: SPAIN'S 1NSTRUC-
HONS TO ITS
COMMISSIONERS
Rules for Cuban and Porto
Rican Commissioners.
INSURGENTS TROUBLESOME
Germany May Take a Hand in the
Philippine Matter Captain-General
of the Canaries Removed.
' London, Aug. 22. The Time corre
. tpondent in Madrid says:
"A committee, consisting of Duke Al
modovar de Rio, the foreign minister;
Senor Romero Giron, minister of the
colonies; Lieutenaat-Geueral Correa,
minister of war, and Captain Aonon,
'; minister of marine, is preparing instruc
tions for the Cuban and Porto Rican
couimissioners.whieh will be dispatched
August 31, eo as to arrive within the
time fixed by the protocol.
"In these instructions attention will
be called to the distinction between ces
sion of territory and cession of eover
. eignty. In the latter case, it seems to
; be maintained nere that buildings and
' pnblic works will here remain the prop-
erty of the sovereign power until they
are paid for by the government.
"Certain members of the cabinet are
t of the opinion that the commission will
have first of all to determine some local
and administrative modus Vivendi dur
ing the transitional period until the
evacuation is completed.
"Meanwhile, the government will
) probably call the attention of the cabinet
r at Washington to the fact that while the
1 insurgent leaders profess to accept the
z armistice, their subordinates continue
' to tarry on hostilities against outlying
' Spanish garrieons.
"While the government thus devotes
i ta attention for a moment chiefly to the
juestions of detail relating to the An
tilles, much anxiety is felt with regard
to the Philippine question, which is like.
iK ly to create much more serious difficul
ties. On this subject very little guid
ance is afforded by the studiously vague
terms employed in the protocol. These
' words have been carefully examined
' with the aid of all available dictionaries,
not only by Spanish ministers but also
by the diplomatic representatives of sev
eral foreign powers,, and all seemed
agreed that in drafting this part of the
protocol, President McKinley's aim was
simply to keep a free hand for himself
t until he should have time to collect in
. formation and decide what policy the
United States should adopt in the Far
East.
' "All possible questions regarding the
' future of the archipeligo are thus left
jpen, and both government and pub
"c opinion seems in doubt as to what
.ie shall be taken by Spain in the forth
coming negotiation.
r - "The ministers Btill declare that offi
cial dispatches respecting the capitula
tion of Manila have not been received ;
therefore, the Aogustin incident is ex
" plained.
f Mail advices explain the transfer
) ernce of administrative authority from
General Augustin -to the governor of
.-- Vicayas island."

tically deserted save for a few strollers.
Four trains carried the crowd over to
the beach. The firBt one left at 7:45,
the eecond at 8:50, the third, the through
Portland train, at 11 :45 and the fourth
at 1 :15. Each of these trains was made
up of from 10 to 15 coaches and observa
tion cars and all were crowded to their
limit with the exception of the last one,
which only carried over a small num
ber. The Portland train carried over
1000 people, all through paesengers, and
was packed to the platforms. The Ma
nila Guards and t he First regiment band
went over on the 8:50 train. Strange
to say, hardlv 50 persons all told got off
at way stations, all going through to
Seaside. Between tne visitors and the
residents of the beach, probably 8080
people were scattered between the depot
and the Seaside house. This is as many
if not more people that have ever been
at the beach at one time, and the scene
resembled the far-famed gay Coney isl
and. As soon as the excursionists
reached the beach they made for the
most part, a straight line for the eandB
by the sad ssa waves. As far up and
down the beach as the eye could reach,
the sands were thickly dotted with hu
man beings of every size, shape, color
and age imaginable.
A REAR-END
COLLISION
Frightful Accident on a Massachusetts
Railroad Seven People Killed and
Twenty-six Wounded.
Sharon. Mass., Aug. 21. A frightful
rear-end collision occurred in the Sharon
station of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad, at 7:30 o'clock to
night, when an express train, which
was running as the second section of a
a loDg train, crushed into the first sec
tion, composed of local cars.
As a result, seven persons were killed
and twenty-six seriously injured. The
injured were nearly all removed to Bos
ton on a special train, which was met by
ambulances and surgeons. The rear car
of the local train was completely de
molished, and a portion of the eecond
car, while the engine of the express
train was crippled.
The two trains which were in the col
lision were usually com blued into one
long heavy train; it was divided, the
first section running as a local accom
modation, while the eecond, which
started from Mansfield 15 minutes later
than the first, ran as an express. The
local train due at Sharon at 7:02 was
thirteen minutes late. It left Mansfield
on time, making two stops, and had lost
the thirteen' minutes between Mansfield
and Sharon. It was due in Canton
Junction, the next etation beyond
Sharon, two minutes ahead of the ex
press train, which should have passed it
there. Sharon is situated on a curve,
and both the outward and in ward tracks
are protected by electric block signals.
The Rev. W. B. Costley, of Stock
bridge, Ga., while attending to hiB pas
toral duties at Ellen wood, that state,
was' attacked by cholera morbus. He
says: "By chance I happened 'to get
hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea -Remedy, and I
think it was the means of saving my
life. It relieved me at once." For sale

