El Paso, Tex., May 24. Samuel
Clayborn, a negro about 26 years old,
who came originally from Tuscaloosa,
Ala., arrived here yesterday from Mex
ico, accompanied by his wife and two
children. He tells a sensational story.
He says that a negro named Bill Ellis,
who lives at San Antonio, visited
Georgia and Alabama last fall and in
duced a colony of 800 negroes from the
states to follow him to Mexico and lo
cate in a barren valley on the borders
of the states or uurango and (Joahuila
about 40 miles east of Mapimi, on the
Mexican Central railroad. Clavborn
says he told the people that they were
going to a penect paradise; that tne
lands were fertile, and that homes
would be given to every family free,
But when the poor negroes reached
their destination they were out to im
proving land under Mexican overseers,
were not paid ior tneir work: ana were
fed on the. vilest food, and compelled
to sleep on tne ground.
On May 9th Clayborn, his family
and about forty others of the negroes
made their escape and were pursued by
armed Mexicans. Clayborn became
separated from the othor fugitives, and
succeeded in reaching Chihuahua. The
others wowe captured, and one of their
number, Antonio Bones, of Eutlaw,
Ala., who again made his escape anc
reached Chihuahua, says the pursuers
shot and killed all of his party except
nimseii, 4. ne u miea o Dates consul at
Chihuahua is investigating the affair.
FORMOSA 4 REPUBLIC,
Such a Declaration Is Made by the People
of tne Island.
SHANGHAI, May 24. Formosa has
declared itself a republic, the flag be
ing a yellow dragon on a blue ground.
The governor, Chang Ting Sung, is
is made president and has notified the
foreign representatives.
(Formosa, an island in the China sea.
was ceded by China to Japan in the
recent treaty. It is about 245 miles
long and 100 miles wide at its widest
part, which is at the center. ' It con
tains an area of 14,982 square miles.
The Chinese had no knowledge oi
Formosa until the year 1403, and their
sway was not established until 1683,
In 1632 the Dutch became masters of
it, but they were expelled by the pirate
Coxinga, whose successors ruled it
until 1683.)
BROWN THE ASSASSIN,
Bea-Atiit Safely Cadged Xa Koseburg's
. Jail,
Rosebtjrg , M ay 24 Murderer Brown
is again safely lodged in the county
jail. ' Brown left the jail at midnight
Tuesday. Deputy Shipley went to bed
about 10 p. M. After-Shipley -was
asleep, Brown, knowing the cage to be
unlocked, dressed. He first thought
he would rob Shipley of his pistol and
money and skip, but concluded he
would not steal, and went out un
armed. He followed the wagon road
to Wilbur, nine miles north, and then
went three miles east to John R. Sutk
erjin's, on the Umpqua river, arriving
there about daylight. There he re
mained until the folks arose, and was
given breakfast. Leaving there, he
lay around . in . the . woods, sleeping
Wednesday night within half a mile of
SuLherlin's father's house, in Camas
swale, where he formerly worked.' He
was afraid to go to the .house, for he
could see Deputy Shambrook there.
Last night at 9 o'clock he came back
to John R. Sutherhn's for supper.
While eating, Sutherlin covered him
with a wince ester, alter wmcn tney
saddled two horses and arrived here
about 1 a. M., without a shot being
fired.
MEXICAN MATTERS.
No
Export Duty Discriminating Against
American Capital.
" Washington,' May 24. Senor Ro
mero, Mexican . minister, said touay,
concerning the intention of Mexico
to decree an export duty discriminat
ing against the American capital in
vested in Mexican mining enterprises,
that he was not aware that such a bill
had been approved by the Mexican
congress, but that, as it was presented
by the executive, he believed that it is
very likely to be approved. Senor
Romero further said that the real ob-?
ject of the pending bill was to distrib
ute on tne whole mining industry ui
Mexico the very high duty now levied
upon the mining of silver. The pres
ent mining duty is 4.44 per cent. Senor
Romero further said that the real ob
ject of the new bill is to distribute
equally between au tne silver produc
ers of Mexico the present taxes which
now lie on some classes oi miners, and
that the imputation that it is a dis
criminating measure against American
capital invested in Mexico is utterly
without foundation.
JOHANN TRANQUTLINI DEAD.
He Was Present When Prince Rudolph
Was Killed
New York, May 24. Johann Tran
quilini is dead in the hospital of the
New York City asylum for the insane
on. Ward's island. Just before his
death he revealed the secret history of
the Crown Prince Rudolph's death at
Meyerling, January 30, 1889. Johann
Tranquilini, while he was no more
than an humble cab-driver, was the
intimate friend and boon companion of
Rudolph. For years all the royal frolics
were familiar to him. He it was who
drove the crown prince on all un
heralded excursions. Tranquilini
gained for himself a place in the world
of history when he drove the crown
prince to Meyerling the night of Ru
dolph's death. When the rumors of
the tragedy were whispered from mouth
to. ear in Vienna, it would, seem that
he was deemed uncertain as to. his si
lence. So, soon after the funeral, he
left Yienna and came to this country.
He seemed liberally provided with
money, .and for a time lived in lavish
extravagance among the Austrians of
the. city. His -claim was . .that the
prince was attacked by Baroness Vet
sere, who was in love with him. She
then turned, the revolver upon herself
and expired almost instantly. A count
who was her relative then dealt the
prince a mortal blow on his temple,
and the royal frolic broke up in wild
confusion. '
COSTA RICA INSULTED.
Affronts Offered That Country by Nle
' " eragna.
. New York, May 24. A special to
the World from San Jose, Costa Rl ca,
Nicaragua has been provoking this
country so presistently that war seems
inevitable. The government here sup
posed tne relations between the two
states were friendly until Nicaragua
flllddpnlv atnnnArl nil nnmmiininnt.inn
She went so far as to take away the
ieiegraun uuice ar, tne irontier, mere
by violating a treaty. This govern
ment sent several telegrams to the
Nicaraguan government, but the lat
ter refused to answer. When Great
Britain's ultimatum was received by
Nicaragua, Costa Rica offered to assist
in arranging matters peacefully. Nic
aragua did not deign to even return a
polite word of thanks.
