Oregon Mills May Compete.

Representative Hermann has OBJ
tanned valuable concessions from the
navy department in favor Of Pacific
coast blanket manufacturers. Hereto
fore all contracts for blankets pur-
chased for use on our naval vessels on
the Pacific coast, and at the United
States navy yards at Mare island and
those to be used on the new war vessel
the Oregon, all provided first class
delivery in New York. which prac-
tically gave a monopoly to Eastern
woolen mills. Now Mr.. Herman
makes protests in the name Of the Ore
gon wooden mills against this dis
tinction, and has insisted that con-
tracts should be let on terms permit
ting delivery at San Francisco, which
would favor the Pacific coast mills ut
least to the cost Of transportation,
which is quite an item. At the next
letting the department win change the
rule If Pacific coast mills desire to bid.
The rule formerly required provisions
and stores for Pacific naval uses to be
delivered in New York, but this was
changed a few years ago.

THE CUBAN MILITIA.
Members Ordered to Present Themselves
for Duty.

Members Ordered to Present Themselves
for Duty.
NEW YORK, May 27.-A special to
the Herald from Key West says:
The most important news received
by steamer last night shows dissatis.
faction manifested by the inhabitants
OF the island over the order of the
captain-general demanding military
service from them in the field to sup
press the insurrection. 1t is expected
that before the end of the week open
conflict will occur between the volun-
teers and the authorities. General
Campos' order as published in the Of
fetal organ, the Diario de Marina, re-
quires that all men drafted in Spain
between the years 1892 and 1894, and
who are now enrolled In the militia
throughout Cuba, shall present them
selves within eight days in order to be
assigned to regular regiments for
service in the interior. Those refusing
to appear are to be tried by court
martial as deserters and shot. The
colonels of each regiment of volunteers
will be held responsible personally
for every man in his command.
The volunteers who have always con-
sidered themselves favored class,
now openly refuse to obey the orders,
Some insist that being enrolled in the
militia, exempts them from compul-
sorry service in the regular army.
Others adopt the subterfuge that they
will only serve in their own regiments
and under their present officers, and
will resist any attempt to deprive them
of their rights.
When It. Is considered that many OF
those, included in General Campos'
order have attained the rank of captain
of militia since their arrival in Cuba,
and also that substitutes will not be
accepted, as heretofore, their protest
appears to be we'll grounded. Natural
ly these officers will have to serve as
privates.
Several stormy interviews have been
reported between colonels of volun-
teers and the authorities over the mat
ter. The former upheld their men in
tho stand they took, and the fact that
they represent the most prominent and
influential class on the island today
only complicates the situation.
1t is declared If the order is not re-
voked or modified, general mutiny
will take place, and, as the volunteers
hold the key of the situation, a revival
of the scenes that took place in the '70s
will be re-enacted, Dodgers have
been circulated calling on volunteers
to assemble in uniform. 1t is expected
that in the excited state of the Havana
citizens riot will be the outcome.

JOHANN TRANoUnINI DEAD.
He Was Present When Prince Rudolph
Was Killed

He Was Present When Prince Rudolph
Was Killed
NEW YORK, May A.-JOhann Tran
quilini is dead in the hospital OF the
New York City asylum for the insane
on Wards island. just before his
death he revealed the secret history OF
the Crown Prince Rudolph's death at
Meyerling, January 80, 1889. Johann
Tranquilini, while he was no more
than an humble cab-driyer, was the
intimate friend and boon companion OF
Rudolph. For years all the royal frolics
were familiar to him. He it was who
drove the crown prince on all un:
heralded excursions. Tranquilini
gained for himself place in the world
of history when he drove the crown
prince to Meyerling the night OF Ru-
dolph's death. When the rumOrs OF
the tragedy were whispered from mouth
to ear in Vienna, it would seem that
he was deemed uncertain as to his 81
lence. So, soon after the funeral, he
left Vienna and came to this country.
He seemed literally provided with
money, and for time lived in lavish
extravaganza among the Austrians OF
the. city. His claim was that the
prince was attacked by Baroness Vet
sere, who was in love with him. she
then turned the revolver upon herself
and expired almost instantly. A count
who was her relative then dealt the
prince mortal blow on his temple,
and the royal frolic broke up in wild
confusion.

Several Lives Thought 10 Be Lost In the
Recent Storm.
ASTORIA, May 27.-Reports received
today from the fishing grounds near
the entrance to the river state that the
storm Saturday night was one of the
most severe that has occurred for sew
eral months. AS the result several
lives have been lost and much damage
done to property. Sixteen boats, the
property of the Cutting Packing Com
pany, were driven upon Chinook
beach, but it is believed the men were
all saved. Another of the Cutting
Packing Company's boats, in charge
of j. Seaman, has been missing sew
eral days, and the men have been given
up as lost. Cuttings boat No. 81 was
capsized on Great Republic spit Sum-
day morning, but the, Point Adams
lifesaving crew succeeded in rescuing
the men. The accident was the second
this season in which the captain of the
boat narrowly escaped drowning. Boat
No. 45, in charge of Victor Walrus,
and belonging to the same company,
capsized below Kinney's cannery Sat
urday night, and the crew was carried
to Desdemona sands. There the men
succeeded in catching two trap poles
and held on until A. M, when they
were rescued by two of Kinney's men.

