CAN SOON WIRE VALDES.


Seattle, Jan. 21.-The United States
military telegraph system in Alaska
will be complete from the international
boundary on the Yukon, a distance
north of Dawson, to Eagle City, and
thence overland 400 miles to Valdes
early in March. Lieutenant William
Mitchell, of the United Statse signal
corps, arrived in Dawson early this
month to receive a shipment of light
wire on its way up the river from
White Horse. This wire, weighing
about 16 pounds to the mile, will be
used for the immediate connection be-
tween Valdes and Eagle, and at that
time Lieutenant Mitchell said he would
have it in place within so days. Dur
ing the coming summer it will be re-
placed with the heavier wire, weighing
about 800 pounds to the mile. Only
600 miles remains to be covered to
complete the connection of Nome with
Seattle. The line has been completed
from Nome via st. Michael to Rampant
on the lower Yukon. The gap from
Rampant to Eagle will be finished
during the coming summer. By trans
fer at Dawson to the recently COM
pleted Canadian line, Nome and all
lower river points will have cOmmuni-
cation with the outside world when
Behring sea navigation is closed in the
fall of 1902. The permanent heavy
wire on the Valdes- Eagle division is
completed l07 miles from Valdes to
Copper Center. Valdes is also con-
nected by IA miles of wire with Fort

JACK WADE CONFEssEs.
Says he Fired Fatal Shot Declared Shoot.
ing Was Accidental.

"S Vos NNSlueItdt.
Portland, Jan. 1S.-Jack Wade
confessed yesterday that he fired the
shot that killed James B. Morrow.
The confession was voluntary and
complete and exonerates Dalton so
far as firing the shot is concerned.
While Wade admits his guilt in this
regard, he says the killing was acci-
dental, and that he had no intention
of shooting Morrow or any one else.
Otherwise the stories of the two men
tally fairly well. Wade his signed
written statement in which he admits
he was the man who fired the shot. and
says in this confession that he thinks
1t would be wrong to keep it back any
longer. He asked for nothing and was
promised nothing when he made his
confession, doing it simply as a mat
ter of justice to Dalton.
This is the confession, transcribed
by Mr.. Veazie, Dalton's attorney, who
took the confession, read to Wade
and then signed by him, after the at.
torneys had heard him tell his story:
81 have known all along that there
was no chance for me, and | have
wanted to see Dalton punished too,
because he gave us both away. 9ut
| have thought 1t over and concluded
it is right for me to tell the truth.

anybody, and would not have done 1t
intentionally, even to save myself |
hope this will save Dalton. l am do

because l am afraid to die. | can't
see anything in it for me.

scHLEY CASE IN CONGRESS.
Demand for Copies Ol TsstlmOny-PrObabiI.
ity OF Action.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Secretary
Long has written to the naval COM
mittee of the House stating that he
had received many requests from
libraries and other quarters for copies
of the testimony in the Schley case.
Mr., Long says this demand cannot be
met unless Congress decides to print
the testimony, and he suggested an
edition of 500 copies for the Navy De.
partment and a further edition for
Senators and Representatives The
letter has been referred to Representa-.
tive Heatwole, of Minnesota, chair
man of the printing committee.
Representative Watson, of Indiana,
chairman of the committee having
charge of the Schley bills and resolu-
tions, said today there is no purpose
on his part to avoid consideration of
the measures. He expressed tee
Presidential view that 1t is iRadvisable
for Congress to go into the question.
but since these measures were re-
ferred to his committee, they would
be acted upon on their merits. MIR.
Watson said the committee feels that
the members of the Maryland delega-
ton and other friends of Admiral
Schley first should reach an agreement
as to what particular measure they
want the committee to consider, as
it would be impossible to go into all
of the different plans proposed. More
over, said Mr.. Watson, 1t would be
difficult for the committee to take
intelligent action until it has access
to the testimony taken by the court
of inquiry, as it hardly would feel
warranted in forming conclusions on
the individual opinions of members
by any knowledge of the
testimony, except what is gathered
from fragmentary publications on the
subject.

