General Bell's Method of Stamping Out the Rebellion in Batangas. Manila, Dec. 18. Generul Franklin Bell has been exceedingly active in Batangas province, where he intends, by every means available, to stamp out the insurgents. Lieutenant Hen nessy, of the Eighth infantry, together with one American scout andasix Fil ipinos, captured an insurgent major, with 42 men, 22 rifles and 880 rounds of ammunition, without the loss of a man. A number of captured docu ments and papers, now in the hands of General Bell, implicate in the in surrection tiie president and other prominent natives of Lian, Batangas province. . General Bell has notified the natives in Batangas that December 28 he proposes to concentrate them in the neighborhood of towns.' He will move their livestock, rice, etc., to within the limits of 'concentration. After that date, everything outside these limits will be confiscated. The roads from Batangas and Laguna provinces are lined with a continuous stream of native men, women and children in the carryalls, carts, and mounted on cariboos, seeking safety from tlis horrors of war.

Torres says he is sub missive to the existing conditions. CHINA IS HELPLESS. Will Yield In the Manchurian Matter to the Strongest Influence. Pekin, Dec. 18. The Manchurian question has reached a stage which best informed observers consider to be a crisis in Chinese history. The Chi neso governent is beset between Rus sia on the one hand and Great Brit ain, tho United States and Japan on the other. The governent is helpless, and will yield to that faction able to bring the strongest pressure to bear. Prince Ching is distinctly more friendly to Great Britain than was Li Hung Chang. The British, Ameri can and Japaneso representatives here have separately visited Prince .Clung and insisted that they be shown any treaty before it is signed. Prince Ching has submitted to them the draft of a treaty practically identical to the treaty already published. Prince Ching is now pressing Rus sia for more definite terms, the pres ent form of the treaty being so vague in its important points as virtually to leave Russa a free hand. The Japan ese minister has taken a strong stand in the matter, and has notified Prince Ching that Japan will require conces sions equivalent to all the advantages conceded to Russia in Manchuria. A PROSPEROUS LITTLE CITY. Has a Population of Only 500, Yet Does the Business of Much Larger Place. Cody, Wyo., Dec. 16. Cody has a population of about 500 and is grow ing rapidly. It is tne terminus of the Burlington Railroad, and will probably remain the terminus for several years to come. It is destined to be the leading town of the Big Horn Basin. It is the shipping point for the flock owners of large herds of sheep and cattle. It is sur rounded by fertile land, much of which is under cultivation, and much more will be in the near future, as there is an abundance of water. There is untold mineral wealth in the mountains around here, plenty of good coal, millions of tons of the finest quality of gypsum, oil and sul phur deposits enough to keep hades hot for centuries to come. The town is incorporated. A contract has been let within a week for a 50-room stone hotel, the foundation for which is completed. A good road has been laid out, and the grading nearly com pleted to the Yellowstone National Park, the eastern boundary of which is about 35 miles from here. Well Treated by British. New York, Dec. 16. Lieutenant Colonel Quayle-Jonau, who, until ordered to England to receive a col onel's commission, was in charge of the Boer prisoners at Bermuda, has arrived here on the steamer Pretoria from Bermuda, on his way to Eng land. " He declared emphatically that the stories that he Boer pris oners were not treated kindly, that they were in need of clothing, and that they were not properly fed, were without foundation. Coal famine la Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Dec 13. A coal famine such as has not prevailed for years exists at this port, by reason of which both coastw ise ami West Indian commerce is almost completely crip pled. Orders for coal both from New England and the West Indies are ponring in, but the merchants find themselves unable to make shipments. This is in a great measure due to a scarcity of cart to carry the coal from the mine. , NEWS OF THE STATE TEMS OF INTEREST FROM ALL PARTS OF OREGON.

