The President Said to be Preparing
fori
Possible Burst With Spain,
the
Latter Hustling to pay the
Mora Claim.
San Francisco, Sept. 13. Dr. Ru
pert Blue, of the United States marine
service here, received two letters this
morning: from his brother, Victor
time, who is an ensign on the United
States steamship Bennington, now sta
tioned at Honolulu, in one letter,
bearing date of August 23, Ensign
Blue states that cholera broke out in
the islands two weeks previously, and
that it was constantly on the increase.
The death rate daily was six, and of
all who contracted the dread disease,
only one escaped with his life.
September J, two days before the
sailing of the Mariposa, Ensign Blue
wrote again. He stated that six more
were down with tne disease on the
Bennington, and that one sailor had
died. The other men were doing well,
but the ship's surgeon feared the epi
demic had scarcely begun. He made
a careful microscopic examination of
the excretion of the patients, and p' a-
nounced it to be a virulent type -of
Asiatic cnoiera. rne ensign lurtner
said:
"We all felt very blue at the pros
pect. The excitement is intense, and
it is not to be wondered at, for the dis
eade is spreading with alarming rapid'
ltv. The Bennington has left her an
chorage off Honolulu, and gone south
ward 100 miles. We will return once a
week after mail and orders. In one
day 35 cases were reported at Hono
lulu, and nearly every one resulted
fatally. I hope to be able to give you
better news when I next write, but I
fear I will not be so fortunate."
Dr. Blue states that the United
States authorities will assist the state
and local officers in preventing the en
trance of the disease into this country
He thought this could be acconplished
by exercising diligence.
SURPRISE IN WASHINGTON
Thought to be an Attempt to.
Force
Another Bond Issue.
Washington, Sept. 13. The news
that $4,500,000 had been withdrawn
today from the subtreasury at New
York for export, was received here
with surprise, and the announcement
created for a moment something like a
sensation in the treasurery depart
ment. This feeling, however, was not
shared by the high officials, who ap
parently reerard the withdrawl as in
cident to the speculative spirit that
seems to prevail. By .the same officials
Wns
uuutucr uuuu idouo. xu i;tu ua bmiuou.
however, on excellent authority, that
! there will not bo another issue ol
bonds and none will be needed. Those
cosrnizant of the facts state that the
Morgan-Belmont syndicate under the
terms of the contract undoubtedly will
protect the gold reserve against the
inroads of speculators, and will see to
it that a reasonable balance is main
tained. No doubt is expressed that as
soon as grain shipments from the
Northwest come in there will be an
abundant supply of foreign bills on
the market to meet every demand and
the withdrawla, it is thought, must
necessarily cease.
WAB CLOUDS APPEAR. . ..
Hostilities Between America and Spain
' Believed Possible.
Chicago, Sept. 13. A special from
Washington says:
'information as to tne recent secret
work in the navy, department has
leaked out, and the result is sufficient
to justify the belief that President
Cleveland is meditating' seriously the'
possibility of hostilities between Spain
ture.
'Whether the dispatch is due to a
desire to recoemize the Cubans as bel
ligerents or an intention to be in a po-j
Biuun tu eniurce tuo luurtt uituw is un
certain, but it cannot be denied that
the state and 'navy departments have
been unusually active in the last few
weeks. Certain branches of the navy
department are now devoting their at
tention to the Cuban matter almost
exclusivelv.
'Acting under recent orders from
Secretary Herbert, some of the officers
have been working extra time secur
ing data, the character of which is
such as to indicate that the president
and Secretary Olney see the necessity
of preparing for active intervention in
the affairs of Cuba.
"Exhaustive reports have "been pre
pared for Secretary Herbert and the
president on the condition of the navy
for a descent on Cuba. The question
of transports and the facilities for land
ing troops on. the island has been
looked into thoroughly, and the results
filed with the secretary of the navy."
A Washme-ton SDecial to the Tribune
plays in reTerenceroTJubanr-matterB:"
"Confidential information received
by the Tribune shows that the presi
dent's plans are more far-reaching than
was generally anticipated. In the first
place it was learned that Spain had at
last been frightened into action and
the Mora claim will be paid by ex
change on London within a day or two
all the arrangements to that effect
having been at last completed by the
Spanish ministers.
- 'This information comes from a
source beyond question, and from the
game was obtained the prediction that
within a month President Cleveland
would take an active hand in the Cu
ban question. It is said that a power
ful syndicate has been formed in this
country . which will be prepared to
guarantee the Cuban .bonds prepara
tory to its acquisition by the United
States."
The Mora Claim. .
Washington, Sept. 13. The meth
ods for the payment of the Mora claim
have been definitely ' settled and av
draft prepared for the transfer tomor
row. It will call for an equivalent, in
English pounds sterling of 81,499,000,
made pay a Die to oeere&ary oi aiare
Olney. ' The loss of $1000 from the
amount,. 1,600,000, originally agreed
upon is due to the difference between
the value of the Spanish peso and the
American gold dollar.
NEW8PAPEB ENTEBPBISE. "
fire Could Not Suppress a Morning Kewff
Paper. -'.
NEW YORK, Sept. 13. This morn
ing's World was probably the only
regular issue of the newspaper which
contained not a line of advertising.
Flooding the pressroom on account of
fire reduced the Drees capacity so that
, It was impossible to print only eight
pages, and eight pages of solid adver
tising were tnrown away rattier than
cut the news. In spite of delays dur
ing the fire itself, and consequent upon
It, which included the stopping of all
typesettine machines by cutting off
the gas, the paper went to press on
