OF the Associated Press: "Guanica and
Cinga are in the dlsinfected portion of
the island. Matteo. the insurgentleader,
lives at Yauco, few miles inland. Had
1--WE landed at Cape San Juan line of
rifle pits might have stopped our ad-
vance"
There is no doubt that General Miles
plans are being kept absolutely secret
The spirit Of the troops. men and officers
is admirable. The Illinois and Massa-
chusetts contingents, which have been
cooped up on board the Yale and Rita
for fortnight, will be delighted 20 get
ashore. and all will be well protected by
artillery before a serious advance is be-
gun.
Guanica is the most lovely spot yet
occupied by our forces. 1T is the seat
OF the coffee and sugar industry and
large herds OF cattle are pasturing in
the meadows, which are bordered by
cocoa nut palms. Many head OF cattle
and a large number OF horses have been
driven into the mountains by their own
ers. Some of them will be recaptured
Guanica is about six miles south of
Yauco, OF which city It forms the port
and with which II Is connected by good
road, The town Is situated on bay OF
the same name which forms one OF the
best ports In the whole island. The
banks TO the right are steep and form a
natural wharf Three vessels can lie
alongside and unload by means Of gang
planks. Vessels OF 30 feet draught can
enter. the bay easily and proceed close
I'm shore. The conspicuous advantage
OF this port. asideSron its excellent har-
Dor facilities Tor the transports. is the
utter absence OF fortlncations or mines.

The Golden Harvest

Harvesting or rather "threshing"
in Marion county is now In full blast.
Go out In any direction from Salem
and the hum OF the machine can be
heard. Some machines have been
threshing for nearly week while the
majority started up the first of this
week.
The yield will be fairly good. On
the red Hill lands the output will be
particularly good, fall sown grain, OF
course making much the best yield.
On low lands the spring sown grain
will be very light. There are also
places In Marion county where the
aphis has done quite perceptible dam.
age to grain on low or fiat lands. One
report has been received from field
OF late sown oats chat only yielded
two bushels TO the acre, another only
ten bushels. or course these are ex-
ceptionaly bad cases. To counter
balance this farmer from the Polk
county hills southwest Of Salem re-
ports yield of So bushels of oats to
the acre. Taken all Ia all a conserva-
tive farmer estimates about an aver
age crop the county over.

Food Supply Short.

MANILA, July 30, via Hong Kong,
Aug 10. The scarcity Of food now
affects even the richest classes in
Manila. There is no meat, bread or
-four, except very small reserves,
chiefly laid under requlSition for the
Spanish troops. The newspapers,
rigidly censored, admit that famine
exists, and the unprecedented rains
are causing an epidemic. They pre-
tend that the disorders are trivial
intestinal ailments, but it Is believed
most Of them are disentary, due to
wretched food and the dangerous
character Of the water. A number of
important persons are i'll. An abat-
toir has been established for slaught-
erlng of horses and dogs. The news
papers admit that the military
bakers are reduced TO the necessity of
using rice, the stock Of which will
shortly be exhausted. The stock of
fuel, too, is nearly exhausted, and
the bakers are burning doors and
window frames.
A decree has been issued author
izing the entry of private premises
and the seizure of cattle, and horses
there, for nominal payments, made
In worthless drafts. Several animals
belonging TO British owners have
been taken, though there were plenty
belonging to Spanish owners that
had not been seized. An attempt
was made TO seize the indispensable
pony OF the consular physician, and
considerable indignation has been
expressed. There may possibly be
more trouble oyer it.

NEW YORK, Aug. lO.-A Parls
dispatch printed here says a dispatch
received there from Madrid via Blar-
ritz says the Spanish reply to the
United states expresses the hope that
the American government will not
turn Cuba oyer TO the insurgents,
but will retain control Of the gov
ernment OF the island in order that
the interests OF Spanish property
owners may be respected. Spain also
intlmates her preference for the
retention OF Porto Rico, surrenGering
any Of her Pacific pOsesSiens TO Tue
Americans instead. The Spanish
government is satisfied with the APP
polntme1t of a mixed commission to
settle the question Of the disposition
Of the Philippines, and suggests that
the meeting of the commission be
held in Paris.

