Fighting In Formosa.
London. May 31. A special to the
Times from Hone Kong today confirms
the news contained in the Associated
Press dispatches last night from Hong
Kong that hostilities between the
Japanese and Chinese republicans on
the island of Formosa have com
menced. According to the Times' dis
patch, the Japanese forces landed at
Kee Lung, in the extreme north of the
island, yesterday, and fighting between
them and the Chinese has commenced.
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
One Hundred and Eighty-Seven Persons
Drowned.
City op Mexico, May 31. The to
tal number of drowned from the Colima
wreck, off the coast of Manzanillo, is
now known to be 187 persons. Five
more have been rescued from the
wreck, making the total number of liv
ing 26.
The ship carried 213 persons, and to
all appearances and these were all
drowned with the exception of 26. The
living will be sent north as soon as
possible, and 17 have already taken
passage for San Francisco. ' The ac
cident is the most frightful in its loss
of life which has ever occurred in
Mexican waters, and the Colima is a
complete loss, unless some of its cargo
can be recovered by divers, which will
probably be attempted. The ship was
one of the largest and strongest of the
Pacific Mall fine between San Fran
cisco and Panama, and was sunk by
striking a coral reef in a dense fog.
. THE FORMOSAN REBELLION.
Dissension Between Promoters of the
. ' Republic.
London, May 31. The Times pub
lished a dispatch from Hong Kong
giving details regarding the trouble
on the island of Formosa.. They show
that the action which resulted in the
Island declaring itself a republic was
prompted by the Chang Tai Chong
party, as opposed to the Li family.
General Tcheng has been appointed
foreign minister, and Ky Sing Kuk,
the originator of the movement, has
been suppressed by Tang. Dissensions
have already occurred, and the com
mon people, it is said, regard the re
publican declaration as an officeal
joke.
A petition has been forwarded to
Pekin from South China praying the
emperor to introduce constitutional
reform; to remove incapable officials;
to abolish the queue and foot bindings,
and allow freedom - of speech and of
the press. The petition advocates re
form on western lines.
THS NEIGHBOR'S CAT.
It was tha Cans of Mrs. - Tolles
Being
Peppered with Shot. r -
RoSEBURO, Or., May 31. Mrs Fred
Tolles, living near the fair grounds,
a mile and a half east of Roseburg, was
shot last night about 9 o'clock in the
back, between the shoulders, with a
shotgun, the shot lodging In the left
shoulder. The particulars, so far as
obtained, are as follows: - -
' The Toll us and a family named
Bridges are neighbors. Bridges, who
had been away with cattle for several
da vs. returned late last night. - His
wife told him that Mr, Tolles had killed
their cat in Bridges' field while he was
away, claiming it killed chickens,
Bridges immediately went over to
i ones' nouse and tney quarreled.
Tolles called to his boy to bring the
shotgun, which he did. Bridges claims
tnat roues had tne gun across his
breast, and that he (Bridges) held the
barrel and stock of the gun, being be
hind Tolles, when both barrels were
discharged, one load striking Mrs.
Tolles, who had come into the yard.
Whereupon Bridges knocked Tolles
down and started for borne, after which
Tolles fired three shots at him from a
rifle. Bridges gave $1000 bail for his
appearance before Justice Hamlin to
morrow afternoon.
The doctors removed several shot
from Mrs. Tolles' shoulder this after
noon. She is not as seriously injured
as was at nrst supposed.

Preparing For War.

