nation be accepted. So that In a short
time our city will lose a man who by hiB

The Dalles as did the report received
this moruiug of the blowing up of the
battleship Maine. At first it was taken
for granted by everyone that the blow
ing up of tbe Maine wub the work of the
Spaniards and a declaration of war was
looked forward to by all. ""The re
port stating that the explosion was
purely an accident caused the excite
ment to abate somewhat, but aB only
meager reports could be received, all
have been anxious for full particulars.

tho flue in Mrs. E. M. Wilson's resi

flames were blown against the shinnies,

near by at the time, succeeded in getting
on the roof and pouring a sufficiency of
salt into the chiunuy to stop the flames,
and as they hud not gained much head

Mr. Wonder has been in this lino of
business for ten years, and thoroughly
understands it in every detail. To say
that he has furnished costumes for al

BLOWN TO ATOMS
The Battleship Maine Destroyed
in Havana Hartor.
THREE HUNDRED LIVES LOST.
Special to The Chko.nicle.
Havana, Feb. 10. The U. S. battle
ship Maine was blown to atoms in the
harbor here at about 10 o'clock last
night,. and it is now believed that at
least 300 sailors lost their lives. All the
officers are known to bo saved except
Jenkins and lerritt, wljo aVe missing.
So far as can.be learned, the explosion
took place in the raagazme UBed for stor
ing gun cotton for torpedoes. The ex
plosion shook the city from ono end to
the other, and all lectric lights were
put out. Fire engines rushed about in
every direction, and no one seemed to
know from winch direction the explo
sion came.
Captain Sigsbeo was on deck at the
time of the explosion, which occurred in
tho bow of the vessel. There were 354
oflicer8 and men on board, and as near
as can be learned less than ono hundred
were saved, and many of them badly in
jured. The wounded and dead wore
taken to hospitals and on board the
Spanish man-of-war Alphonse HI, which
was In tho harbor.
Captain General Blanco of Cuba cabled
the authorities at Madrid saying the
disaster to the Maine was due to acci
dent. ,
Washington, Feb. If. Two members
of the cabinet, whosnent some time
with tho president today, state that
everything so far received indicates the
loss of the Maine was due to accident,
Capiain Sigsbee in a dispatch to Sec
retary Long states ho ( is not prepared to
express un opinion on this point.
There was iiitense excitement around
tho navy department early this morn
ing, and those who had friends 011 board
tho Maine were eager for the latest bul
letin. The department dispatched
wrecking vessels to the set 110 at once,
and no expense will bo spared in caring
for tho wounded.

have strictly First-Class
of specimens from his mine which wero
certainly fine enough to make even a
successful Klondiker's eyes shine. Tho
ore is a rotten quartz and talc, and is
filled with wiregold. The average value
of tho ore is .f52,O0O a ton, and Mr.
Chambers says the ledge has been
stripped for a distance of about fourteen
feet, and opened to a depth of ten feet,
the width of the ledge being about four
teen inches.
It ia more than probable the discovery
is only a pocket, for Nature has never
yet put such rock in place in large quan
tities. Whether a pocket or not, Mr.
Chambers has enough in sight for half a
dozen men. The ore was displaved at
the Umatilla House last night, attract
ing quite a large crowd.
