Victorious Rebels

New YORK, Aug. 3o-A special cable
from Curacao, w. l., says: "Maracaibo on
the northwest, like Puerto Cabello on the
north, and Cuidad Bolivar on the Orinocc
river, has fallen into the hands of the Venez-
uelan rebels. This exciting news reached
here to night from Caracas, and with it came
the still more sensational announcement that
Luciano Mendoza has declared himself dicta-
tor of Venezuela, thus seeking to oust Gen.
eral Urdanta, who himself took command OF
the fleet which was dispatched to retake Pu-
erto Cabello. As soon as Urdanta's fleet had
sailed Mendoza announced himself as ruler,
and established new government over Ven
ezuela. As preliminary step to assuming
the dictatorship, he first had ex-President
Villegas thrown into prison, and then issued
a decree expelling him from the country.
Residents of Caracas are said to be thor
oughly frightened by the situation. The city
is almost in condition of anarchy. The
situation fills the foreign residents with alarm,
and the legation houses of foreign ministers
are being besieged by foreigners who insist
that their governments shall send warships to
Venezuelan waters to protect their interests.
Ministers resident in Caracas have cabled
their governments, asking further protection.
1t is expected that General Crespo will shortly
make his attack on the capital.''

Tuesday. August so, 1899:
EASTERN OREGON.
Weather-WIth the exception of a very
light shower of rain in the northern por-
tion of Umatilla county on Wednesday
last there has been no rainfall in this sec
tion. The temperature has been about
ranging from Al to So degrees. Of sun
shine there was plenty during the week
In short, the weather has been very propi-
tlous to farm operations and no lmmedi :
ate nor decided change in the present
conditions is desired by the farmers of
Eastern Oregon. This year is said to be
the TEST in a long time for burning of
slashed lands, which is being vigorously
pushed, and, as result, Il mantle OF dense
smoke now covers this whole section.
Crops-Thresning operations are now
In full blast IN most counties. In Grant
county the prospects for wheat are SAID
to be good, while in Baker county wheat
is turning out from 20 to 45 bushels per
acre. The general tone of the reports con-
cerning the wheat crop is more cheerful.
What little hay yet remains to be cut is
being harvested with great activity, the
weather being exceptionally fine. Very
little change is noted in the condition of
fruit as compared with last week. In
some counties it is said to be looking
well. Corn could yet be improved SOM
by timely rain; but not SO with pota-
toes which are fast drying up.

were hauling lumber, watched his course,

Editor TMEs-M0UNTAISEER
Allow me to insert few lines in your
valuable paper to draw the attention of our
honorable city council to the grade leading
from The Dalles to Five mile, and known as
the new grace of the brewery hill. 1t
seems to be the home of tramps and disso-
lutte characters and makes it dangerous for
anyone residing above SAID grade, as the
well lighted streets are left behind, and the
bend in the grade hides the last electric
light and makes 1t doubly dark. Not long
ago, man was robbed on the grade the
evening, while on his way home to Thomp-
sons addition. 1t necessarily compels every
one living above the bluff to 20 a great di :
tance around, for peaceable citizen to
avoid having trouble with these hoboes

SAuLr STE. MARIE. Mich, Sept. l.
The fish tug T H. B a. arrived in town
tonight, having as passenger Harry
Stewart, of Algenac, Mich, the wheel
man and only survivor of the mammoth
steel steamer Western ReserUe, which
foundered about 9 A. M. Tuesday, go
miles above White Fish point, while en-
route to Keewana. The Western Reserve
lett the 800" Tuesday, having on board
as passengers Captain Minch, the owner,
his wife. children and sis.er.in. law, he
side the regular crew of % hands. The
rest of the steamers history is short, snd
the fatality is best told in the words of
Stewart, the only survivor OF the terrible
disaster:
Everything went we'll until about go
miles above White Fish point, when the
first warning of impending danger was
terrible crash, caused by the huge craft
breaking it two. She took water fast and
the yawl boats were lowered. Captain
MInch, his family. the officers and the
crew to the number of II, got into the
wooden yawl and the Others took the
metallic one. The Reser0e sank in 10
Minutes, and before she was out of
sight the metallic yswl capsized. The
other boat succeeded In rescuing two
of the occupants and the 10 sur
yivors started for White Fish point, 60
miles away. A considerable sea blew up,
but the yaw weathered the breakers
all night and until Z O'Clock the next
morning. When about 10 miles from
life saving station No. 10, and about
mile from shore it capsIzed. Stewart
says he saw none of the occupants after
wards. The cries of the children, the
screams of the women and the moaning
of the men WAS terrible for few mo-
ments. Stewart struck for the shore, and
after two hours In the water landed
about 10 miles above the station He
had 20 walk there before reaching anyone
who was able to render him any assis
tance. A search failed to find trace of
anv other survivor of the wreck ana
there seems to be no question that all
were drowned,
