London, Oct. 28. The Pall Mall
Gazette this afternoon summarized the
result of the British cabinet meeting
yesterday, as follows:
Marcband must be withdrawn un
conditionally and no undertaking or
promise can be given to discuss the
questions raised by France in regard
to access to the Nile, etc. When
Marchand is withdrawn it will be de
termined whether the question raised
admits of discussion and under what
conditions the discussion can be pro
ceeded with.
If Marchand is not withdrawn, there

it is left to France to adopt any active
measures to precipitate the conflict.
The Gazette adds that it has good
reason to believe tbat while Kussia

I difflcultv and avoid war.

she had
promised to throw her weight in the
scale at no distant date for the purpose
of bringing the whole Egypt question
and British occupantion of Egypt to
the front for settlement.
There does not seem the slightest
ground for the report of yesterday
that the British cabinet had decided
to declare a British protectorate over I
Egypt. It was based solely on a Lon- I
don dispatch to Paris Soir. The
papers do not comment on the state
ment made, the St. James Gazette
alone alludes to the subject, urging
the government to adopt such a
course.
WORK OF TH1 PKACK COMMISSION.
Oatlook
for an Early Settlement
Is
Encouraging
Washington, Oct. 28. The presi
dent was enabled to lay before the cabi
net todav 'very encouraging reports
from Paris regarding the progress of
peace negotiations which will be con
cluded much sooner than was expect
ed from the outlook a few days ago.
It can be stated authoritatively that
the commissioners have hot yet actu
ally begun the discussion of the Phili
pine Question, and further that it will
not be taken ud until next week.
The recent action of the United
States government, intimating that
the negotiations were proceeding too
slowly, has had an effect upon the
Spanish Commissioners, and they are
n ot likely to debate the remaining
propositions to the length they did
settlement of the Cuban debt.
The United States has not assumed
nor guaranteed the so-called munici
pal debt of Cuba or Cuban municipali
ties, but it is expected such debts will
be paid by themanicipaliiies incurring
them, for by no reason could they be
charged upon Spain.
THE CUBAN ASSEMBLY.
First session Being Held at the Tillage
of Santa Crux.
New York, Oct. 28. A dispatch to
the Herald from Santiago' says the
cradle of Cuban independence is the
desolate fishing village of Santa Cruz,
a place with only 400 inhabitants on
the shores of the Caribbean sea. An
old store is the Faneuil ball of the re
public. There tne Cuban assembly
was called together for its first session
October 24. There are eight deputies
from each of the six corps of the Cu
ban army. After organization the first
business that will occupy the assembly
will be the appointment of a commis
sion to consult with President McKin-
luy in regard to the state of affairs in
Cuba.
Food and water are scarce in Santa
Cruz, and the assembly will probably
adjourn in about a week to meet in
Mariano, The assembly will remain
in session at one place or another un
til the new government is formed by a
general election.
Fierce Fight With Indians.
Canyon City. Or., Oct. 28. A des
perate battle has occurred in Grant
county between five Indians and a
sheriff's posse, which was in pursuit
of the redskins, on account of the lat
ter haying shot two settlers last
Wednesday. Diring fhe fight one
member of the posse and all five of the
Indians re killed.
Sut'lro have sent to Canyon City
for more ammunition, stating that
Indians are gathering around Izee in
large numbers.
The trouble arose over the Indians
accusing the whites of stealing horses.
Granted A New. Trial.
Paris, Oct. 28. At today's session
of the court of cessation, M. Bard con
cluded his report of the Dreyfus case,
the first part of which was presented
yesterday. M. Mornard, counsel for
Mino. Dreyfus, demanded that an in
vestigation be ordered concerning the
divergency of the testimony of the ex
perts who examined the bordereau in
1894 and in 1897, and also to ascertain
whether the secret documents - were
communicated to members of the
court-martial. There was no excite
ment outside the palace of justice.

