Washington, Oct. 25.—In the ax onal report of General Wilson, chief of •nigneers, the following is said about iefenses at the mouth of the Columbia: "The defenses include works of the aider type, one garrisoned and one in ebarge of an ordnance sergeant. With tho funds appropriated by the act of 1896, work was commenced during the year on five emplacements for 10-inoh guns on disappearing carriages, two emplacements for 8-inch guns on disap pearing carriages, and two mining case mates. At the close of the year, the JO-incb emplacements were Completed, And three Ill-inch carriages mounted. A wharf had been built for the con itruction of the 8-inch emplacements, «11 necessary plant assembled and the excavation completed. One mining casemate was also under construction. With the funds appropriated by the act Of 1897, an additional emplacement for an 8-iuch gun on a disappearing car riage and a mortar battery for eight 12- inch mortars will be constructed. At the close of the year, plans for these works had been partially prepared. There are no existing works of defense on Puget sound.” The following estimates we made for river and harbor improvements for Oregon and Washington for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1899: OREGON. ■ 'oqiitlle river................................................. |115,OOO Vppcr Coquille river....................................

It is stated that the land has not yet been acquired for the boat railway at The Dalles. For the same reason, nothing has been done on the Seattle ditob. CERTIFICATES NOT REQUIRED. Judge Hanford'» Ruling a» to Wives and Children of Chine»» Merchant». Seattle, Oct. 25.—Judge Hanford, »f the federal court, today handed down a decision in a Chinese case, in which he holds that the wives and children of Chinese merchants doing business ip the United States do not have to have certificates from the Chinese govern ment to entitle them to enter this sonntry. Government officials here say that, if the opinion is upheld by the higher courts, it means that the impor tant section of the Chinese exclusion act which provides that sons and daughters of Chinese merchants doing business in this country must secure certificates from their home government is no longer the law. United States District Attorney Brinker w ill at once report to the treasury department Judge Hanford's ruling, and it is expected that the attorney-genreal’s office will at once take stejis to have the case ap pealed to the supreme court. Treasury agents claim that if the de cision holds it will open the gates for a flood of Orientals, for, if certificates are not required, any number of Chinese can claim to be children of merchants in the United States. Judge Hanford's decision is in direct opposition to that of Judge Lacombe, of New York. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE KILLED "Terrible I.o«n »t Life by Cyclone In the Philippine». Madrid, Oct. 25.—A dispatch from Leyte, Philippine islands, says that place has been almost devastated by a cyclone, that many persons have been killed and that the damage to property is incalculable. The cyclone destroyed the towns of Tagloban and Hernani, on the island of Leyte, as well as several villages. It is estimated that 400 persons lost their lives through tho disaster. Ijater advices from Manila say the cyclone occurred on October 12, and added that Carriga and Burga, on the eastern coast of Leyte, had t>een wiped out, and that an immense wave swept the island. Several hundred natives }ierished at Tagloban. The cyclone also swept the island of Sammar. The full extent of the catastrophe is not yet known, but the damage is estimated at 7,500.000 pesetas. "The army, although inadequate in point of numbers, was never in a higher state of efficiency. “The progress that has been made on the Pacific coast in the establishment of modern batteries of artillery have made it necessary to occupy new ground and to adopt a new system of defense.” Attention its invited to the report of General Merriam, commanding the de partment of the Columbia, especially to the need of a larger garrison at the en trance to the Columbia river, and to hi» report on the condition and necessities of the great territory of Alaska. As all the other territories have been occupied by military postsand measures have been adopted for building military .oads, bridging rivers, and, in fact, siding and blocking out the way for occupation of the vast territories by citizens, it is deemed but just and ad visable t*iat the same liberal spirit should be manifested toward that great and important territory. He says: "As far as practicable it would, in my opinion, be advisable to have its W’aters thoroughly examined by such of the naval force us could be used for that purpose, and as military reconnoiter ing and exploring parties in past years have been sent to the country to fur nish knowledge of its character, re sources and necessities, this, in my judgment, should be continued on a larger and more liberal scale. While there is no conflict between the popula tion, composed of some 20,000 Indians and the white explorers and settlers, yet, as the former are supplied with modern arms, they may become turbu lent and troublesome. Such has been the history of nearly all the tribes in the other territories. Hence, it would be but reasonable to anticipate the necessity for a military force in that territory by the establishment of at least three military posts to support the civil authorities, to give protection to the white settlers, and to aid in maintain ing law in that remote section.” In the last 10 years much attention has been given to coast defenses, and most beneficial results are apparent. Approximately, 926,000,000 has been appropriated by the government, which is nearly one-third of what is required to put the country in a safe condition of defense. Although the general de- «ire of our people, he says, is to main tain peace with all nations, and the policy of the government is one of good will and peaceful relations with all others, it would be more judicious to provide defenses than to remain in a condition of insecurity and permit the THE NOTE ANSWERED. accumulated wealth of many genera tions to be destroyed or endangered by Spain Say« She Han Done All In Her any foreign power with which we are Power to End the War. liable to come in contact.” Madrid, Oct. 26.—In the special note He recommends fortification appro to Minister Woodford, the government priations in the West as follows: declares that Spain has done all in her Sail Diego...................................................... t 720,000 power to end the war in Cuba, and cites San Francisco.............................................. 1,336,000 river............................................ 605,000 the many sacrifices which have been Columbia Pngei sound......................................... 1,140,000 made by the nation, the num tier of He recommends strongly an increase troops sent to Cuba, and the reforms which arc carried out on the island, in the army of at least two additional regiments of artillery, saying that by which are fully described.

