TO SEQUEL A SEA TRAGEDY. Anderaen, the Olive Pecker Murderer, Mu«t Hllllg. Insurgents Attacking City of Iloilo.. the PEOPLE ARE TERROR-STRICKEN Look for an Aaaanlt to is. Made At Any Tint«—An Appeal to the Cap. tain of the Charleiton. Manila, Nov. 15.—The following ad vices have been received from Iloilo, capital of Panay, one of the principal islands of the Visayas group: “The insurgeuts have occupied Lin- ganis, Otou and Pavia, auburba of Iloilo, and are daily expecting to at tack the town. The Spaniards have abandoned the mole and destroyed the connecting bridges. Business is par alyzed, and the inhabitants are in a state of terror. The mercantile houses of all nationalities have signed a ciiou- lar, asking the commander of the United States oruiser Charleston to re main, as the Spanish authorities are incapable of affording them protection.” It is reported also that the insurgents have taken the whole of the islands of Negros and Zebu, of the Visayas group. As the cable connections are cut. it is impossible to confirm the rumor. November 6 General Rios, Spanish governor of the Visavas, is said to havs declared a seven days’ armistice in or der to communicate with Madrid, with a view of transferring control to the Americans. Major Bell has gone to Iloilo to ascer tain the facts of the situation. The United States transport Scandia will leave tomorrow with CO sick and discharged men. Report From Governor Rios. Madrid. Nov. 15.—The government has received a dispatch from General Rios, governor of the Visayas islands, reporting the rebellion in tne island of Negros, and announcing the departure from Iloilo of the mail steamer Munos with a number of invalided men. REFUSE Mutiny TO LEAVE. Among Spanish Soldiers Puerto Principe. in Washington, Nov. 15.—Adjutant- General Corbin received a dispatch to day announcing that the Eighth cavalry sailed this morning from Savannah for Puerto Princiiie, Cuba. The regiment will be the American garrison at Puer to Principe and Nuevitas. In tlris connection an interesting bit of information has reached the war de partment Arrangements have been made by the Spanish authorities to send back to Spain the Spanish troops, numbering 9,500 men, upon the arrival of the American garrison. It was ex pected they would sail Wednesday or Thursday, but an unexpected obstacle has arisen among the men themselves. They are on the verge of mutiny, open ly declaring they will not return to Spain until they have received their pay, now far in arrears, for service in Cuba. The mutiny extends not only to the enlisted men but to their officers, and is directed against the executive officials of the government on the island. Some of the men have not been paid for nearly a year, and to all of them several months of pay is due. The situation has created no particu lar concern in the minds of the Amer ican authorities, as it is not likely seriously to affect the control of that portion of the island by the American forces; but it is realized that these 9,500 soldiers, if they should persist in their refusal to return to Spain, might become dependents whom it would be difficult to care for, and ultimatelv, perhaps, a menace to good government in the island. The Spanish authorities express no fear of their ability to solve the problem presented, but how they will solve it if the men, backed by their officers, absolutely refuse to return home without their pay is not clear. REDUCED TO ASHES. Business Portion of Canyon City, O».e Destroyed by Fire, Baker City, Nov. 15.—At 11 o’clock last night fire was discovered in th« Elkhorn hotel, at Canyon City, and within two hours the entire business portion of the town and a number of residences were reduced to ashes. The fire department was unable successfully to combat the flames, owing to a lack of water. The buildings were mostly frame, and the fire made rapid prog ress. The conflagration was due to the explosion of a lamp. Friday night recalls to memory th« great conflagration that destroyed the town on August 12, 1870. Canyon City was at that time the liveliest town in Eastern Oregon, made so by the mining excitement that prevailed as a result of the gold discovered in Canyon creek. The population of the town was much greater then than it has since been, and the number of bus iness houses was larger. The fire of 1870, like the recent conflagration, swept through the town and left it a mass of ashes. Fire at Bloomfield, O. Bloomfield, O., Nov. 15 —Four busi ness blocks were burned to tire ground ttfdav, with a lose of <75,000. The lire is thought to have been of incendiary origin. Washington, Nov. 16.