Evidence Is rwhelming.

Washington, April 22.-The officers
of the internal revenue Office are un-
able to even Approximate the amount
of the counterfeit revenue stamps
made use of by the cigar manufacturers
of Lancaster, Pa, who were arrested
yesterday.
A special revenue agent from Phila-
delphia is now in charge of the factor

the supply of blue paper from which
the stamps were printed.
The evidence against all the men
under arrest, it is said, is overwhelm-

ment in such cases is Is years under
each indictment, and in most of the
cases, the secret service agent thinks,
at least four indictments will be sus-
tanned by the court.

Too Much Adulteration.

The state board of horticulture de.
sires to call the attention of the fruit
growers of Oregon to the fact that a
large per cetnt of Paris green and other
arsenical preparations used in spraying
are so extensively adulterated as to
make them almost worthless. The
proportions recommended by the board
for the use of Paris green are based
upon at least purity of 75 per cent,
hence any that falls below this should
be increased in quantity. We desire
also to call attention to the new law.
which provides that all dealers selling
spraying materials must provide cer-
tifcate with all quantities sold over
one pound, specifying the pei cent of
purity of material sold. 1t is against
the law to sell these spraying mater
ials, without this certificate and it is a
violation of the law to sell material
that does not conform to the certificate.
If the fruit grower will insist on the
execution of this law, and notify the
board of any violations, they will save
great loss to themselves. State Board

BURNED AT A STAKE.

Georgia Negro Cut with Knives and
Then Set on Fire.
Newman. Ga. April 25.-In the pres
ence OF nearly 1000 people, who sent
aloft yells OF defiance and shouts of joy,
Sam Hose, negro who committed two
OF tie basest acts known in the history
of crime, was burned at the stake in
public road one and halt miles from
here, this afternoon.
Before the torch was applied to the
pyre, the negro was deprived of his
ears, fingers and other portions OF his
anatomy. The negro plead pitifully
for his life while the mutillation was
going on, but stood the ordeal of fire
with surprising fortitude. Before the
body was cool it was cut to pieces, the
bones were crushed into small bits,
and even the tree upon which the
wretch met his fate was torn up and
disposed Of as souvenirs. The negro
was cut in several pieces, as was also
his liver. Those unable to obtain the
CHASTITY relics direct paid the more for
tunate possessors extravagant sums or
them. Small pieces of bone went at
30 cents, and bit of the liver, crisply
cooked, sold or 10 cents.

white farmer, near Palmetto, and out
ragged his wife, 10 days ago IN

BUSINESS REVIVAL.
General Passenger Agent Heford, on

A Chicago dispatch says: George
Fl. HeffoId, general passenger agent of
the Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad,
has just returned from an extensive
tour of the Pacific coast. He reports
that North Pacific coast points are Just
now experiencing wonderful revival.
All industries are prospecting to an un-
precedented extent. The mining in
dustry is having boom. Mineral de-
posits in Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, which were scratched over as
long ago as 1860, are now being sys-
tematically worked. and the richness
of their development is proving a genu-
inc surprise. British Colum mbia's min
eral resources are also proving to be
practically inexhaustible. While min
ing industries are prospering agricul-
tural interests are also hourishing, and
all classes are rejoicing in phenome en-
ally good times. The low second-class
colonist rates put in effect by tn
Great Northern railroad, has resulted
in over 5000 people going to that ter
ritory so far this year, and the depart
ures from North Pacific towns for
Alaska number 500 per week. North.
ern California has had more abundant
rains this, spring than Tor number O.
years past. and these insure abundant
crops, so that the entire Pacific coast is
enjoying period of more than usual

GOldendale Railroad.

The Goldendale railroad committee
held conference Saturday in Golden
dale. Before that body of Klickitat's
best citizens appeared President Lytle,
of the Columbia Southern, and his
chief engineer, A. f. Hammond. The
former submitted to the committee a
well.defned proposition to build rail-
road to Goldendale. The conditions
are not made public. Hon. Joseph
Nesbitt, acting chairman of the COM
mittee. says the conditions are better
than expected, and he has no doubt
that Goldendale will have railroad in
the near future. The railway survey
now in progress has not been complet-
ed, and the committee is poweress to
act in the matter of acquiring the right
of way, which is one of the conditions
of the proposition.

RETURN OF THE VOLUNTEERS
The First Will Leave Manila
About May 5.
TO BE REPLACED BY REGULARS
Administration Decides Not to Call Out
the Provisional Army-35, 900 Troops
Needed to Garrison the Islands.

