.THE MINISTRY RESIGNS
Rosebury's Government Has
Been Defeated.
A HENIOUS CRIME
A Lane County School Teacher Ar
rested for Incest, He May be
Guilty Of Murder.
The Government Carefully Watching Ex- |
peditions to Cuba-Resignaticn OF
the Duke of Cambridge
Found Guilty.

LONDON, June 22.-It is a require.
ment of official etiquette that upon
resigning, a ministry shall give nc
hint of such intention until ii has first
been announced to the queen and to
the house of commons; but there is
practically no doubt that the Rosebery
government, after cabinet council
of five hours, determined TO resign,
and that Lord Rosebery, who had al
ready been commanded to dinner at
Windsor. will use the occasion to sur
render his office. 1t is also the custom
for the prime minister to recommend
to her majesty his successor. Lord
Rosebery may name Lord Salisbury.
Mr.. Balfour or Duke of Devonshire.
1t is etiquette for the queen to send
first for the persons named. If it is
Lord Salisbury, he may decline and
suggest Mr.. Balfour or the Duke of
Devonshire, or vice versa. In any
case it seems to be the general impress
sion that even the conservative party
will not again risk poor premier,
and that Mr.. Balfour will be chosen.
But any one of the three or any other
conservative may decline. Then Lord
Rosebery will retain Office and be in a
stronger position than before. He has
been defeated and offered the opposl-
tion control of the government: they
declined, therefore, they confess that
he has the real majority as represen-
ting the effective lower house.
If a conservative loaded accepts,
there is no real doubt that he will find
a majority, even if small, against him.
He cannot dissolve parliament until
the supplies have been voted, and a
liberal majority can prolong the ses-
sion for months.
Soon after the council broke up for
lunch at 1:30 Postmaster-Genera Ar
mold Morley and Campbell-Bannerman
were summoned to confer with Lord
Rosebery. This started the rumors
that the ministers will finally decide
to resign and cast upon the opposition
the responsibility of the government,
and make it select time for the dis
of parliament.
The cabinet finally rose at $40 P.
NJ, and Rosebery started for Windsor
to inform the queen of the decision of
the ministers. which will not be an
nounced until Monday.
1t is asserted the Irish members are
largely responsible for the present sit
lation as their action in compelling
he chancellor. of the exchequer to
'escind the vote for the erection of
statue to Oliver Cromwell seriously

Westminster Gazette says: 1.-The Irish
members are strongly opposed to dis
solution. They declare; If the gov
resign we have been be-
rayed. We must have the land bill.

| GAINESVILLE, Fla, June PA. r.
Anderson has just received the follow,
ing letter from Major Hanna, of the
sixth regiment, Cuban volunteers:
"MANATAI, Province Puerto Prin-
cipe, June live have just finished
very successful expedition against
the Spanish. Colonel Rodriguez re-
ceived orders from General Gomez on
the 14Jh to start from Manatai, where
battalion of Spanish soldiers were
stationed. So at a. NJ. of the 10Th we
started on our mission. Our march
was forced one, as we had to move
quickly to surprise tt Q enemy.
SAT midnight on the 10Th our scouts
reported Manatai mile to the front.
and, after two hours rest we received
the command, forward, march, and
our work commenced.
'Colonel Rodriguez detailed COM
panies A and B, and placing them
under my command, ordered me to
make detour and attack the enemy
from the north to draw their attention,
while he. with the main body of troops.
attacked from the rear. The attack
was started at 4 A. NJ. I commenced
my attack by driving in their pickets
and surprised them completely, for
they had not expected any insurgents
within miles of them. Their comman-
der Immediately formed them to re-
ceive US, but by this time my companies
had reached shelter, and were pouring
a deadly fire into their ranks from
Winchesters.
"Just then our main force came up.
and attacked them in the rear, senuing
disastrous fire among them, which
was repeated again and again until
the Spaniards, finding themselves be-
tween two fires, broke and fed after
firing one volley, some flinging away
their guns in their haste to escape.
Their commander was q brave man
and sought to stay them, striking
down one or two of them with his
sword. but it was in vain. So, finding
himself deserted by his men, he sur
rendered to Colonel Rodriguez. Our
men pursued the Spaniards and sue
ceeding in taking 250 prisoners.
Our loss is 81 killed and wounded,
and the Spanish loss is estimated at
139. We captured 5000 rounds of am.
munition and 400 rifles. Our dis
tinguished prisoner reports himself as
Colonel Sanchez, and his command as
the ninth battalion of Spain. From
one of the prisoners I learned that
they have lost AS. men from yellow
fever. We are busy burying the dead
and caring for the wounded of both
sides. Ireceiyed slight scalp wound.
We start on our return trip tonight"

A London Contract.

