LATE OUTRAGES
The Sufferings of the Benedictine
Sisters in Bahia de Cara
quez, Ecuador.
Death on the Rail Drowned In Tank-
Christians MassacredKilled in a
Train IVreck-.The Bannocks
Returning- Home.
Chicago, Aug. 2. The police have
at last obtained a partial confession
from Pat Quinlan, the janitor of the
Holmes "castle, "and have, they believe,
positive evidence that Benjamin F.
Pietzel was murdered in this city by
Holme?, and the corpse sent to Phila
delphia. The confession was wormed
out of Quinlan by means of a tip given
tne local emeers Dy .Detective tieyer.
of Philadelphia, who arrived here to
day. The exact nature of the story
told by the Quinlains the police will
not reveal, and, in fact, Chief Bade
noch and Inspector Fitzpatrick have
both denied that Quinlan or his wife
made any confession at all. Kotwith
standing the denial, however, it is
positively known that Quinlan made
and uigned a confession because it was
left where Quinlan's signature on the
document could be seen, although the
subject matter under which he wrote
his name could not be ascertained
Tonight, however, it was learned that
a confession was made covering all
details of the murder of Pietzel, with
the exception of the actual place where
the crime was committed. This the
police declare they will have to
morrow.
The confession was obtained from
the Quintans only after the hardest
kind of work and at the price of a
promise of immunity from punishment
for all part the yuiulans may have
borne in the murder of Pietzel or
other crimes committed by Holmes.
Mrs. Quinlan knew of the disappear
ance of Mrs. Connor in Holmes
'castle" and saw the body of the
woman after she was dead. She further
knew and has admitted that Pearl
Connor disappeared in the "castle"
after her return from a trip to the
Quinla" farm at Lakeview, Mich.
Chief Badenock took Mrs. Quinlan
and her husband to the "castle" today
with Irjnpector Fitzpatrick and Detec
tives Fitzpatrick and Norton. The
object of the trip was more for the
purpose of letting Quinlan and his
wife meet than any other.
FORCED TO LEAVE ECUADOR.
A Benedictine Sister Tells of Persecutions
They Endure.
New York, Aug. 2. The story of
the five Benedictine sisters, who re
turned from Ecuador to St. Walterg,
a convent in Elizabeth, having been
driven from Ecuador by the outrages
the church is at present being sub
jected to there by the liberal revolu
tionists, was investigated by a
reporter.
bister n.awarata, wno was seen at
the convent, said:
"We, nice the three sisters, liene-
vieve, Josephine and Frances, left for
Ecuador nearly eight years ago to
establish a school there. We were
assigned to Bahia de Caraquez, from1
which place we have jnst returned
giving up a school of over 70 pupils.
We, however, were more fortunate
than they were, and did not suffer
personal violence, although we were
constantly insulted and were often in
fear of our lives. Every band of
marauding revolutionists which passed
the convent cried 'Down with the
cassocks 1 They accused the church
of being friendly to the government:
two weens ago tne convent at
Rocafeurte, which contained 10 sisters,
was surrounded by a mob which de
manded - entrance. It was refused,
whereupon the leader commanded the
men to lire on the convent and its in
mates. At this moment a friendly
Ecuadorian appeared, and running
between the men and the convent,
directly in the line of fire, asked them
to desist, informing them that none
but women were there. - During the
delay thus caused a number our sym
pathizers gathered and dispersed the
mob.
"Such outrages became so frequent
that we at last felt compelled to leave
in order to save ovr lives, as has all
other sisters and l : in Ecuador.
Seventeen sisters are expected on the
next steamer, and no more missionary
work will ' be attempted ' in Ecuador
until the revolution is over."
Killed by a aV.-Un. -
Pendleton, Aug. 2. A young man
attempted to steal a ride on the break
beam of the passenger trail last night
at Umatilla, going to-var l Portland.
He failed to get a secure soat and was
dragged, holding to the brake rod.
He was picked up by the traimmen
nearly dead, and sent back to Pendle
ton this morning. His legs were
broken and crushed to a jelly by beat
ing on the ties, and his body was
burned by heat from friction. He
gave the name of J. B..Hunt. but died
on the train before giving further par
ticulars. It has been discovered by the offic
ials that he is the son of J. J. Hunt, a
well-to-do hotel-keeper of Port Towns
end. He was a youth of about twenty
years.

! rBOK THK HAT OF WAR.
Indians Are Returning to Their Beser
. j - ' vations. T, -.
