New Yoke, May 28. A special to

General Garcia ambushed two de
tachments of Spaniards nearVintegas.
Puerto Principe province. After
fight lasting all of one day he attacked
them at night and got them separated
For a while they were so confused they
fired at each other, One detachment
finally became panic-stricken and fled,
Garcia fell on the other and defeated
it, inflicting a loss of 100. He then
pursued the retreating force, and,
catching up with them ten miles from
the coast, killed off wounded 64 more
Spanish.
The Nunez brother recently cap
tured a Spanish fort near Palacios,
Pmar del Rio, and after occupying it
three days burned it, taking away
large supply of ammunition and pro
visions.
There also was a guerilla fight at
Minas and St. Felipe, Havana prov
ince, the Cubans under Martinez and
Carillo compelling the government
troops to retire in both instances. The
Spanish loss in not known, but more
than 200 wounded soldiers have been
brought .into Havana since Friday,
the men being brought in at night so
as to avoid observation. The Span
iards say that Carillo is wounded, but
the report is not believed.

TILLMAN TO THE FRONT.
He Introduces a Senatorial Rosolution in
the Senate.
Washington, May 28. Senator
Tillman introduced in the senate a reso
lution for the appointment of a special
committee of five senators to inquire
into reports of speculation in sugar
stocks by senators, and as to advance
information by New York speculators
as to the sugar schedule of - the tariff
bill, and also to continue the investiga
tion made in 1894.
The resolution recites that one man
is serving a sentence in jail and 'an
other was yesterday acquitted on a
technicality and piovides for conduct
ing the investigation so all questions
shall bo pertinent.
Senator Frye in the chair, promptly
referred the resolution to the commit
tee on contingent expenses.
Tillman was allowed to speak on the
subject by unanimous consent. Tillman
said the democratic members of the
finance committee were under a cloud
on account of the sugar schedule of
the tariff bill of 1894. The republican
members were now under suspicion.
Ooe party was as deep in the raud as
the other was in the mire.
Pettus, democrat, of Alabama, de
manded that Tillman specify his
charges and that the whole senate
should not be subject to his sweeping
assertions.
Tillman said the present tariff bill
was made in the rooms of. the Arling
ton hotel with close connection by
telephone and telegraph with New.
York and in close touch with the
sugar trust magnates.
- Tillman had numerous extracts read
from papers showing that the sugar
trust secured the schedules asked in the
new bill, and also an extract from a
paper making a charge that Senator
Smith, of New Jersey, had -been spec
ulating in sugar. Tillman closed
with a declaration that the senate
should either prove the correspondents
liars or prove the senators corrupt and
then turn then out. .

New York, May 28. A special to

A Cuban hospital near Matrua, Ha-
Only One

h guerillas. The insurgents were in
formed of their approach, and, as some
of the wounded could not be moved
those able to get about, fortified Uie
building, which is of stone, as well as
they could.
When the guerillas demanded the
surrender of the place the inmates re
plied with a volley, killing five Span
iards. The soldiers then set fire to the
wooden portion of the building, but
the stone part remained intact, and the
beseiged made such a valiant fight
that the enemy finally retreated.
Sixteen guerillas raided a camp ef
pacificos in Matanzas province and
carried off seven women. One day
one of the women managed to secure
some kind of poison, which was put in

A MASSACRE BY INDIANS.
Lame Deer Agency, Mout., Cheyeimea on

Denver, May -21. A special to the
Republican from Helena says:
Cheyenne Indians have gone on the
warpath and are said to have killed a
dozen men including five United States
soldiers. The Indians have no reserva
tion, but make the Lame Deer agency
their headquarters.
A man named Hover, a sheep herder,
was recently shot by Indians, because
he caught several of tbem killing sheep.
The settlers armed themselves to pro
tect their property. Two companies
of colored cavalry from Fort Custer
were ordered to the agency on Wednes
day. On Saturday a courier. arrived
from the agency with the information
that George Walters, postmaster, and
Lou Anderson, a stockman, had been
shot and killed, and also that the In
dians shot into the cavalry and killed
five, men, and that they had sixty
armed cowboys surrounded. Cavalry
from Fort Keogh and company E. in
fantry, left Saturday for the scene.
The settlers have moved their
families from near the reservation to
Miles City. - Ranchmen and stockmen

Indians who killed Hoover. The
names of the Indians are known, and
they are protected by 50 bucks.

Important Developments In the Cuban
Situation Imminent. .
New York, May 31. A special ' to
the Herald from Washington says:
From now until June 10, when he
will start on his trip to attend the
Nashville exposition. President Mc
Kinley's attention will be devoted
almost exclusively to the Cuban ques
tion. Important developments may be
looked for within that period. A new
minister to Spain and probably a new
consul-general to Havana will be ap
pointed, the report of Special Commis
sioner Calboun considered, and a for
mal note to Spain drafted and placed
in the bands of the new minister for
delivery upon his arriyal in Madrid.
The instructions to the new minis
ter will of course be treated as confi
dential until he ' has communicated
with the Madrid authorities and a re
ply from Spain has been received.
There is practically no doubt, however,
that the president's note to Spain will
be a formal tender of the good offices
of the United States. It will be firm
in tone, reviewing the whole situation
in such a way as to show that the
United States is interested in the
present devastating war, and that on
the ground of humanity and for com
mercial reasons we have the right to
use all legitimate means of bringing
the war to a close.

