Y., March 29.—El | Porvenir, tue Cuban paper, published to- | day for the first time an accurate state- ment of the cargo of the Laurada, which | is reported to have been landed in Cuba on March 21 with General Carlos Roioff, the Cuban Secretary of War, and other leaders on board. Although the war sup- | plies debarked are asserted to have ex- | ceeded in quantity those of any other expedition since the war began, it appears | from the new list that they were consid- erably less than have hitherto been printed. The numoer of rifles, instead of | being 6000, was only 2516, and the cart- | ridges 2,600,000, against 3,000,000, Instead | of three dynamite guns, as stated in a | morning paper to-day, from information | purporting to have been furnished by a “irustworthy source” (presumably the | Junta) there was, according to El Por- | venir's admission, only one. In aadiuon the inventory includes two Hotchkiss cannon and 3500 cannon shots, 30 tons of dynamite, 5000 machetes and 125 cases of war material—that is, electric batteries, fuses, machinery for repairing rifles, parts of rifles, etc. There was also a supply of clothes and medicines. Concerning the statement in yesterday morning's paper that General Roloff, who has forfeited his bail in the Federal court | here and in Baltimore, had not sailed with tbe Laurada, but was stillin this country, a member of the Junta said that General Roloff undoubtedly went with the Laurada and was now in Cuba. “I'm as certain of it,” he said, “‘as that I am sitting at this desk.” e Day to Go to Cuba.

Day of Canton, Ohio, has been selected as the special representative of President Mc- | Kinley to Cuba. | oFFICIALS WITH SOFT JoBS. | { Those Put Out of Office by the Supreme ‘ Court Decision Given Railroad Bureaus | of Information. | CHICAGO, Iri., March 29, — Western railroad managers decided yesterday to { wind up the sffairs of both the Western | Freight and the Western Passenger asso- | ciations. In their place bureaus of iafor- mation and statistics will be formed for both freight and passenger business. was agreed upon by the general and traffic | managers of the various Western roads | which have their headquarters in this | city. Cbairman Caldwell of the Western Passenger Association will become the chief of the passenger bureau of statistics | and information, and the members of the | board of administration of the late West- | ern Freight Association—C. A. Parker, H. | H. Courtwright, C. L. Wellington and H. L. Shute—will take caro of the difterent | departments of the freight burean. | _ The offices heretofore occupied by the | Western Pa-senger Association on ‘the fourth floor of the Great Nortnern build- ing will continue to be occupied by Mr. Caldwell and bis force while the ireight bureau will have accommodations on the | ninth floor of the same building, removing irom the Rookery building, where they | now are. All clerks and other employes | of the associations will find employment | in the new orgarizations. | The reason for placing all the four mem- bers of the late board of administration in | charge-of the freight bureau’s work is, not | becanse their services are needed, but | because the roads are under contract to pay them $10,000 per annum each for two years, of which term only three months have expired. Definite arrangements for the establish- ment of the new bureaus will be made next Wednesday, a meeting of the general trattic officials of the Western roads having been called for next Monday in this city 10 perfect the details of the new scheme. At yesterday’s meeting the officials of the Chicago roads only were represented, but | at Wednesday’s meeting, the officials of all the roads in the West are expected 1o t be present. Through the agency of the new organi- zations, the raiiroads expect to keep in- formed what the rates of each individual road are aud keep posted as to changes in rates. With this information at hand, | joint tariffs can be published by the This | bureaus and shippers anu travelers can be | | informed what the tbrough rates are, | while otherwise each road could only pub- | lish rates over its own line, and shippers | would, 10 order to find out what through rates are, have to secura information from all the different roads over which the busizess is to go. To make uniform tariffs would be easy enough without holding meetings for that purpose. The roads can send volun- tary information of what their rates are | 10 the bureaus, and if the rates do mot | correspond the roads can be visited by the | chiefs of the bureaus with a view to secur- | ing uniformity of rates. ikortd A0 Stanford’s Challrnge Not Accepted. CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 29.—The challenge of Leland Stanford University for a team race at Chicago will probably not be accepted by Harvard, as the Chi- cago Atbletic Club has been obliged to postpone the games until May 10, the week in which the Pennsylyania snd Yale track games occur. —_—— Eloped From Placerville, FRESNO, CaL, March 29, — Stephen Hammell of Placerville returnea home yesterday from Madera in company with | his daughter, whom he had captured after | an exciting chase.

