Ministers Object Qlvlnf Hlro Quid Until
Captives are Free.
Washington, June 21. A cablegram
received at the state department from
Consul General Gummere at Tangier,
in confirming the press report that the
sultan has agreed to all of Raisuus
terms, adds the bandit requested that
the money ransom, $55,000, be paid
over today. Mr. Gummere expressed
grave doubU aa to the advisability of
making this payment before Ferdiearis
and arley were actually released,
and safely returned to Tangier.
In his cablegram the consul general
states that Kaisuli'a negotiator re
turned to Tangier last night and re
ported that the terms had been ac
cepted" and the money as well as the
prisoners released by the sultan today
must lie immediately turned over to
Raisuli at Taradant, where he is now
located, and the captives will be re
leased.
Mr. Gummere and the British minis
ter both objected to this plan, on the
ground that they placed everything in
Raisuh's hands and they had no assur
ance that he would carry out his agree
ment after he got hold of the money.
Therefore they sent a special courier to
Raisuh, suggesting that the exchange
be effected through the sheritt of Wazen,
who had a powerful influence over
Raisuli. The answer is expected tomorrow.
Based on past experience, it is feared
Raisuli is not to be depended upon,
and once he has the money in hand
and still controls the prisoners, he will
make fresh demands. However, noth
ing more can be done at this stage, ac
cording to Mr. Gummere, and the state
department will await the conclusion
oi this last attempt to free the prison
ers.

CURRENCY FOR PANAMA.
Commission Makes the Dollar of the
United States the Standard.
Washington, June 21. lhe com
mission charged with the preparation
of a currency system for Panama today
reached an agreement, which estab
lishes a coin equivalent in fineness and
weight to the dollar of the United
States as the standard, and which also
makes the United States dollar legal
tender in Panama.
Under the terms of the agreement,
the Panama government will recoin or
convert the Colombian silver into coins
of the size of a silver dollar. The
amount of this silver in Panama is now
estimated.at $1,500,008.
At the request ef Secretary Taft, it
was agreed to coin more silver until a
total of $6,000,000 is reached. In or
der to retain a parity with gold, there
will be deposited in some reputable
bank in New York 15 per cent of the
amount coined, and, in addition, there
will be deposited all the seignorage
which Panama Till make in the coin
age to meet the American government's
lequirements. The agreement provides
for a joint arrangement between the
government of Panama and the canal
commission, under which, by selling
drafts and drawing on the funds ex
change can be kept down to a reason
able figure, not above 2 per cent and
thus avoid large fluctuations of the
rate.
New York, June 20. Every hour
adds to the horror of the excursion
steamer disaster, when the General
Slocum was burned to the water's edge
near North Brother island. Divcis
had explored the wreck of the steamer,
and reported that no more bodies were
to be found there, but today a diver
who was at work on the Btiuken hull
found a laige number of corpses packed
tightly inside of one of the piuldle
wheels. Just how many there were
was not known, but it was planned to
remove them as soon as Coroner O dor
man reached the scene.
The coroner had arranged to visit the
wreck today for the purpose of ascer
taining, if possible, what evidence of
culpability on the part of the Knicker
bocker Steamship company or of the
officials of the boat, if any, could be se
cured to present to the coroner's iiv
quest. Therefore, it was determined
to take out the bodies at that time.
At various hospitals where the in
jured are visited today it is said that
their condition is fair. There are now
only 53 victims of the disaster in the
hospitals.
Today it is said another horror has
been added to the terrible conditions
resulting from the disaster through the
over-ofliciusness of some person at the
morgue. As a result some of the
bodies probably never wiil be identified
and will go to a last resting place in the
humble plot furnished by the city s
charity. When the bodies were taken
by hundreds from the water and hud
in lows on the grass at North Brother
island, each was tagged with a num
ber. That number was carefully re
corded, and the papers, valuables and
trinkets which would have served to
possibly identify the bodies were re
moved and placed in separate packages,
each package bearing a number corres
ponding to the number on the body
from which the articles were taken.
When the bodies were taken to the
morgue they were placed in numbered
boxes, but in many cases these num
bers did not correspond with the fig
ures the bodies previous had borne.
As a result, the plans were comp.etely
upset and the numbered packages of
valuables became practically worthless
as a means of identification.
Total Loss of Life In Steamer Disaster
Now Put at 7(H).
New York, June 18. With unceas
ing effort search is going on for the
bodies of those who perished yesterday
on the steamer General Slocum. What
the list of victims will total scarcely
anyone dares venture to guess, but
whatever the number may be, there is
hardly a parallel in the history of dis
aster where death came to so many in
so brief a period of thne. Police and
health department officials have placed
the number at a figure as high as 1,000
and more, but tonight it would seem
that tho maximum figure will not
largely exceed 700.
All day long, until darkness shut of!
even the melancholy suiistucUon ol
watching for the dead, anxious search
ers kept up their vigilance and at dusk
there had been recoveied 63(1 bodies',
for the greater part women and chil
drenmothers who, weeks ago, had
planned that fatal outing for their chil
dren, and little ones who had longed
for the coming of the happy day.
Up to dusk 490 bodies had passed
through the morgue and of these more
than 300 were unidentified. The Fast
Side had its sympathy aroused to the
fullest extent, and down by the river,
where the boats unloaded their dead,
thousands gathered throughout the day.
Streets leading to the morgue were
blocked, and only with difficulty could
the police clear the pussages lending to
the long rows of colhns for those who
came in search for the missing
Up the sound, where the hulk of the
General Slocum lies submerged, show
ing only a paddle-box, scores of small
craft aided the tugs in grapling for the
victims. Divers went down time and
time again, and when the work ended
for the day they declared there were no
more bodies in the wreck, A score of
times a diver reappeared alter his
phmge with the body of a woman or a
child. Two of them coming to the
Biirface together on one occasion had in
their arms two little girls, sisters,
clasped in each other's embrace, and
their mother, it was thought, whose

