TO THE RIGHT PORTLAND.

Wichita Eagle: The other day Colonel
Bieck,ey, the Missouri Pacific agent here,
received a letter from a gentleman at
Portland, Ore, thanking him for a favor
performed by Colonel Bleckley over 10
years ago. The mans name is withheld.
He had pla yed the Wichita boom. He had
won. But it fascinated him, and he knew
he must get away with his money Or he
would not get away at all. So. under in
spiration, he rushed into Bleckley's Office
one morning and said sharply:
Give me ticket to Portland"
Colonel Bleckley looked at him cool1y
and asked: .,.....- .-..,,.,4;f ~ .y5,-.,
maine or Oregon?" ...a.
"I don't give darn which"
Colonel Bleckley reelected. His COM
mission on ticket to Portland, Ore, was
$3.50 more than his commission on tick
ct to Portland, Me. He said to the man:
Il get more for a ticket to Portland,
Ore. ard I'll send you to Oregon"
$50 ahead" said the man.
So that man got away from the boom
and went to Portland, Ore. Out there he
went into business, and now owns one of
the big establishments Of that city. He
ascribes his lucky strike to Colonel Bleck-
ley, and his recent letter was one OF graf
i:ude that ne had not sent him to Port

CAPTAIN Under Arrest.

Manila. Aug. g. via Hong Hong, Aug. s.
The gunboat Napidan last weke shelled
Paete, on the lake near Santa Cruz. The
town was full of people who had been en-
couraged to return after General Law
toms expedition, having been assured
that they would not be molested if they
peaceably attended to their business
Lieutenant Copp, who was in command
of the Napidan, heard that the insurgents
had reoccupied the town, and, steaming
close in, opened fire with his Founders
without warning. The people, seeing the
boat approaching, fled to the hills in a
terrified condition and with barely time
to escape. One child was killed and many
buildings were damaged. The authori-
ties express great regret on account Of
the incident.
After the taking of Calamba by the
Americans, General Lawton ordered that
Captain Otis Of the Washington regiment
be relieved of his command and placed
under arrest on account of slowness and
seeming reluctance of the companies un-
der his command in obeying the order ia
disembark from the cascoes and wade
through the marshes under fire. The men
say that majority Of them have been
sick and unfit for duty and were given to
understand that they would not be asked
to do any more fighting.

New York, Aug. s.-A special to the

F. w. Neely director of finance of the
postoffices in Cuba, had long confer
ence with Acting Postmaster General
Heath today. He said to a reporter that
the Cubans We're much pleased with the
new postoffice system, which was improv-

for military men to govern the Cuban
people. AS to annexation, he added, the
Spaniards are in favor of it, although
the richer Cubans did not seem to be.
The British, he said. We're stealing a
march on Americans in the islands, and
unless the capitalists of this country
moved quickly they would find that some
splendid money making opportunities
were gone forever. The English had
bought up the railroads and We're going
to extend existing lines through the pro-

ARE RECOGNIZED
China Has Taken Up the
Filipino Cause.
WE CAN'T SHIP HORSES
From That Country to Manila, as They
are Considered COntrabard of War
What the Effect of This Will be
is Uncertain.

New York, Aug. S.-A special to the
f1eralo from Washington says: Some un-
easiness prevails in military curces re,a-
tive to the attitude of China with respect
TO the fllipinOs as the result of her re-
Iusal TO permit the shipment of horses
purchased by agents of General Otis TO
Manila on the ground that they are "con-
tfaoand OF war" While the Pekn gov
ernment has not formally recognized the
belhserency of Aguinaldo, her announce
ment that horses are Cortraband of war
Is regarded as dangerously near her re-
coSnltlon. Ofl1ci2ls interpret her acton
TO mean that China holds that this gov
ernment, instead of being engaged in the
suppression of an insurrection, is involved
IN war; that goods purchased by it in
ner empire for the use of the American n
army a1e consequently contrabana This
government has taken no diplomatic no.
tlce or Chnas declaration that horses are
cohtfaDanu. Reports received here show
the desperate efforts made by the Fill
pinos to secure recognition Of Aguinaldo's
government They have gone so far as
to refuse to permit the release of Spanish
prisoners unless Spain first recognizes
Their belligerency. Because of the great
change which would occur in the status Of
the Fillplnos by recognition Of their bel
ilgerency by any nation, this government
is doing everything possible to prevent it..
1t is believed these efforts will be success
fui at least until the result of the next
campaign is apparent. Should the dry
season end with the insurgents still in the
field. the difficulty of preventing foreign
recognition will be materially increased.
