Long Creek has been having great re.
ligious revivals. Over 100 conversions
are reported.
Mutton sheep are being purchased in
Southern Oregon for Portland markets
for from $1.25 to $3.50 per head.
The discovery Of coal in great
abundance in Grant county is reported.
1t is Ignite in character. II true, the
extension of the railroad to the mine
in the near future is probable.
The southern part Of Josephine coun-
ty will yield more gold this season
than for many years past. Old mines
are being operated that have lain idle
for long time, and everything points
toward a revival Of the mining indus
try.
Some years ago Frank Dekum, Of
Portland, procured from Europe a
large number Of nightingale songsters,
which were turned loose through the
state They are said to be thriving
and are5 now in districts where they
are seen for the first time.
Railroad rumors are rife on the
Lower klamath. A party of seven or
eight men were discovered last week
from Eureka with transits, levels and
all the apparatus necessary for making
a preliminary survey. After a few
days they returned to Eureka.

A Umatilla county stockman says
that it looks worse for stoclmen in
that section than any time for a great
many years. There is no grass on the
range, owing to the dry summer, and
there was no hay to speak of grown on
the uplands. There is no bunch grass
ut present and they cannot sell any
cattle or sheep as they are too poor for
beef or mutton. He believes that a
large number Of cattle, horses and
sheep will starve this winter. 1t is re-
ported in the sheep district that the
scab is spreading.

Await Further News.

London, Dec. 30. The afternoon pa
pers today, comment editorially at
length on the Venezuelan matter, but
their remarks are on the financial
rather than the political phase. While
there is no abatement Of expressions Of
belief that the ground taken by the
United States is untenable, the tone
is altogether more pacific. Yet there
is considerable display Of satisfaction
at financial difficulties in the United
States.
Business during the day was exceed
ingly quiet on the exchange. Operators
generally were disposed to await fur
ther news from the United States.
American stocks, however, closed

ADVANCE
THE CAPITAL CITY OF CUBA IN
IMMINENT DANGER.

An Army of 10000 Insurgents March on
to Havana In Spite Of the Efforts Of
Captain-GeneraI Martinez de Campos
"A Cuban Victory.
Havana, Dec. 27.-Further details
reached here today from Matanzas Of
the rapid advance of the insurgent
army, numbering about $4,000 men,
upon Havana after forcing its way
through the province Of Santa Clara
and into the province of Matanzas, in
spite Of the efforts of Captain General
Martinez de Campos and about 5000
troops at his disposal in the territory
invaded.
The reported important battle be-
tween the Spaniards under Campos and
the insurgents at Coliseo plantation.
twelve miles from Cardenas. does not
appear to have been a very severe
engagement. Cardenas is a seaport,
and quiet an important place for Cuba,
Of about 40, 900 inhabitants. lis only
twelve miles from Matanzas, the capi-
tai Of the province Of that name, and
the largest town between Cardenas and
Havana.
The Spanish forces do not appear TO
have encountered the main body of the
insurgents. as at first announced. The
fight at the Coliseo plantation was be-
tween portion of the northern column
Of the insurgent columns. now pushing
through the province of Matanzas, and
instead of turning out to be a great
victory for the Spaniards, the result Of
the engagement was virtually de-
feat for Campos' forces, for the Cuban
army pushed onward unchecked, and is
still advancing on the city.
The fighting took place amid burning
cane, underwood, tall grass and trees,
and was Of the usual guerilla nature.
At times both the troops and insur-
gents were surrounded by walls of
flames, and the smoke was 80 dense
over certain portions of the ground con-
tested that the Cubans and the troops
were unable to see each other, and kept
banging away at open space, wasting
good ammunition. 1t is true that this
indiscriminate ring was more noticed
upon the part Of the troops than on the
side Of the insurgents, but for one in
surgent killed, at least 1000 shots
must have been fred. The Cuhans,
following their customary tactics,
seemed to melt away into the distance
as soon as the troops got within fight
ing distance of them, and nealry all
the firing was at very long range, al
though the soldiers made several gall
LIANT charges through the burning terri
tory. This style Of fighting is termed
a defeat for the insurgents, but as they
succeeded in accomplishing their object
holding the Spaniards in check while
the Cuabns pushed on southward-the
result was really Cuban victory.
The oaptain.general was as near to
the front as possible throughout the
battle, encouraging the troops by words
and actions. One Of the captain-gen-
erals orderlies, who was sitting on his
horse beside Campos, received a
bullet in his breast and fell to the
ground badly wounded. The shot was,
no doubt, intended for the Spanish
commander

