Naval Officials Reticent.

Washington, June l4.-The navy de.
partment officials were singularly re-
served about the movements of the
New York, and showed reluctance to
answer any questions. Secretary Long,
in answer to direct Interrogation, re-
piled:
1.-The New York is not going to
Cuba; she will next be heard from at
some point on the Atlantic coast we'll
north of Cuba
The secretary refused to answer fur
ther. 1t was learned, however, that
the cruiser is expected to report next at
Hampton Roads, Va, and that she
will be at sea about two days. 1t is
surmised that the. navy department,
which has been charged of late with
the whole duty of looking after fill
busters afioat, has been advised of the
intention of some formidable expedi-
tion bound for Cuba to put out from
some northern port. In such case, the
department would send out a smaller
cruiser usually, but it is said that at
this time it was case of choice of the
vessel able to get under way first.

Boston, June 14.-The United States
cruiser New York, the flagship of the
North Atlantic squadron, with Rear
Admiral Montgomery Sicard on board,
steamed out of the harbor at O'Clock
this afternoon, not soul on board
knowing to what port she is bound, for
it will only be when the big white
cruiser is we'll outside of Boston light,
with her pilot over the side, that the

destination ascertained.
1t is generally believed, however,
that when she reaches Cape Cod, she
Will turn her nose 10 the southwark and
that her twin screws will not stop until
she is somewhere in the immediate
neighborhood of Cuba; for when she
started she was fully provisioned and
coaled, and could, if necessary, go to
Gibraltar or long distance without
laying in supplies.
The New York arrived here on May
26 to participate in the ceremonies at
tending the unveiling of the Shaw
monument. The battle-ship Massachu-
setts came with the flagship, while the
battleship Texas had arrived some
days previously. The Texas left few
days ago, but the other two ships have
been swinging at their moorings off
the navy-yard until today.
The rear admiral might have had
some inkling of an important cruise
from the fact that for the last few days
the entire crew has been hard at work
getting the ship ready for sea, while
her coal bunkers have been filled to

MURDER THE CHARGE.
Bates Soper, Alias Homer Lee. Arrested
in Ashland.

Ashland, Or, June As. E. Lowe
of an Eastern detective agency, left
here on this evenings train for Port
land, en- route eastward, with Bates
Soper. alias Homer Lee, arrested by
him near Ashland late last evening on
a requisiiton from the governor of Mis-
souri,, on a charge of murder in the first
degree.
1t is alleged that six years ago last
April Soper murdered his wife and two
children, at Archie, Cass county, in
Missouri, by deliberately chopping them
TO pieces with hand ak.
Soper, according to his own story,
came away from Missouri in 1891, and
was over in Washington two months.
He then came to Oregon, and lived in
the Willamette valley, above Oregon
City, for year and a half. He then
went to Portland, he says, and lived
there four years, being known as Sandy
Soper, and having employment most of
the time with the Pullman Car Com
pany in cleaning and such work in the
railroad yards. He was married in
Portland, and his wife is there now,
though he refused to give her address.
When Soper left Portland, it is claimed
he had a2-year-old child with him, and
it is suspected that he made way with
this child, too, after leaving Portland.
Soper left Portland last April, and
passed through here to Sissons, where
he remained week, and then came
back to Ashland, April 2S, where he
has been working since in farming and
orchard work. He had leased an Or
chard tract here, and, at the time of
his arrest, was working on the Owen
farm, south of town. Those who have
known him say that he was an exceed
ingly quiet and inoffensive man, and
was an unusually good worker. He
was known here as Homer Lee.
When arrested he did not deny being
Bates Soper, the man wanted, though
he does not admit the crime charged
against him.
Lowe, the young detective who cap
tured him, claims to have spent year
and half in searching for Soper, and
to have been on the case off and on for
six years, locating his man in Portland
last December. He was not entirely
satisfied, so returned for further instruc-
tions. to come back and follow his trail
from Portland this way. He claims to
have spent months in following a clew
at Cripple Creek, and then returned
East with the wrong man.

CANNON BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Explosion of a Gun Cotton Shell at tn.
Indian Head Proving Grounds.

Explosion of a Gun Cotton Shell at the
Indian Head Proving Grounds.
Washington, June lathe state of
Maryland trembled last evening as the
result of an explosion of $50 pounds of
gun cotton at the government proving
grounds at Indian Head. A 12-inch
breech-loading rifle weighing 1O1, 900
pounds and worth $25, 900, was blown
to pieces. The armor-covered "bomb-
proof in which the spectators take
refuge while tests are made was wrecked
and a dozen naval officers and ordnance
experts narrowly escaped with their
lives.
The final test was being made of a
gun cotton shell invented by Chicago
man, and through some unaccountable
accident the shell exploded in the gun,
wrecking the monster and it's carriage
and throwing some of the pieces more
than mile down the Potomac.
Colonel O'Neill, the chief of ord
nance Tor the navy, and several United
States naval officers and naval attaches
from the various foreign legations had
fortunately taken refuge on navy
yard tug about mile from shore.
Lieutenant Anderson, who had been
directed to fire the gun by electricity
when the signal was given from the
tug, had gone behind big earth bank
or butt" about 800 yards from the
gun. He and other spectators were
unhurt, though massive piece of the
gun, weighing many tons, flew through
the air with frightful velocity and
struck the water within 100 feet of the
tug.
II the spectators had gone into the
'bombproof," as they usually do, when
such tests are made, they would all
have been killed, for big piece of steel
struck it and ripped through the l2-
inch armor as if it had been so much
paper. A great hole was torn in the
ground where the gun stood and the
buildings at the proving grounds were
badly shaken. Not particle of the
massive gun or its carriage remained.
This was the largest charge OF gun
cotton ever fired or attempted to be
fired from powder gun. The govern
ment paid about SEQ, 900 for the gun
blown up, and it was built especially
for these tests. A shell shot from this
gun was expected to perforate 81 inches
of steel at distance of 1900 yards and
to travel from six to ten miles before
losing its momentum.

