Liberals Chances Good.

Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. ia large
number of wounded men, belonging to
the government troops, were taken to
Colon Monday. This is regarded as an
indication of the persistence of the
rebel attacks.
The converted cruiser NamOuna has
been found to be practically useless,
owing to the bungling attempt to
mount heavy guns on board of her.
The Colombian government Is now
negotiating for the purchase Of the
steamer Bernard Hall, of the West
India G Pacific Steamship Company,
Limited, of Liverpool.
The Darlen brought 40 passengers,
who were obliged to leave Colon in
order to avoid conscription. They
say the chances of the Liberals sue
cess seem better than ever since the
commencement Of the revolution. The
British consul at Colon has entered
a protest against Jamaicans being
compelled by the Colombian govern
ment to fight against the rebels.
Guards are still kept on board the
trains running between Panama and
Colon.
Both sides are committing atroc1t'
les. In the attack made on the gov
ernment troops, Sunday, few mile
out of Colon, the rebels defeatd the
government force, and one of the lat
ter was afterwards found shot in the
abdomen, with both legs amputated.
This was reprisal for the torture
by the government of political pris-
oners.

TURNED OVER IN A soUALL.
Ohio River Boat Lost With Sixteen Passen.
ssrs-Happsnsd Without Warning.

Paducah, KY, Aug. 2l.-The
steamer City of Golconda, plying be-
tween this city and Elizabethtown,
ILL.,, was struck by squall during a
storm about 7 o'clock last night, as
she was EN- route to Paducah, and
turned over in 10 feet of water, six
miles above the city, as she was go
ing into Cromwell's Landing. Six
teen people are reported drowned.
The disaster happened as supper
was being served, and many of the 10
passengers were in the cabin. The
wind struck the boat without warn
ing, and there was no time for those
on the inside, to escape. Captain
Jesse Bauer and Pilot e. E. Peck
were the last to leave the boat and
swim ashore. They saved several per-
sons struggling in the water, left the
survivors in house near the river
bank and came to the city. Captain
Bauer, who arrived here two hours
after the accident, said:
"The boat was getting ready to
land, Wnen the squall sUfuck nef anu
she listed. Several passengers who
were inside jumped overheard and
were caught by the boat. The women,
all of whom were in the cabin, could
not be reached. The boat settled
down in 10 feet of water over reef
and two of the men who were in the
cabin broke through the glass and
were saved. The colored deck hands
saved woman, and do not think
she was the only woman saved. A
yawl which had broken loose, was
caught by some men struggling
in the water and rowed to shore. We
returned to the boat on this, but
could find no signs of life and return
ed to shore"
The boat was valued at $25, 900
There is no way to determine the
number or names of the dead until
the boats books are found. Captain
Peck places the number at 16.

CHINA WILL NOT RATlFY 1T.
Earl Ii Says the Proposed Manchurian Treaty
Is Not Acceptable.

London, Aug. 21.-According to a
dispatch from Pekin, Ii Hung Chang
recently called upon M. de Giers,
the Russian minister and urged a
settlement of the Manchurian ques-
tion. The Russian minister replied
that the indemnity had been settled
and all were ready to sign the proto-
col. The two governments, he said,
ought to determine the question in
the interests of permanent harmony
Ii Hung Chang asked that Russia
give the matter immediate considera-
tion in order to avoid exciting suspi-
cion on the part of the other powers
and thus hindeirng other important
matters.
NJ. de Giers said that the Chinese
minister at st. Petersburg had already
arranged the terms of treaty which,
out of consideration for the long
friendly relations between the two
governments, Russia was satisfied to
accept, but China was not satisfied
with it. This, he added, was not
Russia's fault. Ii Hung Chang said
it was certain that China would not
ratify the treaty that was previosly
proposed, to which other nations
made strenuous objections. Mutual
consultation and radical change in
the terms of the treaty were necessary.

