DROWNED IN DEEP CREEK.
Palmer Whine, a Fifteen Year Old Boy,
Accidentally Drowned.

Skamokawa, Wash, Feb. 22.-News
has reached Skamokawa of an accident
that took place on Deep river, in the
lower part of Wahkiakum county, last
Saturday evening, by which Palmer
Whine lost his life. 1t seems that
Whine, who was about 10 years old,
and another boy of the same age, Max
Long, had gone to the postoffice at Deep
river, to get their mail. Having Sc
cured their mail they started for their
homes in small boat, taking with them
man, John Long. The boat was one
of those little skiffs used on the creeks.
1t was barely safe for one person to
travel in, much less three, and in
changing seats it was capsized and the
occupants thrown out. None of them
could swim, but John Long hung to the
capsized boat, while the two boys strug-
gled to get ahsore, which was only 100
feet away. Their cries for help brought
George Carey to their assistance with
a boat, and he succeeded in saving the
two Longs. The boy Whine went
down and his body was not recovered
until Sunday, when it was found near
the scene OF the accident.
Wilme's sister was drowned near
Astoria about nine years ago.

La Grande, Or, Feb. %. 2.-Recently
Turner Oliver, in behalf of the Com
mercial Club, applied to the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation officials to make
a rate on sugar beets, in anticipation Of
establishing a sugar factory in this val
ley. The rate applied for was 80 cents
ton from all points within Union

the railway company guarantees to es-
tabish the following rates;
Within 25 miles, 80 cents ton; 25
to so miles, rs cents; 80 to 100 miles,
81
This is equivalent to rate of 90 cents
ton from all points within the coun-
ty, except North Powder. A request
will be made to have the latter point
included in the 50-cent rate, the dis
tance from North Powder by rail being
32 miles. A letter has been received
from Engineer Silech, the constructor
Of beet-sugar factory at Eddy, N. NJ. ,

Reservation.

Wilbur, Wash, Feb. 22.-This town
and others along the south half of the
Colville Indian reservation are filled
with strangers, awaiting proclama-

miners on the outside says that the gov
ernment officials are interested with
companies in locating valuable mineral
claims 1t is said that the Indian po.
lice stand in with them. One location
on the reservation bears a paper which
has the signature as witness of Sam
Vinson, deputy United States marshal

to the writer, on all of the best claims,
and, where their agents are seeking
new discoveries, all other miners are
kept off the land.

the house voted almost solidly for Kyle.
The Republicans of the senate began

three more than were necessary. With
the solid Republican vote and few

NO VOTE REACHED
Arbitration Treaty Again Considered
in Executive Session.


Washington, Feb. 22.-The senate
adjourned at 8:35 tonight, after having
spent almost eight hours in continuous
executive session on the arbitration
treaty. No result was accomplished
beyond voting down the motion made
by Nelson to postpone further consid-
Grafton of the treaty until March s.
Sherman made repeated efforts during
the day to secure a vote on the ratifica-
tion or to get the senate to fix the day
and hour when it would agree to vote
upon the treaty. He was defeated in
both purposes, and when the senate at
last adjourned, because of the absence
of a quorum, he did not say whether he
would make another effort again this
session to secure further consideration,
but it is supposed that he will renew
the motion for an executive session to-
morrow The feeling through the SEN
ate among the friends, as well as the
opponents of the treaty, is that any
effort to secure a vote will be futile.

weyler In Pursuit of Gomez.

Havana, Feb. 22.-If official reports
are correct, the insurgent army under
General Gomez has been divided into
small corps and Gomez himself is in
full retreat before the continued ad-
vance of Weyler. Dispatches from
Ciego de Aviel say the insurgent COM
manderin-chief with 1900 men re-
crossed the military line in the prov
ince of Puerto Pincipe. extending from
Jucaro to Monon, and is going eastward
through Puerto Pincipe in the direction
of the capital of the privince.
General Calixto de Garcia, Gomez
second in command, was reported four
days ago in the vicinity of Puerto Prin-
cipe, retreating towards the same point
as Gomez. Weyler arrived yesterday
at Sancti Spiritus, the most important
town in the eastern part of the province
of Santa Clara, near the boundary of
Puerto Principe, in the territory where
the insurgent headquarters were re-
Gently located. Weyler will push for
ward to Moron, Ciego de Aviel and
Juraco, thus seemingly sweeping across
the island with large force, and driv-
ing the enemy before him. He expects
to entrap Gomez between two wings of
the Spanish column and force decisive
engagement before the rains put an end
to the military operations. The Cu
bans believe, however. that Gomez
will, as ~sual, slip through the Gordon
before being completely developed.

General Gomez gave the command
for an advance, with strict orders that
any man that struck match would be
court t-martialed. He then advanced on
the Moron trocha, in the eastern end of
the island, with 5000 cavalry and 10,-
600 infantry. He advanced on the
fort at midnight, and when he saw he
was discovered by the Spanish, who
fired on him, he ordered the cavalry to
charge. They swooped down upon the
fort and captured it, and the whole
army went through .the trocha. All OF
the arms and ammunition of the tort
was captured. The army then contin-
ued to march, and was encamped al
Veguite when the news was sent to the
city by courier. His order in taking
the fort was to use the machete only
and the cavalry made a gallant fight.
