Ou This Question There t-eeuis tu Be a
Difference of Opinion
: Friday last the Gbioogo Tribune wired
a direot qaeation to Governor Oeer. It
askd him if the people of Oregon de
manded the return of tho volunteers on
the same grounds that the governors of
South Dakota and Nebraska did. The
substance of these demnoils was that the
term of enlistment of the volunteers ex
pired when the peaoe treaty witb Spain
was oonoluded, that lu view of tbe addi
tional faot. that present war in tbe
Philippines was in opposition to liberty
and in the interest of capitalism.
The governor in reply, after stating
that it was the general wish of the peo
ple of Oregon that volunteers be re
turned, but not for the reasons named,
be says:
'There is some juatioe in asking for
the retnrn of tbe volunteers, now tbat
tbe war with Spain, tor wbieb tbey en
listed, has been honorably concluded ,
and that the spasmodic difficulty yet
lingering in tbe Philippines should be
suppressed by tbe regular army of the
United State, which is a nply equipped
for the purpose. It .s believed, however,
tbat this wish is oonfiued to those of us
wbo i re at home, as tbe Oregon boys at
tbe front Quite generally express a de
sire to remain there uutil the difficulty
is settled.
"Our people take no stock in tbe deo
laration tbat the oonOict in the Philip
pines in 'waged in oppositiou to liberty
and in tbe interest of capitalism.' The
very men wbo make this charge now are
tbe ones wbo, little more tbau a year
ago, weie loudly aoousiog President Mo
Kinley of 'cowardice and of delay iug
tbe war with Spain in tbe 'interest of
capitalism,' as represented by Spanish
bondholders.
"Tbe seizing of tbe Philippines was au
incident of tbe w.ir wholly uoforseeo by
anybody, applauded by every patrioiio
oitizen at tbe time, and they o mid not
now be relinquished without a taiut on
our national honor an 1 a confession of
national weakness. '
"Tbe obarge tuat tbe American flag is
waving over a cootllot iu the Philippines
'in opposition to libertaaud iu the iu
tereet of capitalism' savors very much of
a spirit of demogagy to which tho peo
pie of Oregon are habitual strangers,
an! wbiob finds no lodgment in tbeir
minds at this time. - T. T. Geeb,
. .Governor."
Tbe question Is still being considered
at Washington, aa to whether tbe new
army bill makes it necessary to muster
the volunteers out auJ form a uew vol
unteer army, or not. By tbe teims of
enlistmsnt the volunteers oao be kept
there two yeara from date of eulistmeul,
but, good legal authority thinks tbe new
bill makes it neoessary tu reconcile the
volunteer army.
There Is a difference of opinion in
Portland as to what tbe Oreg u volun
teers would do, if mustered out and giv
en tbe ohoice of re-enlisting or returning
home.
"I don't believe one iu ten would re
turn," said a military man this morning.
"For a long time tbey staid there, wait
ing for a fight, and now tbat it la on, I
think tbey want to see it out.
"None of them wonld objeot to being
mustered out and then re enlisting, if
this would entitle them to two uviuths'
extra pay, and mileage f rm Ui.n Fmnoisoo
to Portland. This, of course, tbey could
save. Tbey would tiot, however, been
titled to mileage from Manila to San
Frauoisco, bat simply to transportation
and subsisteuoe."
Captain Qadaby, who was with the
Oregon volunteers at Manila for some j
time, takes adifferent vie of the matter.
"The boys would gladly come home,"
said be. "I am confideot tbat witb but
few exceptions, tbe men would return
borne if given a chance. -
"Most of tbe officers would like to re
main, but the boys have beeu sick of it
for long time.
"Tbey realize tbat the government is
now in need of their eervioes aod tbey
are makiag no oomplaiot. They will
stay there and fight until there are none
of tbent left if they are needed. Let
tbem know tbat tbere are others to take
tbeir places, and you would see tbe en
tire regiment coming home.
"These boys oan't aff ird to chase Fili
pinos through tbe jungles for 815 a
montb, as a business. Tbey didn't en
list for that purpoie. It was patriotism
tbat caused tbem to enlist, and wben
tbe war witb Hpain was over tbey were
morally entitled to come borne.
"Tbe present trouble in the Philip
pines Is a part of the mohinery work of
tbe government, and should be done by
men hired for the purpose.
" Wbr not send some regiments of col
ored soldiers over there? They could
stand tbat climate better than our boys,
and tbey have deuioastrated the fact
tbat tbey can and will fight. Tbey
would do exoellent work iu the Philip
pines, chasing those balf-ssv iges tbronicb
tbe jungles, aod should bs given a
cbaooe at once."

