He I,ome Wan Carole**. PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 14.—The j Press prints today what It asserts to j lie the true version of the acquisition 1 anil publication of the letter from Mr. ! ill Ixtme to Senor Canalejas. The an- | thorlty el ted for Its authenticity Is j "A Cuban of the highest standing in ' the councils of his party." who re ceives his Information "from headquar ters in New York." The story pro ceeds to say: The letter was not stolen from the United States malls, hut was secured by an agent of the Cuban Juntu In the postoffiee at Havana. Don Jose Canat rjas, to whom the letter was ad dressed, never saw the original. He did not know until eight days after the letter reached Havana that such a letter from Spain's representative at Washington had been written him. "Dp Lome wrote the letter In his private residence at Washington, In stead of at the Spanish location. The paper, however, was marked with the official type an! read In the corner 'Legation Kspana.’ The same Inscrip tion was upon the left hand upper corner of the envelope. "Senor tie Dime did not mall the j letter from his house. In fact he had not quite completed It upon the morn ing it was written, and carried it to the legation, where It was first seen and noticed by a person who Is In the i employ if the embassy, acting In a sub-official rapacity. The letter lay on the desk of the minister in his in ner office, the outer office being his lilncn nf tn visltnrfi DuHncr i n absence of half an hour from the Inner office of De Ixime the elerk In question saw the open letter and read some of It. "The n»-xt day this name person sent word to his Cuban associates in Wash- i ingtnn to the effect that he had Been a letter from De Lome to Canalejaa j in which President McKinley was vil ified and autonomy called a scheme. Several of the Cuban leaders got to gether and asked the employe of the embassy to secure the letter, They did not believe bis storv. although he urged them to come Into the public j print and make charges against De Tsime. Because they did not have the 1 letter in their possession the leaders 1 refused to sav anything about if. The employe of the legation was urged to use all means in his power to secure the letter, although it was considered i probable that the letter was already In the mails when the Cubans at the Ifotpl Raleigh were informed of its ex istence. "The clerk in the employ of Minis ter de l-omc saw no more of the letter. ’ Hi» memory-written abstracts . were sent to New York, and if was urged that could possession of the letter lie obtained and his statements proven to lie true the letter would he, of ineal- i rulable value to the Cubans as sub stantiating what. Cuban leaders had maintained regarding autonomy and the genera! Snanisli policy in official circles to wart, this country and Its of ficers. Immediately words of warning ant! iirelnm: to lie on the alert u-ns Kent to every Cuban who might be in a position to obtain track of or inter cept the much sought for missive. "The letter reached Havana flvp day* after its nostmak in Washington. An agent of the Cuban narty who is an emplove of the Spanish postofflee knew that the letter was on the wav and when it came into his hands it was carried from the postofflee and a ropy was made of it. "Word to this effect was sent to the Cuban leader in Jacksonville. Fla., who at onee asked the secret Cuban junta In Havana to secure the original letter—that a copy was not what he desired. "The Havana postofflee clerk was not willing to do this, hut afterward consented, as lm was otdiged to ac count for a certain number of letters. The original was then taken, several blank sheets substituted In nlace of the paper on which De Tome had writ ten and the letter finally postmarked in the Havana postofflee and gent on its routine way. "Fight days after its arrival In the Havana office the sealed envelope, properly addressed to Scnor Canalejas, was delivered at the Hotel Inglatter. a. Sen or Canalejas did not regard the matter seriously at the time, although the hotel lw>v who brought him the let ter and the postoldre employe w ho had c harge of It were arrested. So uls > was the hotel employe who went sev eral times dally to tie pMiofflie f ,r the malls. The three were illsrhaiged after an examination.