VICTIMS OF WEYLER'S HATRED
The Friends of Miss Cisneros Thrown
Into Prison.

New York, Sept. 2O.-A special to
the Herald from Havana says: The
Spanish authorities do not hesitate to
Hhow their resentment OF the interest
displayed by the wives of Americans in
the case OF Evangelina Cossio Cisneros.
They have not only abruptly shut off
the Cuban maid from all communica-
tion with her friends but they have
thrown into the prison for lewd women
in Santa Clara five women who dared
to prepare most courteous appeal to
General Weyler for the release of
Evangelina.
These women are Sonora Rosa Plana.
Senoritas Carmen and Nicolasa Gutter
rez, Sonora Micala Ruiz and Senorita
Avila. All these ladies belong to the
best families IN Santa Clara. Sonora
Plana is 81 years of age, and is the
widow OF the former mayor of that city.
Senorita Carmen Gutierrez is the prin-
cipal OF the best and oldest private COL
lege for young women in the island.
She is also principal of municipal col
!ege. Her sister Nicolasa teaches with
her. Sonora Ruiz and Senorita Ayila
are cousins of the Gutierrez family.

Leadville, Colo, Sept. 2O.-Three
section men were killed and one fatally
hurt in a collision this morning be-
tween Midland engine and handcar.
The accident occurred near Basalt, so
miles west of Leadville. Foreman Ly-
ons and four men had finished some
work five miles east of Basalt, and
started for that place on the handcar.
The east-bound passenger was due
about that time, but, as it had beer
late several times, it was decided t,
rush through. The handcar was going
around curve at high rate OF speed
when it encountered the passenger.
Two of the men jumped, while the
other three were caught by the engine
and killed. James Cody is probably
fatally injured. The dead are: Thos.
Lucas, Michael Welch, John Lyons.

WORK OF A SWINDLER.
Used an Astoria Mans Name to Obtain
Money in the East.

Astoria, Or, Sept. 20.-Several East

very smooth swindler, purporting to be
A. G. Foard, of the Foard & Stokes Co., a.,
grocers of this city. He purchases
large bills of goods to be shipped to the
local firm, and then induces the houses
to cash drafts on the company he pur-
ports to represent.
Tuesday the Foard & Stokes Co. re-
ceived telegram from prominent
Boston house, asking if they would
honor A. G. Foard's draft for 5000. A
negative reply was sent. Yesterday
the firm was surprised to receive from
+. McCreary & Co.. of New York, an
invoice, with railway bill of lading
for $l,400 worth of silks. Shortly
afterwards sight draft for $500 ar
rived through one OF the banks. The
draft was signed by A. G. Foard, and
indorsed by McCreary & Co who had
evidently cashed it. This morning. Is
mail brought to the local house an in
voice and a bill of lading for $500
worth of silk umbrellas from Weinel
& Co., of New York. A draft arrived
soon after, but it was for only $50.
More invoices, bills of lading and
drafts are expected.
The fellow, whoever he may be, is q
fraud. He is no doubt trying to i'm.
personate NJ. G. Foard, but became
confused on the initials.

St. Louis, Spet. 2O.-A special to the
Republic from Muskogee, l. T., says:
"A daring attempt was made last night
to hold up the south-bound passenger
train on the NJ, X. & II. at Bond, a
nag station south of here. A short
time before the train was due, the rob-
bers, about eight in number, took
charge of the section foreman and COM
PEELED him to signal the train to stop.
The engineer in charge of the locomo-
tive was an old and trusted employe,
who had been held up several times
before He proceeded to obey the sig
nal but when his engine was within
100 yards of the signal, he noticed sew
eral men near the track and at once
suspected their business. Opening the
throttle, he sped by them as though no
signal had been given. The robbers
having been foiled in their ATTEMPT,
hed, and are still at large.

the city by yellow fever. Measures are

UPTON PACIFIC SALE.


Foreclosure.
Washington, Sept. 20.-It is proba-
BILE that within few days Attorney
General McKenna will announce the
course the government will pursue with
reference to the decree OF foreclosure in
the case of the Union Pacific railroad.
1t can be said upon good authority that
the chances are very strongly against
the governments appealing from the
decree. The cabinet did not pass upon
the question definitely, but, on the con-
trary, postponed final determination
upon it; but there was so much said by
the various members in favor of allow.
ing the sale to proceed that it is consid.
cred by those familiar with the matter
that there is little doubt as to what the
final decision will be.

REACHED THE SENATE.
The Session Will End With the Dis
posal of the Tariff Bill.

Washington, July 22.-The tariff
conference report was reported to the
senate today, but little progress was
made on it beyond the formal reading
of about two-thirds of it. During the
day Tillman openly threatened fill
buster until next December if cotton
bagging and cotton ties were not re-
stored to the free list, but the threat
was regarded as somewhat facetious
The sugar amendments ocas,oned a
long debate, during which Allison
stated that the conference rates were
lower than those of the senate, and
largely Il concession to the house.
Vest, Jones, Berry and White ques-
toned this statement, urging that the
sugar trust secured larger benefits from
the conference schedule than from any
previously offered. The lumber amend
ment also brought out animated criti-
cism from Teller and Pettigrew.
Early in the day the senate passed a
joint resolution authorizing and re.
questing the president to take all neces-
sary steps for the release of the Com
petitor's prisoners from prison at
Havana.
The general opinion is that the
quorum of the senate will disappear
very soon after the disposal of the
tariff bill, but the determination of the
supporters of the Harris Pacific rail-
road resolution to secure vote upon it
before final adjournment may delay
that consummation for some days.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER..
Downing. Hopkins & Company's Review
of Trade.

