ELY BROTHERS, 56 Warren St., New York City. Rev. John Reid, Jr., of Great Falls, Mont., recommended Ely's Cream Balm to me. I can emphasize his statement, "It is a positive cure for catarrh if used as directed." Rev. Francis W. Poole, Pastor Central Pres. Church, Helena, Mont. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for catarrh and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Prices, 50 cents. Even the hardy growths which we sent here lost most of their flavor. It inevitable result was that California fruit gained a bad name. "The growers' sonic time ago determined to overcome the difficulty transportation.

EDITOR GAZETTE:—I have read with interest Gen. Fitz John Porter's article on the battle of Los Molinos del Rey. In order to understand the causes of this battle and its results, it seems proper to note the movements of the armies, etc., for some time previous. We left Pueblo with 10,500 officers and men, in four divisions—Twiggs' and Worth's divisions, composed entirely of old regulars; Pillow's division, consisting of the ten regiments of new regulars raised for the war, and Quitman's division, made up of volunteers, one New York regiment, two Pennsylvania regiments, one South Carolina regiment and about 200 marines. We marched early in August, 1847, for the City of Mexico. Nothing occurred till we arrived before the City of Mexico, at the gate of the Pinos, "Puerta de los Pinos," which was well fortified, and to reach which we would have had to wade across a portion of the Lake Tezcuco. The engineers pronounced against an attack and we marched around Lake Chalco to the northwest side of the city. In the meantime, two days being occupied in this march, the Mexicans left and with the aid of a vast number of the citizens tortified Churubusco and Contreras. On the 20th of August Twigg's, Pillow's and Quitman's divisions attacked Contreras. The battle was a pure slaughter, our loss being trifling; while the Mexicans being taken by surprise at daylight made little or no resistance, fleeing partly toward Churubusco, but the greater portion went westerly, away from the City of Mexico. In the meantime Worth's division had marched directly towards Churubusco. They met with a slight resistance at some small place, but easily drove the enemy off. After the attack on Contreras the three divisions of Twigg, Pillow and Quitman went on a run two or three miles and joinedble. It was attacked at daylight and carried after a short fight. We entered the City of Mexico with only 7500 men and officers fit for duty. JAMES C. HAYS, Lieut. Co. H, 14 U. S. Infantry. HUNDREDS MAY PERISH. The Rush to the Klondike Must Cease or the Loss of Life May be Great. WASHINGTON, Sept 7.—The Treasury Department to-day made public the following letter from a Government official now on his way to the gold fields, stating at the same time that the writer, whose name is withheld, had been twelve years in the service and was thoroughly reliable. DYEA, August 22.—I deem it my duty to write to you on a subject that does not come strictly within my line of duty, as it trenches somewhat on the functions of the Treasury Department. I have had a long talk with Mr. Ivey, Collector of Customs for Alaska, who is at present at Skagway, three miles below here. The Skaguy trail is the most largely used overland route—though by no means the best—to the Klondike. Mr. Ivey informs me that there are now between tide water and Lake Bennett something like 4,000 people and about 2,000 horses. The commander of one of the vessels now at Skaguy states that sixteen vessels are chartered to land cargoes at that place between now and the 15th of September, and that the number of passengers will average 200 to each vessel, making 3,200 more people who will attempt to go in this fall. I have talked with some of the most experienced traders and miners in the vicinity and they are unanimous in the prediction that not over 20 per cent of this vast number will get through to Dawson before the winter sets in. The other 80 per cent will have to camp on the trail, and those who survive and get back to tide water will have to winter at Skaguy or return south. If the rush continues two weeks longer hundreds of people will perish. The postmaster and Indian trader at this place, Mr. Heron, states that more than 100,000 men have gone up the Chileno. SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEARBY Gen. James Longstreet, majoreral in the Confederate army, United States Minister to Turkey and proactive commissioner of railroads, married at the executive mansion Atlanta, Ga., on Wednesday to Ellen Dortch, assistant librarian of State of Georgia. The annual report of the auditor the Interior Department shows that amount paid for pensions last year was $140,477,637. The payments on pension for the fiscal year 1896 was $722,127, and the fiscal year of $140,558,641; $1894, $137,119,551; and $1893, $154,552,214. The cost of the vice last year was $3 99 per $100,1896, $4 07; for 1895, $4; for 1894, and for 1893, $3 35. Frederick W. Whitehead, porting a New York tea store, has fallen to a fortune in England amounting $117,000, left by a maiden aunt. He was 13 years old he came to country from England. He proved identity to the lawyer who was seen for him by means of an old bible he had carried with him for years on the fly leaf of which was his nieer's name. Judge Dooling of Santa Cruz talined the demurrer in a manner suit brought by D.H. Trout to co-county clerk to pay his warrants services as deputy assessor. Trout State senator, and when he retired from Sacramento was appointed deputy assessor. The county clerk refused issue a warrant on the ground. Trout could not hold two salaried positions, it being in violation of the law. F.P. Nye, a merchant of An Humboldt county, has married an girl to whom he had been engaged twenty-one years. A quarter of a century ago Nye went East. Return through the village of Lancaster alighted from the train to contend with acquaintances on the station form. His friends introduced him Miss Ranck, then a schoolgirl. A total attachment was formed and a spondence resulted from the misunderstanding at the station. This became engaged but adverse circumstances kept them thousands of apart until a few days ago when of the citizens fortified Churubusco and Contreas. On the 20th of August Twigg’s, Pillow’s and Quitman’s divisions attacked Contreas. The battle was a pure slaughter, our loss being trifling; while the Mexicans being taken by surprise at daylight made little or no resistance, fleeing partly toward Churubusco, but the greater portion went westerly, away from the City of Mexico. In the meantime Worth’s division had marched directly towards Churubusco. They met with a slight resistance at some small place, but easily drove the enemy off. After the attack on Contreas the three divisions of Twigg, Pillow and Quitman went on a run two or three miles and joined Worth’s division at Churubusco and the battle ensued. The fighting was very severe. We lost about 800 killed and wounded, while the Mexican loss was very much larger, they fleeing in confusion—so much so that Capt. Kearney (afterward Gen. Kearney, killed at the second battle of Bull Run) entered the City of Mexico with his company of cavalry, and it was there he lost his arm. It was then that Gen. Scott ordered the army to retire, and the army took up quarters at Tacu Baya and neighboring villages, Kearney being of course compelled to retire with us. It was learned the next day that Gen. Scott had written a letter to Gen. Santa Anna stating, substantially, that this was an unnatural war between sister republics, and although he could have entered the city he would not do so, and thus mortify the Mexican nation by occupying their capital; that the Americans only desired to settle the causes that led to the war, and if a settlement could be made of these questions the American army would retire, wishing prosperity, etc., to Mexico, and asking for an armistice to see if they could not arrive at terms. Santa Anna replied that, while Mexico was perfectly capable of defending her capital, he agreed with Scott that sister republics ought not to war, and agreed to an armistice August 28, the terms of which were that neither side were to receive reinforcements, nor to increase their fortifications, etc., but to remain in statuo, and the Mexicans were to furnish supplies to the American troops on payment for the same. Either party were to terminate the armistice upon 24 hours’ notice, and each side were to appoint three commissioners. The commissioners met several times, but could not agree on terms, and it being ascertained that Santa Anna was fortifying the city and obtaining reinforcements in violation of the armistice, Gen. Scott gave notice on Sept. 6th that he would resume hostilities. There was a great rivalry between the officers of Worth’s and Twigg’s divisions. Worth was at that time a great favorite of Gen. Scott’s. It had happened that Twigg’s division had carried off the honors of the battleof Cerro Gordo, also of Contreras, and so far as the regulars were concerned they had done the greater part of the fighting at Churubusco. It was reported that the Mexicans had a powder magazine at Casa Mata, a building on the right and in front of Los Molitas del Rey. It leaked out in some way and was generally understood among the officers that Worth had proposed to Gen. Scott that he attack and blow up this building with his division and thus acquire renown. Worth’s division, except perhaps 