Chicago, Sept. 1. A special to the Times-Herald from Washington says General Fitznueh Lee bas made an elaborate report on prevailing coodi V lions in the territory in Cnba under 'bis jurisdiction, and takes strong ground for an independent Cuban gov ernment under an American protec ( torate. The war department in March : directed the commanders" of the de partments in Cuba to make a ' report on the conditions of their several sections, and to accompany it with recommendations as to the treatment of the natives. General Lee is the only commander who bas so far re' sponded. General Lee begins his report stat ing conditions in Havana and Pinar del Bio provinces are making rapid progress toward a state of peace, good order and prosperity. He goes into this in great detail, taking: up the subject town by town, and showing a general improvement throughout the western end of the island. His report in this retpect is very gratifying, in dicating as it does that there is not so much suffering: from want of food as is often reported in unofficial reports. ' Turning: to recommendations, Gen eral Lee urges the taking of self-go v ernment. General Lee thinks that the next steps should be the careful consideration of the question of suf frages for the Cubans. He takes it for granted that there will be elections by the natives, and he points out the im porta oce of wise action in determining the qualifications of voters. Be recommends an independent re publican government, with a president, vice-president and a congress. He would have this established soon, and advises the holding of a general elec tion for the selection of those officers. He says nothing about a constitution, leaving it to be inferred that he either overlooked that step or would have it left to the Cuban congress to provide after its installation in office. General Lee evidently foresees that while the United States might provide Cuba with a model system of govern ment, the natives would be-likely to spoil it in the administration and he has submitted suggestions for keeping the government machinery running along lines that commend themselves to '.ho American mind. Even after relieving the Cubans in part of American protection he 'would nave United States troops maintained in the island to protect American and other aliens in the enjoyment of their personal and property rights. NEW HAKVKT81NG METHODS. Better Time Now Maae In Omltllla County Than Brer Before. Pendleton, Or. Sept. 1. By the introduction of the big now pattern of threshers the work of separating grain from the straw has undergone a change in this country. A few years ago a good day's work ot threshing was 1500 ' to 1800 bushels. Now there are thresh ing machines at work that turn out r from 1500 to to 2000 sacks, according to the condition of the straw. When the straw is a trifle tough, the day's work is only about 1500 sacks, or more than 3000 bushels. When the straw is in prime condi Jon, dry, the big machines threash 2000 sacks every day they are in operation. Two thousand sacks will make on the average about 4350 bushels, as the sacks overrun two bushels considerably. The combine harvesters, which cut, thresh and sacks the grain as the ma chine moves along the field, get away with 80 acres in a day, which is equal on an average of 25 bushels to the acre, to 2000 bushels. The big stationary threshers, separating ZOUU sacks In a day, are disposing of one quarter of section of land. JIMMINES FOB PRESIDENT. This Will be the Outcome of the Domini, can Be volution. New York, Sept. 1. A dispatch to the Herald from Santo Domingo says There is little doubt that Jimmines will succeed to the presidency as soon as he arrives. The peace and tran quility which pervade the city are in marked contrast with the conditions that existed a few days ago and show how popular the revolution is with the masses. Apparently the entire h land is satisfied that the change in govern ment promises improved conditions. The newspapers all urge moderation on the part of the revolutionists and advise all citizens to refrain from dis' turbance. Figuereo was permitted to reach home unmolested, and the revolution ists everywhere are behaving with the utmost moderation, even going so far as to pay for the property -aken and supplies used. It is believed that all fighting is over ana that with the ar rival of the leaders of the revolution on Sunday to take charge or the gov ernment all cause fur alarm will have been removed. Yesterday was the climax to the government. Ine government was powerless to retard the progress of the revolution. Word had come that all the principal towns in the interior on the north side had gone over. Added to this bad come news that anotner hurricane was forming and that the United States cruiser New Orleans would have to put to sea and that the foreign residents would be left to the mercy of the revolutionists. Business was practically at a stand still and chaos reigned. People dared not stir from their homes at night. In this dilemma came Figuereo's an nouncement that he would resign in order to prevent bloodshed and at once the situation changed. Transvaal Excited. Capetown, Sept. 1. Reports re lieved here from various outlying dis- tricts of the Transvaal describe them as being in a state of excitement. The burgbei s, it is said, are watching the developments keenly, but the majority of them hope for a peaceful settlemen of the crisis. There is a general exodus of British subjects from the large towns. Orders have been issued to commanders and field coronets to have themselves and the burghers in readiness in the even of an outbreak. Gave China an Ultimatum. London. Sept. 1. A dispatch from Shanghai reports that trouble occurred in Kiao Chou Hinterland, between the Germans and Chinese in