Defended a Hospital.

New York, May 31.-A special to
the World from Key West says: A
Cuban hospital near Matrua, Havana
province, was attacked by Spanish
guerillas. The insurgents were in
formed of their approach, and, as some
of the wounded could not be moved,
those able to get about fortified the
building, which is of stone, as well as
they could.
When the guerillas demanded the
surrender of the place the inmates re-
piled with a volley, killing five Span
iards. The soldiers then set fire to the
wooden portion of the building, but
the stone part remained intact, and the
beseiged made such valiant fight that
the enemy finally retreated.
Sixteen guerllas raided a camp of
pacificos in Matanzas province and car
ried off seven women. One day one of
the women managed to secure some
kind of poison, which was put in the
food kettles of the band, and every
guerilla died in agony.
Colonel Rodriguez and $50 Cubans
attacked Casiquas, near Jarucoa last
Tuesday, drove off the garrison and
looted the place.

. FLOODS IN THE SOUTH.
ihe Rio Grande Levee Broke at Ell
Paso. Flooding the City.


Dallas, Tex, May 27.-A special
from Ell Paso says that at 10 o'clock
this morning the fire alarm aroused
the people in the lower part of the
city. The levee had broken and the
flood waters of the Rio Grande were
rushing through the city. The levee
that broke was on the canal on Stanton
street. The river has reached its high
est point since 1891. In a few minutes
large force of men was at work try
ing to check the rushing waters with
sacks filled with sand, but second
break above backed up the water on the
workmen, and they had to retire.
The Texas & Pacific railway officials
realizing that hundreds of families
were being flooded from their homes,
backed in large number of empty
freight cars for the accommodation of
the homeless. Not less than 100
houses were swept away, and tonight
several hundred men are at work on "a
levee. They have thrown up an EN-.
bankment to check the advance of the
flood, which is running over one of the
International steret-railway bridges.
The splash of the walls OF falling
houses is mingled with cries of
atfrighted women and children, who
are driven from their homes and NOV
ing to the foothills of Mount Franklin.
Several families are now housed in
freight-cars, standing in sea of water.
Should the improvised levee on Stan
ton street break tonight the water will
flood the business portion of the city.
The ringing of the fire bell this
morning saved the lives of many peo-
pie. who were asleep, ignorant of their
danger.

Lost i'm the Desert.

San Diego, May 2S.-K. Detrick, a
desert prospector, has arrived at Ban
ner, in this county, almost in sane from
having been without food for three
and half days. From the story which
he tells it is quite possible that two
men who were with him on the desert
are now dead.
Detrick and Kerrens had been pros
pecting for year. At Pacheeco they
picked up an old Arizona prospector
named Anderson. The three men ar
rived at Salton on the 18th inst. From
there they set out for the San Jacinto
mountains. Last Thursday Detrick
went on ahead of his companions, but
they failed to follow. He went back
and found their trail, which led out of
the desert toward Yuma. He followed
the trail for 30 miles, and then, turn
ing back, made his way nearly dead to
Banner. A searching party will go out
from here.

SPANISH DEFEATS.
Garcia in Ambush Too Much for the
Government Soldiers.

New York, May 31.-A special to
the World from Havana says: General
Garcia ambushed two detachments of
Spaniards near Vintegas, Puerto Prin-
cipe province. After fight lasting all
OF one day he attacked them at night
and got them separated For a while
they were so confused they fired at
each other One detachment finally
became panic-stricken and fed. Gar
cia fell on the other and defeated it.
infiicting loss of 100. He then pur-
sued the retreating force, and catching
up with them ten miles from the coast,
killed or wounded GA more Spanish.
The Nunez brothers recently cap
tured a Spanish fort near Palacios,
Pinar del Rio, and after occupying it
three days burned it, taking away a
large supply OF ammunition and pro-
visions.
There was also a guerilla fight at
Minas and st. Felipe, Havana PROV
ince, the Cubans under Martinez and
GARLIC compelling the government
troops to retire in both instances. The
Spanish loss is not known, but more
than 200 wounded soldiers have been
brought into Havana since Friday, the
men being brought in at night so as to
avoid observation. The Spaniards say
that GARLIC is wounded, but the report
is not believed.

Floods i'm New Mexico.

Denver, May 27.-A special to the
Republican from Santa Fe, N. M,
says: Rio Grande flood waters have
inundated part OF the town of Socor-
70, flooding the railroad yards, and
scores OF farms and orchards are under
from one to three feet of water The
damage will be very heavy to fruit
trees and crops. Many settlers have
been driven from their homes, and
scarcely hope now to save even their

points to continuance of the floods
for weeks to come. The Santa Fe
company has large force working day
and night to protect its tracks.

INFORMER TOLD 1T ALL.
An Alleged Elaborate Plot to Rob tho
Portland POstOffice.

