Death Goes With Drouth. There is a coincidence in a prolonged drought and in an increased mortality iniong the negroes In Charleston, S. C, as also a connection between the two. The News and Courier, of that city, says there has been little rain in that section for 40 davs or more, with the result that many of the water cis tern! are empty. The colored people in the city depend largely for their water supply on water caught in bar rels from the roofs of their houses. This is vile water under the beet con ditions, daily becoming worse when the apply is not renewed. . With the fail ure of this the negroes, having no knowledge of hygiene, resort to the sur face wells, which, if nut worse, are as bad as the depleted cisterns. As a re sult the health officer s report of the number of deaths among the negroes for the week, ended on Saturday last was 25, the deaths among the better situated whites for the same period be ing only two. An effort to remedy the sonditions Is being made in the estab lishment of artesian drinikng foun tains. Where these hare been placed sickness and death rate have been great ly reduced, and the News and Courier calls for their general introduction in the negro quarter. -AN OPEN LETTER TO MOTHERS.

GIVES IH TUB PBKS3 DISPATCHES A Complete) Bartow of the Mawa of the Past Seven Days ha This and All Vatwtga Lands. The house, by a vote of 90 to 43, has refused to consider the senate immigra tion bill. As a result of the deficiency of rain fall in the principal gram-growing dis tricts, California's wheat orop is pro nounced a failure. The expedition under command of Captain Dorst, Fourth cavalry, which left Tampa on the transport Onssie, has made a successful landing within 60 miles of Havana. The correspondent in Rome of news papers in Paris all affirm that a revolu tion in Italy is imminent, and that a popular rising throughout the country will not long be delayed. A bold attempt was made to hold np the stage running from Alturas to Red ding, Cal. The highwaymen three times shot the driver, who, however, fought desperately, and finally succeed ed in beating oil his bold assailants. The Manila rebels cannot be re strained, and massacres of Spanish priests and officials continue. A proc lamation issued by the rebel chief call ing upon alt insurgents to obey Dewev's orders fails to completely stop the Dioody work. , A seriouf outbreak by hungry Span ish peasants occurred la the town of Logsonok, Spain. Grain stores were attacked and pillaged. A cavalry troop charged the mob, but it was repulsed by a determined onslaught made by women armed with axes and omlgels. A Hong Kong special to a New York paper says a trading vessel from the Philippines report having witnessed the destruction of a Spanish warship by the United States gunboat Concord at Hollo. The fight lasted two hours. There was no casualty or damage on the Concord. Commissary -General Egan has or dered the purchase of 1,000,000 rations at San Francisco for the tioops to be sent to help Admiral Dewey complete the conquest of the Philippines, and Assistant Secretary Meikeljohn has chartered two fine steamers as trans ports. : The Hawaiian mail has arrived in Washington, and It is given out that the Hawaiian government stands ready to afford the United States all possible aid in carrying out its military and naval plans in the Pacific, furnishing its ships coal, refuge and facilities for repairing. . A Cadis special says the Spanish war and caval departments are advancing preparations for a relief expedition to the Philippines, which it is said will be composed of 8,000 regular soldiers and. two batallions of marines. In structions have been sent to General Augusti to hold out as long as possible, 40 days being required for the arrival of an expedition going by way of the Sues canal and the Red sea. Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn has chartered about 30 shins with a ca pacity of 25,000 men. They are to be nsed to convey troops to the Philip pines and Cuba, The Spanish government has no money to buy war supplies, and will therefore insist that the cortes sit con tinuously until credits are voted. Pro visions and especially wheat are becom ing scarce at Madrid. A correspondent of a London paper says Sagasta knows Spain's cause la hopeless. He acknowledges the situa tion is most grave, and again declares that his country was forced into war by the United States. It is asserted in Hong Kong that Ad miral Dewey finds the insurgents at the Philippines growing dangerous. He cannot control them, nor can he en able the Spaniards to do so. Massa cres are said to have occurred outside Manila, the insurgents killing Spanish women and children. Under the law Admiral Dewey and his men have become entitled to a rich bounty. Even if the numerical Im portance of the fleet of Admiral Mon tcjo has been overestimated, the offi cers