Havana, June 28. Colonel Guerse
ras, with a column of troops and acting
in conjunction with the local guerilla
force and garrison of Madruga, has
been engaged with an insurgent force
under the leadership of Arangueren,
winch was intrenched in the Sierra do
grille, near Madruga.i n this province,
ine Spanish troops, the official report
says, successfully dislodged the insur
gents from all the positions occupied
by tho latter, until the enemy reached
Abro del Cafe, where the insurgents
made a determined stand. Eventually
the insurgent were also dislodged from
that place, and the Spanish troops de
stroyed the enemy's camp. The fight
ing, the official report adds, lasted
from 8 o'clock in the afternoon until 7
o'clock at night. The insurants, in
retreating, left 10 men killed on the
field, and the government lost one lieu
tenant and 15 soldiers killed, and had
one major, one captain and 134 soldiers
wounded.
Dinner to the Poor.
London, June 28. The Princess of
Wales jubilee dinner to the poor was
very successful. About 8000 denizens
of the slums were sumptuously enter
tained at the various centers. The
princess, accompanied by the Prince of
Wales, Princess Victoria of Wales,
and Prince Charles, of Denmark, viB
ited the prinoipal halls. Tho places
visited by the royal party were the Peo
ple's Palace, in the East End, Center
hall, in Holburn, and the Western
schoolhouse. At the People's Palace
the royal visitors were received by the
lord mayor and the lady mayoress.
The children at the People's Palace
were all cripples. They were wheeled
in bath chairs, limped on crutches, or
were carried into the banquet hall. At
the Central hall, Holburn, 17,000 peo
ple, young and old, partook of the ban
quet served. The members of the roy
al party shook hands with and spoke
enoouraging words to many ragired
waifs. The same scenes were enacted
at Clerkenwell.
At the People's Palace the princess
herself made the first block of ioe oream
with a patent freezer, to the delight of
the children.
The Tariff Bill.
Washington, June 28. The senate
today completed the wool, the silk and
the tobacco schedules of the tariff bill,
and, with this accomplished, the tariff
leaders had the satisfaction of knowing
that all the schedules of the bill and
the free list had been gone over once.
There now remains only to go through
the bill a second time, passing on the
items passed over. These are very nu
merous and important, including hides,
gloves, coal, tea and 1 eer. After that,
the internal revenue features will be
all that remains. Progress was rapid
today, although every paragraph relat
ing to carpets was stubbornly contested.
The consideration of the silk schedule
led to a strong contest against the pro
posed duties on silk fabrics. Senators
Teller and Mantle joined with the
Democrats in opposition. The para
graph was passed by a majority of two.
The tobacco schedule went through
with little friotion, after the committee
had advanced the duty slightly on
wrapper and leaf tobacco.
Fatal Shooting Affray.
Calistoga, Cal., June 28. A fatal
shooting affray took place today on the
place of W. K. Coburn, was killed 14
miles from here, W. H. Coburn was
killed and Deputy Sheriff Storey was
fatally wounded. Sheriff Pardee nud
a posse were in pursuit of G. W. Co
burn, son of the deceased, who escaped
from jail at Lockport a year ago. It
was discovered that the escape was in
hiding at his father's place, and aposse
was formed to capture him, but the
father appeared on the scene, and wus
about to shoot Parsons, when two of
the posse fired at him. Young Coburn
then used his gun on Storey, who will
die. Young Coburn escaped in the con
fusion which followed, but his capture
is only a matter of a few hours.
England Heart the News.
London, June 28. In the house of
commons today the parliamentary sec
retary for the foreign office replied to a
I question of Beckett, conservative, re
garding Hawaiian annexation. He said
the government was aware that a pro
posal to annex Hawaii to the United
States had been submitted for the con-
! sideration of the senate, but no deci
sion had been reached. The secretary
I added it would be the object of her
! majesty's government to see that what
! ever rights according to international
! law belong to Great Britain and Brit
ish subjects are fully maintained.
Congreutnan Cooke Irnd.
Washington, June 28. Congressman
Edward Dean Cooke, of the Sixth Illi
nois district, was found dead yi his
room at the Cochran hotel this morn
ing, presumably of heart disease.
Cook retired about 11 o'clock last
night, apparently in perfect health.
At 2 o'clock this morning Might Clerk
Cochran was called to his room and
found him suffering from nausea, but he
soon recovered, and declined to have a
physician called. About 5 o'clock
Cochran went to Cooke's room and
found he was dead. Cooke was a na
tive of Iowa, and was 48 years old.

i'mifiili intp VctiTiun at the Naaliville
Kxiohitlnn.
Nashville, June 25. The morning
trains brought several thousand people
to the city to attend the annual reunion
of the United Confederate Veterans.
John B. Gordon prefaced his add rex
at the business meeting with an an
nouncement of his intention to resign
as commanding general, but there were
cries of "No" from all parts of the hall.
