HAPPENINGS HERE In OREGON
NECESSARY MONEY PUT up.
Financial Troubles of Oregon Electric
Company Are Over.

Baker City - The Oregon electric
company, which has been in financial
trouble, will resume operations at once
The Eastern capitalists who are back oi
the enterprise have put up the neces.
sary cash to discharge all the debts and
dismiss the attachments suits which
have been filed by creditors. The
money for this purpose has been re-
ceived by Olmstead & Slayer, the cor
poration attorneys.
This company was organized by A.
B. Frame, of Portland, who secured
valuable water rights on Eagle creek.
Considerable work was done last sum-
mer, but early in the fall there was
trouble over financial matters, and
Frame resigned as general manager.
Since then creditors have attached the
lumber, fumes and other property and
all work ceased. Several hundred
thousand feet of lumber had been de-
livered along the line of the fume and
work on the power house was under
way when the work ceased.
H. H. Andrews one of the officers of
the company, who represents the East
ern capitalists, is expected in few
days, when operations viii be resumed.

Regarded as Significant.

London, Nov. 26 The alarming re-
port from Toxic that japanese war YES
sells have been dispatched to intercept
two Russian warships cannot be con-
frmed here.
1t is possible this report is connected
with the statement of the Japanese
journal, the Nagasaki Shimpo, which
announced yesterday that a Japanese
squadron of II vessels had left Sasebo
for an unknown destination.
The fact that such statement should
be issued by the Russian semi-oficial
agency is, however, regarded as signifi-
cant. Curiously enough, the Russian
newspaper, Svet, few days ago, ex-
pressed the belief that communications
between Port Acrthur and Japan had
already been interrupted.
In Cardiff yesterday renewed activity
was reported on the part of the Russian
and Japanese agents, with view to Sc
curing further shipments of coal.

LED INTO AMBUSH
MAJOR SCOTT DECEIVED BY MORO
LEADER HASSEN.
Three Hundred Natives Killed - Major
Scott and Five Privates Wounded on
the American Side-F0rces Under
General Wood Completely Rout Rebels
further Uprising Not Probable.

Manila, Nov. 25.-Three hundred
! Moros are known to have been killed
and many others were carried off deaC
or wounded, as a result of five days. Sc
| we're fighting in Jolo between the Ameri.
and the insurgents. Major FL. L.
Scott, of the fourteenth cavalry, and
five American privates were wounded.
General Wood landed near Siet Lake,
in Jolo, November 12. The Moros
were soon located, and fighting began
Immediately and continued until No.
vember II.
Major Scott was taking Panglima Has
sen, the Moro leader, who had been TAX
en- prisoner, to Jolo. While en- route,
Hassen asked to be allowed to see his
family. His appeal was granted, and
he thereupon led Major Scott into an
ambush, where the American detach-
ment was fired upon. Major Scott was
shot in both hands. Hassen succeeded
in escaping during this unexpected at
tack, but is supposed to have been
killed the following day.
The fighting took place in a country
covered with swamps and rocks. The
Moros were driven across the country
from Siet Lake to the town which Has
sen had made his headquarters, and
where it was reported the Moros were
1900 strong.
The rebel position was attacked in
the flank by the American troops, who
occupied the town and inflicted loss
of so killed on the Moros' side. Has
sen with a small party, was sur
rounded. The rest of the Moros went
into the swamps out of which they
were driven on November Is, leaving
rs dead behind them On November
II the American forces renewed the at
tack on the retreating Moros, of whom
40 more were killed.
The rebel forces have been literally
destroyed by these operations. Gen
eral Wood says the indications are that
there will be no extension of the upris-
ing which was handled without diff
Guilty.
On November IS General Wood
started on an expedition against body
of 1000 Moros who are in the noun
taiIs back of Tablibi. No news has
yet been received as to the result of
this movement.
General Wood had under him two
battalions of the Twenty-eighth in
fantry regiment, one of the Twenty
third regiment, platoon of Captain
George Satley's battery, two troops of
the Fourteenth cavarly, and detach-
ment of engineers. Major Scott, assist

WANT CUBA TO WAIT.
Senate Leaders Agree to Defer Vote
on Reciprocity.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The Repub
lican and Democratic leaders of the
senate were in conference much of the
time today over the question of fixing
time for vote on the Cuban reci-
procity bill, and, SO far as they were
empowered to do so, entered into an
agreement to take the final vote on De-
cember Is, or little more than week
after the convening of the regular ses-
sion of congress. There was no oppo1
tunity to consult some of the Demo-
cratic senators who desire to speak on
the bill. but it is not doubted that they
will assent to the arrangement.
The treaty for 4 eession of the
island of Pines to Cdba was today fav-
orably acted upon by the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations, and it will
be favorably reported to the senate at
the next executive session.
The senate committee on foreign re-
lations today authorized favorable re-
port on the bill giving effect to the
Cuban reciprocity treaty.

