GERS and crew will be sent to her about
Jan. l and she will proceed at once to
Manila. The Marietta is now at Wash
ington under orders to proceed to the
mouth of the Orinoco. She will prob
ably carry out the orders. returning
when relieved to prepare to JOIN Admiral
Watson. The Bancroft is at Roston and
practically ready for service. The Ma
chias is now at Washington and after
needed repairs she can leave with little
delay. With the exception of the AL
bany and the Marietta all these vessels
can leave for Manila within month.
Th' admiral has impressed upon the
authorities the need of haste and they
are proceeding accordingly. The depart
meHt may later decide to send additional
ves$ets Of the auxiliary gunboat class.
The admiral has pointed out the desr-
ability of large vessels, saying there is
danger of small gunboats being captur-
ed. When the eight vessels named
reach Admiral Watson he will have un-
der his command one battleshp, two
monitors. one armored cruiser, seven
protected and auxiliary cruisers and 81
gunboats. including the vessels bought
from Spain by General Otis. The United

has elected to accept the house in Wash
ington already constructed instead Of
having one built for his occupation The
admiral was officially informed to-day
the purpose Of the people of the United
States was to present him with home
in Washington. He frankly expressed
his qualification at the tender which he
Immediately accepted. He said had the
proposed home been the gift of few
wealthy men he should feel indsposed to
accept it. but he noted that the fund had
over $4,000 subscribers, indicating that
the home was to be really the gift Of
American people and as such he would

Peace People Working.

London, Oct. 6.-All reliable intelli-
gence from South Africa points to a
continuance of the existing situation for
some time as both sides are apparently
dlff1dent about commencing an attack
although from dispatches received here
1t seems as if the movement of a patrol
and every cloud Of dust made by a herd
OF cattle were turned into a general ad-
vance by both armies The delay is for
the good inasmuch as it gives time for
1urther negotiations and to-day's indi-
cations apparently show Willingness
on the part of the British government to
continue to utilize diplomacy.
A well defined conviction is prevalent
that the foreign office is trying to dis
cover way out of the impasse which
has been created by admitted mistakes
and miscalculations and 1t is evident that
peace advocates and peace counsels are
gaining ground
increases in Great Britain dispatches
from the scene of possible hostilities
grow more and more lurid. Advices from
Pretoria describe the Transvaal organs
as crying for impossible terms and Pres
ident Kruger referring to the prospective
struggle as the means Of setting up
republic Totally free of England"
1t is also said, according to advices
from the same point. that the Boer forces
at Volksrust will advance to-day to the
Natal border.

They Were Rescued.

San Francisco, Oct. 6.-Five sailors who
for weeks were thought to have been lost
at sea and who We're given up by their
friends as dead, have arrived on the Brit
ish ship Clifford, which rescued them from
death in the cold and stormy seas off
Cape Horn. The rescued men were the
crew of the British steamer Tekoa, which
while bound from Wellington, n. r., for
London, with a cargo of frozen meat, ran
on an uncharted rock at the south en-
trance of the straits of LIE Marie on the
night of Aug. Z last. The five rescued
men are Second Officer Herbert Barnes
and Seamen William Yeates, Harvey
Mariner, John FINALLY and Joshua Per-
kins. After the vessel struck over %. 00)
carcasses of sheep We're thrown over
board and she was backed off the rock.
Thinking the ship was about to sink, the
second mate with four men got into ono
of the boats. They cut loose and were
soon out of sight of the vessel, which was
saved and taken to Monteydeo for re-
pairs.

Boston, Oct. e.-The Spanish minister
Duke 'Arcos, who has just left his house

dock is also spoken of by the people of

this is built new wagon road will be
constructed which will decrease the
distance form the town to the landing

The stormy weather which has pre-
vailed during the last few day has
cleraly demonstrated that our town
is infested by numerous hobos and
persons who have neither money or a
place of shelter. On Tuesday evening
few moments after the sudden storm
began eight put in their appearance
at the city Jail seeking place to spend
the night while last evening seven
others were on hand to share the
hospitality of the Jail. Many of them
have not sufficient clothing to protect
them from the severe cold and al
though it may be their fault to great
extent that they are in such con-
dition they are nevertheless objects of
pity when we consider the misery
they have to endure.

coLpEsr IN TWO YEARS.
Mercury Two Degrees Below Zero Acc
cordiug to Local Observer Brooks.

cordiug to Local Observer Brooks
Last night was one of the coldest
experienced in The Dalles for two
years. According to Local Observer
S. L. Brooks the thermometer stood
| for time at two degrees below zero,
while others state that it was four be-
| low zero In the lower part of town and
six on the hill. This may be due
| however to inaccurate thermometers
| and as Mr.. Brooks has undoubtedly
the best instrument we quote him as
,, an authority. The Dalles correspen-
dent for the Oregonian was certainly
very extrayagant in his account of the
recent storm, when he stated the ther-
mometer was fifteen below on Thurs
dag night, and asserts an abundance
of ice in the river. The ice must
have passed in the night as we could
not see any on the river except along
the banks and in the small eddies,
and there seems little danger of a
blockade. The Telegram certainly
gave US cold deal when it froze
a foot of ice on the pilings five feet
above the waters edge.
Reports from the differedt points
east of the mountains do not confirm
those published in the Portland papers.
Early this morning at Hood River the
thermometer stood at four below, at
Dufur two, at Wasco and Moro two,
while at Walla Walla it is reported
to have been one degree below zero.
These reports would not indicate that
we are getting fair shake from the
papers west of the mountains.
The indications at present are that
the cold spell will continue for several
days longer.
