Prominent in Late War.

It was announced from Havana
August 20 that Gen. Bandera, who
greatly distinguished himself in the
Cuban war for independence, had left
Arroyo Arenas, IL miles west of
Havana, with about 20 Insurgents.

were augmented later by an armed
force from Havana. The next day it
was reported that Bandera had been
wounded in the head in skirmish,
took part In the ten years war, as well
as in the war for Cuban independence.
He was well known in every province
of Cuba, and had great influence with
the colored people. When in Havana
Bandera was in the habit of gathering
crowds Of negroes about him and max
ing speeches to them on the ingrati.
tude Of republics. On one occasion
he went to the senate chamber and
delivered a violent speech criticising
the government for not giving him an
Office. Soon afterward he was ap-
pointed! doorkeeper of the house of
parliament. The position which Ban
dera aspired to was that of chief of
police.

FINLAND.

The car has confirmed for Finland
what he refused for Russia. He has
signed an act passed by the Finnish
Seim granting universal suffrage,
without distinction of sex, and specific
ally permitting women to become
members of the Finnish Seim and oc-
cupy any position under Seim from
speaker downward. Madame Jorgen-
son, a prominent leader Of the Finnish
feminist movement now in st. Peters,
stand as candidates at the first general
election. She says: I'm many parts
of eastern Finland, owing to inmi-
grafton, women are in a large major
ity, and they will support female can
didates until such time as all the legal
disabilities Of women are repealed by
the Sein. We expect to have nine
OR ten women members in the first re-
formed Sein. The new Sein3 will open
every profession to women. The army
however, we don't want to enter, and
cannot under the existing agreement
with Russia. And I expect no candi-
dates for the police. But there is no
reason why we should not command
ships. On the lakes in the far North
many women run small steamers. We
have met practically no opposition
from men, and that, in my opinion,
gives Finland right to claim a higher
status in civilization than other Eu-
ropean countries" The general trend
of Finnish politics during the past few
months gives fresh strength to the
old saw, that "a people has just as
good a government as it ought to

loss may be as high as $250,000,000.
The town of Quillota, situated about
26 miles from Valparaiso and having
a population of some 10000, has been
completely destroyed.
At Santiago many of the best pub
lie and private buildings were
wrecked. The loss of life there was
augmented by the panic which seized
the people, many of whom threw
themselves from the balconies Of their
homes.
The greatest damage occurred in
the provinces of Valparaiso and Aeon
cagua. The town of Arbaca suffered
severely, Llai Llai is reported to have
entirely disappeared and Limache and
Hero Viejo have been almost totally
wrecked. At Vina del Mar three-quar-
tiers Of the houses are in ruins.
The army and navy officers are
working heroically to bring order out
of chaos, but they are fearfully handi-
capped.
The injured are still without ade-
quate care, in spite of the tireless en-
ergy Of army, naval and private sur
geons and nurses.
The Brazilian congress has voted
an appropriation of $666,00O for the
relief of sufferers by the earthquake
at Valparaiso.
From the Plaza de Ia Victoria down
to the custom house only about one
third of the houses sustained damage.
The banks of the city and the customs
warehouses were not damaged.

towns of Virlage and Casablanca were
entirely destroyed, and that San Fee
hpe, Rancagua, Melipilla and Llaillai
were severely damaged.
Milk costs two Gillian dollars H.

The arrival of Bandera's body here
was the first news of the fight in
which he met his death. The conflict
occurred at the Silveira farm, near
Punta Bravo, IS miles from Havana.
A detachment of 80 mounted rural

and Lieut.. Martinez, were searching
throughout the night for Bandera's
party. At two o'clock Thursday morn

The guards made the chief and his
two companions special object of
attack, and all three received several
bullet wounds and were horribly mu-

was severe machete blow on the

made an ugly incision in his face.
He also had bullet wounds in his
arms and breast. The condition of
Bandera's two dead companions was
even more shocking: Their faces and
heads were terribly gashed, and they
also had machete wounds in their
breasts and on their arms. The
clothes of all three men showed
every evidence of the hard life which
they had been leading while GLIDING
their pursuers.
1t has been an open secret among
the rural guards that Bandera would
never live to be tried for treason, his
death being the main object of the
government forces operating in Hay
ana province. The smallness of the
party accompanying Bandera has
caused surprise here, but it is be-
lieved that he only had a portion of
his band with him. In any case, how
ever, it is believed the insurrectionary
movement in western Havana has
been broken up by Banderas death.

