Manila, Feb. 10 -The American
forces at 3:40 this afternoon made a
combiced attack upon Colocan and re
duced it in short order. At a signal
from the tower of the de la Loma
church (United States sitrnal station),
the double-turreted monitor Monad
nockjopened Gre from the bay with
the big guos of ber fore turret on the
earthworks, with great effect. Soon
afterwards the battery bombarded the
place from another position.
The rebels reserved their fire until
the bombardment ceased, when tbey
fired volleys of musketry as the Mon
tana regiment advanced on the jungle.
The Kansas regiment, on the ex
treme left, with the artillery deploying
to the right, charged across the open
and carried the earthworks, cheering
under a heavy fire. Supported by the
artillery at the church, the troops ad
vanced, driving the enemy, fighting
every foot, right into the town line,
and penetrated to the presidency and
lowered the Filipino Bag at 5:30 P. M.
The enemies' sharpshooters in the
jungle on the right fired at long range
on the Pennsylvania regiment, but
the rebels were soon silenced by shrap-
hel shells and the Pennsylvanians re
mained in the trenches. As the
Americans advanced they burned the
live houses. The rebels were mowed
down like ' grass, but the American
losses were slight.

The Administration Proposes to Uphold
the Chief Justice of
Samoa.
New York, Feb. 10. A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Dispatches have been received at the
state departement from Consul-Gen'
eral Osborne and Chief Justice Cham
bers at Samoa, giving the principal
points in the decision of Chief Justice
Chambers in regard to the selection of
Maiieto Tanus as king, and the officials
satisfied that the decision w
proper, ana will upnoia tne cniei
justice.
The administration is determined to
adhere to the terms of the Berlin
treaty. It is believed here that Ger
many precipitated the recent - troubla
in the hopes that the United Statet or
Great Britain would . be tired of the
triparte arrangement, and would ask
for a modification of the Berlin treaty.
The administration is determined,
however, that any suggestion for a
modification must come from either
Great Britan or Germany.
THREE VICTIMS Of THE COLD.
A Truckman, an Aged Man and m Boy
Are Dead.
New Yokk, Feb. 10. Three deaths
from cold are reported. John Fields,
17 years old, a truckman, was found
frozen to death on the seat of his truck
in Patterson, N. J. Fields was driv
ing on the river road and must have
slowly frozen.
Peter Matthews, 74 years old, who
lived in Valley Road, , West Grange,
N. J., was found nearly frozen in the
little hut he called his home. He was
removed to the Orange Memorial hos
pital, where he died.
William Doland, 19 years old, was
found freezing on the steps of his sis
ter's home in Patterson, N. J. He
was taken in and restoratives seemed
to revive him. An hoar later he was
found dead on the floor, having fallen
from his chair beside the stove.
Hitch in the Negotiations.
Chicago, Feb. 13. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: It is
stated here there is a serious hitch in
the work of the Anglo-America;-commission.
The obstacle is believed to
be a demand made by the Canadian
commiusion for the cession of the town
of Skag way, Alaska. The American
commissioners have definitely refused.
Skagway is the natural gateway to the
Klondike.
Unless va amicable adjustment can
be reached within a few days, there is
a possibility that negotiations for a
new treaty between the United States
and Canada may be broken off.

ortlar.d cyclists are all agog over
the prospect of the champions at pres
ent beginning their contest in San
Francisco, coming to Portland to give
that city an exhibition of tiding, as it
is. Overtures have been made to
local clubs and cycle enthusiasts, and
if present indications mature that city
will be favored by this galaxy of
champions, headed by the midget,
Jimmy Michael. The Intercollegiate
Association, of Cyclists, which at pres
ent adds considerably to the contests

its annual meeting, which takes
place on Feb. 25 in New York, the con
sideration of an alliance with the L.

will be a strong one. and will foster
good sport, as the constitution of the
collegians' association is practically
the same as that of the athletic, which
in itself assures pure amateurism.

VERY SLOWLY
The Legislature Has Done But
Little Work. . '
Salem, Feb. 12. Although five
weeks of -the legislative session are
gone and only one week remains, there
is twice as much work to be done as
has been done so far this session. The
total number of bills introduced in
both branches is 625, 245 in the senate
and 380 in the house. , Only a little
more than one-third of these have beBti
disposed of. During the session 47
bills have passed both houses and been
presented to the governor, and only
six of these are of general application
the remainder being of local nature,
such as city charters and county sal
ary bills. If the legislature considers
the remaining bills, there will have to
be some lively work during tho com
ing week.
The bills that have passed both
houses are as follows:.
To authorize the town of Antelope
to borrow $5,000 to build water works

