CRUISER DOGALI IN PORT Steamert Tiverton and Cascade and Bark Coloma Cleared Testerday for California Thyra Ready for Sea Waterfront Items. A special ir to the Morning Astor ian at noon yesterday, brought the sat isfactory intelligence of the safe arrival at San Diego of the Benson sea -raft. The Dauntless went through with the tow and made fair time with fair weather, meeting with no trouble nor delay or any sort. The tow went over the bar here at 5 o'clock p. m. on Thursday, Aug. 24 and was anchored in San Diego bay early yesterday morn ing. juH thirteen and one-half days en route. Fine weather prevailed alii the time. The steamer Tiverton' cleared from this port yesterday afternon with 525. 000 feet of lumber from the Tongue Point lumbering mills, bound for San Francisco. She will probably get away today. The steamer Cascades from Westport for San Francisco, with half a million feet of lumber, cleared from here yesterday. The bark Coloma lies in the city channel awaiting the pass age of the prevailing storm before sail ing for San Diego, with her 705,000 feet of lumber. A - The Italian warship Dogaii returned to the city channel in the early duk last evening to do a bit of belated "shopping" for some of the ship's com pany, and will leave out at noon today if the weather is propitious and the bap possible. The steamer Sue H. Elmore arrived in from Tillamook City and bay points yes terday noon, with a good bunch of freight and a number of passengers. The Norwegian steamship Thyra cleared from this port yesterday, wita 3,08550 feet of lumber, for Fort Pi lie. She has been delayed here for cer tain surveys of her bottom and kelson, which were thought to be in need of close official scrutiny, owing to the fact that she dragged her length over cer tain shoals in the Columbia between here and Portland; but Captain Hoben, who conducted the survey, yesterday gave her a certificate of seaworthiness and she will take to the open just as soon as the prevailing sou'wester will permit, probably today.

XKW YORK, Sept. 7.-The World to day ! The Cuban junta in New York is thought to 1 fitting out two men of war to intercept the Cuban government ship Maria Herrvra, now at Push's stores, in South Brooklyn, loading mu nitions of war. It is known that agents of the junta have been examining ves sels in the Erie basis and that nego tiations are about closed for two ships. A firm of international detectives have been engaged by the Cuban government to watch the revolutionists and it is said that the United States authorities have been asked to prevent any filibusters leaving this port. Colonel Aguew, in charge of the jun ta's press agency, appears to I cha grined that the carefully guarded se cret has leaked out, and loudly protests that the revolutionists do not intend to interefer with the Ilerrera. I Nevertheless, a Cuban said to be in sympathy with the junta, remarked re cently that the Herrera would never see Cuba. Captain Aldema, the Cuban gov- j ernment'g agent in Chicago, in charge of the vessel, made light yesterday of a possible attack upon the ship. t 'I take no stock in the affair," he: said, "We will sail when we get ready, j which probably will be next Wednesday, and the alleged Cuban junta can go' hang." I Captain Aldema denies that he is tak-j ing any precaution to protect his ves- j sel from capture, but several bulky well covered articles on the Ilererra's deck look suspiciously like guns. ITSALADDY IN DANGER. SEATTLE. Sept. 7. Forest fires are sweeping over the southern end of the island of Cantnno in Puget Sound and threaten to complete the destruction of the little settlement of Utsaladdy. So far three residence and a hotel are de stroyed, as have been thousands of dol lars worth of timber. The fire started last Wednesday, but nothing was known here of the fact until today. Thurs day morning the people of Utsaladdy were fighting the fire bravely, but with very little hope of saving the town ow ing to the high wind and the lack of apparatus. BANK CLERKS WILL TELL.