Redmond Says the Appointment of a New Commission Is an Evasion. Finally a Motion Is Made to Reduce Premier Salisbury’s Salary, but 1t Is Def:ated. LONDON, ExG., March 29.—In the House of Commons to-day Hon. Edward Blake, Nationalist member for the touth Division of Longford, opened the debate on the financial relations between Ireland and Great Britain by introducing a motion for the relief of the taxpayers of Ireland, con- tending that the contribution of Ireland to the treasury of Great Britain was un- jusuly disproportionate. Mr. Biake added that tbe report of the committee on the financial relations be- tween Great Britain and Ireland had taxed. It was the duty of the Govern- 4 ment to take early steps for the adoption of remedial legislation. Mr. Redmond (Parnellite) seconded Mr. Blake's motion. He said that the ap- pointment of the new commission was a dishonest evasion and was intended to shelve the question for an indefinite time, but it would result in a hastening of the day when Ireland would find in her Na- tional Government the best safeguard | against further spoliation. Thomas P. Whitaker (Liberal) moved that while the exchequers of Great Britain and Ireland are made consoli- dated all portions of the United King- dom must be regarded as one country for fiscal purposes. This motion was sec- onded by Thomas Waring, member for the north division of County Downs, who is classed as a ‘‘constitutionalist and im- peralist.” Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Chancellor of the Exchequer, in behalf of the Govern- ment, said that the opposition ascribed everything wrong in Ireland for the past century to Great Britain. In 1817 the Irish and English debts had been consoli- dated and tue exchequers of both coun- tries amalgamated. The act had been passed by Parliament'by a unanimous vote, because it was felt that it would be a great relief to Ireland. He denied the stories of the poverty and misery that was said to prevail in Ireland. Continuing, Sir Michael declared that a system of taxation based upon taxable capacity was never successful owing to counstantly varying conditions in all parts of the kingdom. Sir Michael further said that if the Gov- ernment restored to Ireland the £2,570,000 she claimed was the excess of taxatuon she bad paid she would contribute notb- ing to the common expenditure of the United Kingdom, but would receive trib- ute irom England and Scotland. There would be a further inquiry into the matter of the financial re'ations between Great Britain and Ireland, the Government de- wise depart from the system established in 1817. Tue debate was then aajourned. ‘Tue House subsequently went info com- mittee of supply, whereupon the Hon. Philip Stanhope, Radical member for Bur- | ney, moved to reduce the salary of Prime | Minieter Salisbury, his object being to call attention to Crete. A warm debate ensued. mentary Secretary of the Foreign Ofiice, armly repelied the charge made by Mr. Stanhope that the Government was siding with Turkey. The charge, he deciared, was grossly untrue. Crete, he added, had been taken from Turktey, whose troops | were confined to the towns on the coast and she had been prevented from sending re-enforcements to the islands. At this point one of the Irish membars shouted “Tommny Rot.” The Speaker warned him that he must not repeat that expression. Mr. Curzon was trequently interrupted in the coarse of his speech, chiefly by members of the Irish benches. 8ir Charles Dilke, Radical member for the Forest of Dean division, said he be- lieved that the Government's policy in the Cretan matter had caused profound dis- satisfaction in Great Britain. Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, Conserva- tive, who was recently decorated by the | Sultan, tauntea John Dilion, leader of the anti-Parnellites, who bad spoken against the course of the Government, with advo- cating the maiming of cattle and at the same time posing as a Christian philan- thropist. A vote was taken on Mr. Stanhope’s motion and it was rejected, 163 to 60. PORTLAND HUSBAND'S WRATH. Intent on Killing a Physician Accused of Having Caused His Wife's Death. PORTLAND, Or., March 29.—Jacob Sit- {el has been chasing Dr. H, F. Hoffman all over town to-day with a six-shooter, threatening to use it if given haf a chance. Mrs. Sittel died yesterday as the result of an operation performed on her by the physician. The case was brought to the attention of the authorities to-day, and the health officer refused to issue a death certiticate.