THE FILIPINOS' 8TOBT.
They Accuse the Americans of Being the
Aggressors.
London, Feb. 12. Several dis
patches have been received here from
Filipino sources, dated from Manila
yia Hong Kong, and gives the rebel
version of the out break of hostilities.
A Filipino dispatch dated Manila,'
February 5, says:
'On Suuday a force of Americans
attacked simultaneously Caloean and
Santa Mesa. Two American warships
were off Malabon and. Malatej and a
smaller gunboat' was in the Pasig
river to protect the American flank.
For several days previously the Amer
icans had been endeavoring to pro
voke hostilities, and peace was main
tained only by the rigorous order of
Aguinaldo, who was negotiating with
General Otis for an honorable under
standing. The American attack was
unexpected. Tbe ships destroyed all
the villages between the shore and
the Pasig river, within an area be
tween Malate, Paranque, San Pedro
and Mocatl. Crossing tbe river, the
Americans advanced to San Juan del
Monte, capturing tbe water-works,
after a severe fight. They then pro
ceeded to Singalon, establishing them
selves on the river dam. They took a
mile of the rails from the Caloean
Malolos railway, and cut tbe telegraph
line in order to stop communication
with Aguinaldo. '
"The Filipino forces engaged num
bered only 7000, including 1000
Igorotes. Acting on irstructioos from
Maloios, the Filipinos- remained
strictly on the defensive, and finally
retired in good order without any loss
of arms, artillery or amunition. Two
old Kruups, mounted on the fortress
of San Antonio, were captured. Tbe
fighting was very stubborn and lasted
continuously from Saturday to Tues
day. "General Indignation has been oc
casioned by tbe treachery of the
American surprise. The Filipinos
believe that the Yankee administra
tion is only favored by a minority of
Americans and Abstain fiom taking
tbe offensive in order 'to show their
gratitude to tbe American nation for
helping them ic getting rid of Span
ish rule. Hence, tbey will only fight
when attached, and their future
action depends on the decision of the
United States. Aguinaldo declares
that the real enemies of peace are the
American officers in the Philippines
FIRE IN AN ASYLUM.
Sixteen Women Patients Perish In the
Flames.
Yankton, S. D., Feb. 13. A most
horrible fire occurred yesterday morn
ning at 2 o'clock at the state insane
asylum, when one of the cottages was
completely gutted and caused the loss
of tbe lives of 17 inmates.
The cottage had stone and granite
walls with wooden interiors, and in
tended for laundry purposes. Owing
to the crowded condition of the main
building, 40 of the female patients
were place here with the laundry in
the basement. Tbe fire originated in
the dryroom of the laundry. Here
there was a coil of steam pipes, and
the theory is that fine particles similar
to lint settled on the pipes and ignited
or that clothes which were thickly
hung close by dropped on to the pipes
and wore fired. I
Fifty-two persons were in the build'
ing, 40 patients an I2attendants. The
structure was threa stories and an
attio high, and Jhad two entrances,
There was one stairway from the sec
ond and third - floors, which led into
the main hall, thus giving but one
egress for those above the first floor.
Patients an attendants fled with ter
ror, great confusion resulting, especi
ally among those on the upper floors
Many heart rending scenes wore
enacted as the inmates clad only in
their night clothes and barefooted,
rushed down the narrow flight 'of
stairs, and finally out into tbe snow.
The temperature was 23 degrees below
zero, and further loss of life from
freezing was prevented alone by
prompt work of the attendants from
the main buildings.
. CUBAN ABMI TO BE PAID.
Gomez Js Leading Bis Soldiers to the
Capitol For that Purpose.
New York, Feb. 14. A dispatch to
tbe Tribune from Havana says: Gen
eral Gomez, it is now stated, will reach
Havana Wednesday or Thursday. His
reception in tbe country is discourag
ing,, his opponents, who antagonize
the acceptance of $3,000,000 from the
United States. '
The mode of payment is likely to
raise embarrassing questions. . Tbe
original purpose was to pay in Spanish
silver, which is the' common circula
ting medium, aud in anticipation of
this Havana bankers and speculators
are trying to , secure tne control oi
silver. The amount of silver in circu
lation on the island now is in the
neighborhood of (9,000,000 and to turn
83,000,000 of American money into
Spanish silver would take up half that
amount and would temporarily en
hance its value. When the Madrid
government was sending money to
Cuba to pay the troops, bankers and
speculators made large sums by ob
taining silver money and selling it to
the government. Silver then rose,
considerably, and the alleged reason
was that so much of it was being taken
to Spain as to cause' a scarcity in the
circulating medium. This was shown
to be untrue, for (9,000,000 remains in
circulation. ' It is hardly probable
that the American government will
permit a financial speculation to be
made out of its bounty, and tbe pay
ment to the insurgent troops may be
in American money. :
Want Honorable Peace. ' .
San Francisco, Febl 24. The Fili
pinos, General Riegode 0108 and M.
Rivera, who arrived last .week Irom
Manila intending to join their asso
ciates in Washington, have decided to
leave today for Montreal.
Rivera expresses himself as perfectly
astounded at the kind treatment he
has invariably received in this city.
The two envoys will endeavor to
persuade Agoncillo to return to Wash
ington and join his associates In
pleading for an honorable peace.'

