Washington, May 0. — Bv direction
of the preslileut, who approved the find*
lugs, Acting Seoietary of War Meikle-
John today made public the report and
findingsof the military oouit appointed
to inveatigate tbn charge« made by Ma­
jor-General Mile«, commanding the
uiinv, that the beef supplied to the
army during the war with Spain was
until for the u«u of the troop*. The
mo«t uti|»ortunt fuatures of the report
are:
The finding that the general’« find­
ing« that the refrigerated beef was
treated with chemical« were not e«tab-
lialied; that hi« allegation« concerning
the tanned frosh or canned roast beef
were sustained a« to it« unsuitability
for food a« used on the trans;»ort» and
us a long-continued field ration; cen­
sure of Generul Mile« for “ error" in
failing to promptly notify the secretary
of war when he first formed the opin­
ion that the food wa« unfit; censure of
the cominissui V-geneial (then General
Eagan) tor the too-extensiva purchase
of the canned heef a« an untried ration;
censure of Colonel Matia, of General
Mile«* staff; the finding that the pack­
ers were not at fault, ami that the
meats supplied to the army were of the
same quality aa those supplied to the
trade generally, and the recoiiiinenda*
tion that no further proceedings will ho
taken in the premises.
The conclusion of the court adverse
to further proceedings based upon the
charges is us follows:
"It has been developed in the oourse
of the inquiry, as recited In this report,
that in some instances some Individu­
als failed to perform tiie full measure
of duty or to observe tiro proprieties
which dignified military laws com­
mand; but tiie court is of the opinion
that the mere statement of official facts
developed meets tiie end of discipline,
and tliat tiie interests of tiie service
will be Ireat subserved if further pro­
ceedings be not taken."

Washington, May 9.—Owing to tiie
large number of inquiries that have
lieeri received b y tiie mem tiers of tiie
insular commission since their recent
return from Porto It I co. General Rob­
ert P. Kennedy bus prepared a state­
ment aa to tiie resource« and conditions
in Porto itioo, which he thinks will
cover the point* upon which tiie great­
est interest lias been manifested. Con­
cerning the people themselves, General
Kenedy says:
"There can scarcely be found on tiie
globe a more hospitable and warm­
hearted people than tiioae of Porto
Rico. They aie in full sympathy witii
American institutions.
There is a
great deal of ¡»overty in tiie island, as
it is understood in tiie United Htates.
That is, tiie ;>eople live in flimsilv
constructed huts, have few clothes and
still less of ready money, but, owing to
tiie bounty ot nature around them,
they cun live with little work and few
worldly goods and still not suffer from
either cold or hunger. The stories of
starvation upon tiie island are baseleas
Manila, May I I .—Two companies of
tiie Second Oregon troops, witii tiie
same number of Minnesota troops, dis­
covered today tiie strongest fo-tiflea-
tions and insurgent stronghold yet
found by General Lawton’s men. This
is at Hun Ildefonso, nine miles uortii
of Baliuug. Tiie position is so strong
tiiat it may lie tiie place ot a tre­
mendous battle, if tiie insurgensts hold
tiie position. Tills ami otiier indica­
tions show tiiat tiie progress of General
Lawton toward San Isidro will be con­
tested every inch of tiie way. A mile
ot heavy earthwork« witii flanking
trenches defends tiie town in such a
way that a large iasly of troops will be
required to take tiie place.

rush into General Lawion’s lines tor

Americans.

"While the richer classes live well
in beautifully appointed homes and
have been, for tiie most part, educated
abroad, so tliat they can s;>eak Englsli,
tiie |ierceiitnge of illiteracy among tiie
jsiorer classes is very high, reaching 90
per cent, lint tills is laigely due to tiie
fuel tiiat there are no soiioola worthy
tiie name outside of the largest towns,
or, indeed, one might say, in the whole
island.
"As to agricultural opportunities, I
should «uy tliat not one-fourth of tiie
laud is under cultivation, and thous­
ands of acres yet remain to be given
over to husbandry. Lands are held at
good prices, owing to tiie promise ot
an influx of people from the United
States. Still, there is opportunity for
many thousands of |iersous who really
wisli to engage in agriculture in tiie
island. Tliat there are great oppoitun-
ities in Porto Rico is unquestionable.
To young men desiring to seek per­
manent home* and who iiave a good
stock of energy and enterprise, Porto
itico offers great iuducementa. But I
would discourage tiie simple adventurer
who expects to reap a quick and un­
earned reward.
"Tiie opportunities for stock-rais­
ing, it appears to me, are auperior to
those in almost any part of the United
States, and tiiia without disparagement
to our own country."

