The situation in Cuba does not
lppear to have materially changed
within the last few weeks. At any
rate we have no reliable informa-
tion that any important military
engagements have taken place, OF
that any substantial gain of territory
has been made by either party to
The contest. The great majority oi
the newspapers of this country con
Iinus to express warm sympathy
with the insurgent cause, and many
advocate immediate recognition Of
The insurgents as belligerents by ouI
government. 1t is generally believed
that the Cuban question in some
form will come up in congress as
loon as that body meets. 1t has
been rumored that President Cleve-
land contemplated sending a com
missioner to the island to investigate
and report upon the state of affairs
there.

Armistice Does not Mean I'M
mediate Peace.
II HUNG CHANGES CONDITION
OPP m,ts Seem To iseleve THAT Japan
WI \ Abate One If Ger
Macy Demands.

Washington March 30.-Secretary
Gresham has received confirmation OF
the declaration of an unconditional ar
mistice by the emperor of Japan. 1t is
not understood here that this is I'm any
sense equivalent to declaration of
peace, but it is believed that there is
not likely to be a resumption of HOSTILE
ties. The negotiations may continue for
a long time before peace treaty is sign
ed, and it is quite certain that Japan
will abate none Of her demands on ac-
count of the armistice. In fact, the
granting of the latter is looked upon as
a shrewd move by the Japanese emper-
or to diminish the harmful effect of the
attack upon Ii Hung Chang. If the
war were prosecuted now, IT would have
the effect to force the peace negotiations
to a speedy CONCLUSION, and it is realized
by the Japanese that in the present
state of feeling caused by the attack.
they could scarcely insist upon as good
terms of peace as can be realized after
the lapse Of few weeks. when the first
impression will have worn Off 1t is not
ed here with interest that the terms of
the armistice do not apply to the lower
coast of China, and particularly to For
mosa and the Fisher islands. This is
taken to mean that the Japanese have
determined to occupy Formosa before
the peace negotiations are completed.

ESTABLISH A SPINNING STATION.
Garfield Farmers Decide That a Cream
cry Is Not Feasible.

Garfield, March 31.-A meeting was held
in the lobby of the Merchants hotel yes
terday evening for the purpose OF consid-
ering what could be done towards start
ing a creamery here. After considerable
discussion a skimmng station was con-
sidered the best under the present cir
cumstances, and committee consisting
of c. A. Gwinn. c. e. whistler L. c.
Love. r. c. McCroskey. J. c. Lawrence,
A. p Johnson and r. c. Bellus was ap-
pointed to see how many cows could be
made tributary to a skimming station.
The talk ELECTED the fact that there has
been practically no increase in the num-
Der of mich cows during the past year,
although the growing stock contains
more blood of good milk breeds than the
cows now being MIXED.

ton obtanable is to the effect that in case
the call Is issued the president will, by
authority OF the law enacted during the
last session, appoint three delegates nee
essary to complete the commission on

Plouff was shot and mortally wounded by
d. j. McGaughey, young man formerly
employed by him as clerk, late this after

that McGaughey had searched the waste
basket in his office and attempted to
blackmail him by using letters which he
had found in it. McGaughey, it was
charged, had pasted the scraps together
and attempted to extort money from
Plouff by means of them. The two men
met on the street this afternoon. A quar-
rel arose and Plouff struck the young man
with his cane. McGaughey drew a re-
volver and fired five shots at his assail-
ant. two of them taking effect. Plouff can

FITTED OUT FOR PLACER DleelNes
Spokane Parties to Work Ground on
the Clearwater River.

Lewiston. April 1.-George Thrasher.
for a Spokane company, is fitting up an
outfit for mining on the Clearwater river
and has employed local rivermen to man
bateaux to transport his freight to the
upper river, 20 miles above the Little
North Fork. This company has located
an extensive and rich bar OF placer
ground. The dense growth of timber has
been an obstacle to the working of this
ground, but Mr.. Thrasher is accompanied
by men who have had experience in
handling heavy timbers on placer fields,
and there seems to be no doubt about the
profit to come from skilled work on this
claim.

ministered. from the effects of which he
died last May. His wife was convicted Of

in poisoning her father, and implicated
her aunt, Mrs. Ellen Leader. She said
she was willing to pay the penalty, and
the thought that her mother was suffer-
ing for a crime she had not committed
almost crazed her.

son of Robert Hill. of the firm Of Ellis
q Hill, grocers. was missed from home
yesterday about II O'Clock, and after con-
siderable search his body was found
floating in the South Palouse river. al
most directly in front of the house and
not 100 feet away. How he happened
to fall in is not known, and why he was
not noticed by some one of the many
persons i'm the Immediate vicinity is
considered almost a mystery. He had
been missed an hour or SO, and it is
thought he must have been in the water
three-quarters of an hour before dis
covered by his father. The most plaus-
ible conclusion is that he Was standing
on the steep bank above the house and
was blown off by the strong wind. At
tempts We're made to revive him, and
hope was not abandoned for two or
three hours after he was found. but all
in vain. Mr.. Hill just returned Sunday
from st. Paul, where he went a few
weeks ago with a consignment Of APP
pies.

A LARGE ARMY OF FILIBUsTERERs
Reports That Secret Movement Is on
Foot Against Cuba

Jacksonville, Fla, March 30.-It is re-
ported that a secret movement is on foot
to organize, equip and embark direct from
Jacksonville and Fernandina an army Of
1900 Cubans and negroes for service in
the instruction of Cuba. The movement
is reported to be managed by the Cuban
revolutionsts. The ground reported to
be taken by the managers is that as the
Spanish officials persistently deny that an
insurrection exists in Cuba, she cannot
make valid complaint at Washington
against a tilibustering expedition. The
United States can and will proceed
against fiilibustering only when Spain
gives formal notice that an insurrection
exists in Cuba.