and men of the Asiatic squadron will be entitled to share among them something like $187,000 bounty money. Sir Charles Dilke, an eminent British authority, when asked whether any question of international law or prac tice affected the United States' right to retain the Philippines, said: "None whatever. The States will hold the Philippines by the right of conquest. No power or powers will have the slightest title to interfere." The large number of rejections of vol unteers has caused much comment in the army medical corps. The physi cians who have conducted the examina tions say that outside of the ranks of cigarette smokers there are even fewer rejections than there were in the days of the civil war. Among habitual users of cigarettes, the rejections are about 90 per cent. . Minor News Items. The entire gang of train roblvers who held up the Santa Fee train near Oro Grand, Cul., lias been lodged in jail. On the Yukon, at a distance of from 700 to 800 miles from the sea, there are many points where the river is 20 miles wide. Col. William Avers, who died at his residence in Philadelphia, enjoyed the distinction of having been the first union prisoner who was exchanged dur ing the rebellion. In New Zealand two persons work ing together con tni tote a factory. George A. fowler, president of the Fowler Packing Company of Kansas City, has given Kansas university a gift of $18,000. A writer declares that 500,000 men now do work with the aid of machinery which needed 16,000,000 persons to do a few years ago. Litigation over a hearse at Ba; Har bor, after ; a year's continuance, was brought to an end by an agreement be tween the parties that the hearse be nM and the proceeds devoted to pay- lug Hie wis anu lawyers' fees. ' LATER NEWS. The end of the severed Manila cable is said to be on board an American war vessel. The Spanish "official" version of the bombardment of San Joan is that the American fleet was gloriously beaten back. . Rioting was1 more seripns than at first reported at Luilo. Later advices say that many persons were killed and wounded during the conflict. The North German Gasotteof Berlin says it learns the insurgents of the Philippine islands have secured all the arras stored at Cavite arsenals. A Madrid dispatch says it is reported that a strong military expedition ia be ing organised at Cadis and that it will shortly proceed to the Philippine Islands esoorted by the Cadii fleet. The war department's plans for an immediate invasion of Cuba have been materially changed by the news of the presence of the Spanish floet in West Indian waters. It will delay the move ment for a time. Four of the men killed on the Wins low were laid at rest in the city ceme tery at Key AVest They were buried in the shallow lime rock, side by side with the graves of the victims of the Maine. The body of Ensign Bagloy was sent home for interment. The Spanish fleet sighted off Mar tinique is said to have consisted of five large warships and two torpedo-boats, The American squadron now at San Juan includes Sampson's six strongest warships, the New York, Iowa, Cin oinnatl, Indiana, Detroit and May flower. There is a suspicion in Washington that Frenohmen wnre behind the guns at Cardenas Wednesday. It is said they shot too well for Spaniards. An inquiry is probable, and If the suspicion proves to be well grounded, complies tions may ensue between the United States and France over the incident. The transport steamer Gussle, whioh left Key West with a big expedition for Cuba Wednesday night, had a lively engagement with the Spanish at Cabanas, province of Pinardet Rio, but succeeded in accomplishing her mission The Uussie carried 7.000 rifles and i large ; amount of amunitlon for the Cubans. Chaos reigns at Nuevitas, Cuba, Every, boat in the harbor has been Jammed into the narrow channel to be sunk at the first sign of attack. Two thousand soldiers guard the entrance, 12 miles from the city. The Spanish commander told the starving citizens to go into the country, as he could not feed them. Many soldiers are joining the insurgents to get food. Conditons at Puerto Principe are still worse. The whereabouts of the Spanish Cape Verde fleot has at last been definitely ascertained. Secretary Long has re ceive" I advices from Martinique, Wind ward islands, that it had been sighted to the westward of that island. Upon receipt of this information Long imme diately ordered Commodore Schley, at Hampton roads, to put to sea with the flying squadron. It is believed that the squadron has been sent in pursuit of the Spanish fleet A column of 5,000 Spaniards started for Moron, Cuba, carrying a flag of truce. When fired upon by the insur gents, the commander sent word that he was no longer making war upon the Cubans, but. was going to the coast to fight the Americans. General Lopes replied: "Spain cannot fight the United States without