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—The steamer St. IaOtiiK, Captain Randle, which ar rived from Southampton, reports the loss at sea of the Molland-Amerlcan line steamer Veendam, Captain Sten ger, from Rotterdam for New York. The passengers and crew of the Veendam were saved by the St. Louis. At Quarantine Captain Strnger of the Veendam reported as follows: "The Veendam left Rotterdam Febru ary 2. with a general rurgo, nine cabin 118 steerage passenfers and eighty-five crew bound for New York. Had strong northwest gales and high west and northwest seas. February 6, at about 5:17 p. m. ship at the time bring In latitude, 49.35 north, longitude, 20.1 west, the steamer struck a submerged wreck or wreckage, which probably tore a hole In the ship bottom and broke Its propelior shaft. We found that our ship was making considerable water. We at once set all pumps to work, but notwithstanding tills the water gained on tic In the meantime all our boats were made ready In or der if necessary to leave the ship, as it was now sinking rapidly at the stern. At 1:30 a. m. we observed the lights of a targe steamer bearing about east by south from us. We made sig nal of distress, on which the vessel liore down on us. We then decided for Ill* mill l > Ul IIK- || ’.V llh' n mill ' • ’ " to abandon the ship. "The vessel proved to he the fit. I/juIh of the American line, bound from Southampton for New York. We hailed it and rrportod that our ship was sinking and that we wished to be taken off. At 1:43 a. m. we com menced to transfer our passengers and crew, u ing three boats of the St. Louis end one of ours. Our men were kept at the pumps. "At 4:53 a. tn. Monday morning everybody had hern transferred to the St. I-ottls. When the last boat left the Veehdam was laboring very heav ily and sinking rapidly by the stern. The transfer of the passengers and ctew took, notwithstanding the great difficulties and high seas running, three hours and ten minutes and was accomplished without the slightest ac cident. “As the wreck was a dangerous ob struction to navigation we decided to set it on fire, which was done. The position of tile wreck was then lat itude 49.19 north. longitude 19.47 west. On board the St. lyauis we were warm ly received and the captain and his officers did everything possible for our comfort. We take this opportunity to expres sour utmost gratitude also in the name of the passengers of the Veendam. H'lisat SIuiw'm mi I jnva ril Tendency. CHICAGO. Feb. 14.--Substantial ad vances took place in the leading fea tures in wheat last week, May dosing with a net gain of 2% cents, while July advanced 1% cents. The market was not without periods of wtaknes3, but in the main was strong, the feeling at times very active, especially toward the latter part if the week. Saturday and Monday there was a decided bear ish disposition among traders. Weak cables, favorable reports from ihe Ar gentine. India and Australian crops caused small declines. On Tuesday the market was helped by th" beat de mand for export that has bean re ported in some time. Urgent demand from many of the principal milling centers was also reported and the con tinued heavy northwest receipts gave the market, i drooping tendency at first, but the remarkable cash situa tion started a general huving move ment late in [he iny which ilnaU/ be came a scramble to covpt and a sharp advance resulted. There was a renc IIUII * # 11 cuilt:nuu\ till I * ill 1 A I Ilf UilU outside selling, but on Thursday the market became very strong and re mained so throughout Friday. Reports that the l-eiter interests were making contracts for the moving of all rail of a large nart of their wheat to the seaboard and that part of it was for direct shipment to Liverpool ad vanced prices rapidly, the market tak ing on'at times some degree of excite ment under the urgent demand. Strong I-iverpool cables, small stocks at. that market and the fact that Argentine shipments fell short of expectations added to the strength of the general situation. Tlu* hull .IOM» Srftlr. BERLIN.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 12.—The work of searching for bodies In the ruins of Wednesday night's fire was continued through last night by 200 men, hut no more bodies were found. The debris Is still piled ten feet high, however, and, as more than a score of people j uii* still missing, the work will be continued without cessation until It Is positively known that no more dead are buried beneath the debris. That more people were killed Chief Humph reys of the fire department sayB there can be no doubt. He saw the walls go down 111 the midst of a great mass of humanity huddled together In a small space, and. while he did not care to estimate the number of people j killed, he says it will be largefy In ex cess of any estimate yet made. The search for the bodies Is nttended by great danger, not only from weakened walls, but from 125 tanks of anlv drsde known to be still In the smould ering ruins. Anlvdrade Is ammonia in Its most powerful state and Its ig nition would result in an explos'on which would cause Incalculable disas ter.