President Iglesias is getting ready
to resist an invasion from Nicaragua,
but the array will not be called out
until circumstances force it. Only a
few men have been sent to watch the
border.
Nicaragua, it is reported here, has
several hundred men under arms ready
for an attack. The cabinet ministers
here wish no war, but if it must come
they claim to have better soldiers and
to be able to whip Nicaragua.
THE WOMEN TOOK PART.
Further
Particulars of
the Recent At-
tack on Lima
jnew YORK, may Zy. Advices re
ceivedfrom Panama are as follows:
lhe Lima correspondent of the Star
and Herald says:
In various parts of the city men and
women are said to have fought along
side tne revolutionary soldiers or nred
on the Cacerist troops from their
houses. This accounts for so many
women having lost their lives in the
attack on Lima. In one house the
Cacerists discovered some 400 rifles
and ammunition in consequence of the
imprudent enthusiasm of the wife of
an Indian who fired several shots at
the troops. In other sections of the
city women opened the doors and
pulled the wounded inside, passing
their rines and amn. unit ion out to the
insnrgent soldiers.
THE CUBAN MILITIA.
Members Ordered to Present Themselves
for Duty.
New York, May 27.-
A special
to
the Herald from Key West says:
The most important news received
by steamer last night shows dissatis
faction manifested by the inhabitants
of the island over the order of the
captain-general demanding military
service from them in the field to sup
press the insurrection. It is expected
that beiore the end of the week open
conflict win occur between the volun
teers and the authorities. General
Campos' order as published in the of
ficial organ, the Mnario ae Marina, re
quires that all men drafted in Spain
between the years 1892 and 1894, and
who are now" enrolled in the militia
throughout Cuba, shall present them
selves within eight days in order to be
assigned to regular regiments for
service in the interior. Those refusing
to appear are to be tried by court-
martial as deserters and shot. The
colonels of each regiment of volunteers
will be held responsible personally
for every man in his command.
The volunteers who have always con
sidered themselves a favored class,
now openly refuse to obey the orders.
Some insist that being enrolled in the
militia, exempts them from compul
sory service in the regular army,
others adopt the subterfuge that tney
will only serve in their own regiments
and under their present officers, and
will resist any attempt to deprive them
of their rights,
When it la considered" that many of
those included in ..General Campos'
order have attained the rank of captain
of militia since their arrival in Cuba,
and also that substitutes will not be
accepted, as heretofore, their protest
appears to be well grounded. Natural
ly these officers will have to serve as
privates.
several stormy interviews have been
reported between colonels of volun
teers and the authorities over the mat
ter. The former upheld their men in
tho stand they took, and the fact that
thoy represent the most prominent and
influential class on the island today
only complicates the situation.
It is declared If the order is not re
voked or modified, a general mutiny
will take place, and, as the volunteers
hold the key of the situation, a revival
of the scenes that took place in the '70s
will be re-enacted, Dodgers have
been circulated oalling on volunteers
to assemble in uniform. It is expected
that in the excited state of the Havana
citizens a riot will be the outcome.
WHEAT MARKET UNSETTLED.
It Opened
Excited and
Morning.
Higher This
Chicago, May 27. The wheat mark
et opened -excited and higher today,
and within a few minutes touched a
point only i of a cent-under top figures
during the recent boom. - Liverpool
was quoted at l-nwza nigner. frosts
were reported in Nebraska and Min
nesota Saturdry night and in parts of
Illinois last night, and renewed re
ports of crop damage were received
from Illinois and Indiana. Heavy
buying orders from the country added
to the bull feeling, as did the expecta
tion of a very heavy decrease of the
visible supply. On the other hand
the weather map showed the frost area
was restricted and there were areas ol
low barometer, indicating rains.
These last are an offset to bullish news
tended to unsettle the market. July
wheat opened with sales all the way
between 80c and 81ic, against 79c at
the close Saturday, sold at once to 81ic
dropped to 80ic, jumped to 81tc, broke
to 79ic and then grew nrm again.
Then with indications that the visible
supply would only show a decrease of
about 1,500,000 bushles, against esti
mates ranging from 2,000,000 to 3,500,
000, Saturday, the price of July wheat
broke to 79ic, or ic lower than Satur
day's closing, after having been 2ic
higher.
Corn did not follow wheat in its up
ward movement, chiefly on account of
enormous receipts. Oats started high
er with wheat.
Grangers, encouraged by their suc
cesses in bulling wheat and corn, seem
to have turned their attention to hog
products. Estimated receipts of live
hogs today were 44,000, many more
than was expected, consequently the
price of the animal was weak to 5 cents
lower.
A LIST OF ACCIDENTS.
Several Lives Thought to Be Lost In the
Recent Storm.
Astoria, May 27. Reports received
today from the fishing grounds near
the entrance to the river state that the
storm Saturday night was one of the
most severe that has occurred for sev- J
eral months. As the result several
lives have been lost and much damage
done to property. Sixteen boats, the
property of the Cutting Packing Com
pany, - were driven upon Chinook
beach, but it is believed the men wero
all saved. Another of the Cutting
Packing Company's boats, in charge
of J. Seaman, has been missing sev
eral days, and the men have been given
up as lost, Cutting's boat No. 54 was
capsized on Great Republic spit Sun
day morning, but the. Point Adams
lifesaving crew succeeded in rescuing
the men. The accident was the second
this season in which the captain of the
boat narrowly escaped drowning. Boat
No. 45, in charge of Victor Walrus,
and belonging to the same company,
capsized below Kinney's cannery Sat
urday, night, and the crew was carried
to Desdemona sands. There the men
succeeded in catching two trap poles
and held on until 1 a. M., when they
were rescued by two of Kinney's men.

