Minnesota Means Minnesota.

In the case of the Minneapolis millers
against H. R. Eagle, the circuit court
of appeals in Chicago has reversed the
findings of Judge Showalter, and
grants the injunction asked, restrain
ing the use of the words '::Minneap.
oils" and minnesota" on all brands of
flour not made in Minneapolis or Min
nesota The court holds that the use
of the words quoted by millers in Chi
cago, Milwaukee, or elsewhere outside
of Minnesota, is an unfair means of
taking advantage of the reputation of
the Minneapolis and Minnesota millers.
It is still further held that it is fraud
and an imposition on the public, and
that the court of equity has full right
to intervene and stop it.

Low Rates to the Pacific Coast.

!, The low rates in effect on the trans
continental lines while not increasing
the Alaska traffic which is now begin
ming to drop off until the opening of
the Yukon route, has now assumed an
other aspect IN the increased move
ment of settlers and prospectors to
Montana and Washington. The Great
Northern last week took over 1000
settlers to North Dakota, the largest
number of actual settlers ever moved
at one time in the history of railaoad-
ing, while all the lines have carried an
unusual number of homeseekers to
various parts of the Northwest. It is
not known how long a half cent per
mile rate will continue to the Pacific
Coast-$10 from st. Paul to Seattle,
but the outlook is favorable to pro-
longed struggle which will enable
homeseekers to 60 west and look the
country over. j r."

Lady Ernestine Brudenell-Bruce,
daughter Of the marquis of Ailesbury,
wants to sail her own yacht, and has
applied to the board of trade to be ex-
amined for masters certificate. The
board refuses to examine her because
she is a woman.
A new trade route between India and
eastern Persia has been established,
which runs for half the distance
through lands under British protection,
and shortens the journey by month.

established along the road.

BLANCO SUBSIDIES.
Issues a Proclama tion Telling of Peace and
Freeing Cuban Prisoners.

New York, Aug. s-According to ad-
vices received from Havana by the
Cuban junta, Captain General Blanco
appreciates the fact that he must soon
withdraw himself and his forces from
the island of Cuba. He has assumed a
mild demeanor, which compares
strangely with his previous bombastic
attitude and frequently expressed de-
termination to hold out in Havana to
the death, and he is treating the insur-
gents with great consideration. In a
recent proclamation he made known to
the Spanish people of Cuba that Spain,
through the Intervention of foreign
powers, had been forced to the dis
graceful issue of sueing for peace, and
that there would be no more war, and
no further use for soldiers. He offered
pardon to all Cuban political prison
ers and more than l5o were released in
Havana.
In explaining Spaip's defeat in his
proclamation, Captain General Blanco
informs his readers that Spain, having
suffered SO much in the present war,
could not resist the interference OF for
eign powers and go to war with all
countries at once; so she was compelled
to accede to their dictation and sue
for peace. Havana, he says, will be
given over to the Americans and Gu
bans, and the Spaniards win evacuate.
Captain General Blanco assures the
soldiers and all Spanish residents who
wish to return to Spain, or go to other
spanish' possessions, that they will be
given free transportation by their
mother country to their destination,
and will be protected from interference
from either Cubans or Americans lie
suggests that the Cubans be forgiven
and no longer regarded as enemies,
and that no unkind feelings be cher

WYOMING MURDER.
ALARMING DISCOVERY MADE
NEAR LANDER.
Horses Belonging to a Utah sheepman
Found In "a Reservoir Shot to Death
No Trace of Their Owner
His Companion.

Lander, Wyo., Aug, s.-Au Indian
agency today, bringing the information
that s. Conant Parks and L. ii. Fourt
of this place, who were delegates to
the state republican convention at
Douglas, and who were on their way
to attend the same, had discovered in
reservoir some 40 miles from Lander,
the bodies of two horses, which had
been shot. Near the reservoir was
blackboard to which the horses had
recently been hitched.
This news caused no little excite
ment in Lander. From the general de-
scriptiou OF the horses and wagon 1t is
believed to be the outfit of w. T.
Noble, who left here last Tuesday, in
company with r. n. Harvey, a clothing
salesman for st. Paul (Minn.) house.
Mr.. Noble is one of the wealthiest
sheep men in Wyoming and was on his
way to Casper to make shipment OF
mutton and wool.
From the time that the horses were
supposed to have been in the water, It
is feared by Mr.. Mobiles friends here
that he has met with foul play. Tele-
grams have been sent to Casper, in
quiring of his arrival there, but up to
this time, 9;45 p m, nothing has been
received.
A messenger who is acquainted with
Mr.. Mobiles outfit was dispatched from
here at noon, but he will be unable to
get there and back before midnight.

BATTLE AT MANILA.
BATTERY A. UTAH VOLUNTEERS,
IN THE ENGAGEMENT.
spaniards Attacked a Position Held by the
Americans and Were RepuIsed with
Heavy yLosses-American Loss
go In Killed and Wounded.

San Francisco, Aug. 9.-The Utah
boys of battery A, who sailed for Ma.
nila on the second expedition, have
hnd taste of war. An advanced posi-
ton they were holding, together with
the First battalion California, Tenth
pennsylvania and First battalion Third
artillery, regulars, was stormed by the
Spaniards on the night OF July 81.
The attack was repulsed with heavy
losses to the Spanish troops, estimated
at 500 killed and wounded. About
lifty in killed and wounded was the
loss to the Americans.
Immediately after the arrival of
General Merritt, which occurred about
July 20, news of active operations was
expected. His plans were to demand
the surrender of the city, and to take
steps to enforce the demand il neces.
sary. 1t was not expected, however,
that the Spaniards would be the ag-
gressors. Like the campaign ut Snnti-
ago, 1t was supposed they would lie in
wait in trenches and behind breast
works and await the coming of the
enemy.
One of the first acts of Merritt was
to surround the city of Manila, gener.
ally placing the troops Immediately
behind the insurgents. In some cases,
however, where there were particu-
larly favorable positions. our troops
either displaced those of Aguinaldo or
moved up in front. 1t was one of the
latter that the spaniards attacked, and
the losses they sustained shows that
the attack was fierce
On the American side il was particu.
larly an artillery engagement. The
attacking forces were probably in
fantry, seeking to capture some big
guns for defensive purposes, of which
they are believed to be sorely in need.
Battery A, the Utah battery which
was in the engagement, is composed
largely OF Salt Lake men. 1t was re-
cruited to its maximum strength from
all over the state, but the nucleus and
many of the recruits were from Salt
Lake county.
Batteries A and B were mustered in.
to service at Fort Douglas, May Q, and
left for San Francisco May 20. They
sailed for Manila on the Colon June Is,
The officers of battery A at the time
of muster were: Captain, r. w. Young
first lieutenant, George w Gibbs; sec.
ond lieutenants, Ray C. Naylor and w
2. Webb; first seargent, Ethan l..
Allen. Before sailing, however, Cap.
tain Young was raised to the rank OF
major, resulting in promotions for all
the officers, so 1t is probable that Cap.
tain Gibbs commanded the battery

special dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Examiner, under date of July 81,
says:
A heavy engagement took place to-
night between the American and Span

gagged were the First Battalion of Cal