dead hand tightly clenched the skirt of
one of them.
As far as they could, the divers
searched the wreck from stem to stern.
The wreck lies about 200 feet off Uar-
retoa Point. At this point the water
is deep and the current is swift, and
beyond a doubt many bodies have been
borne along with the tide to be given
up on a later day at some distant point.
Oovernor Receives the Text From
Interior Department.
Salem Governor Chamberlain has
received the full text of the decision of
the secretary of the interior rejecting
the claim of the state ot Oregon to the
swamp lauds within the Klamath In
dian reservation. Briefly stated, the
decision quotes the swamp land act of
IStiO, which specifically provides that
the grant to tho state shall "Include
any lauds which the government may
have reserved, sold or disposed of (in
pursuance of any law heretoloie enact
ed) prior to the continuation of title to
be made under the authority of the
said act."
The treaty creating tho Klamath res
ervation was not made until 1804, but
the decision holds that the right or
title of occuancy of the Indians ex
isted prior to that time, as recognized
by the act of 1848, establishing the ter
ritorial government of Oregon, wherein
It was provided;
"That nothing In this act contained
shall be construed to impair the lights
of person or property now pertaining to
the Indians in said territory, so long as
such riuhts shall remain uncxtin
guished by treaty between the United
states and such Indians, or to affect the
authoiity of the government of the
United States to make any regulation
respecting such Indians, their lands,
property or other rights, by treaty, law
or otherwise, which it would have been
competent to the government to make
if this act had never passed."
The secretary of the interior hold
that this provision recognizes the title
or riirht of occupancy of the Indians
to all the country occupied by them,
nd that the treaty of 1804 operated
merely to cede to the United States the
uihtR the Imlams held in lands other
than those set apart as a place of resi
ence the Klamath reservation. In
other words, the treaty of 18U4 but re
lined the extent of the possession of
the Indians, whose right existed prior
to the swamp land act of 1800 and still
exists.