which six of the latter were shot. The German minister to China bas handed an ulti matum to the Chinese government de daring that unless there is security of life and property -and order is main tained in Hinterland. Germany will take steps to protect her own interests Goodrich Takes the Iowa. San Francisco, Sept. 1. Captian C. F. Goodrich, of the cruiser Newark, has been detached from that command, and today will assume command of the battleship Iowa, releiving Captian Terry, who is ordered home on waiting orders. At the time the command of the Newark will devolve upon Captian B. H. McCalla. It is expected that Captian Terry will soon be promoted to the rank of rear-admiral. Sampson to be Kelleved. Washington, Sept. 1. At the con elusion of the Dewey celebration, it is announced, Admiral Sampson will be relieved of command of the North Atlantic squadron. This action is taken at the request of Sampson, who has already bad much more than his portion of sea service in his grade. Admirals Farquuar and Remey are prominently mentioned as Sampson's successors. Burglary at Cornelius. Cornelius, Or., Sept. 1. Burglars broke into the saloon of G. A. Brinn last night and stole some goods. The cash register was broken open, but the burglars got no money, for it was empty.

' ; 2 Gail Borden Eagle Brand SHEEP TO BE BARRED OUT Probably All the Reserve Will Be Closed. Washingson, Sept. 3. Tho secre tary of the interior has canceled the 68 permits that have beemgranted sheep men to graze within the Rainier forest reservation, Washington, and here after all sheep will be excluded from the reservation. The 68 permits reDreaent 260.000 sheep now on the reservation. In making his exclusion order, the secretary said: "The grant ing of such permits was not in con formity, but rather intereferei with the objects, for which reservations are created." For this reason he declined to sanction such permits. It was mainly through the instrumentality of Commissioner Hermann that these permits were granted in the first place, they coming from the general land office. Hermann has been of the opinion that sheep-grazing in the open areas of forest reservations was not niurious to the forests, but special agents of the interior department have made extensive investigations and reported to the contrary. Secretary Wilson, of the agricultural department, strenuously opposed sheep grazing on reservations, ana in toe face of such opposition the sheep will have to go. This decision of Secretary Hitchcock is but a precedent, aud it will ba only a matter of time before Bheep are excluded from all the forest reserves of the country including' the great Cascade reserve in Oregon. The secretary is convinced that sheep kill the young growth of trees, shrubs and grass, and therefore will exclude them. RIOT IS SANTO DOOUAOO, Members of Retiring Cabinet Planning Another Revolution. New York, Sept. 3. A dispatch to the Herald from Santo Domingo says: Members of the retiring cabinet of ex- President Figuero haye been detected stowing a lot of arms and ammunition on board schooners which they intend ed sending to Azua. This discovery caneed great excitment in the city and led to serious demonstration. Large crowds quickly formed in the streets, majority being young, hot-headed men who marched up and down the thoroughfares in disorderly mobs, houthing t'Viva Jimenes," and "Viva revolution" at the top of their voices. A great throng finally gathered around the governor's palace, angrily demanding that the ministers should relinquish airtheir powers: "The mob then broke into the palace and destroy ed a painting of the late President Heureaux, hanging in one of the rooms. From the palace the mob marched to the residences of several members of the cabinet and began burling stones through the windows, after smashing the shutters. The governor appeared powerless and made no effort to curb the disorder. These riotous demonstrations con tinued until midnight when the frigh tened and helpless ministers announced that they would turn over their power to men to be selected by the citizens. Four citizens were promptly chosen by the mob to act as a committe of safety, and it was agreed that this committee should act in concert with governor Mejio until the members of the pro visional government arrive and take control of affaira. Then the mob dispersed after tiring maay shots but without injuring any person. Jimenes cabled that his emissaries would soon arrive here and that he would follow them. Jimenes is popular n this city, but the mass are fickle and will desert him on the slightest pro vocation. The popular idol just now is Caceres, who has assumed the office of minister of war. QUARREL AT A DANCE. Guy Parker Severely Stabbed by Press Montgomery. AN ATONE, Wash., Sept. 3. At a dance Friday evening, held to celebrate the completion of the Inland Tele phone Company's line to this place from Asotin, a disturbance occurred between Guy Parker, of Asotin, and Press Montgomery, of Wallowa, Or. Parker received several bad wounds the fleshy part of the left leg near the groin, and one stab in the back of the neck. He.was unconscious for a while. He was carried into the hotel and word was sent to Dr. J. B. Morris son, of Lewiston, wno arrived a few hours later and dressed the wounds. While one of the wounds is very bad, the doctor intimated that, with per fect quiet and proper nursing the chances were favorrble for the patient pulling through all right.. Sheriff VVormell went to the scene of .the trouble, but Montgomery had skirped out. Tralnrobber Richardson Escapes. - Salem, Sept. 3. George E. Richard son, the trainwrecker, escaped from the penitentiary last night. Richardson, who bad been a trusty for about five months, deliberately walked away from the institution.