LONDON, June 22.-The Pail Mall
Gazette says, referring to the efforts
being made to borrow money for
China:
"The hitch in the Chinese loan is
due to the fact that before the Russo
Chinese arrangement had been eff
fected contract for loan had been
signed with a large London bank,
which placed e1.000,000 at the immedi-
ate disposal of China. and the bank
was given the option of arranging the
loan which was to- follow. Russia
learned of these negotiations and
brought her influence to bear to undo
them. 1t is doubtful whether she will
succeed, as the contract cannot be set
aside with impunity, and it is the duty
of Great Britain to see the rights of
her citizens protected"

General Quesada's First Expedition Wig
orously Moving South.
NEW YORK, June 21.-The World
says General Quesada is moving Wig.
orously toward Cuba. His first ex-
pedition Of 250 men, chiefly enlisted in
Brooklyn, Jersey City, .Coney Island
and Perth Amboy, has gone in two
companies for the south. The main
body went by the Pennsylvania rail-
road to Norfork. Va, and from there
were ticketed to Tampa, Fla. These
points will be the temporary basis of
operations, until the recruits are con-
veyed to the place of final departure
and embark for Cuba.
The purpose of General Quesada' g
recent mission in the south is now
more fully revealed. Besides extend
ing the Cuban system Of raising troops
through the gulf states, General
Quesada made careful investigation of
the reported violation of the neutrality
laws. The result is scTeFrl petitions
destined for the Units, d.: govern
ment, protesting againgt the whole
sale usurpation of American rights in
side the three-mile shore limit.
The most formidable protest, it is
said, has been sent to the state depart
ment, and embodies l:.a facts con-
cerning the alleged illesel boarding
OF vessles and yachts on the Florida
coast.

BOARDED THE YACHT.
Revenue Men Closely Watching the
Southern Coast.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Informa-
tion from Brunswick, Ca, indicates
the vigor with which the federal
authorities are carrying out the proc
lamation of President'Clevelnad and
the instructions of Attorney-Gene
Harmon for the suppression of filibus-
ters. The United States revenue boat
Bo1t,re1, stationed at Brunswick,
recently saw what was regarded as
suspicious circumstances in the prepar-
alton for the departure of the yacht
Puzzle. A revenue officer went aboard
on the 10Th inst, whereupon the crew
jumped into boats and made their es-
cape. This confirmed the suspicious
of the officials, although it is not
known to what extent, if any, the
yacht was to be used in filibustering.
Private advices received in WASH
ington from Matanzas, Cuba, states
that large quantity of dynamite am
munition has been found on the shore.
1t is believed that it is part of the
cargo of filihustering expedition which
left the United States on the George W,

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, June 21.-
An effort is being made to take from
tribe of Indians called the Metla-
kahtlas. an island in Alaska, which in
1887 was ceded to them by the United
States government. The land is in
southeastern Alaska, and is known as
Annette island. The natives have
improved the land, erected public
buildings, churches, saw mills and
titled the SOIL. A few months ago
prospectors who were going up the
coast had occasion to land on the island
for few hours rest, and one OF them
discovered gold quartz ledge. The
men Immediately. staked out claims
and applied to the government for.
mineral patents. The Indians entered
a protest, which was fayorably con-
sidered by the department., and the
miners have since taken an appeal,
and if money and influence can over
rule the Indians, mining operation
will be commenced.

Brady Has Revenge.

COTTONWOOD, Cal, July 24.-Brady
or some of his friends, at o'clock
h is morning, burned barn filled
with hay belonging to George Martin,
the officer who shot Brady's eye out
last Wednesday. 1t is reported that
Brady has eluded the army of officers
who are hunting him in the brush
eight miles northwest of here, and has
come in this direction. Martin was
with a posse in the woods hunting
Brady when the fire occurred. Mar
tin, Houston and Bogard think it i'm
possible for Brady to have been in
Cottonwood last night, as they have a
hundred men guarding every point.
They think some of Brady's friends
burned the barn.

