several years. He wa3 finally arrested anu put on trial, was convicted ol manslaughter and sent up for tkree years. The 7th was May 13, 1SS2, when L. C. Hill killed Caleb Young at Myrtle Creek. Hill was acquitted. The bth waa August 13, 1882, when T. S. Roadman killed A. J. Downen on the streets of Roseburg. Roadman was acquitted. The 9th was April 18, 1SS3, when James Beckley killed Henrv C. Levins at Kellogz. Becklev was acquitted. The 10th was July 20, 1SS3, when Wm. Eddings killed Wm. P. Thomason at Canyonville. Eddings was tried and sent to the penitentiary for life, but was pardoned out by Gov. Pennoyer. The 11 tli was May 12, 1SS4, when Joseph Russell killed Jesse Quine near Riddle. Russell was sentenced to the pen for seven years and served his time The 12th was November 14, 1SS3, when James F. Levens killed his son, Thomas F. Levins, at Kellogg. He was acquitted. The 13th was Aug. S, 1SS9, when L. Puckett killed John Catching at Can yonville. Puckettfled the county and has never been caught. The 14th was March 17, 1S92, when Nicholas Jones killed Abraham Hans- brough in Roseburg. He was sentenced to the pen for life, but was pardoned out by Gov. Pennover. The 15th was Arthur Wright, a boy alxmt 14 years old, who killed Chester Pogu,e another boy, near Riddle, April 13, 1S92. He was sent to the Reform School. The 16th was C. Judy who killed Charles Hendig at Loon Lake Septem ber 26, 1S93, and sentenced to the pen for life. The 17th was Julv 26, 1S94, when Thos. McKay, a boy of 14 years, killed James Longtai, a half breed Indian in Cole3 Valley, for which McKay was sent to the reform school. The ISth was Aug. 13, 1S94, when Samuel G. Brown killed Wm. Albert Kincaid at Oakland, was triexl, found guilty and sentenced to be hung Febru ary 15, 1S95, the first verdict of murder in the first degree ever rendered in this county. Brown appealed to the su preme court for a new trial. During the pendency of the appeal Brown es caped last May, and was recaptuied and lodged iu jail only a few days after his escape. The supreme court affirmed the sentence of the lower court, and Judge Fullerton resentenced him to be hung on the 31st day of January 1S96, On the 30 day of December Brown again broke jail by sawing off the bars of one of the grates and escaped, and is still at large. Thus of all the murderers or killings in this county, the gallows has not claimed a victim yet. The 10th was Sept. 10, 1854, when Wm. F. Beckman killed his wife, Helena Beckmau, and her son, Robert Ring, on Oak creek. Beckman was convicted of murder in the second degree and sen tenced for life to the penitentiary. The 20th was Oct.
