Private cablegrams to Cuban leaders

that he and Maceo will soon make a con-

little Is vouchsafed the public.

Of sharp firing or dynamiting were heard

.HEALDSBURG FISHERMEN,
They Are Arrested by Commits.
Sioner BabCock While
SEEMING.
Several Arrests Are Expected to Fol.
low and There Is Much
Speculation.

HEALDSBURG, CAL, Jan. 12.-Fish
Commissioner Babcock made quite a haul
yesterday when he arrested Al Duncan,
William King, Fred Rice and n. Fore
man, all prominent residents of this place,
for illegal fishing.
The men were SEEMING salmon in Rus
sian River about four miles below this
city and had captured about one hundred
fish when the Commissioner swooped
down upon them.
The seine used was OF large size, the
PUSHES being small, however, and many
small fish were taken.
These, however, had been returned to
the stream
After placing the offenders under arrest
the officer returned all the salmon but
three to the stream. These, with the
seine, he brought to town to use as evil
oence against the accused.
1t is said that several more arrests will
follow for the same offense, and it is be-
lieved in this city that Mr. Babcock has
been patrolling the stream for some days
getting names.
The arrests have caused much talk.
AT this season of the year the Russian
River and its tributaries are alive with
salmon, and the majority of people are
pleased to see that their destruction is
being prevented. All the men are out on
bail

and those who did not have chance to
use it during the experimental period were
anxious to see what they could do upon 1t
with rifle and pistol for it is adapted
equally to both.
The Columbia target is a decided de-
parture from all other targets in several
particulars. In the first place the count is
reversed, starting from the unit in the
center, whereas in other ring targets an
arbitrary number is placed in the center
OF the bullseye. In orderAto get the inch
as the unit OF value the half-inch lines
have been adopted.
This makes the diameter of the inner
circle, or center ring, one inch. This gives
two values to the figures the diameter
value in inches and the distance from the
center in half inches. On being shown by
the marker l, ., 3 or the marksman
knows that his bullet has struck within
l. 2 or inch circle. He also knows
the distance of each bullet from the center
in half inches. These circles are carried
as high as 26, the outer circle being 20
inches IN diameter, or IS inches from the
center. Thus the total of a string of shots
Is the approximate string measure in half

PORTLAND ROBBERS AST|R
A Very Nervous and Green High
wayman Holds Up an
Electrician.
Two Thugs Rob the Coachman of a
Prominent Attorney and Then
Take the Horses.

PORTLAND Or, Jan. u An electric
car of the Easyside Railroad Company,
having left Oregon City at 20 this even
ing, was held up by a solitary robber be-
tween Milwaukee and Oak Grove.
The robber, a slight built fellow, got on
the rear end of the car, and, sticking big
revolver under the conductors nose, made
him shell out all his change.
He then entered the car, containing
eight passengers, among whom were two
women, all of whom had to pay tribute to
the lonely highwayman.
He proved himself to be a novice in the
business, though, as he allowed the pas
sengers to delve into their own pockets to
bring out their money. Had he been a
professional he would have taken no such
chances for fear of being shot.
He also walked the entire length of the
car, turning his back on some OF the male
passengers.
The only circumstance saving his life
was that none of his victims carried a
pistol.
He took no jewelry, and the greater part
OF the money on the persons OF the passen-
gers they saved, as the robber was very
nervous and seemingly anxious 10 get
away as hurriedly as possible.
At o'clock tonight the coachman of
Arthur Emmons, prominent lawyer
here, was held up on the White House
road by two thugs.
Then the robbers took possession of the
horse and buggy he was taking TO Pales-
tine Hill, where Mr.. Emmons lives. and
they drove the rig into town.
