SPAIN IS TAK
ING HER TIME
Sasrasta Has a Most Difficult
Problem to Solve.
Washington, Aug 6. Nd reply has
been received from Spain nor any in
timation as to how soon it might be
expected. The French ambassador
had not been heard from throughout
the day, and he, as well as our govern
ment officials, was waiting for SDain
to give the final response. Two days
have now passed without a word
officially from Spain, either in the way
of i no. uiry or response. From this it
is clear that the Spanish cabinet fully
realizes that the time for argument.
counter proposals or modification has
gone by. and that there is only one
simple issue, to be met, namely,
whether America s terms will oe ac
cepted as a whole or ce rejected.
There is indeed, reason to believe
that the Spanish government has been
directly advised that the stage of nego
tiations is past, and that only the mat
ter of an answer, favorable or unfavor
able, remains. That the answer has
not come quickly is no matter of sur
prise to the officials here, for they
realize the tremendous responsibility
which Premier Sagasta must assume
in making these peace terras sufficient
ly palatable to the Spanish populace
and the political leaders to permit
their acceptance without an internal
convulsion. In his conferences with
r.he president and and Secretary Day,
the French ambassador has brought
out cleary the great task before Sag
as ta.
DREW THE COLOR LINE
Cause of
the Trouble in
Massachusetts.
the Sixth
Boston, Aug. 6. A Transcript spec
ial from Porto Rico says:
Of the Sixth Massachusetts officers,
the colonel, lieutenant-colonel, three
majors and three captains resigned.
They were charged with incompetency
and lack of discipline. The trouble in
the Sixth Massachusetts is partiy
attributed to the fai-t that white oili
cers refuse to return the salutations of
the negro company. The trouble no
doubt will end in a separation, which
will be, in fact, a disbandment.
How Politicians Plan
Portland, Aug. 6. The latest fad
in house . warmings, has now been
introduced in this city by the county
and municipal office holders and local
republican politicians, who meet at
one another's places of residence, in
the interest of a good and economical
government.' The principal theme, is
(not what the republican party has
done) but what it is going to do. As
a matter of fact at these meetings, the
"Pennoyer administration comes in
for its usual triade of abuse by the
Mr. 3peaker,(who did not know that
he was to be called on to make a speed?,
but.under the circumstances will dj
the best he can.) When, thesd pol
itical clans meet and when so much
brotherly love is shown for the poor
tax-payers in the interest of good
government and low taxes, at these
clandestine meetings, it is about
time to look out for another sample
job, similar to the Morrison Street
bridge or Stark Street ferry.
A Renegade Rewarded.
Portland, Aup 6. John P. Me-
Eatee, who was recently appointed
deputy health officer by the Simon
ring of this city, was before the last
election an uncompromising demo
crat and also a city and county com
mitteeman from the 3rd ward. It has
been to the democracy of Portland for
some time that the party contained
quite a large number of wolves in
sheep, 9 clothing, and can only thank
Mr. Simon for his kindness in bring
ing some of them before the public,
where their political faith may become
universally known. It is only to be
hoped Mr. Simon will reward the bal
ance of the Benedict Arnolds, as he
is known to control quite a .large num
ber of these assistant republicans
under the banner of democracy.
PORTLAND NEWS MOTES.
Portland, Aug.6. The British
snip "John Cook," now here and
under charter to load wheat for Cape
Town, will be the first vessel of the
season to load new wheat. She will
load immediately or as soon as enough
new wheat arrives to complete her
cannerymen by the score
are arriving in the city, from the field
of their recent labors, where-they can
worship "Josh" and have a general
good time until the hop season begins.
PORTLAND MEWS NOTES.
Portland, Aug. 8- Quite.a num
ber of Arizona miners are in the city
on their way to the new and promis
ing mines of British Columbia.
Reports from the hop fields are to
the effect that the hot weather of the
.last few days has completely destroyed
the hop lice.
Mr. L. A. Edgerton a mi n log expert
from ' Montana, passed through this
city yesterday on his way to inspect
the mines of the celebrated Bohemia
district.
Mountain quails are very plentiful
in the Willamette Valley,- and scorrn
of them can be seen every morning in
the rail road yards of the O. R. & N. in
this city feeding on the waste from
grain cars.
Klondike Stories,
Portland, Aug. 8 It seems
strange that from interviews had with
dozens of returning Klondikers that
none of them tell the same story.
With some, Klondike, is a veritable
peaveo, while with others it is just the
reverse. But all generally aree on
the fact that the output of the mines
and the amount of gold-dust reported i
Royal makes the food pure,
wholesome and delicious.

