free men. They are General Antonio
Ezeta, Generel Leon Balao Bilanos, and
Captain Major FiorencIo Bustamente.
The fourth, Colonel Cienfuegos, will be
sent back to San Salvador to answer for
the crimes charged Against bim. Such is
the purport of the decision rendered by
United States District Judge Morrow
today. His decision Is a long one and
occupied more than an hour IN delivery
The court, after reciting the form of gov
ernment of San Salvador, the home of the
refugees, went into the history of the
Ezeta administration. which began in
March, 1891. Pcior to that time, Carlos
Ezeta had headed a revolution against
the existing government, In which the
president was slain. The court then re-
ferred to the revolution of this year,
which began April 80, and ended in the
downfall of the Ezeta government, and
the incidents connected with the flight of
refugees. The fugitives had been de-
tanned on board the Bennington, owing to
a demand for extradition. as soon as they

Gen. Virney was born in Maine 10 1925.
When the rebellion broke out he was APP

turned home, where he spent several years
in business pursuits, leaving the state in
1877 to engage in the sheep business in
oregon with his brother-in-law, Thos. s.
Lang of this city. In 1882 he sold out his
Aocks and moved to The Dalles where he re-
sided continuously for ten years, leaving
here IN 1891 for Oakland Oregon, where he
became member. in charge of the Cheno-

Although he had almost reached the mark
of three score years and ten. his manner of
life had been go temperate and correct that

A chapter of accidents.

Hood River furnishes a good list of &C
ciden's during the week, as the following
from the Glacier will show:
Mr.. Scales, teamster for the Oregon Lum-
ber company, while hauling heavy logs 10
the mountains, one day last week, met with
an accident that might have been serious.
The coupling pole of the wagon broke and
let the front wheels slip out from under the
load. The logs spread and pitched to the
ground in front, throwing the teamster
down among the logs, knocking out several
font teeth and bruising him considerably.
Samuel Winans, while alone and at work
on his cabin near the head of Dead Point
creek, met with painful accident. BE
was on la1der fixing the gable end of his
house, when the ladder gave way precipitat-
ing hin. to the ground. His right arm
was brok en- at the wrist, and he received a
bruise on his temple tnat caused swelling
as large as hens egg. He was brought
into town Thursday night and is now stop
ping at E. w. Winans, where ne is under
the declor's care.
Miss Madge Warren, while helping to
wash the windows Of the school room in
district 2, Thursday, pushed her hand
tn, eugh pane Of glass and received severe

Fire at the Albina terminal grounds yes.
terdaY destroyed the Pacific coast wheat
elevator, warehouse and contents, the rail.
road coal-bunkers and contents, a vast
stretch of wharves, 60 or more freight cars
and wheat contents, number of cars con-
tanning part of the great plant of the
Portland General Electric Company, about
four miles of railroad trackage, and the
river steamer willamette Chiet. The con-
hagration consumed In round numbers ST.
600, 600 worth of property, though it is not
possible at this time to give accurate esti-
mates. 1t was pretty fully covered by in
surance. The fire department could do
little or nothing to stay the progress of the
flames, and they completely devoured every
thing in their path, and subsidized only from
lack of material. It is supposed that three
lives of workmen at the elevator were lost.
The origin of the conAlgratiou is not def
nitelY known. The disaster was altogether
the most serious that has visited Portland
since the great fire of 1S72s>
The fire was discovered at 4:3Q o'clock
in the afternoon IN the Oregon Railway &
Navigation Company's coal bunkers on the
Albina Water front. 1t quickly consumed
the structure and its contents, and spread
south along the river, and in less than two
hours had destroyed three-quarters of
mile of water front docks and warehouses,
including the great Pacific Coast elevator
and the large Terminal Company warehouse.
Iu addition to the buildings, tracks. trestles,
docks and freight cars were destroyed. This
with freight stored for shipment IN the
warehouses, grain in the elevator, coal in
the bunkers, and part of an immense plant
for the Portland General Elec trio Com
pany standing on cars in he yard, was to-
tally destroyed. and the loss aggregates
an immense sum of money, impossible at
this time to estimate accurately. Although
largely covered by insurance. the loss is
the heaviest sustained in Portland for
years.
There is at this time also supposed to
have been loss of life. Three men named
Andersen. Murray and Brown. workmen
at the elevator, were seen on the roof early
in the fire; they were not seen afterwards,
and are thought to have perlshed.
The property destroyed was constructed
almost entirely of wood, and was built on
piling over the water. The river flows al
most north at that point, ami the fire
started at the most northern point Of the
burnt district. A striff breeze was blowing
from the east at the time, and famed the
flames with great forcs in their progress to
the south. The flames were s1sked under

Effects of the War.


SAN Francisco, Sept 21-The effect of
the Corean war is already being felt by
the people of Japan A large number OF
the japanese attending private and pub
lie schools in this City have received
letters from their parents bewaiing the
present state of financial and commercial
stringency. Business is practically ct
standstilI. The Chinese are effected In
like manner, and one large firm which
dealt extensively IN sea weed, one variety
of which is used for food in the Orient,
has already suspended. The commercls
relations between the hostile countries
are for the time being cut off, and as
there is at present httie prospects of q
settlement, the situation Is not likely to
change 10 the immediate future. The
letters which have been received by the
local students state that the trades people
are in sore need OF money. There is no
suggestion of actual want, but from the
tenor of the epis'les there is every symp-
tom of the effect of the war being appar"
ent On all sides. Ia some cases appeals
have been made for money. As soon as
the true scope of the war became known
here a large number OF Japanpse residing
il, ,his country, who we're members of the
japanese arm55, and were here simply on
a furlough, mustered together and left
FOR their native land. 1t is said that
should the japanese government call for
volunteers every one'of its subjects re

answer the call and return to his home.
Already subscriptions have been started
in the local colony aud over $4,000 COLI
!ected. This sum was forwarded to the
japanese government for the support of
the hospitals for the wounded and disc
