FAMINE RELIEF uNwELcoME.
City Of Everett shamefuIiy Treated nj
Calcutta.

Duluth, Nov. Captain Alexander
McDougall, general manager of the
American Steel Barge Company, is in
receipt of letter from Captain l.. La
Varge, master Of the whaleback steam
ship City OF Everett, which sailed last
summer from San Francisco for CAL
cutta, with cargo Of food for the fam
inc sufferers of India. The letter is
dated at Calcutta, September Is.
Captain LaVarge charges that En-
glish officials at Calcutta are receiving
the famine supplies without enthusi-
asm. The pilot came aboard the City
Of Everett when she approached Cal
cutta. and told the captain that he
would have done better to have brought
a cargo OF guns, with which to kill of
the native Indian population. Cap
tain LaVarge says that the City Of Ey-
erett was treated shamefully at CAL
cutta by the government, and that the
treatment was specially out Of place,
owing to the presence Of the vessel rep
resenting the generosity and humanity
of the American people. There was
nothing on which claim for duty
could be exacted that was not enforced,
and the officials finding, after ransack-
ing the papers for the ship, that the
officials at Singapore had exempted the
ship from light duties, promptly en-
forced them. The claim was made
that the governor at Singapore had no
authority to exempt the ship from pay
ing any duties. Before leaving CAL
cutts, the English officials even insisted
on the payment of duties for the ships
stores.

To the Columbia River.

The Dalles, Or, Nov. 8.-The Ia
coma & Columbia River railroad is the
name OF the new company that will
operate a freight and passenger line
between Tacoma and The Dalles. Col
onel William Bailey, of New York, is
at the head OF the company, the prin-
cipal portion OF the stock being sub
scribed by New York capitalists.
When 1t was known that Colonel
Bailey was the purchaser OF the Lake
Park road. couple Of weeks ago, it
was said that the road would probably
be extended to the rich mineral tracts
abou ttEatonville and Mount Rainier,
but no one dreamed that the extension
would be carried as far as the Colum-
bia river.
1t now transpires, though, that ac-
tive operations will be commenced al
most Immediately, and pushed with
vigor until the two cities are connected.
1t is hoped to tap section Of country
that is as yet practically unknown, but
which is thought to be exceedingly
rich in timber, minerals and fertility.
The road will go by way Of Eatonville,
Nisqually, Tilton river coal fields and
on across the Cascades TO The DalIes.
Negotiations are nearly completed for
terminal facilities that will be convent
ent to all shippers.
Tacoma will be the operative head
quarters of the new road, the head
office being at 80 Broadway, New York
A freight and passenger Office has
been opened in Tacoma. The first
work will consist in strengthening out
the old Lake park road and getting
the roadbed in shape.

Insurgents Capture n Spanish Convoy
in Pinar Del Rio-Town Of HoIguin
Captured--A Word From weyIer.
New York, Nov. 8.--A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: The
insurgent troops in the field are very
active. On October 80 the Spaniards
sustained the most severe loss they
have met for some time. On the bord-
ers OF Matanzas province General Mo-
lima was defeated by the insurgents un-
der General Betancourt. General Mo-
lima was on his way to Havana with
brigade of troops to participate in
Blanco's reception. At Aguacate he
heard the rebels were encamped in
Purgatory hills, and broke his march to
attack them. The fight was a long
one, and the Spanish loss was large.
He was finally forced to retreat.
In Pinar del Rio province the rebels
under command of Captain Lorr at
tackled convoy that left San Cayetano
and captured large supply Of clothing
and ammunition.
a report apparently well-founded, Is
current in Havana to the effect that
Holguin has been captured by rebels
under Genreal Cebreco. That it has
been attacked, and that 70 Spaniards
were killed is admitted, but the capture
is denied.
General Luque with heavy reinforce
ments left Havana yesterday for Hol-
guin.
In a book on the Cuban war just pub
lished here, General Weyler writes the
introduction. In one places he says:
"Tbe system Of warfare carried on by
me during this campaign is not new
one. 1t is the same as that pursued
by the Americans of the North when
they fought their brethren of the
South"
A million dollars in paper currency
has mysteriously disappeared from the
treasury here. The money was intend
ed for the payment OF the navy, and the
troops. This fact, coupled with an at
tempt to deprive the army and navy Of
their pay for the months Of April, May
and June is causing great indignation.

