MARIN'S AMBITION.

Havana. Feb. 1.-Nuch anX
iety is felt hor concerning
the result Of the military oper-
atoms against General Gomez
and Maceo under the presonal
direction of Gen Marin, acting
captain general of Cuba. 1t is
believe here that Marin has
the ambition to strike a death
blow to the instruction before
the arrival from Spain of Gen.
Weyler, the successor of Cam
pos. 1t is understood he has
taken every step possible to
accomplish this.
1t is coming to be admitted
even in Cuban circles that the
instruction is in a precarious
state, chiefly from lack of am
munition and arms and want OF
fresh horses and supplies. The
confiscation of all the horses
and cattle possible by the
Spanish has weakened the in
surgents considerably. Their
horses are almost worn out
The Spaniards' tactics seem to
be to keep the Cubans constant

little donbt that the insurgents
are feeling the effects Of these
tactics, for their trails are

A high official Of the colonial
society confirms the report that
Emperor William is firmly de-
termined to carry out the pro
iect of doubling the size of the
German navy. This official has
had repeated conversations
with the emperor on the subject
in the last three weeks and as
serts that the plan for the re-
organization of the, navy will
be drawn up the coming sum
mer. His majesty is convinced
that this is absolutely neces-
sary to secure Germany in her
position as a great power,
hence all his energy will BE-
bent to that end. IF the present
reichstag refuses to grant large
sums for the building of a fleet
of fast cruiser, the nation will
be appealed to, and an attempt
made to raise the money by
popular subscription. Already
a score of German mobiles an6
merchants have declared theil
readiness to subscribe three
millions marks to form the
nucleus CT the fund.

In spite of the social and po
litical gloom, there has been a
revival of political activity due
10 the approach of the reassem-
bling of parliament. The speech
of the Marquis of Salisbury at
the meeting of the Non-C Con

much discussed. 1t is said to
have disa ppointed his warmist
admirers, especially in his ex-
posture Of the weakness of Great
Britain in the East, and his eX-
PLANTATION of her reasons for
non interference in behalf OF
Armenians. His reported &C
eeptance of the Monroe doctrine
however, shows that the com
mon sense policy advocated by
Mr.. Gladstone in the treatment
of the Venezuela question is
finding room in high quarters
and this is a most timely show
ing, for public sentiment is be
coming strongly opposed to the
premier's attitude toward Amer
lea, North as well as South.

the Indians having learned that he was on
his way to that place. Another time
when collecting Indian skulls at burial
place on Little Memaloose Island, in the
rapids at the foot of the Dalles. he mar
rowly escaped being captured through the
canoe of his pursuers having been upset
by their over-eagerness to catch him. Ow-
ing to dread of Indians he had for some
time kept his movements as secret as pos
sibe and so his disappearance attracted
no attention until some six months since,
when his brother came out from the east
to inquire about him.
The last his brother had heard from
him he was collecting Indian curlos
along the banks of the Cowlitz river,
where there used to be many Indian viii
lagos in early days, and where thousands
of Indians from the interior gathered
during the spring and summer to put up
smoked salmon for winter use. He had
written to his brother that he intended
to go to some islands in Silver Lake,
over toward Mount St. Helens, to ex-
anime an old Indian burylng ground
there, and that was the last that was
known of him. His brother visited the
islands in Silver Lake and found traces
OF him in scattered remains of Indians
and canoes, and here all traces Of him
failed.
1t seems probable that he had learned
Of the burying ground on the island in
Deadman's Lake. some twenty miles
further in the forest, where tradition
says the chiefs and medicine men Of sew
eral tribes along the Columbia used to
be buried. and, lured by the prospect Of
a rich find of curios. he had venteured to
visit the place imagining that he would
be safe from moestation in the depths
OF that great forest. The Indian guards
evidently caught him and put him to a
cruel death. and his fate might never
have been known had not the timber
cruiser Peterson, been led by curiosity
to visit this island
Hartley's brother, who returned east
several weeks since. has been notified OF
the discovery Of the remains. and Will
probably come out here again to take
them home.

Paris, Oct. lit is passing strange to
the French why this, the year Of great
depression in America, isn't felt more by
the Americans who are travelling abroad
1t is always the Americans who travel
first class; they who stop at the first-class
hotels. and it is for them that the shop
keepers deck their windows out in their
rarest treasures
And now that the season Of American
shopping is nearly over, the shopkeepers
declare that they have had more than
usually successful year.
AS for the couturieres., they have their
own private opinion Of the depressed
state of finances in America, and it
would take a great deal to convince them
that Americans hadn't more money than
they knew what to do with. Even now

picion Of point at the back and front.
Pieces of the silk were brought in loose
folds from the under-arm seams to the
shoulders. Crossing at the front and from
under these folds came a plisse OF en-
broidered white mousseline de sole.
The skirt was a pain godet of the pink

The entire corsage was covered with
deep cream lace, that was put on run and
gathered down into a crush girdle OF the

ribbon was gathered in at the armhole
seams in lieu Of sleeves and strip of the
ribbon continued from the right arm, and
crossed over and was held al the left shout

From the right shoulder came another
strip of the ribbon, that was brought down
and held at the grdle by an enamelled

showed under the pink satin ruffie at the
armholes.

and curios. and has probably robbed more
Indian graves and scattered broadcast the
remains or more Indians than any other
one man ever did. There is scarcely an In
dlan burying ground on the Columbia
river, o, the Islands therein, or along the
coast of Oregon, where such places are
numerous, which Hartley had not ran
sacked in search of stone knives and ham
mers, beads. flint arrowheads, and other
articles which Indians used to bury with
their dead; and, in several places notably
at Long Islandin the Upper Columbia, dead
houses of modern construction were torn
down by him, and the only partially de-
cayed bodies of those buried therein
dragged out and thrown about to bleach
in the sun and wind in his search for any
articles which might have been buried
with them.
1t was the custom Of nearly all the
tribes of Indians in oregon to dispose of
their dead by placing the body in a canoe,
with the most priced effects of the deceas-
ed, and then inverting another canoe over
1t. This made the burial places very easy
to be discovered and robbed
Since the Indians have been removed to
reservations, in most cases far from the
burying grounds of their ancestors, such
men as Hartley have piled their horrible
business without much fear of being dis
turbed. Hartley had been so long and so
actively engaged in the business, and his
operations had extended over such a scope
of territory that he was known by repu-
tation at least to many Indians, and when
ever it was known that he was in any
part of the country Indians from that sec
ton sent out guards to protect their old
burying places.

operating in an extensive Indian burying
ground at the mouth of the Alsea river, he
was shot at and narrowly escaped being
captured by guards sent down from the

the velvet was studded with amethysts

From the Morning oregonlan.
Two miners who have been prospecting
in the region of Mount Hood arrived in
Portland yesterday and report that the
body of James Hartley. collector of In
dian relics and curios, was found last
Thursday by Henry Peterson, a timber
cruiser. on a small island in Deadman's
Lake in the dense forest which stretches
from Mount st. Helens to the Columbia
river. The condition OF the body, which
was found in an old canoe, the hands and
feet bound by withes OF hazel and fasten-
ed to the stem and stern Of the canoe.
with stake Of hazel driven through n
just below the breast bone, showed con-
clusively that Hartly had been put to
death with cruel tortures such as were in
hicted upon white men taken prisoners.
Hartley has been missing for over a year.
but the body was in comparatlvel good
state Of preservation. and was readily
recognized by the clothes Of greenish coll
