CHICAGO. Feb. 12.-Six men had a
race with death on the lake last night
and won by a hairs breadth. They
were the crue of the big supply tug.
Vanraalte. This tug carries supplies
to the crib off Sixty-eighth street, and
while returning to her dock she sprang
a leak while bucking tremendous
ice flow.
Then for three hours the six men
battled with the ice and faced death
while they were trying to keep their
boat aaoat long enough to reach her
dock. The tug managed tc get into
Calumet river but the fire was dead.
The men were up to their knees in
water. In answer to signals of dis
tress the fire boat Chicago responded
and took the crew ashore.

New YORK, Feb. ia Herald dis
patch from the district of Sancti Spiri-
tus, Santa Clara province, Cuba, gives
the following statements signed by
General Maxine Gomez:
1.-The enemies of Cuba have circu-
lated in the United States the rumor
that 1 am disposed to accept autonomy
as basis of settlement or solution of
the present war.
"The constitution of Cuba absolutely
esta tablishes in its articles that peace is
to be negotiated only upon the basis of
absolute independence of Spain. 1t is
to obtain independence that we have
been fighting for two years, and will
continue to fight until victory is ours.
"All the statements which have been
heretofore, OR may be in the future pub
lished to the effect that we are willing
to accept any other solution instead of
independence, should be regarded as
false"

A German Farmer Murdered by His PART

A German Farmer Murdered by His PART
SEATTLE, Feb. 13.-In the outskirts
of Elliot, sparsely settled community
16 miles from Seattle, Edward Folzke,
a German farmer, was killed with an
ak Friday evening, about Z o'clock,
and the perpetrator of the crime at
tempted to cover up his work by drag
ging his Victims body into the house,
to which he applied the torch. The
cabin was entirely destroyed, and the
dead mans fate is told by large pool
of blood outside of the door and an ak
which shows blood stains and black
hair on it. The sheriff and coroner
investigated the case this afternoon,
with the result that Andrew S. Kraus,
Folzee's partner, is locked up in the
county Jail, charged with murder and
arson. No one saw the crime COM
mitted, but circumstancial evidence is
strong against Kraus. The two men
had lived together for eight years, and
when sober were close friends; but
when drunk they frequently quarreled.
Kraus denies all knowledge of the
crime, claiming that he slept in a
cabin some distance from the scene of
the murder. Blood spots were found
on his overails.

Es. OREGON, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 90 1897

cial st ttement of the Cretan question
has been published here as follows:
SIN reply to the representations OF
the ministers of all the great powers at
Athens to the Greek government yes
terday, pointing out the danger to
European peace from the attitude taken
by Greece contrary to international
law, NJ. Skouses, minister of foreign
affairs, declared Greece would occupy
Crete.
SIN view of this fact the imperial
government no longer considers it con-
sonant with its dignity to take further
diplomatic steps at Athens. After an
exchange of views with the cabinets of
other great powers the commander of
the German warship Kaiserin Augusta,
which will arrive at Canea within the
next few days, had received iustruc-
tions in conjunction with the COM
manders of the naval forces of other
great powers assembled il Cretan
waters to prevent any hostile act upon
the part of Greece, and also to cooper
ate with them in every possible way
with view to restoring order ard
averting bloodshed."

Everything is safe.

The winter is now SO far advanced
that no severe weather can be expected
from tbfs on, sipae heavy storms sell
dom occur after the middle of February,
hence the danger of loss of stock
throughout Eastern Oregon is passed.
Stock generally have come through
the winter in fair condition, conse-
quently the stock raisers will be pros
porous the coming season. And as to
farmers and fruitgrowers, their pros
poets were never brighter than at pres
ent. While fruit trees were damaged
slightly in some localities by the freeze
in November, the injury was not gen.
eral throughout the country and trees
as rule are in healthy thriving con-
dition. Fall grain was also slightly
damaged in some localities, but as
rule is prospecting well. The immense
amount of rainfall during the winter
will make it possible for large acre.

SALEM, Or, Feb. 12.-The joint con-
vention met at noon. The rollcall
showed 81 members present, the same
as yesterday. Hudson and Vaughan
were absent on account of illness.
Senator Dufur made a speech, saying
that he had come here to do his duty.
He deplored the situation. He was
elected on the democratic ticket, and
had come here to discharge his duty.
One of his duties was the election of a
United States senator. He would not
stand back and wait until As coat-tails
preceded him into the joint conven-
tion. The present situation, he said,
had established precedent that would
come back and strike the very vitals OF
our institutions. Those who were
staying out were doing nothing but
breeding anarchy.
What is the difference" he ex-
claimed, whether it is accomplished
by pol1t1caI strategy or cntUuuery. or
by bullets and blood, the result is the
same"
Dufur concluded by saying that un-
less prevented by accident, he would
be found present at every rollcall to
the very end.