500 men who were guard duty, took up position in front of the building (Casa Mata) on the afternoon of the 7th of September. During the early evening Robert E. Lee, who was the engineer, accompanied fruit is not in the market. now and the 10th of September, and that the number of passengers will average 200 to each vessel, making 3,200 more people who will attempt to go in this fall. I have talked with some of the most experienced traders and miners in the vicinity and they are unanimous in the prediction that not over 20 per cent of this vast number will get through to Dawson before the winter sets in. The other 80 per cent will have to camp on the trail, and those who survive and get back to tide water will have to winter at Skagua or return south. If the rush continues two weeks longer hundreds of people will perish. The postmaster and Indian trader at this place, Mr. Heron, states that more than 1,000 men have gone up the Chilcot pass during the past thirty days, and that 700 of them are still this side of the lake, twenty-four miles from here. Vessels are arriving every day or two, and at the present rate of influx another thousand will enter the trail by September 10th. Mr. Heron is of the opinion that not more than twenty out of a hundred will get through, and says this trail is more dangerous than Skagua after the snows set in. He says if the rush continues another week the resultant loss of life will be appalling. It is difficult to suggest a way to stop this intrusion of people, but Mr. Ivey intimates that if the inspection rules of the Treasury Department were properly enforced it would materially decrease the number of passengers and incoming vessels. Nearly every vessel that arrives here brings twice as many passengers as the law allows it to carry, and many of them are condemned craft which have been fitted up for this trade. I have talked with several men who have recently arrived here from the Klondike. They two of whom left thirty days ago. They unanimously agree that there is a rich gold field there, but the facts do not justify the present stampede, and they say there is bound to be much suffering and actual starvation. Provisions are already scarce and the prices of many articles absolutely prohibitory in the case of a man of ordinary means. The mail facilities are very bad here, as the Postoffice Department has not made any allowance for the rapid growth of postal business. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.-The arrival of the steamer Cleveland from St. Michaels has been reported at Otter Point, B.C. She brings news that starvation is imminent at Dawson City, and that the steamer Excelsior, due here from St. Michaels, broke down at sea and returned to Oonalaska for repairs. The Cleveland brought down 38 passengers, who report that winter has set in at Dawson City and that the stores of the two great transportation companies have closed their doors as there is nothing to sell. It is stated that hundreds of unruly spirits are rushing into Dawson, and threats of violence are being made. At St. Michaels indignant miners have held meetings, making threats of vengeance because of their inability to get up the river. Enormous prices are being paid at Dawson for food, and it is not believed that more than four vessels with provisions can reach Dawson before the river closes. The miners brought down by the Cleveland are not very prosperous, and there is probably not more than $150,000 on the steamer. The passengers on the Cleveland report that on July 25th the stores of the Alaska Commercial Company and the North American Trading and Transportation Company closed their doors and announced that they had no more to sell. Drunkenness and disorder prevail at Dawson, and most serious consequences are feared. Miners issue a warrant on the ground Trout cannot hold two salaried tions, it being in violation of the Laws. F. P. Nye, a merchant of An Humboldt county, has married an girl to whom he had engaged twenty-one years. A quarter of his tory age Nye went East.

A total attachment was formed and a spondence resulted from the minor conversation at the station. The became engaged, but adverse stances kept them thousands of miles apart until a few days ago when decided to marry. The price for prunes has rapidly vananced of late, and to orchestrate have not already contracted for crops the outlook is cheering. Eastern apple crop is less than half of that last year, and thus great competitor of the Californian prune is removed. In addition crop of prunes in all the dozen tries of Europe producing them is one-halfthe average, and thus exists that California, Oregon Idaho, the three States that prunes will export to France many and Turkey and her depenies the deficiency caused by crops.

