Arthur Stub.ing to Be Relieved From
Duty at manila.

The many friends of Arthur Stub
ling will be pleased to learn that he
will ere long return to his home in
this city, after having spent several
months at Manila. Mr.. Stubline is in
receipt of a telegram from Secretary
of War Alger That his son will be dis
charged from duty, and permitted to
leave the army.
The reasons for Mr.. Stubling ask
ing the discharge of his son may be
more fully understood from the iol-
lowing letter Arthur wrote under date
of September 25. at Manila.
| "When we voluntarily gave our SER
vice to our country, it meant great
! deal more than some of US realized. II
| meant our lives and liberty was Uncle
Sans, and was subject to such use as
be saw fit through his officers. Many
| hardships were to be taken into con-
sideration. and very essential facts
| in this line would be the sleeping aud
| eating accommodations; then the
facilities for providing the sick and
| wounded with proper care and meoi-
cine.
"Many of the volunteer privates
held higher social and business
positions than the officers in charge
of them. 1t is true there must be d
distinction between a commissioned
officsr and privates in order to
maintain discipline. 1 thought of
all this before 1 enlisted and entered
the service with the thought OF de-
Tending my country's honor. This l
have done to the best of my ability.
Now the war is over and there is no
more need of volunteers, at least there
is no more fighting to be done.
''If we are left for this island to do
garrison and police duty, we shall be
nothing more than regular soldiers,
and to this l seriously object and can
safely say every other volunteer SOL |
dier does also.
when 1 was yet very small boy !
you well know what my ambition was |
(Arthur wanted to enter West Point |
1t has never changed, but If am COM
PEELED to remain here and do regu
lar soldiers work. it will be materi-
al impediment. If ones ambition is
no higher than a regular soleier's
life, such duty would suit him, for it
is the LATEST life imaginable.
Don't let this letter put you under
the impression that I am sorry I en-
listed, for 1t my country should be
again in foreign war, 1 would re-
enlist, but would expect to be dis
charged when the war was over.
my health is being ruined here and
as an act of justice I ask to be dis
charged"
On receipt of the above letter, Mr..
telegraphed to Washington
aud orders have been issued discharg-
ing the young soldier, who is .at pres
ent quartermaster sargent Co. F. Sec.

They Resent Insinuations Cast at Their
Commanding Ofncer.
Recently an article appeared in
New York paper censuring Col. o.
Summers, of the Second Oregon,
which has aroused the Indignation OF
the troops at Manila. One of The
Dalles boys writing to his brother
says:
"The report in the papers about our
officers is entirely false and without
foundation, and the report published
In the Oregonian about the Oregon
and California boys pillaging Is an un-
truth. How or for what reason the
correspondent could have manufactur-
ed his article is beyond my compre-
hension. His reference to our officers
is partly true but in many cases he
has laid the blame in the wrong place.
"His slanderous references to our
colonelis vile fabrication. There is
no officer in the army here who has
won more respect and admiration or
has been entrusted with more respon-
sible positions, than Col. o Summers.
There is, however, one officer.
Lieutenant Platt, regimental commits.
sary, who is deserving of reproach.
To him we owe Our starvation and bad
treatment while on board the Austria
liza coming over from San Francisco.
The feeling among the soldiers of
the regiment against Lieutenant Platt
is very bitter, and unless he goes on a
long visit when he gets back to Amer
lea he will probably serve a few
months in the hospital.
"On account of his negligence or
incompetency the fresh meats, fruit
and vegetables put on board our ship
at San Francisco were allowed to spoil
while we were compelled to live on
bread, coffee and fat bacon. All we
saw of the 30 tons of fresh meat was
two meals. and the rest together with
the potatoes, cabbage and onions that
we're furnished by the government to
feed US while on the ocean journey
was allowed TO spoil and be thrown
overheard.
''Sentries were placed over these
provisions to keep the boys from
stealing them, while we were per-
mitted to starye for more wholesome
food.
"On account of this the $50 privates
in the regiment cannot feel kindly to;
wards Lieutenant Piatt, but for the
other officers we have the kindest re-
CARDS"

