LAWTON CAPTURES
SANTA CRUZ
Insurgents Compelled to
Evacuate the City.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The follow
ing dispatch was received from Gener.
al Otis today:
Manila, April 9 -Adjutant.Gene
Washington: Lawton's command
captured Santa Cruz, the chief city OF
Laguna de Bay, this morning. Our
casualties were six wounded. The in
surgeat troops were driven back, leav-
ing 6S dead on the field and large
number of wounded. a considerable
number were captured. Lawton will
push westward. Otis.
An expedition, consisting of about
1900 men, commanded by Major-Gen-
eral Henry Lawton, left San Pedro
Macati, on the river Pasig. Saturday
night. with the purpose of crossing
Laguna de Bay. and capturing the
town of Santa Cruz. on the eastern
shore of the lake. The American
troops were then, as planned, to sweep
the country to the south.
General Lawton's plan was to reach
Santa Cruz on Monday morning at
daylight, to capture or destroy the
rebel gunboats or shipping, to take
the town and then to scour the country
to the south OF the lake, district not
yet explored by Americans. The De
troit is to stop at Greytown, after leay-
ing Port Llmon.

AN INNOCENT MAN.
No Evidence OF the Guilt of Captain
Dreyfus.

No Evidence OF the Guilt of Captain
Dreyfus.
LONDON, April 9.-The Figaro's re-
velations in the publication OF the
evidence in the court of cessation in
the Dreyfus case is the sensation of
Paris. and has revived the keenest
interest in the Dreyfus affairs. The
Dreyfusites are highly pleased with
the publication of the dispositions,
which, in fact, are apparently approv-
ed by the whole mass of sober opinion
in France. The Figaro's bold step is
particularly interesting, as last year
its editor unexpectedly championed
Dreyfus with the result that the paper
lost great number of subscribers and
the proprietors removed the editor
from his position. The Firaro has
now taken step which has drawn up
on it the formidable hostility of the
general staff of the war office, who
desired secrecy and whose reputation
is grievously damaged by the publi-
cation of the depositions, in which
there are evidences that the war de-
partment engineered different trials,
Influenced witnesses, and had the
intention of preventing the exculpa-
tion OF Dreyfus, though the motive of
the war department in so doing still
remains obscure.
The deposiLinns show that both M.
Cayaignac, The minister of war aud
General Roget, who reinstated the
hole of he general staff, have failed
to produce any direct vidence against
Dreyfus. The testimony of Examin-
ing Mag istrate Bertulus was very
damaging. He declared plainly his
opinion that Lieutenant Patty du Clam
and Major Count Esterhazy were the
guilty men.

Press correspondent had an interview
with Admiral Kautz yesterday, He
spoke freely on the situation and con.
siders that he has been grossly lnsulted
by the German consul.general issuing
his counter proclamation.
The admiral takes the stand that the
Berlin treaty, which he is instructed
by his government to uphold, does not
make any provision whatever for
provisional government. His instruc
tious are to carry out the terns of the
treaty in accordance with the views
of majority of the consular represen-
tatives. The admiral is very wroth
with the German consul-general, and
blames him entirely for the present
e<<titnde of the rebels, as the natives
we're obeying his command to retire
to their homes when the German pro.
lamatiOn was issued.

gon, and A. w. Reed, senator from

North Umpqua river, opposite River
dale farm, six miles below Roseburg

Messrs. Reed and Mcclure, accom-
panied by W. F. Hubbard, who has

they boarded small boat for the juno
tion of the rivers, six miles below

al Tuttle went to the Soldiers Home,
and Secretary Dunbar left for Astoria.
After viewing the river in the
vicinity of Winchester, Messrs.

pulled the boat ashore and Mcclure
and Reed got out and walked around
the falls. Mr.. Hubbard took the boat
over the falls and the other two got in

IAMACIANS ARE
FOR ANNEXATION
Want the United States
to Take the Leeward
Islands.

NEW YORK. April IA special to
the Herald from Washington says
State department officials are watch.
ing with great interest the growing
sentiment among the Inhabitants ol
Jamaica in favor of the annexation OF
the Leeward islands to the United
States. Thus far the matter has not
been brought to their attention in any
official way, but it Is not devoted that
the American consul in these islands
will, If the agitation continues, find it
incumbent upon them to make special
confidential reports on the subject.
The officials of the department consider
the subject rather delicate one to
discuss publicly, but they have been
reading with keen interest all that has
been said to the Herald concerning
the proposition for the exchange of
the Philippines for the Leeward is
lands.
While not consenting to be quote1
on the subject, they do not hesitate to
say that the United States would
doubtless be glad to make the exchange
If Great Britain would be willing to
undertake negotiations. They do not
consider, however that the admins
tration could properly initiate the
matter at this time. A petition from
the people of the island formerly pres
ented to the British government, will
in their opinion, be the first legitimate
move i'm the direction of official nego-
tiations.
The general belief among public
men here is that it is mainly ques-
tion as to whether Great Britain
would be willing to relinquish soyer-
eighty over the Leeward islands in
return for the Philippines. AS far as,
the United States is concerned, it is
thought that public sentiment here |
would be entirely favorable to the
trade.

OREGON FLAX TESTED.
Sacks Made of 1t Is Far Superior to Jute
Bags.


Recently Warden Catron, of the
Washington penitentiary, made a test
of the fax raised in Oregon and Cali
fornia oy converting it into grain
sacks, and gave the following state
ment to the Walla Walla Statesman:
"Knowing the interest taken by the
people of Walla Walla county, as we'll
as the rest of the state, in any indus.
try of practical nature that will bene-
fit the community, determined to give
the bales of Oregon and California tow
thst was sent me every opportunity
possible to make it 4 success and ] am
more than pleased TO state that it is
an unqualified success in every sense
of the word and, all things being
equal, l see noreason in the world why
the penitentiary should not use it in
stead of jute, and ! see in this success
a new and very profitable industry Tor
the state. You must remember that
the machinery for the manufacture Of
jute bags is not the same that is used
for fiax, but the success of this initial
test convinces me that with very
slight changes the same machinery
can be adapted. After the manufac-
ture of the bags l gave them the Sc
verest possible test.
II had jute bag filled with wheat
and one also of fax; both we're crammed
aud sown as strongly and tightly as
could be done, then each was taken
by two of the strongest men in the
penitentiary, raised as high as they
could and thrown to the ground with
violence. The juLe bag bursted in the
second fall and the fax bag on the
third fall. The fax bag weighed Is
ounces and the jute bag 13 ounces,
and, taking everything into consider
alton, the fax bag stood the test better
than the jute.''