L&WTON IN MvNILA.
hxprdltlou Returns From Its Sortie Into
the Country.
Manila, April 17, 10:50 a. m. Major
General Lawton'a expedition to tbe La-
gnuade Bay district re-embarked last
evening, auohored for the night at tbe
head of the river Pasw and reaobed Ma
nila this morning, bringing all the men
and the cap u red insurgent' boats. Its
objeot, namely tbe oapture of tbe insur
gents" boats and tbe1 distribution of tbe
proclamation, emphasised by it lesson of
American power throughout the lake re
gion, have been attained. General Law-
ton immediately began preparations for
an important expedition on land. Tbere
has been no fighting on tbe lake for
tbree days.
Lswton returned to Mtnila nocording
to orders from O is. Lawton declares
that Ameriot needs 100,000 men to
paoify tbe Philippines. He says that
witb tbe present force he ould go
through all Luzon, but to maintain gov
ernment tbe United States must garrison
all tbe towns. It has not tbe men, there
fore the need of a large army.
All the towns in tbe La Guna de bay
distriot captured must be abandoned,
much to Lawton'a regret. Tbey include
Peate, Santa Oruze, Longos, Luraban,
Fagaeajan. A second campaign is to
be made in ' this oountry 'in the rainy
season, when boa's of greater draught
oan operate in the lake owing to higher
water, thus giving the boats a ohance to
help the army. Lawtou'a troops will be
used in the operations northward, and
may be sent around bv boai to tbe north
of Aguinaldo to out him ' off and f rce
him between two lines Witb Lawton
one side and MaoArthur at Oalumpit on
the other.
TKAP FOR AGUINALDO.

By the Associated Press,
Manila, April 15. The American plan
to trap Aguinaldo by sendiug troops via
the sea route to the north of him. Then
he will be between two lines of Ameri-
oaps, and it may result in bis oapture.
General Otis deolares be has ornshed
the rebel army and Aninaldo's so called
government. He ndds tbat the Ameri
cans are not going to stop on aooount of
rsiny weather, but will make an ' active
campaign, outting the rebel foroes
in two at Manila hb? trapping Aguioaldo
to tlie north. He thinks the obfef prob
lem is now to exterminate the brigands
aod bandits bo iufest the islaud in im
mense bands of great strength and dar
iug. The ooudition of the Spanish prisoners
is terrible. They are weak, emaoiated,
starved, beateu ornelly and ordered
about by prods of bayonets. United ef
fort has been made by merchants of all
nationalities to have the Qpaniards let
free by Aguinaldo. However, Otis
thinks it will be some time before Luzon
is pacified.

Tbe l, Grande Ohrociole of last Fri

account of tbe onnning ways of tbe
coyote: "A few days ago, as Mr.Olioe,
wbo lives at Starkey, was out in tbe
bills looking for stock, be noticed upon
the opposite bill side, a coyote in pur
suit of some animal be judged to be a
fox. Having some curiosity to know
bow tbe race would terminate be
waiobed it. Tbe ooyote was running
the fox in a partial circle and as be was
wetcbiog tbem, much to bis surprise, be
notioed the coyote stop and another
coyote which be bad not before notioed
took op tbe raoe, and upon looking
closer, Mr. Cline saw tbere were four
ooyotes tbat were after tbe fox, but bad
taken up tbeir stations in different lo
calities, and aa soon as one ooyote ap
peared a little fagged, be would be re
lieved by a fresh one. Ho tbe raoe
terminated Mr. Clioe did not know, as
before the fox bad been overtaken, be
bad managed to work bis way over tbe
brow of tbe bill and disappeared from
view witb the ooyotes still after bim.

WHEAT BADLY DAMAGED.
Every Day Brings ia Further Reports of
Severe Damages. -Tbe
following extract from the Chi
cago Evening Post, of April 14th, ought
to make tbe wheat raisers of this section
feel easy es to what tbe prioe of
wheat will be this fall, and shows that
there may be not more tbao half a crop
in more seotions than oue:
; "With every passing day the advioes
of blight and damage to tbe growing
winter-wheat fields intensify tbe belief
tbat one of tbe smallest crops in many
years will be harvested this year. Aside
from large Argentine shipments reported
there was not another solitary item o'
news from offioial nr private sources to
dw to break tbe spell of bullish crop
news. 'Although the market remained
steady after tbe advance of 2 oents yes
terday, the predictions are current that
wheat will be up to 80 oents and over
next week. Private-wire dispatches all
tell the same Btory oi killed wheat.
Samples of wheat from this state, Indi
ana. ' Ohio and Kansas, sent here, re
vealed no sign of life or vigor.
"While in former years the ory of
"orop damage" has almost invariably
been c factor in speculation at this sea
son of tbe year, tbe statements from tbe
surplus wheat ' growing states have
shown before suob damage senlionent
and pessimism. The sentiment on
'Change here ia exceedingly bullish aod
traders who are classed as conservative
say tbere is a parrallel between the pres
ent situation aod tbat of four years ago,
wben wheat prioes went up 25 oents in
response to orop damage Tbere is said
to be more reason tor high prioes be-'
cause tbe proportion of damage this year
promises to be much greater than four
years ago, while tbe visible supply is
now only 80,000,003 ' bushels, while it
was 75,000,000 bushels wben prioes start
ed up a quarter of a dollar in 1895.
"Many of tbe traders and commission
men, as well as tbe big receivers of
wheat, state tbat there will be less than
50 per oent of the otop harvested this
year, notwithstanding tbe ' increased
acreage. Both abroad and at borne,
Russia bearing tbe ory of "famine" at its
doors and tbe deadly attaok of severe
oold weather npoi tbe bare wheat fields
in this country tbere is every' evidenoe
of a strained situation. Tbe estimates
of the winter wheat orop yield this year
plaoe it between 250,000,000 and 300,000.
000 bosbole, ale against a yield of 370,
000,000 last year. But tbere is at pres
ent no sign of a trues in the steady ti od
of "crop damage'' reports. Whereas, the
mild weather counteracted tbe indica
tions of damage in past years this season
tbe reverse is true and every day ooly
adds to the weight of bull sentiment."
From tbe same souros we get tbe fol
lowing relating to the sbeep market:
"About 6,000 head arrived to day,
the greater part consisting of direot oju-
signmeots to oity packers. Trade was
less aotive tbao it has been reoently, and
shorn lambs were a little lower on au
average. Taking tbe week aa a whole,
the sellers have no reason to complain.
Thre has been an active demand at
85 705 90 for wooled OVorado lambs,
the best selling within lOo of the bigb
time. : Western lambs sold at 85.50
5 75 and shorn lambs Bold at ; 9i

