More Reports of filch strikes in Klondide There I Gold Kverywhere Frait Shippers Protest Against the Prusahto Emlwrgt. New.YORK, Feb. 4. A dispatch to the Tribune from Havana says General Blanco baa returned frorn a trip to the western pronces which, put in the best possible light, has failed to come up to the expectations raised in Madrid. The Sagasta ministry can not longer delude itself with the false hope that the adhesion of a few minor nsurgent chiefs is evidence that the insurrection is disintegrating from within. Its power of resistance is shown by the fact that in all the mili tary operations which have taken place during the last fortnight, the advantage has been with the insurg ents. The situation is that persuasion has failed to win the insurgents to autonomy, and the army has had no better success. The intransigents have their remedy. They are making threatening demonstrations against the captain-general, and telling him the situation is insupportable, and that the only practical solution is for him to go home. , Though Weyler has many partisans, they do not look Tor him U. return to Cuba in command. The recall of Blan co wauld be a confession that his policy has been a failure. It is not expected that the Sagasta ministry will confess itself out of office in this manner. They talk vaguely to the effect that the army must be made supreme ib enforcing peace, as though the army bad not been supreme foe years. It is the frank judgment of compe- j tent military lodges that- the Spanish troops in Cuba are in a wbrse condition than the insurgents,- though 'he etrength and the resources of the latter may be exaggerated.

Gds Wachline Protested His lnnoeenee to the LaiU , ' ' HlLLSBORO, Feb. 4. Gus Wachlina was hanged in the county courtyard at 12:15 today. Fully 00 people saw the death pen alty inflicted on tne hardened mur derer. Tbe crime for which the condemn ed murderer paid the death penalty was the killing of John D. Ledrick, a German farmer, who lived near Corne lius, in Washington county, April 13, 1895. It was one of the most atrocious murders ever committed in the state. Wachline met bis fate unflinching ly. On the eillows he spoke a few words of farewell which were not heard by a dozen spectators. He stolidly proclaimed his innocence in his last moment. He kept his eyes on the ground. Not once did he look into the eager crowd around him for the face of friend or foe in the small enclosure surrounding the death trap. With his head bowed, the bla.-k cap was pulled down over bis face, and like a statue the doomed man awaited the end. The doomed man's last words were: "I die an innocent man. Tbe sworn statement I made aras true. May the Lord Jesus take me." Miss Allie Hughes, Norfolk, Va., was frightfully burned on the face and neck. Pain was instantly relieved by DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, which healed the injury without leaving a scar, it is tne lamous pile remedy. Snipes, Kinersly Drug Co. Telephone Line to the Klondike.

With 371 pas eengers, including the first detach' ment of troops for the Alaska relief expedition, 56 horses, 50 dogs and 1150 tons of freight, the steamer Eider left Alaska wharf for the fur north, at 10:30 o'clock, last night. Though the wharf was well filled with sightseers, it was not crowded to suffocation, for many of the Cider's passengers were. from outside of Poptland, and had no friend's hero to see them off. Some 200 tons of the Elder's freight was for the government relief ex pedition, 400 tons was miners' outfits and 550 tons general freight. All the freight save a few outfits was aboard in the afternoon, and the wondering and objecting dogs were taken aboard while the passengers were embarking. Everything went off smoothly and when the gang plank was pulled up, and the big steamer swung out into the river she was given as rousiug a cheer as that which followed her on her first trip northward. Prosperity comes quickest to the man whoso liyer is in good condition. DeWitt's Little Early Risers are fa mous little pills for constipation, bili ousness, indigestion and all stomach and liver troubles. Snipes, Kinersly Drug Co. MORE GOLD IN KLONDIKE. Rich Strikes on Hanker. Indian and Hen. derson Greeks. San Francisco, Feb. 4. General C. W. Turner, of this city, has receiyed several letters from the Yukon which tend to contradict the report of Cap tain Ray to the Washington authori ties as to the failure to discover new placers along the river last year. . The letters were written ia December last by Colonel Samuel Word, who is in camp on the Yukon four miles south of Five-finger Rapids, lie is a pioneer of Montana, and took with him to Alaska six men to assist in prospect ing. He reached the river ia Septem ber and his camp was in a situation, where he had opportunities of talking with cut going miners.

A conference was held last night of all tbe large ex porters of American fruits to consider the unexpected attitude of Prussia in prohibiting the importation of fruits from this country. All the leading exporters were present, and it was found by comparing uotrs that more than 25,003 barrels of fruit were either in transit or all ready at German potts which will be prohibited from enter ing. The exporters of fruit decided to forward an appeal to Washington, asking that the government try to get the embargo raised. Small pill, safe pill, best pill.

