C ou rt- Managua, Nicaragua, Oct. 7.— The court-martial w hich was in session here for several months trying, in the ab sence of most of them, the chiefs of the revolutionary movement which began in February at Bluefields, has pro claimed its decision. General Pablo Reyes and two or thice other insnrgent officers who escaped from Nicaragua, are condemned to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, which is death. Only one of the prominent leaders wan captured. He is not^ in the peniten tiary. No public accusation waa made in these cases nor is any reason offered for the arrests. The sensation is all the greater because there have been no indications of an uprising against Presi dent Zelaya since last February. Such lawlera acts as the government ia committing in this regard, acts usually at the expense of members oi the party not in power, tend to check the reviving activity and again to im pair credit. Except for such arrests, however, and the impressment into hei army, matters axe fairly quiet. D a n g e r « o f W h a le h u n t ln g . San Francisco, Oct. 7.— The officer! ofthe whaler Belagu tell of the terrible fate of Oscar Huschenbett, a sailot, in the Arctic. On August 26, 1898, the boats were lowered for an enormoui whale. Just after a harpoon had been fixed in the whale’s side and he had started off at tremendous speed, llus- chenbett Btepped carelessly into the rope’s bight. A loop caught his leg and he was drawn into the water. In passing out of the lioat the liody of the man hurled itself against Third Mate Nikito and one of the crew, knocking both overboard. The mate scrambled np and slashed the rope into with his knife. Then began a chase for the whale and the liody of the man. Foi three hours the monster raced and rank to the bottom before he could be lanced and the sailors’ body recovered. W i l l S a il F r o m P o r t la n d . Washington, Oct. 7.— The Thirty- ninth sure, and possibly the Forty-fifth volunteers, w ill sail from Portland. Orders were issued today to Colonel Bullard, commanding the two battal ions of the Thirty-ninth, at Fort Cook, Neb., to go to Vancouver barracks foi the purpose of railing to the Philip pine islands by way of Portland. No orders have been yet issued for the Forty-fifth, but there are good indica tions that this regiment w ill also ren dezvous at Vancouver and sail from Portland. The determination of Sec retary Root to give Portland a fail show of the business to which it is en titled by its location seems to have jier- meated the San Francisco authorities, and even General Shafter has now re commended that the Thirty-ninth sail from Porltand, and so strongly that if is believed he w ill include the Forty- fifth as well.

What can you expect in a contest be tween an elephant and an ant? One thing w ill result from it. America w ill accept no more arbitrations with Europe. You w ill see America laid down a fresh international code, which she will apply to the Old World whether the latter likes it or not. The South American states, including Brazil, w ill rally around the United States for the purpose of effecting an economic union. W e shall try to establish a monetary union on the basis of the gold standard. These projects need not im ply a hostile attitude toward Europe, bnt it must be borne in mind that Europe stands in mnch greater need ol us than we of her.” 13, 1899. WAR IS INEVITABLE Great Britain Is Massing Her Troops. PARLIAMENT W IL L REASSEMBLE T h e G o v e r n m e n t A c t i v e l y P r e p a r in g fox « G r e a t S tr u g g le lu Sou th A fr ic a . London, Oct. 9.— Whatever may be the result of Great Britain’ s contro versy with the South African republic, every department of the government today is as busy as though actual hos tilities had begun. The electric Hash that announced the mobilization of the army reserves and the summoning of parliament, set every wheel of the gov ernment machinery in motion. An hour after the Gazette appeared, exe cutive orders were lieing dispatched from the war office to every section of the kingdom, and the 10,000 bulletins which appeared posted throughout the country today are raid to have been identical with the proclamation pre pared for use had the Fashoda incident required such a step. At the same time Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour were issuing the necessary orders for the reassembling of parlia ment, and the admiralty was concen trating its transports. So complete were the preparations that 25,000 re serves have already individualy received coupon tickets which contain instruc tions where each man shall report for railway trans)>ortation to the place designated, and a money order for three shillings for proivisions en route. At Woolwich today, it was asserted that 95 per cent of the reserves would be fully equipped within six days. In the meantime, the members of the two houses of parliament are arranging to return to London, and a force of men is busily engaged in completing the improvements at Westminster. The important news from South Africa comes from Mafeking, where twice on Saturday the British camp was aroused, the men stood to their arms, guns were limbered and patrols were dispatched in the direction of the liorder. No hostilities have occurred as yet, but the enemy has moved prao- tieally to the border, eight miles from Mafeking, in force, estimated at least 6,000, comprising five commanders. The garrisoning and fortifying of the town are practically completed. The streets are barricaded, and a jierfect system of mines has been laid. Two armored trains have arrived at Mafeking, consisting of three bullet proof cars, tiie first of which carries a searchlight, while the rest of the cars are loop-holed. Faoh train is com plete in itself and carries its own pro visions. N o W a y to A v e rt W a r. NO. 47. CANNIBALISM N «lli«t o f tb e IN SO UTH SEAS. N e w H e b r id e s R o a s ts • H a w a iia n . Vancouver, B. C., Oct. 9.