San Francisco, Nov. 5.-The United
States fish commission steamer Alba
tross has arrived from Alaskan waters.
The report of Commander Moser will
say that the Alaska salmon will disap-
pear if there are not efforts made to
propagate the fish. This is recognized
by the packers and some of them are
maintaining private hatcheries to fill
the streams from which they draw
their supplies.
Last year the output of the Alaska
packers was 1,000,0 900 cases, of As
pounds each, or $4,000, 900 pounds of
canned salmon. This year there will
be material falling off.
1t is understood that Commissioner
Brice will ask congress for enough
money to establish hatcheries and thus
keep alive the salmon in northern
waters.
Commander Moser reports that many
shad planted in these waters were
caught in the traps of the Alaska can
neries this wear.

RELEASED FROM MORO CASTLE.
Two Survivors Of Maceo's Original Ex-
pedition Set Free.

Two Survivors of Maceo's Original Ex-
pedition Set Free.
New York, Nov. S.-The Journal
says: Of, the 40 persons who landed
with General Maceo near Baracoa,
nearly two and half years ago only
three survive. The others, including
Maceo, have perished on the battlefield,
or in hospitals in Cuba. Two of the
survivors are young Americans, Frank
Agramonte and Julio Sainz. Word
has been received in this city that
through the efforts of DR.. Pulaski
Hyatt, United States consul at Santi-
ago, they have been released from Moro
castle, and will sail for New York next
Saturday.
Agramont is the son OF Professor
Emilio Agramonte, of this city. His
family is one of means, so that the
burden of his Imprisonment has been
lightened through their efforts.
Sainz is an orphan and Dr. Hyatt
has provided him with food and COM
forts out of the $4,000 fund appro-
priatei by congress for the relief of
Americans in Cuba.
The young men, both about "a years
Of age, sailed with Maceo. The party
was intercepted near Baracoa. In the
skirmish 10 soldiers and a Spanish
officer we're killed. Agramonte and
Sainz were separated from their com.
panions and were captured a few days
later.
Owing to the death of the officer,
the affair assumed serious aspect.
The boys asked help from Mr.. Hyatt
and their youth appealed to him and
he saved them from being shot. They
were imprisoned in Moro castle. For
two years and half the boys have been
inmates OF the prison. The governor
of the prison allowed any article with
Hyatt's stamp to be given them.
just before General Weyler left for
Spain Hyatt wrote to him, recalling
promise to release the boys. Now
news comes that the release of the
young men was among the last official
acts of the genreal. The boys have
sent word that they will sail for New
York on the Niagara.

AT 1928 o'clock this morning severe
shock of earthquake was felt the entire
distance from Silver Bow to Monida,
Mont, and at Z o'clock a second shock
was perceptible, but not so severe. At
Divide, Melrose, Red Rock, Lima and
Monida, the windows ratified, dishes

thrown from their stands, lamp Chin
neys and other glassware suffered de-
struction, clocks stopped, and buildings
were made to sway and crack. At

Chicago, Nov. s. S.-Aeronaut Stewart
Young was drowned in the lake at the
foot Of Monroe street this afternoon
while attempting to descend from his
balloon in a parachute. Young ascend
ed from the winter circus on Wabash
avenue. A brisk wind was blowing,
and the airship quickly veered to the
east. Immediately over Lake Front
Park, Young was seen to loosen his
parachute, and make ready to desert
the balloon. Evidently something went
wrong, for the aeronaut failed to drop,
and the balloon suddenly exploding fell
into the lake. Young was seen to
struggle violently to free himself, and
then sink. The liiesaving crew dragged
the lake for the body, but was unable
to bring it up.

He was employed in breaking pig
iron in shed near the foundry, and
shortly before the hour for marching
the men back to their cells, adroitly
improvised a ladder by mailing several
cleats on pine plank which served as
a track for conveying iron pipes to a

fiance of the guards repeated warn
ings, he climbed to the opening and
sprang to the ground, fleeing like q

from the wall, the guard fired low,
hoping to check him by wounding him
in the legs, but missed The second
shot pierced Krahn's body from the
shoulder to the right side, and he fell
dead in his tracks so feet from the
wall.