Passengers oi the City of Seattle, which arrived early yesterday morning, bring C a story of a double murder at Skagway just before the sailing of the steamer, and ' of the p-obable lynching of the chief culprit. Deputy United States Marshal J. M. tiowen ana Andrew .dcuratn were shot and killed in Rice's variety theater by Edward Fay, a bartender, cay was being guarded at last ac counts by a committee of citizens, who hud closed the theater. Marshal Bowen was on his way to obtain medical assistance for his wife, wno bad snortly before become a mother, when the affair occured. The shooting grew out of a brawl in which McGrath was a participant. - He be- came involved in a quarrel with one of tne female attaches of the theater, whom he accused of stealing $140 from his pocket. Rice, tbe proprietor of the place and a number of "heelers," it is alleged,, jumped on McGrath, in flicting several wounds in the back of his head, McGrath escaped, and went out of the place to get his gun. He met Deputy Marshal Rowen and told him the story. Rowen started for the tbeater with McGrath, the latter entering the house with tbe rest. When McGrath entered the house, he immediately took off bis coat and struck at Fay with his fist. Fay im mediately drew his revolver and fired, tho bullet striking McGrath in the groin. He dropped to a chair without a word. Rowen turned ' to pull his revolver from his pocket, when Fay fired ajain, the bullet striking Rowen in the stomach. Rowen reeled but did not fall, and reached tbe street, where a friend found him. He died of internal hemorrhage two hours later- Marshal Rowen's wife, who had only that morning become a mother, suc cumbed to the shock on hearing of her husband's death, and their child ex pired shortly after. .'Fay was arrested by a self-consti tuted police committee. - The original intention was to send him to .Juneau by the first boat, but on Mrs. Rowen's death it was decided to give him a short shift. He was to be hacged by order of the citizens' committee the day the Seattle left. BLANCO MUST FALL. Cannot Much Longer Hold Ont Against the Opposition. New York, Feb. 7. A Havana dis patch to the Tribune-says: Tbe government is looking for a scape-goat. If one is feund, Madrid will be satisfied a while longer, and tbe present situation may continue. Nevertheless the prevailing view is that explanations cannot be made which will be satisfactory. So much was expected from Gereral Blanco's continuous .rip around tbe island and so little has come from it that the dis appointment felt cannot be coacealed. The captain-general's promise that this month will bring peace seems to haye been taken literally in Spain. It was not so here. The statement that the captain-general was on a trip of in spection engaged chiefly in visiting the hospitals, does not satisfy the hopes that had been entertained. Tbe iutransigentes in Cuba may re frain from open demonstrations of hostility, though they are becoming restless. What they will do cannot be predicted with certainty, but they are not hesitatiug to spur the conserva tives in Spain to action, and this brings the government back to the question of the scapegoat. General Pando apparently thinks he may be selected for that role. Tbe Weylerites are watching their chances and Gene.-al Seguere has returned to the peninsula, ready to condemn Pando's plan of military operations in the eastern part of the island. Many things prevent them from pub licly deriding tbe captain-general, but among them many show a tendency to demand evidences of tbe peace that is coming. The sick soldiers who are brought from eastern provinces to Havana military hospitals are not evi dences of it. Their places are taken by tho new recruits from Spain.