MILITARY .
OCCUPATION
PROCLAIMED
General Merritt Proclaimed
Government of Manila.
SPANISH TREASURY SHORT
Only Eight Hnndred Dollars Left The
Firmness of Our Commander Saved
Manila From Pillage.
Loxbox, Aug. 22. The Manila corre
spondent of the Daily Telegram, in a
dispatch dated Sunday, says:
General Merritt has proclaimed a gov
ernment of military occupation. The
news of the armistice arrived on the
15th. It is feared that the Americans
may restore the Philippines to Spain
and thus rc-inaugurate a fresh period of
tyranny, extortion and rebellion.
The Americans found ?S0O in the
Spanish treasury.
Foreign opinion is loud in praise of
the action of the American commander
in excluding armed rebels from the city.
It is believed his firmness saved Manila
from pillage. A week ago there ap
peared to be a possibility of a collision
with the rebels, but there is no danger
now. Eeverythicg is extremely quiet
at present.
Deafness Cannot BeiCored
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the reeult, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deaf ness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.

There was no serious illness on beard

Our baby has been continually troub
led with colic and cholera infantum since
his birth, and all that we could do tor
him did not seem to give more than
temporary relief, until we tried Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. Since giving that remedy he
has not been troubled. We want to
give you this testimonial as an evidence
of our gratitude not that you need it to
advertise your meritorious remedy. G.

ffotice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on th6 rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are $60,000, an amount al
most equal to the indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait lunger on delinquents to
make settlements. For this .reason a
warrant has been attached to each de
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. With a bountiful crop now
in eight, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for the non-payment of
taxes. The eheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure and sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.

POINTS OF SUPERIORITY
The Vive Has all the Advantages of Ev
ery uiner camera ana in many
Ways Superior to Any.
No other camera so eimple and sure,
or so quickly operated.
No other camera of the price takes
such large pictures, or carries eo many
exposures at one loading as the $5.00
Vive.
No other camera will allow of either
using or not using holders at the will of
the operator.
No other so inexpensively or readily
enables one to use either glass plates
or cut films, and in such numbers.
No other will hold glass plates and
cut films so that both can be used at the
same time.
No other camera includes, free, a full
complement of universal metal combi
nation holders.
No other camera has such eimple,
light and universal holders, or those
which also hold any size of glass
plates or cut films under the full eize ad
vertised for the respective sizes and
styles of Vive cameras.
No other camera is so small and com
pact for the sat of pictures taken.
No other is so easy to understand and
operate.
The magazine of the Vive camera
holds so many S. R. V. backed glass
plates or cut films that daylight leading
is unnecessary ; quickly enabling the
operator to carry in the camera and
make from one to over one hundred ex
posures at one loading. ,
Avoid buying a camera where the re
quired additional glaes plate holders
alone, almost double the advertised
price, and then not be able to carry them
in the camera.
We guarantee eyery Vive camera to
do and be all that we claim in our cata
logue, and to take pictures fully equal
to illustrations shown therein. We also
emphatically guarantee every sample
picture we advertise, to be taken with
the Vive, as sta ted.