Spokane. May 9.—Tiie miners of
Shoshone county, Idaho, that proposed
to operate during tiie reign of martial
law may do so only on condition that
they do not employ members of tiie
Coeur d ’Alene Miners* Union. This
is tiie martial law aa laid down by
General Merriam and Attorney-Gen­
eral Hayes, of Idaho. At a meeting of
the mineowners in this city this morn­
ing, Mr. Hayes presented this man­
date. Thu owners ulieerfully promised
to obey.
"We’re going to clean up the Coeur
d ’Alenes."
said Attorney-General
Hayes prior to his departure for Boise.
“ I have seen some of the mineowners
today and they have been informed by
tiie proper authorities that they cannot
employ anyone connected with a crim­
inal organization in the county. Tiie
miners’ unions in Shoshone county
contain many dest>eradoes and crimin­
als who tiave under the protection of
tiie unions perpetrated crimes ami out­
rages. Twice has it been necessary
because of these men and their organi­
zations to put the country under mar­
tial law. We want to pot a stop to
that sort of tiling."

Manila May 9.—To clear tiie F ilipi­
nos out of Bacolor about five miles
southwest of Suu Fernando, will be
tiie next task of tiie Americana. Tiie
rebel general, Mascardo, has a force of
600 men there, well armed and pos­
sessed of plenty of ammunition. His
troops have never met American sol­
diers, and they think, according to re­
ports carried to San Fernando, that
they can "whip tiie whole lot.”
Bacolor is well intrenched, and thou­
sands of natives are working like beav­
ers digging trendies and carrying tiie
dirt in baskets. The enemy uses his
riflemen for fighting only, but ooinpels
tiie bolo men and Chinese men, and
even women, to labor incessantly.
The rebel outpost is about a mile be­
yond San Fernando, with a trench that
holds between 200 and 300 men. From
that point sevoral volleys were fired
last night upon the camp of the Twen­
tieth Kansas regiment.
Neither Major-General MacArthur
nor Major-General Lawton moved to­
day, although each reconnoitered the
country in tils vicinity or some miles
from headquarters, developing the
presenoe of small forces of the enemy
In the vicinity of Laguna de Bay, the
rebels are extremely active, but t*ie
lines of General Ovenshine and Colonel
Wholley, who is commanding General
King’s brigade during the latter’« ill­
ness, have been materially strength­
ened, and there is no danger in that

Peking, May 9 .—Tiie French m inis­
ter, M. Pichon, has demanded mining
conceaaiona to tiie value of 1,200.000
taels in the province of Szechuan, one
of tiie largest in China, and traversed
by the Yung-tse-Kiang, as indemnity
for tiie recent imprisonment of a
French missionary. The demand is
considered exorbitant. The Chinese
say tiiat the existing conditions of re­
bellion are not due to any laok of en­
ergy on tiie part of tiie government,
which baa frequently consulted the
French minister regarding the best
means of obtaining tiie freedom of the
priests in question.
According to advices from Hankow,
capital of tiie province of Hoo Pee, tiie
Russians contemplate taking definite
action with reference to property now
owned by British subjects in tiie Rus­
sian Jardine concession. Tiie Russian
consul refuses to recognize tiie titles of
tiie claimants. Tiie affair threatens to
interfere seriously with tiie Peking-
Hankow railroad project, and tiie dis­
missal of tiie Russian official ia con­
sidered to be tiie only remedy.

Manila, April 11.— Instances of per­
sonal bravely have been as numerous in
the American army in the Philippines
as during tiie Cuban cumpaign, hut tiie
oorsesjiomlents have not liad the same
opportunity to chronicle these deeds of
daring in the Orient, because, owing
to tiie thickness of tne country pene-
truted, ninny heroic acts were unseen
and unheard of for days after tiieir oc­
currence.
One soldier who has well
illustruted tiie quality ot tiie American
urmy is Captain Charles Clay, of the
Seventeenth infantry. Captain Clay
is a native of Lexington, Ky., and a
grandson of Henry Clay. He brought
new honor to tiie family name in Cuba,
where during the hottest action of tiie
Santiago field, when his men were
lying behind cover for a shelter from
a shower of bullets, lie marched back
ami fortli in front of his company as
erect and cool as though on drees pa­
rade, nor would Ue yield to the appeals
of the men tiiat lie find shelter. "The
captain never forgot for a second that
lie was a Clay," one of tiiem explained.
When Captain Hale was assigned to
a brigade in the Pliilippines he ap­
pointed Clay to the position of adju­
tant. O il tiie first day ot MacArthur’s
advance. Captain Clay, riding erect, as
usual, receive ! a bullet through tiie
neck. He lay six hours in tiie jungle
before he was discovered, and as the
wound was a dangeioua one at best,
bis life was despaired of. His only
thought when lie was brongiit into tiie
iiospital was that his family should be
informed that he was bnt slightly in­
jured. He is now. however, well on
the road to complete recovery.
Among those officers who iiave fallen
no one w ill he longer or more loyally
remembered by liis comrades than
Lieutenant Gregg, of the Fourth in­
fantry. No man in the army had more
than he to make life worth living,
for he had friends, success in hi* pro­
fession, and a vitality and physical
strength that made him tiie imperson­
ation of tiie athlete and soldier. His
fearlessness and confidence in his pow-
eis contributed to Ins death. In the
beginning of tiie liot figlit at Mariouina,
whicli General Hall conducted with
suoli skill and success that it was
worthy of more attention than the over­
shadowing importance of MacArthur’s
advance permitted, Gregg was near his
chief. The horse lie rode iiad just
been shot under him. He was taking
off tiie saddle when a man warned him
that tiie shot had tieen fired by a sharp­
shooter in a tree near by. Refusing to
take cover, as most of the men were do­
ing, the lieutenant stepped forward,
and, standing erect, unoased his field
glasses to look at tiie tree. Just as he
raised tiiem to liis eyes a puff of smoke
was seen in tiie tree, Gregg put liis
hand to hi* breast and fell forward,
killed instantly.
Pottsville, Pa., May 9.—Tiie powder
mill plant of the Pottsville Water
Company, located seven miles east,
blew up today, destroying 18 tons of
powder. No workmen were about the
plant at the time of tiie explosion. A
gang of tramps, it is believed, set fire
to a magazine, wiiich contained 14 tons
of blasting powder.
Five minutes
later there was a second explosion,
when the drying-house, containing four
tons of powder, went np. The two
explosions wrecked the entire plant.

