Dewet Intends Items of Interest From All of the State. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL HAPPENINGS A Brief Review of the Growth end Improve ments of the Many Industries Through out Our Thriving Commonwealth. Cherries are just coming to market around Enterprise, Wallowa county. A street fair promoter is in Eugene trying to work up a carnival there for September. There are five Ed Millers in Baker City, and each gets the mail of all the others, so it is said. Between hot weather and harvest the valley towns are almost deserted and business is very dull. It is estimated that 1,000,000 pounds of prunes will be dried in the ' icinity of Dallas this fall. A big piairie fire raged at Ella, in Morrow county, caused by small boys playing with matches. It burned several sections of bunchgrass. A submarine diver has been engag ed for about two months in placing blasts to blow up a reef outside the entrance to the Umpqua harbor. Rabbit killing is the leading sport now around Paisley, Lake county. The pests are thick and do damage, when able, in the grain and alfalfa fields. There is no apparent scarcity of harvest hands in the Weston neigh-1 borhood; neither is there a and those in search of work disappointed. W. H. Bruminond, of Connell, Grant county recently killed two coy otes with one rifle shot. One of the varimnts was standing 10 feet to one side of the one he aimed at. Grasshoppers are present in great numbers on both Birch creeks, above Pilot rock, in Umatilla county, and are doing considerable damage both to grain and gardens, th* latter par ticularly. Great activity is reported in the Galice mining district, 25 miles west of Grants Pass. Quartz mines are working steadily and placers are pre paring for the work of next season. More miners and prospectors are now at work than at any time for 15 years. Answer to Sheffer's General Fighting— Captured by Boere After Severe Philippine Situation. WASHINGTON. Aug. 12—The an nual report of Major-General Mac- Arthur, dated July 4, 1901, the day he relinquished command of the division of the Philippines, has been received at the War Department. The period covered by the report is from Oc tober 1, 1900, when the last report from General MacArthur was dated, He reviews the policy of the Fili- pinos that were hostile to the Ameri- cans, saying that their action since the practical collapse of the insur rection has been a perplexing prob lem. With the disbandment of the insurgent field armies, the Filipinos organized desperate resistance by banding the peoDle together in sup port of the guerrillas. This was car ried out by means of secret commit tees, who collected contributions, in flicted punishment« and carried on a considerable opposition to the Ameri- cans. General MacArthur reviews the manner in which operations were carried on against these guerrillas and sayB he hopes the policy adopted OBEYED BY 14,000. i BUSHED A BLOCKHOUSE. to Attack Cape Town. Loudon, Aug. 13.—A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, says: ‘‘A blockhouse near Bradfort, Orange River colony, was rushed and captured by the Boers, after severe fighting, the night of August 7. “Elliot has captured 70 prisoners and large quantities of stock and wagons, which he is sending in. No details have been received.’’ Mail dispatches from Lord Kitch ener issued today in a parliamentary paper, say his constant endeavor is to improve the fortifications along the lines of communications, thus re leasing men from active service. The garrisons off the railways have mostly been withdrawn. Lord Kitchener received certain in formation that Dewet intends to at tack Cape Town, while General Botha, as soon as he hears that the concen tration in Cape Colony is effected, is to enter Natal with 5,000 picked horsemen and make for Durban. I Colombian ASK INTERVENTION OF UNITED STATES Mr. Russell Will Represent Government of Co lombia During Trouble—The Iowa Will Be Sent to the Scene. Willemstad, Aug. 14.—The Colom bian legation left Caracas today. This Would Please Colombiana. Panama, Colombia, Aug. 14.—The editorial of the New York Herald urg ing the United States to end the con flict by taking sides with Colombia against Venezuela, has caused great enthusiasm here, and will make Americans very popular, as such a step would put an end to the state of anarchy existing. Russell's Good Office!. Be Substituted for the Wit. consin at Panama. Washington, Aug. 13.