JoKERs ON LEMBEck AVENUE
They Change Again the Name OF the
Red asfgnated Street.

Some time ago the name OF Wlnheio
avenue was changed to Lembeck avenue.
Last week new signs reading Lembeck
avenue were put up. The residents OF
the street were much surprised yesterday
morning to see pieces of board inscribed
Brewery IA nailed over the new
signs.
The police believe that it is the work OF
{. practical joker, as the changing OF the
street name is supposed to be popular
with the residents of the Greenville Sec
ton. Lembeck avenue runs west from
Princeton avenue, formerly Avenue E, to
the Old Bergen road. Mr.. Henry Lem
beck owns considerable property on the
street.

New York. Jan. 25-A dispatch from
Havana says: Captain Eaton, of the
auxiliary cruiser Resolute, captured a
2O-foot Spanish flag in the harbor and
incidentally taught the Spaniards a les
son in manners
A Spanish schooner of about 10 tons
sailed alongside the Resolute. where it
hove to. and with cheer of defiance
from the men aboard, an immense
Spanish flag was run up to the mast-
head, with the Cuban flag beneath it.
Captain Eaton was forced to recognize

launch. which speedily overlook the
Spaniard. The captain refused to obey

the marines went aboard and took fore
ible possession of the Spanish flag,
leaving the Cuban flag flying at the
masthead.
The occupants of the schooner were
then completed to give three cheers for
the Cuban and American flags, after
which the vessel was allowed to pro.
coed. The captured flag will be held

|SANGUINARY BATTLE
Ecuador Insurgents and Gov.

FOUR HUNDRED MEN KILLED
Troops observation-disclosures
Holly Pursued.

New York, Jan. 27.-The latest dis
patch from the Herald's correspondent
at Guayaquil reports that sanguinary
battle took place yesterday between
the rev0lutionists and the government
forces at San Ancanna. The fighting
was desperate all day. the advantage
remaining finally with the govern
ment's army.
The losses on both sides were heavy.
More than 400 men were killed, and
300 were wounded. Four hundred in
surgents were taken prisoners.
The rest OF the defeated rebels fed to-
ward the province Of Bolivar, holly
pursued by the victorious troops OF
President AlfarO.
News Of decisive engagement be-
tween the forces of the re solutionists
and the government troops has been
expected for some days. Recent dis.
patches from Panama stated that the
rebels, representing the clerical party
determined to overthrow the Alfaro
administration. had invaded Ecuador
from Colombia, and that an engagement
was looked for at Tuloan, on the from.

A CRISIS APPROACHING.
Grave Appreciation Among Admins
tratiOn Officials.

Grave Apprehension Among Admins
tratiOn Officials.
Chicago, Jan. 27.-A special from
Washington says: 1t can no longer be
denied that considerable alarm is felt
in administration circles over the situa.
ton at Manila and lilo lilo, and tho
latest advices are not of reassuyiDg
character. General Otis is OF the be-
lief that the insurgents are about to
force the issue, and If this should Oc-
cur the result cannot be predicted fur
Their than that the Americans will be
victorious in the end.
There are two serious contingencies
confronting the troops near lilo lilo, one
being conflict with the natives and
the other a fear that smallpox may
break out among the troops.
Besides this, the situation at Manila
10 considered much more grave than
that at lilo lilo. and it is feared the in.
surgents may commit an overt act
which will bring on conflict.
While the warlike attitude of Agui-
naldo excites alarm at the war depart
ment, that is not considered the most
serious feature of the situation. Those
in position to know the facts say the
diplomatic situation is even more grave.
Either Germany or Spain or both may
recognize AguinaldO's little republic
for interested motives. Germany to So
cure a fOothold and Spain to accom-
plish the release of it's prisoners Of war.
This action is imminent, and govern
ment officials say they wounld not be
surprised if it took place within "a
hours.

the case of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way Company VS.. the Treasurer OF
Jefferson County, Mont. The case in
wolves the right of state authorities to
tax railroad lands within the Northern
Pacific grant which are unpatented be-
cause their character with reference to
mineral has not yet been determined.
The railroad company contended that
such right had not existed but the de-
cision of the circuit court was against
the company, and the supreme court
upheld this opinion. Brewer. Shiras,
White and Peckham dissented.

JosEPHl's BILL PASSED.
70 to Reform Management Of the State
Insane Asylum.

AnsSn0 ADy Aum
Salem. Or, Jan. 25.-Josephi's bill
to reform the system OF management of
the state insane asylum. putting the
institution in the hands of four trustees
appointed by an6 to act with the gov
ernor, was passed by the senate this
afternoon by vote Of 81 to 6, after q
debate OF an hour and a half By a
still larger vote, Drivers bill authoriz.
ing county courts to employ county
prisoners on public roads was passed.
The defeat of Mulkey's resolution
to limit the introduction of bills to
the 25th day of the session and an i'm
timation that the matter of the Loewen-
berg contract at the state penitentiary
would be reopened were interesting
incidents Of the senate proceedings.
In the house. six bills were passed,
including one carrying an appropria-
ton OF 5000 for building and operat-
ing salmon hatcheries, and a bill to
appropriate $4,000 for buying and
operating the fax mill at the peniten-
tiary was introduced.
Other bills passed were Stillman's
bills legalizing marriages contracted
within the six months limit, and
amending the code relative to actions
for recovery of personal property 80
that the defendant. where property is
claimed by third party. may surren-
der the same into the custody of the
court; the Ross bill to abolish private
seals, and Morton's bill to cure defects
in deeds heretofore made.
Many bills were put through formal
readings in both houses. This has been
by far the busiest day of the session,
and great amount of work has been
accomplished.
Considerably out of the usual order
was the proposition of John H. Albert
to exchange an eligible full block of
land adjoining the present blind school
for the states former site of the blind
school, now occupied by the Salem hos
pital, so he might present the property
to the hospital. and the state would at
the same time get more room for the
accommodation of the blind. The peti.
tion went to the printer unde, the
rules. The property is estimated to be
worth $1,75O.