OBSERVE M'KINLEYS BIRTHDAY
Move to Mark the Day by Services and Con.
tributions to Memorial Fund.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 22.-The request
by Governor Nash, of Ohio, has received
hearty response from the governors of
all the states and territories invited to
join in asking the people to properly
observe the 59th anniversary of the
birth of William Mckinley. Nearly
every governor has either issued proc
lamation or semi-ofiicially requested
that there should be memorial services
on the Sunday preceding January 26th
in all the churches, that contributions
be there received, and that all people
testify by their voluntary offerings their
love and devotion to the dead president.
In many states, notably Kansas, public
schools will hold special exercises and
give to the fund.
In any community where there is no
local auxiliary of the Mckinley Memo
rial Association, contributions by busi-
ness, fraternal or labor organizations,
schools or churches, may be sent to the
treasurer, Myron T. Herrick, Cleve-
land, Ohio. The funds will be applied
to the erection of fitting memorial
tomb to William Mckinley, over his
last resting place at Canton Ohio.
Judge William R. Day, ex-secretary of
state, is president of the association.

HARDER ON FILlPlNOS.
General Bells Order for War in the Strictest
Sense-Day Of Leniency Over.

Washington, Jan. % Having failed,
after two years strife, in subduing the
insurrection in Batangas province,
which lies juts south of Manila, and
having satisfied himself that lenient
treatment of the insurgents is pro-
ductive Of no good results, General 7.
Franklin Bell, the military commander
in that province, has determined on the
enforcement of the war in the most Wig
orous and determined fashion, involv-
ing RECOMMENDATION in modified form,
the application of martial law in all
directions, and the unsparing pursuit
and punishment of the natives who act
as spies and traitors to the United
States All this appears from long
report to the war department just pub
lished.
The RECOMMENDATION order is dated at
Batangas, December 8, last. In sub
stance, it provides for the establish
ment of a zone around the garrisons,
into which the friendly inhabitants are
to be required to come under penalty
of confscation and destruction of their
property. This is said to be necessary
to prevent the collection of forced con-
tributions from inhabitants by the in
surgents. The military officers are al
lowed to fix the price of necessaries of
life, and it is promised that the people
may return as soon as peaceful condi-
tions are established.
This order is followed by long cir
cular by General Bell to his station
commanders, commenting on existing
conditions and giving them advice how
to proceed 1t begins with the state
ment that he shares in the general con-
viction that the instructions continue
because the greater part of the people,
especially the wealthier, do not really
want peace. He says that it is regret
table that the innocent must suffer with
the guilty, but the greatest good to the
greatest number can be best brought
about by putting a prompt end to the
insurrection Therefore he directs the
application of general, order No. 100, in
force dudring the Civil war in the
United States, which practically re-
CARDS an insurgent as a guerrilla and
outside the pale of civilized warfare
and subject to the death penalty, wher-
ever such linsurgnt does not engage con-
tinuously in the war and observe all the
rules of war, However, it is provided
that there shall be no executions with
out the approval of superior officer,
Commanding officres are specially en-
Joined to encourage young officers in
hunting down the insurgents, and it is
pointed out that three is no just cause
for exceptional caution or apprehension
in attacking insurgent bodies wherever
found. At any rate, under existing
conditions, legitimate chances should
be accepted, says General Bell, as ex-
cessive caution will do the army incal-
culable harm. The best defense against
the insurgents, he says, is to assume a
vigorous offensive at once; to retire in
the presence of the enemy is hazardous
and discouraging.

HOT NAVAL BATTLE IN WHICH
GEN. ALBAN tSo KILLED..
Many Of His Men Are Lost-GOvsrnmen
Boat Fired by Crew and Sank-Phla
dsIphia Is Protecting American Interests
Rebels Try to Land TrOOps-Flvs
Gunboats Sank.