Mr. Wells lias been In Alaska three times, has traversed the Interior and has a prac tical knowledge of the country that Is inhabited by few persona, He says, among other things: "There arc un doubtedly large deposits of gold in Alaska, rivaling these of the British Northwest territory. I noticed excel lent mineral indications upon the Ta nana river and in other localities la 1K90. I discovered a true fbstiro ve n of quartz eight feet in diameter with well defined casing rocks upon the up per Tanana. This quartz evidently contained metal. Specimens which 1 secured to take out to San Francisco for assay were subsequently lost in a river catastrophe. Numerous creeks entering the upper Tanana revealed colors of gold in the r.and. "All of the gold-bearing streams of Alaska so far discovered, viz: Birch creek. Miller creek, Forty Mile creek. Sixty Mile creek and Seventy Mile creek, head In the vicinity of the Tn nana rlr. r and flow nwny to the north east. On the southwestern side and heading near the Tanana are the not ed Copper and Sushltns. rivers, the la'ter being the gold-bearing stream which recently came into prominence through tlie placer discoveries on Cook's Inlet. The Copper river Is pop ularly supposed to be located in the ir ni i wi u hiiii' i hi i'll. ii u i*i* sonable deduction that If all the streams flowing away from the Ta nana itself must cut through a gold hearing country. This ooitilon is stored by nearly all of the old-time miners now located In Daw son. Re cently excellent prospects were dis covered upon an American creek, a tributary of the Yukon In Alaska, Just below Forty Mile crick. Miller creek, Birch creek and other streams within the boundaries of Alaska in the Yukon valley still offers induce ments to placer miners. I do not be lieve that any better mining region will be discovered in Alaska than will be found in the Great Tanana valley.’* Tim Indian (.‘oiigrcss Srlmmc. WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. The Indi an bill, In which the Trans-MIssiss ippl exposition is v*tally interested by reason of an amendment <t carries ap propriating $45,000 for a congress of the Indian tribes, passed the senate yesterday afternoon. Senator Allen withdrawing his appeal on Senator Al lison's point of order against the amendment providing for the settle •nu nt of the Otoe and Missouri re servat'on lands In Cage county rather than Jeopardize measures In which the whole s'ate of Nebraska is interested. It was thought best to allow the amendment to go over, in view of the fact that that Senator Thurston had a bill cn the Otoe and Missouri affairs in Nebraska and Kansas. Senator Al len having withdrawn li s appeal the hill was put upon its passage, and, carrying the appropriation, not onl> for the Indian congress, hut for Indi an tribes and Indian schools in Ne braska, South Dakota and Iowa, it war sent to the house. On Monday the hill w'll he reported and the house will nonconcur in the amendments as at tached to the bill by the senate and conferees will he appointed. Should there he a disposition tofight the measure in which Omaha, and the whole country for that matter, i« in terested, counter opposition will he brought to hear aga nst other features of the lilll and a general Rebate devel oped. This, however, is not expected, tlie importance of other provisions of the bill being enough, it *s believed, to carry it through, the free homes foaturo uliioli u'ac altufliPil f» r <lfT. being a shrewd game on the part of the Eenate to force the house to pass the same to meet the clamor of many committees in which Indian re servations are located. Later in the day Senator Thurston called up and passed his bill providing for revision and adjustment of saleH of Otoe and Missouri reservat'on lands, which pre cipitated such a row yesterday. There was no objections to the bill and wlth I out amendment it slid .lirough the | senate. mtl|i|ilni; OdI l.clttr Wheat.
