WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Colonel A..
A. -Aguira, who is stopping in Washing
ton, says: "The assassination of Cano-
Pas will result in the dethronement Of
the Spanish government and the free
dom of Cuba. The people of Spain are
ripe for revolution, being discontented
over the high taxation which grinds
them down to poverty, and in some
cases to starvation. This is the begin

tempt on the life of the qrlloR.
/ '.There is great dissatisfl Dtion over the
result Of the war in Cuba and to remove
Canovas was the object Of well laid
plans. I am certain that Canovas will
be succeeded by Sagasta, his political
rival and the leader of the Liberal
party. Sagasta will undoubtedly take
Immediate steps to conciliate the Gu
bans by granting them reforms, but il
will be too late. Iexpect to see Cuba
free within 10 days and the republic Of
Spain established soon afterwards"

A series of meetings are to be held all

J. @. Dysart, member of the uni

says the work of securing signatures

possibly win the strike as the mines
still in operation can supply the de-
mand. Some of the coal operators are
getting restless and threaten to attempt
to start their mines this week. w. H.

The chancellor of the exchequer adds
that he cannot say with certainty how

The fair OF the Second E. o. District
Agricultural Association closed last
Saturday evening after a very surce SIS
full tive-days meeting. The attendance
during the fair was not large, owing
no doubt to the farmers all being busy
hauling their wheat to market, nor
were the exhibits what they should
have been, nevertheless the fair may
be considered success.
The attractions on the track Satur-
day afternoon were three good races, a
half mile running race, one mile handi-
cap and three in five trot.
The contestants in the half mile
dash we're Raindrop, Sallie Goodwin.
Gus L. and Siretta. Gus L. won the
race, Siretta second, Sallie Goodwin
third; time 5l!.
The mile handicap was a fine race
between New Moon, LaJah, Alicia and
Imported Indymion. The horses were
pretty evenly matched, and made two
whirls around the track in 1:49, New
Moon winning the race, Indymlon sec
ond, Latah third.
In the three in five trot Allen S.,
Leland w. and Meteor were entered.
The horses come on the track in fine
condition and gave a very pretty exhi-
bit of speed, circling the track like
clock work. each time Allen S. in the
lead, Leland w. second, Meteor third,
time by heats, 2:27, 2:33, 2:29.
There was good attendance at the
pavilion in the evening, aud the fair
was very pleasantly closed with a
musical program rendered by the Or
chestra, song by Mr.. Whiting, illus
trated recitation by Miss Lamar and 4
number of pictures thrown on the can
vas by Mr.. Shields, the views being
of Columbia river scenery and histori-
cal pictures of America.

road over which the farmers of Klicki-

Dalles has subsidized the ferry, and

not but appreciate the effort of The

every possible inducement to come
here-sood roads, free ferriage, two
lines of boats on the river to haul
their wheat to Portland, besidss the
highest price for wheat to be drained
at any point in the Inland Empire,
and the cheapest place in the state at
which to buy their supplies. They
will certainly now bring their wheat
here to market.