time. The World is receiving from
newspapers throughout the country
expressions of regret at its loss. It
expresses gratitude for the cordial in
terest manifested, assuring its friends
no serious damage has been done,
owing to the fireproof nature of the
building.
They Must Not Enter.
Washington, Sept. 13. The sec
retary of the treasury today sent
telegram to the collector of customs at
Ogdensbure', N. Y.. directing mm not
to admit any ol tne 2UU Chinese re'
centiy landed at Vancouver, a. cj., en
route to the Atlanta exposition.
No Fresh Cases In Forty-Eight Hours.
Victoria, B. C, Sept. 13. The
steamship Miowera arrived at noon
today. She did not call at Honolulu,
but was off that port September 4, and
spoke a pilot boat. There were then
many cases of cholera, but no fresh
1 cases had broken out for 48 hours.
Republicans Praise Cleveland.
Quebec, Sept. 13. The fourth an
nual meetiner of the Canadian Bank
ers' Association closed by a banquet
at Frontenac. W. C. Cornwall, who
was present as representing the Amer
ican Banker's. Association, replied to
the toast of "The president of the
United States." He paid a warm tri
bute to Mr. Cleveland, whose stanch
adherence to sound principles of fi
nance, he said, evoked the admiration
of even Republicans like himself.
Chill ts Increase Her Navy.
New York, Sept. 13. A special
to
the World from Valparaiso, Chili, says
Chili intends sending several naval
officers to Europe to buy a new ar
mored cruiser and four torpedo-catch
ers to add to her navy.
WITHOUT HOPE OB RESOURCES.
The Dreadful Condition of the Oppressed
Armenians.
New YokbT. Sent. 16. A deposition
has been received by Harant M. Kir-
etchjian, general secretary of the Ar
menian Keiiet Association, from Mrs.
Marian Haroyan, a well-conneeted
Armenian lady from a city of Upper
Armenia, concerning the security of
Armenians in the cities as compared
witn tne villages. tne said:
Our condition could not be
described in words-security is no
word to use. .We have no hope or re
source left, everything seems doomed
and if relief does not come after all
this disaster, the evil that will result
will be something that cannot be con
ceived. Arrests, imprisonments, tor
tures, are what occur every day. They
search tne nouses, of course, freely,
but wnat - does tnat mean? xne of
ficials will come into our houses when
ever they please, overturn everything
with the declaration that they are
seeking for arms or other suspicious
material, - but in their search they
pocket whatever they pleaseof jewelry
or vaiuaoics. xo wnum can we utter
a word of complaint?
".Aside from the tortures in prison
they take young and old to the govern
ment mansion every day, and night
after nltrnt. and put tnem tnrousrn
horrible tortures. ' The family oi
S .-P ., who live close to the
mansion, said they could no longer
bear to bear the unearthly groans and
hideous noises they had boen hearing
for days and wesks, as tneir souis were
faint.
"There was G ., of our quarter, a
fine young man. ' He was taken - there
and tortured for some unknown bus-
picion, his limbs were stretched with
ropes tied to them, then they put a
stran . looped - around his neck and
hanced him until he was almost dead,
Then they tortured him and hanged
him again, keeping him all the time
just alive enougn to ieei - tne awiui
agony. Think of tha life of the fath
era and mothers living in this misera
ble landl This is how our best people
are perishing.
"The people hsve no means, or
couraee. even, to possess arms, when
even the suspicion of it brings such
destruction upon whole families, so
that they are not able to defend them'
nelves ftcftlnst thieves and robbers,
Some who have had arms that could
nerve for protection in traveling.
buried them in the earth for fear of
being discovered, thus making them
useless. As there is a God, help must
come to put an end to this horrible
destruction of our. people by slow
death, but the souls of the people are
fainting in them when they can neither
speak nor act to seek deliverance, but
must silently see the torture and death
of their kindred, who euner unuttera
ble agonies."
MESSAGES FROM THE DEAD. '
Letters written In the Dark by Imprisoned
Miners.
New York, Sept. 16. A special to
the Herald from Vancouver,, a.
says:
Advices received by the Australian
steamer Miowera eays that the bodies
of the victims of the Eldorado mine
disaster have been recovered after two.
weeks'.- burial. - .
. The men were working In McAver's
mine when tne banking made to Keep
off the river gave way, filling the out
let of the mine. They were im
prisoned almost within hearing of
their rescuers. It took exactly 14 days
to reach the dying men, and in that
time all were beyond the need of as
sistance. ...
Evidence of the terrible sufferings
of the poor 'fellows in - their last
moments were most . haartrendering.
Believing that they would be even
tually reached by the wouldbe rescuers
but knowing then that it would be too
late, the men evidently held an ante-
mortem council, for most oi them
wrote letters to friends and relatives
from their living grave, and there were
evidences of solemn intercourse- be
fore death ended their terrible suffer
ings. - .
All but one of the men were found
in a naturally formed chamber, lying
side by Bide quietly, as if sleeping.
They wore peaceful expressions and
must, before . death, have
been lulled to sleep by generated gas.
By letters left they had, however,
been in conversation together for 24
hours after their fearful imprisoment.
The following is one of the letters,
verbatim, of a victim, written in pen
ell t ... .
- "I am getting faint, no air. God
protect me for the sake of my poor
children and wife. Lizzie, look After
them and .bring them up good. The
money I have in my box in the bank
is to be divided among the little ones.
Make the.best.of what I: have saved.
God be with them.: Kiss .them for
father's sake. 1 forgive xny ' enemies.
Love to all that are dear to me. , Good
by, my dearest children, ; .
"Charles Mawkdjb,"
"The messages were written in the
dark, and it took six hours to decipher
them. '