Washington, . Aug. 2. The latest
news from General Coppioger received
at tLa war department vkheadquartert
at Omaha, Is reassuring. A dispatch
dated Omaha, yesterday, follows:
"A report was received from Market
Lake this morning which indicates
that the Indians are returning from
Jackson Hole by a straight line to
their reservations. To test the cor
rectness of this the Union Pacifit rail
way officers was asked to telegraph for
information to stations along the Ore
gon Short Line from Soda Springs
westward. The following reply is
from the division superintended! at
Pocatello.
" 'The stagedriver who has just
reached Soda Springs says he left Car
raboo this morning. He came through
the Gray's lake and Blackfoot river
countries. He reports 200 Bannocks
at Gray's lake on their way from Jack
son Hole to the reservation. They
say there has been no fighting, and no
desire to fight on their part. The
scare seems to be over, and the set
tlers understand that the Indians are
trying to make their way back to their
reservations to avoid the troops. This
information is thoroughly reliable.' "
RIOTS AT SPRING VALLEY.
Foreign Miners and Negroes Preparing
For Hostilities.
Chicago, Aug. 5.-?A special to the
Posf, from Spring Valley, 111., says:
Foreigners under the leadership of
Italians and negroes, who have con
centrated their forces at Seatonville,
are both organizing today and as the
towns are practically under mob law.
a aeaaiy conflict is anticipated.
JNon-H.ns'lisn speaKingr miners in
Spring Valley, to the number of 2000,
held a mass meeting today and passed
a resolution that no negroes, men.
women or invalids be allowed to re
main inside the city limits after 5
o'clock tomorrow evening. Speeches
of the most inflammatory nature were
made, advocating the immediate open
ing up oi hostilities.
ine negroes at seatonville held a
meeting-later and organized for active
service, uereau county has 3UU re
peating Winchester rifles stored in the
courthouse at Princeton for the protec
tion oi citizens, and an effort will be
made to secure these. Should this fail
men will arm themselves with shotguns
and rifles and small arms and make an
effort to regain their homes and house
hold goods. The negroesalso passed a
resolution that they would continue to
worn in tneaprinir valley mines until
discharged by the coal company. As
the police and sheriff are making no
effort to arrest the rioters the lawless
ness is increasing.
in addition to the negroes reported
injured in yesterday's conflict. Wash
ington Anderson. Arach Fleming, Sam
Johnson and Lewis Martin are missing.
It is the opiuion that two at least are
lying dead in the woods, as farmers re
port having seen their bodies.
CIRCULAR FROM DEBS.
He Says the American Railway Union Is
Growing Daily.
TERRE Hute. Ind., Aug. 5. A cir
cular from President Eugene V. Debs,
of the American Railway Uuion, is
being sent out from the headquarters
here. It is addressed to the local
unions. In the introduction President
Debs says the union is growing daily
and that all doubt has been dispelled
as to its permanent character. Unions
that were believed to be dead have
arisen as by magic.
The three months' sentence which
the directors are serving will expire
August 22, and on that day they will
renew their official duties.
The president serves a six months'
sentence which does not expire until
November 22, when he will join the
rest in the campaign, in the interest
of labor. He concurs in the recom
mendation of Master Workman Sov
ereicrn, that labor day, September 2
be "dedicated to a solemn and mighty
protest against the unconstitutional
and un-American decisison of the
federal courts, by virtue of which trial
by jury has been abrogated and civil
liberty bludgeoned to death."
The latter hall ol the circular is de
voted to an attack on the old brother
hoods. He says they are disgraced or
dead, or both.
FOSTI-TWO WOUNDS.
Autopsy
Held Upon the Assassinated
Mexican Editor.
CITY OP Mexico, Aug. 5. An au
topsy has been held upon the body of
Jesus Olmosy Contros, the congress
man and journalist, who was assassin
ated in Puebla. It revealed the fact
that he had been stabbed 42 times in
the chest, and would probably have
been stabbed oftener had not one of
the daggers been broken, the blade
remaining imbedded in the muscles.
The heart was penetrated twice by a
weapon wielded by a very -strong hand
and with sure aim. Other stabs might
apparently have been done by blind
men, so wild was their direction.
Nothing at present is known as to
the authors of the deed, but indications
show clearly that it was an act of
private vengeance, done by men who
so timed their crime as to elude the
vigilance of two policemen who were
in the neighborhood of the street where
the body was found. Both officers have
stated that they neither saw nor heard
anything unusual during the night.
REBELS DISPERSED.
Insurgents Fared Badly In Recent En.
counters.
