JURY DISAGREES.
Ten for Conviction and Two for Ac
quittal In Land Cases.
Portland, July 21. "If you will vote
tor tlu acquittal of Williamson, we will
vote tor the conviction of Biggs and
Owner." ,
This in substance was the astounding
proposal made by Jurors O. II. Flook,
of Olalta, Douglas county, and U. O
Walker, of Walker, La tie county, to
their fellow jurors in the Williamson
Biggs-Gesncr trial.
For 4tl hours these two jurors stood
firmly entrenched against the majority,
finally securing the discharge ot the
jury by Judge De Haven yesterday at
1 p. m. Both Flook and Walker are
constituents of Ringer Hermann and
are said to be his warm personal friends
W. O. Cook, the juror who was sup
posed to be for acquittal, was in fact
firm tor conviction. He was one ot the
leaders of the jury and his questions in
open court, which seemed to indicate
doubt in his own mind, were asked by
him as spokesman for the jury in order
tho secure ammunition to use on their
refractory fellow members.
In all, 42 ballots were taken, and In
the end it was as in the beginning, the
jury standing 10 for conviction of all
the defendants and two for the acquit-
tal-of the three men who have been on
trial for a week or more charged with
subornation of perjury.
District Attorney Heney immediately
asked that a new trial of the case be set
for the earliest possible day, and in
spite of the protest of Counsel Bennett,
for the defense, Judge De Haven set
the retrial ot the case for todar.
Judge Benrett made a pfea for more
time in order that the defense might
make additional preparation, but with
out success. Judge De Haven directed
that the drawing of the new jury be
commenced this morning, believing
that by the time the 12 men were
secured the witnesses could all be on
band.
The trials of W. N. Jones, Thaddeus
S. Potter, Daniel Clark and Ira Wade,
charged with conspiracy to defraud the
United States of public lands, had been
previously set for this morning and the
action of Judge De Haven in fixing the
new Williamson trial for 10 o'clock to
day, and his remarks touching the in
dictment in the Jones case virtually
sustained the demurrer filed by the
defendants attacking the indictment on
which the prosecution is based. He
said that the Jones case would prob
ably not be tried as he was satisfied
that the indictment was insufficient,
but that he would render a formal de
cision this morning when court convened.
NO RELIEF IN SIGHT.
Additional Steamers Cannot Be Ob
tained for Coast Run.
Portland, July 21. With first-claBS
passengers going in the steerage, a long
waiting list for every berth, and both
steamers going south crowded to the
utmost limit of safety, the Harriman
offices in the east continue to sell tick
ets for the trip from Portland to San
Franciscuo, and R. P. Schwerin, gen
eral manager of the San Francisco &
Portland Steamship company, says the
Columbia and St. Paul will continue to
be the only steamers on the run.
Having bought their tickets for the
voyage several weeks ago, would-be
passengers naturally expect a chance
to go to California without much delay.
The independent boats are finding
plenty of passengers, but the majority
of those who go present themselves at
the liarriiiian office to arragne for
berths have already paid their money.
Slipping quietly into the city, Man
ager Schwerin yesterday stated posi
tively that no more steamers would be
put on the San Francisco & Portland
run, despite the tremendous tourist
traffic which has been expected for
monthB. He denies the report from
Seattle that the steamer Valencia, of
the Pacific Coast company, will come
here temporarily. Mr. Schwerin says
that every steamer on the Pacific coast
is busily making money elsewhere now.
The tourists who come through Port
land, must wait their turn, therefore.
Tonight the steamer St. Paul will
sail for San Francisco loaded as usual.
Assayers Receive Stolen Ore;
Cripple Creek, Colo., July 21. Six
assayers of this district have been ar
rested and, placed under heavy bonds,
npon a charge of receiving high-grade
ore, knowing it to have been stolen.
From a set of books examined in one
assaying office it is known that about
$3,000 profit was made by the assayers
in the last six months. Other books
lead the officers to believe that upward
of $1,000,000 worth of ore has been
stolen in the district every year and
disposed jot to assay offices, who knew
they were receiving stolen ore.
Will Take Spaniards Home.