MAY RATTLE
THE DRY BONES
General Miles Report
Will Tell Disagree
able Truths.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Major.General Nelson A. Miles has
completed and submitted to the war
department his report covering the en-
tire period of hostilities between the
United States and Spain.
1t could not be learned at the war
department whether this report in its
entirety will be given out for publi-
cation in the near future or at all. 1t
is said that certain portions of the re-
port may be withheld. The sum and
substance of the reasons for withhold.
ing II, it is said, is the fact that the re-
port is said TO deal squareiy with mat
ters that certain officials prefer to
keep in the background.
Friends of General Miles, who claim
to be cognizant of the contents of the
report. say it is exhaustive in dealing
with the minutest details, and many
things which have not been clear to
the general public as to the conduct of
the war are fully and comprehensively
explained.
That the report is thorough and ex-
haustive is shown by the fact that II
covers nearly 200 sheets of closly type
written manifold paper and includes
all dispatches sent by and received by
General Miles. II, in fact. covers all
the part taken by the army in the war
and deals in the most minute details,
with the period beginning with Gen
eral Miles landing in Cuba and until
he left the island of Porto liico to
come home.
rhe report practically states that
the muddled conditions of matters re-
lating to the army status is due to the
fact that much information that was
given out was contradicted by the sec.
retary of war.
Contained in the report are true
copies of every telegram that passed
between General Miles and the war
department None of them are cur
tailed or mutilated, and it is said il the
report is published in full, many OF
these telegra ms aud portions of others
will be made public for the first time.
These kilograms, it Is further said, will
tell truths that it is alleged have so
far been suppressed. The report
makes no reference to the so-called
AlRer- Miles controversy, but some of
the statements credited to General
Miles are reiterated. A frie ndof Gen.
eral Miles said:
1.-The general will not make the re-
port public, but the secretary Of war
will give it out. He will not dare to
keep it back. 1t will be bitter pill
for Alger, but when it Ia known that
the report has been submitted the de-
mand for it will be great"

JEALOUS HUSBAND.
ERRING WIFE
This Caused a Terrible Trag-
edy in Portland.


PORTLAND, Nov. 9.-Cold In death
lie the stiff and silent forms Of MIR.
and Mrs. Andrew c. Groom at the
morgue. The bodies are awaiting
the disposition Of relatives.
An inquest will be held this evening
at 5o'clock, to determine the cause Of
murder in relation to the wife, who
died yesterday evening at Good Sa-
maritan hospital. An inquest was
held yesterday, and the coroner's jury
brought In verdict of suicide in the
case of the man.
Jealously was the cause of the double
tragedy. It seems the woman was
driven to desperation by. the
cruel treatment Of her husband. She
left California to escape from his in
sane jealousy, and he followed hsr
here. When her husband arrived she
was consorting with man named
Wilson, and went herself by the
Of Mary Wilson.
This was the condition OF affairs
when her husband arrived. She was
in deadly fear of him, and he soon per-
suaded her to go back to him. The
two left together for Tacoma. While
there 1t is said he cruelty beat her.
This was during September. She re-
turued to Portland alone, and soon
took mp with her old associates. Her
husband followed her here, and things
soon reached such pass that she de-
clared she would geta divorce unless
he ceased to annoy her.
This proved the unfortunate woman's
death warrant. Circumstances show
that the deed was premeditated. Two
weeks ago the husband called &C the
woman's former lodgings, 204} Wash.
ington street and demanded to know
where his wife was. AT that time he
threatened to kill her unless she re-
turned to him,
The position of the bodies and blood
bespattered floor suggested violent
The woman's clothes, too
were disordered ss though the two
had fought.
It is not known what time the
shooting to ok place, as no shots were
heard, but its certain It happened but
short time before the lsndlady peeped
the keyhole.
The woman had occupied two rooms
which opened into each other. One
was the bedroom and the other was
sort of parlor, which overlooked
Front street. The woman when. found
vas lying near tie front window at
he foot of q sofa. and the mans body
ay stretched In another direction
With his feet towards her. The re-
7olver was in his hand. Death In his
,ase was instantaneous.