The rocky shore in this vicinity was strewn with wreck age today, but there was no way of identifying the ship until this evening, when two men from shore, who had gone out in a small boat to secure any of the crew who might still be alive, picked up Captain Anfindsen and Sea men Chris Larsen, who had been float ing about on an improvised raft for over 14 hours. To his rescuers, Adolph Peterson and Henry Anderson, the captain said the bark struck on a reef this morning and seven minutes later capsized. When she tipped over, all the crew were washed overboard. The steamer car ried 15 men, but from the moment the accident ocourred the captain has seen none of his crew except his companion, Larsen, and haB nodoubt that the other 13 have all been lost. When thrown into the water, Anfind- sen and Larsen by good fortune were enabled to raft some pieces of floating timber. They succeeded in drawing the boards together, and clung to the improvised raft from the timo of the accident until late this afternoon, while the storm beat about them, being ex posed to the most fearful gale of the season. They had almost succumbed from cold, exposure and exhaustion, and were with great difficulty saved by their rescuers. The eea has been so high all day that it has been impossible to launch a boat from shore, and even this evening the two men who went out and accom plished the rescue risked their lives in the breakers. Later in the evening the steamer Alcazar cruised about the scene of the wreck, but could find no trace of the other seamen. This is a very dangerous locality for shipping, and when a vessel is once thrown on the rocks she is certain to be doomed, and there is little chance for the escape of her unfortunate crew. The Caspar sailed from San Francisco yesterday for Usal, where she was to load lumber for San Francisco. She was owned by the Caspar Lumber Com pany, and registered 300 tons.