The Disabled Steamship Has Reached
Port Townsend.
Port Townsnd, Wash, Dec. 27.-The
steamship Strathnevis. which sailed
from Tacoma October IL for the Orient
and was about given up for lost, ar
rived in port at 10 o'clock last night,
in tow of the steamer Mineola. The
officers report remarkable voyage, one
filled with danger and privations, and
Monday afternoon last all hope Of saw
ing the vessel was abandoned, and life
RATS and boats were manned, and pre-
parations made for leaving the vessel,
as she was in imminent danger of
drifting ashore on Destruction island,
where certain death stared them in
the face.
Now that the Strathneyis is safe,
grave fears are entertained for the
safety of the Australian steamship
Miowera, which had the Strathnevis
in tow for FIVE days. The captain of
the Miowera personally assured the
chief officer of the disabled steamship
that his vessel would stand by at all
hazards to render assistance in saving
lives.
Ten miles of Cape Flattery last
Friday afternoon, during a violent
gale, the two steel hawsers parted
suddenly. and the Miowera disappeared
in the storm. The Miowera had the
Strathnevis in tow five days and had
exhausted the larger part of her fuel.
The master told the captain Of the
Strathnevis that the Miowera would
have to return to Puget sound for
coal.

Boston, Dec. 28.-There was no
ticeable reaction from the panicky con-
dition Of last weeks market at the
opening this morning. 1t is believed
the worst is over. The advance in
prices noted during the first few min
utes Of business was not seriously
broken, and feeling Of greater con-
fldence was apparent.

A smelter company has been organ
lied to commence operations early in

The surface indications in the oil
fields in East Kootenai are considered
good. Two different qualities of oil
lave been obtained. On Kishneena
creek, short distance north of the in
ternational boundary line, black oil
similar to the Pennsylvania and Ohio
oils, is found. But on Sage creek,
some eight miles north, there is found
an oil that is nearly pure, of light
yellow color. which will burn in a
lamp as it comes from the ground.
Close by there is natural gas escaping
from bedrock which burns freely on
ignition. Some of the oil sent to the
geological museum at Ottawa, caused
considerable excitement and comment,
and was pronounced fraud on ac-
count Of its purity.

1t is calculated by the most con-

the present payroll for labor alone in

CHARLES JOY.

CHARLES JOY.
Charles Joy, an aged and esteemed citi-
zen OF Ellsworth, died Sunday at the
home OF his daug hter, Mrs. George K.
| Campbell, which has been his home for
several years. Mr.. Joy was in the eighty
fifth year OF hi; age. Death was due TO
his advanced years, though up to within
six weeks OF his death he was able to be
about, and WAS a familiar and beloved fig
ure in the city.
Charles Joy was born in Surry. Nov. II,
ISL. As young man he learned the
hlac ksmith S trade, and was soon engaged
in business for himself in Ellsworth He
was master al his trade, and old ship
masters and carpenters and captains still
speak Of his workmanship IN ironing a
vessel
Industry and business honesty brought
its material reward, and Mr.. Joy was one
OF the prosperous men OF Ellsworth. He
WAS large owner OF vessel property,
which in those years was valuable. Mr..
Joy continued in active business unt4l
about fifteen years ago, when he retired.
Though possessing but common
school education, Mr.. JOY, in the midst
OF an active life, had improved many
moments with books and papers, until he
was recognized as one OF the brightest and
best read citizens in the community.
His love for reading continued to his
later years, and he was permitted to enjoy
it until but very short time before his
death. He read intelligently, and formed
his own Judgment from what he read.
He was well posted on questions of the
present day, and his remarkable memory
enabled him 10 call clearly TO mind issues
of national important in past years. He
studied and weighed things carefully in
his mind before expressing an opinion,
and MS Judgment was inyaria bly, good.
In personality ne was tine soul of integ-
rity, strictly upright in ell things,
whether great or small. HIS was a char
aeter worthy Of emulation.
Mr.. Joy served his native town otSurry
and the city of Ellsworth in various pub
lie capacities. He was representative to
the state legislature from Surry and
maintained at the State capital the repu-