W Udman to Acninalilo.
London, Aug. 6. The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Daily News says
The prospect of America abandoning
the Philippines has well nigh brought
on a panic. The insurgent leaders
are greatly dissatisfied with the Amer
icans and British here. Mr. Wildman,
the United States consul, has replied
to Aguinaldo as follows:
"Trust to the honor and the justice
of the United States, and let nothing
interfere with the first task of throw
ing off the Spanish yoke. I believe in
you, and do not disappoint me."
Only One Vessel In Port.
Portland, Aug The bark. Alex
ander Black, wheat laden was towed
down the river at 8 o'clock yesterday
morning, bound for Cape Town Africa.
This only leaves one sailing vessel in
port, the John Cook, which is very un
usual for this time of yea'r, but is a
good showing as every vessel arriving
under charter were quickly loaded,
and all uthers were chartered immedi-
lately and dispathed with last seasons
grain. Hence tne scarcity oi vessels
at this time of year.
Satisfied With Miles' Plana.
Washington, Aug. 6. It can be
said that, up to this .time, the officials
are thoroughly satisfied with General
Miles' conduct of the Porto Rican
campaign, and they do not hesitate to
admit that the events that haye occur
red since his landing at Guanici fuily
justify the arbitraay change made by
him in the carefully laid plans of the
department for the conduct of the
campaign.
Prince of Wales May Come.
LONDON. Aug. 6. It is reported in
connection with the Anglo-American
movetntiut, that strong endeavors are
being made to get the Prince of Wales
to visit the United States and Canada
next summer." '.- ;: -
Alarls Teresa Floated.
Norfolk, Va., Aug. 6. The Mer
ritt Wrecking Company has received
advices that make it certain that the
Infanta Maria Teresa is now floated,
and is now in a fairly good condition
as to her machinn.y and boilers. She
will shortly start for Norfolk undw
her own steam.
K leven More Have Died.
Santiago, Aug. 8 Thore were
eleven deaths among the soldiers of
General Shafter's army yesterday.
Only a few new cases of yellow fever

Berlin, Aug. 7. It is announced
on good authority that Germany wants
the Philippine islands and stands
ready to pay a -good price for them
either to Spain or the United States.

During
London, Aug. 9. A dispatch from
Hong Kong pays:
The German steamer Petrarch left
Manila August 6 and has arrived here.
She reports that the Spanish soldiers
at Manila attacked the American
camp on the night of July 31.
The Spanish forces were over 3000
strong. They charged the American
line several times. The fire of the
Americans broke the Spanish center,
and they retreated. Later, they made
a second charge, but shortly retreated
to the bushes, keeping up an incessant
fire.
Eleven Americans were killed, and
37 wounded.
Spanish losses are reported to be
heavy.
During the fighting the rebels re
mained neutral.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
American Losses Thirteen Killed and
Forty-Seven Wounded.
San Francisco, Aug. 9. A special
to the Call, from Cavite, August 6, via
Hong Kong, August 9, says:
The American forces engaged the
enemy before Malate on last Sunday
ight, and compelled them to retreat
with heavy losses.
Our troops lost 13 killed and 47
wounded.
It has been, impossible to ascertain
the exact losses of the Spanish.'
The fighting lasted four hours.
The American troops engaged were
part of the Tenth Pet nsylvania, First
California and the Third regular artil
lery. The Spanish led in the attack, at
tempting to dislodge our troops by a
flanking movement, from the strong
position they have been holding near
the enemy's lines. The position is
still held by our troops.
ABE OFF
FOR SPAIN
Eight Hundred Prisoners Leave For
Home.
Washington, Aug. 8. Information
was received by Adjutant-General Cor
bin tonight, from Colonel Humphrey,
in charge of the transportation ar
rangements at Santiago, that the
Spanish hospital ship Alicante sailed
from there today with 800 of the Span
ish prisoners for Spain. It is supposed
that the Alicante carries a majority
of the sick and wounded of General
Toral's army, as he would naturally
send them first. The war department
has no definite information as to the
sailing of other Spanish vessels.