GOVERNMENT TO BE PAID IN FULL Subscribers Are Prominent Wall Street Brokers—Seventy-Five Milillion Already Turned In. New York, Oct. 25. — RiiBsell Sago created a sensation in Wall street late yesterday by announcing that he had been invited by President McKinley to form a syndicate to bid on the Union Pacific railroad on the basis of satisfy ing the full government claim in tho Union Pacific. Mr. Sage invited sub scriptions to a plan to be hereafter brought out by him. The payment of the government claim in full is under stood to be the first condition in thia plan. Mr. Sage’s representative an nounced last nigh, that he had received subscriptions for over 975,000,000 within two hours of his announcement. It was said that he would continue to receive subscriptions until his plan was subscribed at least three times over. As to the bond transactions, Mr. Sage thinks there is unlimited capital avail able for settlement of the Pacific road debt without loss to the government. Among tho subscriptions reported to Mr. Sage's Union Pacific scheme were the following: Mr. Astor’s subscription is said to have been received by cable. Some of 1 the names are said to represent other interests besides the subscribers. It is said a large insurance company will subscribe 910.000,000. Mr. Sage goes to Washington today to confer with the president and the attorney-general, at their request. LAUNCH BOILER EXPLODED. | Accident to One of the Boats Texas. of the Boston, Oct. 25.—The boiler of one of the steam launches of the battleship Texas blew up while it was alongside the battleship, and a number of men, including two officers and a surgeon, were injured, none fatally. The explosion occurred just as the launch reached the side of the ship, having towed down two ship’s boats full of men who were engaged in the naval parade. On the launch at the time were 35 men, including Lieuten ant-Commander Delhanty, Lieutenant Bristol, Ensign Wadhams and Dr. W. K. Dubose, the ship' ssurgeon. The smokestack, the top of the boiler and part of the canopy over the boiler were blown into the air, and what was left of the launch caught fire from the flame that followed the bursting of the boiler, but the fire had little to burn. In the pit with the boiler John Phil lips, an oiler, and John Fisher, a coal passer, were thrown violently against the wooden partition. Fisher was badly injured internally. Ph'Hips es- cajied with severe bruises. The cox swain, Thomas Sullivan, was thrown against the side of the launch, but was only bruised, and the sailor with him was completely blackened by soot, but unhurt. Dr. Dubose had two front teeth knocked out. BONES WERE MOVED. Marcus Whitman*» Grave at Whitman Mission Opened. Walla Walla, Wash., Oct. 25.—This afternoon Marcus Whitman's grave, at Whitman mission, seven miles west of Walla Walla, was opened, preparatory to the erection of a mausoleum of brick and granite thereon by the Whitman Memorial Association. President Pen rose, of Whitman college; a few stu dents and newspaper men only were present, besides the contractors. Near the surface of the mound in one corner, four skulls nearly intact were discovered; also a number of minor bones. The skull of Dr. Whitman was recognized by the gold filling in one of his teeth and a tomahawk wound at the baBe of the Bkull. Dr. Whitman, his wife and 11 asso ciates, massacred 50 years ago. are sup posed to be buried in the grave. The bones were brought to this city this evening, to be classified by physi cians.

In a railroad collision between A ric in isa and Mangas several soldiers were killed. Inhabitants of a suburb of Havana report hearing firing just outside the town last night. The firing continued for several hours, and this morning some wounded troops were brought in. No details of the tight have been ob tained. but the undertone has been very strong i at times, and prices were up 5 cents over a week ago. The news has been quite bullish in tone, and foreigners have been liberal buyers of wheat for nearby shipment. About the only thing that at all favored the bears was the fact that rains had fallen moder ately over the drouth stricken area, and that fall work was again in progress in the winter wheat sections. Receipts of wheat have been large, with an ur gent demand for good milling wheat from nearly all quarters. Exports for 1 the month of Septemlter were the larg est on record, footing up 26,000,000 bushelf. The American visible supply shows an increase of 199,000 bushels for last week, and now totals 24,629,- ! 000 bushels, against 57,285,000 a year ago. The fact that France lias again been a large buyer of wheat the past week has done much to stimulate prioes, and were it not that speculation is very light we should have seen a far greater advance. Wheat is on a legiti mate basis—the basis of supply and de mand—but every oneneems to be afraid of it because they compare prices with what they were a year ago, and many predict declines, but while the cash de mand is as urgent as it is now, and foreigners are buying our wheat and flour at the rate they are now doing, there is no chance for more than slight reactions and everything favors a higher rauge of values. We feel very bullish on tho situation, r.nd advise our friends to get hold of some wheat and it will soon show them a good | profit. • There I imh been more weakness shown in corn than the most sanguine bear had looked for, and as holders be came easily frightened and threw their holdings on a market that was narrow and with light trade at the start, the result can easily be foreseen—rather sharp decline with shorts the best buy ers.

New York, Oct. 35.—The Herald ha* made investigation int? the alleged de parture of the filibustering expedition from New York on the schooner Silver Heels last Saturday.
