oflicer and nine of her crew nro iiiIbbiup.
The gunboat Petrel, Bent to investigate,
returned and reported that the Urdaneta
was beached opposite the town of Orani,
on the Or.wii, river (.lie was burned and
the following guns witii their ammuni
tion were captured :
One one-pounder, one Colt automatic
gun and one Norden'eldt, twenty-fivo
milimetcr gun. The crew of the
Urdaneta aro prisoners, or have been
killed. Further details are lacking.
Was Oregon Boy.
Wamii.ncito.v, D. 0., Sept. 25. The
gunboat Urdaneta, which was captured
with her crew, about twenty-five miles
from .Manila, is a little craft of only forty
tons displacement, not much larger than
a small tug. She was captured by the
navy early in the war, and has been on
police duty in the bay for.eeveral months
paat. The records of the navy depart
ment show that ehe was one of the boats
of which the Oregon is the parent ship.
That Ib, ehe was suppoeod to draw all of
her Hupplies from the battle-ship, to bo
manned from tho Oregon's crew, and to
act under instructions of the Oregon's
commander.
According to last reports to the de
partment, the little boat was last May
under command of Naval Cadet Wei born
C. Wood, but the personnel of tho crew
is not a matter of record, being Bubje.-.t
to frequent change. Wood was appointed
to tho naval academy from Oregon, bad
passed his academic course, and was
performing aea service at the time of the
capture.
Naturally .the department officials are
vexed that difficulties of the negotiations
looking to release of Lieutenant Gilmore,
of the Yorktown, and hie men should be
added to by this last misfortune. Still
there is no disposition unnecessarily to
curb junior officers of the navy who are
rendering such gallant service in the
I'hilippines.

There is more Cutarrli in this Eection
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few yeare
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science lias proven catarrh
tobe a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to a teasooonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the

Story of a Slave.
Tobe bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams, of

that she could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric

able to do her own work." This supreme

nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy,

I suffered with diarrhoea for a long
time and thought I was past being cured.
I had spent much time and money and
suffered so much mleerv that I had al
most decided to give up all hopes of re
covery and await the result, but notic
ing the advertisement of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and also some testimonials stating how
some wonderful cures had been wrought
by this remedy, T decided to try it.
After taking a fwj doses I was entirely
well ot that trouble, and I wish to say
further to my readers and fellow-Euffer-crs

Army Transports Nearly Ready to Come

Barneson, who is in charge of the fitting
out of government transports here, stated
tonight in an interview that two trans
ports, the Sikh and City of Rio Joneiro,

land to carry the Thirty-fifth regiment
to Manila.
"We are now furnishing these vessels
with supplies," said Captain Barneson,
"and from present calculations they will
leave here on the 26th.
"It will take them something like
threo days to get up the coast and Col
umbia river to Portland. Both trans
ports are now in i scellent condition for
the trip, a9 much work has been done on

"The Rio Janeiro has capacity of 2800
tonp, and will easily accommodate 750
men. The Sikh has room for "SO passen
gers." RHODES' DECISION
WAITED FOR
Secret Deliberations Are Expected to
End by Tomorrow.
London, Sept. 25. Another week lias
opened with the Transvaal situation
making ti'te. No news has yet been
received of.the delivery at Pietoria of
the last British dispatch. The next big
news will be the decision arrived at by
the raid of the Orange Free state, whose
secret deliberation is expected to close
tomorrow, and it will come as a great
surprise if the raad does not decide to
link arms with tbe Transvaal. Neither
the jingoes nor anti-war party are very
proud of yesterday's affair on Trafalgar
square, which proved nothing except
that a mob is always "jingo."
A telegram received from Calcutta an
nounceB the departure of the transport
Chidhana for South Africa, and the last
transport for the Cape will leave India
tomorrow.
Case of E. L. Minis.
Pendleton, Or., Sept. 25. Judge W.
J. McSween, of Newport, Tenn., Is here
and will serve as associate counsel for
defense in the case against Edwin 1..
Mims at the October term of tho circuit
court. Judge McSween is an attorney
of considerable prominence in Teu
nessee. Judge Lowell will probably call
a grand jury to consider the case.
Mims was accused of the murder of J.
Henry Miller, the coroner's jury return
ing u verdict to that effect. Since the
legislature passed the new law making
it optional with circuit court judges to
summon the grand jury or leave It for
the district attorney to bring informa
tion against persons charged with
crime, it has been the practice in the
court here to follow tho latter alterna
tive. There has been no grand jury in
session here since tho Uw was enacted.
The reason for the judge taking this
action iu the Mims case is that tho ques
tion has been raised in another county
in the state as to the legality of the law
which does partly away with the grand
jury, and there was no deeiro iu a
capital case to leave anything open to
doubt.
