fThls morning's bulletin states that
nothing is left but war, and that Consul
Genorul Lee, has been recalled, Our re
lations with Havana will he severed
Saturday. Unless Spain yields before
that time, war will cnrtainly be declared,
and this seems all the more certain
since Spnin declares she will not yield
to McKiuley and that she will not be
Batisfled with anything short of war.
Our government is determined, and
touble can be averted only by surrender
on the part of Spain.
W. II. Babb met with a painful and
shocking accident Wednesdnv forenoon
at Pendleton. He was harnessing a
horse at hie ranch near Echo when the
animal kicked hiui in the face. He wae
putting the crupper under th'o beast's
tail at.d was in a stooping position when
the horse kicked. The force of the blow
knocked him down, and when he was
picked up his face was covered with
blood. The lower jaw wis fractured at
the angle, and a gash was cut in his
cheek. Hie tongue was almost cut in
two. The cut extends diagonally across
the member. While the injuries sus
tained aro severe and very painful, there
is no danger of any serious .results from
the accident.
No more flattering recommendation
for. "King Hallabahoola II" could have
been desired thnn the anxiety of every
one to secure seats at the box office this
morning. Pat McNeil, late of the Com
mercial Club, was the first one to ar
rive on the scene, and at 4 :30 took his
place in front of the drugstore. Soon
others arrived, und by 7 :30 o'clock the
lino was a half a block long and still in
creasing. Had the box office remained
closed an hour longer, the line-up
would have ended somewhere in the
East End ; but at 9 o'clock sharp the
seats were placed on sale, and by 10 :30
the majority had been satisfied and the
excitement abated. There are still ,d
tew seats left, and in order to get them
one will have to go immediately-f not
sooner.
The announcement of the .early ap
pearance in our city of the distinguished
actor, Frederick Warde, cijnnot but be
a source of genuine satisfaction to lovers
ol the drame and aduiires of all that is
noble and true in art. For sixteen
years Mr. Warde haaifeeu recognized as
one of the foremost actors of the coun
try. He has won the respect and admi
ration of the Dubll by his devotion to
his nrofession anoy fidelity to the Shakes
pearean and legitimate drama. Mr.
Warde appears7 in a character that he
has made peculiarly IiIb ow,n, ''Virgin
ius," in the grand old play of that name
by James Sheridan Knowles. 1$ Is sate
to assert, that no grander impersonation
exists on the American stage today, and
that its equal hue never before been in
our city.
In a private letter received from Fred
Sklbbee, of this place, who several
months ago left for Skaguay, he states
that he has started in the saloon and
hotel business there anal is doing well,
He also says that property has raised
wonderfully In price there since the
rush commenced, and It costs 50 per
month for a lot 50x50.. At present the
nights are cold in F.knguay, but during
the day it is pleasant. He informs ub
that the reportB concerning the spinal
meningitis ragini; there were falBe, and,
as far us he knows, there were no cases
at all in Skaguay or along the pass.
Horses, mules and burros command a
high price there, but outside of pack
animals everything is very reasonable.
He speaks about the loneliness of the
place, but Outside ot this, has no com
plaints to mnke, and concludes by send
ing regards to all Dalles friends.
At tbe Mctliodlat Church Last Night.
The Methodist church was filled last
night with an audience anxious to listen
to E. F, Miller sing the gospel.
After a short and enthusiastic song
service, tbe evangelist gave opportunity
for requests. A number quickly re
sponded, and then followed a number of
short earnest prayers along the line of
requests.
Mr. Miller had scarcely begun his talk
when we -found ourselves literally "sit
ting in darkness." Hastily concluding
his remarks, he seated himself at the
organ and sang "Calvary" and other
touching songs. Lights were brought in
and for a few moments be spoke of tbe
work of children in tbe home, illustrat
ing his remarks by several incidents
where children had led the parente unto"
the "way of life." He then sang a
most pathetic Bong, "Willie and Papa."
At tbe close of his remarks he invited
persons to manifest their desire to lead a
Cbrietian life, and quite a number rose
in response
The mooting was thought by the
church to be the most effective of any
yet held. B.

MILITIA ON A WAR FOOTING.
Would lie Ready to Fight at Almost
Any Moment,
The Oregon militia is on a war foot
ing. When the time comes to burn gun
powder; when Ecreaming shot and shell
go tearing through the air and dynamite
plows great trenches in the earth, big
enough to hold an Hrmy, the Oregon
militia will be ready for the call of duty
and lay down their lives, if necessary,
for tbe honor of "Old Glory." The offi
cers and men, for that matter are not
doing any talking on the outside, but
are letting their actions speak for them
selves.
The men are showing their patriotism
by practical methods. Everyone of them
is eager for war to vindicate America's
honor, which they believe has been sul
lied bv the brutal Spaniards, in tbe
blowing up of the Maine, in flaunting
their bravadoism in America's face and
cruelly crushing a people striving for
liberty. The officers are no less deter
mined than the men, but they say noth
ing, and are throwing tbe full force of
their energy toward putting the men in
a position to take the place of trained
soldiers in the event their services are.
needed.
The new rifle impels a bullet with ter
rific force, and at 100 yards will send its
deadly messenger thronght several men.
The gun to be used is the new "Crack
Joergensen. Smokeless powder will be
used entirely, and the target will not
be obscured by tbe smoke of battle. The
effects of battle with such weapons, not
to speak of tho dynamite which would
be. discharged from balloons, and the
other great machines of destruction,
could be better imagined than de
scribed. In caee war is declared the guards
would'be placed under orders, and go
into camp and draw regalar pay. They
would probably never be called on 'o
actual duty, unless armed forces were
landed some where on the coast of this
state.
