SCHOONER PRO-
lection WRECKED
F0undered Off Tiilamook Rock-Only
One Man Drowned.

ASTORIA, Or, Jan. 3.-The steam
schooner Protection, from Seattle with
a cargo of coal for San Francisco, foun-
dered ami sank off Tillamook rock on
the evening of December 81. But one
man was lost, and he lost his life in an
attempt to lower boat after it had been
determined to abandoned the vessel.
The Protection, with a full cargo of
coal, including heavy deckload. left
Seattle Thursday, December 29th at 2
o'clock. While the vessel was heavily
laden, she made fair time, and at five
O'Clock on the morning of December 80,
was off Cape Flattery. During that day
the wind was light. but there was
heavy westerly swell that seemed to
strain the vessel, but 1t was not until
the morning of the 3Ist, when the Pro-
lection encountered the southeast gale
che began to make more water than
usual. It was not until late that after
noon that the necessity of taking to the
boats became evident, and at the time
it was blowing southeast gale. When
Second Assistant Engineer Ed Benson
finally left the engine room to turn off
the last cocks the water was up to his
chin.
In lowering one of the boats, First
Engineer Carver was knocked overheard
and sank almost Immediately. Assis-
tance was impossible.
The boats were lowered, and, under
instructions from Captain Erickson,
both stood by the Protection for time,
until she was seen to take a deep star
board list and get deep in the water st
the stern, but she was not seen to act
ually disappear. AS near as can be
| figured, this was about 80 miles off Tilla-
nook rock. This estimate of the sur
vIvors, however, is very uncertain.
The boats coon separated, and neither
knew the whereabouts of the other, and
it was bitter night. New Years morn
ing broke with their boats tossing in
the face of almost certain death. In
the afternoon, 26 hours after leaving the
vessel, the boat OF Captain Erickson
sighted ship and headed toward it.
From the ship the boat was soon sighted
and the occupants were picked up and
safely landed on board.

II is believed that General Wade will
prefer the department of Dakota, in
which event he will be assigned to it's
command, with headquarters at St.
Paul.
1t is generally understood in army
circles that practically all of the camps
in the South will be broken up as quick
ly as troops are assigned to Cuba and
Porto Rico, and the volunteer regiments
now in the section are mustered out OF
service.
An ample number of vacancies exist
for the West Point cadets, who, in ac-
cordance with the order of the secretary
of war, will be graduated on February
1st. There are seventy members in the
class. No action has been taken as yet
by the administration looking to the
appointment of civilians.
After the cadets are taken care of il
will be necessary to provide several 9TH
er regular appointments, and if there
should be any vacancies, applications ot
civilians will receive consideration.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-

was never followed by that disease when

FATAL FIGHT
AT COLFAX
A Well-Known Plumber Killed By a
Bartender.

CoLFAx, Wash. Jan. Sat about
noon today fatal affray occurred be-
tween W. G.. Campbell, a we'll known
plumber, and James Hardwick, bar
keeper in Hagan's saloon. Campbell, Z,
who was drunk, wanted to pay for
drinks with bar checks, which Hard
wick refused to accept. A wordy alter
cation followed. Hardwick become very
angry, cursing Campbell, and finally
striking him terrific blow on the head
with a heavy beer bottle. Campbell
staggered back, then drew revolver,
and shot Hardwick through the heart.
As the latter was falling, Campbell shot
him in the back. Hardwick's death was
almost instantaneous. Campbell is in
jail. He will be given preliminary ex-
animation tomorrow. 1t is reported
that few minutes before the affray,
Campbell left the saloon and got his re-
volver, saying he was going to practice.
Campbell was a married man, about
40 years old, and had lived in Colfax
many years. He had always been very
quiet and peaceable. Hardwick was
much younger, and had resided here less
than year. He has brother in busi-
ness in PendleIon, Oregon.
Campbell's head was badly cut by
Hardwick's blow.
No inquest was deemed necessary.

DISCHARGE OF
MEN THE CAUSE
Only a Spark Needed to Plunge the
Province Into surrection-Gen-
eral Brook Ignores General Wood.

SANTIAGO, Jan. 4.-Meetings were
held at all of the POLITICAL clubs last
night, and even the most conservative
people, those tavoring the annexation
Of Cuba to the United States, were as
founded by the orders from Havana for
the centralization of the customs money
there.
The past forty-eight hours have COM
pletely altered the situation of affairs
here. The province had gradually set
tied down and was contented with the
with the order of things prevailing, rec
ognizing the benefits conferred. Now
there is complete change, and there is
no exaggeration in saying that the sit
uation is critical, and that spark would
set up blaze that would plunge the
entire province into state of insurrec-
Htion.
1t is generally admitted that if 1000
men were suddenly discharged from the
public works, such an action would
probably cause revolt which would be
hard to quell.
Major Geperal John R. Brooke, gov
ernor-generaI of Cuba, is apparently ig-
noring General Leonard Wood, in COM
mand here, and is cabling direct to his
subordinates. He has ordered the col
lector of customs to bank no money, and

has ordered his officers to close several
minor Offices, including that at Bayamo

MCMINNvILLE, Or, Jan. 3.-The dan

YULE ON THE Retreat.
Has Neither Joined White Nor Reached
Ladysmith---May Be Cut Off Whites
Victory Mere Skirmish---Big
Battle Imminent With Beers
Three To One

London, Oct 25.-The war office dis
patch seems to realize the worst fears.
Gen. Yule has abandoned not ouly
Dundee, but Glencoe also, and so far
as present news would indicate, he has
neither joined Gen. White nor reached
Ladysmith. Gen. Whites successful
action" announced in parliament by
Me-, Wyndham, seems to resolve itself
into a mere engaging of the attention
of the Free State troops, while Gen.
Yule is slipping southwark.
1t is evident from the official dis
patches that both Comandant General
Joubert's column on the north and the
Orange Free State on the west now oc-
cupy strong positions, and that nothing
binders the Beers from following up
Gen. Yule's retirement and getting
around Ladysmith from the southeast.
Until reinforcemeuts arrive it seems
that Gen. White is obliged to con
centrate on Ladysmith.
The secretary of state for war left
Mr. Choate's residence Immediately

rison. and proceeded to the war office
where even after midnight, there was
considerable activity, many visitors
calling to inquire for information,

but makes no mention of a Joining Of
forces
When the war office dispatch was is
sued, just after midnight, the officials
announced that nothing more would be
communicated until Wednesday after
noon, so that 1t is impossible to confirm
or deny the news. Gen. Yule arrived
after dusk at Beth, which is half way
between Roorke's Drift and Wasch-
bank. He had still heavy march and
was hardly expected to Join Gen. White
at Ladysmith until today His move
ments were aotuated by sound judg-
ment, as he would have been surround
ed and in a desperate position. The COM
bined forces at Ladysmith now amount
ing to about $1,000 men, will be able to
act on the defensive. A few more vic
tories like Glencoe and Elandslaagte
would leave the British troops without
officers.
While the Beers have failed to take
advantage of their strategic position
owing to incompetence or haste, the
British have no cause for congratula-
ton over the results of the Natal oper-
atoms. They have suffered heavy losses
men; and their efforts have gone for
lothing, the whole of northern Natal
icing now abandoned. 1t is not expect
| d that the wounded left at Dundee will
| uHer inconvenience, except in being
prisoners of war. The news of unrest in
Basutoland causes much enxiety The
correspondents who were taken prison
ers have since escaped. They report
that they were we'll treated by the
Beers, and that in caring for the
wounded were mutually helpful.