THE DALLEs, Ore, June %, '95.
Editor TIMgs-McuSTAIXEEk:
In your issue of today I find under
the heading OF "Wasco County Roads"
an article from the Moro Observer re-
gardlng an accident that befell Mr.. G.
W. Falrchild, of Grass Valley, some
weeks since at point near the juno
tlon OF the so-called Miller and free
bridge roads in this county. Now
while we have no desire to speak ad-
versely OF articles that are published
Tor the purpose OF awakening interest
In the improvement of any and all
roads, yet we do feel that when such
articles are published facts should be
stated that they might have some
weight for good, and not appear to the
public as mere attempts to throw ad-
verse reflections on those not deserv-
ing them. In the case in hand the
man who met with the mishap would
have given a truthful statement for
II requested to do so.
Now we do not deny that the point at
which the accident occurred was a mar
row curve in the road, as is the case at
many points on the roads Of Oregon.
child himself, it was no worse than It
had been for many years, and he had
been over the same ground many times.
We feel certain that a man of Mr..
Fairchild's Judgment and ability
would not have attempted passage at
the point in the road alluded to, had
he not felt competent to make the turn
with coupled team, as many others
have done before and since the acci-
dent, but the true cause of the over
turn OF Mr.. Fairchild's team, as stated
to US by himself, was the breaking of
an axletree of his leading wagon,
which hapdening just at the curve in
the road caused the upset into the
ditch, which instead of being go feet,
as stated by the Observer, was 10 to IL
feet deep, nor did the horses allow
themselves to be pulled off the road,
1T, and as to the demolished
wagons the cost of repairs was about
SIT, after which we saw the same
wagons with their load of wool on
their way to this city.
Now, Mr.. Editor, wish to say that
while we know of the accountability of
counties for damages, under certain
we have no anxiety
about any later results from this acci-
dent other than that the makers of the
wagon (which was new one) should,
in our opinion, make good to Mr.. Fair
child his loss in full.
Hoping this article will remove any
fear of accident from the minds of
hose whom the Obserper's article may
nave frightened into using other
'outes to and from this city and with
,ut any remarks as to the best route to
Southeastern Oregon, we shall en-
leavor, as we always have, to make
The routes through our district as safe
Ind smooth as circumstances will per-
nit. Respectfully Yours,

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.
The Chicago Herald on the Kimban In
struments.

struments.
Some little time before the Jury of
awards went into the music section of
the manufacturers building there was
considerable speculation as to who
would receive awards, and the tenor
the awards would take of the different
exhibits there. There were many ru-
mors ahoat. based upon the personal
inspection of the many instruments
there. Of course each interested per-
son in music matters took as sanguine
a view as he could concerning his own
favorite instrument, and accordingly
filled the atmosphere with prophecies.
1 noticed, however. as the time drew
near for the jury to make its investi-
cation, that many who had been san
guine of great things concerning their
favorites became possessed OF doubts,
for the reason that they had examined
other instruments in the exhibits of
the music section and found such ex-
cellence everywhere which they did
not expect to find. l remember one
day in particular, while lettering
around where the pianos and organs
were, one man, who is we'll known to
be up in music, coming from the Kim
ball exhibit, saying: 81 can't under
stand it at all. The pianos of this
firm here are of such wonderful tone
that believe either they did not make
them at all, or the Improvement they
have made in them has all been made
in the last twelve months" When
heard this remark thought that the
Kimban exhibit stood not only good
show to carry off something good, but
something that was worth having. l
knew this much, that the pianos and
organs they exhibited were taken from
their everyday stock and were the
average class of work they make. /
knew that the most famous artists in
the world of music had indorsed their
instruments a number OF years back
for their excellent qualities, and there
fore / knew that this mans favorite
was some other piano, and his remarks
conveyed to me the highest and abso-
lutely most impartial praise. As the
time drew near for the publicity Of the
awards, it seemed as If everyone felt
that the "Kimball" would be among
the "best mentioned. This feeling
seemed to pervade among all people
who were interested in music, and the
observation that struck me most OF all
vas, that it mattered little whether
hey were friends OF this instrument
or some other instrumental was all
the same feeling-the general senti-
ment seemed to be that, if the "Kim-
ball" received high award, the piano.