Kow Between Strikers and Repair Gangs Resulting in One Death. WILKESRARRE, fa. Sept. 3. As a result of a fight between strikers at a colliery in West Pittston and a repair gang, John Pollock was . shot and killed, William Thayer seriously in jured and about eight men hurt. About 500 men are involved in the strike. which has been in operation nearly six weeks. A large number of deputy constables are guarding the mine The strikers are worked up to a high pitch of excitement and threaten ven geance. All of them are armed, and it would not take much provocation to start a general riot. Sheriff Harvey will take precautions to preaerye the Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar.

The officials ot the company say it was absolutely necessary to send men into the mine, as the heavy fall of top rock threatens to do great dam age, and had not repairs been made at once, the loss would nave run into thousands of dollars. It is said the strikers warned the few "company hands" who had remained loyal to their employes that the first one who entered the mine to work would be a marked man. Insurgents Attack Angeles. Manila, Sept. 3, The insurgents made an unsuccessful attempt early yesterday morning to drive Colonel Smith, s command out of Angeles with artillerj, the tirst time they have at. tempted to use this arm for months. They brought two Krupp guns from Poracand fired eight shrapnels at the town at dawn. Only a few of the shells exploded, and, the aim of the gunners being bad, no damage wa9 done. Lieu tenant Kenley's guns of the First ar tillery were brought into action im mediately and soon drove the enemy from their position. At 4:30 o'clock this morning a small party of rebels fired into Guada, which is held by two companies of the Ninth regiment, supported by the gunboat Lagune de Bay. One native resident was wounded. The enemy was driven off by infantry fire and the guns of the gunboat. Working Night and Day. The busiest and mightiest little thing that ever was made is Dr. King's New Life Pills.

Argogula, the the most impregnable stronghold of the bands which have been destroying plantations and levying tribute on the people of Nfgros, was taken Thursday by the Sixth infantry, under Lieuten ant-Colonel Byrne. .The .only means of reaching the town was up a perpen dicular hill, covered with dense shrubbery and 1000 feet high. The Americans accomplished this under fire, although an officer and several men were hit and rocks were rolled down upon them. The native strength was estimated at 400. Many of the rebels were wounded and captured and 21 were killed. The American forces captured a quantity of stores and destroyed the fortifications. Red Hot From the tiun Was the ball that hit G. B.

THE OUTLOOK IS OMINOUS. Kruger Withdraws His Coneessions to Great Britlan. London, Sept. 4. A dispatch from Johannesburg definitely announces the reply of the Transvaal republic to the British communication. It withdraws the franchise proposal and agrees to a conference at Cape Town. The reply of the Transvaal republic to the command of Great Britian in creases the term of years residence necessary to obtain the franchise. The afternoon papers take the view that if the forgoing dispatch is correct Kruger's reply is ominous, as it was palpably made to gain time. Sir Alfred Milcer's suggestion of a further conference with Cape Town was insti gated with the sole purpose of consider ing the details and government con cessions offered by the Boers. If the concessions are withdrawn there can be no object from a British point of view for parleing any longer. The inference to be drawn is that the Boers have taken Chamberlain in a broader sense than he intended and they now want to begin negotiations over again on a new basis. Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this countrv.

