FALL CAMPAIGN IN CUeA.
Opened by the Landing of Three Large
Expeditions.

New York, Sept. 23.-The Journal
and Advertiser prints the following:
The Cuban junta has received advices
of the safe landing on different parts of
Cuba of three big expeditions between
the 1st and 18th of the present month.
They were the most important that had
beer dispatched since last winter, and
great joy prevails at the headquarters
of the junta, where the news arrived
that they had eluded the Spanish, who
were believed at one time to have been
on their track.
The three ships carried large guam
tity of dynamite and other munitions,
together with an immense supply OF
medicines for the army of patriots. In
all there were over 40 men on board,
going either to join the Cuban army Tor
the first time or returning to the ranks.
There were two doctors and two den
lists.
Three of the most important mem
bers of the expedition were Carlos
Dubel, Carlos Duonocose and j. l..
Ahumada, former officers of the Chilean
army, who had been in New York fol
several weeks awaiting an opportunity
to 60 to Cuba to help in the fight fol
independence. Among the leaders were
Brigadier-General Rafael .Cardenas
Major Coronado, the editor of the
Havana paper La Discussion, who hao

the Tribune from Columbia, S. c.,
says: Andrew Smith and wife, col
ored, living near Donalds, Abbeville
county, locked in their house six chill
dren, the youngest of whom was 1s
months old and the eldest z years.
The parents went to church. An hour
later neighbors heard frightful screams
coming from Smiths house, the inter
ior of which was in flames. Negroes
made heroic efforts to save the child
rem, but it was impossible to reach
them, and all perished. 1t is supposed
that an oil lamp burning was over,

year-old daughter of Mrs. Bartemus, OF
Mullan, Idaho, was fatally burned yes
terday. While Mrs. Bartemus was
away from the home the child under
took to build fire. She poured coal
oil on the wood and spilled some of the
oil on her clothing. When she struck
a match her clothing ignited. She ran
into the street, closely followed by her
older brother, who was i'll with measles.
He tried to smother the flames but was
unsuccessful. The clothing was almost
entirely burned from the child's body.
To ease her frightful pain, physicians
administered ohloroform. She died a
few hours later. The mother is pros

to India-The Ameer's Treachery-
Battle in Rawat Pass.
London, Sept. 21.-The fact that no
less than 10 batteries of horse and field
artillery have been ordered to embark
for India during the months of Septem-
Der and October is much commented
upon in military circles Under or
dinary circumstances, the four batteries
now in India would have been relieved
this month. These batteries will re-
main in India and therefore there will
be shortly IA batteries of artillery,
full complement for army corps. AS
the British force now assembled on the
frontier is of ample strength to wipe
out all visible resistance. the only con-
clusion that can be reached in relation
to the dispatch of reinforcements of ar
tillery is that the authorities are pos
sessed of information of serious char
acter.
The information conveyed by the
war Office Monday last to the London
commercial agent of the ameer Of At
ghanistan, that no war material or ma
chinery for the manufacture thereof
would be allowed to cross the frontier
during the present crisis, indicates that
the British government has by no
means entire confidence in the ameer' s
fidelity, and it is hinted that the gov
.ernment has learned that while pro-
Tossing friendliness to Great Britain,
he has been secretly preparing for war.
Well informed circles are also dis.

ence between Russia and Afghanistan.

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

The renewed export demand has bee,
the dominating factor in the wheai
market during the last week. The for.
ward movement of the new crop ha,
been disappointing both in quantity
and in quality, but has been suffi' I
GENTLY large to warrant the expecta,
tion of fair increase in stocks at CEN
ters of accumulation. The market is
lacking in speculative support, the vol
ume of speculation having fallen to the
minimum. This serves to emphasize
the legitimacy of the present advance.
There has been no change in crop pros
PEGS in America and we still maintain
that the present crop will be the second
largest raised in the history Of this
country From speculative point OF
view the market now possesses two
sides. There is no longer any doubt
that Europe requires all of our avail
able surplus. We cannot meet this in
creased draft and at the same time re-
plenish our at present depleted reserves
in all positions. But it must be re-
membered that Europe has already
bought largely and that her necessi-
titles are not entirely for the immediate
present but for the entire crop year.
The increasing movement of the new
crop promises to more than Offset the
demand for the time and result in in
creasing stocks.
Corn is king. This has been and is
a year of prosperity and advancing
values. 1t is futile to talk of surplus
supplies or the growing crop. The for
mer is unprecedentedly large. The
latter promises to be much smaller than
anticipated, but neither will have but
temporary influence on values. We
are emerging form period of depres-
sion and panic. Every other commod-
ity is advancing in value. Corn is
going to participate in the general ad-
vance. 1t has been selling too low. 1t
is going to sell higher. The shortage
in the wheat, rye and potato crops of
the world insures the substitution of
corn as food product to an extent
never before known To argue that
corn is going to sell lower is to main
tain that the panic still exists. Every
one knows better.

ROLLER MILLS BURNED.
The Loss Is Estimated to Be Fully Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars.


Pendleton, Sept. 22.-The Pendleton
roller mills, ). 500 barrels capacity,
owned by w. s. Byers, was destroyed
by fire this morning. The fire is sup
posed to have started in q small smut
room in the first story, seen BY the
night watchman, who could not reach
it, SO awoke the other employees.
The fire spread very rapidly, and was
seen by the night engineer in the
weolen and securing mill near, who
whistled an alarm. The fire depart
ment soon responded, but by this time
the large building was mass OF flame
and nothing could be done except to
save adjoining property.
At one time the $4,000 courthouse
on the block opposite was smoking, but
the mill walls fell in and the firemen
were able to save the courthouse. The
firemen had great difficulty from burst
ing hose, and were handicapped by a
large crowd and the excitement of the
people.
The contents of a stone warehouse
near the mill were greatly damaged
and almost ruined. The corrugated iron
warehouse was totally destroyed.
The loss is at least 5000, 900, half on
the plant and half on wheat, -four and
other property. In the mill elevator
go, 900 bushels of wheat were burned,
and in the stone warehouse 25, ,O0O
bushels of wheat and 2,000 barrels OF
-four. There was no insurance, save
$50, 900 on the mill building and
machinery. The stone warehouse was
supposed to be fireproof, but the intense
heat fired the contents. Only part oi
the machinery was running at the time
cleaning wheat, and no one was awake
| in the mill save the night watchman
The fire was due, it is supposed, tt
spontaneous combustion.

CUBA Musfs BE FREE.
Minister Woodford Insists That Spain
End the War.

Paris, Sept. ga dispatch from
San Sebastian to LIE Temps, this city,
says that in his interview yesterday
with the Duke of Tetuan, Spanish min
lister for foreign affairs, United States
Minister Woodford did not present any
claim for indemnity, but confined the
interview to a statement OF the great
injuries commerce and industry had
suffered in the United States through a
prolongation of the Cuban war.
General Woodford is said to have
added that Secretary Sherman had de-
sired him to declare to the Spanish gov
ernment that it was evidently impos-
sible for Spain to end the rebellion in
reasonable time, and, further, that II
the war was continued. Cuba would be
devastated and of no utility to Spain or
to the Cubans. In conclusion, the
United States minister is reported to
have insisted courteously but firmly
upon the necessity Of terminating the
war, declaring if it were not termin-
ated by the end of October the United
States would feel justified in taking
measures to secure the independence OF
Cuba. The Duke of Tetuan, according
to dispatch to LIE Temps, while pro-
testing against the alleged American
"pretensions, said he would reply
officially to the United States MINISTER
when the Spanish court returns to
Madrid