—The United States supreme oourt lias affirmed the judgment of the lower court and denied a writ of habeas corpus to John Ander- , sen. convicted and sentenced to be ‘ hanged after his trial in Norfolk, Va.. for the murder of the mate of the Olive Pecker. The Andersen oase has attracted widespread attention, be'ug a sea tragedy of singular romance and atro city. The schooner Olive Pecker sailed from Boston, laden with lumber, for a ' point on the Platte river, Brazil. When | 150 miles off the coast of Brazil, An dersen, a Swede, had an altercation ' with the captain. When the latter re tired to the cabin, Andersen followed and shot the captain dead. He then armed himself heavily and went on j deck, where, mounted on the fore- ! castle, he terroiized all on board. The mate, who was aloft, was called down, and while pleading for his life, was shot four times. Then the crew ivere ordered to throw the dying mate over board, and on protesting that he was | not dead, were assured that he was I “dead enough.” This done, the crew were marched below at the point of a pistol and oidered to throw the captain overboard. Then Andersen directed that oil be thrown over the lumber, after which the oil-soaked ship was set I afire and the murderous crew took to the boats. Andersen was apprehended at Bahia, I Brazil, and sent north on the United ; States gunboat Lancaster. He was tried and convicted in the United States court at Norfolk, Va., and a stubborn fight was made up to the su preme court, the conviction being con firmed. The last move was in the present application for a wiit of habeas | corpus on the ground that Andersen’s : constitutional rights were invaded when j the lower court assigned him counsel | instead of giving him his own choice. Chief Justice Fuller, in announcing I the court’s decision, said the records of the case showed that no fundamental I right had been denied Andersen, but ( that he had been represented from first i to last by able counsel. The time when counsel was not present was at a pre- | liminary hearing of Andersen, but this was not used in the subsequent trial, j The decision of the lower court was | affirmed. The effect of this will be to j have the execution, which had been | stayed until December 9 next, carried out. — DIED I Archbishop IN HIS Gross PRIME. Receives the Last Summons* j | i Baltimore, Md., Nov. 16.—Arch bishop Gross’ death at St. Joseph’s hospital today was not wholly unex- pected, but it was thought he might live several days longer. His condition had improved some days ago, but early yesterday morning he began to sink and grew worse rapidly. Death resulted at 8:15 A. M. from valvular fieart disease. Archbishop Gross came East to at tend the convention of archbishops held in Washington, but was taken sick in Baltimore, amt went to St. Chai les’ col lege. where he conducted a retreat, afterwards going to Annapolis for a short stay. He (was brought from there to Baltimore byjiis b oth -r, and taken at once to St. Joseph’s Hospital. The body will be removed to the home of his cousin, Mrs. Catherine R. Rey nolds, 207 East North avenue. The arrangements of the funeral have not been completed, but it has been decided to bury him from the cathedral at 9:30 o’ lo k Thursday morning, a brief service being held first at the house. Cardinal Gibbons will conduct a high mass of requiem at the cathedral. The seminarians of St. Mary’s semi nary will chant ’he office for the dead, and will attend the funeral in a body. Cardinal Gibbons regarded Archbish op Gross as a most able man, an earnest worker and a good friend. Speaking of him tonight, the cardinal eaid: "He was an untiring missionary, first in Georgia and then in Oregon, and lost hie strength by zealous work in behalf of Christianity; he was in domitable in the eeivice of God, and died from hard work. In his deatii the country loses a good man.” WILL SPAIN ACCEPT. Madrid Officials Believe That She Must — Power« May Be Appealed To. Paris, Nov. 16.—A dispatch to the Temps from Madrid save the officials there do not believe the peace negotia tions will be broken off. It adds: “If the United States persists in its present claims, Spain will accept the conditions, after formally announcing at a session of the commission, and in a circular to the jmwers, that she yields to force, owing to the im[>ossibility of renewing the war without unobtainable assistance in defense of her rights.” Shell« for Manila. Norfolk, • Va., Nov. 16.—Twenty thousand six-pound shells will be shipped to the Mare island navy-yard Monday. Three freight cars will be required to convey the ammunition across the continent. Orders have been received at the yard to work night and day on the gunboat Princeton in order that she mav as soon as possible join the squadron which is to assemble in Hampton Roads.

NICARAGUA CANAL. Philippines Washington, Nov. 15. — The cabinet held a session tonight at which instruc tions, understood to be of a positive character, bearing on the Philippine quesiion, were drafted for dispatch to the American commissioners in Paris. These instructions were ttie outcome of the conference held earlier in the day, and instruct the American representa tives to admit of no further discussion I as to the right to consider the disposi i tion of the islands, and state that on that point the instructions already sent must stand, the only matters for dis , cussion from the American point of view being the manner of giving over the islands. Ttie attitude of the insurgents in the Philippines baa given the administra I tion considerable uneasiness, for it is j feared that if the insurgents are allowed j to continue their hostile activity, there I mav be protests which we shall be compelled to regard. j The cabinet meeting lasted until | nearly 1 o’clock.

