CERTIFICATES NOT REQUIRED,
Judge Hanford's Ruling as to Wives and
Children of Chinese Merchants.

Seattle, Got. 25.-Judge Hanford,
of the federal court, today handed down
a decision in Chinese case, in which
he holds that the wives and children of
Chinese merchants doing business in
the United States do not have to have
certificates from the Chinese govern
ment to entitle them to enter this
country. Government officials here say
that, if the opinion is upheld by the
higher courts, it means that the impor-
tant section Of the Chinese exclusion
act which provides that sons and
daughters of Chinese merchants doing
business in this country must secure
certificates from their home government
is no longer the law. United States
District Attorney Brinker will at once
report to the treasury department Judge
Hanford's ruling, and it is expected
that the attorney-genreal's Office will at
once take steps to have the case ap-
pealed to the supreme court.
Treasury agents claim that if the de-
cision holds it will open the gates for q
flood of Orientals. for, if certificates are
not required, any number of Chinese
can claim to be children of merchants
in the United States.
Judge Hanford's 8 decision is in direct
opposition to that of Judge Lacombe,
of New York.

THE NOTE ANSWERED.
Spain Says She Has Done All in Her
Power to End the War.

Spain Says She Has Done All in Her
Power to End the War.
Madrid, Oct. 26.-In the special note
to Minister Woodford, the government
declares that Spain has done all in her
power to end the war in Cuba, and cites
the many sacrifices which have been
made by the nation, the number of
troops sent to Cuba, and the reforms
which are carried out on the island,
which are fully described.
The note ends with the statement
that "Spain will not admit the right
of any foreign power to interfere in any
of her affairs.'
Ell Tempo publishes with reserve the
announcement that the reply of the
Spanish government to the United
States, presented to General Woodford,
the American minister at Madrid, de-
clares that, if the United States does
not stop the sailing of filibustering ex-
petitions from American ports, Spain
will re-establish the right to search ves-
sells anchoring In Cuban waters.
Ell Liberal thinks rupture possible
as the result of negotiations between
Spain and the United States, and
thinks Spain ought to avoid this rup-
ture. so far as duty and honor permit,
but that the government should act in
a spirit Of moderation and that the
nation will under no circumstances au-
thorize remuneration of Spain's rights

DEATH IN THE GALE.
Schooner Caspar Wrecked on the CAL
ifornia Coast.

Point Arena, Cal, Oct. 26.-Thirteen
seamen, comprising almost the entire
crew of the schooner Caspar, were
drowned early this morning by the
wreck of their vessel. The rocky shore
in this vicinity was strewn with wreck
age today, but there was no way of
identifying the ship until this evening,
when two men from shore, who had
gone out in small boat to secure any
of the crew who might still. be alive,
picked up Captain Anfindsen and Sea-
men Chris Larsen, who had been float
ing about on an improvised raft for
over IA hours.
To his rescuers, Adoiph Peterson and
Henry Anderson, the captain said the
bark struck on reef this morning and
seven minutes later capsized. When
she tipped over, all the crew were
washed overheard. The steamer car
ried 15 men, but from the moment the
accident occurred the captain has seen
none of his crew except his companion,
Larsen, and has no doubt that the other
Is have all been lost.
When thrown into the water, Anfind-
sen and Larsen by good fortune were
enabled to raft some pieces of floating
timber. They succeeded in drawing
the boards together. and clung to the
improvised raft from the time of the
accident until late this afternoon, while
the storm beat about them, being ex-
posed to the most fearful gale of the
season. They had almost succumbed
from cold, exposure and exhaustion,
and were with great difficulty saved by
their rescuers.
The sea has been so high all day that
it has been impossible to launch boat
from shore, and even this evening the
two men who went out and accom-
plished the rescue risked their lives in
the breakers.
Later in the evening the steamer
Alcazar cruised about the scene of the
wreck, but could find no trace of the
other seamen.
This is very dangerous locality for
shipping, and when vessel is once
thrown on the rocks she is certain to
be doomed, and there is little chance
for the escape of her unfortunate crew.
The Caspar sailed from San Francisco
Yesterday for Usal, where she was to
load lumber for San Francisco. She
was owned by the Caspar Lumber Com
pany, and registered 800 tons.
The drowned are:
Morris Peterson, first mate.
Andrew Anderson, second mate.
George Offerman, chief engineer.
John Kuhn, assistant engineer.
N. G. Helverson, seaman.
Louis Bruce, seaman.
The cook, name unknown, and five
others whose names are also unknown.

Another Filibuster.

New York, Oct 25.-The Herald has
made investigation into the alleged de-
parture of the f1libustering expedition
from New York on the schooner Silver
Heels last Saturday. AS to the suspic-
ious circumstances attending the depar-
ture of the vessel, H. P. Brown, her
agent said: ''There is nothing suspic-
ious about the sailing of the Silver
Heels. She took nothing which could
be regarded as contraband goods. She
sailed for Norfolk and Charleston in
search of a charter. AS her agent, I
should certainly have known if she had
taken cargo from this port"
Despite the emphatic denial of
Brown, the Herald learns from other
sources that the Silver Heels did leave
New York Saturday night loaded with
arms and ammunition, and that she
went direct to sea. At some point on
the high seas she is expected to trans
fer her cargo to another. craft which
would have armed men on board,
whose destination is Cuba. Tomas
Estrada Palma, the Cuban representa-
tive, said:
I am positive that no armed expedi-
tion left this port for Cuba. "

Columbia Fortifications.
RROGREss MADE UPON THE WORK
Estimates for River and Harbor Inn
provements in Oregon and
Washington.

