A COOPERATIVE SCHEME.
Chicago unemployed Propose to March
10 Utah.

Chicago, May 3.-The Record says:
Another movement similar to that
which General Coxey organized few
years ago, and which is designed to take
an army OF unemployed men on a long
trip across the country, is being quietly
organized, and it is said that in June
IL will move" having its starting
point in this city.
1t differs from that which was pro-
ductive Of the famous "keep-on- the
grass, by-term, in that it does not have
the national capital as it's objective
point, and 1t is not designed TO ask the
national government for aid for any
one. If the present plans are carried
out, when the "army" reaches the end
of it's destination it will at once go to
work as a cooperative commonwealth,
and the leaders will attempt to prove
that the working people can provide ior
themselves out Of the abundance OF the
earth without dividing the products OF
4 their labor.
It is said that with the adjournment
Of the conveJ ton Of the American
Railway Union, which will meet IN
this city in June, the time will nave
arrived for the order to march, and u
il further said that President +. v
Debs and other men prominent in rail
road organizations are among the prime
movers in the scheme. Utah IS 10 d.

man will be on an equal footing witi
his neighbor. There will be no CIT.

SPAN|ARDS WERE Defeated
Insurgents Won the Battle
Of Purgatory Hills.
SPANISH LOSS WAS HEAVY

They Were Drawn Into Ambuscade,
where a whitening Fire Was
Poured Upon Them From All Sides
New York, May 3.-A Herald dis
patch from Havana says:
The engagement which the. Spanish
had with General Rodriguez IN the
Purgatory hills, and which was report
ed as decisive Spanish victory, turns
out to have been the reverse.
The Spanish columns encountered
the insurgents and attacked sharply,
relying on their superior forces. The
rebels retreated toward their camp, and
succeeded in playing their old trick OF
drawing the Spanish into an ambus
cade. General Castillo arrived with
reinforcements while Rodriguez was
engaging the Spanish and fell on their
flank. The fighting lasted five hours,
and in killed, wounded and prisoners,
the Spanish lost $50 men.
| News comes from Santiago de Cuba
that 200 volunteers headed by priest
and prominent physician have Joined
the insurgents because they were dis
satisfied with the conduct OF the Span
ish authorities, snd believed that Gar
cia would succeed in retaining his su'
premacy in the eastern province.
The situation at Banes continues tc
command attention. Four cruisers and
several gunboats have been ordered

General Weyler came quietly baci
to Havana yesterday morning after
six weeks trip to Santa Clara, durinI
which, if he accomplished anythin
from a military standpoint, the fact ha
been most effectually concealed. 1t
now reported that he is going to Spai
soon, but the report is probably due
the fact that his son sailed April 30.
1t was reported last night that an in
surgent chief of importance had bee
sent to Pinar del Rio. He is believe

From Matanzas and other towns

Decorations Were Burned. but the
Speeches Were Made.
Pittsburg, May S.-The eleventh an
nual banquet of the Americus Club, in
memory OF General Grant, was held
tonight, in spite of the fire in the BAN
ouet hall which destroyed the decora-
tions and threatened for time to put
a stop to the ceremonies. The club
had made great preparations for the
event, and the decorators had been at
work for several days and had adorned
the ceiling with four rows OF inverted
pyramids, constructed OF red, white and
blue bunting. The pyramids, several
hundred in number, entirely covered
the ceiling, and the points of them ex-
tended to within about eight feet of the
floor. An electric light was suspended
from the top of each, and bunch OF
smilax festooned from point to point.
The effect was very beautiful. The
windows were artistically draped, and
in the center of the north wall was q
lifesize portrait of the hero of Apo
! mattox.
The club management wished to Sc
cure a photograph of the decorated hall
and in the attempt to secure a flash
light picture an explosion occurred
which was followed by flames which
practically destroyed the entire decora
tion of the hall. Men were at once pu
to work to remove the debris, and tn
banquet was delayed only an hour, tn
dismantled condition of the room prov
ing but slight detraction from tn
evenings enjoyment.
There were 324 diners seated at tn

Spokane, May A.-Two convicts under

ORCHARD LANDS ARE RUINED
Cloudburst. Devastated the Valley
of AsOtin Creek.

Asotin Wash, May 2l.-A cloudburst
at some point as yet unknown up the lit
tie valley of Asotin creek sent a wall of
noon which carried devastation in its
train. Stock was drowned, houses wreck
ed, bridges washed out. and orchards
ruined. The loss is roughly estimated at
100000. The pleasant little valley was a
continuous orchard and garden for Is
miles above the town. The Spokesman
Review correspondent has just returned
from a trip four miles up the valley, and
from persons on the road it was learned
that the flood extended for a least three
miles beyond that, and how much further
is unknown.
So far as reported no lives We're lost
but considerable stock perished. The
houses Of Robert Campbell and John Dill
were wrecked, and John Miller's house
was carried 300 feet from it's foundations.
Many other places were more or less dam
aged. Between Asotin and point four
miles up the creek all the bridges, five in
number, We're washed out. Two of these
belonged to the town and three to the
county. The loss in this particular is
about $500. 1t is thought that other
bridges were washed out further up the
stream.
But the chief loss was in the destruc-
ion of orchards and gardens. The tor
rent tore through these with great fury,
carrying debris with great force and
washing out and breaking off the smaller
trees. The larger trees We're left stand
ing, though they We're badly damaged
In the town of Asotin comparatively lit
tie damage was done beyond the washing
out of the bridges. The park was ruined.