Madrid, July 21. The Spanish gov
ernment, it is announced, is arranging
for the repatriation of the Spaniards
who were imprisoned in the Philippines
by the Americans during the war of
1898, and who are still in the islands.
WARSHIP WRECKED
Hardly a Member ot Crew Es
capes Death or Irury.
BODIES FLUNG HIGH IN THE AIR
Bolters of Bennington Explode In San
Diego Harbor Causa of Dis
aster Is Unknown.
San Diogo, Cal., July 22. Twenty
eight dead bodies are lying at morgues,
on piers and on the deck of a ruined
vessel ot the United States navy, scores
ot men are lying grievously or painful
ly injured in sanitariums and hospitals,
and IS sailors are missing and probably
have found death in the waters ot the
harbor as the result of an explosion of
a boiler on board the Uuited States
gunboat Bennington at 10:10 o'clock
yesterday morning.
The Bennington at the time ot the
accident was lying in the stieam, just
off the Commercial wharf at the toot of
H street. The warship had received
orders from Washington to sail for
Port Harford, where she was to meet
the monitor Wyoming and convey the
vessel to Mare Island navy yard.
Steam was up and everything was in
readings for sailing, when suddenly
and without any warning whatever the
starboard forward boiler exploded with
a deafening roar. The explosion was
terrific. People standing on the shore
saw a huge cloud of white steam rise
above the Bennington. Columns of
water were hurled into the air and for
a distance ot nearly twice the height of
the spars of the vessel.
On board the Bennington the un
harmed membeis of the crew are work
ing under great difficulties to reach the
boiler room and coal bunkers, where,
it is believed, a dozen bodies are lying
wedged in the wreckage or submerged
in the water which fills that paitof the
vssel. The cause of the explosion has
not yet been determined. There is
much talk among the crew, especially
the irresponsible members, of weakened
and leaking boilers, but until a thor
ough inspection of the wrecked boilers
can be made no definite official state
ment is obtainable.
It was explained by those on board
that the 'wrecBago was all below, but
just how seriouB this is will be fully
determined only after a thorough ex
amination.
JURY IS CHOSEN.
Williamson, Gesner and Biggs to Face
Charges a Second Time,
Portland, July 22. Twelve men were
selected yesterday morning out of 38
answering to the call of the clerk of the
Federal court, to whom will be given
what has proved to be the difficult task
of deciding the guilt or innocence of
Williamson, (teener and Bigg9, in their
second hearing, which commenced yes
terday. When the last man of the 12
was accepted by the government, there
remained but one name in the jury box.
The jury was finally selected at a few
minutes before 1 o'clock, Judge De
Haven having determined to fill the
panel before allowing a recess, and
therefore holding court from 10 until 1
o'clock. Court was then adjourned
until this morning at 10 o'clock, when
a half day's session will be held and
the technical points disposed of prior
to the real commencement of, the trial.
Upon the opening of court yesterday
morning Judge Bennett asked in behalf
of Mr, Williamson that a separate trial
he granted his client, but the court
overruled the motion and ordered that
the three men be tried at the same
time, as in the previous bearing.
At the conclusion of the morning ses
sion District Attorney Heney dismissed
the case against Willard N. Jones,
Thaddeus Potter, et al., owing to a de
fect in the indictment. This case,
which is one of conspiracy, will be tak
en up once more, in all probability, by
a new grand jury yet to be called, and
a new indictment will probably be re
turned. .
Bread Riots Trouble Spain,
Madrid, July 22. SeriouB disorders
have occurred at Seville, arising from
the general distress. Four hndred farm
laborers invaded Seville, looted the
bakeries and shops and committed
other depredations, until they were dis
persed by a strong force of police and
gendarmes. A mob stormed the city
hall at Salonica, broke into the build
ing and sacked it. A member of the
municipal council fleeing from the riot
ers, jumped from a window and was
killed. The Republicans are summon
ing mass meetings in Madrid.
Rushing Wheat to Mexico.
Tacoma, July 22. The German
steamer Tbeben returned to Tacoma to
day with rush orders to load 1,000 tons
of wheat in order to sail for Mexican
ports before the new tariff adopted by
Mexico goes into effect
