PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 31-It is only
through mere chance, a miracle al
most, that a party of mountain climb
ers who made the ascent of Mount
Hood lest Wednesday, were not buried
beneath an avalanche of rock and
ashes There was an eruption, as the
party, of which William Killingsworth
and his daughter, Fay, were members,
were making the descent of the noun
tain.
The eruption lasted but few min
utes. After the rocks and ashes that
were thrown up had fallen and the
powders had passed all was serene
again. Several others in the party were
alsos truck by the rocks, but none of
them were seriously injured. Mr.. Kill
ingsworth and his party reached home
today, and the many friends of Miss
Killingsworth were pleased to learn
that she was not as badly injured as
reported. No bones were found broken

OF AUGUST 20.
Spaniards Beaten and Driven Away
Crossing the Trocha-Warnings Are
Sent to Spain.
CUBAN VICTORY.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Manuel Fon-
ties, a captain in the Cuban patriot
army, arrived today with important
letters from Generals Antonio Maceo
and Aguirre to Delegate Estrada Pal
ma. He refused to say how he man
aged to smuggle himself out of the
island. Fountes was at the battle of
Moralitos, on August goth.
During the engagement the Spanish
lost Lieutenant-C Colonel Albergoti,
three majors, two captains, several
lieutenants and more than 200 soldiers
were killed or wounded. Seeing that
it was useless to continue the attack,
Col Teporoza retreated toward Jaruco,
constantly harassed by the patriot
troops detached for that purpose.
Capt. Fountes saw Gen. Quintin Band
eras two days after the latter passed
the Artemisa trocha from Pinar del
Rio to Havana. On crossing ii Band
eras carried everything before him,
barbed wire fences and all.

NEW YORK, Sept 2.-Right Honor
able Joseph Chamberlain, British Sec

Chamberlain, who is the daughter of
former Secretary of War Endcott of
Massachusetts. Chamberlain said he
CAME to visit Mr.. and Mrs. Endicott ut

10 England in a fortnight.
Mr.. Chamberlain said his visit has
no official connection with the Vene-

interested in British Guiana as a col

to America to meet Secretary of State
Olney and to confer with him about
the Venezuelan matter or any other
public business is not so. Indeed, I
have no appointment with Mr. Olney.
My visit is purely personal"

Twelve POWDER VICTIMS
ANOTHER EXPLOSION AT THE
CALIFORNIA WORKS.
Buildings at Pinole Wrecked-Scene of
Devastation-A Fearful Scattering
in a Minute

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.-Death
came to twelve men yesterday at Pin
ole. They were blown to pieces by an
explosion in the plant of the California
Powder Company, and when the noise
had died and the smoke cleared away
their bodies were found scattered here
and there, torn and dismembered al
most beyond hope of recognition.
The disaster occurred shortly after
o'clock. Literally speaking, there
were two explosions, but they fol-
lowed so closely upon each other that
to the unpracticed ear it was one ter
rife detonatiou. The mixing depart
ment went up first, scattered to the
air like 80 much chaff, with a roar that
shook the country for miles around,
and the nitro-glycerine house followed
the next instant, through sympathetic
concussion and fire shot through a
fiume connecting the two departments.
The two buildings, although 400 yards
/ y
The workingmen who were in them at
the time were torn to atoms.
Immediately after the surrounding
buildings and the grass on the hill
sides caught fire and threat med TO
complete the ruin of the entire plant.
As soon as the Mortified employees re-
covered from the shock they went IN
work fighting the flames, and after
working hard for two hours subducd
them.
Then began the work of sear;hiny
| for the dead. Where the mixing house
stood there remained only a deep hole
! in the earth and few broken and
scattered timbers.

MATABELE.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-J. II. Tibbits,
formerly member of the California
Legislature, and more recently min
ing engineer in South Africa, arrived
in this city Friday on the steamship
Ohio. Tibbts is fresh from the scene
of the Matabele uprising, in which he
had the misfortune to lose several
comrades. Referring to the uprising
Tibbits said today;
"The revolt is to be attributed to tn,
unreasoning prejudice against whites,
engendered in the natives by their 'en-
dumas or witchcraft doctors, who
went from kraal to kraal and preached
animosity. At every 'enduna' or con
vention of natives these endunas were
TO be found telling them they should
rise against the whites and drive them
from the country.