Spring lambs sold at $7(3 10 per 100 lbs.

stronger prioes, witb sales at 83.10)5.10,
largely at 81 704 85 for wooled and at
831 82 for shorn, not much being done

Cubans for tbe most part favor annexa

of tbe same opinion, 'lbs Mexican
Herald says on this point:
"Cuba, like Spain, and like tbe United

tioians ho are a menace to its peaoe
aud tranquility. This mob, hungry for
salaries, are threatening all sorts of
deviltry it tbey are not provided for.
All this will have a familiar aouud at

MISS REINMANN DROWNED. .
Swept to ber Death In Swollen Waters of
Birch Creek.
; A deplorable aooident took place Mod
day afternoon four miles south of Pend
leton , in tbe drowning of Miss Keinmaon,
lb' year-old daughter of William Rein
maun,, of Coombs canyon. ' Mr. Rein-
mano and his daughter bad come to
town in tho forenoon, and remained here
during the day, making some purchases.
A short time afternoon,' tbey started for
tbeir borne, and had reaobed the ford of "
Biroli oreek,' whiob tbey found oonsider- '
ably swollen from the heavy fail of rain f
in the mountains daring the night
previously, as well as during tbe day, -Monday.
. ,
When tbey bams oyer it in tbe fore
noon it was not so deep, and tbey hesi- '
tated abont entering the ewlft waters.
But , being so familiar witb the plaoe,"
Mr, Reinmann finally deoided to make r
the orossing, and drove into the stream.
The Current was swift, and tbe water '
deep, and In spite of all efforts to keep :: 1
tbe vehicle under control, it was over- :
turned, and tbe two oooupaots of tbe , 1
wagon were held in tbe water beneath
the wagon box.
, They were in suob a position tbat Mr.
Reimann could not give his daughter '
any assistance, and he was compelled'
to pee ber carried down stream and to
r death, while be himself eeoaped witb
bis own life only by tbe most strenuous
exertions. ' 1 '
Both the horses were drowned, and
tbej wagon lost, aod tbe body of the
young girl was swept down stream.
Immediately, there were men wbo
went to work to find tbe body, and to
lend Mr, Reinmann every assistance in
their power. . (

. BUNCOED OUT OK ili.OOO.
How a Dixie ' Farmer duocumbed to Home
: r - Smooth Bunco Men.
One of the most remarkable cases of
swindling, and at tbe same time of tbe
manifestation of tbe gullibility of human
nature, occurred aoross tbe hoe in Wash-
iogtod, tbe other day, the details having
finally gotten out to the public. Tbe
Statesman tells tbe story :
B. F. Royde, a prosperous Dixie farm
er, while oo tbe road to Dayton tbis
week, met two farmers from the east
looking for investments. Mr. Royoe
was willing to satisfy tbem. As they
were talking, a fourth man met tbem.
He produced aome lottery tiokets, and
each of the farmers drew a small prize.
Then one of tbe strangers and Mr.
Royoe eaob drew a 85000 prize. Tbe
lottery1 man demanded tbat tbey show
tbe mboey to cover this, and they oame
to Walla Walla, where eaob said bis
money was deposited. Mr. Royoe bad
bis money in a tin box, as bad the
stranger farmer likewise,
Mr. Royoe and tbe investing farmer
met the lotterymao this side of Dixie
and the money was all put in Mr.R oyoe's
ooi. There was the $10,000 guarantee
and 850OO winnings of eaob 820,000 in
all, On Tuesday Mr. Royoe brought bis
box to Walla Walla, where the division
of the) money was to bs made. He left
it at the First National bank. A bank
official suggeeleJ tbat tbe box was rather
light to oootain 820,000. Tbe swindled
man took tbe bint, and tbe box was ex
amined by Marshall Kauffman. It oon
