cal condition OF the patient, without
stopping TO attend TO his father's needs,

cessfully completed the operation. His
task was most painful one, the opers.

hand on the part Of the surgs0n, and Il

Noble Work Done by the Second Ore
gon Volunteers.
Washington, March 29.-There was
nothing but high-sounding praise heard
about the war department for the Ore
eon troops, which have stood the brunt
Of the fighting in the Philippines dur
ing the past few days. The fact that
the regiments losses were much great
or than any other organization, and that
every company in the regiment suffered,
shows that the whole regiment had
been exposed to the fire OF the enemy.
The entire volunteer army in the
Philippines 10 highly praised, the Star.
this evening, giving it a half column Of
editorial commentator. It speaks OF
the lack of complaint among the vol
unteers in the Philippines and the SOL
dierly qualities. It is we'll to remem-
Der that the army in the Philippines
has been handled by soldiers. and not
BY politicians There is no desire now
on the part Of the volunteers to come
home.

Serious Crisis Rapidly Approaching in
JAmaica.

Serious Crisis Rapidly Approaching in
Jamaics.
New York, March 80.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Port Antonio, ia
maica, says: This island is passing
through severe crisis. The governor
is afraid to occupy his residence, and
if anarchism does not break out it will
be entirely due to the unequaled 10y
atty of the people.
Though the island is taxed to it's ut
most capacity with a tariff Of so per
cent on neceesaries. a weak govern
ment, in order to provide funds to pre-
vent the reduction of its memb ers' sal
aries. has actually introduced higher
tariff. The salaries Of the Jamaica
officials amount to nearly so per cent
of the revenue collectible. The people,
while willing to support these officials.
have not the means to do it. The
home government will not permit con-
tervailing duties. and thus the sugar
industry is crippled.
Coffee can find no market owing to
the enormous output Of the world. and
banana growing is the only industry to
which the people can look as a means
Of support. Dependence upon this AZ
tiole will soon be impossible.
Jamaica then will be driven by the
British government to anarchism, or,
perhaps worse. rebellion.
The island parliament is in session,
and the peoples representatives are
fighting hard to throw ont the tariff
bills as measure of relief, and as the
government side is further strength
ened by an additional four members to
outvote the people. it will succeed.
The whole country il aroused and in
dignant. The governor is afraid to re-
main at his residence. He is always
travelling away from it, and today he
il under the protection of the Ameri-
can flag. being guest of the president
of the Boston Fruit Company, at this
