MEN IN WHITMAN COUNTY JAIL.
Herbert Repentant. Leonard ResiGn-
ed and Schearer Uneasy.

Colfax. Sept. 4.-WillIam Herbert, the
alleged desperate and horse thief. was
to have been arraigned in the superior
court to-day but is seriously i'll with
measles. The arraignment will not oc-
cur until next week. Mrs. Herbert is
standing by her husband faithfully ami
Is doing all she can to secure his ac-
quittal. She is stopping with the fam
lily of Deputy Sheriff Matlock. who lives
in the basement Of the court house, ami
spends a great portion of her time in
the Jail with her husband, whom she
seems to adore. She expresses hope
that her husband will escape with "A
fine and Jail sentence. and declares her
intention to remain with him SO long
as she can add to his comfort.
William Schearer, the 19-year-old
youth who is awaiting trial on a charge
OF criminal assault. was arraigned to-
day. but asked for time In which to
plead, Owing to Monday being a legal
holiday. he will be again brought before
the court and arraigned Tuesday. The
evidence against Schearer is strong. He
was only recently released from the re-
form school.
Jack Leonard. the condemned muir
derer of Jacob Malquist. returned to
Colfax last night in company of Sheriff
Sims and Prosecuting Attorney Mat
thews. He is quiet and seems to have
given up all hope. 1t is not yet known
when he will be resentenced.

The first match is scheduled for Fri.

II. Is and 20, on the grounds of the Ger.
mantown Cricket Club in this city. It d
not unlikely that the Englishmen will
have their hands full with the local
players, who have met in England most
of those who are to contest with them
here and, in baseball parlance, are "on
to their curves" Having the spur Of
local support to urge them on and the
probability Of less depressing weather
than they encountered in England, they
look forward to giving their British
brethren a good drubbing. The cricket.
ers in the Metropolitan district Of
Greater New York, comprising Staten
island, Brooklyn and Jersey City and
Bayonne, can form a very strong eleven
and it would not be surprising should
these places combine on their best tai.
ent, II they should give the Englishmen
a hard battle. In Chicago special at.
tempts will be made to collect thor.
oughly trained team and show the Wis
itors that the Atlantic seaboard does
not possess all the good cricketers Of
America. Toronto and Boston are
equally wide awake on the subject.

IN BEHALF OF CUBA's FREEDOM.
Captain smith Thinks 1t VIII Ulti-
mntely he secured.

Chicago, sept. Though sworn to a
temporary secrecy as to the evidence he
gave before the committee on foreign
relations in Washington recently, Cap
tain ID. W. Smith of the Cuban revolu-
tionary army, the second officer of Gen
eral Maainio Gomez body guard, has at
last seen fit to break silence in regard
to some Of the more important Of the
ends sought to be attained by him in
his mission to this counry as the personal
representative of the commander in chief
of the patriot forces Of Cuba.
None of the testimony that | gave
on Cuban affairs has yet leaked out,
said Captain Smith. Now, however, !
consider myself free to say that a copy
of my testimony was sent to President
Mckinley for his consideration, and our
friends in Washington are now in IL po-
sition to say that the federal admins
tration has finally been brought to see
that Cuba's cause will surely triumph.
That is a great stride in the direction
of the right, but l do not claim it is
solely the result Of the facts impaired
by me. For some time we have suspect
ed that Spain was working tooth and
mail to get President Mckinley to use
his good offices to induce the Cubans to
accept autonomy and abandon the strug
gle for independence. Such attempts on
the part OF Spanish officials are of course
Il confession of weakness, an augury of
impending final defeat and of the loss
Of the island. In my testimony | freely
discussed this matter. For if there is
any one point more than another which
General Gomez and the Cuban patriots
want the people of the United States to
thoroughly realize it is that the Cuban
reyolutionists will never accept mere au-
tonomy, but will keep up the fight until
complete independence is won, no matter
how long drawn out or how costly the
war may prove to be-"

Skaguay. Alaska, Aug. 80. per Steamer
The miners on Skaguay trail put In two
days work on the trail blasting out the
rocks and corduroying wet places and
last night decided to throw the trail
open. Work already done has made
wonderful Improvement. fully 100 per
cent of the first Is miles. bur little work
was done on the third hill. the worst
one on the whole trail and last night at
a meeting 1t was proposed to levy toll
of IS per head on each man going over
for the purpose OF hiring men to open
a cutoff where considerable blasting
has to be done, but which would save
three and a half miles and dodge the
worst part on the entire trail. The
meeting broke up In a row. however,
and nothing was accomplished. The
former proposition to throw the trail
open this morning carried by default
and long before daylight the trail was
crowded from the beach to the foot Of
the first hill with swearing miners anx-
ious to be the first to get over the hill.
1t IL predicted that by tomorrow night
there will be 5000 men and horses at
the foot Of the first hill unable to get
over and after they have had a day to
consider they will go to work on the
cutoff and put 1t through. MIR. Scovel
has stored the remainder OF the blast
ing powder and tools In a tent at the

soon as they are ready to use 1t.

break the blockade at Skaguay have
failed utterly. Advices received by the
steamer Resale, which left Skaguay
Monday last. arriving here today, state
that when the trail was opened Monday
morning, 1000 men and horses were
striving to get over. Soon the path
was In as bad condition as before 1t was
repaired. Where the road had been
corduroyed over the miry places, logs
slipped out and horses went founder
tng into the mire, many OF them never
to emerge. These statements were
made today by Harry Fredericks, well
known in this city. who spent some
weeks at Skaguay. returning today. He
says that hundreds OF those at Skagu-
~ have given up all hope Of getting
through this winter and will stay till
February at the foot OF the pass. Hun

monious throughout, and Justice ChaS

look for recognition from the republican