The St.amsr Struck An Iceberg at 2 O'clock
A. NJ, and Sank Immediately - Boilers

Last to Leave, and Was Afterwards Lost
From the Llierait

Victoria, B. c., Aug. 20.-The
steamer Islander, the crack passenger
steamer of the Alaskan route, operat-
ed by the Canadian Pacific Naviga-
tion Company, of this city, struck an
iceberg off Douglas island at 2 A. M.
ON the morning of Thursday last and
went to the bottom, carrying 55 to
go souls, including passengers and
members OF the crew.
Some Of the survivors arrived here
this evening by the steamer Queen.
They report that as the Islander
went down her boilers exploded, caus-
ing the death of many who might
have escaped. Captain Foote went
down with his steamer.
There was 1915, 600 in gold on the
steamer, 500, 600 of which was carried
by passengers.
The description of the disaster by
the survivors is heartrending. They
say that the Islander struck an ice
berg, and so severe was the shock that
every door was jammed fast in the
staterooms, and the ill-fated passen-
gers, numbering l07, and the crew of
II were forced to break through the
windows to reach the deck.
Steward Simpson lost 10 in his de-
partment, and his description of the
wreck is clearly given. He was awak-
ened by the shock, and could not get
out of his stateroom until he broke
out a window. He reached the
bridge, where the pilot was on watch,
and, with the mate, ordered out the
lifeboats. The vessel was then taking
water fast, and the chief engineer re-
ported the pumps unable to take care
of the water. He also went below
with an ak, broke down the lower
stateroom doors, and stayed at this
work until the water forced him to
go to the upper deck.
By this time the ships boats were
loaded and had got away, and, while
the officers were getting out the last
life raft, Captain Foote called to all
hands to clear the ship, as she was
about to go down. This was the cap
tain's last order, as at that moment
the ship sank, and the captain, leap
ing clear of the wreck, was picked up
by life boat, which in some manner
was overturned. The day was very
misty, and all hands were forced to
shift for themselves. The officers
state that had the passengers not
rushed the boats, the loss of life would
have been small, if indeed, any at all,
had been lost.

WRECKED BY WAR.
Macarthur Says Philippines Are Psclflsd but
Not Tranquilizsd.

Chicago, Aug. 2l.-The following is
statement of General Macarthur,
as regards the Philippines
aWar has wrecked the Philippines
and laid waste whole districts. The
people in many districts have relapsed
into barbarism. The best conditions
prevail in Northern Luzon. You
may say that the whole territory is
pacifed, but not tranQuilized, but it
will not be many months before law
and order are observed everywhere.
while the conditions are not per-
feet, they are gratifying. A few
groups of armed insurgents are still
at large, but they will soon surrender,
as tbeir power is broken and they are
not being aided by the natives. These
natives have come to see that surren-
der does not mean death and they are
coming in every week with their
rifles.
Throughout Northern Luzon the
insurrection has been dead for some
time, and there is freedom of move
ment. Still, large criminal class
there commits depredations on Amer
ieans and natives, though the latter
suffer the most severely. The natives
are earnestly seeking the establish
ment of civil government that they
may root out these bands of criminals.
There is every reason to believe that
the whole country will soon be per-
fectly safe for travellers.
"At present there is some trouble
in Samar, but General Hughes, with
large and effective force, has gone
after them and will soon bring the in
surgents to their senses. That is the
worst place, but it is not interfering
with the coast business. In Cebu and
Bohul, and occasionally in Southern
Luzon, there is a slight outbreak, but
it is caused by the criminal element.
'The civil commission was about
to put into force some excellent ideas
for the municipal government of the
City of Manila when l left. The city
is in excellent condition, especially
in its sanitary department, and its
growth in business has been enorm-

respect.
Threshing is now well under way
throughout the Rogue river valley,
and from all information that can be
gathered the product of this year
will be about one half crop. The
lightness of the yield this year is at
tributed to the lack of rain early in
the season, considerable of the acreage
having been cut for grain hay.
This is the dryest season the Blue
mountains have experienced for
many seasons. An unusually heavy
snow fell during the past winter,
and it was hoped the water supply
would be ample; but the intense
heat of early July melted it all very
radidly, and now the mountain
streams are fed by springs alone.

SERIOUS BATTLE IN COLOMBIA.
Engagement Of July rs Resulted In Heavy
Loss on Both Sides.

New York, Aug. .17.-Details regard
ing the Venezuelan- Colombian conflict
of July 2Sth have been received, and
convey the first intlmation that the
battle was a serious one. The en-.
gagement was fought at Las Pilas,
La Parada and Pirinos, and lasted 26
hours. The Colombian forces were
compelled to retire, but not before
100 men on both sides had been kill
ed and wounded. Among tnese were
General Resendo Medina, of the Ven
ezuelan side, and four Colonels. The
army of 5000 invaders was divided into
2S regiments, some of which were OF
the regular Colombian army, COM
manded by government officers and
using the army artillery.
Because of the strict postal, press
and cable censorship exercised, the
victories won by the rebels lie several
battles were until now given as mere
rumors. A list of these battles was
among the adyices received by DR..
Resrepo. July TO- according to insur.