Foreign fruit is not in the market. Singley bill put the tariff on it a plea of Increasing the revenue. Excessive duty has lessened the tax that the revenue from foreign has greatly decreased." The miners brought down by the Cleveland are not very prosperous, and there is probably not more than $150,-000 on the steamer. The passengers on the Cleveland report that on July 25th the stores of the Alaska Commercial Company and the North American Trading and Transportation Company closed their doors and announced that they had no more to sell. Drunkenness and disorder prevail at Dawson, and the most serious consequences are feared. Miners who went up on the National City and the South Coast are still at St. Michaels and threaten vengeance against the people who brought them. The hotel at St. Michaels can accommodate 300 people, and it is believed that many more will leave Dawson and pass the winter at St. Michaels, where there is plenty of food. On August 26th the steamer Excelior left St. Michaels for San Francisco with a large number of passengers and a large quantity of gold. It was reported that she has $1,000,000 on board. Shortly after leaving St. Michaels she broke her propellor blades and was forced to return to Oonalaska for repairs. It is probable, however, that she left last Monday on her journey. The Cleveland brings news that the steam whaler Nevach was caught in the ice in the Arctic near Point Barrow, and 42 of her crew were crushed in the ice and frozen to death. The revenue cutter Bear went to the assistance of the disabled ship and took off Captain Whiteside, his wife, two officers and four seamen. Nine other seamen refused to leave the crippled ship, and it is feared they perished with their comrades. The survivors were taken to St. Michaels by the Bear. The steamer Humboldt stopped at Oonalaska on her way to St. Michaels with a large number of miners on their way to the Yukon. It was learned that it would be impossible to reach Dawson before next spring. There were open threats against the organizer and manager of the expedition, and it was feared he would lose his life at the hands of the passengers. A Cure for Bilous Colle.

Whitehead, porter of New York tea store, has fallen heir fortune in England amounting to $1000, left by a maiden aunt. When he was 13 years old he came to this city from England. He proved his ability to the lawyer who was seeking him by means of an old bible which had carried with him for years and the fly leaf of which was his moth-name. Dooling of Santa Cruz sustained the demurrer in a mandamus brought by D. H. Trout to compel county clerk to pay his warrant for prices as deputy assessor. Trout is a senator, and when he returned Sacramento was appointed deputy assessor. The county clerk refused to waive a warrant on the ground that it could not hold two salaried positions being in violation of the law. P. Nye, a merchant of Arcata,boldt county, has married an Ohio man whom he had been engaged for twenty-one years. A quarter of a cenago Nye went East. Returning to the village of Lancaster he met from the train to converse acquaintances on the station platform. His friends introduced him to Ranck, then a schoolgirl. A mutual attachment was formed and correspondence resulted from the minute's persistence at the station. The two men engaged, but adverse circumstances kept them thousands of miles until a few days ago, when they would apply in the United States district court at Los Angeles for an injunction restraining the ranchers from enjoining the plaintiffs in the State courts. When the company threatened to cut off the water used for domestic as well as for irrigation purposes Judge A. Haines and two or three other property owners obtained injunctions in the Superior Court here restraining the company from taking that step. The purpose of the company is apparently to have the federal court and got the State court decide the question as to the right to cut the water off. A distressing accident occurred on Friday morning at the ranch of Col. R. J. Northam in Bolsa, by which Harvey Howell of Westminster will lose his right hand. A well-boring crew was at work sinking an artesian well for Col. Northam, and Howell was one of the workmen. In the progress of the work a number of lengths of heavy well pipe were joined together and raised on the derrick, ready to be driven into the well. By some means the pipe slipped from its fastening and in falling the rim of the pipe caught Howell on the wrist, cutting entirely through and leaving the hand hanging by a mere shred. The Supreme Court last week reversed the decision of the Superior Court of Alameda county in an appeal by the Oakland Consolidated Railroad company from a judgment awarding Lorin Fox $6000 damages for the death of his son, aged 44 years, who was run over by a car. The company claimed that the damage