Three Disasters in a Day's History of Rail roading Lives Lost In Each. Helena, Mont., Dec 17 A special to the Independent from Kalispell says a wreck occurred on the Great Northern Railroad near Essex, in the Rocky mountains, at 2 o'clock this morning. The engine, mail car and smoker remained on the track, but all the others were derailed. Some cars were overturned and all were more or less wrecked. The accident was due to rails spreading. One man was killed, lie was prob ably smothered to death. The debris caught fire, but the flames were put out by the uninjured passengers. There is said to have been much loot ing during the excitement. The train was going at the rate of 25 miles an hour when it broke in two. The air brakes wore set immediately, pre venting a more serious accident. The largest number of injured were in the day coach. All were asleep at the time of the accident. The Illinois Wreck. Rockford, III., Dec. 17. Failure on the part of a conductor to obey orders is supposed to have been the cause of a head-end collision on the Illinois Central Railroad, between Irene and Perryville, early today. The two trains were the east bound passenger train No.. 4 and a freight train from Chicago going west. , As a result eight people are dead or miss ing and 11 injured. The trains met in a slight bend in the track, both running at full speed. The smoker, express and baggage cars were piled on the locomotives, penning in the occupants of the smoker. Only three of the half dozen persons in that car escaped. The others were penned in and if not instantly killed were roasted to death and their bodies, along with those of the engine crews, were entirely con sumed. All efforts of the survivors to reach the victims were unavailing. The flames drove them back from every point. The temperature was 20 degrees be low zero and an icy(wind was blowing across the prairie, the point where the wreck occurred being a shallow cut, affording no protection. The injured were without hats and wraps and suffered terribly. By the united efforts of the survivors, the way car was pushed back from the wreckage to escape the flames and the wounded were placed on the bunks inside. Went Through a Bridge. Williamsport, Pa., Dec. 17. A freight train on the Philadelphia & Erie division of the Pennsylvania Railroad went through the bridge spanning Lycoming creek, between this city and Newberry, at 6 o'clock this morning. Three lives were lost. The train was known as fast freight No. 83, and was running three hours late, owing to the disarrangement of schedule in consequence of the storm. The bridge spanning the creek was a two-span iron structure, the first span of which gave way. The engine and nine cars were engulfed in the icy waters. The creek was greatly swoolen as a result of the heavy rains, and it is presumed that the middle piece had been weakened. No efforts could be made to reach the bodies on account of the height of the waters. TREATY AGREED UPON. Hay Concludes Negotiations for the Danish West Indies. Washington, Dec. 18. As a result of the negotiations that have been in progress between Secretary. Hay and Mr. Brun, the Danish minister, the last obstacles of substance to the pre paration of the treaty of cession whereby the United States will be come possessed of the Danish West Indian islands have been removed. It is said that the points of differ ence have been adjusted in a manner to insure the acceptance of the treaty ly the United States senate, and it is even possible that the convention may lie laid before that body before the holiday recess. The decision of the supreme court in the insular cases has made easier the preparation of the treay on satisfacory lines. Barn Full of Cars Burned. Chicago, Dec. 18. The total de strution of the Lincoln avenue car barns of the Chicago Traction Com pany, with more than 160 cars, re sulted from a fire this morning. Be sides the building, nearly all the grip cars and trailers used on the Lincoln avenue line were destroyed. Loss, $130,000. Snow la Scotland. London. Dec. 18. The fall of snow in Scotland is heavier than at any time in 50 years. Several camekeen- ers and shepherds are missing, and the destruction ol sheep in the snow drifts, which range from 10 . to 20 feet deep, is unprecedented. Parts of England are suffering almost equally from the heavy snow. A train which was snowed up near Hartington on Thursday, was released only today. The frost is so severe today that out side work has been suspended at many points. Issuance of Duplicate Medals. Washington, Dec. 17. Senator Mitchell has offered in the senate I joint resolution authorizing the issu anceof duplicate medals to such per sons as have received them from the president or congress, and subse quently lost them. While this reso lution is general in character, it is primarily designed to restore to Gen eral H. B. Conipson, of Portland, a medal issued to him many years age. TIIEATY RATIFIED SENATE APPROVES THE HAY PAUNCEFORTE AGREEMENT. Only Six Dissenting Votes Seventy-Two Members Voted in the Affirmative The Principal Speech of the Day Was Made by Senator Teller in Opposition Vote Reached After Long Discussion. Washington, Dec. 17. The senate yesterday ratified the Hay-Pauncefote isthmian canal treaty by the decisive vote of 72 to 6. The vote was reached a few minutes before 5 o'clock, after almost an hour's discussion behind closed doors. There were no sensa tional incidents during the entire time. The debate was confined ex clusively to a discussion of the mer its of the agreement, and the policy of its provisions The principal speech of the day was made by Senator Teller in opposition to the treaty, and he was followed in rapid succession by 12 or 15 other senators, who spoke briefly either for or against the motion to ratify. When the treaty was laid before the senate Senator Teller expressed confidence that the resolution would be adopted, and while he had no pur pose toattepnit to