Keferring to the rapid growth of the
organization during the eight years
since he was first elected, from 10
camps to more than 1,000, General
Gordon said:
"It is an army still, Mr. President,
but an army for the bloody work of war
no longer. Its banners no longer bear
the flaming insignia of battle. Its weap
ons no longer flash defiance to the foe,
nor deal death to opposing ranks. Its
weapons are now the pen without mal
ice, the tongue without aspersion, and
history without misrepresentation. Its
aims are peaceful, philanthropic and
broadly patriotic, bailing alter the
most desperate defensive struggle in
human annals to establish their cher
ished confederacy, these high-soiled
sons of the South offer this record of
devotion as the noblest pledge of their
fealty to freedom and of their readiness
to defend the republic of their fathers.
"In conclusion, my comrades, let me
hope that the wise conservatism, and
the spirit of magnanimity which is al
ways the brightest gem in the crown of
courage, will mark your career in the
future, us they have in the past."
When General Gordon hud concluded
his address General Joseph Wheeler
nominated General Gordon for re-election,
and the nomination wus carried
unanimously. The committee on cre
dentials reported 7.0U0 names of those
present 1,000 camps represented.
At the business meeting it was voted
to meet in Atlanta next year.
Tomorrow the 15,000 ex-Confederates
and their friends will devote them
selves to social recreation. The great
parade occurs tomorrow. Ten thous
and men will be in line. General Tay
lor and staff, General O'Fi rr.dl of Vir
ginia, the staff of Governor Culberson
of Texas, members of the Texas legisla
ture, General Buckncr, Evans,' Whea
ton and others will be in line. All the
states forming the Southern Confeder
acy will be represented in the order in
which they voted to secede. At the
centennial exposition grounds a jubilee
meeting will be held in the anditorim.
The principal report made to the bus
iness meeting was by the committee on
history. The committee, in substance,
reported in favor of the plan now pur
sued, of inviting many writers into the
field of history, rather than selecting
one or more to write a history.
JUBILEE DAY IN VICTORIA.
Vacht Races, Band Content and Quo
Tournament.
Victoria, B. C, June 25. At the
time for calling the jubilee yacht race,
the wind was somewhat light, but' to
ward noon it freshened, and from then
on the day was an ideal one. The
length of the course on a triangle is six
miles. Class A sailed around three
times; class B, C and D one. In class
A five entered, in B and C six each,
and in D seven. In class A the new
Victoria yacht Ariadne came In first;
the Myth, of Whatcom, second, and the
Jubilee, of Victoria, third. Owing to
running on a rock in clearing the har
bor mouth, the White Star, the flagship
of the Seattle fleet, was not in trim, al
though not seriously injured. In class
B, the Britannia, of Nanaimo, crossed
the line first. The Ariadne, of What
com, class C. and Daisy Bell, class D,
finished first. The time allowances
have not yet been figured up.
In the jubilee celebration band coin
petition today the First Kegiment
band, of Seattle, took first money,
$200; II. M. S. Imperieiise second;
Fifth Kegiinent band, of Victoria,
third.
In the gun tournament today, E. A.
Kimball, It. L. Pierce and Mr. White
representing Tucoma in the team shoot,
took first prize with a score of 47; Van
couver second with 46; Victoria third
with 45; Capital team, Victoria, fourth
with 43, and Victoria fifth with 41.
Bohannon'a Victim Dead.
Leadville, Colo., June 25. Thomas
Fahey, the dpeuty sheriff shot by Lee
Bohannon, died this evening. Just a
few moments before his death, Ed. Bo
hannon and his wife were brought to
the bedside of the dying man and he
identified the woman as the person
who had picked up his revolver from
the floor, where it had dropped during
the struggle, and bunded it to Lee Bo
hannon. The latter then used it on
the deputy with fatal effect.
There is much feeling aroused, and
the danger of trouble has not passed.
Sheriff O'Mfthoney has taken every
precaution, however, to avoid trouble.
The Italna Ntop Fighting.
New York, June 25. A letter writ
ten . by General Maximo Gomez, dated
May 17, has been received by the Cu
ban junta. It states that the rains
having begun, fighting is over for the
season. During the period of inactiv
ity the Cuban army is reduced to 8,000
men, but, writes Gomez, these men
are well-equipped, well-fed, sturdy
and efficient soldiers. The Spanish
army, the Cuban general describes ar
ill-equipped and ill-fed.
fcnulaiHl'ii Rrrateat Annlveranry Fit
tingly Observed by Loyal llritnna.
London, June 24. The last stroke of
12 had not died away in the midnight
air when from a hundred metropolitan
steeples a tumultuous peal of bells an
nounced the diamond jubilee day. The
vast crowds that filled the miles of
streets and squares answered with ring
ing cheers and here and there with the
singing of "God Save the Queen."
The crowds that peopled the streets
and squares all night in the hope of a
good view of the procession today were
amazing in their sublime patience.