TACOMA, Wasn.,, March 29.—The re- cent decision of Judge Hanford in the Paaific Bank case, finding four acres of city lands escheatea to the county, has led to the discoyery that another tract of thirteen acres and another tract of four acres are, under a later law of escheat, the property of the State for the benefit of the common schools of Pierce County. The discovery has caused consternation among real estate speculators, who have been claiming the property as theirs under bogus titles. Action will now be taken to assert escheat ownership. George Lewiney owned the thirteen acres and John Gil- bert the other four. Both died intestate without heirs. PR SR Tin Found Near Salmo. VANCOUVER, B. C., March 29.—A find of metallic tin is reported from a point near Salmo, on the North Fork of the Sal- mon River in the South Kootenal country.

SANTA CRUZ, Car, March 29.—The excursionists who came over the narrow- gauge yesterday from San Francisco were delayed some time at Felton, owing to a heavy landslide near the scene of the big accident that occurred near Rincon sev- eral years ago.

The local Indian famine relief com- mittee has taken new life and from all accounts a ship laden with corn and pro- visions will sail from this port for India within six weeks. Several weeks ago the committee decided that in the relief prop- osition they bad bitten off more than they could masticate and that the project of sending food to the starving inhabitants of Queen Victoria’s Eastern possessions would have to be abandoned. The prin- cipal obstacie was the excessive cost of getting Western corn to the railroads and then to the ses. So the committee called a halt and decided to send the $800 alr-ady subscribed to the reiief headquarters in London. ‘Within the past week the movement has received fresh life. Secretary R. P. Perry hav been informed that the people have contributed $8.00 to the fund. In Iowa they have forwarded fifty earloads of corn o the kilns at St. Paul as all large quanti- ties of this product have to be kiln-dried before it can be shipped. The city of D.s Moines has also sent several carloads to be dried. From other parts of the East more corn has been collected and will soon be on the way. The local committee has been informed that at the present time twelve carloads of corn are on the way to this City. This will be stored in warehouses until the remainder arrives. At present about one third of a shipload is in sight— that 18, sufficient to load a vessel that will hotd 3000 tons or 220 carloads. The com- mittee is greatly encouraged with the manner in which the peuple of the East are taking hold of this matter, and the members have no doubt but that the ship laden with corn will sail from this port within six or eight weeks for India. WHEELMEN DENOUNCE THE EXAMINER. SACRAMENTO, CaL., March 29.—The Capitol City Wheelmen of this city passed the following resolution at their session this evening by a four-fifth vote: Resolved, That the 8an Francisco Daily Examiner, having opposed the approval of the several good roads bills passed by the late Legisiature and supported and worked for by all the cycling interests of the State, and this club in particular; and bavingshown no good and sufficient reasons for antagonizing these measures, which are of the highest importance to the people and the good of the State; that the San Francisco Daily Examiner be and the same is hereby discontinued in these club- rooms, since it is inconpistent for this club to pay any money. no matter how small the amount, to the support of the opponent of said measures. Resolved, Also, that the San Francisco Daily Examiner be discontinued because it is nct a fit and proper. journal in its general character for any respectable reading- room, the club approving similar actio taken by social, literary and other clubs and libraries and reading-rooms in many parts of the United States concerning the San Francisco Examiner, the New York Journal and the New York World. Resolved, That we respectfully advise other cycling clubs, in the interests of unity and common purpose, to take action similar to this, [ ‘son, 364 miles 5 laps; Golde: WATER RUSHING OVER THE LEVEES Now the Great Mississippi Flood Has Reached New Orleans. Alarming Reports of the River’s Rise Come From Many Sections. Thousands of Acres of Fertile Fields in a Fertile Valley Will Be Submerged. NEW ORLEANS, La., March -29.