Net on Hand When the Time

HIS LOCATION IS UNKNOWN
Marshal Hall Docs Not Believe the Fail.
ure TO Appear Was Pre-
meditatcd.

Chicago, June live of the officers
of the American Railway Union re-
turned to Woodstock Jail on the $50 p.
m. train today. President Eugene V.
Debs failed to report in time for the
train. He called on the marshal at
noo1 and was requested to report at
o'clock at the marshals Office with the
others, or at the Northwestern station
at o'clock. Messrs. Rodgers, Keliher,
Burns, Hogan and Goodwin saw the
chief at noon and could not account
for his failure to report. Debs told the
marshal that he had considerable bust
ness to transact, but he would be there
in time to take the train. Deputies Lo-
gan and Curran boarded the train with
the five men who reported and Deputy
Clark returned to the marshars office
with the Debs commitment papers.
The marshal was vexed at the fail
ure of Debs to report on time and sent
three men to look for him.
Bring him in wherever you find
him." was Mr.. Halls order to his depu-
ties. II do not think he has purposely
missed the train" said the marshal,
yet his failure to report on time is an
noying. 1t places Mr.. Debs in a bad
light If he is found tonight he will
remain in my office until train time in
the morning.
]. Elliott, the seventh man, wired that
he was on his way to Chicago from
Harrisburg, Penn, and would be in
some time during the night. When the
party was first sent to Jail Elliott was
two days behind in reaching Chicago

days respite. Howard, who has quar-
relied with his former associates and es-
tablished a rival organization, desired
to serve his sentence separate from
theirs, and the desire was mutual To-
day Judge Woods wired Judge Showall
to transfer Howard from Woodstock
Jail to the county. Jail at Joliet.
The commitment papers were made
for six months in the Debs case and
three months in each of the others, less

HIS WOOL WAREHOUSE SET ON FIRE
Incendiaries Again Visit the Property Of
Charles Cunningham.

Pendleton, Or, June 11-Over 500
sacks of WOOL 100000 pounds, are burn
ing fiercely at Charles Cunninghams
Birch creek sheep ranch, three miles
beyond Pilot Rock, where the big fires
occurred Monday morning. This great
pile of wool is a seething mass OF
flames, which at times burst out and
rise to a height of 200 feet.
The wool has been burning since 3
O'Clock this morning, for at that hour
came fire fiends a second time. After
applying quantities of coal oil, they
held matches at different places and
then mounted horses for a hasty re-
treat.
Mr.. Cunningham was sleeping in the
orchard 100 feet away with seven wool
haulers, who We're to commence this
morning to haul the wool to Pendleton.
He had made hunks on the ground in
the midst of the desolation of the fire
of the night before, and with loaded
pistols by his side commenced to watch
for the possible APPROACH Of incendiaries.
Part Of the men slept and part watched.
At o'clock, when the watchmen dozed,
two men stole up and accomplished
their purpose. Bright flames suddenly
shot up and cast their lurid light
against the udIk ulllS SURROUNDING inc
ranch domestic. The men sprang to
their feet, to learn instantly what was
transporting, and set Immediately to
work to find whittier had gone the
scoundrels. Horse tracks were discov-
cred and trailed one mile down the
rodad toward Pendleton. Here the
track was lost.
The men returned to be helpless wit
nesses of the confiagratiOn at the wool
warehouse. The building was so by 200
feet, contained 100000 pounds of wool.
1t was built of dry lumber and the
structure burned like finder. When
the last bit of timber had been con-
sumed, there was left not a vestige Of
the famous Cunningham Birch creek
ranch plant, excepting that wool not
yet turned to ashes. On the Birch creek
and Bitter creek ranches there is left
standing not a building or thing Of
value excepting one house on the latter
place, saved from the fires. Cunning
ham estimates his loss at $50 900 or $780,
900; insurance, $4,000. The wool is still
burning and will not be entirely con-
sumed before two weeks.

Roland Yeend Fatally Burned at
WaIla WaIla.
WAS JUST ABLE TO CRAWL OUT
The Wool Warehouse of c. Cunnin cham
Near Pilot Rock Destroyed by
Incendiaries.