STILL IN
WINTER'S GRASP
Terrible Suffering: on the
Atlantic Coast.
New York, Feb. 13. The fearful
storm which prevailed all day yester
day and last eight has increased in
Violence, and, together with the snow,
which has drifted In many places, has
almost paralyzed traffic. Trains on
all the steam railroads have been de
layed for five hours by tbe storm.
All shipping has been suspended for
the present, no ships venturing out to
sea during the severe wher.
Mary Goodwin, of Brooklyn, aged 31
years, was frozen to death on Sunday
An unidentified woman was found
frozen to death in a hallway on
Forty-seventh street, in this city, on
Sunday. She was thinly clad, and had
evidently sought shelter from the
storm.
Fears are entertained that Mail-
carriers Palmer and Hawkins, of the
New York office, have been drowned
Tbe two men left Hart's island for
City island on Thursday morning to
deliver the mails. They were in a
small boat, and tbe high wind that
was blowing and the Moating ice made
it impossible for then to control their
'craft. Six men in a larger boat, who
attempted to rescue them were unable
to do so, and it is feared the light boat
was carried off into the sound and
crushed and overturned.
Washington, Feb. 13. The phe-
nomonal weather of the past week
culminated in a buzzard-like snow
storm today, which broke all records.
The temperature record was smashed
last night when the thermometer went
to 15 deg. oelow zero, and a new snow
record was also established.
Philadelphia, Feb, 13. The storm
in this vicinity has assumed the pro
portions of a blizzard. A coal famine
is imminent in ports that depend on
Philadelphia for a supply of anthra
cite.
Anniston, Ala., Feb.. 13. The lo ;
est temperature was 15 below this

ed to tbe police early, and prompt
measures were taken today for relief.

ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 13. The South
is today enveloped in a storm of un
usual severity. From the Gulf north
ward, and from the Atlantic coast to
the western boundary of Texas, a cold
wave has settled heavily on the coun.
try, and produced the lowest temper
ature ever known.
RemarkableJBeseoe. . . .
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111.,
makes the statement that she canght
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for a month by her family
physician, but grew worse. ' He told
ber she was a hopeless victim of con
sumption and that no medicine could
cure ber. Her druggist suggested Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consump
tion: she bought a bottle and to her
delight found herself benefited from
first dose. She continued its use and
after taking six bottles, found herself
sound and 'well; now does her own
housework, and is as well as she ever
was. B ree trial ootties oi tnis ureas

PBOSPECTS UF THB NOKTBWF8T.
Wealth Will four in on the Country's
Merita.
Mrs. Henlngdinger.of St. Paul, who
handles fruit from all parts of tbe
United States said recently in speak
ing of the northwest:
Of all sections of the country I visit,
'think that the Northwest has the
brightest future. Here is good soil.
abundant moisture and an invigorat
ing climate. ' Tbe days are good to
work in and tbe nights are cool enough
for refreshing sleep. I have been in
Texas and other parts of the south
where the days were , too warm for
work, and the people arose in the
morning more tired than when tbey
went to bed. "
People who are tired of living in
extremely cold parts of the United
States are also going to come to the
Northwest, where tbey can avoid the
extremes.
In my late business visit to the
New England states I noticed that the
cotton manufacturers were moving
South, where they belong, and many
manufacturers are moving West. I
expect to see the wonder of a Western
made shoe invading the Boston mar
ket and that before very long. .
The great trade that is sure to
spring up with the Orient will cause
many manufacturers to come to the
Pacific Northwest, for such a move
will save freights across the continent.
Many manufactories will come and
they will represent millions of dollars.
The. entire Pacific Northwest will
have a development undreamed of at
present. "
Fruit raisehere is so much better
than that raised in the East that if it is
properly evaporated it will find a mar
ket anywhere. The Oregon apple has
such solidity and other good features
that it is a ready seller anywhere if
properly graded as No. 1 and No. 2.
But mixing the grades counts against
it. . The fruit is here and the grain is
here, and the timber and minerals are
here, and tbey are all going to bring a
wave of wealth."