Washington, April 21.-The Second
Oregon volunteers will be the second
regiment to leave the Philippines when
the mastering out begins. The first
regiment t. leave will be the First
California; then the Oregon regiment,
and then others in this order, according
to the present plans Of the war depart
ment: Utah artillery, Tenth Penn
sylvania, First Colorado, First Ne
braska, Fist North Dakota, Thirteenth
Minnesota. First Idaho, First Wyo-
ming, First Montana, First South Da-
kota, First Washington, and Twentieth
Kansas. The volunteers will come
home in the order in which they went
to Manila.
Fourteen thousand regulars will be
sent to reinforce General Otis as soon
as the necessary marine Transportation
can be provided. The first regiment
will be the Seventh artillery. 1t will
be sent at once to San Francisco, to
await an available tIans-Pacific steam
er. Thirteen heavy batteries of the
regiment will be equipped as infantry,
according to the present plans, although
one may be used as light artillery. 1t
is not expected the bulk Of reinforce
ments will reach Manila until the end
of the rainy season, just begun, but
will closely follow the departure from
the Philippines of the volunteers.
The latter number barely $4,000
greatly debilitated soldiers, and the de-
termination to send ID, 900 able-bodied
regulars to take their places is calculat-
ed to show the rebels that the United
States is terribly in earnest.
The army in the Philippines may be
increased to $4,000 men, whether the
rebels abandon The field or not. If
Aguinaldo gives up his hopeless fight
as result of the negotiations now in
progress, $4,000 men is deemed enough
to garrison the forts in the outlying
islands and establish lawful govern
ment. II the insnrrection continues in
LuzOn, $4,000 American troops will be
required there for the campaign, and
the remaining 5000 will garrison the
chief places that have been opened for
foreign trade.

Manila, April 22.-lt may be that
Lieutenant Gilmore and the IA men

Rios today said the Baler garrison did
not know the war was over between
Spain and the United States, although
an officer was sent in January to notify
them. They disbelieved the officer
and feared an attack Of insurgents.
Rios does not believe the Spaniards

AMERICAN TROOPS ADVANCE
Occupied Quingua After a
Sharp Engagement.
REBELS DRIVEN FROM TRENCH
Col. j. Nj. StotsenburS, of the Nebrasks
Regiment, Killed While Leading n
Charge-Lieut. Sisson Also Killed.

Manila, April 25.-Four men of the
Nebraska regiment, including Colonel
Stotsenburg, Lieutenant Sisson, and
three men of the Fourth cavalry, were
killed, and "A wounded in an engage
ment at Quingua. The Filipinos Ie-
treated with small loss.
The engagement developed iEto dis
astrous, though successful, fight. The
insurgents had horseshoe trench,
about mile long, encircling rice field
on the edge of wood.
Major Bell. with 40 cavalrymen, en-
countered strong outpost. One OF his
men was killed and five were wounded
by volley. The Americans retired,
carrying their wounded under fire and
with great difficulty. being closely pur-
sued, log enabling the enemy to creep
up to them. Two men who were carry
ing comrade were shot in the arms,
but they continued with their burden.
Major Bell sent for renforcements
to rescue the body of the killed cavalry
man, and battalion of the Nebraska
regiment, under Major Mufford, ar
rived and advanced until checked by
volleys from the enemy's trenches.
The Americans lay about 500 yards
from the trenches behind rice furrows
under fire, for two hours. Several
men were sunstruck, one dying from
the effects of the heat as they lay there
waiting for the artillery to come up.
Finally the second battalion arrived.
and then Colonel Stotsenburg, who had
spent the night with his father at Ma
Mia, came upon the field. The men
Immediately recognized him and
raised cheer. Colonel Stotsenburg,
deciding to charge as the cheapest way
out of the difficulty, led the attack at
the head of his regiment. He fell
with bullet in the breast, dying in
stantly, about 200 yards from the
breastwork.
Lieutenant Sisson fell with bullet
in his heart, the bullet striking him
near the picture of girl, suspended
by ribbon from h is neck.
In the meantime the artillery had
arrived and shelled the trenches. The
Filipinos stood until the Nebraska
troops were right on the trenches, and
then they bolted to the second lines of
the trenches, mile back.
The Nebraska regiment lost two pri-
Yates and had many wounded, includ-
ing two lieutenants. The Iowa regi-
ment had several wounded. The Utah
regiment had one officer and three men
wounded. Thirteen dead Filipinos
were found in the trenches. Their loss
was comparatively small on account of
their safe shelter.
The Americans carried the second
trench with small loss, and are holding
the Town tonight.
Colonel Stotsenburg had won repu-
tation as one Of the bravest fighters in
the army. He always led his regiment
and had achieved remarkable popular
ity with his men since the war began,
although, during his first colonelcy,
the volunteers who were not used to
the rigid discipline of the regular
troops thought him hard officer. The
loss OF the Nebraska regiment in the
cam paign is The greatest sustained by
amy regiment, and today's disaster has
| greatly saddened officers and men, who
promise to take fierce vengeance in the
next fight.