was excessive and was allowed by the jury on account of the poverty of the parents. The Supreme Court agrees with this view, and remands the cause for a new trial. August Johnson and George Snyder of Oroville, Butte Co., went out hunting one day last week and stopped in the woods to rest. They sat down upon a rock and after they had been there some time one of the men saw a rattle snake near them. He pointed it out to his companion, who raised his gun and fired, killing the snake. In a second whole place seemed alive with snakes and the two men sprang from the rock and began firing at the reptiles. They shot and killed nineteen in a few moments and then tried to escape from the spot. After going a few yards they saw another, which they ten mechanics occupied rooms on the vessel, and as soon as the steamer reaches her destination they will commence building the boat and barges. It is intended to have them launched and equipped ready for service on the route to Dawson by the time navigation opens in the spring. The Lakeme went prepared to increase her passenger accommodations for the return voyage to this port as soon as her present cargo is discharged, in anticipation of a big demand for passage on the vessel from disgusted and stranded miners. A panic is spreading throughout Ireland over the terrible prospect of the apparently complete failure of the harvest. Reports from 110 parish priests from many counties all tell the same piteous story of ruined crops, impending destitution and famine. Blight has everywhere wholly or mainly destroyed potatoes, while oats, which is the next most essential crop to an Irish farmer, have been battered down by incessant rains and practically ruined. Recently a joint county organization, representing Kings, Tulare, Kern and Fresno counties, was formed at Fresno under the title of the Central California Developing Association. It is the purpose of the association to exhibit and make popular California dried fruits of all kinds, grapes, raisins and wines, and thereby create a demand for them where none has heretofore existed; also to induce beet sugar manufacturers and various industries to locate in the valley, increasing its population, its industries, the demand for its products, and adventures of all sorts that are beneficial and will promote and secure better conditions. J. C. Sullivan, a Wells-Fargo shotgun messenger on the Merced and Coulterville stage, accidentally shot and killed himself at Baxter station, between Merced and Coulterville. Sullivan has for some months been making two round trips a week on the stage to protect Wells-Fargo treasure from stage robbers. A week ago, on the way up, the stage stopped at Baxter, and Sullivan got out to get some figs from a tree. The gun was placed against the trunk of the fig tree, and he began shaking a branch within reach. The gun fell with the barrel pointing toward him, and discharged, tearing all the flesh from the calf of one leg and shattering the bones of the other. Sullivan was P. Nye, a merchant of Arcata, Baldwin county, has married an Ohio man whom he had been engaged for twenty-one years. A quarter of a century Nye went East. Returning through the village of Lancaster he met from the train to converse acquaintances on the station platform. His friends introduced him to Ranck, then a schoolgirl. A mutual attachment was formed and correspondence resulted from the minute's conversation at the station. The two men engaged, but adverse circumstances kept them thousands of miles away until a few days ago, when they decided to marry. The price for prunes has rapidly added to late, and to orchardists who not already contracted for theirs is the outlook is cheerful. The bern apple crop is less than one-third of that of last year, and thus the competition of the California pine is removed. In addition to the prunes in all the dozen counties of Europe producing them is less one-half the average, and the fact is that California, Oregon and so, the three States that grow pine will export to France, Germany and Turkey and her dependency on the deficiency caused by shortages. Dispatches from Rio Janeiro are to effect that whole companies of civilian troops were destroyed in the engagement with the fanatics at Andes. The rebels used dynamite great effect when the government approached to attack, and a number of soldiers were killed in explosions. The fanatics now impugnable positions at Canu and the government troops are less. General Oscar, who is in command of the troops, will suggest to minister of war of Brazil that cannons be beheaded and the fanatics be taken out by hunger. It would belish to attack them, as they have used scores of dynamite bombs in and near their positions, which be exploded in that event, resulting in great loss to his army. Yellow fever has prevailed at New Orleans for a week, and rigid quarantine