Washington, July 25.-The war de-
partment received today from General
Otis another dispatch. giving addition.
al particulars of the fight between Cap.
tain Byrne, with 10 men of the Sixth
infantry, and robber bands in the
island of Negros. 1t shows that the
victory of the soldiers will be greatee
than that reported in General Otis dis
patch of July 81. and that the loss sui'
tered by the robbers was considerably
larger than before stated. Much salts
faction is felt by General Otis over the
result of this preliminary effort in deal
ing with this disturbing element in the
islands, and he reports it as already
having sautary effect on other bands
intesting the locality.

Owing to reports of the damage to
cereals by heat, the Spokesman Review
has obtained a statement concerning
wheat in the Palouse and Potlatch Sec
tions. In the Palouse wheat and other
cereals never looked better. There are
no fields damaged by heat, squirrels or
blight of other kinds. In the Potlatch
not to exceed 10 per cent Of resown
fields are affected by heat, some farm
ers complaining that the kernels have
shriveled. The total of grain damaged
ny heat will be quite small. and more
than made up for by the excellent con-
ditiOn OF other grains.

DIAMOND MINE WAS MYTHICAL.

But Hardships Were Real, and Most o.
the Men Died.
Seattle, July 2l.-Out of party OF
FIVE which left New York five years
ago in search of a mythical diamond
mine on the western coast of Alaska,
but one has returned. He is H. G.
Hoffman, a machinist, formerly in the
employ Of the Baldwin locomotive
works. Three of the party-Walter
Dodds, OF Paterson, N. j.. James La
belle, of Canada, and man named
French-died of disease. The fate al
the fourth member, Henry Martin, OF
New York, is unknown
According to Hoffman's remarkable
story. the party left San Francisco in
June, 1894, in a small trading schoon-
er, bound for district lying between
the Kuaboo and Ikpik Pung rivers,
known as the Black Hole, where the
richest diamond mine in the world
was said to exist. They had two years
provisions. At Kaakak, Labelle died
from disease resembling smallpox.
Dodds and French were stricken with
the same disease. Rather suffer as La
belle did. French shot himself through
the heart, and Dodds. with an ample
supply of provisions, was left to care
for himself, with the understanding
that he was to overtake Martin and
Hoffman should he recover. Nothing
was heard from him again.
Martin and Hoffman pushed on to
kevoikog, Russian Indian village
near the Black Hole country. The
village was made up of Russian refu.
gees from the prisons of Siberia. They
robbed Martin and Hoffman of every.
thing of value and kept them PRISON.
ers. Hoffman was separated from Mar
tin and taken to another village, where
he was compelled to do mental work.
AT the end OF a month he escaped and
reached the small town OF Ssinan. on
the Koyukuk river. where he was liz
for several months. He never received
any further tidings of Martin.

The concert given by the children OF
the public schools on Saturday even.
ing last was an enjoyable success. 1t
consisted of choruses, solos, and sew
eral motion songs-all showing the
utmost care and patience on the part
of teachers and scholars alike. The
music was good throughout, consider
ing the immature age Of participants.
Little Margaret Norris's violin solo
was exceedingly we'll rendered, and
like number of other numbers, was
encored. The Quaker chorus, Suwanee
River. Play House, Minuet, Doll Drill,
Tambourine Drill in fact the entire
programme was we'll executed. Little
Harriet Wheeler's recitation brought
forth such round of applause that
she was compelled to repeat.
Miss fowler sang the Suwanee river
sweetly, the high school illustrating
by pantomimic gesture. 1t had to be
repeated The high school boys did
we'll in chorus, and looked every inch
the thoroughbred collegians. The
Mother Goose drill was pleasant
feature.
The house was crowded, and if the
enjoyment may be measured by the
applause it was one of the most sue
cessful entertainments ever given in
the city.

Now, fellow citizens by hearty
cooperation, all these things sug-
gested can be carried on simultan-

radically improved and beautified
that its oldest inhabitant would
scarcely recognize it-and 1900

Its sins of omission are more con-
spicuous than its sins of commits
sion. 1t failed to give some legis-
lation which was desired and de-
sirable--it gave none which was
pronouncedly bad and unwhole-
some. 1t did not increase taxation
lit did not ease the burdens here
tofore existing. 1t did nothing
with the burning questions upon
this important matter. 1t failed to
pass the law increasing the tax
upon railroad gross earnings to
four per cent. That was at least a
political mistake. The question as
to the legality or constitutionality
of such a law, which many of the
members urged in explanation or
excuse of their refusal to vote for
it has no force, in that the courts
would have settled that question, if
it had ever reached the courts.
