Elmore bulletin. [volume] (Rocky Bar, Idaho) 1889-1906, 1897-03-03

Washington, Feb. 25.-The senate
made slow progress today on the Indian
appropriation bill, disposing of only one
item of the bill, that directing the
opening of the Uncompahgre Indian
reservation in Utah. 1t involved a con-
tiict with the executive branch, which
has steadily resisted opening these
lands on the ground that they contained
valuable mineral deposits Villas en-
deavored to have a royalty reserved for
the government, but was defeated in
this, and the clause was agreed to after
an all-day debate.
During the day resolution by Mills
was adopted, asking the president for
information as to the death of DIR. Ruiz
at Guanahacoa, Cuba.
In the course of the debate, Wilson of
Washington, alluded to the presidents s
order of yesterday, withdrawing from
the public domain 2l000, 900 acres of
land and constituting various forest re-
serves.
Cannon declared that there was not
the slightest knowledge of the subject
displayed on the part of the order max
ing the designation, and that land in
Utah had been designated as forest
land when in fact there was no timber
on it larger than a jackrabbit bush.

WITH FIRE
Governors Palace at Canea
Burned BY Rebels.
ARABS THREATEN THE CITY
Further Fighting at Various Points
on the Islsnd--Powers to Issue
Proclamation.

Canea, Island of Crete, Feb 26-
The governors palace, with all the
archives, was burned today. As fire
broke out elsewhere in the town at the
same time it is suspected incendiaries
have been at work
The situation is most grave Armed
and excited Mussulmans are paradiug
the streets full of indignation at the
news from Selino, where the Mussul-
mans are besiged. Benghazi Arabs
threatened to burn the whole Of Canea.
While the palace was burning a
strong box containing 81, 900 in gold
fell into the ruins and broke open,
whcreupon there was a wild rush by
Turkish soldiers and Mussulmans to
secure the treasure The foreign ma
rines were obliged to fire blank cart
ridges to restrain them, and for time
a serious conflict between the Turks
and Europeans was threatened
The admirals are about to issue a
proclamation in all the towns and vii
lagos, explaining the reason for the
presence of the foreign fleets in Cretan
waters, and exhorting tranquility.
The population is so divided in inyet-
crate hatred that schemes for reforms
are futile. The best plan, it is argued,
is to permit the Greek troops to occupy
the country and escort the beseiged
Mussulmans abroad, for the Mussui-
mans cannot remain in Crete.
The suggestion of the consuls that
foreign force be landed at Selino to
cover the retreat of the beleagured Mus
sulmans has not been adopted, the
available number of marines being in
sufficient. In view of the large force
of insurgents, the admirals have decid-
ed to confine their action to the dis
patch Of warships to Selino.
Attacks by insurgents continue at
various points. The insurgents have
descended into the plains behind the
convent Of Chrysophighi and set fire to
the Mussulman houses.

BuFFETED BY WINDS.
The Atlantic Lines Encounter Heavy
weather.

New York, Feb. 25.-During the
past twenty-four hours storm tossed
steamers arrived in port bringing start
ling tales of narrow escapes from death.
The 400 souls on the Adriatic, just ar
rived from Liverpool after the most
tempestuous voyage in its career, are
thanking Providence the vessel did not
turn turtle in midooean during the trip
across
This vessel had narrow escape from
foundering in gale on Wednesday last,
when her cargo shifted and the engines
became deranged. 1t was the climax
of six-days' struggle with the ele-
ments. The crew worked with despera-
tion. All available men were set to
work trimming cargo. When it was
nearly finished the machinery became
unmanageable.
The destiny Of the vessel was shifted
from the crew to the men in the chief
engineers department, and for six
hours, during which the Adriatic was
hove to, her fate hung in the balance.
On Wednesday, while the seas were yet
making millraee OF the decks, the ma
chlnery was repaired and the vessel
again shaped course for this port.
The Adriatic had forty-fiye cabin and
ninety-fve steerage passengers and a
crew, making a total of nearly 400 peo-
pie She left Queenstown February
II. Captain Snowden said the trip was
the worst he had ever seen in his
twenty-five years experience.
The St. Paul also experienced most
tempestuous voyage. The vessel was
delayed by heavy seas propelled by
fierce western gales, from the time she
left Southampton. To add to the dis
comfort of the passengers rain fell al
most continuously, making it impos-
sible for them to go on deck
In all my experience, " said Captain
Jameson, 81 do not remember of a
rougher February"