SENATOR HERMANN.
He Looms up Well as A Candidate
For the Place.
Portland, Aug. 9. The friends of
Binger Hermann are making a des
perate attempt to create a senatorial
boom in the interest of the ex-congressman.
It has been reported from
good authority that several members
elect of tbe legislature haye already
been interviewed in , the interest of
Hermann. The fact that neither
Corbett nor Simon stand a ghost of a
khow Sf electio'n, and that T the choice
must fall to some dark horse, . has
tended to put renewed vigor' into the
George1 and Hermann booms with
honors about evenly divided. But it
is said to Herman's credit that in case
he is able to make anything of a show
ing ni the senatorial race, that he will
also be able to control several pop
ulist-fusion votes from the southern
part of the state, thereby infeuring his
election. The wily-Binger has not
made hand-shaking, . and Southern
Oregon pension cases specialties all
these long years for naught.

AMERICA'S BIGGEST CROP
Wheat Yield Exceeds the Bumper
Crop of 1891.
Chicago, Aug. 8. The Post today
says: "According to reports receivea
hy railway companies and business
men, the lagest wheat crop in the
history of the United States will be
harvested within a . fortnight. The
winter wheat yield, whiph aggregates
from 375,000,000 to 400,000:000 will be
increased to the extent of nearly 390,
000,000 from the spring-wheat region.
The 'bumper' crop- of 1891 will be
eclipsed this year by 100.000,000 bush
els, from present indications. Reports
received from members of the Nation
al Association of Merchants &
Travelers, who are assembled here to
attend the fall meeting, afford positive
proof, it is declared, that a new era of
prosperity is at hand throughout the
great West. Railroad officials who
have just come in from extended .trips
throughout the spring wheat and
oorn-growing states, make equally
optimistic reports. State crop reports
received today from Kansas and Mis
souri and Michigan say: 'A bumper
crop is here. "

Looks Lik an Elephant.
The traction engine and freight
train belonging to F. M. Chrlsman, a
prosperous Silver Lake merchant, has
arrived here in care of Moody's ware
house, and is being put together and
plaoed in readiness for making a trial
frip into Lake county. The engine is
a monster, and if it - proves a success
will look like an elephant climbing the
hills of Eastern Oregon, and it is fear
ed will prove an elephant on Mr.
Chrisman's hands, for the roads over
which it must travel are not built
with a view of holding up such won
Qroua loads. The tender and freight
wagons are monsters, and will carry
from six to seven tons, but will prove
unwieldy vehicles on the winding
roads between here and Silver Lake.
Ranches in the Philippines.
In a recent letter written by John M.
Jones, a member of Company H.
Second Oregon regiment, to a friend
at Forest Grove, dated at Manila, July
1, is the opinion of one now on the
ground that the climate of the Philip
pine archipelago Is the finest is the
world, Oregon not excepted. The
islands are the most productive on
earth, will support a population of
40,000,000 people, and if the crown
lands of the archipelago become the
public domain of the United States, it
is the expressed purpose of Mr. Jones
and most of bis comrades to secure
ranches.
