More Expeditious Reach Cuba Burned a
Spanish Flair -Family Burned to
Death A Costly Fire In New
York.
Washington, March 6. The presi
dent said to a representative of the As
sociated Preds today:
"I see it is assumed in certain quar
ters that an article published a few days
ago on the Uuban question may De
taken as defining the attitude of the
administration on .the subject. I wish
you would say that I never saw the
statement nor heard of it until I read
it in the newspapers, and even then
neglected to read all of it, supposing
that it represented nothing more than
a newspaper guess. I do net know
how it originated, nor by whom it was
constructed or inspired, but I do know
that I am in no manner responsible for
it nor in any way related to it."
"I only desire to say in addition that
I do not know whether the publication
referred to represents the views of the
administration on the Cuban question
or not, and that I never found any dif
ficulty in communicating with the peo
ple in a manner which leaves no doubt
as to the authenticity of any statement
purporting to represent my views."
MONITIONS OF. WAR.
Three More Expedititlons Keach Cuba In
Safety.
New York, March 6.-Cuban insur
gents have succeeded in landing more
munitions of war at Cuban points.
Dr. Joaquin Castillo, chancellor of
the Cuban legation, has received
cipher dispatches announcing the
safe arrival of three expeditions in
Cuba. The expeditions sailed from
Southern United States ports during
the last two weeks, on three vessels,
oh February 20, 27 and 29. The first
was a schooner, carrying 175 rifles and
175,000 rounds of cartridge?; this vessel
landed on the coast of Santa Clara
provinces, between Caraterates and
Sgua la Grande. The second expedi
tion carried 150 rifles and 150,000
rounds of ammunition, and landed on
the coast of Pinar del Bio between
Bahia Honda and Mariet. This sup
ply was placed in Cuba within 30
,milaaof -the oity ; cf- Havana.-The
last expedition, sailing February 29,
landed on the north of the province of
Matanzas, near La Boca, about six
miles from Cardenas.'
REFUSED ENGLAND'S DEMAND.
Venezuela Declined to Pay the Indemnity
Asked For.
New York March 6. A special to
the World from Caracas says:
The 90 days allowed Venezuela to
answer the demand for indemnity for
the arrest of the English officials,
Barnes and Baker, on the Uruan river,
in December, 1894, has expired. The
government will not speak officially,
but the highest authority ii given for
the statement that the Venezuela gov
ernment refused to pay the indemnity,
declared that the question of arrest
and boundary dispute cannot be sepa
rated. To pay the indemnity would
be to recognize British sovereignty
over Venezuela territory.
It is believed here that unless Sir
Julian Pauncefote and Minister An-
drade can arrange the matter satis
factorily in Washington, England will
use force to collect the money, treat
ing the arrests as distinct from the
boundary.
A Bad Man.
Bellefonte, Pa., March 6. Wil
liam Ettlinger, a wood chopper of
Woodward, and a "a bad man," is im
prisoned in his house with several
ferocious dogs, two bouble-barreled
shotguns and a quantity of dynamite.
A mob of 300 surrounds his house and
wants to hang him. Deputy Sheriff
Frank Geiswite and Constable Bainer
went to arrest Ettlinger: The latter
received a' charge of gunshot in the
face and fell mortally wounded. He'
has since died. The sheriff is ex
pected soon, when an attack will be
made on the house. Ettlinger if taken
alive will be lynched.
Recognition Bound to Come, -"'
London, "March 6. A Madrid dis
patch to the Standard says the press,
witn lew exceptions, advises the gov
ernment to indulge in no illusions as to
a long delay or an abandonment of rec
ognition by the-'United States of the
insurgents. The general impression
in diplomatic circles is that President
Cleveland will ultimately be compelled
to carry out the resolutions of congress,
even if at first he takes' friendlier steps
to elicit from Spain promises of Cuban
autonomy or of more lenient treat
ment of the rebels.
A Flan of Reorganization.
New York, March 6. The reorr
ganization committee, representing all
interests of the Oregon Short Line
property, hfes prepared a plan which

tories in this city have been appointed
to receive the respective classes of
securities.