At Pendleton, Or., there is on foot a
plan for the formation of what will be
called the Pacific Northwest Producer*’
Association, which will before long
make itself a strong factor in the in­
dustrial life of thia section.
Tims
far, tiie membership seco red consist*
only of farmer« and grain producers,
hut it is hoped tiiat tiie wool men and
sheep-breeders will come in.
T iie
members sign the following agreement:
"We, the undersigned producers of
tiie county o f ------and state o f --------,
do hereby agree to unite ourselves in a
non-political body for the purpose of
providing for ourselves protection
against tiie trusts tliat have been
formed, and which dictate to the pro­
ducers tiie prices of tiie commodities
which we produce; and to further pro­
vide ourselves with a place to meet
and transact business and receive tiie
telegraphic market repoits of tiie
world; and to place ourselves in direct
communication with tiie consumers of
tiie world; and to unite ourselves in
one grand body and to promote har­
mony and work for the general welfate
of the community at large, and for the
producer."
Tiie association will in no manner
touch the mercantile portion of the
business of the community, bnt will
exist solely for the purpose of ena­
bling tiie producers of wheat, wool and
livestock to keep more cloeely in touch
with tiie markets ot tiie world, and to
tiie more intelligently handle them. It
will be tiie particular tenet of the asso­
ciation that there siiall he no politics
in tiie conduct ot tiie affairs. It is
less than 10 days since tiie effort began
to form tiie association, and already
there are on tiie lists of prospective
mein tiers 168 farmers, wheat-growers,
and among them eome of tire most
prominent and solidest of the North­

There were others who survived the
flood besides Noaii and his family,
thinks Peter Johnson, an intelligent
Aiaskan Indian, who is preparing to
write a book in defense of his theory.
Peter has been in Portland for nearly a
month on business jonnected with the
disposal of a quartz mine at Johnson’s
inlet, on the Alaskan coast, and he has
succeeded in unloading it on a com­
pany of Americans for the neat sum of
120,000. Part of thia he intends to
spend in obtaining data for his pro­
posed work,which will treat on Alaskan
tradition and contain half-tone photos
of the higher mountains which the
Aleuts of 4,000 years ago ascended while
tiie waters in the Far East were gradu­
al ly raising the ark. He feels confi­
dent that he can prove to the world
tliat a goodly family of his forefathers
did keep high and dry, and afterwards
lived to people that portion of the

maux and Alaskan Indians, who have

The latest estimates of the Klondike
gold yield this season range from $12,-
000,000 to $20,000,000. The Klon­
dike Nugget says: “ The output has
not been more than donbled, so that it
is not probable that royalty will this
year be paid on more than $8,000,000
Exemptions and evasions will give
abont donble that amount, as the pro­
duction of the territory for the year
ending in the summer of 1899. The
primitive methods used in working
the claims make it very unlikely that
the washup will give more than from
$12,000,000 to $16,000,000 on the out­
side." As compiled by the Midnight

“ Unless the weather moderates and

be a light wheat crop." This is the
opinion of a number of piominent
wheatgrowers of Marion county. They
say that tiie season has been so back­

both night and day, that wheat ha*
not yet made any appreciable growth,
though usually at this itme of year, it
is well up. The wet and cold weather
is favorable to the increase of hoplice,
which have made their appearance on
hop vines in different parts of the