WILL NOT UNITE.
Willamette University mot in the Com
bination With Portland and Tacoma.

Willamette University mot in the Com
bination With Portland and Tacoma.
The Oregonian OF August 8, had
report I the action OF the committees
from Portland and Tacoma University
consolidating the two universities. IL
also stated that Willamette Uniyer
sity OF Salem would probably join
the combination.
Rev. John Parsons the financial
agent OF Willamette University was
seen and gave the following explana-
tion OF the situation
There was committee appointed
by the Oregon conference TO take
steps To consolidate the two Meth.
odist schools IN Oregon. Portland
University declined to act with this
committee and the committee
had nothing TO with the recent action
OF Portland and Tacoma universities.
The'Portland and Tacoma universities
appointed committees and they had
made arrangements TO consolidate
without sanction ofOregon conference
committee ard for this reason VIII
lamette had thought best TO not take
any action Ia the matter. And there
were other reasons, Both Portland
and Tacoma universities are appar-
emily insolvent aud it:seems necessary
to their existence that they do some
thiIg TO better their condition. The
resolutions drawn up by the com
mittee provided that:
1st. The place getting the consoli-
dated schools should pay the floating
Indebtedness OF the schools interested.
End To make the best provision for
the protection Of bona iide holders of
lots sold TO equip and found the
schools.
Both the schools together have an
Indebtedness Of about S23 900 and have
sold lots to equip and found the uni
versities In the wo'places so that the
place gaining the consolidated school
would have to make satisfactory ar
ranRements to pay the debt of ,S23, 900,
besides making good the losses occas-
ioned by the removal to the holders
of lots bought near the university
sites at Tacoma and Portland. This
Salem or Willamette would not do,
The real solution of the problem is
the consolidation OF Tacoma and
Portland universities at the former
place; thus leaYing the state of Wash.
ington to Tacoma and Oregon to VIII
lamette.
Willamette does not draw students
from Puget Sound territory and Ia
coma does not draw students from
Willamette's territory,so that If Port
land was out of the center ground |
both colleges could live. This is what |
will probably be done. At any rate |
Willamette Is not considering the
proposition and under the present ar.
rangement can not do so. DR.. Parsons
said that IL he were to predict the |
fDal result either Portland university |
would go TO Tacoma or both will give |
up the fight and Willamette will re-
main full master Of the situation.

FOR SWEET cHAR1rY's SAKE.
How a Blk Gets Money Out Of Our
peoule

How a Blk Gets Money Out Of Our
People.
One OF the rankest frauds in the
way OF fake advertising that has been
perpetrated on our business people for
some time is the card recently gotten
out for the Salem Hospital with ad-
vertising on 1t. A'smooth young man
came 10 town and by giving a bonus
to the hospital management secured
their endorsement OF his scheme.
Then he proceeded to blk the busl.
ness men for "charity's sake" etc.
The result is that OF about $3.50 bled
out Of the people "for the hospital'
that deserving Institution received
only $40. The advertising is practic-
ally worthless, as ia few weeks it
will be out Of sight. The Salem
newspapers all help the hospital the
year round, the same as the Salem
business men do, and IL seems little
severe To have blk like this
invade their legitimate field and
take the peoples's money out of
town. Anyone wishing to support
the hospital can do so by contributing
direct, and then every dollar donated
goes where it is intended that 1t
should go. a business man, who was
bilked out Of s. on this scheme, ,ag reed
70 pay like amount to the hospital
direct, If THE JOURNAL would show
up this fraud and put people on their
guard against robbery In the name ,of
charity, hence this article. If you
want to buy goo1s Of any kind, buy of
recognized home people. If you want
to help the hospital or any other
worthy institution, doit direct. If
you want advertising, patronize your
city newspapers, and thus do as you
would be done by.