Waiting for 12, 14 and 16 hours, as
many of these people are doing, jammed
together, is a feat of endurance that
could only be sustained by some over
mastering desire. Quite half of theBe
jubilee waiters were women, many of
them the pale, careworn women of
London, yet all enduring the back
breaking tediouBness with the utmost
good nature. Some had camp-stools,
some sat on projections of buildings, on
curb-stones, or leaned in doorways
and the angles made by stands. Re
freshment's were in order everywhere,
and the police had little trouble, cheery
good humor being the note of the night.
During the long hours snatches of song
and occasional bursts of cheering
showed that the people were deter
mined to enjoy the festival of patriotism
and loyalty to the utmost. A clear,
starlight sky and cool air kept the
spirits of the orowd at the topmost
point throughout the vigil. With the
dawn the hopes of queen's weather
merged into certainty, and the world
prepared itself in fullest confidence for
a day of pleasure.
The procession was headed by an ad
vanoe party of royal horseguardB. Then
followed a band of the same corps
playing the inspiring "Washington
Post March," and close upon the band
came a portion of the picturesque
Northwest mounted police as escort to
the first oolonial premier, Hon. Wilfred
Laurier. The Northwest policemen
made a striking appearance. The Vic
torian mounted troops followed, suc
ceeded by the New Zealand mounted
contingent, a fine-looking, sun-burned
lot of men, drawn from almost every
town in the colony. Then oame New
Zealand's premier, Hon. Richard J.
Siddon.
For the moment Australia gave way.
Afrioa was allowed a chance, and the
Cape of Good Hope mounted rifles
wearing scarlet, with white helmets,
rode . by to herald the coming of the
cape premier, Hon. Sir J. Sprigg.
The premiers being disposed of, then
succeeded a most attractive display of
mounted troops of the crown colonies,
and the Rhodesian horse colonial in
fantry, broken bv three bands, typical
of the United Kingdom. Then there
passed a splendid contingent from
Canada's infantry, 175 strong, with
Colonel Aylmer leading. Then fol
lowed all the lord lieutenants of Lon
don, his grace, the Duke of Westmins
ter in a lord lieutenant's dress. The
duke was followed by a glittering cav
alcade of officers.
Next oame the officers of the auxili
ary forces in attendance on H. R. H.,
the Prince of .Wales, equerries, gentle
men in waiting and military attaches.
Then, as a compliment from the kaiser,
a deputation from the Fuerst Prussian
dragoon guards.
After the Germans came the most
brilliant group of all. Soldiery, offi
cers of the imperial service, troops
from India, in their uniforms, brilliant
to a degree. Many wore massive gold
earrings with enormous stones.
The crowd now began to show more
eager interest in the passing vehicles,
as they were nearer and nearer to the
queen. The first part of the sovereign's
escort now rode into view, the Second
Life Guards, As their well-known
brilliant uniforms appeared, a whisper
ran electrically, "She's coming." The
guards were soon succeeded by an es
cort of British and foreign princes
Many faceB were known, recognized
and cheered. This brilliant escort was
composed of the flower of Europe's
thrones.
Following the princes oame the
guard of honor, 22 officers of the native
Indian cavalry corps, men of fine phy
sique, picturesque uniform and strange
faiths. Then they could see tho queen's
horses. It was the queen at last.
A cheer broke forth which seemed to
shake the earth, and which was re
newed again anil again as her majes
ty's carriage approached. The famous
eight Hanoverian creams, with long
manes richly woven with ribbons of
royal blue, were passing. Gorgeous
they looked in the new harness. The
liveries of the postilions were in keep
ing with the horses.
The carriuge in which her majesty
rode now came abreast. Beside her
majesty rodo the Prince of Wales, and
opposite her mujesty II. K. II. Prin
cess Christian. On the left of her
majesty rode H. R. II. the Duke of
Cambridge, on the right the Princess
of Wales, who was followed by the
Duke of Connaught, the general com
manding.
The route of the procession covered
6? miles, which was profusely dec
orated with banners, flags, flowers, mot
toes, portraits of the queen, tho impe
rial monogram, etc Eight thousand
policemen guarded the line of march.

frowning. Honklnn & Company's ReTieir
at Trade.
There were a number of considera
tions in the wheat market to unsettle
the ideas of traders. The uneasiness
over the July deal on account of tho
small Rtoeks has been one of the factors.
It was started by the discovery that
tradi in July would not Bettle with
one of the prominent elevator concerns,
and the conclusion was at once reached
that this concern had bought enough
July wheat to develop an interesting
situation with local contract stocks ol
wheat so abnormally low. Not only
are local stocks and the American visi
ble away below last year's level, but
the recent decreases have each week
been greater than expected. On account
of the good cash trade the local out
inspection has been heavy, and each
week a large percentage of the local
stock is moved out. The position taken
by the board of trade directory 011 the
elevator question was inclined to add
to the uneasiness regarding the possi
bility ot a July squeeze.
Among the minor consideration!
have been the changes in the weather,
the reports of locusts in the North
west, the good spring wheat flour trade.
In a general way the market has been
unsettled and easily influenced in eithei
direction by a comparatively small
volume of trade.