greatest benefit to the grain crop, and

crop of large portion of several Of
the counties is either spring sown or
volunteer; both require the best OF
climatic conditions to produce good
yields the year of 1894 had q large
acreage of summer-fallowed grain and
plowing is now in progress for summer
fallow this year again, hence the more
than ordinary anxiety for the success
of the grain crops this year and the
need of rainfall. Some correspondents
of Morrow county have reported poor
wheat prospects, but now since the
rain, the prospects have improved. In

Nicaragua has been provoking this
country so presistently that war seems
inevitable. The government here sup
posed the relations between the two
states were friendly until Nicaragua
suddenly stopped all communication.
She went 80 far as to take away the
telegraph Office at the frontier, there
by violating a treaty. This govern
ment sent several kilograms to the
Nicaraguan government, but the lat
ter refused to answer. When Great
Britain's ultimatum was received by
Nicaragua, Costa Rica offered to assist
in arranging matters peacefully. Mic
aragua did not deign to even return
polite word of thanks.
President Iglesias is getting ready
to resist an invasion from Nicaragua,
but the army will not be called out
until circumstances force it. Only a
few men have been sent to watch the
border.
Nicaragua, it is reported here, has
several hundred men under arms ready
for an attack. The cabinet ministers
here wish no war, but if it must come
they claim to have better soldiers and
to be able to whip Nicaragua.

A Surveyor Missing.

ASTORIA, May 25-N. w. Raymond,
surveyor of this city, is missing, and
grave fears are entertained for his
safety. He left here on the 11th inst.
for the purpose of locating new road
from the Necanicum bridge, at Sea-
side, to the line between Clatsop and
Tillamook counties, and has not been
heard of since leaving Seaside. A set
tier from the lower Nehalem country
arrived in town today, and reported
the finding of Raymond's horse on Ne
carney mountains. 1t is thought by
some that the missing man may have
been thrown from his horse, while
others are of the opinion that he
lost himself in the woods. A search
ing party will probably be organized
Monday, and efforts made to learn his
whereabouts,

|. schulze's Defalcations.
It appears that several Umatilla
county people will suffer loss by the
peculations of the late Paul Schulze,
says Pendleton paper. Mr.. Schulze
was agent of the Northern Pacific
Railway company in the land depart
ment, and to him Jesse Moors remitted
draft for nearly 5000 in payment for
some railroad land he had purchased.
The draft was regularly drawn, sent,
cashed and returned through the
proper channels, and Mr.. Moore sup
posed his payment was recorded and
he had corresponding credit on the
books OF the land department OF the
Northern Pacific.
1t has been discovered that the
money was appropriated to other uses,
and letters are passing. between Mr..
Moore and Thomas Cooper, the recent
land agent. Mr.. Cooper has sent a
letter requesting that the original
draft be sent for his personal examina-
ton.
Mr.. Moore is but one of several re-
siding in Umatilla county who trans
mitted money to the Northern Pacific
when Paul Schulze was agent, and lind
now they have no record OF the matter
at Tacoma. The probability Is that
thousands of dollars Of shortage will
yet be dug up, and the total amount be
augmented enormously.

Tuesday. Deputy Shipley went to bed
about 10 P. NJ. After Shipley was
asleep, Brown, knowing the cage to be
unlocked, dressed. He first thought
he would rob Shipley of his pistol and
money and skip, but concluded he
would not steal, and went out un-
armed. He followed the wagon road
to Wilbur, nine miles north, and then
went three miles east to John r. Suth-
erlin's, on the Umpqua river, arriving
there about daylight. There he re-
mained until the folks arose, and was

MEXICAN MATTERS.
No Export Duty Discriminating Against
American Capital.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Senor Ro-
nero, Mexican minister, said today,
concerning the intention of Mexico
to decree an export duty discriminat-
ing against the American capital in
vested in Mexican mining enterprises,
that he was not aware that such bill
had been approved by the Mexican
congress, but that, as it was presented
by the executive, he believed that it is
very likely to be approved. Senior
Romero further said that the real OBJ
ject OF the pending bill was to distrib.
ute on the whole mining industry of
Mexico the very high duty now levied
upon the mining of silver. The pres
ent mining duty is 4.44 per cent. Senor
Romero further said that the real OBJ
ject of the new bill is to distribute
equally between all the silver produc-
ers of Mexico the present taxes which
now lie on come classes of miners, and
that,the imputation that it is dis
eliminating measure against American
capital invested in Mexico is utterly
without foundation.

THE WOMEN TOOK PART.

OF Une recent
tack on Lima.
NEW YORK, May 24.-Advices re.
ceived from Panama are as follows:
The Lima correspondent of the Star
and Herald says:
In various parts of the city men and
women are said to have fought along
side the revolutionary soldiers or fired
on the Cacerist troops from their
houses. This accounts for so many
women having lost their lives in the
attack on Lima. In one house the
Cacerists discovered some 400 rifles
and ammunition in consequence of the
imprudent enthusiasm of the wife of
an Indian who fired several shots at
the troops. In other sections of the
city women opened the doors and
pulled the wounded inside, passing
their rifles and ann unition out to the
insnrgent soldiers.
