.F|I|P|NOS STOP AMERICANS
THE SITUATION Is MOST GRAVE.
Refuse to Allow the Americans to Land
They Are Up in Arms and Want to
Battle Before Reinforcements Arrive
Proclamation Has its Effect.

Madrid, Jan. l3.-General Rios, the
Spanish commander, cables from Manila
reiterating the assertion that the situa.
.tion of affairs in the Philippine islands lie
most grave. The rebels, it appears, are
concentrating in the neighborhood Of Ma
nila with the intention OF attacking that
place. Great preparations are being made
for the defense OF the city.
The Spanish general also asserts that
natives of the Vizcayas have again refused
to permit the Americans to land, threat
ening to resist by force if the attempt is
made to do so. The Americans, therefore,
according to General Rios, have abandon
ed the idea Of disembarking and he con-
firms the previous statement to the ef.
feet that they are unwilling to use force
if the attempt is made.
General Rios also alleges that the reb.
els are determined to fight the Ameri-
cans before remforcemenrs arrive from the
United States.
In conclusion General Rios says Ag,,in-
aho's proclamation has produced inl.
mense enthusiasm among the rebels.
Nothing Heard From Otis.
Washington, Jan. l2.-It was said at
the war department yesterday that abso-
lutely nothing had been heard from Gen.
eral Otis at Manila touching the state of
affairs there.

RATHDRUM IDAHO. SATURDAY. JANUARY IA,


All kinds Of business is picking up at
Osburn. There is not an idle man in the
town.
Rumor has it that large hotel will be
built near the depot at Newport early
next spring, or before that time.
A public road is in course of being laid
out from the Conquest mine to the steam-
boat landing on the Pend d'Oreille, which
will be public improvement very much
needed.
The recent weather was the coldest eX-
perienced here this winter, the tempera-
ture falling to 10 degrees below zero.
The fall Of snow here and below is very
light.
The new electric light and power plant
of the Lewiston Electric Company was
put in operation last week for the first
time, and the merchants Of the town are
rejoicing.
The Moscow post office has changed
management, R. H. Barton, the newly ap-
pointed postmaster, succeeding II. G.
Shaver, who was appointed by President
Cleveland and who has served the past
four years.
Phil McCrory, charged with stealing
horse from NJ. H. Sebern, and who was
brought from Wisconsin by Sheriff Oliver
several weeks since, has had his prelimin.
ary examination before Justice Siggins at
Boise, and held under bond of $500 to
appear before the district court for trial.
A school boy II years of age, Robert
Russell, was out hunting recently when
he was shot through the head with his
own gun and instantly killed. He was
running with his gun to his shoulder al
most in the act OF firing, when he fell
forward, throwing the gun out before him
with the muzzle pointed toward him.
When the breech struck the ground the
gun was discharged.
The post office at Lane, IL miles north
of Harrison, on the Wallace branch of the
o. r. & NJ, was broken into and robbed
of about $25 recently. The robber is sup
posed to have been George Lee, wood
chopper, who was apprehended immedi-
ately and Is now confined at Medimont.
He will be sent to Moscow for trial in
the federal court. He practically admits
his guilt.
JEFF Davis, a well known Indian, was
found dead last week in a field four or
five miles from Lapwai Davis had been
on spree for several days, and disap.
peared. Searching parties were sent out
hunting for him, and finally mis- blanket,
saddle and horse were found. Later the
body was found lying in the field, frozen
stiff and stark. Death had resulted from
alcoholism and exposure combined.
A report was put in circulation recently
that the city council at Kendrick at it's
regular meeting would repeal the gam
bling ordinance. Those opposed to gam
bling went to work at once on big Pc
tition, which was presented to the council
and accomplished the defeat of the pro-
posed repeal. The ladies evinced lively
interest in the matter, and also circulated
a petition, which received large number
of signers. This is the second test Of
public opinion in the matter of repeating
the gambling ordinance.