TO TARE OFFENSIVE Guerrera Will Commence Opera tions Against Covcrnment. RAILROAD TRAINS HELDUP Cuban Insurgent Leader Stops Train and Seises Government Mail Not One Shot la Fired Peace Proposals. NEW YORK. Sept. 7. A cable dis patch to the Herald from Havana says; Colonel Pino Guerrera, leader of the insurgent forces in l'inur del Rio pro viure, announced Thursday that he was ready to begin an offensive campaign against the government. He intends making rapid moves, changing camps as often as possible in order to avoid hav ing the burden of feeding so many men long in any one aevtion. He broke camp at Jihara before noon yesterday. Fifty minutes later, when the daily train for Havana started for San Juan y Mar tinet, where the government troops are centered, the road siuth of the station was covered with Otierrera's cavalry as far as the eye could see. Two kilo meter below the station, where the highway ewcs the railroad, the train was stopped by insurgents who liner! their hnres alongside the trark. From that point a long icw of the road in each direction showed the insurgents massed to the horizon. Colonel Julian Bclancourt, fiuerfera's adjutant, went through the tiMin. receiving warm greet ings from almost every passenger. He ordered the removal of two rural guards who had tried to hide, and took the mail sacks with all the correspondence from Sun Juan. The telegraph wires had already been cut. When the train was ordered to proceed without one shot having been fired, the insurgents resumed their march toward the hills back of Riesco. In the government mail seized, Colonel Bclancourt found official instructions from the judge of Pinar del Rio ordering the arrest of himself, Guerrera. Cruz, Colonel Bravet and a score of other leaders on a charge of theft. They wei directed to Col. Avolas, commander at San Juan, till ing him to make the arrests. As Guerrera approached San Juan in one direction Avolcs left in the other with 150 rural guards, going to i'mar del Rio by way of Riesco. He is ex pected to return by the same route. If he does he cannot avoid a flj-ht. I'ino's men seem well disciplined and equipped. Approached by a correspondent. Pino fiuerrera said: "You can tell the people north that I am now going to take tlie offen sive. If I have not done so already, it is Waiisp I have had to perfect the organization, and attend to matters which appeared to me of first import ance. I shall not attempt to hold towns or fortify a position in the hills. I shall continue to move rapidly everywhere." "Has the government made any pro posals of peace!" was asked. "Officially none," he plied fiuerrera. "A committee came to see me two days ago and another of veterans on Thursday. Many veterans are await ing further movements. Unless we ob tain an honorable peace they will join us. I have made no proposition to the government. I have no authority to name conditions of peace. I am sun ply a soldier obeying the orders of the central committee, which is merely a revolutionary body without taking the form of a government. I oliey their di rections and recognize their authority, 'Perhaps you would like to know who is my candidate for president. I have none. If Palma should be elected by the people I would be the first to declare my allegiance. I will support any man elected. If the American peo pie had such a government as exists here they would not let it remain ia power five days." KISS MRS.

At Ladu land ing, sis mile below this place, on the Washington side of the Columbia River, the tlrst clew to t tie bandits who robbrj the State Rank of Rainier Moti lity afternoon ha been found. At dusk on the evening of the robbery, two men rowing down the river in a small green skill landed at Ladu, taught a unch, which they ate at the d'ick, and pushed on dinvn the river. The two men answered the description of the men alleged to have hound Cashier Van Anker ami looted the ault. W, J. Muttchen conducts a small store at Ladu, and one of the men from the boat appeared then-, but the store be ing unoccupied, the stranger came to Mrtttchi'n's house and the tatter ie turned to the store, where a purchase of canned meats and crackers was made. The men were also seen by Tom Hu-h, a llsherman, near IjoIii. Piukerton and other officers are searching but have not lecn able to find any trace of the men or the taat. The district the bands have apparent y picked is one admirably united for con cealment. The Washington shore of the Columbia river below Kalania is with out telegraph or telephone connection for the most part. It is thinly settled, without railroads, and is covered by a dense forest. Should the men get well away they could live for months concealed in some homesteader's cabin. DEAD AT LOS ANGELES. I.OS ANfiKI.KS, Sept, 7.