A special to the Herald from Washington says: There is good authority for the state ment that the president has returned to Washington with these genera! ideas uppermost in his mind as to his future course in relation to the new dependencies. The Philippines Civil government by three commissioners to supplement military rule immediately after the rebellion is crushed. Cuba Continued military control until it is determined by means of a general election whether the inhabi tants want independence or annexa tion. If independence, the new gov ernment elected will be recognized by the United States and will be giyen encouragement and every opportunity to establish its stability. If annexa tion, the president will be governed by the sentiment of American citizens as it may then exist. Porto Rico Civil government of the territorial form, similiar to that which prevails in Arizona. Hawaii Territorial form of eover- ment as recommended by the Hawaiian commission and as provided for in a measure now pending in congress. Some weeks will elapse before the president settles down to the actual preparation of his message, but he has . returned, from his vacation with some well defined yiews as to the difficult problems which confront him and will immedi ately commence discussions of the de tails with the members of his cabinet. It has been generally supposed that with the war still in progress in the Philippines the president would avoid committing himself to recommenda tions of the future government of the islands, but such will not probably be the case. His Pittsburg speech leaves no room for doubt that he will insist upon American control of the Philip pines. To this extent he has come out squarely and thrown down the gaunt let to the anti-expansionists. Mr. McKinley not only fayors the permanent control but is prepared with all the forces at command to fight for it, but to avoid the charge of militarism, and that in his reason for making the . recommendations, he purposes outlining a plan to congress for submitting a civil form of govern ment for the military the moment peace 4s oo tained and the complete supremacy 'ol the United States estab lished. HOLD-UP IN SPOKANE. Gambling House Balded and Considerable Money Stolen. Spokane, Sept. 4. The first gamb ling house hold-up in Spokane since the exciting cleaning out of the Le Roi a year ago, happened at 3:45 o'clock Su fnl ay morning in Harry Green's gambling hall. Two masked men with four heavy caliber guns robbed the place of about $1700 in gold, silver and bills. They escaped unmolested through rear hallways and by the back entrance. During the pursuit Policeman Gem- mriz was mortally wounded. An ex convict named Frank Fair, age 23 years, has been arrested on suspicion. Harry Green is hugging himself be cause hold-up men neglected to take from the safe, which they looted, a tin document box containing $3,500 in $20 gold pieces, jewelry to the value of $1,000, $350 in paper money, $500 in checks and $1,000 in certificates of de posit, a total wealth of $6,550. The robber who went through the safe tucked this box under his arm, hesitat ed and set it down on the floor evidently not caring to be encumbered by its weight and size. Thousands of Veterans. Philadelphia, Sept. 4. With the arrival today of Acting Commander-in-chief Johnston, the thirty-third na tional encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was formally inaugu rated. Colonel Johnston was accom panied by the post of Cincinnati and several bands of music. Every in coming train Is bringing its quota of veterans and visitors and the streets are thronged. Camp James A. Sexton in Fair- mount Park, was formally opened at 6 a. m. today with the firing of the national salute and unfurling of the Stars and Stripes over the headquart ers of Colonel MacGinnis, who is in charge of the camp. Dewey at Glbralter. Gibraltar, Sept. 4. The Uuited States cruiser Olympia, with Admiral Dewey on board, arrived this morning. The usual salutes were exchanged be tween the Olympia and the garrison. Dewey is slightly indisposed at present and intends to live ashore. During his stay here this afternoon Dewey went ashore and paid a visit to General Sir Robert Biddulph, governor and commander-in-chief of the garri son. The Olympia is expected to sail September 11th direct (or New York, The crew are all well. Kruger Is Weakening. Pretoria, Sept. 4. The reply of the Transvaal government to the imperial government's last dispatch bas been received by Conyngham Green, the British agent here. It is understood that the government is willing to meet the other side in a conference at Cape Town, as suggested, and to explain the working of the new franchise law, The Transvaal government is also willing to receive the friendly suggest ion of the imperial government. A more hopeful feeling prevails here. General Strike of Seamen. London, Sept. 4. A general strike of seamen and steamer firemen was declared today, the shipowners refus' ing to accept the seamen's and fire men's union for conference. At South ' Shields 2,000 men have gone out. It is not likely the strike will be completely organized for several days. The manifesto of the union men ordering the strike including all ports in the United Kindom. The basis of their demands is a few shillings more per month. One American Killed. Manila, Sept. 24. Five men of Colonel Bell's regiment yesterday en countered a rebel outpost near Porac, and, in the fighting which ensued, one American was killed and another wounded.