Havana, Aug. 5. Lieutenant
ColonerMolina, at the head of a force
of auxiliary troops, in a skirmish today
with the insurgents commanded by
the well-know leader, Malagas, - at
Sabana Torres, near Rosario Vieji, in
the province of Santa Clara, dispersed
them. The insurgents left four dead
and had many wounded. Among the
killed was Captain Jose Reyes Candera,
whose body was fully identified. On
the side of the troops one corporal and
one guerilla was seriously wounded.
Lieutenant Ruiz, at the head of a
squadron of cavalry, has had a brush
with the insurgent .band commanded
by Botonos at Seborucal, province of
Santa Clara. The insurgents lost
three killed and had eight wounded.
Captain Canada? exchanged shots
with the insurgents commanded by
Bermudez and Numez. The insurgents
had five wounded.
Attempted Violence.
San Francisco, Aug. 5. The first
attempt to do violence to Theodore
Durrant. on trial for the murder of
Blanche Lamont, since his incarcera
tion was made today as the defendant
was leaving the court room. The pris
oner was in the custody of the chief
jailer, when a wild-looking young man
rushed from the crowd towards Dur
rant, with the evident intention of as
saulting him. The jailer threw him
off before he could reach Durrant, and
the assailant then tried to draw his
pistol. He was seized by two deputy
sheriffs before he could aim his
weapon. It is believed that the assail
ant was insane.- A seventh juror to
try Durrant was secured at the morn
ing session of the court in the person
of H. J. Smyth, a retired farmer.

Sprague, Wash., Aug. 3. The
entire business portion of Sprague is
in ashes, hundreds are homeless to
nig-ht, and the losses will aggregate
i,2ou,otw. rne town is almost desti
tute of food, and Mayor Sanderson has
sent messages to the leading cities ap
plying lor aid. The people are ap

will be several flays before they will
Know whether to try to rebuild the
city or not.
At noon today the nre alarm -was
sounded for a blaze in Bryant's chop
ano ieeo mm, corner ot Kaiiroad ave
nue and U street. . The department
responded promptly, but the blaze was
quickly tanned into a roaring furnace,
and the fire boys were driven back
from the scene almost as soon as they
arrived, with lightning rapidity the
flames leaped from one building to
another, and inside of five minutes it
was seen that the entire town was
tereatened.
As the flames reached the corner of
G street they forked, one branch going
nortn ot the railroad track and con
suming on its way the Northern Pacific
grain warehouse, the National hotel,
and the entire row of wooden buildings
to the corner of B street. There it
turned off to the Pacific hotel, and
the row of wooden buildings in the rear
of it. From there it jumped to the old
headquarters building, and Porak's
brewery, totally destroying the latter
and the proprietor's residence.
Meanwhile, the southern fork, with
equal rapidity, consumed the build
ings on Railroad avenue, r iret and
Second streets, including the Com
mercial hotel, the Herbring opera
house, the city hall, R. Newman &
Co.'s and the Masonic hall. From
there the flames leaped to the buildings
west of the carshops, and in another
minute they burst forth in flames. It
was impossible to do anything to save
the railroad buildings, for the water
pipes had bursted in that part of the
city.
rive minutes later a terrible ex
plosion accurred as the oil tanks
bursted and the timbers and flames
rose high in the air.
The fire was checked on the west
side by the brick buildings of the
Frst National' bank and of Jensen,
King & Co., the occupants of these
buildings placing wet blankets ovr
windows and fighting the flames des
perately. Mayor Sanderson at this time ar
rived from Medical Lake, and ordered
the building of Ben Ettleson, on the
corner of C and Frst streets, blown up
with dvnamite. This was done, and
the entire row of business houses on C
street, between Frst and Second, was
saved.
The flames here took a southeasterly
direction and destroyed the drug store
of W. F. .Putnam, the Masonic ball
the county jail, the old opera house,
the residences of R. R. Jones and E.
H. Stanton. The flames were at this
point checked by the blowing up with
dynamite of the old opera house and
the row of trees in front of H. W,
Bonnes' residence, and the deluge of
water.
The fire swept east as far as the
stockyards, completely obliterating in
its course every residence and business
house in that part of the city.- Fully
AZO acres of land were burned over,
every building thereon being com
pletely wiped out.
Archie Mocintosh, a blacksmith,
was knocked down by falling timbers
and betore he could be rescued was
severely burned about the face, neck
and arms. James Montgomery broke
his leg in jumping from one of the en
gines on the turntable. Charles Moore,
a member of the hre department,
stepped into a hole, back of the round
house, and sprained his ankle so badly
that he had to be carried away.
