IT WAKED THEM
Three Oregon Men Blown Up With Dy-
Mantle Escape Harm

SEATTLE, Dec. IA special to the
Post-Intelligencer from Praie, Skagit
county says that on the night of De-
cember 4th an attempt was made there
to blow up with dynamite three men who
were sleeping in the same building. The
men were j. c. A. and C. l.. La Plant,
owners of a shngle mill, and l.. d. Wal
ters, their engineer. About o'clock in
the morning they awoke to find them
selves being lifted into the air. A mo-
ment later they came down and went
through the floor with the beds In which
they had been sleeping and the debris
of the building falling on top of them.
The men were partially stunned, but
they pulled themselves out and made
their way to neighbours house quar-
ter of mile distant. The house was
completely wrecked, with all of it's con-
tents. the timbers being smashed to
kindling wood and the bedding being
torn to shreds.
Under the floor was large hole in the
ground caused by the explosion and the
supposition is that the dynamite was
placed in a bag, poked under the house
and then fired. 1t was miracle that the
men escaped. everything else being ut
terly destroyed.

THE NORTHERN FLOODS.
Washington Railroads Badly Crippled
by Washouts-RepairsI Impossible.

TACOMA, Dec. 7.-The Northern Pa
cific received word this morning that the
bridge across Carbon river on the Douty
branch, between Crocker and Carbona-
do, had been washed out. and that nine
loaded cars had fallen through into the
water. The bridge is used almost ex-
clusively to haul out the coal from the
Carbon hill mines. The accident was
caused by the washing away of the
abutment at the west end Of the bridge.
A wrecking crew and pile driver were
sent to the scene of the accident and
the superintendent hopes to have the
bridge again ready for traffic within "a
hours.
The water in White river Is still up
to a height that renders work on the
now impassable Northern Pacific bridge
impossible. A telegram was received
from there this morning asking for
an additional force of men, but Super
intendent McCabe, upon learning that
the water had subsidized only foot dur
ing the night decided not to attempt
any repairs until tomorrow, or unSl such
time as the water recedes sufficiently
as to allow the men to work to aAvan-
taga.

ENGLISH COMMENT.
The Tone and Spirit Are Worthy of All
Praise.

LONDON Dec. SAIL Of the news
papers this morning have editorials on
President Cleveland's message. Most
of them regard the message as one of
rather minor importance, kept so far
as it concerns the Cuban question, to
which phase the bulk of comment is de-
voted.
The Daily News, the Liberal organ,
says of the Cuban portion of the mes
says: President Clevelands argument
is clear enough that no country possess
es the right to foster a perpetual source
of trouble, and that Spain must either
grant autonomy or sell. Spain however.
will probably refuse to do anything of
the kind. Her proverbial pride will be
much hurt by Americas interference.
She will be disposed to insist upon her
right to wallop her own negroes as long
as she pleases, and Europe, being very
sensitive just now or the subject of the
Monroe doctrine Spain will probably be
infiuentialy supported if she holds out
We hope she will not prevail because
autonomy is best for Cuba and best for
Spain.
THE TIMES.
The editorial in the Times says: The
tone and spirit of the message are worthy
VI dA praise. ~ Is d plty Tile HlOueTd-
tion and balance of mind which Mr..
Cleveland has just displayed were not
more conspicuous last year, when he
startled the tow continents by men,
ace of war. If the Venezuelan question
had been handled as MIR. Cleveland now
handles the Cuban question, he might
have averted the disruption of the De-
mocracy and have kept Bryan and Bry
anism in their previous obscurity
The present message gives the sound
est advice in the most unexceptional
languag, nor can the least complaint be
made of the character of the warning
addressed to SPAIN 1t is not improba BILE
that Spain will take offense, but clearly
Mr.. Cleveland is actuated by friendly
feelings, and Spain will do well to ac-
quiesce, otherwise the way Will be clear
for the influence represntd by Mr.. Calls
rsolution in the senate yesterday. If
Spain closes now with Mr.. Cleveland's
overtures, it would be diffi0Et for the
Mckinley administration to steer new
course.
THE CHRONICLE.
The Chronicle GiberaD. in common
with other papers, congratulates both
countries on the prospect Of the sdOp-
The herald., 1896-12-08

tion of a general arbitration treaty. 1t
says: 1t is clear that the Cleveland ad-
ministration means to conclude the great
reform before resigning office.
On the proposed Cuban settlement the
Chronicle says: We believe the time
has passed when the Cuban insurgents
will accept any solution placing Spanish
officials over them, even nominally.
There is no mistake, however, about the
warning President Cleveland addresses
to Spain, and Spanish statesmen should
be aware that the Democratic govern
ment is far more pacific and conserva-
tive in its foreign policy than the COM
Ing Republican government Is likely to
be. Spain has to face a humiliating di-
lemma, but she could not fight the Unit
ed States for twenty-four hours. There
fore, she should sell Cuba quickly but
he would be no friend of the United
States who would advise her to buy
Cuba.
THE STANDARD.
The Standard CONSERVATIVE says it
thinks that Spain had better accept Mr..
Clevelands' friendly counsel as Mr.. Nc
kinley is not likely to be less exacting
than Mr.. Cleveland THE Monroe doc
trine," says the Standard, "is making
great strides. 1t is a large, bold policy,
but free from danger. Fortunately, as
far as England is concerned, the pros
poets of the arbitration treaty makes
the risks of trouble small. Altogether,
it is dignified and able message"