Portland, Or., May 31. It was
grand news for Oregon as a state and
Portland as its metropolis that came
over the wires last night announcing
that the Oregon Short Line had thrown
off the Union Pacific yoke and opened
the Ogden gateway to all connecting
lines.
Not since 1883 has anything happened
which presages so much of prosperity
and increased population, through im
migration, as does this move. Where
formerly the Union Pacific had a
monopoly on the transportation of all
freight consigned to points in the
Northwest, and which it was necessary
to send via the Missouri river, now
six other roads, which have heretofore
been barred will be able to make Port
land a terminal point.
These roads are the Burlington,
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Mis
souri Pacific, Rock Island, Denver &
Rio Grande and Rio Grande Western.
In addition to these will be, as now,
the O. R. & N. anu Southern Pacific.
. The importance and value of this
letting in of the great railroad systems
of the West, to Oregon, can hardly be
estimated. It means the advertising
of this state by hundreds of men whose
business it is to advertise, for the rail
road companies employ them for noth
ing else. It means the booming of
Oregon just as the railroads have
boomed southern California, simply
through showing up the splendid op
portunities presented by the country.
Southern California has the sunshine
and flowers, and the railroads have
made the most of them. . Oregon has
the land and fertility and now that the
railroads have been given the oppor
tunity to do business with this fertile
land, its praises will be sounded from
one end of the Union to the other.
- This opening of the Oregon Short
Line, or the "Ogden Gateway," as it
has-been generally termed, has created
a stir in the railroad circles of Port
land, such as has not been known
since the separation of the O. R. & N.
from the Union Pacific, and there is
general rejoicing, naturally, the Union
Pacific being excepted. .
BILLY'S JOKE.
The Story or a Mountain Goat Who I ot
a Humorous Turn of Mind.
A mountain goatthatl once kept in
confinement was about as cunning as
the average street ara'b, and, had he
lived to maturity and Hcept on acquir
ing knowledge, the chances are 1 would
have had to move ont and give him the
ranch .
He usually -foHowed me, says a
writer in Forest and Stream, on short
excursions into the woods, and gen
erally kept right at my lieels; but on
one occasion he lagged 'behind, and,
although I .called him several times,
he paid uo heed. .1 finally walked back
to see what he was interested in and
found him busy feeding on some moss
that grew at the roots of a fir tree,
so I left him and continued my tramp.
But after I had got away a short dis
tance the thoucht occurred to me to
hide and see how he would act; so I
slipped, into a hollow stump close by
the trail and awaited the result. Pres
ently I heard him coming bounding
along the trail, and after he had
passed I stuck ont rny head to watch
him. When he got twenty feet beyond
me he stopped and commenced looking
around, and the ccmical expression of
his face as he Bconncd every, object
that bore any remblanee to a hnman
beiny caused ma to burst out laughing,
when ho turned ad taw me. Then he
commenced to ev.11: and would not go
any further, I Lr.d1o ro heme.
The nest day lu followed me as
usual, but in the mid: t of some thick
brush and down timber I got interested
in a bird that I wai following up, and
forgot the goat, and when I came to
look for him ho wagone. Walking back
to where I last saw him I called, but
no "Eilly" came in sirfh't. Then I com
menced a diligent search, and present
ly I caught sight of something white
beneath a brush heap. Stooping down
and looking in, I saw the little brute
curled r.p in a heap, and not a move
could I get out cf hun. Kcaching in, I
caucht him by the leg and pulled h
out, and gave him a good cufib
both hiC.cs of his head.

norns wnn astomsmng rapidity, Daeit
ing off, stamping his feet with a quick
jerk, and propelling himself at his foe
J ike a sure-enough battering ram.
The great yellow puma, ae-ile and
watchful, leaped aside or into the air
to escape the onslaught of the tartar
he had caught, and with a lightning
like spring he would aim to clutch the
ram behind the horns. But not once
did the interested observer see the ram
caught unawares. The heavy horns
were swung quickly on the pivot of his
sinewy neck, and received the clawing
of the cat with no effect whatever.
Col. Denton watched the sport with
all the zest of a bportsman, and, on in
dications that the belligerents were
becoming mutually disgusted and
about to separate and disappear, he
embraced a moment when the ram
stood stamping his fore feet preparing
to dart forward, and gave him a bullet
behind the shoulder. The ram leaped
upward and forward, game to the last,
and tumbled forward on his horns.
CoL Denton then turned to pay his
respects to the lion, but as the brute
had already received more than it had
bargained for, it was out of sight. The
splendid horns of the ram were secured
by the hunter as a trophy.
SUNSET BLUES AND REDS.
How the Gorgwnns Colorings of Twilight
Skies Are I'rodaoed.
Observers of the gorgeous sunsets and
afterglows have been most particularly
6truck with the immense wealth of the
various shades and tints of red. Now,
if the glowing colors are due to the
presence of dust in the air, there must
be somewhere a display of the colors
complementary to the reds, because the
dnst acta by a selective dispersion of the
colors.
The small dnst particles arrest the di
rect course of the rays of light and reflect
them in all directions, but they princi
pally reflect the rays of the violet end
of the spectrum, while . the red rays
pass on almost unchecked. Overhead
deep blue reigns in awe-inspiring glory.
As the sun passes below the horizon,
and the lower stratum of air, with its
larger particles of dust which reflect
light, ceases to be ' illuminated, the
depth and fullness of the blue most in
tensely increase. This effect is pro