fighting us. Their war ia ours." Then he again opened fire. The Spaniards lost 900 men in four days' march to the sea. Sampson's squadron is said to have met and defeated the Cape Verde fleet in a naval battle east of Hayti. The report cannot be verified. Germany has intimated to the United States, it is said in London, that she expects to have a voice in the disposi tion of the Philippine islands. A boarding-house burned in Chicago and three of the inmates lost their lives, while four other were injured. A number of narrow escapes are re ported. A special received in Washington from Fort de France Martinique says an American squadron of nine ships is bombarding San Juan, Porto Rico. Secretary Long says the report is premature. , A Washington correspondent says that Adiqiral Dewey has had instruc tions sent him from Washington order ing the immediate destruction of all Spanish warships and fortifications at the Philippines. Spain is overrun with plotters. Weylerltes, Carlists and Republicans are each striving to raise a revolt. Their latest scheme is to obstruct pro cedure in parliament, so that the people will be in an explosive mood when the next Spanish reverse shall occur. A Havana special to a London paper says: Four American vessels opened fire on Cienfugoa Wednesday and at tempted to .land arms and men in barges. The Spanish troops, assisted by the fort, drove Off the invaders. The American guns destroyed the cable station. A second attempt to land was also frustrated. The fighting continued for eight hours, and it is rumored that the Americans lost heavily. Altgether 14 Spaniards were wounded. The United States government has established censorship of telegrams, forbidding the transmission of code messages to or from Havana. The oldest house in Pennsylvania has been damaged by fire in Chester. It was built in 1608 and was long used as a tavern, and later as a playhouse. Underground London contains 8,000 miles of sewers, 84,000 miles of tele graph wires, 4,680 miles of water mains, 8,200 miles of gas pipes, all definitely fixe. With an apparatus called the myo- phone a French scientist claims to have proved that the nerves may live hours alter the death of the body. Col. John 8. Mosby, of guerilla fame, now a resident of San Francisco, has wired to Gen. Miles for permission to raise a battalion or regiment oi volunteers for special service in the front. ; Glass bricks are gradually coming into uso, and it is said that glass will soon be used for making statues for publio squares, as It realms the corrod ing effect of the we&i&er much better than njsrbla or finite.

The buabear of the yellow fever scourge is to be ig nored, and the Spaniards are to be ejected from Cuba before midsummei. if American soldiers can drive them out. Last week's decision to keep the volunteer army in great camps at home to drill and harden them for the campaign of invasion next fall, has been set aside, and, Instead, the new regi ments furnished by the states will be hurrying toward Cuba within a week.

A proposition on foot at the Omaha Trans-Mississippi fair this summer which is of vital interest to Oregon farmers, Is the mannfactuia of sugar, illustrated by a plant in operation on the ground. The complete ptocess, it Is said, will be ilUiBtratod and all grades of the staple article will be made in plain sight of spectators. In connection with this project, ac tive Interest has been manifested by the Oregon commissioners. Special representatives of the commission have visited the Grande Rondo valley and the Willamette valley, and have ac quainted those Interested with the plan for showing the progress mado in lato years at utilising the most plublon- looktng plant known to the ngrlcul tnrlst In a general way it is statod the sub ject of sugar beet growing will be treat ed from the time the seed is planted nntil the orop is matured and will be practically exemplified. Arrangements have been made to demonstrate at the fair that Oregon'! wondofully fortile soil la especially adapted to the growing of the beet, and that li capital in the middle west ern states is seeking an outlet In this promising industry, Oregon offers the best advantages and every inducement to oome hero. It will be the purpose of those in charge of Oregon exhibit to explain what has boen done for the industry at La Grande and to show that Willamette farmers will do the same for a factory hero. The agricultural college faculty, which has enlisted its support in a gratifying way, will arrange complete exhibit of Oregon soils with scientific analysis. This will be displayed In the horticultural building at Omaha and all queries relating to soil and crops will bo answered. In a most complete and satisfactory manner. Whatever shall be accomplished for Oregon at tho Trans-Mississtpul fair will bo praotical. as the commissioners dove had thai end in view in all