Venezuelan Forces arc Being Decimated at a Rapid Rate. Washington, May 20.— Advices of a thoroughly reliable character received in Washington, nnder date o( May 10, show that the Venezuelan revolutionists are not only holding their own, but are making considerable headway. The advices say: The districts of Coro, Barqnisimeto and Tncacas, on the west side, and Ciudad Bolivar, on the Orinoco, and its surrounding country, are still in tbe power of revolutionists. Within 60 miles of La Gnayra, in the Rio Chico district, the revolutionists are holding forth, and, althongh the government a few weeks ago sent an expedition there to drive them out, they succeeded only in making them retreat, and within a few days they were again back there. A battle took place, in which the gov ernment lost o\er 1,000 men and about 300 wounded were brought back to La Gnayra after a two days’ fight. On the other hand, the revolutionists have not snreceded in ousting the gov ernment or in winning any particular fight, bat they are decimating tbe gov ernment troops, and the government has not more than 3,000 men nnder arms! RUSSIA IS niFFED. Criticisms of American Press Not Taken Kindly by Officials. St. Petersburg, May 20.— The Rus sian officials express themselves as be ing deeply hurt at the criticisms of the American press on the subject of Man churia, and say that, “ considering »be friendship extended 40 years ago, when America needel friends, America might at least inquire whether the Anglo- Japanese news was not colored in Anglo-Japanese interests.’ ’ The Manchurian inci ent threatened at one time to cause serious trouble on th ' Bourse. When th- excitement was at its height Finance Minister Witte visitel Foreign Minister Lamsdorff and informed him that “ under the influ ence of American representations, Jap anese trnculency and American news paper attacks,” in addition to the Bal kan troubles, the Honrse was danger ously weak. The finance minister also -leciare-1 that a continuance of tbe for eign attacks would threaten Russia’s credit. There is a widespread b dief there that M. Planchon, the Russian charge at Pekin, represents the Grand Duke Alexieff and the war party. W IL L APPEAL TO HAY. Missionary Arrives Home to Bring Up Congo Free State Abuses. New York, May 19.— After six years’ mbsienary work along Kassai .river, in the Con,’o iree state, Kev. It illiam Morrison, of the American Presbyterian mission, returned today on the Uunard line. Mr. Morrison, whose story of the abuse« that the natives of the Congo free state are alleged to he sub jected to by the Congo administration, lias attracted some attention in London, says he will furnish to the state depart ment more evidence of these abuses. Mr. Morrison left Luebo early in April. On hearing his story of abuses, the society for tiie protection of the Aborig- inee, in London, took up the matter, and Mr. Morris-on furnished a rej>ort to Foreign Secretary Lansdowne. The re port will be taken up by parliament on May 20. “ I come here to lay the matter be fore the secretary of state,’ ’ he said, “ and I believe that the act'on of those in authority both here and in England will result in better conditions in the Congo free state, ft is not a free state. In hnebo. where I have been working, you can buy a woman for $10. I have not seen men sold, for their services are too valuable. They are practically forced to work, and this amounts to virtual slavery. The conditions are not growing any better. Tbe things that I have seen and the things that I know by investigation are embodied io my report to Lord Lansdowne, which I shall present to the state department here.” W ILL IMPORT CHINESE. South American Mlneowner.s Expect to Override Popular Prejudice. London, May 19.— Tbe importation of Chinese labor into booth Africa was decided upon in principal some time ago, bat no definite plans have yet been found regarding the number to be im ported net the renditions to govern the importation. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain and the big firms of the Rand are in agree ment that no other solution of the labor difficolty is possible. At prerent half the stamps at the mine are idle because only 50,000 Kaffirs are procurable, when 150,000 men are required. As a consequence, the conditions at Johan nesburg are daily growing worse and business is slack. White labore ■ flocked there at tbe close of the war, but they were unable to find satisfactory employment, and discontent is rife. Thia suits the Rand magnates, who are loth to accept the role responsibili ty for introducing yellow labor, and hope that the prevailing paralysis of trade will soon lead to a popular de mand for the importation of even the “ hated Chinese,” so that the mines may be set working at their full capac ity, with a consequent revival of busi ness depending thereon. Up to the present, however, the trading popula tion of South Africa is bitterly opposed to the importation of Chinese. PALMA W ILL AID TREATIES. He Will Urge Interests ot America la tbe Cuban Congress. Havana, May 19.— President Palma today assured the correspondent of the Associated Press that understandings would be reached on all the treaties be tween the United btates and Cuba, and that the signing of them will follow shortly. He also «aid he would do all he possibly could to secure their ratifi cation during the present session of tbe congress of Uuha. bnt it ¡8 generally believed that the reluctance of eenatora to conclude further treaties before the reciprocity question is settled makes it doubtful whether tbe naval stations can be occupied hefore another year. The order of signing the treaties will be: First, the Platt amendment; sec ond, the naval stations; third, the Isle of P:nes. The question of obtaining the soldiers’ pay loan promptly en grossed public attentionjto the exclusion of the treaties, but the more intelligent of the people realize that the conclusion of the treaties will make the loan more easily and advanta* sously obtainable in the United States markets.

Tbe board tally be lieves that the town is now entirely tree frem the disease, having had no new cases since April 27, althongh there are now several eases in quarantine who were exposed prior to that time, and a few of them may yet be stricken down. Contestants are Keen. The number of contests over the set tlement and proving np of public lands at the Oregon City land office multi plies as these government lands become more scarce. Scarcely e day passes but the contest department of the local land office hears one or more contests. Per sons filing on lands now find that they must comply in the strictest sense with the provisions of the law under which the filing is made, or they are sure to be involved in contest proceedings. Farm Hands Wanted. Farm hands in Eastern Oregon are scarce and farmers are applying to em ployment agencies at Portland lor men.

The war department has awarded to the Featherstone foundry and machine company, of Chicago, a contract for building two dredges for use in Oregon rivers.