regulations have been put into effect. It is forty years since the first visitation of yellow fever to any port of the United States. It was produced at Norfolk, Va., in July, 1870, but the war came on and speedily deteriorated its memories. At Jacksonville, both resulted in the death of 5 per cent of the white population. Dr. Hamilton, then chief of the Marine Capital Service of the United States, bounded the medical world at the time by incasing yellow fever patients and stuffing them internally with clareta, lime juice, etc. What an astounded has since become the organized method of treatment. The greatest devastation of yellow fever once the civil war was in 1888, when epidemic raged from New Orleans Memphis, and there seemed no relief. There were 100,000 cases and nearly 20,000 deaths. The government never had pardoned itself for that violation. The great yellow fever visitation of that year cost the government 100,000 for supplies alone. Nobody yet figured or settled the claims damages. The country no longer bears yellow fever. Medical science has improved appliances have rendered it comparatively innocuous. It never was a dangerous plague when treated scientifically. Passengers from Cuba report that Calvert Garcia, the insurgent poverty of the parents. The Supreme Court agrees with this view, and remands the cause for a new trial. August Johnson and George Snyder of Orville, Butte Co., went out hunting one day last week and stopped in the woods to rest. They sat down upon a rock and after they had been there some time one of the men saw a rattle snake near them. He pointed out to his companion, who raised his gun and fired, killing the snake. In a second whole place seemed alive with snakes and the two men sprang from the rock and began firing at the reptiles. They shot and killed nineteen in a few moments and then tried to escape from the spot. After going a few yards they saw another, which they shot, and a second later two more appeared. They shot these, making 22 in all, and then hurried from the place as fast as possible. There is a good deal of demand on the treasury just now for small coin, and Director of the Mint Preston is quoted in a dispatch as saying that the coinage of subsidiary silver and minor coins will be continued until a sufficient stock has been accumulated to meet the current demand. The available number of silver dollars in the treasury has been reduced about 8,000,000 and it is probable that an order will be issued this week for coining into silver dollars some of the bullion purchased under the act of 1890. No silver dollars have been coined for some months. Their coinage will be resumed because they are needed to meet the demand arising from the revival of business. The bullion purchased under the act of 1890 can be used only for silver dollars whenever its coinage becomes necessary. Australian advises say that papers dealing with the cost of extraditing Frank Butler, the murderer, from San Francisco, were laid on the table of the Legislative Council of New South Wales recently by Attorney-General Want. The impression was conveyed that these charges were made by the United States government. The documents, however, show that the enormous demand for £6000 really comes from the solicitors engaged to deal with the case by the British Consul at San Francisco, and it is the Consul who makes the extraordinary suggestion that "A punch bowl, tea and coffee service, with salver, or other similar article or articles (worth about £100), with a suitable inscription," be presented to the "Attorney-General" (Federal District Attorney) at San Francisco. Henry W. Bates, a well-known and wealthy resident of Elm Hill avenue, Roxbury, and a large dry goods merchant of Lowell, Mass., is defendant in two actions brought by Tillee E. Wetmore to recover $80,000, the allegations being of a highly sensational character. Tillee Wetmore was engaged in the practice of masage in Boston. She is middle-aged and good looking. Bates is 50, and lives with his family. In 1895, according to the papers, Bates left his family and came west, accompanied by Miss Wetmore. They wound up at Santa Barbara. There is where the whole cause of the present action centers. The first trouble is said to have taken place at Santa Barbara in March, when she alleges Bates committed an assault upon her; struck her and beat her. In May, 1896, the defendant unlawfully forced the plaintiff against her will to undergo a criminal operation. In June, 1896, he had her imprisoned one day in Santa Barbara. She asks damages in the sum of $50,000. The other action is brought to recover $30,000. Miss Wetmore sets forth that the defendant agreed that if she would give up her practice, he would pay her $1000 a year; that she gave up her business and that the defendant then failed to keep his mote and secure better conditions.