as to tne most favorable candidate for

is for William C. Whitney, for the
nominee. Out of a large number
heard from all but one or two are out

secretary of the navy. Two or three
of the remainder would prefer other
leaders did circumstances seem to

NOT THE FIRST TIME.
Corn to Be rced as Fuel In the Western
States.
Chicago, Sept. 14. With a 2,500,000-
000 busnel crop tne west will nave corn
to burn. According to a Kansas City
dispatch a packing-house company has
already issued oruers to its w lcnita
house to begin the use of corn for fuel
as soon as it can be bought for 12 cents
a bnshel. On the basis of the May
price, with due allowance for freight
and for the discount from the contract
price for off grades, corn on the west
ern farms is not much over 10 cents a
bushel.
The 1895 crop of corn is. pratically
made and without doubt it will be a
record-breaker. It is figured that the
total yield is 2,235,000,000 bushels. It
will not be far from double the
quantity of corn produced last year
and far in excess of the quantity of
corn proudcod in any of tne star crops
in the history'of the trade.
Prices have been demoralized simply
in- anticipation. - uecemoer corn
touched 2?i cents last week. On the
basis of the present prices corn will
be cheaper than coal for fuel during
tne lau and winter in tne states west
of the Mississippi river. . It is said
that experiment has shown that a ton
of dry corn will go further in produc
ing steam than a ton of coal.
- Anthracite coal laid down in Kansas
City, even -at reduced freight - rates','
costs 16 a ton is car lots. At points in
the interior of Kansas, Nebraska and
western Iowa It costs from 87 to $9 a
ton. At these same ' points corn is
worth from $2.50 to $4 a ton on the
cob. Iowa caul can be delivered in
central Nebraska at about V3.50 a ton,
and Illinois coal at $4. la Iowa native
bituminous coal costs over 82 a ton. A
prominent operator on the board of
trade today oDered to Joweit iu,uw u
ne could not- rurnisn tne Aiiey "L, '
with corn for fuel at a less cost than
coal.