When, however, the observer brings
his eyes down in any direction except
the west he will see the blue mellowing
into blue-green, green and then rose
color. And some of the most beautiful

Iha Vessel Fad No Conductors and the
Captain Was Knocked.
"My father was walking the poop of
his vessel in Sydney harbor, and, as it
was rather a close, warm evening, the
awnings were furled," says a writer in
London TU-lfits. . ''It was thundering
and lightning. He had just go aft and
turned around when he saw something
exceedingly bright drop before him,
and he was knocked down. In falling
he struck his head. against the rail,
which stunned him for a minute.
"When he got up he found that the
front part of his legs were severely
scorched. Two of the planks in the
deck were charred about an inch deep
for a length of seven feet, and the main
royal mast of a ship lying about a quar
ter of a mile astern was broken off,
though whether by the same stroke he
could not tell. .
"When the deck was repaired my fa
ther kept the charred portions, and he
still has them to show to anyone who
doubts his story.
"The ships that were struck by the
lightning had no conductors on their
masts. Most ships have them now. In
the ship on which I served my time we
hod a platinum red on each truck, with
wire conductors passing through glass
insulators down the backstays.
"On the least sign of thunder the ends
of these wires were thrown over the
side. On dark nights when there was
any lightning flashing the points of the
platinum rodi used to have a blue light
glimmering on them, and the effect wa
very weird and uncanny."

EFFECT OF HEAT,
The Haitian System Can Become Used t
a High Temperature.
No one can tell how high a tempera
ture man can endure until he is sub
jected to the trial. The effect of an in- ,
tensely-heated atmosphere in causing
leath has been but little studied.
'Some years since," says Dr. Taylor,
the eminent jurisprudent, "I was con
sulted in one case in which the captain
of a steam vessel was charged with man
slaughter for causing a man to be lashed
within a short distance of the stoke
hole of the furnace. The man died in a
few hours, apparently from the effeots
of his exposure. Yet the engine rooms
of steamers in the tropics have been
observed to have a temperature as high
as 140, and engineers after a time be
come habituated to this excessive heat
without appearing to suffer materially
In health. In certain manufactories the
body appears to acquire a power, by
habit, of resisting these high tempera
tures; still, it has been proved that
many suffer severely. In s report on
the employment of children (London)
it is stated that in a glass manufactory
a thermometer held close to a boy's
neaa stood at 130 degrees, and as the in
spector stood near to observe the In
strument his hot actually melted out of
shape. Another boy had his hair singed
by the heat, and said that bis clothes
were sometimes singed, too, while a
third worked in a temperature no less
than 150 degrees. Amid this tremen
dous heat they carry on work which re
quires their constant attention. They
are incessantly in motion."
In the Turkish baths higher tempera
tures than this have been noted, but
there is reason to believe that eerioua
symptoms have been occasionally pro
duced in persons unaccustomed to them,
and that in one or two cases death has
resulted. All sudden changes from a
ipw4o a (Mghjemperalure are liable to "'
cause death in aged persons or thosa
who ere suffering from organic dis
eases. In attempting to breathe air
bested to temperatures varying from
180 to 200 degrees, there is a sense of
suffocation, with a feeling of dizziness
and other symptoms indicative of an
effect on the brain, end the circulation
is enormously quickened. An 'inquest
was held on the body of a stoker of an
ocean steamship. He had been by trade
a grocer and was not accustomed to
excessive heat. While occupied before
the engine furnace he was observed to
fell suddenly on the floor in a state of
Insensibility. When carried on deck
It was found he was dead. All that wis
discovered on a post-mortem examina
tion was an effusion of serum into the
ventricles of the brain. It has now be
come one of the recognised causes of
death in this countrty. In some cases a
person may sink and die . from ' ex-,
haustion, or symptoms of cerebral dis
turbance may continue for some time
and the case ultimately prove fatal.
Death from sunstroke, when it is not
Immediately fatal, is preceded by some
well-marked symptoms, puch as weak
ness, giddiness, headache, disturbed vi
sion, flushing of the face, followed by
oppression and difficulty of breathing,
and in some cases stupor, passing into
profound coma. The skin is dry and
hot and the heat of the body is much
greater than natural.
