College Regent Dead.

S. R. Hughes, o: Forest Grove, state
senator from Washington county and re-
gent of the Oregon Agricultural College,
died at his home Tuesday afternoon of
apoplexy.
AS regent of the college MIR. Hughes
has proven himself al able friend o! the
Institution, interested i'll all that pertain
ed to its welfare. His death is deeply
regretted here. In his official visits to
Corvallis he came more Or less in con-
tact with our citizens and they learned to
admire and respect hira.
The terms of Re .ents Yates, Nash aad
Davenport expired several weeks ago,
but Governor Lord has not filled the
places yet. 1t is expected that he will
do so soon after the state convention
meets and doubtless at the same time he
will name successor to Senator Hughes.

dered program. Miss Alma DeHAian has

many years on the island, and thor.
oughly understands the conditions
of affairs and the character of the
Spanish people who control the is
land, says the Spaniards will not
surrender without stubborn resist
ance. He admits that the Spanish
army is not very efficient, and in
most part ill-provisioned and poorly
equipped. The soldiers have re-
ceived no pay for many months,
and the officers have only received
half-pay. The supplies for many
months past, the Consul says, ~.

been receiving several shiploadse,
The capture of the Panama, whic.S
was taken by the United States war
ship Mangrove yesterday, with its
large cargo of supplies of various
kinds for the army and the Span
iards on the island, will, the Con-
sui says, be a serious loss. He
thinks that General Blanco, the
Cuban commander, will be able to
raise quite a large army Of Span
iards tor defensive purposes, and if
they could secure supplies, would
be able to hold out for many
months. He thinks that the insur-
gent forces are greatly exaggerated,
and that they cannot muster, all
told, more than $4,000 or 90, ,ooo
men. The insurgents, he says, are
also poorly fed and equipped. If
they could be supplied with arms
and munitions, together with food
and clothing, by the United States,
they might be able to give Blanco
and his Spanish army good deal
of trouble.
Consul Hance, who has been
resident at Cardenas, and is fatui-
liar with the situation Of affairs at
that point, does not believe that the
occupation of Cuba by our forces
will be difficult task. AS to
whether the Cubans would be. com
petent to establish Va stable govern
ment once the Spaniards have been
forced from the island, the Consul
is not disposed to- give a decided
answer.
There is much diversity of opin-
; ion at Washington among military
and naval authorities concerning
the proposed landing in Cuba, at a
port to be opened by our fleet, of
brigade of regular infantry, cavalry
and artillery, containing i'll all
5000 or 5000 men, to establish and
! guard base of supplies.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1898-04-28

batteries of Manila. An engagement
is not expecteu for at least two days.
Without giving any explanation for
setting this time, the department
allows it to be surmised that the es-
innate is based on its knowledge of
Admiral Dewey's whereabouts.
There is no certainty that there will
be an engagement at all in the i'm
mediate future, the main purpose of
the expedition being to seize and hold
some suitable Spanish territory in the
Philippines as base of operations in
Asiatic waters. 1t is possible that this
can be done without attacking the
other at all, by seizing a suitable port
on some adjacent island, without forti-
flea .ons, the sympathy of whose in
habitants is towards the insurgents.
In the War Department there is a
growing belief that the campaign pro-
per in Cuba will not be in full swing
before next fall, when the rainy season
has ended. That belief, however,
has not prevented the officers whose
duty 1t is to get the troops together
from pushing their work with the
greatest energy.
Thus within twelve hours after the
, Hull bill became law, the depart
ment was able to begin to send out
circulars prescribing the methods to
be followed in recruiting the regular
army up to its full war strength of 6r,-
900 men. The enormous amount OF
work involved in thus increasing the
army, regular and volunteer, has
caused General Miles to abandon his
Southern trip for the present.
The officials of the department were
overwhelmed to-day with all sorts OF
protests and appeals against their
action in making the assignments OF
troops among the volunteer forces and
many changes may be looked for.
Several of the United States Con-
suls who were located at different
points in the island of Cuba, among
them James N. Springer, Joseph
L. Hance and Mr.. Brice, are at
Washington and have been in con-
ference with State Department Off
cials, and have communicated a
large amount of important informa-
ton concerning the situation of
affairs at Havana, Cardenas and
Matanzas These Consuls took
their departure at the time Consul
General Lee left Havana, they hav-
ing heen ordered to turn over their
affairs to the British Consuls al
those points.

amendments requiring that the quota
of militia from the various States and
Territories shall be in companies,
ops and batteries, in order to be
accepted by the President. That will
satisfy to some extent the complaint
coming from all parts of the country
that only parts of regiments or COM
panies will be taken.
No very important news was re-
ceived at the Navy Department to-
day as far as can be learned. The
American fleet at Hong Kong has
been obliged to leave that port under
the neutrality proclamation of the
British Government, and it is believed
that it has gone to Manila, which
port, it is expected, will fall into
American hands.
Spanish rule in the Philippines is
more of a shell, if possible, than in
Cuba, and the population in the
Philippines is so much greater than in
Cuba that it will not take loAg to turn
the Spanish out of their possessions
there. That is expected to be one of
the early developments of the war.
The President is being besieged
just now with applications for ap-
polntment as generals, colonies, ETC.,
in the army. 1t is generally under
stood that Consul General Lee, in the
very fitness of things, will be given a
command.
Postmaster General Smith issued a
notice to-day stopping all letters in
tended for Spain or her colonies.
Now that war exists, there will be'no
mail communications between the
two countries, and letters intended
for Spain will be returned to the
senders whenever that is possible.
WEDNESDAY.
There was no apparent change in
the situation to-day. The blockading
squadron remains passive before
Havana with no present purpose OF
bombarding, or of drawing the fire OF
the shore batteries.
AS to the reports OF the lmminence
of naval battle off the Philippine
Islands, the naval authorities at Wash
ington seriously doubt whethe- the
Spanish fleet will m"':e stand rains,
the American ships. Their reason ,ol
this belief is that the ST. nish fleet is
very inferior in number and quality
to the American force under Dewey.
The department, therefore, is salts
fed that the Spanish fleet will not 60
to do battle on the high seas with
Admiral Dewey, but will remain in
! port to secure the protection of the