JEROME TO ADDRESS JEROME BAR
The Famous New York Attorney Will
Speak to Lawyers in the
South.

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, July 1s.-
The three days annual outing of the
Georgia Bar association, which opens
here today, promises to be of unusual
interest owing to the fact that William
Travers Jerome, the famous prosecut-
ing attorney of New York, is in at
tendance as the special guest Of honor
of the bar association. He has con-
sented to deliver an address before
the association, and it is believed that
he will discuss the principles of pure
government and of pure politics in
municipal affairs. Judge j. H Blount
of Macon, who was for years one Of
the judges of the supreme court in the
Philippine islands, but who has since
returned to Georgia, will deliver an
address on the subject of the law in
the Philippines. The program which
has been arranged for the sessions is
very interesting and includes ad-
dresses on the federal control of life
insurance and another address on GER
tain important legal problems in the
Panama canal zone.

TWO RIVERS CAsE|s LONG DRAWMOUT
Judge Brents Has a Most Strenuous
Time Listening to Questions,
Answers and Objections.

Questions and answers answers and
objections, maps and hot weather, with
no ice water, is what Judge Brents is
going through in the superior court to-
day while hearing the trial of the case
of Josiah Swindler, A. B. Frame and
others, a suit over the Two River
bitches.
So lengthy is the line of legal jockey
ing that the court felt compelled, this
afternoon, to do one of those mild
stunts in which he tries to shut off ex-
ira verbiage.
There's a whole lot being put into
this case which is not going to help de-
eide it," said the court wearily, after
another four column witness got half
way through. 1T seems that attorneys
in such cases gather up all and every
thing they can and throw it into the
judicial hopper. These mills grind ex-
ceedingly fine they say, but I don't
know that my mill will be able to grind
up all that"
From appearances the case will drag
out over tomorrow.

Man Brings Probable Story From
The Toll Gate
TRAVELLER FROM fle|N The AUTHOR
CLAIMS HE HEARD CHILD CRYING
NEAR ROAD SOUTH OF TOLL
GATE.

A man named Griffin who came into
town this afternoon from the Toll Gate
brings a story that it is believed that
clue to the whereabouts of Cecil Brit
tain has been discovered. According to
Griffin's story a man came through
the mountains last night from Elgin
and he stated that about six miles
from the Toll Gate while riding along
the road he heard cry that resembled
that of a child. Not knowing tnything
of the disappearance of the Britain
boy and thinking that there were some
people camping in the timber near
the road he did not pay any attention
to the cries. When he reached the camp
at the Toll Gate he was told OF the
missing boy and he then gave them
the information brought to Walla
Walla by Griffin. One party OF search-
ers left the Toll Gate this morning Tor
the place where the traveller said ne
heard the cry and they are expected
TO be back some time this evening.

BY Bert e. laOue.

TOLL GATE, July 1S.-The search
now being made for little Cecil Britain
is the greatest man hunt that has ever
occurred in eastern Oregon. Over 100
men are now securing the mountains,
forcing their way through the heavy
growth of underbrush and following
sheep and cattle trails in this sec
ton of the country in the hope of get
ting some clue that will lead to the re-
covery of the missing boy whose dis
appearance has been one of great ex-
citement for the past two days.
Every inch of the ground is being
gone over in a systematic manner and
every effort is being put forth by the
large number of searching parties.
They are working night and day, and
out and some nearly exhausted they
will not give up but persistently keep
up the search.
Although it was reported that In
dians had been sent from Athena up
to 1870 o'clock this afternoon they had
not put in an appearance. 1t is thought
that the Indians may be working along
the mountain trails toward the Toll
Gate and may reach here tonight.

would be able in a short time to find
