The total number of fatalities is given
at 736- -23 officers, 800 privates and IA
civilians attached to the army. A re.
markable feature of the record is found
in the statement that the number of
officers killed in battle is out of all
proportion to the number of privates
killed. On the other hand, fewer Of
ticers died from disease proportion

a BAD PLACE TO GO.

Philippines no Place for q Poor Man to
Seek His Fortune.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-With q
view to obtain reliable information re-
garding the agricultural and other
wealth.producing possibilities of the
Philippines, the Call has interviewed
a large number of the Oregon volun-
teers whose long stay on the islands
ffored then excellent opportunities for
observation. Most of the troops be,
lieve that the land of the Philippiu-
es Is well adapted for American agril-
culture with the exception of wheat,
but they add that nearly all of the
agricultural land and certainly. the
best of it is in the possession of the
church authorities and would have to
be purchased by intending settlers.
The soldiers Of Oregon are almost to
a man emphatic in opposition even to
the suggestion of making natives of
the Philippines citizens OF the United
States, although, the opinion seems to
prevail that American labor laws
could advantageously be put in oper-
alton on the islands. AS for Ameri-
cans working in the Philippines, the
soldiers declare ,that it IL utterly out
Of the question. The heat is too in
tense and the climate generally too
enervating. The Philippines they say
are the last lands on the earth for poor
men TO seek with purpose of improv.
ing their condition.

MExIoo,s BAD FAITH.

AWay From Them.

Gave Land to Yaquis Then Took It
Away From Them.
Ell PASo, Tex, Aug. 2.-Luis F.
Trude, who has spent the past three
months 10 the keart OF the Yaqui
Indian country, has reached here by
the way OF Casas Grande, and reports
that on June "a and %, while on the
Rio Cedros, in Sonora he met three
bands of Yaquis heavily armed, unm-
bering about 400 men, many of whom
spoke English, who said they were
miners bound for Yaqui valley to pro-
tect their peoples and homes.
They said the Americans had never
been and would not now be molested.
They said they would annihilate the
Mexican soldiers who ventured to In
wade their country from the eastward,
as they came through the Sierra Madre
mountains. The fighting men will re-
tire into the mountains OF Southeast
ern Sonora and there await the Mexi-
can soldiers.
They claim the present war has been
brought about by the unfaithfulness OF
the Mexican government which two
years ago gave them certain lands in
the Yaqui valley, and is now granting
the same to individuals and corpora
tions for speculative purposes.

A RAILROAD POSSIBILITY.


A Narrow Gauge Line That May Have a
Future.
Many people do not know that there
is narrow-gauge railroad running in
California and Nevada, which is now
being extended northward, and is
expected eventually to reach Lake.
view, in Southern Oregon, and proceed
thence to the Columbia river.
The Nevada, California & Oregon
railroad is the impressive title of the
road. It starts at Keeler, ON Owens
lake, in the eastern part of California.
1t crosses the state line into Nevada,
and after taking in Carson City and
Reno, runs back into California. The
extension now being built is 40 miles
long, and will terminate in Lassen
county, and go miles from Alturas.
Alturas in turn is but go miles from
Lakeview. After the road reaches
Lakeview it will take one of two routes
to reach the Colum bia river. The first
under consideration will be slightly
west of north, until the valley of the
Deschutes river is reached. whence it
will be easy to get into The Dalles.
The other is much more pretentious,
and If it is followed a large part of
Eastern Oregon will be taken in north
ane south, the road crosses over into
Idaho at Weiser and con Meeting with
the new Pacific & Idaho Northern,
now being built. This road contem-
plates extending north to Spokane,
and thence west to the Sound.
If all these designs are carried out
there will be continuous system from
the little town of Keeler, in California,
to the Sound, and very large terri
tory now wholly without such con-
venience will have railroad connection
with the outside world.

HEUREAUX WAS
AN USURPER
This Brought About His
Assassination.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Senor Adriano
Grullan, Of the firm of Huttlinger &
Vivig, New York, the representative in
| the United States of the Santo Domingo
revolutionists, and formerly the busi-
ness partner of Senior Jiminez, the
leader of the insurrection, has made
public the following statements of the
reasons for the assination of President
Heureaux:
"The assination of President Heu
reaux was not an act OF revenge for the
murder of Caceres' father, but the sig
nal of the commencement of the upris.
ing against the existing government
there. Caceres is cousin of General
Horacio Vasquez, and was with him at
the time of the shooting. General
Vasquez is a member of one of the best
families of Moca. Neither Mr.. Caceres
nor General Vasquez can be considered
common assassins, as their motives
were not personal, but patriotic.
''For four years Heureaux has held
power by system of terrorizing. Citi-
zens were sent to prison without the
slightest process of law, and more than
300 were clandestinely shot without
any trial whatever, or without even
being given a reason for their incar-
ceration. There has been no legal
election of any kind eyer since 1885,
then, in order to secure his retention
in power, Heureaux had to count more |
votes from the interior provinces than
there were actual inhabitants, includ-
ing men, women and children.
"As the result of this. the opposition
party. whose candidate was Moya, ap-
pealed to arms, but after long strug.
gle, was defeated. Since that time very
few reputable citizens have taken part
in the elections, knowing them to be
q farce. The constitution of Santo
Domingo, in common with most South
and Central American countries, pro-
vides that no one man shall hold Office ,
for more than one term In succession, ]
but this the late president overruled. |
There is no such thing as free press
10 that country; no paper dares publish :
anything unleis favorable to the exist
ng regime"

all over the western range states Oan.

all over the western range states can'
not for q moment be denied, the Sc
we're winter and the harsh spring
causing serious loss in all quarters. If
this shortage works 1t legitimate effect
then the market will be thereby
STRENGTHENED, and the higher prices
will in measure compen nsate the
| grower for his loss of lambs. 1t is
| thus stated by we'll known authority
on livestock matters:
From all over the range country
come reports of a'poor lambing season.
In Montana and Wyoming the per
centage of lambs to ewes runs from 50
to Is in most districts, as against 80
and 95 per cent last year. In Texas
the per cent of lambs runs from go
down to as low as 80. In other range
states the lamb crop Is far below the
last years figures. All this means an
aggregate shortage of several millions
of lambs in the great lamb producing
districts of the west. How far this
may affect the price of feeding lambs
cannot now be closely forecasted, but
the effect will be more or less serious |
and far reaching, influencing the |
values of older and weightier muttons |
as we'll. Comparative statements of |
the prices for first consignments of |
range lambs and cattle at Chicago are
as follows:
The first range lambs of the season,
about 250O from Utah and Idaho,
were sold at prices ranging from s6 25
to .65,-mostly at 1925 to $3.50.
They ranged in weight from SO to 6s
pounds, little heavier than the first
arrivals last year, which came to hand
August 2. selling at Sc. On August 8,
1898, 1852 head of 61-pound Idaho lambs
sold at s625 and before the middle of
August several lots brought 1885 and
$3.50.
The first range cattle of the season
'eaching Chicago, consisting of eight
,ars of Montana COWS, OF the T. MUIR
,ny brand, shipped by C. J. Hysham.
)f these, 124 head averaged zoos
pounds and brought 81, with 43 cows.
Sl4 pounds, at $3.50. Last year the
irst cattle from the range arrived at
Chicago August 1, and consisted of
