BATTLE FOUGHT IN ECUADOR
About 100 Killed and Wounded
Gen. Caceres Elevated to the Presl.
dency.

Tho Ecuadorian consul at Panama has re-
ceived cable message from the President Of
the republic, of which the following is a
translation

[Signed,l PRESIDENT,
The elections have terminated Gen.
Caceres is President OF the republic Riots
and murders have marked the election week
in some OF the provinces, AT Lambayeque
the scenes enacted We're particularly tragic.
The sub-prefect, Maj Dario Henriques, a
very gallant young officer, who had fought
well under Caceres, was wounded while at
tempting to maintain order. He sought refuge
in private dwelling, but was pursued by the
crowd The house was broken open, sacked,
and the sub-prefect, discovered in his hiding
place, was barbarously assassinated, and his
body drawn through the streets by the
drunken crowd, who every moment outraged
the remains by Kidding them with bullets
and slashing the face with knives and
town, armed assistance was sent by the
authorities. The principal ringleaders
and murderers We're arrested and
placed at the disposition of the court and the
next morning the judge finding some Of his
relatives among the prisoners, ordered the
whole batch to be set at liberty.
The government, it is believed will
take steps to punish the perpetrators Of
these crimes. A dispatch received by the
/ government in Lima from the Peruvian
minister in Chill has created some excite
ment 1t is to the effect that Don Nicolas
de Pierola, ex-dictator of Peru, was
purchasing arms and ammunition in Chilli.
The organ of Senior Pierolas party, FL Paiz,
denies this, and that il the government is to
be menaced, it wlnot be by their party or

AMERICAN VESSEL SEIZED,
Alleged Breach Of the Fishery Laws OFT
Cape Breton.

The London Times has a long editorial on
the seizure of an American fishing vessel on
the Nova Scotian coast for violating the
fishing laws. 1t says: This brings into
further prominence the long standing dis
pute between the United States and this
country on the sea coast fisheries question"
n I'd after stating the contest adds: THE time
has now come Mt which some arrangement
ought to be made with more hope of finality.
The decision of the American senate that
Congress shall not provide any joint
commission TO consider and settle the
fisheries question is a matter of reasonable
regret. 1t shows temper on the part of the
Senate very different from that which Eng
land has invariably displayed. Our action
need not be affected by any uuwise language
which has been used in senatorial debate.
A dispatch from Ottawa, Ont, says: at
is reported that an American vessel has been
seized off Cape Breton for breach of the
fishery laws. She was in bay less than six
miles wide, and therefore at every point

OREGON INVESTI iATION.
Captain Cottier and Several Engi-
nccrs Give Testimony.

Captain Cottier of the Oregon testified be-
fore the board of trade He said that at the
time of the collision a steamers lights were
probably visible for a distance of six
miles. The night was frosty and
clear. The aurora which prevailed would
have rendered it difficult to sec the vessel
itself. The captain denied that the
crew and fremen ri he'd into the lifeboatl
ahead of the passengers. He tried to beach
the ship, and said that if the bulkhead had
been closed, he could have sailed into New
York. As it was, il would have been abso-
lutely impossible to save the vessel, even il
they had been able to set the sails, which they
could not do, because all the hands were en-
gagged in the work Of transferring the passen-
gers from the sinking ship.