says it is the general opinion that it
will be difficult to avoid war with Nic
aragua. Public opinion seems to
favor war. Military preparations con
tinue. A RUSH OF WATER.
The Destruction Wrought in Medicine
VaUey,
Omaha, June 3. A special to the
Bee from Curtis, Neb., says: Curtis
lake burst from its banks late yester
day afternoon and the volume of water
released carried destruction through
Medicine valley. The lake covered
100 acres, and was constructed as an
irrigation reservoir and incidentally
to furnish power to the Curtis roller
mills. An enormous dam was built
across the mouth of Wilde canyon,
where it intercepts Medicine river at
this point, and all water drained from
the territory to the north, some 30
square miles, was confined in the arti
ficial basin.
The enormous flood that has passed
into the lake during the past five days
was too heavy for the dam. She first
Intimation the Curtis citizens had that
the locality was threatened with dis
aster was when the banks of the lake
burst with a roar that could be heard
several miles, and a wall of water 10
feet high rushed down the valley, car
rying everything in its path. Houses,
freight cars, stock and mountain
debries were caught up and dashed
about like feathers. The fine roller
mills, which occupied the east side of
the great ravine, received the nrst
shock of the torrent and the buildings
were almost ruined. The -damage in
thissidirection alone is estimated at
A few hundred yards below the mills
Medicine river passes under the rail
road tracks of the Burlington. When
the flood struck this narrow defile
progress was checked, but only for an
instant. . Then the heavy embankment
gave way and a wall of water rushed
through cutting a path 100 yards wide.
A-number of freight cars standing on
the tarcks close to the point under
minded, were precipitated into the
water and carried down stream like
straws, The railroad company's loss
is about $25,000.
As the wail of water - passed beyond
the city it rapidly spread out over an
immense territory and its powers of
destruction were correspondingly de
creased. The damage, however, was
merely shifted as the extensive alfalfa
meadows for many miles to the south
were flooded, by several feet of water,
and fears are entertained that the crop
will be permanently destroyed.
All details from the south where tne
torrent passed indicate very extensive
damage, Farm products of every de
scription were engulfed, and in many '
instances where the homes of farmers
were in the immediate vicinity of the
valley, the disaster was almost ruinous.
Small buildings were swept away or
undermined in such manner as to be
rendered worthless, and in some
sections the water rose so rapidly as to
seriously menace the lives' of families.
No loss of life thus far has been re
ported. Twenty miles to the south,
where Medicine valley is confined to a
small space, it is believed the damage
will be heaviest.
HUDSON BAT RAILROAD
Will be a Formidable '.Competitor of the
Canadian.
St. Paul. June 3. President Hugh
Sutherland, of the Hudson bay road, is
in the city conferring with Foley
Bros., the contractors associated with
Donaid Grant in the construction,
which is to begin immediately. The
surveying is complete, he said, and the
grading will begin today at a point
near uiaastone, on tne xviamuioa auu
Northwestern line, 50 miles northwest
of Winnipeg. One hundred and
twenty-five miles will be completed
this season. The route is from Winni
peg, 650 miles to Hudson bay, running
In a northwesterly direction to the
mouth of the Saskatchewan, and from
there direct to Port Nelson. The
water route Is from Port Nelson to
Liverpool, across the strait and along
the same line as the Dominion
steamers.
The railroad will be 1000 miles
shorter than that of the Canadian Pa
cific or any other transcontinental
route, and the sea voyages will be 300
shorter than via New York. St. Paul
will be nearer Liverpool by 500 miles
than via New York. The rail dis
tance to New York from bt. faui is
1300 miles, while to Port Nelson it
will be but 1100 miles. A fleet will be
put on as soon as the railroad is com
pleted. The main line will be com
pleted in two years, and will be oper
ated in three years.
Disciplining the Hawaiian Army.
Indianapolis, June 1. A private
letter from Honolulu, under, date oi
May 20, printed in the Hews today,
says, among other things, that Mc
Lane, late of the United States army
and navy, who had charge of General
Grant s iunerai procession, nas oeva
made colonel of a Hawaiian regiment.
He arrived on the last boat and took
charge -at once. He Is regarded by
the troops as thoroughly military, and
has made some radical changes and
inaugurated a course of strict discip
line, which has heretofore been rather
lax. The letter adds that there are lots
of rumors afloat on the island of a fili
bustering expedition that Is supposed
to be on its way down to the island, or
else getting ready to come. The
government has hired a steamer,
Dlaced a cannon on board, and has it
patrol around the islands watching
J for any suspicious vessels that come in
' sight.

San Francisco, June 1. Another
diabolical crime, bearing some resem
blance to the horrible tragedy of
Emanuel church, was unearthed this
afternoon by the discovery that Miss
Nellie Harrington, aged 35, who occu
pied an upper flat at 1017 Ellis street,
had been outraged and murdered in
her bedroom. The door was locked
and her clothing and the furniture of
the apartment then set on fire. All
the drawers and boxes in the room
were open and had been ransacked,
several articles of jewelry and her
purse having been stolen. Several
lodgers occupied rooms in the flat, but
none saw strangers about or heard any
unusual sounds. Attention was first
attracted by smoke issuing from Miss
Harrington's rooms. When her door
was broken open, the bedding piled in
the center of the room was found to be
on fire, and beneath the smouldering
clothes was the blood-stained body of
Miss Harrington. The lower part of
the body was badly burned, but the
face had . escaped the flames. The
murder was particularly brutal. Stab
wounds were found all over the un
fortunate woman's body .and on her
face, and her jaw was broken. The
theory of the police is that while the
tniei was in tne room miss Harrington
entered. The man then murdered and
assaulted her, set fire to the bedding
to conoeal the crime, and after looting
the room escaped, locking the door
and carrying off the key

Inatead of Abating, the Torrldlty In
creased In Intensity'.
New York, June " 1. Instead of
abating, the torridity, which came up
on the city Thursday, increased today,
and to this discomfort was added a
greater degree oi humidity than had
prevailed during the preceding days.
There was a difference of about eight
degrees in the readings of the signal
office thermometers In the tower of
tall Manhattan buildings and instru
ments on the street s level, so that
when, at noon, the official record was
91 deg., and when, at 1 o'clock, the.
signal office reported 94 deg., people
on the streets were confronted witn
the figures 104. There was a brisk
shower about 4:30 P. M., accompanied
by lightning and thunder, but this
brought no relief from the heat. To
night up to 12 o'clock has been hot and
close. Numerous prostrations are re
ported, some of which are likely to
result fatally. The lorecast is lor con
tinued higher temperature.