PROPOSED FORTIFICATioNS
Contractors Looking Over the Site at
MarrowstOne Point.

Port Townsend, WASH, June a.
The advertisement by the government
for bids to prepare the site for the erec-
tion of Puget sound Notifications here
has brought to inspect the site con.
tractors from all over Washington, Or
egon and California. Marrowstone
point is rough steep, high promon-
tory, and the first work will necessarily
be the providing of a source of fresh
water. Prospective contractors think
1T will be necessary to dig well 80 to
100 feet deep to obtain it. The con-
tract for the Marrowstone point work
will be let June 80. Condemnation
proceedings for title to 1000 acres for
the fortification site on Point Wilson
are under way and bids for contracts
for preparing the site will appear in a
short time. Fifteen hundred acres of
land are included in the Point Wilson
fortification reserve. The advertise
ment for bids stipulates that work
must begin within 10 days after the
contract is awarded.

PFANNER is MISSING.
Disappearance of the President OF the
Forest Grove Bank.


Forest Grove Bank.
Forest Grove, Or, June 14.-The
Forest Grove bank closed its doors at
noon today, because of an order to that
effect received by Cashier f. T. Kane
from Anton Pfanner, the president OF
the bank.
The order came in registered letter
to Mr.. Kane, from Portland, in which
letter was also an assignment to S.
Hughes and A. Hinman, made by Mr..
Pfanner for the benefit of all his cred
itors.
In the letter, Mr.. Pfanner said that
he felt that he had reached the point
where he feared to go on with his bus
mess affairs, as he did not feel that he
would be able to stand the mental
strain; that he intended to go off among
strangers for quiet, and if he got we'll
he would return; if not, he would die
among strangers.
1t is feared here by many that he has
committed suicide.
About three months ago Mr.. Pfanner
had serious illness, and had not fully
recovered. He had for the last few
days premonition that he would have
a recurrence of the trouble, and feared
that it would result fatally.
Mr.. Pfanner was considered one Of
the wealthiest men in the county, and
II is thoug hit he had plenty to pay all
claims against him. There does rot
seem to be any reason why any one
should worry who have claims against
MIN. An inventory of his real estate
was being made today, and his per-
sonal effects will be inventoried tomor-
row. Until this is complete, it will
not be known what his liabilities and
assets are.
Mr.. Pfanner did a large real estate
ana loan business, and enioyed the
public confidence. He was at the front
In many ventures of public nature,
and it was he who built recently 8

New York, June IA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: 1t is
believed here since the long suppressed
news of the affairs in Madrid have been
made public that General Weyler's re-
turn to Spain will be the most import.
ant result of Canovas' success in retain
ing power. Private kilograms have
been sent to persons here in which il
was distinctly stated that Campos,
Dominguez and Pidal had given their
support to Canovas only with the plain
stipulation that General Weyler should
go.
In fact, it is felt here that General
Campos. who is now in power in Spain
and fills the popular eye, would not on
any account lend himself to the con-
tinuation of General Weyler's policy.
The plan is to send General Marin here
from Porto Rico and then supplant him
in turn by General Blanco or Campos.

AN UPRISING IN INDIA.
A Number of Officers Reported Killed
by the Natives.

/
Bombay, June IA dispatch from
! Silma announces serious trouble on the
northern frontier, and the massacre of
number of British officers and native
soldiers in the government employ.
From particulars obtainable it seems
that two guns belonging to the Bombay
mounted battery, escorted by 300 men
belonging to the First regiment of
Sikhs and the First Punjab infantry,
were treacherously attacked in Tochi
valley by large force of hostile ma
tives. The first reports said Colonel
Bunny, two officers and 26 privates had
been killed, and three officers and "a
men injured. Indications are that the
affair is more than conflict with war
like natives, and that the notorious
Mullah of Piewindah is at the bottom
of the trouble.
The latest advices, however, are that
a political officer, Mr.. Gee, was visit
ing Shirani with an escort of troops,
when he was attacked at Mama by su-
perior forces. The British troops We're

several miles by overwhelming mum bers
of the enemy. The fighting was des-
perate. All the British officers were
severely wounded. Captain Browne,
of the First Sikhs, son of the late Sir
James Browne. and Lieutenant Crook
shank, of the royal artillery, were
killed and Surgeon Higginson, Lieuten-
ant Higginson, of the First Sikhs, and
Lieutenant Seaton Browne, of the Pun
Jab infantry were wounded.
A second dispatch says Colonel Gray
has taken command of the British
troops, and it is inferred that Colonel
Bunny is among the dead, as at first
announced.
Tochi valley lies north of Gumala,
and on the road to Ghuzni and Wazir-
islam. 1t has been controlled by the
British since the elimination of the
Hindoo-Afhgan frontier, but the tribes
have always been turbulent. The mu-
lah of Piewindah is a notorious fanati-
cal priest, and has always been hostile
to the British.