Colon, Colombia, Jan. 22.-Yia Gal
veston.--A naval battle began at 8
O'Clock this morning in the harbor OF
Panama. General Carlos Alban, gov
ernor OF Panama, was killed during the
fighting, which continued for some
time. The government boat Lautaro
was fired by her crew and sank, The
revolutionary fleet consisted of the
steamers Padilla, Darien and Gatien.
They are trying to force landing off
Saoana. The government ships were
the Chilean line steamer Lautaro, the
Pacific Steam Navigation Company s
steamer Chicuito and the Panama Canal
Company's steamer Boyaca. The first
named steamer was seized by General
Alban, and the other two have been
chartered by the Colombian govern
ment. The government forces have
been throwing up entertainments. The
United States cruiser Philadelphia is
close to the scene of the fighting.
Some of the men killed on board the
government ship Lautaro have been
brought ashore, where they are being
buried. Fire broke out on the Laurato,
and later the crew of the Philadelphia
went to her assistance and attempted
to put out the fire. While they were
thus engaged the Lautaro sank 1t is
reported here that the Lautaro crew
rebelled, and that the firing of the YES
sci was an act of treason
The revolutionary gunboat Padilla,
surprised the Lautaro at the opening
of the fight, and began shooting at close
range. Many men on board the Lau-
taro were killed. 1t is impossible TO
locate the revolutionary gunboat
Gatien. The slow movements of the
Padilla, which are noticeable from the
shore, lead to the belief that she has
been damaged The government gun
boat Boyaca has just moored to the
dock here. She brings troops from
Chiriqui. She reports that the revolu-
tionary steamers Padilla, Darien and
Gatien drew off when they became
aware of her presence. The Darien is
now said to be in sinking condition.
The death of Governor Alban is deeply
deplored, for he was loved by his SOL
diers and enjoyed the esteem of the
1t is asserted that the
death of the Colombian leader may
have the effect of bringing to the gov
ernment's side large numbers of men
anxious to avenge his loss.

HOOD RIVER OREGON, FRIDAY, a. 1902.
BY PRIVATE VESSEL.
Pacific Transport Service May Be DiscOntin.
ued- Root Favors the Plan.

Washington, Jan. 2l.-Although the
Pacific transport service is not to be
discontinued Immediately, it is quite
certain that within a reasonable time
the government ships will be disposed
of to private persons, and thereafter
the carrying OF men and supplies to and
from the Philippines will be done un-
der contract. The quartermaster' de-
partment is strenuously urging the con-
tinuance of the present service, on the
ground that it is efficient, satisfactory
and economical, and makes the claim
that there is a saving to the govern
ment of at least 100000 on each
transport that sails for the Philip
pines. 1t is further asserted that since
the transport service was first
inaugurated, the government has
saved, by reason of owning its own
ships, the full amount expended in
purchasing and repairing the transport
fleet, basing their computation on the
difference between actual cost of trans
portation and the price asked by the
private shipper
However, Secretary Root earnestly
favors and recommends the discontin-
uance of the transport service upon the
Pacific. He realizes that there are
now enough American ships plying
between the Pacific coast and Manila
to carry all the troops and supplies
that must be changed before the pres
ent service can be dispensed with He
believes that the several transports
should be granted American regis
ters and then be sold, thereby
enabling the government to realize rea-
sonable values, otherwise, they must
be sold at sacrifice. 1t is pointed
out that many hundreds of thousands
Of dollars have been expended in re-
pairs to these vessels in American
ports, and that there can be no reason
able objection to granting American
registers. This done, the secretary
would enter into contracts for carrying
troops and supplies Ian authority that
the department already has) but he
believes congress should bestow the !
further authority to enable the govorn-
ment, in case of war, to take full con-
troll of vessels under coontract, to be |
used solely for transport purposes upon
reasonable compensation to their
owners.