enue and become extravagant, fear In
which the people will not join him.
Mr.. Walker, Massachusetts, chairman
of committee on banking and currency
The best message President Cleveland
has ever written. What he says about
tn weakness and viciousness of our finan-
cial methods is stating it mildly, and
ought to prompt the commercial organi
zations and bankers of the country to
come to the assistance Of the banking
and currency committee with a plan
carefully prepared that would remedy
the evils admitted to exist by every
thoughtful financier.
Mr.. Lacey, Iowa, Republican-Presi-
dent Cleveland is evidently anxious to
pass the uCban question over to Major
Mckinley. There is no real solution of
the question embraced in his message
except that Spain had better sell Cuba
bfore the property is all destroyed.
Mr. Livingston, Georgia, Democrat
The president has made a full and un-
questionable showing in his message of
the necessity for our interference in
Cuba now.
MKINLEY'S INTEREST.
CANTON, Ohio, Dec. THE reading
OF President Cleveland's message was
scarcely finished when Presldent-elect
Mckinley was furnished with a COPY of
Mr.. Mckinley was In. the best of spirits
when he read aloud to his friends about
him the first two paragraphs uttered by
Mr.. Cleveland, referring to the recent
election.
Mr.. Mckinley made no effort to con-
ceal his pleasure at the pleasant refer
ences made to the result of the contest.
Prhaps tn greatest intrst shown was in
his reading of Mr.. Cleveland's exposition
of the Cuban situation, which he fol-
lowed closely and read in full. Mr.. Cleve-
lands utterances on the statistics of
the treasury department, retirement Of
greenbacks and national banks were all
read with the deepest interest.
BRYAN WON'T TALK.
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. IA represen-
tative Of the Associated Press called on
William Jennings Bryan this afternoon
and showed him a copy of President
Cleveland's message. Mr.. Bryan was
and a constant stream of callers, and
overwhelmed with pressure of work
after repeated efforts, was compelled to
abandon the attempt to read the mes
sage.
Mr.. Clevelands message" said Mr..
Bryan, 'is too important a document

meal or briefly as a whole. do not care
to express myself upon the message un-

STATE EXAMINERS.
The Coyote Claims Matter Will Be De-
cided Some Time.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. lat meeting
of the state board of examiners this af-
ternoon the sum Of $11,25O was ordered
paid to the soldiers home at Yountville.
The legislature had appropriated $4,000
for the home, but there has been consid-
cradle objection to paying the money.
j. M. Wood Of San Francisco urged the
board Of examiners to recommend the
legislature to pay him $1,000, which
sum, it is claimed. he lost in furnishing
money to Owens Brothers, contractors,
to buy supplies towards building the
San Francisco sea wall. Prices had gone
up with boom and Owens Brothers lost
heavily.
Governor Budd said he was opposed to
paying the claim. The governor told
Wood that if he had a bill passed by the
legislature he would veto it, 1t would
be establishing a bad precedent.
Owing to the absence OF the attorney
general, the matter of the coyote claims
was continued until next Monday.

SPANS ACTION IN 1861.
Translation of the Decree Issued Dur
ing Our Civil War.

The following is a translation OF
the Spanish decree of June II, 1861, by
which the Queen of Spain recognized
the belligerency of the Confederates,
declaring neutrality between the par
ties to the contest. It is interesting
to observe that this decree was issued
but about two months after Fort Sum
ter was fired upon, while the proposed
action by this government comes more
than one year after the beginning of
hostilities in Cuba.
The Spanish decree is as follows:
considering the relations which
exist between Spain and the United
States of America, and the expectancy
of not changing the reciprocal rela-
tions of friendly understanding on ac-
count of the grave events which
have happened in that republic, |
have resolved to maintain the strlctest
neutrality in the struggle engaged
in between all the Federal States Of
the Union and the Confederate
States of the South; and in order to
avoid the losses which our subjects
might suffer both in shippisg and COM
merce. both for want of definite rules
to which their conduct might conform,
in accord with the views Of my Council
of Ministers, / decree as follows:
''Article /. It is forbidden in all the
ports of the Spanish realm to arm, sup
ply, and equip any privateer vessel,
whatever may be the flag she carries.
Article 1t is in like manner for
hidden to owners, masters, or captains
Of merchant vessels to accept letters OF
maraue, or to contribute In any way
to the arming or equipping OF vessels
of war or privateers.
article 3. The entering and remain
ing for more than twenty -four hours
in the ports of the realm is forbidden
to vessels of war or priyateers with
prizes, unless in cases OF necessity
through stress of weather. When this
latter happens, the authorities will
watch the vessel, and obligc her to go
to sea as soon as possible without per-
hitting her to take any more supplies
than for present necessity, but on no
account either arms of munitions of
war.
"Article 4. Effects taken from the
prizes shall not be sold III the ports OF
the realm.
Transportation under the Spanish
fac, of all articles of commerce, IS
granted, except when directed to block
aided ports. The carrying of war ma
terjal. papers, or communications Tor
the belligerents is forbidden. Tres
passers shall be responsible for their
acts, and shall have no right to the pro-
lection of my government.
Article g. All Spaniards are forbid
den to enlist in the belligerent army
or to engage themselves to serve on
board vessels of war or priyateers.
Article T. My subjects should re-
frain from every act which, by violat-
ing the laws of the kingdom, may be
considered contrary to neutrality
article s. Transgressors of the
above violations shall have no right to
protection of my government, shall
suffer the consequences of the rules
which the belligerents may prescribe,
and shall be punished as provided by
the laws of Spain.
Given at the palace, on this nth
day Of June, 1861.