Destroyed By Fire.
Albany, Or., March 6. A message
from Yaquina this morning conveys
the information that the steamer
Volante plying between Yapuina City
and Newport, was destroyed by fire at
! 2 o'clock this morning. The fire
broke out in the forward part of the
boat. John Hammond, who was
asleep on hoard, escaped in his night
clothes. The boat was lying at her
dock at Newport. The Volante- was
built in 1892, and cost $8000, and was
insured for $1000.
A Costly Fire.
New York, March 6. Fully $300,
000 loss was caused by a fire early to
day in the Garvin building, on Haight

Place. The Garvin Machine Com
pany, manufacturing bicycles, type
writers and other machines, lost $175,
030: the Bernard-Ullnjan, manufac
turer of embroideries, also lost $50,000,
Burned a Spanish Flag;.
Kansas City. Mo., March 6. J. E.
Archer, a well-to-do business man,
showed his sympathy for Cuba by burn
ing a Spanish flag in front of a crowded
theater last night. The act was loudly
cheered. Archer has a stock of Span
ish flags and says be will burn one
each night till it is exhausted.
MORE FUNDS NEEDED.
The Needs of the Suffering; Aremnlans
Are Increasing;.
New York, March 9. Today the
National Armenian relief committee
will send $10,000 to.Constantionple. It
is stated by the committee that the
distribution of money is being now
made among the Armenians, and at
the present the greatest obstacle to
the work of relief is lack of funds
rather than opposition by the sultan.
Stephen R. Barton, of Westerly, R. I.,
received a cable from Miss Clara Bar
ton at Constantinople, saying that the
Red Cross Society shipped on Saturday'
a large quantity of relief supplies to
the interior of Armenia to go by cara
van by way of Alexandre tta, on the
Mediterranean. Miss Barton has for
warded funds to Harpoot, Sivas and
Laruch, and the reports from the inte
rior indicate that the needs of the suf
fering Armenians are increasing.

W. Harper, attorney of the Brother

which were introduced in both
branches of congress. - One provides
for an appeal in contempt cases in
federal courts and also for trial by jury
in cases wherein the contempt, was
not committed in the presence of the
court. This measure is to meet such
cases as that of Debs in Judge Wood's
court.. The . other bill provides for
compulsory settlement of wage dis
putes on interstate railroads.