WAR MAY BE

A Peaceful Settlement of the
Fashoda Incident Likely.
London, Oct. 30. The arrival of
Major Marchand at Khartoum, on his
way to Cairo, with the portion of his
report which was not finished when
Captain Baratier left Fashoda, is re
garded as a rift in the clouds over-
hanging Anglo-French relations, for,
I in spite of the semi-official denial is-
I sued in Paris that orders were sent to
the major to go to Cairo, it is fully be
lieved here that the French officer
would not be on his way to Cairo un
less he had received a hint to that ef
fect from the French government.
which considers his leaving Fashoda
will take the sting out of the situation
and at the same time prepare France
for the eventual withdrawal of the
whole expedition, which now consists
of seven officers and 120 men.
Tho British view of thu latest moye
is that the Marquis of Salisbury and
ministers are delighted to afford Major
Marchand the facilities for reaching
Cairo. But they would hardly care to
send him back except in the capacity
of a guest or scientific explorer. Tbat
is to say, France will first have to re
nounce her principal claims based on
his mission.
In the menu while, in the volun
tary return of Major Marchand, the
French minister of foreign affairs, Del
Casse, and the government of France
have got over a great difficulty' fronr a
amour propre point of view. M. Del
Casse had declared that the French
government could not do the impos
sible, that is to say, recall Major
Marchhand. Therefore, the latter's
turn has enabled the French govern
ment to "save its face." as the saying
goes. It is recognized, however, tbat
if the tri-color of France is hauled
down at Fashoda, the main subject of
dispute remains and may cause anx
ious moments iu both countries before
the Bahr-El-Ghazal question is settled,
although there nas been a confident
feeling for the last few days that war
will be averted.
THANKSUIVInG PROCLAMATION.
McKinley Believes Hioself of Some Cam
paign Thunder In Announcing the Day.
Washington, Oct. 30. On Satur
day President McKinley issued the
following Thanksgiving proclamation:
"By the President of the United
States A Proclamation: The ap
proaching November brings to mind
the customs of our ancestors, hallowed
by time and rooted in our most sacred
traditions, of giving thanks to Al
mighty God for all the blessings he
has vouchsafed to us during the past
year. .
"Few years in our history have af
forded such cause for thanksgiving.
We have been blessed by abundant
harvests, our trade and commerce
have been wonderfully increased, our
public credits have been improved and
strengthened, all sections of our coun
try have been brought together and
knitted into closer bond of national
purpose and unity.
"The skies have been for a time
darkened by the cloud of war, but as
we were compelled to take up the
sword in the cause of humanity, we
are oermitted to rejoice that the con
flict has been of brief duration, and the
losses we have had to mourn, though
grevious and important have been so
few, considering the great results ac
complished, as to inspire us with grati
tude and praise to the Lord of Hosts.
We may laud and magnify bis holy
name that the cessation of hostilities
came so soon as to spare both sides tne
countless sorrows of protracted war.
'I do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens, those at home as well as those
who may be at sea or sojourning in
foreign lands, to set apart and observe
Thursday, the 24th day of November,
as a day of national thanksgiving, to
come together in their several places
of worship for a service of praise and
thanks to Almighty God for the bless
ings of the year, the mildness of the
seasons and the frultfulness of the
soil; for the continued prosperity of
the people; for the devotion and valor
of our countrymen; for the glory of
our victory and the hope of a righteous
peace, and to pray that the divine
guidance which has brought us here
tofore to safety and boner may be
graciously continued in the years to
come. In witness whereof, etc.