Official Statement From the Former Re
garding the Controversy.
New York, June 3. Important offi
cial news retrardintr the controversy be
tween England and Venezuela has
just reached this city, and is made pub-
1 : .1 v. r i f i
book. This volume is the report of
the minister of foreign affairs to the
national government, and corresponds
with the annual report of our state de
partment. It contains full details of
Venezuela's attitude toward England's
movement in Uuiana. Referring to
the boundary controversy it first calls
attention to the fact that congress has
done its utmost to bring the question
to arbitration, and in fact has even
gone so far as to request England to
settle the dispute in this way. It also
states that the press of Venezuela and
all English corporations doing busi
ness there have also endeavored to
bring about the same end. Even the
pope has interested himBelf in the con
troversy and offered his friendly ser
vices. The report closes with - the
significant words, after having ex
plained all the measures taken by the
present government in this important
matter from the day ot its inaugura
tion: -
'The English have not advanced one
step into the territory of the republic,
and it is impossible for them to do so
without colliding with the Venezuelan
authorities."

Syria, under the date of May 7, con
tains the following Important state
ment: The two United Strtes men-of-war
that came here created quite a
stir. Only one, the Marblehed, came
to Beyrout, but she met the San Fran
cisco at Alexandria and the admiral on
board the San Francisco sent for the
Turkish pasha to oome down from
Adana to Mereine to meet him, and
gave him a very plain talking to about
showing proper respect for American
citizens. Admiral Kirkland is a big,
bluff, old fellow, iust the one to bull
doze the Turks, and he did it in style.
The Turkj have been quite. naty up
there oi late. ...
A great impression was created In
Beyrout, too. . People here had fears
of a massacre by the Moslems, and
tbougbt the arrival, or tne frigate
prevented it.
The Destruction at Kane.
Kane, Pa., June 3. Never before
has this place been threatened with so
much destruction as today. -Forests
have been on fire since Sunday and all
efforts to check the names have proved
unavailing. This afternoon at 3
o'clock the fire had ipread greatly.

that the fighters were driven back, and
the people began to leave their houses
for places of safety. Everett Spring is
dried up, and the place is at the mercy
of the flames.- The flames are now in
the oil field, and have burned the oil
well rigs owned by the urimtn com
pany. The Union Oil company has

MALONEY-SNELLING ACQUITTED. ..
Interesting Features Connected With too
Verdict.
At 11 o'clock on Saturday night,
after about three houra' deliberation, "
the jury in the case of Dan Maloney
and Chas. Snelling, charged with the
theft of several horses, returned ver
dict of not guilty. When the finding
of the jury was announced the large
crowd in the court room burst into ap
plause, but Judge Bradahaw quickly
suppressed the indecorous outburst.
Maloney's aged mother, together
with other feminine relatives of both
of the defendants, occupied a chair
within the rail, and, when the verdict
was announced, was nearly overcome
with joy. Throughout the heargin
she had been the victim of varying
emotions, and its termination was to
her a happy relief.
The jury took five ballots. On the
first eight voted for aoauittal and four
for conviction. On the second ten
were in favor of acquittal. On the
third only nine voices were raised in
favor of the prisoners, one juryman
having altered his judgment. On the
fourth ballot, however, eleven clam
ored for acquittal, and when the roll '
was called foi the fifth time the twelve
men were found to be unanimous.
After court had been dismissed one
of the jurors . felicitated himself on
having saved to the taxpayers of
Wasco county the cost of a third trial
of -the case by voting for aoqulttaL
The verdict appears to be generally
satisfactory. .
. Tha Fleschhuts-Frlts Nuptials.
A very pretty wedding occurred at
534 Morrison street Portland on June
1st. The contracting parties were
MissSda C. Fritz, of The Dalles, and
Mr. John C. Fleschhuti, of Portland. .
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
B. Orth, of St. Lawrenoe church.
The bridal couple took position under
a beautiful floral wedding bell of white
carnations and pink rosebuds. They
were attended oy miss Margaret Kelly,
of Portland, and Mr. Chas. Fritz, of
The Dalles.
The bride was a picture of loveliness.
She was gowned in pearl grey and
lace, and wore a handsome white hat.
She carried bride roses. The brides
maid was attired in white mull and
carried La France roses. The decora
tions were very artistic and reflected
credit on the decorator. Dainty re-
iresnments were -served.- Xhe family
and a few immediate friends were pres
ent. At a late hour the guests de
parted, wishing the young couple long
life and much prosperity.
The Microbe in a New Role.
Microbes as a class have been so
roundly abused that the discovery of
the fact that we can not altogether
get along without them induces a cer
tain sense of satisfaction.. - A Russian
professor hf been taking groat
trouble to determine the value of nat
ural funotions. ' He ' fed animals on
food that had been carefully sterilized.
and cuuipcllcd thetn to breathe germ-
less air. me experiments proved that
the presence oj microbes is necessary
to - digestion. The' animals soon
showed the effect . of the deprivation. -First,
they began to droop, then lost
their appetite, and finally weakened
and died. It was found that the food
simply would not assimilate when the
microbes were absent. This series of
experiments has been extended to the
vegetable world. It is now proved
that certain plants can only assimilate
the nitrogen which is necessary to
their growth through the action of the
microbes that live at their roots. -
The Bedmen's Excursion.
Four carloads of happy people en
joyed the Sunday excursion of the Red
