STILL TAKING CLAIMS.
Politics Secondary to Mining In McMlnn
vUle. M'Minnville, Or., March 30. The
newly discovered mines still surpass
the political question io interest. The
Sommens syndicate has located 32
more claims and have ordered that no
more information be given out. Fifty
six claims have been located on Tes
tament Creek. Claims have also been
located on McKay and Elk Creeks,
two miles north of Testament; also the
headwaters of Deer -creek and Wil
lamina are being staked out. All as
says show gold ranging from 62 cents
to $15 30 per ton.
Dr. Goucher, probably the most
intelligent miner and mineowner in
the city, says that he does
not beleive the miners can be
very rich and may not pay at all.
but if an average of $2 per ton can be
had, that a battery of quartz mil.

Heavy Death Kate.
Havana, March 27, via Key West,
Fla. The fight at Candelaria between
the forces of.jjGeneral Linares and
Colonel Suarez Ynclan on one side.
and those of Antonio Maceo and
Perico Diaz and Quintin Bandera on
the other, has been heraldeJ in the
usual flamboyant official dispatches as
a famous victory and Ynclan and
Linares wete promptly scheduled for
promotion. But ever since the fig:ht
carloads of wounded have been coming
into Guanajay and Havana, and it is
gradually leaking-out that at Candel
aria one of the most serious Spanish
disasters of the entire war occurred.
A Spanish officer said last night
that their losses were .423 men killed
and wounded, and that Maceo cap
tured one piece of artillery after hard
fighting.
Persons familiar" with the Spanish
official report suspected this when the
report admitteu that the artillery men
had to .defend themselves with their
carbines. Ibis means that the insur
gents fought the artillerymen hand to
band. Thirty-eight artillerymen are
reported as among the killed and
wounded, and it is now said that the
gun casisons and all the Spanish artil
lery and ammunition fell iDto Maceo's
hands, Ynclan and Linares barely
saving their commands from annihila
tion. .
The insurgent loss was very heavy,
but not nearly so heavy as the Span
ish.
Colonel Frances, who commanded
in tbe -ecent tight at Cayajabps, is
about to return to Spain. One re
port is that he is ill.' Another savs
that tbe management of tbe Cayajabos
fight was unsatisfactory to the com
mander-in-chief. General Correll h.vs
already sailed for Spain. Illness is
given as the cause.
A RECKLESS FAHMZK.

Large
Tract of Land.
Stockton, March 27. Yesterday
W. S. Montgomery.-' living .about a
mile from Lockeford, cut a levee of
the Mokelutnne river," which runs
through bis land, and as a result tbe
whole country for miles around is
under water. Montgomery . cut the
levee for the purpose of letting the
water in on his land to irrigate it, but
the river rose suddenly in consequence
of recent rains, and the . water spread
over the land before the cut could be
repaired. Tbe loss will be very heavy.
Several farms . are flooded and the
water is creeping up to the hop region,
which is on more elevated ground.
Should it become inundated, the loss
will amount to much more. At pres
ent it is not possible to estimate the
loss.

All Hope Abandoned.
Wellington, N. Z. March 27. All
hope of saving the -60 miners who
were entombed in a mine at Brunner-
ton yesterday by an explosion of , fire
damp, which killed five men outright,
has been abandoned.- The bodies of
15 of the miners have been recovered
from the pit, around which are the
usual scenes of distress, caused by the
presence there of the wives and other
relatives of the men entombed. Many
of the men engaged in the work of
rescue have been overcome, and there
have been several narrow escapes. -

The Revolt la South Africa.
Cafe Town, March 27. Dispatches
from Buluwayo and Matabelle indicate
that the uprising in that part of tbe
colony is very serious. The disturb
ance is widespread and becoming

may spread to other parts of South
Africa. Natives are raiding the farms
and killing white settlers in the Mat

have been slain. .

CRISIS NEAR AT HAND.
Province of Havana Swarming With In
surgents. Key West, March 30. (Sent from
Havana March 28 to avoid press cen
sorship) Twenty-five thousand insur
gents under . General Maceo are
swarming over the provinces . of Ha
vana and Pinar del Rio destroying
property, ripping 'up railways and
tearing down telegraph lines. Forty
five thousand Spanish soldiers are in
the same territory, and more are com
ing.
General Maceo is in immediate com
mand of the center column of rebels
with about 0000 men. General Maceo
is in the southern part of of Havana
witi about 6000." and General La Crete
is hovering about the outskirts of Ha
vana with about 6000 cavairy. The
other 4000 tr.en are divided into small
bands of pillagers. ' The insurgents
are well-equipped and have. plenty of
ammunition, and are capable of giving
the soldiers a warm reception.
The activity noticeable about the
palace of General Weyler seems to.
bear out the idea that a crisis is near
at hand. .

Several Changes.
It seems probable that the O. R. &
N. will run Tbe Dalles local train
through to Pendleton, although there
is nothing definite about, it. Certain
it is that, as soon as business war
rants, the company will make this
chanse. Another change contem
pleted is the running of the local
train from Wallace through Spokane.
At present, the train runs on the
branch only from Wallace to Tekoa.
And it will be run to Tekoa and on to
Spokane. That the changes bereto
foro spoken of will take place is about
certain, as officials are now in Port
land figuring, on anew time card.
Nothing more definite can be given.

turn trip?, for hundred? upon hundreds
are going north who have not got one
dollar left, sfter paying their fare.
A passenger who has just returned
says that as the various boats, lay at
the wharf at Juneau, , there Is con
stantly a guard kept over the gang1-,
plank, to see that nobody goes aboard
unless be is kn wn to have local busi
ness or is possessed of a return ticket.
This action has, he says, become nec
essary, on account of the great number
of men who try to stow away, so as to
get south. This gentleman warns any
one not provided with money or com
plete outfit to stay away from Alaska.
He says that for every position in
Juneau or Sitka today there are 2-5
men or women applicants.
Alaska, he says, has not been over
rated, but the trouble is it is such a
new country that the sudden immigra
tion of such large numbers of people
have made it impossible to provide for
their care. - As there is neither farm
ing nor manufacturing, unless ODe
goes to that country fully prepared to
mine on bis own -hook, or has an en
gagement with so me company, or is
grubstaked, he will almost invariably
find himself stranded at the begin
ning of his journey. -
