DOODLE IN LAUNDRY.
Staff Quartermaster Lowrey Proves
to Be Considerable of a Financier
in a Small Way.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Major Horatio
B. Lowrey. staff quartermaster of the
marine corps, has been severely repri-
manded in public orders by Secretary
Herbert, thereby escaping court mar
tial. A court of inquiry recently in
vestigated the contracts let by Major
Lowrey for the laundry work of the
marine corps, and found that although
they were let to the lowest bidder, the
price paid was clearly eXCrbitant, the
average rate having been $500 per 100
as compared with 81 the year previous.
A man named Belford, who was not
laundryman, secured the contracts at
all the navy yards and Their sub-let
them at an enormous profit. The con-
ditions and prices in the Washington
contract being similar to those at
Portsmouth, n. H, Philadelphia,
Brooklyn, Norfolk, Boston and Annap-
oils. The court decided that Major
Lowrey had committed seven specific
offences.
Secretary Herbert, Concluded not to
convene a court martial. for the reason
that it does not seem probable that
any further evidence can be obtained
and the evidence now before it is not
sufficient when taken in connection
with the previous good character of
Major Lowrey to justify the conclu-
sion that he has been corrupt or guilty
of anything else than carelessness and

IN OREGON.
Two Houses, One Temporary and
the Other Permanent

Salem, Ore, Jan. 21.-The house met
at 2. m. Roll call showed 80 pres
ent. The chamber was packed with an
excited crowd, as it was generally
known an attempt would be made to
organize with a majority, instead of by
two-thirds of the mem bership. When
Temporary Chairman Davy called -the
house to order, Brown of Morrow,
moved that they proceed to form a
temporary organization by calling
Smith of Marion to the chair.
Representative Riddle protested, and
read an opinion from George H. Will
Jams of Portland. saying that any at
tempt to organize without two-thirdS
of the members-elect would be in di-
rect violation of the constitution. When
Smith took the chair, Thomas read a
report of the committee on credentials.
Chief Justice Moore was sent for and
swore in 81 members of the go who
were present. This done, Benson was
proposed for permanent speaker, and,
elected. On taking the chair by the
side of Davis, the house proceeded to
elect officers and when sworn in adj
jCurned until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
Thus Oregon at present has two
houses, one organized temporarily and
the other permanently. Whether the
proceedings today win stand the test
of law, is a matter on which there is a
great diversity of opinion. 1t is con-
tended that ii will not be recognized
by the senate, the governor and secre-
tary of state.

New York, Jan. 21.-The Suns cor
respondent in Manzanilla, Cuba, writ
ing under date of Jan. 13, says: a
trustworthy person of this city, who is
in direct communication with the insur-
gents had an interview two days ago
with General Calixto Garcia in the
latter's camp, seven miles from here.
Il am more convinced than ever,
said General Garcia, that we do not
need help from any other country TO
achieve our independence. We can
fight the Spaniards alone and drive
them out of the island, nOtwithstand-
ing their superiority in numbers ana
resources.
interference on the part of the
American nation is therefore unneces-
sary. We can have the glory of being
an American country that can win It's
freedom without any aid from abroad.
We do not expect such assistance as
when the United States offered
friendly hand to Jaurez to free Mexico
from a European monarch.
What we have right to demand
from America is fair neutrality IN
stead of the shameful alliance with
Spain by which our friends in the
United States are prosecuted, our ex-
petitions hunted as pirates by the
American navy and our supplies OF
munitions !seized as unlawful mer-
chandise. If America would permit
our friends to send us supplies without
molestation, just as the captain gen
eral could do for his army, within
few months not an inch OF CUBAN sou
would be under the flag of the king
of CASTLE.
IF America continues to assist
Spain. the war will last longer, and
after the final triumph of Cuba it Will
not reflect much glory upon the Amer
lean government to have no share on the
continent of Washington in the defeat
of an European monarchy.
I'VE do not want home rule even on
the most liberal basis. We want moth
ing short of independence, and we Will
struggle for it until the last Cuban is
killed on the field of battle. l am per
fectly satisfied with the progress OF
the war in this province, where we
are masters beyond any doubt. If we
only had a navy to protect a sea port,
and that we cannot have until we are
recognized as belligerents. Manzanllio
and even Santiago De Cuba would
have been ours before this time.
Il have very hard work trying to
make the Spanish fight here. AT ia
bugpito 1 succeeded in surprising
them. Then they were obliged to fight,
and were entirely routed. Since the
capture of Guaimaro, the Spanish
have been demoralized in this prov
ince."
General Garcia had with him about
6 900 well-armed men, and his stock of
ammunition is fairly satisfactory, as
compared with the usual scarcity OF
cartridges in the Cuban army. He has
two cannon. one of them dynamite
gun, which he uses effectively.

It Caused a Sensation.

Key West, Fla, Jan. 21-Passengers by
the Olivette, bringing Havana news OF
yesterdays date Jan. 2O report that the
sinking of the gunboat Relampago caused
a sensation. Nothing is known except
from the official report Private advices
are anxiously expected. 1t is said a mys-
FERROUS ship was seen near Cape Cruz and
it is being asked If it had any connection
with the occurrence.
Weyler has started with 10000 men and
intends crossing Havana province and
marching through Matanzas towards
Santa Clara He has ordered the com
manders in the zones of Havana within
three days to destroy all houses on
plantations which may serve as refuge

TO INSPECT THE TRocHA.
Weyler Will Then Be Able to Talk
About 1t.

New York, Jan. PA dispatch. to
the Herald from Havana via Kew
West says:
General Weyler left on Tuesday to
take command of the operations in the
east. He drove from here to Lueyaho
in his carriage, there mounted his horse
and took command of the operations
in the field.
Since the capture of the train near
Guanabacoa by Araiguren, General
Weyler has decided very wisely, it
would seem. not to hazard a railway
journey, and it is alleged that he will
make this campaign on horseback and
surrounded by his gallant troops.
He proposes to proceed by easy
stages to Jucaro, and there visit and
inspect the famous trocha, which Gu
bans pass with such ease and eXpedi
ton. He will then proceed to Matan-
zas and perhaps on to Las Villas.
While there are hints given from of
fetal sources that this campaign will
result in complete pacification on the
western half of the island, it is thought
by the best informed that, as usual
when General Weyler concentrates his
columns they will find nothing before
them, and that the campaign will re-
suit in simple tour of inspection of
the forces in the field by the command
er in chief
The latest news from General Gomez
is that he is advancing slowly west
ward. A few days ago he captured
the town of Los Remidos, in the north
ern part of Santa Clara, and then pro-
ceeded in a northwesterly direction.
This news is strenuously denied in of
fetal circles, but is nevertheless true.
The action of the general in leaving
the capital in these critical days is

in fact particularly by his own Of
ficers. as it is admitted that his cap
ture by Arangueren or some other
equally dashing leader. is not beyond
the realm of possibilities and would
end resistance to the Cuban demands.