—The river finally reached the top of the leyee this morning and began running over into Mandeville street, directly in front of the celebrated French market building. Itis not believed that any material damage will occur to property. The people in the city are not greatly alarmed because the levee at that point is a very strong one and there is no fear that it will break, no matter how much water flows over it. That portion of the river where the water is flowing over is the nearest point between the river and Lake Pontchartrain. The water coming over the levee can be easily carried back into the lake. There are several streets which would carry it to the lake at once. Canal street and the main portion of the city is above where the overflow has occurred, so that very lit- tle damage can be done unless the water flows over the levee in the upper part of the city. The only news disturbing the citizens is the fact that freshets and rising rivers are reported from the States above Louis- iana. News has come that the Minnesota rivers are rising rapidly. The Mississippi at St. Paul has passed the ten-foot mark and is getting higher. Higher water is reported at Little Falls, St Cloud and Grand Rapids. At Quincy, Iii., the river is fitteen feet above the low-water mark. Every effort will be made by the city authorities of New Orleans to strengthen the levee. From past experience they know that the very high water only lasts a few weeks and after thatall danger is past. Usually when the river is booming the levees above break and that relieves the pressure here. If very often happens that the levee on the Algiers side caves in and generally save the city. MEMPHIS, Tex~., March 29.—The weather is cioudy 10-day. Another down- pour of rain is soon expected. The levees along the lower Mississippiare in serious danger of giving way, but up to noon they are intact. ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 29.—The river is rising steadily and is now within four feet of the danger line. Reports received from the upper river points state that a flood is on its way down and may be ex- pected hiere within forty-eight hours. It is raining this afternoon and therain is general throughout Missouri, Arkansas and Western Tennessee. ST. BERNARD KENNELS BARRED. Stockton Kennel Club Forbidden to Receive Their Entries for the Coming Bench Show. STOCKTON, Can, March 29.—At its meeting to-night the Stockton Kennel Ciub discussed the action of the advisory committee of the American Kennel Club in asking for the suspension of the St. Bernard kennels and of the National or- ganization in following the committee’s suggestions. President W. M. Gibson said on behalt of the Stockton Kennel Club that it did no: desire to take any part in the fight between the San Francisco Kennel Club aud the Olympic Gun Club. The desire of the local organization wasto see the differences between the clubs amicably settled; but it would not take any partin the controversy, desiring to retain the friendship of both. Notice has been rece.ved by the bench show commitiee here forbidding it to accept any entries from the St. Bernard kennels, or to offer any prizes donated by that cluo or its officers, From word received here to-day by J. E. Doak, one of the leading men in the local kennel club, it would seem that the differences between the warring dog fanci- ers in San Frangisco were in a fair way to be settled. Entries are coming in very rapidly for the show that is to be held here next month, and from the present outlook twice as many dogs will be benched as were here on exhibition last September. One of the features of the show will be an exhibition by the great bloodhound be- longing to John Quiggle of Galt, which will show how tracking by dogs is done. There are many other special features that have been arranged, but the dogs themse ves will be well worth the trouble of those who have promised to come con- siderable distances to see them. il Ao VIEWS OF A DOG-FANCIER, Says the San Francisco Kennel Club 1s in the Right. SAN JOSE, CaL., March 29.—Charles H. Harker, secretary and treasurer of the Santa Clara Valley Poultry and Kennel Club, in speaking of the fight between the San Francisco Kennel Club and the Olympic Gun Club said this evening: “The San Francisco Kennel Club is right. Itis justified in the action which it has taken. The Olympic Gun Club is just what its name implies—a gun club and not a kennel club. I have receivetl notification from the American Kennel Club that the St. Bernard Club of San Francisco has been disqualified. Prior to this we had received entries for our dog show, from the St. Bernard Club and from members of the Olympic Gun Cinb. These entries still stand, as the local club is taking no chances of a suit for dam- ages.” LG Washington's Bicycle Race. WASHINGTON, D.