Americas Influence With Panama VII
Be Exerted to This End.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The British
government is showing an interest in
the fate of the bonds isSued by Colum.
bia and taken up by foreigners, mostly
British and Dutch holders. Mr..
Raikes, the British charge here, had a
half hours talk today with Secretary
Hay at the state department, and it is
believed this subject was touched
upon.
The position of the department in
brief is that it cannot dictate to the
new republic of Panama what dispo-
sition shall be made of the money
which is to be paid oygr by the United
States in consideration of canal rights,
but it certainly holds it is only right
and just that Panama, in concluding a
treaty of peace with Colombia, shall
make provision for the assumption of a
fair share of the national debt. So it
is expected the moral force of the de-
partment will be put forth in this di-
rection.
The state department has not yet
been informed officially of the result of
General Reyes mission to the isthmus.
It is believed here that the principal
purpose of the visit of General Reyes is
to try to effect an adjustment of his
troubles by securing for the
Colombian government some share of
the money which the United States,
under the new treaty, will pay to Pan
anna.

STATE WILL LOSE HEAVILY.
Ii Rejection of Claim ito Swamp Land
Is Affirmed.

Salem-The rejection of the claim OF
the state of Oregon to 55, 900 acres OF
the swamp land in Klamath marsh
will, if affirmed by the secretary of the
interior, cut big slice off the sum the
state hoped to realize from the sale OF
this land. The states claim was for
100, 900 acres, and of this all but about
1000 acres had been declared by the
surveyor general to be swamp land.
The states claim was based upon the
swamp land grant of 1860. The Klam-
ath Indian reservation was created in
1864 and the.alottments to the Indians
were made within the last ten years.
The 55, 900 acres probably comprises
the best Of the swamp lands and if the
title of the Indians should be finally
confirmed, the remaining 1000 acres
which the state would receive, would
be rendered practically worthless.
Whether an appeal will be taken to
the secretary of the interior has not
been determined. General w. H. Odell
was attorney for the state in the pre-
sentation of the states claim to this
land. He does not know the grounds
upon which the decision of the assist
ant commissioner of the general land
office was based, but is very firmly of
the opinion that the states right to the
land is superior to that of the Indians
The value of the swamp lands on
Klamath marsh has been estimated all
the way from 100000 to $1,OOO,O 900.

AMERICA WAITS ON PANAMA.
Cabinet Decides She Must Ratify the
Canal Treaty First.

| Washington, Nov. 24.-Several sub
Jects OF interest and Importance were
considered at today's meeting of the
cabinet, which was attended bv every
member. Matters relating to the stu
alton In Panama were the most import
ant topics discussed. The president
and Secretary Hay have decided, and
the decision meets the approval of the
cabinet, that the existing government
OF Panama must ratify the canal treaty
before action relating to its ratification
by the senate is taken. The admins
tratlon has determined that there shall
be no repetition of the failure of Co
lombia to complete the ratification of
the treaty after final action had been
taken by the United States senate.
The treaty will be placed in the
hands of the Panama commissioners
now in Washington and by them it will
be taken to Panama.
This government, it is anticipated.
will ratify it promptly. It is expected
that it will be returned to Washington
bearing the seal of the Panama govern
ment early in December. President
Roosevelt will then transmit the treaty
to the senate with a request for it's rati-
fcation.
Secretary Moody presented the cab
met some interesting details just re-
celved by him from Commander Hub
bard, OF the cruiser Nashville, at Pan
anna, concerning the early phases of the
revolution. They came by mail and
contained important details not hereto
fore known by the administration.
They will be made public soon.

Alaska, announces that J. Bent, pas
senger on the steamer Excelsior, Cap
tain Moore, arriving today, reports that
a mass of wreckage from the steamer
Discovery has washed ashore at the
mouth of Seal river, 80 miles below

passengers or crew. It is believed, in
fact, that everybody on board perished.

Land Sells at S12O per Acre.

Milton-The high value at which ir-

shown by a deal just closed. Alfred B.

miles north of here, for 1900. Mr.
Fuller gets full use of the irrigation
ditch which runs by the property, but
only under the agreement that Mr..
Fuller does his part in maintaining the
ditch. Whenever deal is made in
this district it is practically the water
which is sold, as the land is worthless
without a proper supply of water.
