THE CHAMPION HOSE TEAM.
They Were Royalty Received on Their
Arrival Home.

They Were Royalty Received on Their
Arrival Home.
The arrival of the Regulator last
night was announced by the booming
of cannon and all manner of noises
that were possible for human ingenuity
aided by steam to produce. When
Capt. McNulty. who was in command
of the Regulator, rounded Crates point
he opened the whistle valve on the
boat, announcing that the gallant
vessel, that5is the pride Of The Dalles,
with its precious freight, The Dalles
hose team, who are now the champions
of the Northwest, was soon to land.
This was signal for the reception to
begin, and Dick Nolan opened up his
battery on the beach, belching forth
the glad announcement that our cham
pions were nearing home. Simultan-
eous with the booming of cannon,
every steam whistle in the city began
sending forth shrill shrieks, and the
noisiest one of all was the rock crusher
engine which had been supplied with
five whistles of different tone, that
fairly rent the air with their noise
making contrivances.
In less than no time, all The Dalles
had congregated on the wharf, at least
5000 patriotic citizens having as
sembled to welcome the champions.
Scarcely had the boat effected land
ing, when the concert band struck up
lively air which was continued while
the team was disembarking and being
comfortably seated in the Umatilla
house bus, which had been specially
decorated for the occasion. Then the
procession started. 1t was lead by
Mayor Menefee and Chief Fletch Faulk-
ner followed by the band. Next came
the bus with the hose team, followed
by the racing cart, hauled by citizens
with Capt. Lewis and DIR. Sidell, two
of the "old boys" who used to be fire.
men, tuging at the ropes in the lead.
After them came the hose carriages
of the different companies, gaily fes-
toned with yellow and white, the colors
of the victorious team, and following
the apparatus was some hundred
bicyclists, prominent among whom
was .ex-Postmaster Nolan carrying a
new broom.
The procession marched up Court |
street to Second. then down Second to |
the Wasco warehouse, then facing
about returned down Second to Union,
then down Union to the Umatilla house |
where the banquet was spread. AS
the procession returned, Second street |
was made as light as day by display
of fireworks in front of A. M. Williams
& Co.'S. and w. A. Johnston's stores
and the burning of red lights in front of
Blakely & Houghton's and Snipes &
Kinnersly's drug stores.
When the team reached the Umatilla
house they were cordially welcomed
by Col. Sinnott, who lead the way to
the spacious dining hall, where spreads
had been laid for the team and their
guests. Capt. r. j. Sinnott of the
hose team, was seated at the head OF
the table, with Mayor Menefee seated
at the opposite end of the festal board.
The table fairly groaned with the
viands spread upon it, and the good
cheer it carried added to the zest of
those preeent, creating general en-
thusiasm. Toasts were offered and re-

I
must fight this war alone and unaided
We can win our independence while
the executive of the United States is
considering the question of our posi-
BILE belligerency.
81 have no doubt of the sympathy Of
the American people as whole. In
fact, 1 have the best evidence of their
good will. Many Americans are fight
ing in my-ranks, and good, true men
they are. The chief of cur artillery is
an American from Boston and no
braver man lives"
GAS certain of it as 1 am that Cuba
is an island, but must fight the battle
| my own way. l know that we are
called guerrilas; that some people
marvel because we prefer to fight from
ambush, but we are in this war to win.
Ammunition is scarce and l think I
know how to use it to advantage.
Cuba is ours now. 1t is true the Span
iards hold most of the seaport cities
and some of the interior towns, but in
the latter they are getting very tired.
We don't let them stop much, and now
We will see that they do less. The
city of Puerto Principe is hungry now;
Quarantine is suffering and Victoria de
las Tunis is nearly starved. Sabancu
is abandoned. The cattle of Camaguey
and Santiago de Cuba provinces are
out of the reach of the Spaniards, and
from this time forth there will be no
more carrying of fruit and vegetables
into the cities by paci6cos. We will
have no more pacifcos.r Every man
on this island must be for Cuba for for

Naphtha Launch Explodes With Fatal
Results.
MARSHFIELD, Or, Aug. 22.-News
of one of the most terrible fatalities
that has ever happened in this locality
reached town this morning when the
Gardiner stage arrived. Captain
Wylie, wife and child 3 months old
were the victims of the sad accident,
caused by the explosion of gasoline
launch belonging to w. A. Reed, on
Smith river. II. Sengstacken, of
Marshfield; r. H. Pickering, of Port
land, and Charles Meade, of Gardiner,
had mot 10 minutes before gotten off
the ill-fated launch.
Messrs. Sengstacken, Pickering and
Meade left Captain Wylie at the Sher-
rett place at 1:20 A. NJ. He had left
his three passengers about 10 minutes
behind when he ran on rock. Here
the fatal accident happened. The gas
oline gave out, and the captain at
tempted to fill the supply tank from
smaller one. The liquid evidently
took fire before the explosion occurred.
as John Graham, the deckhand, and a
boy IA years old, saw what was about
to happen and jumped overheard. The
captain started to take his family, but
before he could do so the tank became
heated and exploded.

THE FIKEMEN's TOURNAMENT.
Closed at Astoria Saturday with Very Ex-
citing Races.


citing Races.
ASTORIA, Or, Aug. 22.-The fire.
mems tournament was brought to
close this afternoon, after most ex-
citing days sport. The day was un-
comfortably warm, but notwithstand-
ing this fact, the streets were thronged
with spectators during the entire day.
The first event was the dry test con-
test, which was captured by Astoria in
As 2-5 seconds; Oregon City second, in
1890; The Dalles and Fourteenth in
fantry teams running tie in 46 1-5.
Liberty, of Portland, met with an ac-
cident, and their time was not taken.
The make-and.b break contest was also
won by the local team in 1:26 1-5;
Fourteenth infantry second, in 1:39;
Liberty, third, in 1881. The tender
race, hub and hub, was won by Astoria
No. l. Then came the big event of
the touruament-the championship
race. The Dalles led off, making
1:23 2-5, and were followed by the As
torians, whose coupling became
jammed, throwing them out of the
race. The Fourteenth infantry team
could do no better than 1:26, and 1884
was the best that Liberty could place
to their credit. Oregon City was also
unfortunate in this race, one of their
couplings breaking while the hose was
coming off the cart. This gave the
championship to The Dalles, victory
which was very popular, owing in
some measure to the fact that The
Dalles had previously been unsuccess-
full. After the racing was brought to
a close, test of the water pressure
made, 10 streams being thrown in the
air to height of 1856 feet. The visit
ing teams were much impressed by the

Considerable Uneasiness is Prevailing in
Wall street.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Considerable
uneasiness prevails in Wall street to-
day on account of the report of distress
among merchants and urgent need of
finances. Estimates of a reduction of
$3,OOO,O 900 to 100000 in tomorrow's
reserve in the bank statement and a
corresponding heavy shrinkage in de-
posits have encouraged the expecta-
tion of an early issue of clearing house
certificates by the banks. A careful
canvass of the leading bank officials
has elected the unanimous expression
of opinion that there was no need for
an issue of certificates at the present,
and such an issue will only be made in
case of extreme necessity. A limited
market is reported today for choice
grades of mercantile paper at per
cent. Time money is an unknown
quantity at 6 per cent and commits
sions. Private cable reports an ad-
vance of one-eighth to us 10td in the