— A re markable story of cannibalism was brought to Sydney, Australia, a few days tiefore the sailing of the steamer Aorangi to this [sirt, by the French steamer Jeanette. The victim of the display of savagery was a native of Hawaii, named Amaru, who acted as orderly to the immigration department at Noumea, in the New Hebrides. About six months ago Amata mr,e- ried a native woman of Aoba, in the New Hebrides group, and on passing that island on the second day of the voyage of the Jeanette to one of the outlying islands, he decided to visit his wife’s trilie. Accordingly the couple were put off in a small lioat, and it was only a few weeks ago that the steamer made a second call and learned their fate. By mistake they had landed on an unfriendly Bhore and were taken prisoners. The man was tied to a stake and his torture begun. This consisted first in allowing vicious jungle snakes from which the poison fangs had been re moved to attack the man’s legs. Then a fire was made at his feet and his legs were horribly burned, though the injury was superficial so that the victim would not die under the treat ment. Then he was made the target for the spears of the tribesmen, who finally killed him. He was torn to pieces and placed over a fire with two sheep. In fact, according to the story he was eaten with the sheep. In the meantime Amaru’s wife had been provided with another husband. The matter was reported to a British man-of-war, but it is thought no action has been taken. DROVE G en era l THE REBELS G r a n t '« C onu nu nd F r o m Iin u s . BACK. A dvanced Manila, Oct. 9.— General Fred Grant, with three companies of the Fourth infantry, two companies of tbe Fourteenth infuntry and a band of icouts attached to the fomer regiment, advanced from Imng this morning, driving the insurgents from the entire west bank of the Iinus river. Three Americans were wounded. It ia esti mated that 10 Filipinos were killed. Companies C and H, with the scouts, crossed the river at the big bend and advanced westward in the direction of the llinacayan road, the insurgents firing volleys, but retiring. Twenty Filipinos were discovered in trenches at the llinacayan church, aliout mid way between llacoor and Uavite Viejo. These were routed, six being killed. R iley’ s battery of the fifth artillery made an effective sortie aliout a mile south of llacoor and shelled the west bank of the river at close range. That bank is now held by the Americans. H e a v y L o « « o f M u le «. Washington, Oct. 9.— A cable mes sage from General Otis to the war de partment brings word of the loss of several hundred horses and mules on the transjiort Siam. The message fol lows: "M anila, Oct. 9.— The steamer Siam, which left San Francisco August 18 with 45 horses ami 328 mules, en countered a typhoon September 21 off Northern Lnzon, In which all but 16 mules wore lost. The animals were killed by the pitching of the vessel ami the lack of air from the necessary clos ing of the hatches. There were no casualties among the passengers. It is stated at the quartermater’s de partment that the mules which were lost on the Siam were trained pack mnles, which were considered the most valuable sent to the Philippines. Southampton, Oct. 9.— Sir St. John Christopher Willouhby, who accompan ied Dr. Jameson into the Transvaal in 1896, and who, for participating in the raid, was sentenced to 10 months’ im prisonment, but was subsequently re leased, was a passenger by the steamer Mexican, which railed for the Cape on Saturday. Mr. Weasels, member of the Ca[>e assembly for Vryburgh, was also a pussenger by the Mexican. In the course of an interview, Mr. Weasels declared that he raw no way to avert war between Great Britain and the Transvaal, and, if not long, it would lie terribly severe. He believed it would be imjiossible to restrain the younger Dutch residents of Cajie Colony, with whom blood would prove thicker than H o r n . In W a s h in g t o n fo r D e w e y . water.

Everything about it is on a gratia scale, as well It may be, for no ex pense has been spared to make every thing connected with it first-class in every respeet. To accomplish this re sult it was necessary to invest $12,000 as a starter, and this amount was quickly forthcoming. The enterprising business men of Portland went down into their pockets and produced the cash, for they recognize the fact that the fair is a great object-lesson, an educator, and instructor— an enterprise that benefits the entire Northwest. The products of every section of the Northwest are freely given place in ths exposition at Portland, and the minos, farms, fields, factories, forests aud fish eries all make a grand showing, and there are grains and grasses that any part of the world may be w ell proud of. Colonel H. C. Dosch, Col. R. C. Judson and Louis M. Spiegl have collected to- jether and have on exhibition thou- iands of specimens of grains and grasses and fruits and vegetables raised in the Northwest, all of which make a splen did showing for this rich region. Among the many things seen at the exposition in Portland may be men tioned the mining exhibit. Tons of ore, all showing just where it came from and its value is shown, having been collected by J. P. Marshall, and there Is a reproduction of a quartz mine, with its big timbers, shafts and tunnels, built by J. F. Batcheldor, of the Portland Railway Co., who is a practical mining engineer. In a large illnminated cave is a com plete fish hatchery, in which young sal mon may be plainly seen in all sb-ges of hatching ont, and there is a full- grown Royal Chinook salmon always on exhibition. There are a great many sights to see at the exposition. The realistic re production of Multnomah falls is worth going miles to enjoy, and it is a great success. The real water, with the whole of Bull Run river liehind it, falls 80 feet; and the rustic bridge is there for the people to cross, and the sylvan pools, and ferns and mosses aud big, live fir trees. The falls are attracting great crowds and w ill run all the time to the closing, October 28. Portland is a very attractive oity t* visit, and it has snch a splendid street car system that the Btranger can see the business section, the attractive homes and the Hplendid suburbs all on a single 5 cent fare, while comfortably seated in open electric cars. Two car lines pass the door of the great exposi tion building, in which the great fair of the Northwest is held— the City & Suburban line and the Washington street line— and all the stranger has to do is to take a car which is plainly marked, "D irect to the Exposition.” The war museum, which is nnder the direct supervision of Captain E. 8. Edwards, Colonel D. M. Dunne and General O. Summers, is a grand sight to see. It was the carrying ont of a brilliant idea suggested by Dan Mc Allen, one of Portland’s most patriotic and enterprising business men, and it w ill be the means of adding many dol lars to the fund being raised to the Oregon volunteers who lost their lives daring the recent wars. The Immense exposition building at Portland has tieen vastly Improved In every part of its interior, and is gay with flags and banting, and at night presents a scene of splendor rarely equalled. It has 3,500 electric lights, aud presents a picture to be long re membered. E s tim a te s fo r th e N a v y .
