WILL START
HOME At ONCE
The Oregon Regiment to
Leave Manila This
Week.

WASHINGTON. Jnne General
Otis advises the war department that
the Oregon regiment will leave for the
United States this week. 1t. will be
sent direct to Portland for muster-out
at Vancouver.
| If the regiment leaves Manila this
W, elk the boys should arrive in Port
land early in July, possibly in time for
the celebration of the Fourth. They
| will come direct to Portland and then
go to Vancouver barracks to be mus
| tered out of service. 1t will take the
transport from % to 30 days to cross
the Pacific from Maaila to Portland
aud if there are any delays they will
hardly reach Portland before the sec.
ond week in July, but if there is fair
weather and nothing to interrupt their
trip, they may get home in time to
help celebrate the national holiday.
Plans for receiving and entertain
ing the gallant Oregonians in Port
land are taking shape rapidly. At the
entrance of the Colum bia the trans
ports carrying the boys will be met by
a fleet of boats and steamers loaded
with their friends and relatives. En-
terprising steamboat companies pro-
pose to run special excursions to meet |
the returning conquerors and heroes. |
The entertainment in Portland will |
be novel and interesting. The man
agement of the Marquam Grand has
offered the use of the Jheater free, and
the best talent in the city will cou-
tribute their services for the occasion.
Steamboat Falls From Tram
The little steamer Elida, which last
fall, it will be rememb bered, sank while
moored to the Yamhill- street wharf, is
making beautiful record as an un-
lucky craft.
But short while ago she was haul
ed out of the water and fixed in con-
dition to be transported overland to
some waterway in the vicinity of The
Dalles Though the boat is 65 feet in
length, it was found possible to trans
port the craft by rail, and with that
purpose in view, she was hoisted on
2 gigantic fiat car. Hardly had this
tedious job been accomplished before
the Elida, believing herseK in the
waves, gave fearful list to starboard.
with the disastrous result that she
fell off the car onto the trestle work.
Several ribs were broken and it was
feared for a while that the back was
broken also. However, the owners
are not so easily discouraged, and a
iorce of men are now at work raising

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The war

port from General Wood at Santiago,
in which he says that he has just re-
turned from a long trip through the
interior and along the north coast of

preceding trip, completed about ten
days ago, has included every town of
Importance in the province, as we'll as

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Tne opinion
here is that Spain has good bargain
in the price she obtained Cor the Pa
cific islands. The cash compensation
is about equal o,S5, 10000 Americrn
money, but in addition the guarantee
afforded by Germany are regarded as
extraordinary. The undertaking to
protect coaling stations for Spain, it is
said, commits Germany. in a sense, to
an alliance with Spain. 1t Is said
that the United States. might have
acquired these islands some time ago
on practically the same terms.

OMAHA, Neb., June 2.-The Union
Pseific officials furnish the following
account of the robbery OF west-bound
train No. 1, which left this city yes
terday: Just before daylight this
morning, in the midst of a drenching
rain, the train was held up just beyond
Wilcox, Wyo The robbers blew the
express car open with dynamite,
severely wounding Engineer Jones,
and then escaped in the mountains.
According to the officials of.the ex-
press company, the robbers only OBJ
tanned nominal reward for their dar.
ing crime.
A posse under the command of the
sheriff of Carbon county is in pursuit
and is confident of capturing them.
The soft ground caused by the rain
will aid in tracking the robbers. A
late telegram says y the bridge was
shattered, but has been repaired sufi-
cient to permit the passage of trains.
Passengers were badly frightened, but
the robbers made no effort to molest
them, confining their operations to the
express car.

OVERLAND
TRAIN HELD UP
Express Car Blown Open
With Dynamite

DENVER, Colo, June "A special
to the Times from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
says: At3 o'clock this morning the
Union Pacific mail and express train
No. l, was held up one and one-half
miles from Wilcox station, in this
state, by six masked men, evidently
professionals, who blew open the safe
of the express car and carried away all
Its contents. The mail was not touched
on account of the fact that four armed
mail clerks were in charge.
The mail and express runs as first
section of No. overland limited.
The second section follows only five
minutes behind. A bridge two miles
from the scene of the robbery was
fired to prevent the second section
from coming up during operations.
A bridge in front of. the train was
dynamited. The trainmen were all
covered with rifles and the robbers
took their time. The value of the
plumber is unknown, but it is repre-
sented as light.
The sheriffs of Albany and Carbon
counties, with posse and United States
marshals, are after the bandits, who
are supposed to be members of the
notorious "Hole in the Wall'' gang,
which has terrorized the state for
years.

drew the governor-elect. Time was
precious. Mollie and Trottic must not

A Noted Nurse.

