THE FALL OF CANEY.
Frank Morris, Correspondent, Gives His Ob
servations of the Fight.
8an Francisco Chronicle.
Frank Norrls, who was one of the active par
ticipants in the campaign before Santiago as the
correspondent of McClure's Magazine, arrived
in San Francisco from the East Ang. 22d, and is
a guest at the Pleasantou. Norrls has come to
California to recover from the trying ordeal to
which nearly all of the war correspondents w ho
went to Cuba were subjected. He had a touch
of the fever, which played such havoc with the
troops of General Shatter's command after the
capitulation of Santiago, and this, together with
the want of proper and sufficient food, forced
marches with the troops, and other hardships,
has foroed him to take a respite from his liter
ary labors for a few weeks.
In the assignments of the war correspondents
to the various regiments, Norris was lucky
enough to be attached to the First infantry,
which was stationed at the Presidio prior to
the breaking out of hostilities. The transport
Signrauoa, which carried the First infantry,
was the flagship of the fleet and carried General
Shatter and his staff. He witnessed the battle
of Caney, and has many interesting incidents to
tell of the now famous engagement that have
not as yet crept into print.
"Caney and San Juan, as everybody knows,
were fought on the same day," said Norris,
when seen last evening. "The Idea was that
the main attack was to be on San Juan, and the
State News.
Steve Farris, a laboring man about 40 years of
age, dropped dead in the harvest field, near
Adams, Umatilla county, one day laBt week.
He was loading header wagons and was sitting
in the spout at the time he fell dead. Deceased
was pretty well known in Elgin and vicinity,
having made his home there a considerable
portion of the time for the post seven years.
In answer to a Telegram reporter, State Sena
tor Joseph Simon, the republican boss said : "I
don't know if Governor Lord is going to call an
extra session or not. But it would be a good
thing. There is plenty of immediate legislation
needed. The legislature could not only elect
a United States senator but transact other
business as well. Think It a wise move? I do."
The Baker City Republican says: The road
leading from Austin to Susanville is to be im
proved. The Grant county commissioner's
court has appropriated $300 for this purpose
and a delegation of business men in this city
have a like sum for the purpose. Sloan & Haskell
are to have charge of the work, and when it Is
completed the benefits to Baker City are
obvious.
While a threshing orew was getting ready for
work last week on the farm of J. F. Kirk 15
miles west of Eugene, Lane county, the boiler
exploded killing Ellroy Kirk and scalding John
Lemley, Honry McBee, Tony Bryant, James
Bryant and Joseph Gibson. It was an old
boiler full of water and the steam guage was
operations against Caney were simply intended out of orier. The guage registered eight pounds

Associated Press Dispatches.
New York, Aug. 29. A dispatch to the World from Manila says:
President McKinley wants Admiral Dewey to go to Paris to advise the
American members of the peace commission, but the admiral believes
he can be of more service to his country by remaining at his post here.
He will forward by mail to Washington or to Paris a full report on
the conditions here, with some recommendations, but he will not at
tend the peaoe commission sitting personally unless he is specifically
ordered by his government to do so. If peace should not be definitely
agreed to, the admiral desires to be here for prompt future operations.
General Merntt, however, will go to Paris at the president's sug-
gestion, leaving here on the transport China, whioh is about to return
to San Francisco. Manila and its suburbs are quiet, and the general
believes he can absent himself without jeopardizing American inter
ests. In his absence General Otis will act as militarv Governor.
Aguinaldo will Bend representatives to Paris to plead the cause of
the Philippine islanders. A convention of Filipinos is now in session
at Cavite concerning whether they shall co-operate in that project or
not Attending it are some influential islanders who fought with the
Spaniards againt Aguinaldo, but now have buried the hatchet and
hope to see a native government established. The others include
active insurgent leaders, representative native civilians and half-
bloods.
This convention will probably send a deleghtioo to Paris, but
Aguinaldo is resolved to be represented before the peace commission,
anyhow. If the native gathering votes the proposition down ha will
send personal agents to submit officially the views and aspirations of
the leaders of the insurgent.
Thu native embassy, whether commisHioned by the islander at
Urge, or by the insurgent chief, doubtless will urge that the peace
trpaly provide for a native ropifblic under an American protectorate.
It certainly will protect ntronamily against a restoration of Spanish
control. It will hhIc that the archipnlago be given to the United States
a a possession rathir than be subjected agiin to the blight of Span
uh rule.
Aguinaldo says that personally he is favorable to the Americans
but his army ia fighting for complete independence. There Is little
faith, however, in specious promises.

