CAPTURE OF THE GUIDO
FIVE SHOTS FIRED ATHER BEFORE
SHE SURRENDERED.
Four Were Made by Monitor Terror and
One by Machias-Two of the Terror's
Shots Went Through Spaniard's Pilot
Upper Works-one Sailor May Die of
Wounds.

Key West, Fla, April 2S.-Aside from
the news of the Matanzas lombard
ment, which set the town wild with joy,
the event of to-day, practically mark
ing the end of the first week of the
war, was the arrival of a big prize, the
steamer Guido. She was captured by
the Terror and the gunboat Machias
ten miles off Cardenas at 4 o'clock yes
terday morning, but not until after a
stern chase. Five shots were fired
four by the monitor and one by the
gunboat, though the shot from the Ma
Terror's shots went through the pilot
house and one struck a long boat and
the upper works.
Manuel Rivar, a sailor, was in the
pilot house and the flying splinters
penetrated his breast, inflicting wounds
which may cause his death. He was
brought ashore and taken to the hospi-
tai this afternoon. Captain Kichiando
received a flesh wound in the wrist
from splinter when the shot went
through the pilot house. The Guido
was bound from Corunna to Havana
with a cargo Of provisions and money,
thought to be for the Spanish troops.
The Terror first sighted her and began
the pursuit by sending blank shot
across her bows. The Spaniards
promptly put out all her lights and
started in a desperate attempt to run
away.
The monitor then brought her g.
Founders into play and sent three more
shots directly at her, all finding the
mark. She also trained her big 12-
inch guns on the Guido, prepared to
sink her If the Spaniard did not heave-
to. Meanwhile the Machias had come
up and sent a shot from a 4-inch rifle
at the fugitive. Captain Kichiando,
seeing that he had two s'ach powerful
enemies to combat, surrer 1ered. Lieu
tenant z. F. Qualtrough, Ensign j. F.
Hubbard and two marines were put
aboard as prize crew and brought the
steamer into Key West. AS soon as
Captain Kichiando and her crew learn
ed Of the conditions existing in Cuba,
they asked not to be landed there.
The Guido is steel screw steamer
of s,133 tons gross and 2s72 net. She
was built by Harland & Wolff of Bel
fast, and is registered by Lloyds as "A
No. l." She is owned by La Flocha, is
$50 feet long, Al feet wide and has a
depth of rs feet. Her port of registry
is Bilboa She carried crew of fifty
| six.
| All of the prizes still lie in the harbor
and, according to instructions received
| by United States District Attorney
| STRIPPING to-day will remain there in
| definitely. These instructions were to
the effect that the crew and passengers
| of the Panama, which carried four IA
pound guns, and was captured by the
| Mangrove, should be held as prosiners
| of war. The crews of the other prizes
are also to be detained aboard until
| further orders and will be allowed no
communication with the shore. 1t is
conceded that whatever the result of
| the presidents proclamation may be it
will not affect the Panama, which was
an auxiliary cruiser.

The Mystery Surrounding
Their Movements Is
Still Unexplained.
THE CAPE VERDE FLEET
1T rs NOT DELAYED By LACK or
COAL,

London Ridicule Such an idea and Say
the Ships Have Been Well Fitted Ont
With Everything Necessary for Soma
Time-Nothing Heard From American
Asiatic Fleet.
London, April 29.-The mystery sur
rounding the movements Of the Span
1sh men-of-war is still unexplained.
The secretaries at the Spanish embassy
interviewed on the subject ridicule the
statement that the squadron at Cape
Verde is delayed by lack Of coal-first,
because for a long time the Spanish
vessels have been well fitted out not
only with coal, but also with food and
all kinds Of war material, and, second,
because st. Vincent could supply any
required quantity of coal. It is be-
lieved that the squadron at the Cape
Verde Islands has really been waiting
for the arrival Of the Spanish men-of-
war, but now that Portugal has declar-
ed neutrality the fleet will be compelled
to sail without delay, whether rein-
forced or not.
The bombardment Of the Matanzaa
Notifications is regarded here as pre-
liminary to the landing of American
troops and making Matanzas the base
of American operations in Cuba. It is
also supposed that Rear admiral Samp-
son desired to judge Of the quality OF
the Spanish gunners and to give his
men something to do to relieve the
WEAKNESS.
London, April 29.--The Hong Kong
correspondent Of the Daily Mail, tele-
graphing Thursday, says: There is no

abouts Of the American fleet. The

1.-The Philippines, and the Esmeralda also
sailed for the Philippines, but without
cargo or passengers and presumably TO-
bring away more passengers. Large
| sums are being paid by anxious people
| to leave Manila. The strictly neutral
attitude hitherto observed by the press
and public toward the Hispano- Ameri-
| can dispute has been changed by the
| absurd proclamation Of the governor
of the Philippines, and public opinion
| is now favorable to the United States.
Z! The China Mail says that the procla-
nation will go far to ALLEVIATE the last
vestiges of sympathy for Spaniards,
and the Daily Press says that English
sympathy is naturally on the side OF

visibility of taking mutton sheep

says the project is good one, and
money can be made taking mutton
into the Klondike country. 1t retails
for so cents pound, and next winter
will probably be worth Is cents. This
would make an ordinary wether bring
from $35 to $45. Mr.. Wiley contem-
plates shipping a drove sometime dur