The prisoners in the county jail were
released when the fire was about one
block away, and they did excellent
work in assisting the neighboring
business houses to take their goods to
a place of safety, but after the fire was
under control they disappeared. -
Sphague, Aug. 4. Sunday In
Sprague has been a day of unceasing
labor, instead of rest. All day long
throngs of people have been upon the
streets viewing the scene of yesterday's
awful conflagration. No new fires
were started today, but-all over the
burned districts the embers of yester
day were still smoking, -nd in many
places the fire had not diminished to
any great extent. The coal bunkers
of the Northern Pacific railroad are
still burning at a lively rate, and the
indications are that the fire may last
for several days, for many hundreds of
tons ot coal lay in the burning neap.
The forenoon was passed in tearing
down dangerous walls and in remov
ing every structure which might pos
sibly cause an accident. At 4 o'clock
this morning a iracn nas oeen iaia
around the ruins and the passenger
and freight trains have been running
the same as usual today. Everything
in the shape of a house belonging to
the Northern Pacific which would burn
was burned, besides 24 engines and
about 59 freight cars. Very few of the
cars were loaded, the principal part of
them being cars which were under
going repairs at the shops.1
Everv available building left stand
ing in the city is in use, and many
families are living in tents. The more
fortunate are rendering every, means
that lies in their power to their less
fortunate neighbors, and in some in
stances one roof is covering several
families.
While many persons and families
lost everything they owned in the fire,
no cases of suffering have yet been re
ported. Thankato the good people of
Spokane and neighboring towns, a
good supply of provisions arrived in
the city last night, and were distri
buted today among the people known
to be the most needy. The mayor re
ceived messages from Tacoma and
elsewhere today, Insuring such aid as
was in their power to give, which will
be most thankfully received.
It is now estimated that the loss will
reach 81,500,000, w'thonly about $60,
000 insurance outside of the railroad
company.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany was the largest loser. Its losses
will aggregate $700,800.
THE KU CHENO MASSACRE.
Ten British Missionaries Killed, But no
" Americans Hurt.
Washington, Aug. 4. The state
department today received later in
telligence of the killing of the mis
sionaries in Ku Cheng. China. The
dispatch, like the one received yester-
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. a. Gov't Report
ABSOLUTELY PURE
day, was from Consul-General Join!
gan, and shows that no Americans
suffered, but that the massacre of
British subjects was greater than at
first reported. The consul-general's
dispatch is as follows:
"The Americans are all safe; none
hurt. Ten British were killed." "
Although Mr. Joinigan does not use
the word "missionaries" in the dis
patch, there is no doubt felt by the
officials of the state department that it
relers to them, and that bis dispatch
is intended as suplementary to that of
yesterday. The cablegram was at once
forwarded to Secretary Ciney, at bis
summer home, for his information.
Some of the Horrible Details.
London, Aug. 4. A Shanghai dis
patch to the Time says . the mission
and sanitarium at Wha sang, near
Ku Che-g, pr evince of Fokein, has
been attacked and the subjects killed.
The Rev. Mr. Stuart, wife and child
were burned in their house. The
Misses Yellow and Marshall, two sis
ters named Saunders, two sisters
named Gordon and Steetie Newcombe,
were murdered with speara and
swords. Miss Cordington was seri
ously wounded about the head and
Stuart's eldest ehild had a kneecap
badly injured, while the youngest had
an eye gouged out. The Kev. Mr,
Phillips, with two Americans. Dr.
Gregory and Miss Hartford, were both
wounded, but arrived safely at ru
Chan Fu. The perfect of Cheng Fu
who was on the inquiry commission, is
seriously implicated in the Uheng t'a
outrages.
SITUATION IN ARMENIA.
The Condition of the Natives Said to Be
Worse than Ever.
LONDON, Aug. 5. The Daxlti Nem
has advices dated Armenia, July 29,
which says: The condition or tne
Armenians is worse than ever. They
regard Shakir Pasha as their worst
enemy and his appointment as a con
temptuous defiance of Europe's de
mand. Deliberate persecution,
slaughter and pillage of the Armenians
are pursued today with the same ruth
less vigor and nendish ingenuity as in
former years. Every day news ar
rives of fresh murders, wholesale im-
prisoment and pillages. The authori
ties in the great towns from time to
time march heavily-manacled gangs of
limping and wounded Armenians
prisoners through the streets. If the
sultan is courting revolution he will
surely have his way. Unless the per
secution is stopped the country will
soon be in such a blaze that nothing
short of Russian occupation will ex
tinguish it.