Washington, Oct. 25.-In the an
nual report of General Wilson, chief of
engineers, the following is said about
defenses at the mouth of the Colum bia:
'sThe defenses include works of the
older type, one garrisoned and one in
charge Of an ordnance sergeant. With
the funds appropriated by the act of
1895, work was commenced during the
year on five emplacements for 1O-inch
guns on disappearing carriages, two
emplacements for 8-inch guns on disap-
pearing carriages, and two mining case
mates. At the close of the year, the
10-inch emplacements were completed,
snd three 10-ineh carriages mounted.
A wharf had been built for the con-
struction Of the 8-inch emplacements,
all necessary plant assembled and the
excavation completed. One mining
casemate was also under construction.
With the funds appropriated by the act
of 1897, an additional empiaoement for
an 8-inch gun on a disappearing car
riage and a mortar battery for eight 12-
inch mortars will be constructed. At
the close of the year, plans for these
works had been partially prepared.
There are no existing works of defense
on Puget sound.
The following estimates are made for
river and harbor improvements for
Oregon and Washington for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1899:

Ho1d-Up on siskiyou Mountain.

Ashland, Or, Oct. 25.-D. G. Pit
ger, gardener, living four miles south
of Ashland, came to town this morning
and reported that, while returning
from a trip to Northern California,
where he had been with load of pro-
duee, and while on Siskiyou mountain,
near Steinman, where the stage road
crosses the railroad, at O'Clock last
evening, he was stopped by two high
waymen, who ordered him down from
his wagon with drawn revolvers, after
which they rified his pockets of sack
containing $48 in silver, but over
looked $50 in gold in trousers pocket.
The robbers then told him to get on
his wagon and make himself scarce,
which he did in hurry, reaching his
home at o'clock, and not reporting to
the local authorities until this morn
ing. The authorities are now investi-
eating the case. Pltzer is not able to
give very complete description Of the
highwaymen.

Cherokees Are Armine.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 25.-A spe-
cial to the Gazette from Fort Smith
says: 1t has leaked out here that the
full-blood Cherokees have been secretly
arming themselves and securing large
quantities of ammunition for several
weeks, but it has been especially brisk
since the return of the attorney sent to
Washington to enjoin the Dawes COM
mission from proceeding to make the
citizenship rolls. The majority of the
Cherokees are opposed to the treaty,
but the most bitter feeling is among
the ignorant full-bloods. They are
prepared to resist any attempt to
change their tribal government. No
immediate outbreak il anticipated. but
great deal depends upon the action of
the council next Monday.

STARVED TO DEATH.
Out of a Population of Twenty Five
Hundred, Only Five Survive.


New York. Oct. 25.-A Herald dis
patch from Havana says: A local
newspaper publishes and vouches for
the following: At Chascapeba, in the
district of San Julian, belonging to the
municipality of Melana del Sur there
were concentrated 2,500 persons. These
reconcentrados were the only inhabit-
ants of the place. Now there are only
FIVE survivors, the rest having died of
hunger and fever. In Havana city it
is no unusual sight to see 10 or 10
lead on one plaza early in the morn
ing. The employers employ regular
roundsmen to remove bodies from the
parks.
There is no abatement in the activity
If the rebels in the western provinces.
The special regiment of Veragua on
it's way to the Rubi hills in Pinar del
Rio, umbled across dynamite bomb
and lost 10 killed and Al wounded.
Further on they came across another,
but it failed to explode. The soldiers
became terrified and refused to proceed.
In Havana province 100 rebels of
Raoul Arango's command entered and
raided town. They carried away
quantity of clothing and provisions
without shot being fred by the garri-
son. Near Artemisa, Havana province,
a band of insurgents under Acoa at
tackled and macheted the Spanish guer-
lila force stationed on the Neptune
estate.
In railroad collision between Arte-
misa and Mangas several soldiers were
killed.
Inhabitants of a suburb of Havana
report hearing firing just outside the
town last night. The firing continued
for several hours, and this morning
some wounded troops were brought in.
No details of the fight have been OBJ
tanned.

Australians Klondike Crazy.

San Francisco, Oct. 26.-Australia
will add it's share of goldhunters to
the Klondike region next year. When
the Alameda sailed from Sydney the
offices of the Oceanic Steamship COM
pany were being besieged with miners
anxious to get to the new land of gold.
Hundreds of letters day were being
received, asking for information about
the land of glaciers and treasure. A
lengthy circular containing the gem
era1 information that was sought was
prepared and copies of it were sent to
inquirers.
1t is thought by the officers of the
Alameda that the next steamer will
come to this port crowded with gold
hunters for the Yukon.
