VICTORY FOR CUBANS
A SPANISH COLUMN ANNIHll.
ATED BY INSURGENTS.

The spaniards Were Taken by Surprise
aud Many Rushed Into the River and
Were Drowned-Gunboats sent TO
the Rescue.
Key West, May A notable VIC
tory has been won by the insurgents
under General Calixto Garcia, in the
province of Santiago de Cuba. Ad-
vices received here from Cuba state
that Garcia's forces fell upon the
Spanish column commanded by General
Munoz and almost annihilated it.
The battle occurred near Zanja, on the
banks of the River Cauto. General
Garcia was moving west with 1900
men, intending to cross the river
Munoz, who was at Manzanillo, de.
cided to prevent Garcia crossing. He
led 2,500 Spanish soldiers out of Man.
zanillo and ordered gunboats to proceed
up the river to cooperate. Garcia
heard of Munoz's movements and
effected junction with the columns of
Rabi and Rodinhaus, thereby incress-
ing the forces under his command to
nearly B, 500 men.
Garcia stationed his men near Zanja
and when the Spanish column under
Munoz appeared, struck it in front and
flank. doubling it up on the river. The
Spaniards were taken by surprise, and
many of them rushed into the river and
were drowned. The fire of the insur-
gents also did great execution. When
the humiliation of Munoz' column
seemed certain, the gunboats appeared
and saved the remnants. Over 800 of
Munoz' men were killed by the insur-
gents bullets. or drowned, and about
400 were wounded. The Spaniards re-
treated down the river to Manzanillo,
protected by the gunboats. The insur-
gent loss was small. General Garcia
then crossed the Cauto and is now pro-
ceeding west.

Fugitives From This Country Will Get
No Comfort There.
City of Mexico. May 5.-In the case
of the Chester Rowe, of Poweshiek
county, Iowa, accused Of embezzling
public moneys, judge Aguelar last
evening imposed sentence of twelve
years and two months imprisonment
in Belim prison. This case has been a
notable one in the history of Mexican
jurisprudence, as Rowe, after commit
ting the offense, came here and took
out papers of citizenship, hoping thus
to evade punishment But under the
penal code, an offense committed
abroad and continued on Mexican soil
is punishable. and Rowe's case will
serve as a warning for criminals hop
in to find safe asylum in Mexico.
Lawyer Alfore, for the plaintiff, said
Rowe cnly made himself a Mexican
citizen to evade punishment that
awaited him for misappropriatiDg
funds to the extent of $4,000. He
had deserted his family, having sent
his wife but $50 from here. His de-
tenders claim that their client was not
wholly answerable for the alleged
crime committed in the United States.
The case was appealed to the superior
court, but it is generally believed
among lawyers here that the decision
will be sustained.
Mr.. Blackstone, who came from lows
to prosecute the case, says the Ameri
can people will warmly approve th'
decision which stamps Mexico, as
law unfolding country.

Professor Lowell and His Party Will
Begin Work In Mexico in July.
Chicago, May 5.-Sixty thousand
dollars has been expen led in the con-
struction and equipment Of a great OBJ
servatory, and number of years of
the valuable time of two noted astron-
omers and their assistants will be de-
voted to what is expected to prove the
most important astronomical expedi.
tion of the century. Peoival Lowell,
of Boston, has built the observatory
and great telescope, and will be one of
the principal SCIENTISTS on the expedi-
tion. DR.. T. J. See, of the university
of Chicago, will be the other. Both
are scientists of renown.
Their operations will begin in July
from the movable observatory to be
erected on the lofty Mexican plateau
near the City of Mexico, and will prob.
ably be continued in 1898, somewhere
down in Peru.
The objects of the expedition are
twofold. Mr.. Lowell will study the
planet Mars in a systematic way, that
has seldom been pursued and DR.. See
will search the southern heavens for
double stars in the hope of doing there
what Burnham, of Chicago, has done
for the northern skies
The observatory will have one of the
most powerful telescopes in the world.

SHIPMENTS OF FRUIT.
Marion County Growers Looking
Towards Eastern Markets.


Salem, Or, May 5.-There were
shipped from Salem last season twenty.
two carloads of green fruit. Fruit
dealers have predicted that there will
be much heavier shipments this year,
if the yield proves as good as that of
last season. This is scarcely expected
now, especially in the line OF prunes.
The orchard acreage has been largely
increased in this section, however An
Eastern market has been established,
and fruit-shipping will again be re-
sumed as the season opens.
The Oregon Fruit q Produce Com
pany last year shipped from Salem to
Eastern markets seventeen carloads of
green fruit. This company handles
fruit on consignment. After packing
and defraying the expenses incident to
shipping, the net proceeds 60 to the
fruitraiser. The case of one grower ID
given who furnished 2,678 crates, real.
izipg net therefor $592. 81 or 22 1-6
cents per crate. The fruit consisted OF
peach plums, Columbias, Hungarian,
Washington plums, and silver prunes.
The shipments were made at different
periods Of the season, as the fruit
ripened and it is considered fair av.
erage of what growers could have real.
lied on the same classs of fruit.
Another grower shipped L. ,442 crates
of Italian prunes, which netted him "a
cents per crate. This lot was also
shipped at different periods. Peach
plums usually average the grower 2(
cents.
James Kyle, of the Oregon Fruit &
Produce Company, whose interests de
mand close attention to the condition
of the fruit industry, says of the out
look:
From personal examination c.
several orchards in this vicinity, i
can be said the Italian prune crop will
be failure. The petite crop will b,
very light; some orchards will yielt
none. while others will produce one
fourth crop. Pears have been dam
aged by frost and the cold rains. Th
Royal Ann and Black Republical
cherry crop bids fair, but all the earle
varities are killed. 1t is very hard t.
tell anything of the apple crop yet
The prospect is for fair price thi

Amending Chinese exclusion Law.

Washington, May 4.-The secretary
of the treasury today sent to the house
draft of the bill amending the Chin
ese exclusion law. 1t provides that in
cases affecting the rights of Chinese to
enter or remain in the United States,
or where persons of Chinese descent
claim the right to re-enter the United
States as citizens, there shall be re-
ouired testimony other than that OF
Chinese persons In cases where atfi-
davits are taken before notaries public
or justices of the peace, and are proven
false. the persons making them shall
be liable to perjury. In explanation
of the necessity for such law. the Sec
retary says that in many instances the
Chinese apply for admission to the
! United States ON the ground that they
were born in this country and visited
China with their parents at an early
age. where they remained for many
wears. and in every instance the testi
mony of Chinese persons in support O
their claims is presented. 1t has beel
held by the courts that such testimony
when uncontradicted, is sufficient Il
establish the claims.