At several stages Sulli- van’s effective jabs on the jaw weakened White perceptibly, and in the second round the Chicagoan went to his knees as the result of a right-arm_hook. Sullivan hit his opponent rather ireely in the final round, and had a decision béen given the Irishman would probably have receivad it. 3 e Garden City Cyclers’ kelay Team.

Powder and Drilling House Wrecked by an Explosion—Engineer Fred Clough's Bravery. ANGELS CAMP, Car., March 29.—A powder and drilling house at the Utica mine was blown up this morning, causing consternation among residents, for it was thought that the explosion had occurred in the mine. The building was small and only a few feet from the engine-house at the Stickle shaft. It was used as a drying- place for miners’ clothes and as a store- house for giant powder at times, Only one box of 100 cartridges was in the house, The woodwork caught fire from a small atove in the room and set off the powder. Engineer Fred Clough stood at his post, although he knew the powder was in the place. At the time he saw the fire he was hoisting a car, and to desert his post would mean the crushing of the miners below. The windows of the engine-house were all blown out and some other dam- age done.

It Is Suppos:d That a Equall Over- turned a Boat Near Hunters Point Last evening when Chivelo Michelo, who was fishing off Hunters Point, drew in his seines for the last time before set- ting s or home, he found tangled inits meshes the lifeless body of a man who had apparently been dead but a few hours, The fisherman recognized from the clothing of the body that a man in his own waik of life had met his death by drowning. He tied the body to his boat and towed it to the nearest wharf. The Coroner’s office was notified, and when the body was searched at the Morgue it was found to be that of Corso Scafano, wio resided with his son and daughter at 3 Greenwich street. Sunday morning Scafano and his son Michaelo went fishing, and cast their nets off Hunters Point. Late Sunday even- ing a numberof fishermen passed an over- turned boat drifting slowly out toward tie heads. The tishermen conversed freely among themselves about the overturned boat, but as they had not heard of tbe loss of any 31 their fleet they finally let the matter rop. Toat night when Boafano's body was drawn up out of the sea, all immedi- ately turned their attention to the son, Michaelo. Several friends then went 4o the drowned man's house and asked the daughter Mary where her brother was. She did not know and then it was learned that he had died with his father. The boat seen floating out toward the heads was the one father and son had left the wharf in early Sunday morning. There was only one conclusion to be reached, that the two fishermen had been caught in a squall and quick as a wink had been hurled into the waters to deaih. The son’s body has not yet been recovered. COLUSA COUNTY BANDITS CAUGHT Oregon Officers Apprehend the Mountain House Raiders. Trailed From the Scene of the Robbery to an Astoria Ranch. Both Are Young M:n and Are Be- lieved to Have Served Time in Folsom. COLUSA, Car., March 9.—Sheriff Jones returned irom Ashland, Or., to-day, hav- ing in charge the two men who entered the Mountain House Hotel, about twenty- two miles west of Colusa, on the evening of March 3, and at the point of their re- volvers compelled the occupants to part with their cash. They obtained about $20, and after exchanging shots with the proprietor of the piace rode on a few miles to the ranch of H. 8. McMichel, where they left ono of their horses, which was almost exhausted, and stole a fresh one. Sheriff Jones was notified and imme- diately started in pursuit. He tracked them through Bartlett Springs away up into Lake County, where they doubled on their track and came back through Bart- lett. They stopped there to purchase & pair of shoes and were recognized, but no attempt was made to capture them. They returned over the trail they had made in escaping, and were again recognized by the occupants of the Mountain House, who locked their doors and turned out their light, half expecting to be held up. Their trail was fol.owed north to Sisson, where they shipped some articles by ex- press to Ashland, Or. Their description was telegraphed ahead, and they were arrested by the Ashland officers about five miles from town, where they had ob- tained work on a ranch. The prisoners are young men, and both are supposed to be ex-convicts who were released from Folsom prison about the middle of last month. Oune of them, Wil- liam Roberts, about 19 years of age, was sent from San Francisco to serve two years for robbery, and the other, James Hanner, was sentenced from Tehama County for horse-stealing. Hanner now claims to be John Buchanan, and says he lived for severs! years at Arbuckle and has a brother working for Superintendent George Nortney of the Sulphur Creek mines. Both disclaim any knowledze of the robbery, and say the officers have made a mistake. Nevertheless they have been fully identified as the right persons. WORK FOR TAGOMA OFFICIALS.

TACOMA, Wasu., March 29.—The wily Japanese, who bave been copying so many articles of American manufacture, bave commenced shipping in pictures, booksand other articles falsely stamped as copy- righted or patented in.the United States. Now thisis to be stovped by Uncie Sam, for local customs officials to-day received a Treasury Department circular calling their attention to the act of Congress ap- proved on March 3, prohibiting such im- portations and sales, which are made to save the trouble and expense of obiain- ing copyrights.

Recently a circular was sent from Wash- ington warning patentees of the danger of allowing their machines and attach- ments to be sent to Japan until such in- ternational laws had been adopted as would eifectuallv prevent the hand me- chanics of the Orient from duplicating articles with impunity. ‘Ihenew iaw pro- vides that no book, map, cuart, musical or dramatic composiuion, print-cut, en- graving or photo which shall have unlaws iul notice of copyright attached, shall be admitted, and that any one who sh: knowingly sell such work ‘shall ve iiable to a fine of $100, one-half going to the in- formant and one-half 1o the Government.
