1 2- L VOL. XI THE DALLES, OREGON. SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 10, 1898. NO 100 -at fl Rotable Example of Gool Goange Commendable Action of the Crew of the Burned Ship Delaware Coolness and Bravery Saved Many Lives. New Yobk, July 9. The burning of the steamship Delewaro off Barnegat Inlet, Friday, furnished a striking con trast to the story of horror, death and cowardice connected with the going down of La Burgogne. While the vessel burned rapidly and fiercely in the open eea, still through, the courage and bravero of the officers and the splendid discipline and devotion of the crew they brought off all hands without the loss of a single life, there being in all seventy five paesengers, nine women and three children. It was 11 :45 when the officers passed from state room to state room, rousing the passengers. In each case the officers after knocking, said, "Get dressed and come on deck as Boon aa possible. There is a fire on board the ship. Do not be alarmed, there is plenty of tinfie and no danger. Boats will be waiting for you 1 as soon as you reach the deck." Under these clear and calmly-delivered directions the passengers came out frightened, but orderly, and assembled on deck, where some of the women broke down. Captain Ingram and bis officers walked up and down assuring them there was no cause for alarm; that boats were being prepared; that the sea was calm and the land only a short distance away. While the officers were making the rounds of the state rooms for the second time, Stewardess Hill came up with an arm fall of life-preservers, which sLe distributed among the women. One of them half hysteric ally dropped hers on deck. "Oh I can never get it on," she wept. "I'll fix it for you," said Miss Hill cheerily, and having bundled up the trembling wo man, she went on to the next. "All women to the first boat I" ehout- ed Captain Ingram. With encouraging words the sailors detailed for the duty passed women and children along into the boat, but when the boat was being lowered one young woman remained on deck. "Get in Madam," cried the captain. "There's plenty of room." "I'll stay with my husband, sir," she replied : "I'm not afraid." She was Mrs. J. D. McClassen, of Charleston, S. C, a bride of three weeks, with ber husband. ' She was lowered into the next boat. Captain Ingram was the last to leave the burning ship, and he did not go un -til be had satisfied himself by the enum eration of his passengers that no one could have been left on board. Not a person was lost ; not even one injured. " SUURRENDER MUST BE UNCONDITIONAL McKinley Has Ordered Shatter to Ac cept No Other Terms. Washington, July 9. At 12 o'clock tonight President McKinley wired Gen eral Shatter at (Santiago to accept noth ing from General Linares but uncon ditional surrender. If the Spanish com mander refuses this demand it is con fidently believed that the American fleet and land artillery will batter the city into submission before sunset Sun day. No news has been received from Santiago up to this hour. The time of truce Las passed and news of a bombard ment is expected at the war department at any time. OTIS WILL SAIL THIS WEEK He Goes to Prepare for Formally Rais ing the Flag on Hawaii. Washington, July 9. Major-General Otis will sail for Honolulu some day next week to prepare for formally raising the American flag over the islands. It is believed that the transports City of Paebla and Peru will be ready to re ceive troops by Wednesday, and that the First regiment of New York volun teers, now San Francisco bound, will be the men to go. ' General Otis will go on the fast cruiser Philadelphia or the gunboat Denning-ton. TIB Poweis l not Inieruene WASHINGTON, July;5. It was authoritatively announced today that no peace overtures would be made by the powers of Europe. For some time in tervention on the part of the European governments was feared, but the English, German, French and other ambassadors and legations have openly denied the validity of any such statements, and they are, therefore considered groundless. London reports received here today give color ing to the rumors that Spain will sue for peace in the near future. CORBETT-M'COY MATCH BATTLE Articles of Agreement to Be Signed Next Monday A Purse of $20,000 a Side Put Up. New York, July 9.

JIflY SAVE AT THE ItEAST TflHEE SHIPS Washington, July 9. A cable dispatch received from Admiral Sampson states that three of Cervera's warships may be saved. The Cristobal Colon is considered in good condition, and the Infanta Maria Teresa and Vizcaya may be saved also. RESPECT SHOWN AMERICAN VALOR Europeans Will Have Nothing to Say Concerning American Possession After the Courage We Have Shown in the Present War. London, July 9. -The great victory of Admral Sampson's fleet has firmly convinced the great powers of Europe that the American navy is far greater in actual force than the powers credit its theoretical strength. Sneers at the American navy and army have given place to commanding respect. The cowardice of the French crew in La Bourgogne disaster makes France's situ ation pitiable and humiliating. After the attitude of the press and the people in the present war there is no fear of any great power trying to rob the United States of the fruits of its victory. The foreign powers may expect the con cession of naval etations in the Philip pines, but there will probably not be a word of protest if even this is refused. Miles Sails for Cuba. Charleston, July 9. The transports Yale and Columbia, having on board General Miles and staff and 1700 men, intended bs reinforcements for General Shatter, got away at 2 this afternoon.

NORTHERN PACIFIC TO BE EXTENDED It is Expected That the Road Will Be Built from Coulee City to Chelan. Kendrick, Idaho, July 9. The corps of surveyors recently at work along the Clearwater, laying out a route to the Camas Prairie country, were taken off last week and ordered to the Wateryille country, where they will begin at once surveying a route for the extension of the Central Washington railroad from Coulee City to Chelan, via Waterville. It is said the work of building the ex tension will begin soon. If possible, it will be finished this fall. This will re quire the building of about 100 miles of road, which, it is thought, will eventu ally be the main line of the Northern Pacific railway to the coast, as it will develop a country rich in agriculture and mineral resources, which his com paratively little waste land within its borders that is adjacent to the route the road would take.