prevent that result, he was convinced that there are few senators who are really satisfied with the treaty. With Great Britain in her present mood he believed, he said, it would have been possible to secure a treaty which would give en tire satisfaction, and he criticised the state department for failing to do so. He took the position that it would have been sufficient to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and said that England knew well enough that with that result accomplisehd sho could very well trust the United States to maintain the neutrality of the canal, as the country could be prepared to do so for many years. benator Culbertson offered an amendment to insert the Davis forti fication paragraph of the last session. This was defeated, 15 to 62. Senator Bacon then offered an amendment striking out in tho pre amble the reference to the Clayton Bulwer treaty the words "without im paring the general principle of neu tralization established in article 8 of that convention"; also the follow ing words in article 7 relative to the purchase of stock, "subject to the provisions of the 'present treaty"; also all of article 3, relative to the neutralization of the canal; also all of article 4, declaring against change of territorial sovereignty, and was defeated, 18 to 60. The treaty then was ratified by a vote of 72 t j 6. SEVEREiSTORM IN MAINL. One of the Worst in the History of the Stale Damage Is Large. Portland, Me., Dec. 18. This state is suffering tonight from one of the severest storms in its history. Floods and washouts have been numerous. Trains are delayed, and mills on the Androscoggin, Kennebec and Penob scott were all unable to start their machinery this morning because of high water. Many cities and towns report that great damage has been done to strocts, families have been driven from their homes, and street railways are inop erative from floods. Up to tonight, only one death had been reported, that of a fireman on the Canadian Pacific Railroad, whose engine plunged into a washout. A similar accident on the Maine Central result ed in the injury of three persons, one of whom may die. Madison, on the Upper Kennebec river, sustained the greatest damage from floods of any place, it being fully $500,000. .Logs and ice crushd buildings and overturned many others, especially in one section of the town, where there are large mills. A million feet of lumber was washed away. The Great Northern Paper Company's loss is very heavy. Its expensive electrical machinery was rumen. The heaviest loss on the Andro scoggin River was sustained by the international 1'aper Company, at Rumford Mills. This company lost more thjin 2,000,000 feet of logs. Reports tonight from that section of Maine east of Bangor indicate that the loss of property will be tremen dous. On the Upper Penobscott alone the loss will range from $80,000 to $100,000.

Death Sentence Passed on tne Leader of a Band of Ladrones. Washington, Deo. 16. A mili tary commission in the Philippines, headed by Major Henry S. Turrill, surgeon, sentenced Juan Olivar, a Filipino, to be hanged. Olivar wag the leader of a band of ladrones which made an attack upon the house of Theodore Labrador, president of Minea, Fanay, and captured him, his brother, wife, grandmother, god mother, small daughter and a police man. The grandmother, godmother and daughter were shot to death in the vicinity of the capture; Labrador, his wife, and the policeman were taken to an isolated spot and killed with bolos. The brother made his escape. Incidentally Olivar and his band robbed Labrador of 78 carts, 800 pesos and other articles General Chaffee criticised the pro ceedings on the ground that the ac cused was charged solely with the murder of Labrador, assault upon him with intent to kill, and robbery, while the murder of the three women, one small girl and the policeman was not included in the charges. A band of Tu !ianes, armed with bolos, rifles and daggers, killed 11 members of the Echevarra family at Naro, Masbate, on August 14, 1900, for the sole reason that the victims were Spaniards. Two members of the band were brought to trial and were sentenced to be hanged. But in view of the fact that the more responsible participants in this crime already had paid the death penalty, tne sentences were commuted by General Chaffee to life imprisonment. Ygnaoio Siaoting, an insurgent leader operating against the American government after having taken the oath of allegiance, was sentenced to be hanged for murdering a woman suspected of friendliness to the United States. Not the End, Says Raynor. F Baltimore. Dec. 14. IsadorRavnnr showed keen disappointment when the findings of the court of inquiry were communicated to him tonight. He nnnounoed that he will go to Washington as soon as his eneace. monts will permit and will consul Admiral Schley to fight the caae to a nnisn Dy every appeal that is possible. He said : "I would prefer now not to say anything in connection with the opinion. I think the country will almost unanimously accept Admiral Dewey's judgment. The testimony was so overwhelming upon almost every one of the specifications in favor of Admiral Schley that I must con foss I am utterly at a loss to under stand upon what facts or upon the evidonco of what witnesses the other two members ol the court reached their conclusion. "I am absolutely satisfied that tho opinion of the two iudees is at total variance with the opinion of the country, and this will not by any means terminate the controversy. I shall advise the admiral to fitrht it to a finish, to open it by every appeal uiai is possible, congressional or otherwise, and I believe that tlm sentiment of the whole country will uphold him in his resolve not to let tne judgment ptand." THE BLIZZARD CONTINUES. Two Men Frozen In the Red Desert Country of Wyoming. Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. 16. The blizzard raging throughout Southorn Wyoming is terrific.
