OREGON BOYS
WILL COME HOME
Regulars Will Go to Manila as Soon as
Transportation Can Be Secured,
and the Volunteers Will Be Re
turned in Their Order.
Portland, Dec. 7. A telegram was
received here this morning which ought
to bring joy and gladness to every heart
in Oregon. It is as follows :
Denver, Dec. 7. TheRockyMoun
tain News prints the following tele
gram from Secretary Alger, dated at
Washington, Dec. 6.:
"It is proposed to send regulars to
relieve the volunteer regiments in
Manila just as soon as transporta
tion can be arranged. The volun
teers will be returned to the United
States in the order in which they
left."
This would bring the troops back in
the following order : First California,
Second Oregon, First Colorado, Tenth
Pennsylvania, and the Utah battery.
The circumstances surrounding the is
suance of this piece of information in
dicate that it is authentic and true.
A few weeks ago the governor of Col
rado, who had been using bis - influence
to have a prominent young Colorado
volunteer discharged from the service in.
Manila, received a letter from Adjutant
Ganeral Corbin stating that it was the
purpose of the president to have the
volunters sent home as soon as regulars
can be provided to take their place.
Beyond question the letter was not
intended for publication, as the peace
negotiation were at a critical point at
that time, but the letter fell into the
hands of the newspapers, and was wide
ly printed. Secretary Alger wired a
contradiction ot the statement, and it
was thought at the time that the war
department considered it bad policy to
give out nny such information ' until
peace was concluded.
A day or two after the announcement
that Spain would accept the terms of the
United States, and that peace was as
sured, a number ot regiments of regu
lars stationed in Wisconsin were ordered
to proceed to San Francisco, preparatory
to sailing for Manila early in January,
and now comes the information from
Secretary Alger that regulars ' will take
the place of volunteers as eoon as the
change can be made. -
The president has eaid it was his
purpose to relieve the volunteers with
regulars, and has asked congress to in
crease the army sufficiently to allow him
to do so. -
It is the opinion of those who have
given the matter thought that the ex
changes could not possibly be completed
in less than three months from the
time it begins, and as the regulars - are
ordered to be ready to sail from San
Francisco between January 5th and 12th
it may be April or May before the Ore
gon boys get home. The thought that
they are eoon to come, however will
make the time go by rapidly, and in

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has, been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood anil mucous surfaces of the dieease
and giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprie
tors have S3 much faith in its curative
povrjrs, that they offer One Hundred
Do lars for any case that it fails to cure.

PRESIDENT'S
COURSE CRITICIZED
The Debate Was Started by Hoar, who
Made a Vigorous Protest
Washington, Dec. 7. At 12 :16 the
senate went into executive session, and
a long debate upon the question of con
firmation of the Hawaiian commission
ers. The debate was started by Hoar,
who made a vigorous protest against the
practice of appointing senators on such
a commission. He said senators so ap
pointed became duly authorized agents
of the president to carry out his ideas and
wishes, and claimed this was not com
patible with their functions as senators.
The same objection, he said, applied to
the peace commission at Paris.
The appointing of senators and com
missions was defended by Morgan (.Ala.l
and Piatt, (Conn.) who claimed there
was nothing inconsistent in doing so.
The debate then became s6mewhat
general, and the constitutional peroga
tives of the president and rights of the
senate were diecueaed at length, upon
the legai and technical phrases of the
subject.

To Be Concluded this Week.
Paris, Dec. 7. There was no joint
session of the peace commission today,
as the Spaniards are still occupied in
translating the American answer to their
proposals in regard to the status of Span
ish subjects in annexed territory.
As cabled last eyening, the eight prin
cipal articles of the treaty are settled,
and all that remains for the commissions
to attend to is the settlement of minor
points of the treaty. The latter will
probably be signed Saturday next, for
the Spaniards are as anxious as the
Americans to finish the work in hand.
Fire Near Woodburn.
Woodbuen, . Or., Dec. , 6. The farm
residence of Mrs. G. M. Engle, one and
a half miles east of Woodburn, was to
tally destroyed by fire at 9 :30 last night.
Mrs. Engle is now a permanent resi
dent of Portland. The house was oc
cupied by I. F. Clark, who lost every
thing except the clothing he wore. The
origin of the fire is a mystery. Mr, and
Mrs. Clark were visiting in Woodburn
at the time. The loss on the building is
$200; contents $500. There was no in
surance. Boat Was Overturned.
Astoria, Dec. 6. Alex Hansen, a
fisherman, about 50 years of age, was
drowned this afternoon in about three
feet of water on the tideflats in front of
Alderbrook. He was in a ekiff that
overturned, and he made no effort to
save himself, although ropes and boards
were thrown to him from the net above.
He left a widow and eeveral children.
A cough is not like a fever. It does
not have to run a certain course. Cure
it quickly and effectually with One
Minute Cough Cure, the best remedy for
all ages and for the most severe cases.
We recommend it because it's good.
MESSAGE SUITS
THE CUBANS
Taken As Proof of Honesty of thea
President's Purposes.
New York, Dec. 7. A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says :
President McKinley's message has
given the greatest satisfaction to all
Cubans who look upon it as a definite
declaration of the policy of the United
States toward Cuba. Bafael Portildo.
the president of the Cuban assembly,,
said :
"The message is most satisfactory to
Cuban aspiration and will have an ex
cellent .effect here. It proves beyond
further cavil and dispute the president's
honest intentions toward Cuba. It will
quiet many of our more violent associ
ates, who have talked loudly about
America and have been suspicions of her
intentions and it will enable those, like
myself, who have believed and trusted
in her, to co-operate more fully with her
officials in their work. It is a good mes
sage, and fully satisfies ub."
Henry B. Hyde Seriously 111.
New York, Dec. 7. The World says
that Henry B. Hyde, president of the
Equitable Lite Assurance Society, is
seriously ill at his home in this city,
suffering from nervous exhaustion. His
physician said last night in reply to a
direct question whether Mr. Hyde would
wonld ever be able to resume his duties :
"It would certainly be against tho ad
vice of his physicians. His age and ex
tremely enfeebled condition are not
such that the very great improvement
necessary can hardly be looked foi."
One Minute Cough Cure, cures.
That is what It was made tor.