There was much activity in the Chi
cago market during the past week.
There was temporary advance in July
wheat of cents per bushel, but the
end of the week shows tendency to
sell out on the confident assertions that
the present week will see good begin
ming of the movement of new wheat
to market.
There is no indication that the de-
mands from the milling interests will
be sufficient to head off any great guam
tity of it rs the flour trade is appar-
emily calling for lessened rather than
increased production. 1t therefore re-
mains with the farmer to say whether
or not he will sell now or at some time
in the future. The developments of
The last few days lead the trade to be-
lieve that there will be the usual lib
eral marketing of wheat almost direct
from the harvester. Looked at in the
broad sense, however, the wheat mar
ket is in a strong position the world
over, and the coming twelve months
should see higher price level than the
last twelve. America should take Il
more than usually prominent part in
the trade of the year, as the present crop
promises to be not only the finest quail
ity but relatively larger than that of
any other country. The government
figures on production issued July 10,
are practically ignored by the trade.
They indicate crop nearly 40, 900, 900
bushels less than the most radical in
the trade will estimate. The weak
point in the report is the notoriously
inaccurate figures on area. No one in
the trade will seriously entertain the
proposition that Oklahoma has but 200,
600 acres in wheat this year.
The London Times of recent date
says: "The prospect of the harvest in
Eastern Europe are disquieting indeed.
In Austria and Hungary and along the
whole line of the Danube the harvest
will be bad. Immense tracts of corn
fields in Servia, Bulgaria and ROumania
have been laid under water by destruc-
tive floods, and what water has spared,
rust has greatly injured. So bad, in
deed, is the prospect that Austria and
Hungary, instead of exporting wheat
will have to import it. At any rate it
is clear that the wheat supply from
the Danube is likely to be exceedingly
small, if not altogether wanting this
season.

ALASKAN TOWNS DESERTED
Ciondyke Rush Is Fast Depopulating
the Coast Settlements.

Clondyke Rush Is Fast Depopulating
the Coast Settlements.
San Francisco, July 26.-Among the
arrivals from Alaska on the steamer
Bertha was DR.. G. F. Dickinson, of
Kodiak island, which lies just at the
head of Cook inlet. He says the gold
excitement all over the territory of AL
aska is something unprecedented, and
that people are flocking to the Clon-
dyke in way that threatens to depop-
ulate many of the trading posts and
coast towns.
"When l left Kodiak, two weeks
ago." said DR.. Dickinson, 'the people
were leaving all that section and flock
ing in the direction of the Clondyke.
In way, the situation is appalling, for
many of the industries are left prac-
tically without the means of operation.
Mines that are paying handsomely at
Cook inlet have been deserted.
SIN my opinion there are just as
good placer diggings to be found at
Cook inlet as in the Clondyke region.
There is not foot of ground in all
that country that does not contain gold
in more or less appreciable quantities.
The great trouble has been that people
have not had either the courage or op-
portunity, | do not know which, to
thoroughly prospect the country. l
think that in another month the coun-
try will be practically deserted. There
is room about Cook inlet for thousands
of men, and there is certainly no better
place in the world for poor man."

BRAVE DEED OF NAVAL ENSIGN
Son of Admiral Gherardi Performs n
Gallant Rescue.

AN'sNuts
New York, July 26.-An accident on
board the battle-ship Texas while living
at the Cobb dock in the navy yard came
very nearly resulting fatally to two of
the crew and also led to another act of
bravery on the part of Ensign w. R.
Gherardi, son of Rear Admiral Ban.
croft Gherardi.
The second whaleboat of the Texas
was cast away shortly before 2 O'Clock.
Two men were in the boat, which was
hoisted to the davits on the port side at
the time. John Avapian, a landsman,
and sailor named Speers were getting
ready to lower the boat, when the
former, it is said, accidentally struck
the detaching lever, releasing the boat,
which fell about 20 feet to the water.
The two men fell overheard and the
boat filled with water. The shock was
so great that the men were stunned
and unable to keep atioat. The cry of
imam overheard" was raised on the
shin.
Ensign Gherardi rushed on deck.
and, throwing OH his coat, plunged over
the ships side. Three seamen followed
him. Avapian, who sank almost in
stantly, was just down for second
when the gallant ensign rescued him.
Speers was rescued by the other men.
Avapian and Speers soon recovered
from the shock.
The gallant rescue, which was wit
messed by officers and men of the ship
in the vicinity, elected hearty cheers
and praise for the rescuers. Ensign
Gherardi, who is an exceedingly modest
young officer, came in for a special
share of comm endation.
When attached to the Maine last
February, in storm off the Carolina
coast, Ensign Gherardi saved the life
of drowning sailor under the most
perilous circumstances.

BETTER WAIT TILL SPRING.
The Present Bad Time to Start for
the ClOndyke.

New York, July 26.-The World
says: The Clondyke fever has not
abated a particle. The offices of the
railorad companies and ticket agencies
are visited by adventurous spirits eager
to seek their fortune in the Alaskan
gold fields. From information OBJ
tanned by reporters, those seriously con-
sidering making the trip will dc, well
to postpone their departure for some
time. Under the most favorable cir
cumstatnces the working days in the
Yukon gold fields cannot exceed 100 in
the year. For the other 265 days the
earth Is covered with snow, the ground
is frozen, and the rivers closed with
ice. Anybody starting from New York
at this season would reach the Yukon
river just about the beginning of the
long Alaskan winter, and it would be
far more comfortable to him to remain
in the states and go to the new Edo
RADIO at more seasonable time.