had done. They would not jump, and
both were thrown over the bridge rail
ing at 3:4a. They dropped 3U leet and
death followed, both expired in fearful
convulsions. Their faces were not
covered. They hung side by side on
the east railing.
From midnight, when the crowd
first made its appearance at the jail
doors, until the victims were reached.
it was a desperate struggle ol a fren
zied mob battering against heavy oak
en doors and iron bars, occasionally
halted by the grim stand of the little
band of defenders under the command
of Sheriff Thompson.
A telegraph pole was used as a battering-ram.
At 2 o'clock' Sheriff
Thompson sent for Judge Book waiter,
of tho circuit court, who addressed the
crowd from the jail corridor. He
counseled peace and order, and for a
minute his words were heeded. Then
another desperate attempt was made
to reach the cells where the two men
were secreted. ' .
Finally Boyce was located, crouching
and shivering with tear. His cell door
was quickly battered down. A score
of hands dragged him unceremoniously
from his hiding place underneath the
wooden bench, which serves the pris
oners as a bed. He was hustled into
the dining-room and seated on a table.
A rope was placed over his head, and
while part of the mob kept close guard
oyer him the others continued their
search for Halls until he was discover
ed in another and more remote portion
of the jail.
The mob was composed oi a thousand
people, mostly farmers from near In
dianola, where Miss Barnett lived. In
jail, before being taken out, both boys
protested their innocence, although
identified by Miss Barnett's companion
yesterday at the jail. Boyce slowly
strangled, His . struggles.'- lasted--l 5
minutes. Miss Barnett, one of the
victims, hovers between life and death.

