Washington, April l'J, Govornor McKinley has written to some of his Oregon friends in Washington that tho result of tho Oregon 'convention was es pecially gratifying to him, not only be came tho delegates were elected for him, but becauso it starts' the ball tolling on tho Pacific coast, aud because the in Quencu which it will have upon the other conventions to bo held on the coast will no doubt be in tho samo direction. Gov ernor McKinley has no warmer sup- portsra in congress than are to be found in the Oregon delegation. In spite of the senatorial sentiment, which is al most wholly for Allison, tho Oregon sen ators are for the Ohio man with un doubted loyalty. And in the house, where the sentiment is no doubt very strong for Heed, tho Oregon repre sentatives are most favorably inclined toward Major McKinley. The information which reaches Wash ington is that tho rest of tho ccjst will no doubt follow tho lead of Oregon and send McKinley delegations. In Wash ington, it is stated here, the sentiment is about equally divided between Allison, Reed and McKinley, andanuninstructed delegation will be cent from that state to vote for the choice of the convention. As for California, even Senator Perkins, who dees not coucaal his preference for Allison, is inclined to believe that Mc Kinley will have at least seven-eights of the delegates. Senator Mitchell expresses his entire satisfaction with the platform adopted at the Oregon state convention. lie fays either the platform of the Minneapolis convention or the platform of the Ohio contention would suit him as to the financial plank. lie says that he has no doubt but that tho republicans of Oregon will easily be victorious on the platform adopted. Home Rule For Cuba. Washington, April 20. The Spanish government within a few weeks will put into execution a comprehensive system of home rnlc or autonomy for Cuba. There is good leason to believe that the state department has received from Mad rid information to this effect. The law which will be put into effect was signed by the .queen. rcgenUIarch Id, 1S05, and will lw followed np by the rales and regulations dcveloini; the present scheme of reforms. By the time the queen resent makes her ad dress to the Spanish cortes, which as sembles in one month, the law will promulgated throughout Cuba, and the long-expected home rule will he rea!- ized. The element of homo rule ia secured by the establishment of two local bodies drawn larcclv, if not entirely, from the residents of Cuba. One of these is to lc known as the provincial chamber of deputies, the other as the council of ad ministration. The latter has appellate jurisdiction over the former. Large powers are granted tho council of ad ministration in the internal manage ment of public affairs, but the governor will continue as the supreme represent ative of Spain, and will have direct charge of military, naval and interna tional questions. Move by flatabeles. Buluwayo, April 19. So far as the situation is improved hero oyer that of yesterday, it is due to tho departure ot the enemy, which has been massed to the north of the town for several days, and from where an attack has been al most hourly expected. This movement, however, brings little comfort to those in Buluwayo. The excited manner in which the natives quitted their positions indicated a confident purpose of mis chiel. Their is no evidence that they were alarmed Friday at the demonstra tion of tho patrol of 24 men from Bulu wayo upon their vanguard. Although this vanguard was driven back upon the main body, the patrol did not dare to place itself within the reach of the over whelming numbers of the main body. The direction taken by this great bedy of hostile natives, after quitting tho posi tion to tho north, has not been learned. But it is feared the purposo of the move ment is to try to effect a junction with the rebels in the Matoppo hills, and thus sever communication to the southward Tho road runs through the Matoppo hills to tho south of Buluwayo, and is a dilli- cnlt and dangerous one for 50 miles from hero, at which dietance the road reaches the Mancwo pass. This angular and precipitous defile, it is felt, must be held It is of such a character that it can be mado impregnable against the attacks of nativo warriors. But for tho samo rea son. if allowed to get into the hands of the nntives it would bo extremely difli cult, and perhaps impossible, to dislodge them with any forco at present availa ble. To leave this pass to tho enemy would effectually cut oil the intercourse of Buluwayo with the outside world. To hold the pass and to patrol the road be tween it and Buluwayo, measures which nre felt to bo imperatively ueccssary for tho safety of this place, requires a largo proportion of tho availablo- forco, less than a thousand men, in Buluwayo, The threatened movement of the enemy upon tho huo ol communication perplexes the authorities with the prob lem of how far they can further denude Buluwayo of its fighting forco to guard ' the road.