to distract the attention of the enemy. The
Spaniards stood up to us so courageously, how
ever, and the fighting all day In the trenches
was so spirited that the engagement of Caney
became as distinct and important a battle as San
Juan. I want to say that, in the opinion of the
best military experts who accompanied the
American forces, either as correspondents or
military attaches, the fighting and bravery of
our troops wore marvelous. I have it on the
word of Captain Lee, the British military at
tachoe, that the taking of an intrenched posi
tion without the aid of artilley, as in the case of
San Juan, is without precedent in the history of
military engagements. The troops gonerally
fought valiantly and endured all sorts of bard-
ships without wincing.
"There hes been a controversy over the action
of the Seventy-flrst New York regiment iu the
assault on Ban Juan. The New York World
charged the entire regiment with cowardice,
and nearly every other; paper tu the country
came to the rescue of the regiment by disputing
the World's accusation. Now I happen to know
something of this matter. The troops did not
run, at has been alleged. They were in a tight
place, and were unmercifully hammered with
shrapnel. They were marched into a hollow
below the hill and halted, when they should
have been marched oil further to a more pro
tected position. Had they been marched under
the crest of the hill, the hill would have acted
as a breastwork. As it was the troops were ex
posed to the fire of the intrenched Spanish.
The Spanish sharpshooters wore picking oil
their officers, and tha troops became panic
stricken, to the extent that General Kent actu-
lly formed a Uue across the road to prevent
them from retreating. The troops scattered
badly. , There was a lack of discipline. There
was a want of oonfldonce In the officers. It was
tight, nasty place. Captain K, A. Selfrldge,
who halls from California, and Major Koech.
wore two of the very few ollivers who kept their
heads. They got about a battalion together and
got them forward under a heavy Are, and man
aged to get an the hill, if not at th minute, at
least a few moments after the hill was taken.
"No one will ever know whatruglmeut took
the hill. In fact It was takatl against orders.
Au orderly had ridden up and presented a
written order to the commanding ottlcer to
withdraw his troops, and lit tho act of deliver
ing the order the orderly was killed by a Span
ish bullet. The commanding otrlcer disregarded
the order and allowed his troops to proceed,
with the result that every one knows.
't'aney was takun In much the same way. At
4 o'clock In the afternoon, alter the battle hail

The East Oregonlan says: Our wool corres
pondent writes from The Dalles as follows:
"The wool market is at a dead standstill.
Hardly any ;wool bought the past six days; in
fact, only one clip that I know of Jim Small's
of Dayville, bought by Silberman Bros, of
Chicago, for 15 cents, the highest price paid yet.
This is not a criterion, as the wool was of very
fine quality, most desirable in every way,"
The third shipment of horses for the Linton
oannery arrived from Huntington Monday
morning. There were In all 800 packed in ten
cars. On the way down five died, and three
were in such bad condition that Humane
Officer Caswell shot them. The cars wore not
overorowded, or even crowded, and the death
of the Ave is attributed by tho stockyard em
ployes to overheating, resulting from rearing
and plunging. The horses wero mostly year
lings and 2-year-olds, and were fresh from the
ranges.
The Chronicle says that negotiations have
been concluded which insure for La Grande
the largest and flnost department store in
Eastern Oregon, or in fact in the state outsldo
of Portland. The new building will be canter
ally located and a deal is on whereby one of
two lots, each on a prominent street, will be
used for this purpose. It hat been ascertained
that the plans and specifications for the new
building are now being made by a local archi
tect and dual arrangements will bo made next
week, when work will at once begin.
The suprome court yesterday handod down a
decision in the Bakor county scrip case. The
warrants amounting to about fXQ Issued to C .
H. Whitney for exporting the county books,
were restired. The supremo court sustained
the plaintiff's theory as to the warrants in tha
what it known aa the Btullurcase, These war
rants are now held by the Municipal Security
company, of Portland, Maine, and were Issued
for the purchase of the poor farm, Insurance on
the court house, shelving In the vaults and In
dexing, all of which amount to about 14,100
and are held as Illegal,
The stories so common about persons shoot
ing Mongolian pheasants all over thu Willam
ette valley are not all Imaginary, as it shown
by the fact that John T. McNamara. a young
man of about 111, was arrested near lllllslioru
for shooting phitasaut out of season, and on
examination before Justice W. D. Smith was
fined lioo and costs. He plcadud guilty to kill
ing the pheasants as charged, but when am h a
heavy fine was Imposed he went to Jail, not
having sufficient funds to pay. If such prompt
action as this were taken tu other places, In
stead of writing tetters of complaint to Uama
ProtocUir Magulre, there would not be so much
shooting out of season.
The status of the 1.5.000 waiiaut Issued In
payment for a branch asylum site lu Eastern
Oregon, yet to ba determined by tha state
treasurer, Is a subject of Interest to lawyers in

and made an order authorizing the paymuut of

that he will not lie warrautrd Inuklng up the