There died recently in Paris Nine.
Coralie Cahen. according to the Jewish
Messenger, one OF the most noted nurs-
es of the Franco-German war. One
story of her work on the field is well
worth repeating. The greater part OF
her nursing was done in Vendome.
where. aided by two nurses and seven
Christian sisters OF mercy, she received
thousands OF French and German SOL
diers. When the Prussians occupied
Vendome they wished to hold the hos
pital and plant on 1t the German flag.
But, warned of the enemy's intentions,
Nine. Cahen, early one January morn
ing, visited the Prussian general, who,
surrounded by his staff. was about to
seize the building. Sir" she ex-
claimed, I'VE have received your
wounded and nursed them as though
they were our own; we will continue to
do so. but we will remain in French
ambulance; we will not have 1t con-
verted into a German ambulance"
Madame" was the reply, I'VE are mas
ters." "In the town 1t may be; here,
MOI" was the answer. I'VE are pro-
tected by the Red Cross and the French
flag; you have no right to touch either
the one or the other She conquered,
and from that day the utmost admira-
ton ives openly evinced for her by the
Germans. When, after the signature
of peace. the German medical staff
were about to quit Vendome, the sur
geon-in-chief asked leave to take a
public farewell of the French woman.
Accompanied by the military doctors
placed under his orders, he said /:
Madame, we cannot leave France
without thanking you. not alone in the
name of the German nation, but in the
name of humanity. We can never for
| get that you compelled us to yield in
the face both of your patriotism and OF
your benevolence."

Little Jack had two apples. which he
had saved from desert. There were
visitors in the room. and one of the
gentlemen thought 1t would be good
opportunity to give Jack a lesson In
manners. So he called the bog and
said: Il see you have two apples.
Jacky. Won't you give me one?"
Jack hesitated, looked rather ruefully
at his prizes. and finally offered tho
smaller one. This was what the gen.
tleman had expected. and he proceed
cd to expatiaie upon it. ending with:
Now, Jack. whenever you have any
thing to give away, you should always
keep the poorest for yourself" This
might be good manners. but 1t didn't
harmonize with Jacks desires. So he
ruminated over 1t while. and then
stuck out the other fist. Take the
other one, too" he said generously.
The gentleman was congratulatins
himself on his success, when Jack
Stunned him by saying: "Now, won't
you please give me one?"

Here is funny little story about the
Princess Victoria. One day her mother
took her to visit Queen Adelaide. The
duchess left the little one alone with
the queen for some time. and the latter.
to make the princess feel at home,
said: Now. my dear. you have an
hour to spend with me. and you shall

Exactly as like?" queried the little
princess in glee.
Yes" answered the queen, little
thinking what was to follow.
Then, dear Aunt Adelaide" said the
child. may l be allowed to clean tho

Rived on tho Sea An Their Lives.

4 little biue-Cyed baby Girl Was
crawling on the cabin deck under an
awning aboard the Iron bark Star OF
the East rs that vessel lay moorcd st
a pier in New York. Her mother. tho
wife OF Captain George Norman Ros-
crs. who commands the bark. was with
her child. whom they had named Star
Cameron Rogers. Beside the baby was
her sister Margaret. who Ia years and
months old. Little Star was born
aboard the bark while the vessel was
humm!ng along near the island OF iris
tan dc Chunn. In the South Atlantic.
on November II. 1895. There was
never healthier child than Star. Since
she was born she had been aboard the
bark nearly all the time. with the cS-
ecpt!on OF 4 short stay ashore ut Auck-
land. New Zealand. where the child
was introduced to her grandmother.
When a reporter went aboard. Star had
juEt finished her afternoon sleep. aad
after her mother had put n white silk
dress on the baby she was held up TO
be seen. She has rosy complexion
and bright smile and Is the picture
OF health. She has Travelled more than
10000 miles slncc she was born. and
has been around Cape Horn. Star
never slept In n bed. When she was
much smaller than she Is now her
mother took her into her bunk as
night. But on tho voyage home the
child slept In a canvas hammock. The
more the bark rocked and rolled the
better the baby seemed to like 1t. The
sailors OF the bark are proud OF little
Star, and say she is their mascot.
Margaret can walk and talk. She Is n
regular little sailor. She has been
around the Horn twice. and has made n
voyage around the world. Margaret ia
different from shore babies. She
does not care for toys. She has some
blocks and other little things with
which to play. but she likes best OF all
to stand at the wheel. Margaret also
sleeps in hammock. It is eNly during
rough weather that her mother takes
her Into her own bunk. Margaret celc-
brated the Fourth OF July by eating
her first orange and her first dish OF
strawberries. She did not know wheth-
er she liked the fruit or not.