FRIENDS OF HF.RMANN TALK. Universal Regret at Washington Over His Defeat. Washington, April 8. News of the defeat of Congressman Hermann of Ore gon for renomination was received today with universal regret. Congressman Ilitt, chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, said today: "I sat next to Mr. Hermann for six years and I look upon him as one of the most faithful men in the house. Ho has accomplished more for his state in tlio way of appro priations than any man who ever sat in coagress. uis defeat is one ot those political phenomena which mortal man can't comprehend." Delegato Murphy of Arizona inclines to the belief that some evil influence has been at work in Oregon to blind the people against their best interest. "Mr, Herirauu ia tho wonder of tho lower house and has been ever since he took his seat," said Murphy. "If all the ap propriations he haB secured for Oregon were summed up they would equal al uiofct one-half of the total value of the state. Every state and territory on tho Pacific coast will suffer by the loss of Hermann from Congress." Congressman Barharu received the neve as ho would the death ot a close friend. Said he: '.'Such idiocy aa has been displayed by the Oregon republi cans passes all undere'attding. Oregon can send no man to till the place as Hermann has filled it, and as for the Pacific coast in general, it could have better lost any half dozen of its congress men than Hermann." Tiicse sentiments are shared by all of the California delegation. It was largely to his efforts that California got what sho did on the river and barber bill just reported. Nor dj the Californians for get the helping hand -Ahich he invaria bly extended to them in all their fights in previous years. If Hermann had had any doubts as to his popularity they would have been dispelled today. He was kept busy hearing regrets which came from representatives from every part of the coantry. VROSEBURG'SSHAflE. The Review oi Monday makes a vil lunou3 attack upon inemiers of the Bap tist church by charging them with fos tering pugilistic entertainments, such as was given at the armory last Saturday night ; and in aiding the growth "of A. P. Aism. in Roseburg and turning the city over to this secret society by elect ing officers who are in full sympathy with lawless exhibitions, as that of Sat urday night." Such u an attack upen Baptists and other churches a3 well, in this city. When the fact is the greater portion of those who atten-led the spar ring match at the armory were anti A. P. A. members of the Review's party, and i: is also an attack upon the wives, daughters aud sisters of these anti-A. P. A. men who witnessed that "Roseburg Shame," which, the Iteview tries to make it appear, is the result ot A. P. A. teaching, when in fact it has nothing to do with it in any way whatever. It is also a fact that the Christians of Rose burg of all denominations are opposed to such exhibitions, and so decreed in a set of resolutions at the Baptist church that evening, knowing that it was then goin on. The Review has got the A. P. A. rabies aud got them bad, and to please its political bosses condescends to accusa the members of the city churches with fostering a "Roseburg Shame." Faust. This classic etorv in dramatic form wast- produced at the Roseburg theatre Mon day night, with all its beautiful scenery and startling stage effects, and was wit nessed by the largest audience that has greeted a theatrical company in Roseburg for months. Faust, dramatized, is much superior to the familiar opera, in point of interest. It is a dreary and improbable sort of story at best, but tho devil and the i old woman managed to enthuse enough life in it to mako it go, and on several occasions there were hearty bursts of ap plause. Tho electrical display was brill iant and leautiful, the costumes elegant ard the acting good. Quick Work or Slow Flying. The rejwrt comes from French Settle ment that Jame3 Conn, a few days ago while out huntin?, saw a flock of ducks on the wing. James determined to fetch one of them down. So he stopped his horse, led him twenty or thirty yards to n tree, undid the halter aud tied his horso fast, loaded his shotgun and fired, bringing down ono of the ilock. The qucery is, did Mr. Conn do all this pre paratory woik in a second of time or did that tlock of ducks tly so slowly as to not get out of gun shot rauge during Mr. Conn's making ready to shoot? That is the question. SlIUs, Silks, Silks.

Yates received tho republi can nomination for prosecuting attorney of the 2d judicial district at the state con vention in Portland last week. Mr. Brown, the present efficient officer, was his opponent for the nomination, but the fact of Douglas county having the judge Hhip, influenced the delegates in favor of the Benton county candidate. Mr. Yalca has filled several public po sitions in this and other counties, and has always been an honest, energetic and capable official. Mr. Yates is a good, lawyer, and very popular with all who know him. William E. Yates was born on his fath er's farm, three miles east of Coryallis, in Linn connty, thirty-nine years ago, and lived at his birth place until he reached the age of twenty-five years. His early education was obtained in the district school, but during the last four yeara he lived on the farm, he attended the Oregon agricultural college, from which institution he graduated with high honors in June, 18S0, receiving the de gree, Master of Arts. During tho follow ing year he was retained at the institu tion as a tutor. This position, however, he gave up and accepted tho chair of lan guages in the state normal school, which position.he ably held for four jears. He was then elected county school superin tendent of Polk county, and served one term, lteturmng to (JorvallLS ne was chosen principal of the Corvallis public echools and held the position two years, when he was elected ecLooI superinten dent of Benton county. For some time Mr. Yates had been desirous of entering the legal profession, and to that end had improved his leisure momenta by study ing law, and at the conclusion of his term of office, was admitted to the bar. He has since resided in Corvallis and has built np an excellent practice, and dur ing the past few years has been connect ed with some of the most important I It I - gation before the Benton county bar. Last year Governor Lard appointed him a member of the board of regents of the staU agricultural college, aud he has looked closely after the best interests of the institution. For three yearst past he has been a member of the board of di rectors of the Corvallis public schools, ai'd the present excellent condition of the district's affairs is due largely to his close personal attention and business ability.

The olio was full of wit and repartee and evoked much merriment and applause, especially tho crap scene. Billy Ker sands was "hot stuff," and was repeat edly encored. The juggling was per haps the best that has been seen here, and the female impersonation was al most perfect. The singing was all very gocd, particularly that of the Quartette, and the finale was one of the richest things Charleston has witnessed for a loug time. Taken from beginning to end the entertainment was a good one laughter-provoking, extravagant and absurd. The Georgia Minstrels will always havo a gocd house when they visit Charleston.
