PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 29.-Paul Ducleo, q farmer living near McMinn- vile, was shot and killed at 10 o'clock this morning by Fred Clemens. young man 20 years old The killing was the result of an old feud which has in- volved the two families for long time.
 The Coroner's inquest disclosed facts which are corroborated by the resi- dents of the neighborhood as to the cause of the shooting. Young Clemens was summoned and told the story sub stantially as follows:
 T started to go hunting through the field to the line between our place and that of Mackay, and from there l went down the hill to L. Bakers place, where I saw DulceO approaching from the direction that I had come from. When he was within fifty yards of me he began to abuse me, swearing at me and threatening to kill me. AS he drew near he pulled off his mittens and began to draw his gun. I tried to evade him and said that I did not want to have any trouble with him. Ducleo kept coming and then began to raise his gun. When he had raised it to the level of my head I fired"
 The story sems to show that Ducleo Qld not intend to shoot Clemens, but was trying to intimidate him.
 The trouble between the Ducleos and the Clemens family nearly reached a eli max last fall, when Clemens and his father and the two Ducleo boys were fighting. Since then the bitterness has been more intense. and the Ducleo boys have threatened the lives of the Clemenses. Ducleo's revolver was found by his side, cooked ready for action.
 The CorOners jury fully eXonerated Clemens. The latter was perfectly cool and told a straightforward story of the shooting. He is a fine-loOking young man and has a large circle of friends in NTcMinuville.
 Ducleo was living with his brother on their farm adjoining the farm of the Clemens family. When his brother heard of the shooting he raved like a madman, and it is feared that the trouble is not yet at an end. Both the Clemenses and the Ducleos are well to do.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

BURLINGAME, Iowa, Jan. 29.- Frightfully mangled and eaten by rats, the body of Mrs. Fanny Rathburn was found frozen in a pool of blood on the floor of her cellar this afternoon. Near by was bloody ax. In the bedroom above her 12-year-old daughter was found dead and frozen. with her throat cut, and with every evidence of having been criminally assaulted. Life had been extinct for a week.
 Mrs. Rathburn lived in a frame house in an isolated district. She was a widow with two children, Mary. the murdered girl, and Frank. who ;s in the reform school at Eldora, Iowa. For week the neighbors had noticed a deserted appearance about the house. but supposed the women had gone on a visit to Greenbay Township, twelve miles south of the city, where they oc- casionally visited.
 To-day a messenger boy called at the house and found the front door. standing aJar and snow drifted in upon the carpet. He told neighboring wo- man of the fact and she told Charles Patterson, who went to the house and entered.
 Nothing seemed wrong until he opened the door into the cellar. when he was confronted with the horrible sight of Mrs. Rathburn lying dead and frozen In pool Of blood on the floor A bloody ax stood near Turning from the sickening sight Patterson pursued his investigation till he arrived at a small bedroom off the parlor. where he found Mary's dead body on the floor near the bed. with her throat cut. The appearance of her clothing, which was torn, and of the bed. which was GOV cred with blood, indicated that dread ful struggle had been enacted, and that the purpose of murder was to assault the girl. Four or five men are under arrest. one. Abe Storms and a brother who both live near where the woman visited south Of town, are charged with the crime, having been seen at the house Sunday night last It is said Mrs. Rathburn had refused them the house several times. and had said she was afraid they would kill her. The most damaging clew is a black and white necktie, which the girl had torn from the neck of her assailant. Every effort Is being made to fasten the guilt on the right parties.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 KANSAS CITY. Jan. 29.-The Journal this morning prints a remarkable inter view with John F. Kennedy, the alleged train rObber, who was found on the street Friday night in an unconscious condition wearing false whiskers and having in his possession a mask, a red lantern a shotgun, a revolver. ammunition and all the other accoutrementS for train rob- bery. The Journal says that in an inter view with a Journal reporter Kennedy freely admitted that he and his associ. dtes had planned to hold up and rob me Union Pacific west-bound overland train. which leaves here at 7:30 o'clock in the evening, and that they had been given A tip that the train would carry over s6O O10 in treasure. The point selected accord- ing to this story, was about six miles our of the city, on the Kansas side of the line, near Muncie station. which was the scene of one of Jesse James exploits.
 The plan. according to Kennedy's aI- legged statement, was to rob the train and get back into the city before the flat ties" as Kennedy designated the police could be notified that anything had han, pened. Kennedy would not reveal the name of the man who was riding with him when his horse fell and threw him.
 The police are at loss to know what to do with Kennedy, who is still detained It is probable, however, that he will be prosecuted for carrying concealed weap- ons and .vagrancy.

DECLARES THE SPANISH
 FLEET fS WOW WHOLLY
 UNFIT FOB SERVICE.
Unpleasant Things Said by the Organ Of tbe cdrhsts m Discussing the Visit Of
 the Maine to HuYdnd.