Washington. Nov, 12.—The report of Major-General Miles, commanding the United States army, was made public today by direction of Secretary Alger. The keynote of the report is found in one of the opening sentences, where it is said: “The military operations during the year have been extraor- dinary, unusual and extensive,” a statement which is fully brought out by the long recital of important events which General Miles shows have made the military history of the year 1898 the most remarkable since the end of the civil war. In point of interest, the document divides naturally into four chapters, for, while brief allusion is made to such matters as the military expedi- tions to Alaska, interest naturally cen- ters in the portion which treats of the war with Spain. Under this general head the report deals with the plans of campaign, with the war pieparations, with Santiago campaign, with General Miles’ operations in Porto Rico, and, LOOTED THE TERESA. lastly, with the important changes in existing organizations which are, in Native« of Cat Island Plundered the General Miles’ opinion, necessary to Stranded Cruiser make the army an effective weapon for Washington, Nov. 15.--The official the defense of the country.

A Great Th ini; for the Pacific Coast— Would Be a Powerful Aid in Western Development. • -------- The Nicaragua canal is a rubjeot very much discussed just at thia time on the Pacifio coast. From statistics carefully gleaned by the most authentic authorities, it is shown that from the different nations of the world and the islands of tho sea there would pass through the canal a possible annual traffic of 14,000,006 tone, a probable traffic of 10,000,000 tons, or a certain traffic of 8,000.000 tons, on which, if a toll of <2.50 a ton | was imposed, an annual revenue of <20,000,000 would lie obtained, or over <19 ,000,000 over and above operating expenses. A saving of <2.50 per ton on wheat would amount to, Bay, 7 cents per bushol, ami on lumber to <5 per 1.000 feet. A careful examination made by the Maritime Canal Compuny show that a possible one-half of the 8.000,000 tons traffic, which is claimed will pass through the canal, is Ameri can commerce, either coastwise or ex ports and imports. It seems to be fully determined that if the canal is built at all it must be built and operated as the property of the United States govern ment—built with the people’s money. It should be open and free ami witiiout tonnage charge to all American com merce, coastwise, exports and imports; and to compensate ourselves for our outlay we should lay a toll of at least (3 per ton on all traffic passing through between foreign nations. It is estimated that it will require not to ecxeed <100,000,000 to con struct the canal, although it is claimed, I in a recent statement made by Lyman E. Cooley, a celebruted engineer of this country, that, by reason <4 certain dis coveries on the part of the commission, sent by President McKinley to investi gate the feasibility of the project, u'e cost of the canal will be reduced much below the figure of <100,000,000, on account of favorable dredging in the lower end of Lake Nicaragua, non-exist ence of rock in the San Juan river to Toro RapidB, good foundation for im mense dam at Ochoa, favorable cond,- tions for embankments at San Fran cisco basin, ami a new site for a dam at Tambro Granada. The farmere of California, Washing ton, Oregon and Idaho, now further from the world’s markets than any other agriculturists, would not only be placed as near Liverpool as their com petitors in India, Chile and the Argen tine, but they would also have an ad vantage over tlwir competitors of <3 per ton, or 6 oents a bushel; for the wheat ftotn India must bear ('j per ton toll at the Suez canal, and we would have the Pacific South American states pay <2 per ton on the Nicaragua canal. Then, too, our Atlantic and Gulf ports would have this <2 per ton ad vantage over all their British and European rivals in the great markets of Japan, Korea, Australia and the Pacific islands, as their rivals would be compelled to pay the (2 per ton toll, whether they went to market via the Suez canal or the Nicaragua canal. Still Short of Water. The drought in California this year has not yet been relieved by fall rains, and on November 1 the South Yuba Water Company served notice on all the mines which are operated by its power that no more water could be fur nished until after the rainy season had fully set in. as the company could not couut on more than enough to fill their contiact to furnish Nevada City and Grass Vallley with water for mu nicipal purposes. This will hang up nearly a thousand stam|>s in the dis trict Rud of tho Salmon Season. The salmon packing season is at an eud, there being no more vessels due to arrive from the north, and according to the best authorities, says the San Fran cisco Call, all the canneries on the coast me 1,000,000 cases, or about 83 per cent short of the 1897 pack. The Alaska Packers* Association is some 48,000 CHBes short, or less than 6 per oent of last year’s pack. About 19,000 barrel« of salt salmon were shipped from Alaska during the season of 1898.