Portland, May 31.-A remarkable
conspiracy, involving plot to rob the
registry department of the United
States postoffice, in this city, was re-
vealed yesterday. If the sensational
charges are verified it viii prove all the
more extraordinary, from the fact that
most of the prime movers are we'll
known officials.
AT noon yesterday Julian E. Epping,
superintendent of the registry depart
ment of the Portland postoffice, was
placed under arrest, charged with con-
spiracy, and, later in the day, George
T. Watson, deputy sheriff, attached
to Justice McDevitt's court; Charles
A. Watson, city jailer at the police
station; John Simpson, blacksmith,
and Charles W. Holsapple, of the city
detective force, were also arrested on
similar charges. The arrests have
caused great stir, and opinions differ
as to the guilt or innocence of the &C.
cused.
The federal authorities have been
cognizant of the alleged plot for the
past ten days. One of the conspirators
weakened and told Collector of Gus
toms Black, who in turn informed
United States Attorney Murphy.

FIRST VOTE ON TARIFF.
vests Amenement Reducing Rate on
BOracic Acid Defeated.

Washington. May 2S.-The first vote
on the tariff bill was taken in the sem
ate today. 1t came after two hours
debate on the item for boracic acid,
which, although comparatively unim-
portant, afforded an opportunity for the
first alignment of the various elements.
Senator Vest, Democratic member of
the finance committee, moved to make
the rate on boracic acid cents instead
OF cents per pound, as provided by
the committee. This presented a di-
rect issue between the committee and
the opponents of the bill The amend
ment was defeated, "a to 20. The vote
was largely on party lines. The debate
was participated in by Senators Vest,
Jones of Arkansas. Aldrich, Perkins,
White, Caffery, Gray and Stewart.
Senator White, a Democratic member
OF the finance committee, opposed
Vests amendment, urging that the
California industry required the rate
allowed by the committee.
Seven paragraphs of the hill were
considered during the day, the COM
mittee being sustained in each in
3tance.
The resolution was agreed to author
izing the secretary of the navy to en-
ploy any suitable ship in forwarding
relief supplies to India.

BrakeIhan's Carlessness Caused = Bad
Wreck in Colorado.
Denver, May 3l.-A special to the
Times from Glenwood Springs, Colo,
says: An extra freight going west on
the Denver & Rio Grande ran upon
Cabeza siding this morning to allow
No. passenger, the Atlantic express,
to pass The switch was left open.
The first section of the passenger ran
into the open switch, derailing the en-
gine, mail and baggage cars and one
passenger coach.
Engineer John West and Fireman
Denny Donahay were instantly killed.
The passengers were shaken up. Some
had to be rescued through holes cut in
the coach. Some were bruised and
cut, but it is thought none were seri-
Ously injured. All the passengers ON
the wrecked section were brought to
Glenwood on the second section.
The blame for the accident seems to
rest with the brakeman of the freight,
who left the switch open. Engineer
West, seeing the open switch, blew his
whistle, reversed his engine and stuck
to his post. But for his prompt action
many more would have been numbered
among the dead. The accident occur
red at dangerous point on the bank
of the Grand river, where little more
momentum would have precipitated
the entire train into the water.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins & Company's Review
of Trade.

Downing. Hopkins & Company's Review
of Trade.
The past week has added materially
to the previously strong position of
wheat values viewed from the position
OF supplies and demand. The crop
prospect as whole retrograded, but
more particularly in California, where
drought and hot winds have caused
reduction in expected yield of at least
20 per cent, as compared with last
year. Foreign crop prospects are much
poorer, especially in France, where
the estimted yield is $4,000, 900 BUSH
els smaller than last year, and conser-
vative grain dealers predict large inn
portations during the coming crop
year. Values have been firmly held
and while no material advance has oc-
Cured, the market has gained in
strength and receives better support
than during the previous week. The
export demand is fair and improving.
Interior supplies are rapidly dimin-
ishing, and it is now patent fact that
stocks will be reduced to the lowest
possible point before the winter wheat
harvest. Nothing but the absence of
generous speculative support prevents
a material advance in values, but un-
der existing conditions, the scarcity of
supplies in America and the increased
wants of importing countries, owing to
short crops at home, crop failures in
exporting countries other than America,
the ultimate result must be higher
values. The prospects of the spring
wheat crop are good but not sufficient
ly so to offset the short winter wheat
corp, exhausted reserves and increased
wants from abroad. The tendency of
the market even without speculative
support seems slowly but steadily
higher.

Went to Lee for Relief,

Havana, May 27.-A rumor was
circulated in Guanabacoa, near this
city, yesterday, that General Fitzhugh
Lee, the United States consul-general,
was going to distribute money to the
poor. In consequence, about 900 per-
sons gathered in anticipation of receiv-
ing relief. They were advised by the
police that there was no truth in the
rumors, and were ordered to disperse.
The crowds, however, refused to obey,
and the police were compelled to dis
perse them by force.