Walla Walla, June 11.-Roland Ye-
end, manager of the Farmers Alliance
warehouse, of which the Farmers bank
of this city was practically owner, was
fatally burned this afternoon. At
O'Clock fire broke out in the warehouse,
which is directly opposite the general
offices and depot Of the Washington q
Columbia River railway. The fire de-
partment responded promptly, but the
corrugated iron building was wrapped
IN flames in a few minutes, and the en-
tire building with farm machinery,
grain sacks, etc, was total loss. The
fire was red hot and scorched buildings
a block away. Amid the flames a man
was seen to crawl upon his hands and
knees to the sidewalk, where what
clothing was not yet burned off him
was torn away. He suffered intense
agony, and Drs. Cropp, Keyler, helms
and Glove did all possible to save his
life, which was fast ebbing away. Rev.
Evers rendered a prayer for the unfort-
innate man, while the heart-broken wife
was bending over her husband. Tele-
graph poles, boxcars and buildings near
by were at times on fire. The building
contained goods to the amount of about
$4,000, while it was valued at $4,000.
The insurance is about $500.
The exact origin Of the fire is a matter
of conjecture, but it is said children
with matches dropped one near where
the oil was stored Yeend says that
when he discovered the fire he ran up
stairs for the books to put them in the
safe, and when making his way out
the flames enveloped him. He says he
could have made his escape through
window without serious damage. He is
about "a years Of age, has a wife and
three children, and is comfortably
fixed. Physicians say he can not live
through the night

Orders to Prevent Expeditions to
Cuba's Coast.
COLLECTORS ARE NOTIFIED
The Filibusterers From Florida TO lie
Watched by United States
Authorities

Washington, June 1.-THE following
letter was sent today to all collectors
of customs on the Atlantic coast from
New York to the Rio Grande
ITO Collectors of Customs and Others:
1t is a matter of rumor that at various
points in the United States attempts
are making to enlist men to equip and
arm vessels and by other illegal meas
ures to aid the instruction now in
progress in the island of Cuba. While
this department has not been furnished
with tangible evidence, confirmatory of
such rumors, it deems ii of great inn
portance that no possibility be given
for complaints that the government of
the United States has in any respect
failed in it's duty to a friendly nation.
Collectors of customs Of the several
districts between New York and
Brownsville are especially enjoined to
see that the neutrality laws of the
United States, particularly section $3.50
of the revised statutes, are fully COM
piled with.
IS WIKE, Acting Secretary"
MUST BE SUPPRESSED.
Acting Secretary McAdoo of the navy
department said this afternoon that the
instructions sent to the commander of
the cruiser Raleigh for his guidance
when on patrol duty off the Florida
coast, were Of the most comprehensive
kind and provided for full and strict
enforcement of the neutrality laws.
The Raleigh probably will! go first to
Key West. This is the only port on the
Florida coast which a vessel Of her
draught can safely enter She then
will make a thorough patrol of the
OF nj 10 =
cult for a flibustering party to get
away the cruisers steam launches and
small boats will be manned whenever
1t is necessary to look into narrow in
let's and passes for light draught
schooners and yachts, which are the
favorite means of transportation Of fill
busterers.
With Spanish men-of-war lying off
the Florida coast outside of the three
mile limit and the Raleigh and her
boats sweeping the inside waters, the
over-enthusiastic Cubans and their
American sympathizers who undertake
to drive the United States into trouble
by making Florida a base of hostile OPP
erations against the government of
Cuba are likely to be suppressed with
a strong hand.
The position of the administration Of
1cials is that they must make all hon
orable efforts to prevent the abuse of
our territory in this way and if the
measures already adopted are not suf-
ncient to secure the enforcement of
neutrality laws to the large degree that
we have ourselves insisted upon when
our own interests We're concerned, then
active steps may be taken to move upon
the people who lay themselves open to
prosecution by organizing hostile ex-
petitions and aiding in illegal ways the
warfare on a friendly nation.
