JAPAN TO ARBITRATE Hawaii Has Been Accepted and Submitted to the United States. Canada Enforces Another Arbitrary Meas ure Against Miners They Will be Required to Pay Import Dnty t'pon Their Outfits. New York. July 30. A dispatch to the Herald from Hsvana fcays': ' Havana's outposts have been again attacked by a large body of rebels, who before the Spanish troops could be gathered to resist had swept through the suburbs, carrying all before them They used, it is believed, rapid-firiDg g-uns and a large quantity of dynamite. The attack was made late last night. Today there is an inclination among1 the Spanish officials in Havana to deny the fact that the rebels had evaded the forts and swept into Havana limits. The facts, however, remain and the pith left by the rebels through the suburbs southeast of the city may be plainly traced. At the first sound of firing last night the Spanish soldiers in the city and suburbs sprang to arms. They pro' ceeded hurriedly to the southeastern part of the city from where the rattle of musketry followed by the boom of heavv guns or dynamite could be heard plainly all over Havana. Then the sound of firing increased, and final ly after a few hours, died away, show ing that tne rebels naa reiirea Several wounded Spanish soldiers were brouL'htto Havana and removed to hospitals after the encampment, and several were killed. The reticence of Spanish officials prevents any knowl edere of the result of the attack be coming general. It is a fact, however, that great damage was done by the in surgents on their bold raid and that a considerable quantity of dynamite was used. There was great excitement in Havana during the rebel attack. Hun dreds, aroused by the heavy firing, poured into the streets and the word passed along, "The rebels have at tacked the citv." created almost a papic in some quarters. There is still much excitement here, due largely to the refusal of the officials to give out nformation. Captain-General Weyler has left Havana for MataDzas, and the belief is expressed that the knowledge by the insurgents of this intention on his part led to the attack. Some tojr ten, some for twenty and some for thirty years have suffered and permanently cared by using De' Witt's Witch Hazel Salve, the great reined v for piles and all forms of skin diseases. The Snipes Kinersly Drug Co. ACCEPTED BY JAPAN. Hawaii's Arbitration Proposition at Last Finds Favor With the Japs. Washington, July 30. The Japan ese government has accepted the offer by Hawaii to arbitrate the dispute be tween the two countries. The state department has been informed of the offer and its acceptance. 'J he subjects of the arbiti ation will include not only the difficulty over the landing of Jap anese immigrants, but also will include other disagreements between th two countries, the most important of which is the Sake tax imposed upon a Japan ese iiquor largely imported and con sumed by the Japanese in Hawaii. When officials of the state depart ment were informed of the offer and acceptance of arbitration the secretary of the Japanese legation here was in formed that until the annexation treaty was concluded the United States would not assume . authority in the matter and that tb.tv present dispute must be considered as between Japan and Hawaii, The secretary in reply slid he was glad to learn such was the position of the United States, as it would permit Japan sending two or three warships to Hawaii pending final action on the arbitration treaty. This interpretation of the situation rather surprised the state department offi cials, who answered that the United States would consider in a different light an agreement of arbitration and the sending of warships, and intima ted that non-interference by the United States in one case could not he con strued as passive acceptance of the latter position, Free Fair TbU Fall Portland, Or., Aug. 1.

One feature alone for which the association is to be commended is found in the elimination of admission fees. The intent and purpose of the exhibition is to prove, by actual demonstration, that the motto of the state seal of Oregon 'Alis volat propriis" she flies with ner own wings is not merely a senti ment, but a truth. To accomplish this, the Manufacturers' Association pn poses to throw it9 doors wide open, without money and without price, that all may see for themselves the extent of Oregon's home industries, and learn to appreciate the necessity of support ing them; not only to keep Oregon money in Oregon, but also to furnish lucrative labor to'the state sown peo ple. It is not generally known that there are over 10,000 employes, receiving an nually oyer $7,000,000 in wages, now engaged in the manufacturing con cerns of Multnomah county alone. This number could easily be doubled and a corresponding increase in capital employed at home be secured, if home industries were patronized to the full limit and extent of their productive capacity. The United States govern ment shows its recognition of our ability, as witness the torpedo-boats and lightships now under construction on the Willamette; surely, self-apprecia tion as well as self-advantage should teach the people of Oregon to follow suit. It is hoped the manufacturers' fair will lead to such a consummation. "They are dandies." said Thos.

There now remains no doubt of the intention of the Canadian government anent collection of duties on American goods en route to the Clondyke. For a time it was believed no duty would be im posed on individual miners' outfits, but only on stocks taken into the Coun try for merchandising purposes. To day the following dispatch was received from Victoria which has stirred up ill-feeling in Seattle: 'Victoria. B. C. July 29. E. E. Ling, Secretary Chamber of Com merce.

