Opinion That Sanguinary Engage
ment VIII Soon Occur.
ROME, jan 30-The Government
has received advices from General Ba-
ratirri, Commander-in-C Chief of the
Italian forces in Abyssinia, showing
that General Baratirri recently sent an
italian trader named Felter to the
camp of Ras Makonnon, the Chief com
manding the native army which invest
ed the town of Makalle demanding the
release of the Italian column under
Colonel Galliano, which was besieged
in Makalle.
Felter was the messenger who ar
rived in General Baratirri's camp a few
days ago bringing letters from Menelik,
King of the Abyssinians, for King
HumbeIt and General Baratirri. He
appears to have been successful in his
mission, for the troops at Makalle were
permitted to withdraw from the town
without being attacked.
Colonel Galliano and his column have
arrived safely at General Baratirri's
camp and they will reinforce the main
body of Italians. They brought with
them their cannon, munitions and bag
gage. At the time General Baratirri
sent his dispatches to the Government
the Abyssinian army was advancing,
and was then within thirty kilometers
Of the outposts of General Baratirri's
forces. A conflict between the opposing
forces was imminent
The Italian forces now number 2S,000
men, with sixty cannon. The Abys-
sinian army is estimated to number
10000 to 10000, some thousands OF
whom are armed with sabers. The
others have weapons of precision, in
Guiding Remington and Winchester
rifles, and in addition have number of
pieces of artillery which were used in
the attacks on Makalle.
It is the opinion in Rome that an en-
gagement that will decide whether or
not the Province of Tigre will be an
nexed to the Italian colony of Fry
therea will shortly be fought.

Stuart Says the Big Fight VIII Surely

Ell PASO CTex.), Jan. 30.-Dan Stuart

Il am in receipt of telegram from
the City Of Mexico denying the report
from that point sent out last night
about the ordering out of the rurales
troops. Even were this report true
there is nothing in it to discomfort me
in the least. His excellency President
Diaz, in this report, is made to appear
unduly exercised. He will have no oc-
casion to worry any over the matter
I am over $4,000 out of pocket by rea-
son of the Hot Springs affair, and pride
myself on the possession of a suffi-
GENTLY amount of ordinary intelligence
to have profited by the experience.
Every dollar of the purses offered for
the five fights scheduled is up. This
money goes to the fighters whether
they get into the ring or not. Think,
do 1 look a fool? Would 1 tie up all
this money on a gamble or a chance?
Were / to divulge the place Of meeting
I of course could easily assuage the fears
of President Diaz and the other digni-
taries who fear an invasion of carnival
visitors. / do not care to be serving
notices on the public every few minutes,
and now give it out as an absolute GER
tainty that all of the fights will take

OREGON MURDERERS.
Four Executions Were Set for To-day.
But Only Two VIII Take Place,


PORTLAND orr, Jan. 3O.-By a
singular coincidence of the courts, there
were to have been four executions of
Oregon murderers tomorrow. Those
who were to have paid the highest PEN
atty exacted by law are Lloyd Mont
gomery, Samuel G. Brown, John Fei-
ster and Charles Asimus.
One of the executions that will take
place however, is that Of Charles Ash
mus, who will be hanged at 9:30 o'clock
tomorrow morning at Kalama, on the
Washington side Of the Columbia, near
Portland. The crime for which Asimus
fcrfeits his life was the killing of Jack
Greenwood at Coffin Rock.
John Feister the Josephine County
wife-murderer, escaped the gallows by
being sent to the insane asylum at
Salem. Feister held his wife's head in
a pool of water until she drowned, with
their little children looking on.
If Sam G.. Brown, the Douglas County
murderer. who broke jail, were caught,
he would be hanged tomorrow, but
since his second escape from Jail at
Roseburg he seems to have eluded re-
capture SO well that there is little like
lihood he will be tai en- soon.
Lloyd Montgomery, the murderer of
his parents and Daniel McKercher at
Brownsville, completes the quartet. The
execution of Montgomery will take
place at Albany this forenoon, the ex-
act hour not having yet been an
nounced The murderer's little sister
and brother visited him in his cell last
night. He wept bitterly at parting with
them. He announced that he will die
bravely, but a breakdown is expected.
His indifference at present is termed a
species of hysteria uncommon.

LONDON, Jan. 30-The CONSTANT

ceived from Marash confirming the
stories that a great slaughter occurred
III the recent battle between the Turk
ish troops and the Armenians, who had
captured and held the town of Zeitoun.
The exact number of the dead is not
known, but it can be stated with GER
tainty that it was very large.
Twelve hundred wounded men have
already reached Marash, and many
more are following them to that place
Many of the wounded have died either
in Marash or along the road from Zei-
toun. a number Of prisoners have been
taken to Marash. Their treatment was
something awful. All sorts of indig-
mites were heaped upon them, and in
large number of cases they were SO
shockingly ill-treated that it is impos-
sible to publish details
The Governor Of Marash has again
tried to bring about a reconciliation be-
tween the Turks and the Armenians in
Zeitoun. but his efforts have been in
vain.
Most of the prominent Armenians in
the village have been arrested

NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-The most con-
centrated effort to haul the big A1neri-
can line steamship st. Paul out of her
helpless condition on the beach ait Long
Branch was made this morning, and
after two hours hard labor, the work
was. temporarily suspended on account
Of the tide. The change in her position
at the end of two hours. as it appeared
from the shore. was not more than five
feet. The men in charge OF the work
for the Merritt WTrecking Company are
now almost discouraged, for they had
depended upon an extraordinary high
tide this morning. The direction of the
wind, however. prevented the water
from rising to the desired hight. All
the other conditions were about the
same as yesterday. It is said now on
good authority that the wrecking peo-
pie do not expect to see the St. Paul