thoy have under taken to do. R. D. Inman, of Portland, who li largely interested in working for tho success of the Oregon display, says that he is satisfied that the Omaha exposi tion Is to be a great success and that Oregon will reap beneficial results in greater proportion from tho foot that the exposition city lies In the path of thousands bound westward after gold or a home this season. It is nearer home and the attendance at the fair will be drawn from all the trans-Mis- sisslppl states and the East. If the Paoifio coast states want more people to settle in their borders, additional capital and fresh Industries, Mr. Inman most heartily believes this is the time to let the world hear fiora us. Too much cannot be done for immigration, for upon future immigration depends Oregon's advancement. The General Kihlblt. The soooes of the Oregon display at the Columbian Fair at Chicago will be repeated on a far more comprehensive scale at the Trans-Mlssisslppi Exposi tion, which opens In June. The state commissioners appointed by Governor Lord, having in charge the work of preparation have gone actively to work and not a day has been lost. Funds are pledged, there is over 6,000 foct of space contracted for on the ground floor of the department buildings at the exposition, and everything is progress ing toward a successful end. From the time the subleot was first broaohed the proposed Oregon exhibit at tne iair nas met wun popular lavor, The advantages to be derived from tha advertising which every section of the state will receive there this year, seem to be clearly realized. The advan tages, it Is believed, will be greater in proportion than cams from the Colum bian fair, although in that world's con gress of wonderful sights Oregon did appear as quite a factor. The salmon fisheries of the Columbia, the wool- growing industries, the mines and stock ol Eastern and Southern Oregon,' the fruits from Hood river and the fortile Willamette valley, and the varied other resources of this stato will be represented. An exhibit at tho Trans-Mississippi exposition which will bo noted with the deepest Interest by the entire medi cal fraternity will be the baby incuba tor, and the progress of the poor, puny, little lives that will inhabit it will be watched by thousands of eyes. Tha Invention is designed to assist naturo In preserving the lives of newly born, babes who are too frail to battle for ex istence, and tho records show that since 1891, when it was first Intro duced, It has saved sovoral thousand human creatures by forcing pure ozone into their lungs, providing an even temperature for their sensitive little bodies, and protecting them against the thousand and one dangers to which these tiny newcomers In this world are exposed. Australian Coal for Japan. The price of coal In Japan has risen very greatly of late, far beyond any expectation. Australia has been ship ping coal to Japan and owing to the high lyice of the commodity has found the venture a paying one, notwith standing the proximity of the Chinese coal fields. A slight fall in prices, however, will stop the Australian im ports. ' ' ' ' ' Xf arrow of Giraffes' Bones. The flesh of yonng giraffes, especially that of a young cow. is extremely good, somewhat like veal, with a game-like flavor. The tongue, from 18 to 20 Inches long, is also very good. But the marrow bones afford tho greatest luxury to the South African hunter. A giraffe marrow bone, about three feet In length, roasted over the camp fire and sawn in half, furnishes, with the accompaniment of toast or bread, an epicurean feast for a couple of men. Lottery of Marble Carving. Blocks of marble for statuary pur poses are something In the nature of a lottery. Onslow Ford, who is at work on the statue of Huxley for the natural history museum at South Kensington, London, has been most unfortunate in this respect Twloe he has had his work well under way, when he has struck blue veins, which ruined the statue. He is n"w at work on the third block. The fashionable quarter of Sidney, Now South Wales, bears the beautiful I nw of WeoHoomtnoolioo.

Tho Russian government will shortly open a water route into the interior of Russian Turkestan and thus furnish the country with communication, and to some extent with water also. For this purpose advantage will be taken of a lino of depressions ot valleys ex tending from a point on the lower course of Amur-Dtiria river eastwaid to the Caspian sea. A canal to the Caspian can be built on a comparatively easy line. The Russian experience in Turkestan has shown that the ancient fertility ot tho country can be restored by Irrigation, and largo shipments of cotton are now made to Moscow. The promising mineral deposits have a two been located and transportation In ad dition to tho present trans-Caspian railroad is much needed. BILLS OV I A III IX PASIIIONAHLK KKMTAIUANTS.