HARBOR FREE TOO LATH.
UNABLE TO BLOCK HARBOR.
Japanese Make Another Desperate At
tempt at Port Arthur.
Liao Yang, June 21. According to
trustworthy news from Port Arthur,
the Japanese, before June 14, made a
fourth unsuccessful attempt to block
the entrance to the harbor, using four
fire ships, two of which were immedi
ately sunk by shots from the batteries,
the other two withdrawing. The Rus-
sian fleet, according to these advices, is
intact, and the spirits of the garrison
and inhabitants are excellent.
The soldiers are eager to fight and
are confident of the impossibility of
the taking of Port Arthur by the Jap
anese. Most of the inhabitants have
enlisted in the volunteers and 600
women have offered their services.
Perfect order is maintained and trade
and industry are carried on as usual.
Provisions are plentiful, there being
a sufficient supply to last six months
on full rations and a year at reduced
rations. The Japanese outposts are 18
miles from Port Arthur.
Forces Now More Fven.
Liao Yang, June 21. The retirement
of the Russians before a superior force
from Vafancow and the advance of the
Japanese east and north makes immi
nent a still more important engagement
In the southern region. The Japanese
have now arrived at a point where the
forces are more equal, and where they
must fight on more even terms. The
loss of 2,000 men by the Russian divis
ions at Vafangow shows the courage
and ability of the officers and troops to
retain their position under a percent
age of loss almost unprecedented.
Report of Japanese Advance From
yen la Causing (Jreat Alarm.
St. Petersburg, June 20. The popu
lar disappointment felt in St. Peters
burg over the result of Lieutenant Gen
eral Baron Stakelberg's fight, which it
had bein hope for the past 36 hours
might turn out to be a victory, is temp
ered somewhat by the knowledge that
the Russian force was overwhelmed by
numbers. General Stakelberg does not
attempt to conceal the seriousness of
bis losses, but his report and the re
ports from all other Russian sources
agree that the retreat was in no sense a
rout. The fierce character of the fight
is made evident by the fact that the
Russians were again forced to abandon
their guns, thus indicating, as in pre
vious encounters, the superiority of the
Japanese artillery.
The Russian official reports of the
losses are awaited with the keenest in
terest. The war office declines to ac
cept the Japanese figures unreservedly,
although the officials frankly admit
that they believe the Russian casual
ties were severe.
The keenest interest is now manifest
ed in the reported advance of two Jap
anese divisions from Siuyen with the
intention of taking General Stakelberg
in the rear. It is realized that if this
report should prove true the Russian
commander may be unable to extricate
himself, and if he should be cut off
trom ueneral Kuropatkin s main army
the fate of the detachment would be
sealed.
Further Demands Will Be Oranted.
Washington, June 20. The state de-
partment has received the following
from Mr. Gummere, American consul
general at Tangier; "As reported yes-
terday, Raisuli has increased his de
mands. I am informed today by the
ministei of foreign affairs that one of
the shieks and two of his brothers,
whose apprehension were demanded by
Raisuli, have been arrested; also that
a courier has been dispatched this
morning to Raisuli to say that li
further demands will probably be
granted by the Moroccan government."
Japanese Have Already Landed Men to
Attack Port Arthur.
Tokiq, June 18. A flotilla of tor-
pedoboata and torpedoboat destroyers,
under command of Captain Tsucbiya
and co-operating with the army, made
reconnaissance in force near Siau
Ping island yesterday and bombarded
the Russian outposts on the coast to
the west of the island. Siau Ping ist
land is 12 miles to the west of Por-
Arthur.
At noon the Russian cruiser Novik,
convoying ten tortiedoboat destroyers,
steamed out from Port Arthur. The
Russian shore batteries protected these
vessels with a heavy cannonade. The
Japanese flotilla retreated slowly, fir
inn as it went, for the purpose ol decoy-
inn the enemy to sea. At 3 o'clock in
the atternoon the Russian ships re
turned to the entrance of Port Arthur
The fact that the Novik came out of
Port Arthur makes it certain that the
Russians have succeeded in blasting
channel through the cement laden
merchantmen sunk by the Japanese in
the entrance to the harbor. This free'
dom of egress comes too late to permit
of any effect upon the operations of the
Japanese army, for men, guns and
stores have practically all been landed
and Admiral Togo is capable of keeping
the remnants of the Russian fleet un
prisoned in Port Arthur.
Last Monday night Japanese vedette
boats, protected by torpedo boats and
torpedo boat destroyers, succeeded ii
reaching the entrance to Port Arthu
and planting a series of mines there
The darkqess of midnight favored the
oepration. The Japanese vessels were
not observed mid they returned to the
rest of the squadron without having
sustained any damage.
Intended to Pocket Stakelberg.
St. Petersburg, June 21. The war
office has received important news re
garding General Kuroki and the reason
why he is at Suyen with three divsons
of about 30,000 men and with the re
serves. It is believed Kuroki really
contemplated combined operations to
cut off and pocket Stakelberg, but that
he delayed too long. It is understood
that Kuropatkin sent a strong Russian
force south of Liao Yang to meet Kuro
ki ' move.
Japanese Loan In Oreat Demand.
London, June 21. A dispatch to the
Central News from Toklo announces
that the total subscriptions to the sec
ond issue of exchequer bonds ( 9 50,
000,000) amounted to $100,246,762.
The bonds are issued at 92, bear 6 per
cent interest and are to run for seven
years.
Chines Bandits Fight With Russians.
Tokio, June 20. A detachment of
the army under General Kuroki cap
tured the town of Siu Yen, after rout
ing and defeating a force of 300 Rus
sians and 300 mounted Chinese bandits.
The enemy retired toward the Tao riv
er. The total of their losses is not
known. The Japanese sustained no
casualties. This is the first actual re
port of Chinese bandits fighting with
Russian troops and it may mean that
large numbers have enlisted.
Russia Has Not Protested.
St. Petersburg, June 20. An official
denial is published of the rumor that
the Russian ambassador at Washing
ton, Count Cassinl has protested against
the reported intention of the govern
ment of the United States to dispatch
a squadron of warships to Turkish
waters with the view of bringing pres
sure to bear on the port to secure the
payment of American claims.
Urgea Fair Exhibit.
St. Louis, June 18. Before depart
ing for New York, Prince Pun Lun an

