LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Demanded by the Spanish Gov
ernment for Sanguilly.
DEFENDANT AMERICAN CITIZEN
1t is Said That He is Bad Man and
No Circumstance to Mitigate the
Demanded Sentence.

Havana Oct. 16.-In the trial of Gener-
al Julio SangpfEy, an American citizen
on the charge of rebellion against the
Spanish government, Attorney General
Senior Enjulio, in concluding his argu-
ment today, asked THAT a sentence of i'm
prisonlment for iLfie be imposed upon the
prisoner. Senior Enjulio male the follow
ing conclusion:
"Juifo Sangui.ry, an American citizen
since 1890, rs "a born resident of this is
land, and was before his arrest on Feb
ruary 24tIh, of this year, one of the most
energetic rlngleaders and instigators of
the revolution; THAT since said date he
has broken out against his mother coun-
try with the aim of obtaining the inde-
pendence of Cuba He was chosen to
take THE lead in this province and, those
Of Matanzas and Santa Clara, and was
ramed as chief leader and delegate of the
revolutionary junta Of New York.
There are no circumstances pending
tc mitigate the punishment, which me
has justly incurred, and which demand
the court to inhlct upon him, namely,
Imprisonment for life."
The defense of the prisoner is nct
known. Julio SanguAly, 1t is claimed,
has a very bad record and it has been
reported that the Cubans have threatened
to assastsinate him If he was released
from custody.

NEW DEAL FOR UNION PACIFIC.
Reorganization Said to Be Practically
Ready to Close Up.

New York, Oct. 16.-Concerning the ru-
nors of coming Union Pacific reorgani-
zaltion, 1t is said on good authority that
conferences have been carried on amcng
large first mortgage and other interests
Cooking toward reorganization of the
main line, including the Kansas Pacific,
and that a plan is about ready to be
brought out under the auspices of an ex-
ceptionaily strong and experienced COM
m1ttee and a prominent banking firm.
1t is said to be simple and to have GER
tain features sure to bring in the support
of the first mortgage bondhocders gener-
ally. Chicago and Northwestern and
Missouri Pacific interests are believed to
predominhte in the proposed organization.
Northwestern has IAN exclusive traffic
agreement which gives it strong interest
in 1.-THE Union Pacific while Missouri Pa
cific has u close working connection.
The pian is understood to deal with
the malln lines only, and may he found
ito Contemplate the operation of ,the
Northern line by the Northwestern, and
the Kansas Pacific division by the Mis-
souri, Pacific, leaving the small branches
to be reorganized and absorbed on their
merits hereafter.

Johnson commonly required three OF
four months for the colmposltion OF a

EXPENDITURES FOR CYCLES.

The people Of no other country part
so freely with their money for recrea-
tion and sport as do Americans. Millions
Of dollars went into the roller.skatlng
craze q few years ago, and now the
more substantial and apparently per-
manent bicycle furore Is the leading chan
mel for the flow Of the great American
dollar. A Boston paper has figured,
from reliable reports, that 10000 bicycles
have been marketed in the last season.
Another estimate brought the figures up
to $4,000 machines sold. Assuming the
lower figure to be correct, over sS5,0O0,-
900 has gone for the purchase or machines
alone during 1895. In addition to thds
original outlay overy bicycle has expend-
ed from $40 to $50 on q costume and ma
chine outfit, easily bringing the figures
up to $5O,0O0,o00 for putting our wheelmen
on the road ready for a run. No more
interesting study could be made than to
follow this tremendous sum Of money
from the purchaser through the various
channels OF disbursement In the labor
world. How many people have found en-
ployment through It? How many have
grown rich? How many factories have
been changed from idleness to busy
times? Another element for speculative
thought Is, how many Of these 100000
new wheelmen meant to the roadside
tavernkeeper. The runs" always END
at q wheelmen's headquarters and in the
aggregate have brought thousands Of dol
lars to the country hotelkeeper. Nhtur-
ally, ne wants their trade and has thus
become a strong ally OF the good roads
movement. So, too, have the wheelmen.
and here again has come a heavy In
vestment OF money, due largely to the
agitation of the wheelmen. More miles
Of good roads have been built in the
last year than at any other period,
imagine. in the history OF the country.
New York city alone has Just appropriate
ed 100000 for a macadamized bicycle
path from home to office," extending
the length Of the city without break,
and a million and half IL to be spent
there this year In macadsmlzing streets
in various neighborhoods. This Is not
done entirely for the cycllst, but their
demand for II has been the deciding fac
tor in moving the officials to make the
change. Through all the states the good
roads demand. so long ignored, has be-
come one OF immediate concern by reason
Of the stand taken by the wheelmen. It
has only to be kept UP to have our coun-
try roads q source OF pleasure and
pride instead Of a disgrace. L.

