NEW YORK. March 7.—Spanish an
thorlty In Cuba Is strengthened a lit
tle against attacks from within by tho
presence of war ships, says the Hava
na correspondent of the Tribune. They
give Captain General Blanco a means
i t repressing Internal disorder that
has heretofore been lucking to the
government. The volunteers and the
populace, who have been rejoicing
over the coming of the ships because
of the supposed effect on the United
States, have not thought of It In this
light. They will see Its bearings later
If they attempt a hostile demonstra
tion. i
But, while Blanco Is measurably re
assured against attacks from his own
people, no progress Is made In pre
venting assaults from without, nor
are the insurgents showing a willing
ness to yield any of the advantages
they have gained. While the recruits
for the Hpanlsh army continue to ar
rive from Spain, their coming seema
to Inspire no dread In the insurgents,
who are alike Indifferent to persuasion
and to force. The efforts at per
suasion by the autonomist cabinet are
proceeding, yet It cannot be said they
are muklns progress. Oovln and Hoi*
dominate the cabinet, for it is known
they represent the Sugnsta ministry's
willingness to make further conces
sions. The conservatives In Cuba
growl at this further weakening of
Spanish sovereignty. Just as they
growled at the original concession or
autonomy, hut they do not openly re
pudiate it. The censorship is too strict
to allow much expression on thdr
part. What the lntranslgcntes think
or what they might do Is of little con
sequence so long us the insurgents are
not entertaining the propositions
which the autonomist cabinet Is wlll
,ng to make on behalf of the Ragasta
rninlsiry. Gomez Is In Santa Clara
province, nearer communication with
the outside world than he has been
for months. His answer, which will
he a rejection of every proposition not
based on absolute independence, may
be received at any tlmp. After that
nothing remains for Spain except the
mediation of the United Slates or, if
not mediation, intervention.
Senator I'roetor, who has been look
ing into the situation, finds a condi
tion ripe for mediation, but bow It is
to come unless Spain is willing he
does not know. In common with
others he finds grounds for believing
that little* friction would lie experi
enced In Cuba by making the arrange
ments. The senator has studied the
political complications In Havana. He
understands the embarrassments of
Captain General lllanco and the gov
ernment. lie has also made a short
trip into the tobacco districts and
among the sugar plantations. He says
it Is ins purpose to do what he can at
any time, individually, to tiring the
present destructive state of affairs to
an end.
Senator Proctor's observations will
be thorough and he will be aide fo In
form himself fully of what Cuba needs
in the future. The present need of
the island Is peace and food for its
starving Inhabitants. In some places
in the interior an improved showing
is made because the Insurgents are
permitting plantations to begin work
that heretofore have been idle. Hut
this improvement Is local. Taken gen
erally, the agricultural prospects are
growing worse, and the era of desola
tion broadens. Moreover, the people
In the Interior are receiving none of
the food and medicines contributed by
the American people. The distribu
tion is limited to Havana and the
towns and villages close to it.

Townsend. Wash., March 7.)—That
the Rothchllds will attempt to build
u railroad to the Yukon 1* now believed
to be certain. The steamer Walcott,
which arrived here last night, landed
a party of over forty men and equip
ments for railroad building at Pyramid
Harbor near the Salmon cannery. 8.
Onderdonk, the engineer In charge of
the party and of the Construction. Im
mediately ordered the men to locate
and build bouses upon the Innds near
the cannery. Lumber was taken along
for the purpose. This move Is made
to hold the townslte. The place had
been surveyed In January and a plan
was submitted at that time to the sur
veyor general. There was also filed
notice that a grant from the United
States was wanted for a railroad ter
minal trading post and factory and for
a right of way for a railway over the
Dalton trial.
The transactions were all accom
pllsncd In the name of H. Ilratnobcr,
who Is know to be the mining expprt
and mineral purchasing agent of the
Rothchllds. and who. a few weeks ago,
left for l/indon to consult with the
Rothchllds and to urrungc with the
Canadian government for the privi
lege of crossing It* territory.
Mr. Onderdonk report* that the
grades arc several per cent, less on the
Dalton trail than on the Canadian Pa
cific and that the climatic difficulties
are no more difficult to overcome.
It la said here bv those who accom
panied Kartuober on his expedition lo

Twenty of thirty employes of the

of the objects of the expedition, have
chartered a tug and scow and will

shown. The selling movement, which
was bo prominent during the whole
of the previous week, was continued
through last Saturday and the market
to tile close, substantial declines being
recorded. On Monday a sharp reac

stocks at Liverpool and a large de

a covering movement In which big and
little shorts Joined Many traders who
had sold out their lines the weak be
fore* also came Into the market again.
The largely increased demand put a
check on the selling, end prices con
tinued to advance until late Wednes

grew worse, and finally so Identified
himself with the troubles of Estcfhazy

In an article on "Difficulties of
! Transportation In the Tropics,” In the
! Engineering Magazine, C. V. Yeatmnn
tells some remarkable stories of the
rti'cngth and endurance of pack car
riers in Columbia. "There are pro
fessional pack carriers on some roads
who make a specialty of carrying bur
dens which the sturdy and much en
during mule cannot stagger under. On
some of the roads you will see at
times what appears to he a live bo*
staggering slowly and painfully down
the mountain side ahead of you; a»
you draw nearer you may hear the
box grunt, very much as an old pack
mule does at each downward step on
n «fppn road Thpri* lu mimothlfiL' nn
canny about the whole proceeding. If
It Ih your first experience, and you
happen suddenly to overlake the box,
going down hill, for the movlng.sway
Ing and grunting mass has no visible
means of support, and no apparent x
cuse for behaving In such a manner.
Perhaps you may read on its back,
"Mason & Hamlin Organ Company,'"
or some similar legend, but that in no
help In solving the perambulating mys
tery, for whoever beard of a boxod-upi
irgan wandering alone down a -1
mountain path, and grunting a:; it
reeled along? Very likely the n el is
:oo narrow for your mule to pa •; youi
’ellow traveler, so you are obliged to
follow In its wake. Hut at last you
ire able to move ahead, and you find
hat the organ is In no way to blame:
for moving, for It has a man under
t. Short, and stumpy he may be, but
be muscles on him remind you of the
pictures of old Atlas holding the world
in his brawny shoulders. It; one
land he carries a long, stout cane,with
which he steadies himself on tin* slip
pery clay, and when he wishes to rest,,
le hacks up the hank on the side i.f
ho road, settles the lower end of It's
oad against the higher ground and
props up the upper end with hit stick;
hen he is free to slip the plaited mu
ftiey fiber bands off his shoulder* and
orehead, and step out from under his
turden.