John Hay,
Secretary of State." '
Washington's Oldest Pioneer Dies.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Oct. 31. Nich-
olas Dupuis, aged 84, died at his home
in this city yesterday morning of old
age. Mr. Dupuis was at the time of
his death the oldest living pioneer in
this state, having come to Vancouver
in 1833, in tbe employ of the Hudson
Bay company, and with tbe exception
of a few years has made Clark county
his home. -
HI IX TAKC THE WHOLE THING
The
fhUipuiue Islands
Mast Fall to
America.
Washington, Oct. 30. Advices
from Paris are to the effect that there
is no change in the peace commission
situation.
The determination seems to have
been reached bv the United States
government to retain all of the Philip
Dine islands, and the controversy, if
any, will be over the allowance to
Soain for the Islands. This feature
of the case is now being carefully con
sldered by the administration in
Washington and by the American
commissioners in fans.
President McKinley is convinced
there is no way in which the United
States can escape responsibility of
taking all the Philippines. He has
arrived at the conclusion after mature
deliberation. When the American
commissioners left for Paris it was not
contemplated that they should demand
of the Spanish more than absolute ces
sion of one island to the United States
and a revlslonary Interest in the other
islands of the group.
It has been found, however, that
there were many practical difficulties
n the way of such a solution, not the
least of them being the evident impos
sibility of Spain's re-establishing au
thority over the remalng islands with
out a prolonged and bloody struggle
with the insurgent forces.
Caught by Ice In the Yukon.
San Francisco, Oct. 31. Ice was
making on the Yukon and there was
thin Ice at Dutch Harbor when the
Portland sailed on October 11. . The

ters at Dutch Harbor. At least a
dozen liver steamers are stuck on
sand bars in Yukon and all will prob-
bly be lost. The Dawson City is a
total wreck. The Herman and Tacoma
are aground and the other boats are in
such perilous positions that when the
ice breaks up they may go to pieces.
The Everlasting Dreyfus Inquiry.
Paris, Oct. 31. The criminal sec
tion of the court of cassation appointed
a counsellor today to proceed with the
supplementary inquiry into the Drey
fus case, and counsel for the Dreyfus
family went to the minister for the
purpose of studying the secret docu
ments in the case. M. Lockroy, who
is still acting as minister of ,war, pend
ing the installation of hip successor,
raised difficulties about the delivery of
the documents and only allowed coun
sel to inspect certain of them.

"No monarchical government would

WAR CLOUDS '
- LOWERING AGAIN
War With England
and
France Seems Probable.
London, Oct. 31. There was an un
expectedly gloomy feeling this morn
ing on the stock exchange and the
Paris bourse, both -markets . being
influenced, it is inferred from the
aggressive tone of some of the French
papers. Besides this something extra
ordinary seems to have happened and
it looks as if a crisis was approaching:
The British naval preparations are
being pushed with great activity. The
British emergency squadron is gather
ing at Devenport with' all - possible
speed and seven battle-ships and one
cruiser so far have been designated to
join the squadron. The. officers und
sailors have been hurriedly recalled
from leave of absence,' several battle
ships and cruisers at ' Portsmouth are
taking full crews on board, and othor
warlike preparations are being made.
A number of signalmen now on duty
with the British channel, 'squadron,
which arrived at Gibraltar this morn
ing, have been ordered hope for se
vice. . " ,
It was asserted today that officers of
the volunteer had received orders to
prepare for immediate mobilization,
and it was stated that tbedifferent
army corps had been Informed as to
the ports on. the southern and western
coasts to which they have been alloted.
The Pall Mall Gazette this after
noon says: "Englauchas -.JbOi ' and
even "now is so near war that the gov
ernment has carried its preparations
to the farthest limit of the Preparatory
stage. It has been arranged to call
out the reserves and militia and to
mobilize the volunteers simultaneously
and to form large camps at various
important railroad junctions where
rolling stock and locomotives will be
concentrated.
Will Take Everything' in Slent.
Paris, Oct. 31. At a meeting of the
peace commission today the Ameri
cans presented a written expression of
the purpose of the United States to
take the entire group of the Philippine
islands and to assume such proportion
of the Philippine debt aa bas been
spent for the benefit of the islands in
public work&, improvements and per
manent betterments. It was also set
forth that the United States would not
assume any part of the Philippine
debt which had been incurred by Spain
for the furtherance of military or naval
operations to quell the insurrections
of the natives. The session, which
lasted a little oyer an hour, adjourned
until Friday, in order to give the Span
iards time to prepare a reply.
Affair at Havana.
New York, Oct. 31. A dispatch to
the herald from Havana says:
The work of cataloguing the military
property of tbe Santa Clara battery
has begun.
The committee which is inquiring
into the health conditions of Guana
bacoa, a proposed site for a camp for
troops, has found that there has been
898o deaths there during the last two
years and ten months. The former
death rate was 250 annually. Local