It's massacre. and in IT'S its immortal

tlon and played most important part.
In 1872, like Chicago, It had Its great
fire, and now It is talking Of emnlating
Chicago in another way by making a
greater Boston.
As young Chicago. now in her nifty
eighth year. contempiates Boston on her
two hundred and slxty-hfth year, the
Hub appears venerable indeed. AS she
reflects upon the fact that In these fifty
eight years she has gathered within her
limits more than three times as many
people as Botson has In the 265 years, or
twice as many counting her annexed
suburts. she wonders what she will be
when she. too, gets to the Hub City's
venerable age. Perhaps long before that
time the ancient dame on Boston Bay
will be so infirm she will need the helping
hand from stalwart Chicago. whose
strength will Increase with her years.
Notwithstanding the burden Of years,
however. Boston Is stiil hale and vigorous
and can walk without cane. Chicago
congratulates her with all the enthusiasm
OF youth and with proper respect for age.

FOR THE BATTLE SHIP.
The Press and Teachers of the Interior
WITH Assist.

Judge J. H. D. Gray who has just re-
turned frAJm The DaILes where he went
to confer with the school teachers and
newspapers in regard to the testimonial
for the battlesIhip Oregon, says THAT the
people there do mot thoroughly under
land the intentions Of the committee,
.ut mad the idea THAT the question was
a Vocal matter of special benefit to As
tor1a and Portland. They were informed
however THAT this was not The case, but
dhat the entire state is interested and
..lat aft sections should participate, as
has been done in other states. in similar
cf9es; that San F'hNnciseo contributed
$4,000 for a silver service for the cruiser
named for THAT city, the city of Charles
ton presented 5000 for a few pieces for
THE Charleston; New York City raised
$4,000 for the cruiser New York; BalEi-
more and Minneapolis presented hand
some testimonials to the cruisers named
or those cities. Tlae stNtss for which
battleships have been named, from the
best information obta1Iable, are preparing
handsome gifts to be presented when the
vessels are commissioned. As the battle
Ships VIII probably be 1agships of diff
erent fleets, their testimonials should be
proportionaeeiy in keeping with their
dignity. Oregon must not be behind ahe
others but should make a splendid SHOW
ing in keeping with the resources and i'm
portance of the stale.
nne rlan OF f1slng the money through
the efforts Of the Children of the public
schools of Oregon IS for the purpose of
imrreising the Importance OF the navy
upon Them and getting them interested in
navlC matters so that I'm future they with
pay attention to the great question of
d6fenzes for the country. The commit
tee could have raised the money more
easily Through the boards OF trade of
cities, CT the legislature, but the method
adopted was considered to be the bsst
one for the rising generation, and be a
means OF in1tIling patriotism in their
hearts.
The members Of the press do not seem
to have grasped the idea OF the COM
mlttee, Or the bibjects sought TO be
atiallned but II fs 1hoped by the commit
tee, Judge Gray Gays, that they wifi do
so and render efficient aid to the efforts
Of the committee and school teachers.
The papers and the teachers ali the
Dales have now pledged their hearty sup
port. CJatsop county, though not FUZZY
organized. has already with little effort