ARB TOP TO LIVE IN ALAHKA? some Requirements That 1111 be Fonad Indispensable. Ihe universal article of diet in that country, depended upon and indispens able, is bread or biscuit. And to make the bread and biscuit, either in the camp or upon the trail, yeast can not be used it must be baking powder; and the powder manufactured by pro cesses of the Royal Baking Powder Company, miners and prospectors nave learned, is the only one which will stand ia that peculiar climate of coll and dampness and raise the bread and biscuit satisfactorily. These facts are very important for every one proposing to go to Alaska and the Yukon country to know, for should he be persuaded by some out fitter to take one of the cheap' brands of baking powder,- it will cost just as much to transport it, atd then when be opens it for use, after all his labor in packing it over the long and dif ficult route, ha will find a solid caked mass or a lot of spoiled powder, with no strength and useless. Such a mis take miirht lead to the most serious results. Alaska is no dace in which to experiment in food, or try to econo mize with your 'stomach. . For use In such a climate, and under the trying and fatiguing conditions of life aid labor in that country, everything must be the best and the most useful, and above all it is imperative that all food supplies shall have perfect keeping qualities. It is absurd to convey over such difficult and expensive routes an article that will deteriorate in transit, or that will be found when required for use to have lost a great part of its value. . There is no better guide to follow in tbeso matters than the advice of those who have gone through similar exper ience. Mr. McQuesten. who is called the father of Alaska," after an ex perience of years upon the trail, in tbe camp, and in the use of every kind of supply, says: "We find in Alaska that the importance of a proper kind of baking powder cannot be overestimat ed. A miner with a can of bad baking powder Is almost helpless in Alaska. We have tried all sorts, and have been obliged to settle down to use nothing but the Royal. It is stronger and car ries further, but above all things, it Is the only powder that will endure the severe climatie changes of the arctic region. 1 , .. It is for the same reasons that the U. S. Government in its relief ex peditiqns, and Peary, the famous arc tic traveler, have carried tbe Royal Baking Powder exclusively. The Royal Baking Powder will not cake nor lose its strength either on board ship or in damp climates, and is the most highly concentrated and ef ficientof leaveniag agents. Hence it is indispensable to every Alaskan out fit. It, can be bad of any of tbe trad ing companies in Alaska, but should the midor procure his supplies before leaving, be should resist every at tempt of the outfitter to palm off upon him any of the other brands of baking powder, for they will spoil and prove the cause of great disapoiatment and trouble.

The work of coverlnglha "brewery hill with crushed rock, that' was coin menced by the city about a month-"ago, is at present about completed. The city rock crusher was stationed about half way f p the grade, and from that place crushed rock s has been hauled each way from the foot to the top of the hill, and the road has been covered with from six to 18 Inches of fine rock, which when packed will -make a very durable and solid road bed. The improvement reaches from the East end of Second street to the city limits, a distance of half a mile, and makes of the brewery grade, which for several years past has been In fear ful condition, one of the beat roads la the county. The cost of the work when -completed will be about $500. The ex- pensels botn by the city, the work having been done under the super vision of Marshal Lauer. ; Now if the county would take up the , work where the city has left off, aad cover the road as far out as Eight-Mile with crushed rock, the most generally traveled tbroughfare in tbe county , would be put in splendid repair. The' . expense of doing the work would not be so great from the city limits on the r south "as it was on the brewery, grade,' possibly not more than $300 a mile, as 400 "loads of rock per mile would be about all that would be required, and . the rock can be crushed and laid down ' for 75 cents a load. More travel passes over that piece of road. than any other in the county; in fact, nearly all the heavy loads come over It, and for . this reason the county court would be ustified In expending a considerable j amount of money" repairing it. Complimentary So The Dallas. Industrial Agent Judson, of the O. R. & N. Co., was interviewed by tbe ' Oregoaian a few days ago regarding the cattle-men's meeting at Pendleton and the conveqtlon of wool growers to be held at The Dalles. Among other things he said: "As an illustration of the active' in terest Eastern Oregon people are taking in the move for development and improvement of agricultural re sources, I was in conference with the ' Commercial Club, at The Dalles, the . .other day, and I was asked how much meney would be needed to start the preparations for holding a woolgrowert convention. I estimated ' that $100 would do for a starter. 'Ah, well,' said a prominent member of the club . ' to the committee, 'take $300 and gst tbe thing going, and there will be no difficulty about raising more money when It shall be needed. - We are bound to make a success of li.' Charles Hilton, one of the big sheepmen of Wasco county, promises to see t it that every sheepman, and woolgrower of that region will attend the sheep and wool convention. "Tbe opera-house has been secured for the convention, which will be in connection with the farmers' institute, under the direction of tbe state agri cultural college, and there ia absolute ' ly no reason to doubt that it will be a great success as a public gathering, . and of much practical value to the farmers and the wool and mutton raisers." IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. The Co: lerelal islah Taking Hold of the Matter of Traasportatloau Last night a very enthusiastic meet ing of the executive committee of tbe . Commercial Club was held in the Club parlors, the matter under considera tion being that of transportation. Numerous plans were laid before the committee both for extending wagea and railroads into the interior; but that which received greatest atten-, tion was 'the one suggested ,ln these columns several days ago, of building a road south toward the Prineville country with a view to centering the trade of Crook and Grant counties at The Dalles. The members of the nommltte were well pleased with the plans thus far presented, and were unanimous for be ginning Immediate action that will lead to preliminary work lu that di rection. The cemmlttee will hold other meetings in a few days at which . the possibility of definite action will be fully discussed, and it is quite evident when feasible Diana can be outlined a move will be started to connect The Dalles by rail with the county to the ; south.