—The state department was without additional information today concerning the Venezuela-Colombia situation, or of the revolutionary outbreak on the Isthmus. These two troubles are dis tinct, one being on the west and the other on the east coast of Colombia. The Ranger, which has been ordered to get in readiness at San Diego, Cal., for a trip to Panama, is a small cruis er of 1,020 tons displacement, and has been engaged for some time past in survey work on the Pacific coast and in Central American waters. It is possible that her services at the seat of trouble will suffice and that a bat tle ship will not be needed to make the long trip from the north. The Ranger has a main battery of six four- inch rapid-fire guns and a secondary battery of four six-pounders and a Colt gun. She has a complement of 21 officers and 127 men. As the battleship Iowa has report ed her arrival at Bremerton, while the Winconsin has not yet been heard from, it is probable that the former may be substituted frtr the prospect ive trip to the Pacific side of the Isth mus, if it is decided to send a battle ship, although the formal announce ment of the change has not yet been made. A big natatorium has been finished at Baker City, with two large tanks, TRAFFIC 30x90 and 15x30 feet. Order- Pittsburg, Aug. 14.—The struggle Legation Withdraws for mastery between manufacturer# land men in the steel strike is now From Venezuela. IOWA MAY GO SOUTH. Will Probably Strike Sixty Thousand Men Now Out. Washington, Aug. 14.—The state department has authorized Mr. Rus sell, the American charge d’affairs at Caracas, Venezuela, to use his good offices for Colombia in case the Co- lombian minister at the Venezuelan Mr. capital leaves that country. Russell telegraphed last week, seek- ing information as to his epurse of action in case of the withdrawal of the Colombian minister, which ap parently was in contemplation at that time. The state department has no infornfation as to whether Mr. Russell is fulfilling this temporary duty. There have been no additional developments as to the situation on the Isthmus of Panama, where the trouble is far removed from that along the Venezuelan border. Consul General Gudger’s course in looking after the interests of Chinese along the Isthmus is not in pursuance of any specfic instructions from Wash ington, but follows a procedure estab lished 12 years ago in connection with points at which the Chinese were entirely without official repre sentation. The navy department has now de finitely determined to make use of the battleship Iowa instead of the Wis consin on the Pacific side of the Isthmus in case affairs become ser ious there. The Iowa is the flagship of the Pacific station, and as such flies the flag of Rear Admiral Silas Casey. At last reports received here the admiral was on board the Iowa, but it is hardly probable that he will proceed further south than San Francisco. The gunboat Machias has reached Norfolk, and wiil probably sail for Colon tomorrow morning. fairly launched, and on the first show of strength advantage is with the former. The general strike order issued by President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Association, has so far j been obeyed by only about 14,000 men, according to the best figures ob- j tainable here. The first two calls ' were answered by about 45,000 men, ! so that the total number now out is in the neighborhood of 60,000. The strikers made gain: here today over the showing of last night, and their prospects for further accessions at both McKeesport and Wheeling dur ing the week are very favorable. The action of the Amalgamated men at Chicago, Joilet and Bayview in re fusing to come out, and their failure to secure any recruits in the Carnegie group throughout the Kiskiminetas valley, and in the big plants at Youngstown and Columbus, O., have been marked by disappoitment to them. They are keeping up the fight, however in a spirited manner, and claim that they have strength in reserve which will surprise their op ponents. They assert that they have gained a foothold in the Carnegie mills in this city, and at the time de sired the men will come out. They are pressing their advantage at Mc Keesport and Wheeling and their or ganizers are still at work in those towns. President Shaffer has decided to visit Wheeling, and will address a mass meeting of his followers. He plans to spend tomorrow here direct ing the fight and conferring with his associates as to plans for the future. An appeal for financial aid has been made to organized labor and to the general public, and it is expected the responses to it will be liberal. CHINESE ON THE ISTHMUS. United States Consul Gudger Will Protect Them. Colon, Colombia, via Galveston, Aug 13.—United States Consul Gen eral Hezekiah A. Gudger has publicly notified the Chinese that they are en titled to the protection of the United States consulate.