LONDON, Jan. 29.-The Correro, or gan of the Carlists. discussing the visit of the United States battleship Maine to Havana, expresses the belief that the Spanish public is justifiably alarmed, adding: AS fact, it is the Govern ment itself which Is seriously alarmed, though every effort is made to disguise it. In spite of the official statement of that, Cervaras, the admiral of the fleet, on Tuesday last, at a conference with the Minister of Marine, asserted that the recent evolutions had demonstrated the perfected condition of the Spanish fleet, Admiral CerYaras, in reality, re- ported that there was not ship ready for service; that the vessels not actual ly in drydock ought to be there: that many of the boilers were defective and that some of the ships were not yet armed and that most of the vessels require cleaning. In view of the per fidy of the United States, it is not sur prising that such neglect and helpless ness create alarm.
 According to the same paper, great importance is attached to the confer ence between Nj. 'Patenotre, the French Minister to Spain, and Senor Gullon the Spanish Minister for Foreign Af- fairs, who, it is said, discussed the ac- ton of the United States "as 1t is we'll known that there is great alarm in France at the course of events The fact that M. PatenCtre is intimately conversant with United States affairs. lends additional importance to the mat ter"

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The Herald S Washington correspondent telegraphs
 The Captain General has returned my visit. Everything is tranquil. Un- doubtedly the effect of the Maine's wis it has been to increase the friendly feeling toward the United States. No restriction is now placed on officers of the vessel with respect to going ashore"
 This in effect is the contents of a ca blegram received at the Navy Depart ment to-day from Captain c. D. Sigs- bee, commanding the battleship Maine, which is lying in the harbor of Has vana-
 The administration authorities were prepared for this dispatch. I learned
 to-day that soon after the arrival of the Maine in Havana harbor Captain Sigsbee- cabled to the department, stat ing that the presence of the vessel has increased the favorable regard felt for Americans by the Spanish authorities | in Cuba. Furthermore. he has informed | the department that he and the off l cers under his command have been treated with the greatest cordiality and that every courtesy that could be desired had been extended to them.
 It is felt by the authorities that the
 moral effect of the Maines visit has been excellent, and will benefit Ameri- can interests, just as Captain Sigsbee's s
 dispatch indicates it has already done to some extent.
 With such good results following the visit of the Maine to Havana. the ad- | ministration officials say that the i jingoes of the country and Congress | have no further ground for urging in- | reference by the administration in the | Cuban question. It was said at the | Navy Department that it has not yet been finally determined when the | Maine will leave Havana, although it | is said to be highly probable that the vessel will, with the battleship Texas | represent the navy at the Mardi Gras festival at New Orleans on February 21 Orders sent by the department to Rear Admiral Sicard direct him to as- sign two vessels to this duty which shall reach New Orleans on February IT. As there is no intention on the part of the
 authorities to keep the Maine at Hav-
 ana more than two weeks. because of
 the sanitary condition of the port, 1t is
 expected that she will be relieved by Rear-Admiral Sicard, her place in Hav-
 ana harbor being taken by one of the smaller cruisers.

which they surrounded. When the hut had been completely surrounded a squad of men was ordered to advance cautiously, arriving near the entrance before being seen. A child about eight years old was playing outside the door way, when she discovered the soldiers, and screaming in alarm ran toward the hut to inform the inmates of the pres ence of the Spanish. A volley from the squad stretched her lifeless on the ground and then a general firing was ordered by the Spanish commander which resulted in the wounding Of Arangueren in the leg, the killing of his servant and the mortal wounding of his sweetheart and another woman, the latter of whom fled toward the woods and fell dead a short distance away Arangueren's sweetheart died from the effects of her wounds while being taken to Campo Florido.
 Arangueren was in bed when the Spaniards arrived, and. hearing the alarm given by the child. ran out of the hut, only partly dressed, crying, 'I am Arangueren." and apparently meaning that he ought not to be killed. His captors seized him and made a close search of his clothing for docu- ments relating to the death of Colonel Ruiz. which they secured. They also obtained a verbal declaration from their prisoner on the same subject and then a bullet was fired through his breast and he fell, but not dying in stantly, a bayonet was thrust through his head. the weapon entering near the mouth. ending his life
 The Spaniards captured man be- lieved to be the dynamiter of Aran- gueren's band, and two boys who said they knew the location of the grave of Colonel Ruiz.
 The boys. in charge of a Spanish col umn, have left for the place where they say the grave is located.
 While Arrangements death Is consid- cred just vengeance for the execution of Ruiz. the killing of women and chill dren when they might have been taken alive is generally condemned.
 A number of prominent persons at tended the funeral of General Aran- gueren, who was buried in the private tomb of his family. Among those who acted as escort to the body were three generals of the insurgents in the last war.
 The horse and saddle of Colonel Ruiz were seized when Arangueren was killed.