Vatican.
LONDON, June 21.-The Standard s
Rome correspondent, discussing the
attention which the vatican has paid
to Cardinal Gibbons, says:
The secret history of all this is
rather curious. Cardinal Gibbons is.a
power in America. This is not alto
gether pleasing in the highest quarters,
especially when coupled with the fact
that the American bishop shows great
spirit and independence.
The pope instituted the apostolic
delegation at Washington with view
to checking this independence. Car
dinal Gibbons came to voice the Amer
lean disapproval of this step. Meantime
the matter has been carefully studied.
The result is Satolli will be made
a cardinal. This, together with the
special attention shown Cardinal Glib
bons must need tend to convince him
that the presentation of the bishops
memorial would be both useless and
inopportune, so it is hoped that he
will carry it back to America.
These incidents have caused many
persons to think that the election of a
foreign pope is not improbable, and the
pope himself favors the idea.

THE PLOT OF EXILES.
Still Planning to Overthrow the Ha-
waiian Government.

SAN FRANCISCO, June PA morn.
ing paper says attempts are being
made to organize filibustering expedi-
tions in this city to go to Honolulu
and overthrow the government. Ex-
lies are said to be the prime movers in
the plot. Captain f. Lupp, of this
city, is said to have been approached
by man named Stewart recently and
asked if he would go to the islands as
master of q schooner carrying armed
men and cargo of guns. ammunition
and dynamite bombs. The terms of
fered Lupp were 5000 down and $1O,-
coo in case he should succeed in the
work required. He was also told to
find fit vessel, and report upon its
Lupp mas told.
As the story goes, Stewart said that
friends of the exile colony in this city
had put up big sum of money for the
filibustering scheme. and that an agent
had bought supplies of war material in
the east. The purchases, unlike those
which went to Hawaii to be used in
last years revolt, were of first class
arms and ammunition. The other time
money had been wasted in buying
light carbines and revolvers, which
were no match for the Winchesters
and Lee magazine rifles of the govern
men5 troops.
The present supplies, so Stewart
said, were of dynamite bombs, long
range repeating rifles of 45 caliber,
Colts army revolvers of the latest pat
tern, ana a battery of Hotchkiss and
Maxim guns, with rounds enough for
each piece to turn the paradise of the
Pacific into the inferno of the western
hemisphere. This costly freight had
been divided, and it was the purpose to
send half of it over the Northern Pa
cific to Seattle, and the other half on
the Santa Fe to San Diego, from which
latter port a second expedition was to
leave in schooner to be commanded
by man named Mcfarland.
When Charles T. Wilder, the con-
of Hawaii. was asked what
he knew about the matter he said he
did not wish to affirm or deny any
thing.

FEARED INDIAN TROUBLES.
Cheyennes Conditionally Threaten to Put
on War Paint.

BRIDGEPORT, Blaine county, Okla.
June 21.-The trouble at Arapahoe
arising out of the shooting Of Red
Lodge by Deputy Sheriff Burch is still
intense. Red Lodge is still alive, but
cannot live, and the Indians are
making threats to be carried out
when he dies. On the day OF the shoot
ing the Indians were much excited
and threatening, but were quieted by
troop A, Third cavalry, Captain Nc
Kin, which is in camp near town. The
Indians sent couriers to Fort Reno and
to the Kiowa reservation. If the
whites can identify Red Lodge as the
man who assaulted Mrs. Hays they
will hang him. John Hansel, an edu-
Gated Cheyenne Indian, said: II fear
my people will rise against the white
men. The whites have imposed upon
them beyond endurance. I saw old
Red Lodge at Watonga. He said it
his son died the Indian warriors would
go on the war path and wipe out the
people of Arapahoe."
Asked how many warriers the
Cheyennes had he said from 300 to 400.
He said they were getting NO help
from the Arapahoes, but would from
the Kiowas.

The Duke of cambrldge,s Resignation.

LONDON, June 22.-The true story of
the determination" of the Duke of
Cambridge to resign his place as com
mander-in-chief of the army, an
nounced yesterday by the secretary of
the state for war, Mr.. Campbell Ban
herman, throws new light upon the
subject. There has long been strong
agitation against the duke, and the
government, it appears, acting on the
principle of expediency. caused it to
be known that it would materially as
sist the government if the duleuw ould
offer to resign. Consequently the
duke, not suspecting that his. offer
would be accepted, sent in his paper to
the queen. The latter handed them to