The gun was placed against the trunk of the fig tree, and he began shaking a branch within reach. The gun fell with the barrel pointing toward him, and discharged, tearing all the flesh from the calf of one leg and shattering the bones of the other. Sullivan was taken to Coulterville, that being the nearest point for medical assistance. The wound was dressed, but early next morning he died. He leaves a widow and two children. There are two happy old men in Walla Walla, whose names are William Taylor and Thomas Taylor. They are brothers and met after a separation sixty years. William Taylor is well known in Walla Walla, having lived there for twelve years and until last week believed his brother Thomas dead. The home of the men in early childhood was East Tennessee, where their father died when boys were young. William was bound out to a German and Thomas to a farmer in the neighborhood. Shortly after the father's death an uncle came to get the boys, but the German farmer had hidden William and he could not be found. The other farmer who had Thomas would not give him up, but the lad was stolen and carried off to Indiana. A few weeks ago Thomas was in Pendleton and in conversation with P.J.Kelley learned his brother had been a resident of Walla Walla for years. He immediately made arrangements to go and see him. Thomas, during his residence in Wallowa, had been in Walla Walla twice, though little dreaming that his brother William lived on Whitman,a short walk from Main street.William Taylor is seventy-four years of age and his brother seventy-eight. Miss Maud MoMullen who is accused of having robbed her mother at San Diego to elope with W.Greenbury was interviewed in Colorado Springs Col.,and said: "This trouble is simply because I have in my possession papers to which I am rightfully entitled.My mother is doing all that she can to injure me because I will not give them up.The papers are the $18,000 insurance on my father's life,the premiums on which I have kept up for several years.The papers were given to me before witnesses with the understanding that if I kept up the payments on the policies they would be mine and I am acting under a power of attorney from her in this matter." "The only excuse which I can find for her actions is on the ground that she is not responsible for what she does.My father is now in an insane asylum and I think that it was due to her actions that he was driven there.She drove my brother away from home and has broken up the family.I have agreed to support my mother if she would let me keep these papers.I have fulfilled my part of it,and now only thing that I see to do to protect myself is to have my mother restrained from doing me any further injury." Miss McMullen and Greenbury have been running an art school at Colorado Springs.Last week they closed up their business,and Miss McMullen will return to California to settle up her affairs.Greenbury will remain in Colorado.They have been boarding at the North Tenon street,and Latest devastation of yellow fever once the civil war was in 1888 when the epidemic raged from New Orleans Memphis, and there seemed no resistance. There were 100,000 cases and only 20,000 deaths. The government ever has pardoned itself for that visitation. The great yellow fever visitation of that year cost the government 10,000 for supplies alone. Nobody has yet figured or settled the claims of damages. The country no longer has yellow fever. Medical science has improved appliances have renderit comparatively innocuous. It never was a dangerous plague when treated identifically. Passengers from Cuba report that men, Callixo Garcia, the insurgent under with Maj.-Gen. Cebreco, has estilished headquarters at the town of Saguaru. His forces comprise 5000 men, all armed and equipped, and having with them four field pieces, two Hotchkiss guns and two air dynamite guns. Men, Garcia left a small force in the direction of Victoria de las lanas, the capture of which has been severely reported. It is said the Spanish loss was eighty killed and bounded. Gen. Garcia lynched eleven merchants of the town, and it is feared that thirty merchants who were taken merchants have been macheted. Later official details of the capture of Victoria de las Lunas by the insurents show that the garrison stationed there consisted of 350 men, 130 of whom were rendered unfit for duty by illness. The town was first attacked on August and on the 26th the insurgents laid edge to the place. The night of the with a heavy fire of musketry was maintained by the enemy, and the next day the artillery opened fire, destroying the barracks, hospital and a greater part of the town. The insurgents took possession of the ruins of the town on the 30th, when the military commander, three officers and seventy-five soldiers rumbled on condition that they be allowed to retain their arms and horses and be sent to Holguin. The remainder