TllK Spanish government it was an-
nounced at Washington has demanded

Havana and that merchant vessels take
supplies to the Cuban sufferers Instead
of United States warships. The gov-
ernment at Washington has complied
with the latter demand but will not
recall Gen. Lee.
Tiik Army nnd Ziavy Journal at Bos-
ton has published a long article under
the heading "Preparing for War" in
which the present warlike situation Is
carefully reviewed. It states that
there is grave danger in the United
States from Ignorance and over-confidence
but In caf-e of extremity there
would be such an uprising of a great
people as would shako the world.
Tun Berlin Tagcblatt published a
dispatch from Pckin on the 7th saying

andTa-Llcn-Wan to Russia for IfJ years.
A iiiom.r feverish condition pre-
vailed In Washington on the 7th caused
by the announcement that Spain had
asked for Consul General Lee's recall
and the backdown by tho Spanish gov-
ernment did not abate tho strain. It
was feared that war was Imminent.
Reliable information from Havana
was to the effect that the report of the
court of inquiry had found almost un-
mistakable evidence that the Maine
was exploded by a mine.
It was stated that Japan realizes
that Russia Is making dangerous en-
coachtucnts in China where she her-
self should enjoy the fruits of victory.
Russia on tho other hand will not re-
cede hence a war with Japan seems in-
evitable. SKrnKT.ucv I.ono has Issued an ordct

dence taken about tho Maine disaster
which is of tho most startling char-
acter. It shows that the Maine was
blown up by design In which a num-
ber of Spanish guerrillas and volun-
teet and at'least one officer wero Im-
plicated and when the facts are made
known they will shock the civilized
world.
A oaiii.koham from London on the
8th said thut nothing short of a mira-
cle "can preserve the peace of the
world It was believed by British
statesmen and the grave news from
Washington combined with the tidings
from China and West Africa sent se-
curities down and thcro wns a panicky
feeling on the stock exchange.
The president sent to the senate on
tho Sth the name of William J. Cnl-
lioun of Illinois to be an interstate

ments on the 0th concerning tho Maine
disaster. A dispatch from Havana
said that tho cruiser Montgomery had
arrived there and wns moored near tho
wreck of the Maine. The court of in-
quiry held Us usual sessions examining
the divers. Tho wreckers were said
to be steadily at work.

ble gram had been received from Minis-
ter Woodford by tho president declar-
ing that Spain had exhausted without
success every means of raising money
for the prosecution of a war all the
fiunnclal centers of Europe having re
jected her overtures.
Tiik Chicago Times-Herald on the
10th said the governments of Europe
were exercising a restraining hand up-
on Spain to prevent her committing a
breach of the world s peace nnd to in-
duce her to accept the Inevitable with-
out resort to force. The creditors ol
Spain who were in large measure re
sponsible for tills diplomatic pressure
exerted by tholrgovernments have de-
cidedly warned Spain she must not
make war with America and that i(
sho docs tho money to curry on opera-
tions must come from the people ol
Spain and not from them. The effect
of this pressure has been to cool down
Spain.
A si'KC-lAL dispatch to the Chicago
Chronicle from Washington on the 10th

sage to congress in which he recom-

purposes and have enough available
cash left to safely conduct the business

Washington March 12. Hearts of
immediate notion In regard to Cuba
arc not well founded. Recognition of
Independence still stands as the prob-
able outcome. But no step in this or
any other direction will be taken un-
til tho court of Inquiry reports The
report is looked for confidently early
next week. What will follow depends
entirely on the chnractcr of the report.
Most positively It can be stated that
the administration hns received no
preliminary i-cport. Since the court
returned to Havana the last time
some very mntcrial additions have
been made to one branch of the in-
vestigation. When the court finished
the first visit to Havana and went to
Key West the negative side of the
case had been well established. Testi
mony of witnesses nnd evidence ob-
tained by divers had established pre tlv
clcarly that the ship had not been de-
stroyed by an accident. The later ses-
sions held at Havana hnvs been de
voted to tho positive side to the gather-
ing of evidence which might show how
nnd by whom the crime was perpe-
trated. Some sensational testimony
has been taken by the court during this
last visit to Havana. It bears on the
method adopted nnd to .some extent In-
dicates the character of the conspira-
tors. Whether this testimony Is snlll-
clcnt to furnish a basis for findings
which will materially Increase the re-
sponsibility of the Spanish govern-
ment only tho final action of the court
can determine. The administration
has no information on this line or
claims to have none. Rut any one can
see at a glance that there may be vari-
ous degrees of responsibility.
Aalatlc Squailron to lie StreDctlienril.
Wahhisotox March 13 Having In
view tho wres'ing from Spain of the
Philippine islands in tlie event of hos-
tilities the nav-1 authorities are con-
sidering a proposition to strengthen
the Asiatic squudron. This proposition
contemplates the attachment of the bat-
tleship Oregon to Commodore Dewey's
effective fighting force. The determi-
nation of the authorities to increase
the Asiatic squadron by tho addition of
the Oregon is not based on information
that the Spanish government has sent
any vessels to re-enforce tho squadron
In the Philippine waters. Tho Oregon
will not be needed however as much
for her heavy guns which might be re
quired to reduce the fortifications of
Manila and other ports as for the
large number of men sho carries who
could be used for a landing party.
nuna for Coaat Defenar.
Washington. March 12. Secretary
Alger has authorized Gen. Flagler the
chief of ordnance to make arrange
ments at once for procuring a large
number of rapid fire guns for sea coast
defenses. This action Is taken with
out waiting far tlie allotment among
the various bureaus of the war and
navy departments ot the SoO.000000
voted for the national defense. The
secretary felt that there was no rea-
son for further delaying the necessary
steps for the procurement of these
guns as It was felt there would be no
trouble in arriving at an equitable ad-
justment of the money available. Gen.
Grcely chief signal officer has been
given nuthorlty by the secretary of
war to proceed without regard to or-
dinary restrictions in establishing
rapid telegraph connections between
the sea coast fortifications.