Senators Quay and Morgan Will Visit Hawaii Taroma's Alaska Hash Justice In Colorado.-Two Thrifty Kold Hunters Vancouver, B. C, Aug. 2. The steamship Miowera, from Sydney, brings information that news of still another massacre has been received at Sydney. Not long ago a number of Australia's army of unemployed were attracted by stories of fabulous gold panning at Papua and other interior New Guinea points. Their ranks have been terribly thinned by murder, star vation and fatal swamp fevers. To make matters worse, every native who helped a white was marked for the tomahawk. The remnant of these white pioneers went to Vanapa for a final effort to make their fortunes. Their stores gave out and for months they lived oa damper" and tea. NaMves in the vicinity claimed to be ill-treated by the government in the way of scant stores, and decided to teach the gov ernment a lesson by killing all the whites within reach. The whites were raided at night and put to death with tomahawks, being easy victims. After long sufferiug they were weak and emaciated, and could not defend themselves. Many massacres bad occurred in the same place previously, but the govern ment has never attempted to punish the murderers. .Later news conhrms tne massacre which occurred 83 miles from Port Moresby. The entire settlement of natives and whites had their htads split open by a large band of savages The government has sent a large body of military police to surround the natives and shoot if necessary. Whole' sale arrests will ba made. The natives will be brought back manacled in the hold of a steamer chartered for the purpose.

Anxiety, ex pectation and suspense, which were the conditions in the coal-mining sit uation about De Armitt's mines today, have given place to peace and quiet ness tonight. After running counter to deputy sheriffs several times during the day, the strikers withdrew this evening, ana are now in the camps asleep. As the miners will not work tomorrow, the strikers will take a rest, and no trouble is expected before Monday night. The week closed with the miner's officials satisfied that they had made a marked impression upon the diggers of the New York & Cleve land Gas & . .Coal Company, who, it seems, are wavering as to their pur pose. All the men are out at Sandy creek, and but few were at work at Turtle creek today. Plum creek was in full operation, and the entire force of the strikers was centered at that point, but without succesi. This afternoon President Dolan took 20 strikers from the camp and inarched to P'um creek, where a meeting was organized. Speeches were made by President Dolun, and the men were cautioned to keep within the law. While the meeting was in progress, the sheriff, with an unarmed force of deputies, appeared. Sheriff Lowrey read the injunction procured by De Armltt, and ordered the strikers to disperse. President Dolan replied that they were on pualic ground, and produced a certificate showing the place to be a public highway. Sheriff Lowrey again ordered them to dis perse, and, after a short parley, the meeting was closed and the strikers marched back to camp. DAWSON CITY TO BE LIGHTED. Seattle's Mayor Will Take an Electric Plant to the Northern Mines. San Francisco,, Aug. 2. W. D. Wood, mayor of Seattle, has purchased a small electric plant with which he purposes lighting the city of Dawson with light during the winter months. Mr. Wood has contemplated this for some time, but not until now did he complete his arrangements. He is as sured by competent electricians that his plan is perfectly feasible, and that the plant he has bought for the com p.iny he represents is of a pattern that has given good results in other places. When the barges taken ud by the Humboldt arrive at Dawson the one propelled by steam power will be an chored as near the shore as possible, immediately opposite the city and al lowed to freeze up in the ice that will take the place of the water soon after their arrival. The electric plant will then be placed on board the barge and the Dawson City Eleotrio Lighting Co. will be ready to illuminate the dark ness of the long Artio winter.

CANNOT ENDURE CONFINEMENT Indians Soon Die If They Are Deprived of Taelr Liberty In rrlnons. At a recent meeting of the Sioux Val ley Medical association Dr. S. Olnev. of Sioux Falls, read a most intcresticf , not to soy startling, paper on th effect of confinement on the Indian. The Ar- gus-Lcndcr had been told the same facta by Col. J. II. Burns, of Deadwood, but was inclined to take the colonel's statement with a grain, or two of salt, as the colonel is an enthusiastic cham pion of the Indian. The figures of Dr. OIney, however, ore even more start ling than the statements made by Judge Burns. , There are confined in the penitentiary 123 white men, some of whom have been there for years. Of this number, but two are sick. Of the 19 Indiana . who have been confined in the peni tentiary in the last two years three are dead, one was pardoned in a dying con dition and is now barely alive, five are in the hospital with the death mark upon them, and three are ill. Of the seven who are practically healthy, five' have been confined but one month, one nine months and two for two years. All of these Indians appeared to be sound when they were admitted to the penitentiary. The statement of Judge Burn to ' Judge IZiner at the last term of the fed eral court in Sioux Falls, that a abort sentence of imprisonment was to. thu . Indian in effect a death sentence, seems ': to be literally true, and there is in this ' paper of Dr. Olney an appeal to federal - judges which ought to have it weight. CLIMATE AND CHARACTER. National Traits Often Molded by the Na ture of the Weather. The civil war is said to have been I caused by a difference in climate," and i i JS " whether a not or cold climate has the (rreatest effect on national character.' It ha3 been widely believed that a se vere climate produces The greatest ef- : feet, because' it compels effort and self- . denial, and thus promotes energy and inventiveness, says the New York Jour nal. ; It would also seem that the influence ' of climate upon the national character has been gTeatly exaggerated. - As syria, Babylonia. Egypt and Carthage, situated in hot latitudes, were among the most masterful nations of antiq uity. Mohammed and his conquering legions issued from the burning wilder ness of Arabia, and at a later period his . successors were able to beat back .the repeated attacks of the combined cru-. sading nations from the north. The greatness of a nation depends mainly upon intellectual and moral qualities, and these have often been conspicuously developed among the in habitants of hot climates. It is im portant, too, to remember that the same nation, occupying the same re gion, mny be great and powerful in one . age and weak and contemptible ia an other. The difference between the an cient Greeks, Komans and Saracens, on the one hand, und their modern de scendants on the other, cannot have been due to climate. .