WAsCO COUNTY FRUIT.
The Prospects for a Large Crop Never Bet
Than Now

The Prospects for a Large Crop Never Bet
ter Than Now.
Reports from all the fruit raising
sections of Wasco county have been
received and are very fattering, as
prospects are exceptionally good for a
heavy yield of almost all kinds of fruit.
The late frost did little if any damage,
and only on the creek bottoms were
the buds affected, while on the high
ground the frost did no damage what
ever. Cherries, peaches, apricots and
prune trees were very full with bloom,
which indicates an abundant yield,
and as Wasco county has never had a
failure of fruit crop, nor even a short
crop when there was an abundance OF
blooms, it is quite evident that this
seasons yield will be a phenominal
one.
Trees generally throughout the
country are in healthier condition than
usual. Mr.. Schanno, member of the
state horticultural board, has this sea-
son visited 9S orchards, and says as a
rule they are in excellent condition.
However there were only a few
that were not infested with San
Jose scale, though all have been
thoroughly sprayed except one
orchard, so that the pest has been
kept down well, aud the fruit this sea-
son will be healthier than common.
Mr.. Schanno says fruit growers are
taking unusual interest in caring for
their orchards, and with continua-
tion of the war that is now being
waged against fruit pests, be hopes
within few years to see the orch ards
of Wasco county comparatively free.

turned to the room at the hotel. She
was discovered in time to prevent
death, but the poor girl seems deter
mined to marry young Coloway or kill
herself.
Both parties to this sad case are, or
have been, promising young people,
coming from respectable families in
Idaho. But the young man lost his
head on a cheap race horse, and also
lost his sense of honor in dealing with
women, while the girl lost her head
following afIer frivolous man. Both
are deserving of sympathy, the girl
however, more than the man, for she
was following after poorer trash than
he.

The Homes of Truman Butler and VIM
Mitchell Burslarized.
During last night some one entered
the residences of Truman Butler and
VIM. Michel. They gained admit
tance to Mr.. Buffers house by coming
through the kitchen door, which was
fastened and also the dining room
door which was locked. They went
up stairs to the sleeping apartment
and secured few dollars in money
from Mr.. Buffers trousers, and then
went to the secretary and took Mrs.
Buffers purse. They secured in all
about SS. Mr.. and Mrs. Butler are
under the impression they were drug
ged in some manner as they aid not
awake at the usual hour this morning
and there was peculiar odor In the
room when they were aroused.
At MIR. Michell's home it is presum-
ed they secured admittance 1T the side
door, for it was locked last night when
the family retired, and this morning it
was found open. They did not secure
anything from Mr.. Michel except a
suit of clothes and bunch OF keys, as
he had taken precaution, since the
last robbery at his house few weeks
ago, and left his money in his safe.
Nothing outside of what was mentioned
above was disturbed. Itwould be we'll
for our citizens to see that their houses
are securely barred against intrusion
as there are good many tramps and
"loose" men in the community.

APRIL EVENTS.


1t Has Been an Important Month In Amer
lean History.
April is an eventful month in Amer
ican history. Thirty seven years ago
this month, and two days after the fir
ing of the shot that initiated the
bloody battles of our civil war, Fort
Sumpter surrendered. Thirty-three
years ago Abraham Lincoln, who ex-
hausted every available means to
avert that conflict. and whose states
manship saved the republic, was as
sassinated. The fatal shot was fired on
the night of April u, and death en-
sued on the following day.
April witnessed both the beginning
and the end of the war of the rebel
lion; Sumpter was fre1 upon On April
II, 1861, and Lee surrendered to Grant
April 9, 1865, The same is true of the
revolutionary war; the battle OF Lex
ington was fought on April 10, 1775,
and the preliminary treaty OF peace
with Great Brttian was ratified by
congress on April 25, 1916.
Three momentous events in our
earlier history have their dates in the
month of April: the first cong ress met
on April 6, 1889, George Washington
was inaugurated president on April 30,
of the same year and the navy deparU-
ment was organized on April 80, 1889.
1t was on the last day of April, 1903,
that the treaty was made with France
for the purchase of Louisiana.

rate we are making history at present,
April. 1898, will make many important
additions. On April 81. diplomatic
relations between America and Spain