of the troops of the garrison, who had previously laid down their arms, have been sent to Puerto Principe. The heavier guns of the garrison were rendered unfit for use after fifty shots had been fired. The official report says the insurgents admit the loss of over one hundred killed, whose bodies were remained. A new phase has sprung up in the controversy over water rate between the Chula Vista rancho and the Land and Town company at San Diego. Notice was served upon the attorneys of the defendants in the case of C. D. Lanning, receiver, versus the Chula Vista water consumers to the effect that the plaintiff Miss Wetmore. They wound up at Santa Barbara. There is where the whole cause of the present action centers. The first trouble is said to have taken place at Santa Barbara in March, when she alleges Bates committed an assault upon her; struck her and beat her. In May, 1896, the defendant unlawfully forced the plaintiff against her will to undergo a criminal operation. In June, 1896, he had her imprisoned one day in Santa Barbara. She asks damages in the sum of $50,000. The other action is brought to recover $30,000. Miss Wetmore sets forth that the defendant agreed that if she would give up her practice, he would pay her $1000 a year; that she gave up her business and that the defendant then failed to keep his promise. The defendant acknowledges that he was in Santa Barbara with the plaintiff, but denies her allegations. At the meeting of the State Board of Equalization held at Sacramento on Wednesday last, Morehouse moved to raise the assessment of San Francisco 25 per cent. The motion was lost by the votes of Chesebrough, Colgan and Arnold. Subsequent motions by Morehouse to raise it 20, 15 and 10 per cent, were likewise lost. Arnold took up the counties in his district, and moved in turn to have Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange, Ventura, Kern and San Benito reduced 10 per cent. Beamer moved in turn to reduce Colusa, Glenn, Humboldt, Sonoma, Solano, Yolo, Napa, Marin, Mendocino, Shasta, Tehama, Yuba, Butte, Sutter, Merced, Madera, Kings, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barba and Stanislaus 15 per cent, and the motions all prevailed. Beamer also moved to reduce the following counties 10 per cent, which likewise prevailed: Alameda, San Joaquin, Santa Clara, Monterey, San Bernardino, Fresno, Santa Cruz, San Diego, Tulare and San Mateo. A motion by Morehouse to reduce Sacramento 10 per cent, received no second. The effect of the work will be to cut about $100,000,000 off the assessment roll of the State, and raise the tax levy over 5 cents. San Francisco will be the greatest sufferer by this action. The estimated increase of the tax levy over what it would have been had all the rolls been allowed to stand, is close to 5 cents on the $100. San Francisco and all other counties whose rolls were not interfered with will have to bear this increase. The steamer Lakeme sailed from San Francisco for St Michaels on Saturday in interest of the Alaska Commercial company, loaded with provisions and material for the construction of a shallow-draught river steamer for service on the Yukon, and three barges. News received from Guatemala brings the intelligence that the country is in a bad way financially and politically. During last month the following failures were reported: Frederico Chucono,$800,000; Lorenzo Eissen,$1,700,000; Enrique Mentze,$1,300,000; Ascoli & Co.,$100,000; Bauer & Co.,$800,000; Victor M. Matthew,$2,000,-; total,$7,600,000. All of these houses have been extensively engaged in the exportation of coffee and other importation of merchandise. A great many small firms have gone under for lesser amounts. The total of nearly $8,000,000 is a trifle misleading; however because it represents Central American money, which is very much depreciated in value. Reyna Barrios,the man who was President and who declared himself dictator of the republic couple of months ago, is excessively unpopular because of his recent high-handed action and his cruelties. There is a demand that Prosper Morales,a lawyer and former Minister of War,because he chosen to succeed Barrios.To prevent this Barrios intends calling a session of the Assembly very soon.in order to have himself confirmed as dictator. If he is successful.war is almost certain because the country will not longer submit to his oppression.If he is defeated.war is just as sure because he cannot afford to be driven out of office.Ex-President Barrilloswho made it possible for Barrios to succeed him.has declared that he will never again draw his sword excepting to fight Moraleswho has threatened to expose,his financial operations.Barriosis alleged to have killed a number of the most prominent citizens of his country because he thought they were not in sympathy with him.Besides these，243 men of lesser prominence are said to have been slain by his order.
