The Austrian proposition to

of the racial war now raglog through-

Weyler's assertion that be had
pacified the province of Pinar del
Rio proves, as it was generally sup-
posed it would, a baseless fabrication
The late Captain General of Cuba
couldn't teH .the truth iMie had to,
and he has never given any indicati-
on wh> t ver of possessing such a de
sire. Effc is as great a liar as he is a
butchef, and in both respects he
caps the superlative.—X.
Great uneasiness is fait in Havana
in' the influential Liberal circles
over the News of the protectionist
movement iu Spain. It is believed
that if the government is not ener-
getically seconded serious conflict
will coma from the failure of the
new regime, the principal feature of
which is to leave the tariffs to Cuba
control. But it is hopod that some
means may be devised of harmoniz-
ing the conflicting interests.
Berlin, Nov 29.—The newspapers
have give publicity to a somewhat
rem arkable story concerning an at-
tempt to raid Klondike. It says
that the Canadian Government has
fears of a filibustering expedition
on the lines of Jdmeson in the Trans-
vaal. The enterprise is being organ-
ized ia New York by two Americana
named Routledgeand Jones, who,
backed up by capitalists, purpose to
attempt's coup de main next spring
on the Yukon in the districts where
the richest placers have been found.
Resting ou the fact that nine tenths
of the miners in this districts are
Americans and they are all armed,
they count on eaaly overcoming the
Canadian police. They would then
proclaim the independence of the
district and subsequently its annex-
ation to the United States. And say
the papers, of the United States re-
fuses to accept, then the district
would provisionally remain a free
state.