Five Persons Drowned,
NEW YORK, Aug. 5. Several severe
squalls, accompanied by lightning and
great downpour of rain, struck this
city and surrounding territory last

the capsizlug of a yacht at the Nar
rows. Two adults and one child were
drowned in the East river, and a trol
ley-car in the annexed district was
struck bv lightning, half a dozen per
sons being injured. It is feared that a
number of accidents to boating parties
will yet be reported.
The Ku Cheng Massacre.
Shanghai. Aug. 5. At a crowded
meeting today of European residents
of this city, speeches condemning the
action of the Chinese authorities in
the case of the massacre of mission
aries at Whai Han, near Ku Cheng,
Thursday last, were made and a resoiu-
tion was adopted to appeal directly to
European governments against the
outrages. The resolution also referred
to the inadequate manner in which
China had dealt with perpetrators of
former outrages.

Our correspondent at The Dallea
writes: "All kinds of fruit are in a
No. 1 condition; apples are nearly, If
not quite, free from codlin moth and '
are large acd nice for export; fruit
pests have practically been destroyed
through the agency of the spray
pump." Peaches, apricots, apples,
plums and prunes are verv o-ood crons
and of superior quality. In many sec
tions the new orchards have com
menced to bear; this is especially so In
Union county, and in that county the
fruit crop is placed slightly below the "
average, with the exception of the
prune crop, which will mature a fall
yield. Peach plums are ripening and
are in market. The Wallowa county
grape promises a good crop. Owing ,
to the drouth complaints coma from
some sections of fruit falling to ma
ture and falling from the trees. - In
Malheur county .the shipments ot fruit
are lighter than they are in other sec
tions. It is likely in this county the
home demand will consume most of
the crop. While fruit pests are pres
ent in all sections, it is generally con
ceded that they have been' materially
reduced and fruit has not materially
suffered by them. The cherry crop
has been harvested. In Wasco county
the fruitgrowers are setting out many
strawberry plants; the acreage of
strawberries will be frreatly increased.
Wheat, oats and barley are being
harvested with progress, and many
fields are completed. Harvest of serin?
grain will soon commence, but In
many sections of Umatilla. Morrow
and in sections south of the Blue
mountains spring grain, If cut at all,
will be used for hay. The Walla
Walla valley and portions of Wasco
and Sherman counties will produce ex
cellent yields of good Quality. In
other sections of the Columbia river
valley there will be much small grain
and some badly shriveled. So far
there has not been a great amount of
threshing done. In all of the streams
the water is lower than is usual at this
time in the season. Pastures are still
drying and grass is becoming scarce;
for this reason stock is gett.ng thin.
Grasshoppers are still numerous and
destructive.
. WARM SPRINOS.
The New School at The Agency Indian
Affairs, Crops, Etc
Mr. W. J. Carter, superintendent of
the Indian school at Warm Springs
reservation, gave the T. M. office an
agreeable call today. There are 150
children on the reservation of school
oge, but the school will accommodate
only 60. A new building is being
erected at Warm Springs, which will
be large enough to accomodate all.
The material is on the ground and the
foundation is being prepared; but it
will be nearly a year before the build
ing will be ready for occupancy. At
present the school Is at SImnasho,
about twenty miles from the agency.
When the structure Is completed the
school at Simnasho ' will be discontin
ued, and the building at Warm Springs .
will be the only one used ior school
purposes. The United Presbyterians,
who have a church at Simnasho, and a
resident missionary, objected very
strongly against the removal of the
school; but th department took action
without consulting the missionary au
thorities. Simnasho is on the north
side of the reservation and the agency
is on the south side; but the business
is transacted at the latter place, and
for this reason the new school building
will be more available.
Crickets have created great havoo
with grain in the northern part of the
reservation: but the pests cannot cross
the Warm Springs river, and for this
reason farms in the vicinity of the
agency are free from the scourge. The
crops harvested this year will be very
light. -
Lieut Farber, of the Eight Cavalry,
is now the resident agent on the reser
vation, and he has been very success
ful in the management of the Indians.
He has almost completely oroicen up
the habit of promiscuous living togeth
er of the sexes, and in every instance
brought to his knowledge he forces
them to be married or to separata. A
violation of this order he punishes by
imprisonment, and this ham had a salu
tary effect upon tne morais oi tne peo
nla. The marriage relation Is re
spected, and the Indiana are becoming
to understand its sancity the same as
their white neighbors. The Warm
Spring Indians have always been true
friends to the white people, and It la
right that all should take an interest
in their welfare.