NEWLANDS ON SLLTEbI
Return of Prosperity Win Kill Silver a a
Polities! Issue.' .
New YORK, Sept.' 15. Representa
tive Francis G. Newlnnds, of Nevada,
chairman of the executive committee
of the national silver party, talked to
a World reporter at the Holland house
today on the future of free and un
limited coinage of silver as a political
issue. He said:
"I recognize tne fact tnat u ousiness
Highest of all in Leavening
11
ABSOLUTELY PURE
continues to improve and it turns out
that the improvement is permanent,
the silver issue is dead. The onlv
discouraging feature of the situation
is the outflow of erold. At this partic
ular time there ought, to be a market
abroad for our staple export products,
wheat an cotton, but England does
not appear to be buying as freely as
usual, .a iukjt nnnir pnn
will change and the beginning 6ieT
portations will cause an inflow of gold
but to us who believe in the free and
unlimited coinage of silver the situa
tion is one that should make it evident
that the world cannot do business with
gold alone.
'.Nevertheless, I am frank Ur admit
that with the return of prosperty silver
ceases to be an issue, for when the
people are occupied with prolitabl
business affairs they have neither the
time nor the inclination to discuss
money questions."
NO NEED OF MEN.
What the Cuban Junta Wants Are Arms

NEW YORK. Sept. 16. Toraas Est

the following card:
"it is reported in tne newspapers
that Senor Enrique Moreno, who. it is
said, represents himself as an agent of
tne rvew low uuoan lunta. is at St,
LiOms, mo., enlisting men for service
in Cuba. Such report has no founda
tion in fact. Senor Moreno is not an
agent of Cuban junta, nor do I know
who the gentleman is. The Cuban
junta shall not knowingly violate the
laws of the United States, and it
knows that enlisting- men for military
service is a violation oi tne law.
Moreover, the Cuban revolution is in
no need of them. What it needs are
arms and ammunition for thousands of
men who. so far. are onlv supplied
with the machete. Arms and am
munition the junta can buy within the
law, ano win no bo witnout conceal

FeU From the Mill Creek Trestle.
The trestle across Mill creek caught
a victim Sunday night in the person
of Thomas Woods, a half-breed, who
claims to have been on his way to tbe
Indian school at Chemawa. He was
traveling by the brake-beam ronte,
and in trying to board the passenger
train this morning, ran off the end of
the walk on the north side ot the tres
tle and tended in the mud 30 feet below
the starting point. It was quite dark
at the time, but, fortunately for him,
some one . heard- the dull, sickening
thud with which he- struck- the Mill
creek mud, and he was soon picked up.
Dr. Holllster attended to his injuries,
and sewed up his cbln which received
a trash several Inches in length. Tne
man was delirious . for - a while, and isi
suffering from concussion of the spine
and Internal injuries. It might save
the county - considerable expense to
etiatch -a life net under that trestle, as
it catchos many an unwary tramp.
Woods will probably be all right in a
day or two, and will be able to take a
course at the Indian school yet. - He
claims to have come from Adams,
where, he says, he has resided for
twelve years.

The Rfcrulator made a special trip
to Cascade- Locks Saturday night
leaving about-7 o'clock and carrying
i'ust one dozen of the lol'.iest lot of
ilks that were ever herded in the
cabin of a steamboat. The fun com
menced soon after the boat started and
the boys had a time that was- a time.
Tom Driver's limberger cheese sand
wioh started the hilarity, and before
the boat arrived at the Locks every
Elk bore evidences of the presence of
that sandwich. At the Locks a dele
gation from the lodge met them, and
escorted them to the lodge room,
where several .candidates were initi
ated into the mysterios' Of Elk-hood.
The boat returned Sunday morning '
bringing most of the boys home, and
they one and all unite in Baying that
the Cascade Locks is the biggest little
place on earth, and that for hospitality
ever-far-famed Kentucky wouldn't be
in it, with the Locks' people.
- Help Make an Exhibit. , '
The directors of the Seoond District
Agricultural Society are busy com
pleting arrangements for the ' fair be
ginning October 8th. A list of prem
iums will be given, and although this
is quite an inducement to exhibitors,
it should be borne in mind that there
is much more than the earning of
premiums at stake. The advertising
the country gets through good -extn
bits of orchard and farm products is of
immeasurably greater importance than
the premiums. They assist in setting
the vacant lands, thus enrichiner the
up een-
country, procuring good roads, main' L
taining schools and reducing taxation.
We hope to see such an exhibit as was
never before made here and further,
that every farmer and orchardist will
do his duty by making an exhibit of
nis products, " . . ,

small band oi cattle on tne track, but
too late to prevent running into them.
The pilot struck a big bnll and threw
him off the track and against the bank,
but after the engine had passed the
carcass rolled back on the track.
Thirteen cars mostly loaded -with
merchandise from the east, were de
railed and badly wrecked. Two tramps
who were riding the brake-beams were
killed. Fortunately none of the train
