15C BALES OF HOPS SOLD.
Oregon Hop Growers Association
Reports Other Offers Under
Consideration 'Blue 'Mold.
The sale of 150 bales, price not stat
ed was reported yesterday by the offic
ers of the Oregon Hop Growers' Asso
ciation." Other offers 'are under con
sideration by the sales committee of the
organization.
The spread of tire blue mold among
baled hops has abated. H. L. Bents,
secretary 'of the Oregon Hop Growers
Association, yesterday said that the
mold was decreasing rather than in
creasing and the hope is entertained bj
all growers that the fungus grqwth
will speedily disappear entirely. At
any rate the mold is not increasing and
it is believed the change lc the coolc;
in weather conditions will tend to check
the further spread of the mold and th
consequent damage to the hops. Cool,
dry weather is conducive to the rapit
spread of the destructive agent. .
The board of directors of the hop
grower's association will convene in
called session in this city next Satur
day afternoon. It is understood that
only business of a routine nature will
come up for consideration.

PKOM E. P. MAHONY
THK CUBAN CAPTAIN WRITES TO A
SALES FRIESD
tor I ndpcBdfo- & Sad .
.. - Funeral.
(From Daily, March 21st.)
Many of the readers of the States
man will doubtless remember Captain
Edward P. Mahony. ot the Cuban
army, who visited in Salem during the,
winter of 1897 and 1898, having come
here in the interest of the Cuban cause.
Captain Mahony is now in Havana,
where he holds a responsible position
under the city government and is
prosperous. While in Salem the brave
young Cuban officer made many friends
and among one of his warmest admir
ers was Supt. Thomas W. Potter, of
the Chemawa Indian Training school
Captain Mahony spent several days at
the school, where he v lectured before
:he students onUhe Cuban war for in
dependence. Since his re.'irn to Cuba
a correspondence has been carried on
between the former Cuban officer and
Supt. Potter, and in the letters received
by the latter, many incidents of the
great jstruggle for liberation are told
by Captain Mahony, who took so
prominent a part in that war. One of
.hese letters, written on February 18th,
and wnich was received by Mr. Potter
a tew jdays ago, is given below, show
ing the sacrifices made by many Cubans
:or the liberation of their people, from
the yoke of Spain. The letter follows:
"Yesterday being an unusual day for
me, I! cannot but relate the -incident.
and perhaps it may be nterest:ng t-..
you. as it was surely one that brought
back to my memory one ot the sad
events experienced in the days of
Cuba's struggle for freedom.
"In the month of December, 1896, I
was in the province of Havana, and it
was almost impossible for the Cuban
Forces to keep from battle every day,
the Spanish columns being so numer
ous and our force having but a small
supply of ammunition. One morning
our guard halted three men on horse
back. They were trying to locate our
ramp, and they proved to be three real
patriots, a father and his two sons,
fully armed and ready to join their
Cuban comrades in the struggle that
has now finally ended. The father rode
before his two sons and. approaching
our commanding officer, , said: 'Sir,
here is myself and two of my boys.
We have come and placed ourselves at
your disposition to fight for, our coun
try.' Their names were Jose Nunez
(father), the sons Rafael, and Andre.
The same afternoon I left for Pinar
del Rio, and was back in three weeks
with messages for Gen. Castillo.
"Two mornings after my return we
were camped at the foot of a wooded
hill, twelve miles from Havana. At
8:30 I was busy writing, and the camp
was cooking breakfast. At this hour
wc heard the noise of animals coming
over this wooded hill, and in a few
moments 300 Spanish cavalry had
emerged, coming in double time
through our camp. They were sur
prised, as they never dreamed of our
presence until in our midst, and' all
our horses being loose, every man had
to grab for his. and in about four min
untes our force of 150, all told, was in
the saddle. The Spanish troops, in
stead of attempting to demoralize our
camp, fled from it and took immediate
position on a little hill a few hundred
yards away, which overlooked,, us and
dismounting on their good position
they fired one volley into our second
squadron and immediately three of onr
men fell the machete was our only
defense, as we bad no ammunition.
"I led the first scjuadron with the
machete, a few of my men having a
little revolver ammunition with which
we killed three of their horses and
wounded one -soldier, and the enemy
retreated. The captain of the second
squadron reported the death of his
three men, and I . was grieved that poor
Jose Nunez and 3iis son Andre wefc
two of the victims. It' brought the
tears to my eyes to see the third of the
family, Rafael, weeping bitterly at the.
loss of his father and brother. A place
was selected and the graveswere made,
and they w-ere buried-side by side. The
father wore a plain gold ring, whicb
was not removed bv my instructions,
and I noted the affair in my diary.
Rafael said:
"'Edward, when Cuba is free, and
you stilj live, we will exhume father
and brother, and bury1 them in the
cemetery at Managua.'
" 'Yes,' I said, 'that is why I would
not let you take that ring. Should we
live we will have no trouble in the
identification.'
"A few weeks later I went to Pinar
del Rio again, and later to the United
States. On my return, after the Maine
explosion. I was only a few days in
Gen. Rodriguez camp when I was sur
prised to see Rafael a captain, in charge
oi- my old squadron. After exchang
ing compliments as to my safe return,
etc., he said:
" 'Do you remember the morning
father and brother were killed and the
evening we laid them to rest?
"Peace came, and the war cloud
floated by. I came into Havana and
Rafael was made a Rural Guard officer,
out at the town of Gaines- I went oc
casionally to Gaines, and Rafael and I
became close friends and corresponded.
Last week he wrote me. saying that on
Feb. 10th he was going to exhume h:s
father and brother, and do as he told
me at the time of their death, but this
aid would not be done without my
rn-MMiee. I told him to . open the?
graves on thi 10th, place a guard of
honor there during the night, and that
I would be there Sunday at 9:30 and
help take the remains to the cemetery;.