Ii HUNG CHANGES ARGUMENT FOR
THE CHINESE.
Complains of the Geary Act-Politic in
Replying to Observation-Disclosures and
England.
LII INTERVIEWED.

NEW YORK, Sept. Iii Hung
Chang was interviewed at the Waldorf
today by a number of reporters. In
response to Il query whether the Earl,
who had said so many things about
Americans, had any unfavorable com
ments to make, his eXcellency replied
that he would not say anything about
this country. He added, however, that
he thought there were too many polit-
ical parties here, and asked why the
newspapers did not bring them to-
gether.
When asked to make a comparison
between this country and England he
declined, saying he had nothing unfav-
orable to say of either.
In answer to question as to what
he had been most interested in, he
said our tall buildings were very won
derful, but they would hardly do in
China on account of the typhoons.
Earl Ii was asked whether he eX-
pected any modification of the Geary,
law. He replied that he hoped for it.
81 wish to say more about the eX-
clusion act The exclusion act is most
unfair and most foolish, because it is
admitted by all who have studied po-
litical economy that competition, and
competition alone, will keep the mar
ket in good health, whether that mar
ket is one of commerce or labor. Put
aside from you minds that am a high
Chinese official and mandarin, and
look upon me as a man who is study
ing the best interests of a country. |
say to you that to exclude cheap labor
or cheap commerce from your country
is unfair and against the best interests
of your country.
"By excluding the Chinese and talk
ing Irish you get inferior labor and
pay superior prices for it.

THERE ARE 10000 G. a. Il. MEN AT
ST. PAUL.
A Great Parade-No Election Yet---A
Slight Eruption of Mount Hood
Poor Imitation.
G.. 4. r.

ST. PAUL Mimi, Sept. 2.-Nearly
10000 veterans tramped the streets of
st. Paul for several hours today. The
day was an ideal one for marching,
the sun being behind clouds and g
light breeze making the air cool. The
parade has been in mind to such an
extent that the politics of the encamp-
ment must take back seat and wait
for the business session to open tomor,
row. The candidates are still being
urged by their friends, the leaders
being Rear Admiral Mead, Major T. S.
Clarkson, and New Hampshire's can
didate, Comrade Linehan. 1t seems to-
night to be divided between east and
west, and the fact that Buffalo will
surely get the next encampment may
affect the result, as the sections are
somewhat jealous of the honors.

REGATTA BALL.
There viii BE Dance on the Evening
of the Carnival

The Board of Directors of the Myrtle
Boat club met at the residence of \.
q. NJ. Robertson Wednesday evening
and transacted little business left
over from the last meeting. Bonnie
Lemon, Martin Smith and o. IL. WILL
Jams were elected members. The chief
discussion during the evening was up
on a proposal from members of the
Healani and Leilani boat clubs to have
a combined dance at Independence
Park on the evening of Regatta Day.
1t was the original intention of the
Myrtle club to have a dance of its own
at that time and it was hardly clear
just what course should be pursued
1t was finally decided to wait the ac-
tion of the other clubs and to join in
case they decided to press the dance
project. If, however, the scheme is
abandoned the Myrtles will go it alone
with their dance

official figures. Josiah Groat is elected

are trimmed with wide lace, either full
ed on or applied fat, which is the newer
way.
Sleeves, although somewhat less ag-
gressive than they were last year, still
hold their own very steadily in point of
size, and there is little prospect of their
becoming decidedly smaller for a long
time. The latest sleeves droop a little
over the elbows, but are still quite full
at the top. The portion from wrist to
elbow is close fitting and is in many
cases entirely untrmmed. Some sleeves,
however, have deep, turned back cuffs;
others have buttons, and still others
have bows and bands of velvet or lace
or paSSementerie. Large puffs from
shoulder to elbow are seen on costumes
of light material, but tailor gowns and
cloth dresses have the dropping effect
already mentioned.
The illustration shows 4 remarkable
costume, composed of material having
a silk boucle plaid of black on a red
satin ground. The godet skirt has a
narrow, plated panel of royal blue vel