committee of one to secure China s par
ticipation in the Lewis and Clark expo
sition to be held in Portland, Or.,
1005. The prince remarked to Theo

Walter B. Stevens, that he was very
much impressed with the American
idea of celebrating the anniversaries of
great events with big expositions, and
declared he would use every effort to
secure Chinese participation.

two other counties for cutting a road

and tho Gwinn-Isauc people have 80

territory available. In spile of tho
normally overcrowded condition of tho
Giant range, no trouble is experienced
with settlers by tho Gwinn-lBaiio peo

The annual protest is also beginning
to go from water users in the irrigated
sections, who are afraid that the flow
of their vai ions streams will be lessened
throuirh sheep eating out underbrush
at the headwaters of these streams
Whether the increasing deficiency I
flow during the dry seasons is due to
extra demands made by the constant!
growing number of irrigators, or to the
disappearance of mountain shrubbery
and consequent lack of anything to le
tain the snowfall is a disputed Issue
between sheepmen and water users,
issue which brinies up the old conten
tion about whether sheepheidere burn
out the undergrowth to help grass for
the next season or not.
Meanwhile, the bands whose aggre
gate will fill the Blue mountains of
three counties mentioned with nearly
1,000,000 sheep are pouring in, and

F.ugrne K, MeMurphy, one of the-
stockholders of the Willamette Valley
Woolen Manufacturing company, has-
leguii suit foi sequestration of the
Kugene woo.cn mill property and ap

is the result of too small capital to bo-
gin with and mistakes in building the
mill, so that by the time the mill wan
in condition to become productive and
profltublo the capital and resources,
were so nearly exhausted that it suffer

Wool Sells at High Price.
Pendleton Practically all the re
maining wool of Umatilla county wasi
disposed of at the second wool sale
under the auspices of the State Wool

topped the market at lo cents. The
average price was 14 cents.
Hay Crop Is Short.
Ilillsboro The Washington county
hay crop will not be more than a half
yield this season, owing to the extreme
dry weather during the monMi of May.
In the lowlands along the Tualatin and
other small streams the timothy is
much better than on the plains, where
in many places there is not a third of
a yield. The way things look, Wash
ington county, which has always sent
out thousands of tons of timothy each

not lie able to enter the markets to any
appreciable extent.