Sentenced to Two Tears at Hard Labor.
London, May 25. Oscar Wilde's I
trial having reached the final stage,
Old Bailey courtroom was filled with
interested spectators today. Sir Frank
Lockwood, solicitor-general, concluded
his address to the jury. The prisoner's
intimat-y with Lord Alfred Douglass
and the exhibition ol the younger man
by the elder one at hotels and public
places in and about London were se
verely commented upon. Referring
to the letters Wilde wrote Lord Alfred
Douglass, counsel said the jury had
been told they were too low to appre-
preoiatesuch poetry,' and he thanked
God it was so, as it showed they were
above the level of the beasts. This
was greeted with applause, which the
j?e promptly suppressed,
. Sir Edwai d Clarke, leading counsel
ior wuae, nere interposed oujocuoub
to such appeals.
Lock wood asked the lury to render a
verdict which would prevent such a
detestable and abominable vice from
rearing its head unblushingly in this
country.

Tillamook counties, and has not been
heard of since leaving Seaside. A set
tler from the lower Nehalem country
arrived in town today, and reported

lost himself in the woods. A search
ing party will probably be organized

get through the opening. How the
thing was accomplished is shrouded in
mystery. The officers are chasing

WEATHER REPORT.
In Eastern Oregon For the Week Ending
May 7. 18.
Weather General and heavy rains
have prevailed durino- tha nnat vaaIt
especially on Saturday and Sunday.
The heaviest rainfall occurred In
northwestern Umatilla county, where
it amonnts to 1 inches, from whence
it decreased in amount, westward in
The Dalles, where it amounts to only
0.15 of an Inch, and southward over
the Blue mountains; at Baker City
three-quarters of an inch fell and nvnr
an inch fell in the Grand Ronde val
ley; In Morrow, Gilliam and Sherman
counties nearly an inch has already.
fallen, and more will fall before the
present weather condition changes.
The temperature became cooler during
the past week; the maximum ranged
from 56 to 74 deerees. as atr&innt 70 tn
88 degrees of the week before; the
minimum ranged from 42 to 50 degrees
in the Columbia river valley, whiln tn
the south of the Blue mountains it
ranged from 28 to 52 deo-raoa: th
freezing temperature, 28 degrees, cm
curred on the 22d, which caused a kill
ing frost In Baker, Grant, Crook, Har
ney, Klamath, Lake and Malheur
counties. Clouds have prevailed dur
ing the past week, and the result haa
been a deficiency in the amount of
sunshine. The mountains of Morrow
and Grant countains were covered
with newly-fallen snow the moraine of
the 21st.
Crops The rainfall has been of the
greatest benefit to the grain crop, and '
Insure bounteous crops, barring possi
ble hot winds in June. The wheat
crop of a large portion , of several of
the counties is either spring sown or
volunteer; both require the best of
climatic conditions to produoe good
yields ; the year of 1894 had a- large
acreage of summer-fallowed grain gad
plowing is now in progress for summer
fallow this year again, hence the more
than ordinary anxiety for the success
of the grain crops this year and the
need of rainfall. Some correspondents
of Morrow county have reported poor
wheat prospects, but now since the
rain, the prospects have improved. In
Sherman, which Is almost all a wheat
county, wheat has an excellent out
look, and all are encouraged. The
grain crop is of more than average
condition in Wasco county, while in
were never better; . the same in the
Grand Ronde valley. Fall grain is

grain are growing finely. At the pres-

Umatilla County People Lost by
raol
Schnlse's Defalcations.
It appears that several Umatilla
county people will suffer loss by the
peculations of the late Paul Schulze,
. i i
says a renaieton paper. - car. ocnuize
was agent of the Northern . Pacific
Railway company in the land depart
ment,and to him Jesse Moor j remitted
a draft for nearly $200 in payment for
some railroad land he had purchased.
The draft was regularly drawn, sent,
cashed and returned through .the
proper channels, and Mr. Moore sup
posed his payment was recorded ' and
he had a corresponding credit on the
books of the land department oi tne
Northern Pacific. -
It has been discovered that the
money was appropriated to other uses,
and letters are passing between Mr.
Moore and Thomas Cooper, the recent
land agent. Mr. Cooper has sent a
letter requesting that the original
draft be sent for his personal examina
tion. ' .
Mr. Moore Is but one of several re
siding in Umatilla county who trans
mitted money to the Northern Pacific
when Paul Schulze was agent, and find
now they have no record of the matter
at' Tacoma. The probability Is that
thousands of dollars of shortage will
yet be dug up, and the total amount be
augmented enormously. -
Oregon Mills May Compete.
Representative Hermann has ob
tained valuable concessions from the
navv department in favor of Pacific
coast blanket manufacturers. Hereto
fore all contracts for blankets pur
chased for use on our naval vessels on
the Pacifio coast, and at the United
States navy yards at Mare island ana .
those to be used on the new war vessel
the Oregon, all provided a first class
delivery in JNew York, wmcn prac
tically gave a monopoly to. Eastern
woolen mills, mow Mr. tierman
makes protests in the name of the Ore
gon woolen mills aganist this dis
tinction, and has insisted that con
tracts should be let on terms permit
ting delivery at San Francisco, which
would favor the Pacific coast mills at
least to the cost of transportation,
which Is quite an Item. At the next
letting the department will change the
rule if Pacifio coast mills desire to bid.
The rule formerly required provisions
and stores for Pacifio naval uses to be
delivered in New York, but this was
changed a few years ago.