WILMINGTON, N. c. Nov. .10.-Events
have moved quickly in Wilmington.
This morning the white people made
good their threats to take vengeance
upon the negro newspaper which pub.
lished an editorial derogatory to white
women. At 1880 o'clock the negroes
not having responded to the demand
for the removal of the press OF the
Record, the negro newspaper, ex-Rep-
resentative Waddell, chairman of the
white committee of %, repaired to the
light infantry armory, where hegwas

Eight O'Clock was the last hour of
grace for the negroes TO reply, and
that hour passed without an answer
being received.
Meantime armed men had begun to
gather in the street in front of the
armory. They carried rifles, shotguns
and ammunition, and the assemblage
included some of the most solid citiz-
ems of the town. AT $50 o'clock the
procession moved in the direction of
the Record printing shop. When the
negro quarter was reached the negroes
could be seen few blocks away rum
ming into their houses.
When the crowd arrived in front of
the Record office, the citizens surged
into the place and commenced the
work of destruction. Furniture was
smashed and thrown into the street,
floors were gutted of movables, and the
building was fired and destroyed.
Three negroes were killed and one
wounded, while one white mai was
fatally wounded and another seriously
ininred

IN CONTROL
OF THE NATION
Both Houses Of Congress Will
be Republican.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Returns es.
tablish to certainty that the United
States senate will have a republican
majority after March next. OF the
present republican total Of 45, the
terms of seven senators expire March
next, leaving SO hold.over republicans.
To this number the elections Of yester-
day add 10 republicans surely elected
and three probably elected, making a
total of 48, or two more than O majority
Of the democrats, populists and silver
republicans.
There are 81 democratic hold-over
senators. and to this number yesterday
the election added four with certainty
and one probably, giving total of 25
votes. The populist and silver re-
publican hold-overs number eight,
and this was increased yesterday by
one practically sure.
Today's returns show that these
democratic senators will be succeeded
by republicans: White. California;
Mitchell, Wisconsin; Allen, Nebraska,
Turpie. Indiana; Smith, New Jersey;
Faulkner, West Virginia; Murphy,
New York, and Gray. Delaware.
Although the republican majority
in the house is materially reduced it is
almost certainty that that party will
have control of that body. The
majority will be from 10 to l5.

mAsAs AND PISTOLS.
Two Desperados Hold up q Saloon in the
East End.


About 2:30 o'clock this morning
while some seven or eight men were
sitting in the back room of Ben Will
sons saloon, the night barkeeper,
Henry St. Arnold, heard some one en-
ter the front door, The room in
which the bar is located is cut off from
the back room by partition reaching
nearly to the ceiling and is reached
by two swinging doors, while the bar
is reached bv an opening the lat west
side of the building. Mr.. St. Arnold
stepped into this opening when he
vas confronted by two men with masks
over their faces and revolvers in their
hands, and one of them ordered him
to throw up his hands. He jumped
behind the partition that separates
the two rooms. but no sooner had he
done so than one of the men came
through the swinging doors and COW
cred the men sitting there with his
revolver, ordering them all to stand
up with their faces to the wall.
While he had them thus corralled
the other robber pried the cash till
open with an ice pick and took its con-
tents and also pulled out all the
drawers back of the counter, emptying
their contents on the floor in search of
valuables. He secured about S135
from the cash till, s1U0 being Mr.. Will
sons money and S35 that had been de-
posted in the saloon.
After looting the place the robbers
passed out the back door toward the
depot, leaving the inmates so bewild-
cred that they scarcely knew what had
happened.
Nightwatchman Phirman arrived at
the saloon soon after the robbery, and
had noticed two men running toward
the depot. but paid no attention to
them, as it is no uncommon occurrence
to see men running in that direction
just before train time. Mr.. Wilson
and Sheriff Kelley were aroused by
GGlSpHOuO anu CduC w uilO oSOdC VI
robbery as soon as possible, but the
robbers had escaped before they ar
rived. A search was made at once,
ard two suspicious characters were
intercepted at thu depot, but they bad
nothing on them that would indicate
that they we're the robbers.
1t is presumed that the robbers
boarded the west bound passenger
train which arrived here shortly after
the robbery, and have made their es-
cape, though the authorities telephoned
down the line to have the train search
ed and as nothing has been heard from
it is possible fthey boarded the train
they have concealed their identity so
we'll as to avoid detection. At all
events the robbers have succeeded in
evading arrest, and it will be clever
piece, of work if they are captured, for
they did the deed so quickly that it
will be a difficult matter to identify
them should they be caught, for none
who were in the saloon can give a
definite description of them.