Washington, Oct. 31. The Celtic,
one of the colliers which is accom.

at the department tbat the latter will
also arrive at Bahia in the course of a

of Spain.
Washington, Nov. 2. While the
cabinet gave little attention today to
the peace negotiations at Paris, there
is no longer any doubt as to the gener
al purpose of the government to retain
the entire Philippine archipelago. If
after final balancing of account, viz.,
the C09t of war to the United States on
cue side and out; acquisitions oo .-the
other it is found any compensation is
due the Spaniards, it will be made in
a lump sum.
What the United States will insist
upon is tbat it must be fully reim
bursed for every dollar expended on
account of the war, and in the state
ment, will be included an amount
sufficient to cover all payments,
present ana prospective, on account
of pensions incidental to the war. No
Spanish bonds other than local or mu
nicipal will be paid or assumed by this
government.
What sum this government would
consent to pay Spain cannot be even
estimated, but when a final account is
rendered it is believed the balance due
Spain will be small, probably not ex
ceeding $25,000,000 or $30,000,000. '
PLEAD , GtJILTT TO MURDER .
Green Confesses That He and Branton
Killed Una. ;
EUGENE. Or., Nov. 1. A highly
sensational denouement to the John
Linn murder case occured today when
Courtland Green, jointly indicted with
Claude Branton Jot the crime,' pleaded
guilty to a charge, of murder In the
first 'degree. . Green has ' agreed, to
testify against-Branton at II o'clock
tomorrow forenoon, at the - latter's
trial, which began yesterday. .' - ' ;
Green will be sentenced next Mon
day. . " -' -
The first intimation that' Linn had
been" murdered came, it will be re
membered ia, a story told by Green to
the authorities of Lane county, to the
effect that' Branton and Green were
coming across the Cascade mountains
witb Linn, with a band of horses 'last
June. Linn and Branton bad trouble
over a settlement . while camping at
Squaw creek,-Crook county. Tbey ar.
rived at Alder springs June 15 and
corraled their horses. Linn lay down
by the fire. Green said that soon after
while be was getting wood, he heard
the report, of a pistol. He looked
around, and saw Branton standing
over Linn with a smoking revolver.
Linn was shot through the head.
An examination of the scene of the
killing showed that Linn's bidy was
chopped to pieces and carefully cre
mated. A coroner's jury accused
Branton of the murder. Branton dis
appeared ani uo clew to bis where
abouts could be obtained, although a
reward of $250 was offered for his
capture, until he was arrested on tbe
streets of Eugene on July 20. He then
disclaimed any knowledge of the
crime, declaring that he did not know
that he was wanted until a few min
utes before his arrest. He said that
after he left the scene of the crime he
went as far east as Topeka, Kan., in
search of work, but finding none, re
turned home. He was indicted by the
Lane county grand jury for murder in
the first degree.
At tbe preliminary examination
Green was bound over to the grand

hops from the Methodist Episcopal
church, who have been holding their
semi-annual conference in this city,
voted to call for a "20th century offer
ing" of $20,000,000 from the member
of the Methodist' church. Tho funds
will be collected at intervals before
January 1, 1901 and the sum wanted is
expected to be : eeeived by tnat date.

the improvement of educational and
charitable institutions now maintained
by the M. E. church. None of it will
be used for the establishment -of new
institutions. The call for the fund

that they will not be a burden.