STABBED WITH A DIRK
Probably Fatal Affray After a
Dance at Central Point.
FOUND THE MINE
A Condemned Murderer Told - of a
Rich Mine and Prospectors Find
it After Twenty Years
A London Correspondent Thinks tbe Cu
ban Affairs Will be Left to the Presi
dentThe Debt of North
Yakima Validated.
Central Point, Or., March 8.
Thos. G. Elliott was stabbed and prob
ably fatally wounded this morning at
12:30 a. M. by John A. Penninger.
The affray took place at the Central
Point hotel, and was without doubt
premeditated. The two men had been
attending a dance, which broke up at
12 'clock, and, as Elloitt stepped out
of the front entrance of the hotel,
Penninger put his hand onElloitt's
right shoulder and stabbed him in the
breast with a dirk-knnife, the blade
, imo umuo
of which was three and a
half inches
long. . The knife entered the breast at
the junction of the sixth rib, and, as
yet, ib8 course is unknown. .
Elliott is a well-respected young man
20 years of age. He came here from
Canada, about two years ago, and
worked for Penninger's father until
August last, at which time young Pen
ninger made an attempt to stab him
with a pocket-knife and cut. a gash
across Elliott's abdomen six inches
long.
A prelimihary hearing was had this
afternoon before Justice Jacobs, at
which Penninger waived examination
and was held without bonds.
THE QUARTZ GULCH FIND.
Prospectors Took the Clew From a Mur
derer Who Was Hanged.
Baker City, Or., March 7. The
rich find reported to have been made a
few days ago in Quartz Gulch, near
Robinsonville, will recall to old timers
an incident which occurred over 20
years ago. Two miners became in
volved in a quarrel over a location, and
one of them was killed. The killing
must have been unprovoked, for the
survivor was taken to Canyon City,
indicted, tried and hanged. Before
being led to the scafford, he offered to
take the sheriff to a place where he
said he had uncovered an immensely
rich quartz ledge. The sheriff looked
upon the offer as a ruse on the part of
the condemned man to obtain an op
portunity" for escape, and refused it.
In due time the man "was hanged, but
the dying prisoner's declaration found
an echo in the ears of many a prospec
tor. Among . those who were most
persisteqt were the Stearns . brothers.
Al Geiser, . who flame to town last
night, reports that Albert Stearns and
Andy Larson, after a patient search
of five years, have at last found the
ledge. Further developments are ex
pected shortly.
The sudden cold snap is retarding
the general resumption of mining op
erations, but preparations for mining
on a large scale are hein; made In all
directions, .
IN THE EVENT OF WAR.
Military Officers Tender Their Services to
Spain.
' Madrid, March 8. Several military -
officers, including some Englishmen,
have offered their services to the Span
ish minister of war. . Senior Marcello
de Azsarraga, in the event of war be
tween Spain and the United States.
The official belief, however, is ex
pressed that no con nict will occur.
Patriotic demonstrations have occurred
throughout the country since the ac
tion of the United States congress on
the Cuban question, and many wealthy
Spaniards are offering money to the
government. Several towns have sent
messages offering money and the lives
of their citizens in defense of the coun
try. Shipowners of Seville have of
fered to place 50 steamers at the dis
posal, of the government. In the
Basque province, a subscription has.
been opened to present a warship to
the government.
Snow in Eastern Washington.
Spokane, Wash. March 7. A snow
fall has been general all over Eastern
Washington, and it is still snowing,
the depth being from two to six inches.
Farmers claim that it will be of vast
benefit in protecting winter wheat and
killing squirrels. '
The city council today voted to send

in the case. Immediately after Dur-
rant's conviction an appeal was taken,
but the case has not been presented to
the supreme court, owing ' to requests
for additional time made by both sides,
mi , a .
luo iasu postponement toos place a
week ago when the prosecution was
granted 20 days in which to file a bill
of exceptions. At the end of this time
it is believed the case will be pre
sented to the supreme court, but a de
cision is not expected for several
months. Durrant was sentenced to be
hanged February 21, but the slow
manner in which justice is meted out
to murderers in this state make it prob
able that he will not meet his death
much before the close of this year,
Meanwhile the prisoner spends his
time at the county jail much the same
as the other inmates. He has few
visitors-and devotes most of his time
to reading and writing. He . has
written a history of his life and lately
he is said to have begun the study ot
law.

Discovery I owe my life. Was taken
with La Grippe and tried all the phy
sicians for miles about, but of no avail

live. Having Dr. King's New Dis
covery in my store I sent for a bottle
and began its use and from the first
dose began to get better, and after us
ing three bottles was up and about
again. It is worth its weight in gold.

going steadily on. The Fisher build

to the Farmer's Hotel are being pushed
as fast as the workman can advance

construction of Mr. Wolf's new resi

busy receiving taxes and issuing re
ceipts for the same at the sheriff's of

taxpayers of the county are heeding
the call for taxes and are making pay

a careful examination of his fruit) trees,
and finds that they have not been
seriously damaged by the severe
weather of last week. His opinion is
that the fruit trees of the county have
suffered but little injury by the recent
cold spell, and that the customary crop
will be harvested.
The distillery at Grants is consum
ing about 150 bushels of wheat daily,

The distillery is running on full time
and is employing thirty hands. At
present there are 150 head of cattle
and about 500 head of hogs being fat
tened in the company's yards.
It is a well established fact that the
American people' are swindled and
humbugged more than any other
people on earth, and it is not for want
of intelligence or shrewdness, but
simply because they do not stop to
think. For instance, a lady goes to
her grocer, who, rather than miss