J. Dalbcrts who was a gunner on the
cruiser Detroit when that vessel weut
on Its eventful voyage to Chili has ar-
rived here direct from Havana and
tells of a startling rcmatk he over-
heard which if true will make a war
with Spain Inevitable. Dalberts story
is that while in a restaurant in Ha-
vana Inst Saturday night and while
seatcjl opposite three Spaniards who
conversed in low tones he heard them
discussing the Maine explosion and
the sending of the cruiser Montgomery
to Cuba. They said the Yankees were
not satisfied with losing one ship and
would soon seo the Montgomery go to
the bottom of the harbor. He says the
conversation indicated that the Span-
iards had their plans laid for blowinj.'
up the Montgomery.
Slow Work of tVrrrlteftL
Havana Murcli 12. The work of

real progress is made it is scarcely ap-

lioped that when tho-mer debris has
been removed to the barge more bodies
will be recovered. It ray be how-
ever that the last body retaining n
shape recognizable ns human has been
removed from the Maine. Tlie officer
und men of tlie Montgomery are still
refused short" leave. They devote
much of their time to drill und set-
tling up exercises the latter exciting
much interest especially to the sailors
of the Spanish ships where the tactics
aro quite different.

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Thoae Co in Inn to Alnakn or the
Klondike tinlil I'li-I.l..
One thing should be luipressvil upon
ctcry miner prospector or trader com-
ing to Alaska to the Klondike or the
Yukon country and that is the neces
sity for providing an adeqt."t; and
proper food supnl. hether procured
in the Sinter In tlio Botninlou or at
the supply wlorcs licit; or further on
this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
hns observed or neglected this precau-
tion more than upon any other oue
thing will his successor failure depend.
These supplies must lie lieidtlifiilnliU
should bo concentrated but the most
careful attention In the sclcrtloti ot
foods that will keep unimpaired In-
definitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter is
Imperative. For instance as bread
raited with baking powder must be re-
lied upon for the chief part or every
meal imagine the helplessness of a
miner with a can of spoiled baking
powder. Huy only the very best Hour;
it is the cheapest in the end. Experi-
ence has shown the Koynl Baking Pow-
der to be the must reliable and the
trading companies now uniformly sup-
ply this brand as others will not keep
in this climate. Re sure that the bacon
is sweet sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place a chief reliance
and can under no circumstances be
neglected. They may if course be
supplemented by as n';..iy comforts or
delicacies as the prospector nny be able
to pack or desire to pay tar..latkh

A PRETTY INCIDENT.
The Ivtmliipitft of n .Siiiinlnh I nil) In it
Lone Milillt-r Hoy.
A recent traveler in Spain describes
a touching scene witnessed ut the depar-
ture of a regiment for Culia. All day
long there had been heard the meas-
ured tread of sold.crs inarching through
Hie street; all daj long gayly bedecked
boats had been passing to and from the
csset Hint was to take them to Havana
The twilight began to deepen when the
correspondent saw a "startling nnd
pretty sight" the impetuous action of
a portly good-looking and well-dressed
lady who noticed a young soldier walk-
ing dejectedly along down the pier iu
his traveling gray with a knapsack
strapped over his shoulders. All the
rest of the men had friends their
novias mothers relatives and made
the usual gallant effort to look elated
and full of hope. This lad had no one
and it might be divined that he wns car-
'y'ng a desolate heart over tho seas
The handsome woman burst from her
group ot friends took the boy's hand
nnd said: "My sou has already gone to
Cuba. He Is in the regiment of Andnlu-
tiin and sailed two months ago. You
may meet him Pope G.; take this kiss
to him." She leaned and kissed ills

The superior court was in session and
the little mountain town was crowded
with people. Along about the middle
of the day when the judge was worried
with a tedious trial Rill Williams of
the Lick Creek settlement began gal-
loping up and down the streets on his
little red mule firing off his pistol
whooping like a Sioux aud otherwise
dispensing the energy which a liberal
supply of corn liquor had inspired.
"Mr. Railiff" commanded the judge
sternly "go out and arrest that man
and bring him into court."
The bailiff went timidly out of the
courtroom and the judge attempted to
proceed with business. But Williams
racket outside did cot cease. It grew
worse and the judge looked over the
room for some one else to send out and
observed the bailiff sitting complacent-
ly on one of the bnck seals.
"Look here. Mr. Itailiff wby did you
'not arrest that disorderly man'.' Arc
you not an otticer of the court V"
"Y-y-cs" replied the bailiff quaking
with fear. "1 wur but l'e done flung
