Cubans Holding Their Own.
NEW YORK , March 7 Spanish au
thority in Cuba Is strengthened a lit
tle against attacks from within by the
presence of war ships , says the Hava
na correspondent of the Tribune. They
give Captain General Blanco a means
of repressing internal disorder that
has heretofore been lacking to the
government. The volunteers and the
populace , who have been rejoicing
over the coming of the ships because
ot 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.
tion.But
But , while Blanco is measurably re
assured against attacks from his ow . n
people , no progress is made in pro
ven ) ing 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 Spanish army continue to ar
rive from Spain , their coming seems
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 making progress. Govin and Dolz
dominate the cabinet , for it is known
they represent the Sagasta 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 of
autonomy , but they do not openly re
pudiate it. The censorship is too strict
to allow much expression on their
part. What the intransigentes thinker
or what they might do is of little con
sequence so long as the insurgents are
not entertaining the propositions
which the autonomist cabinet is will
ing to make on behalf of the Sagasta
ministry. Gomez is in Santa Clara
province , nearer communication with
the outside world than he has been
for months. His answer , which will
be a rejection of every proposition not
based on absolute independence , may
be received at any time. After that
nothing remains for Spain except the
mediation of the United States or , if
not mediation , intervention.
Senator Proctor , who has been look
ing into the situation , finds a condi
tion ripe for mediation , but how 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 be 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 Blanco and the gov
ernment. He has also made a short
trip into the tobacco districts and
among the sugar plantations. He says
it is his purpose to do what he can at
any lime , individually , to bring the
present destructive state of affairs to
an end.
Senator Proctor's observations will
be thorough and he will be able to in
form himself fully of what Cuba needs
in the future. The present need of
the island is neace 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. But
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.
Bettor Howard for Murderers.
WASHINGTON , March 7. Yester
day's cabinet meeting occupied abou
three hours , and at its conclusion i
was announced that nothing of an im
portant nature had occurred. No in
formation of any character , it was
stated , had been received either fron
General Lee or the court of inquiry
nor had any intimation reached th <
government as to the character of th <
information so far. obtained by th <
court , or as to when the court woulc
couclude its investigation and mak <
its report.
An hour more of the time of the ses
sion was occupied in the reading of i
long report from the special agent o
the Postoffice department on the kill
ing of Baker , the colored postmaster
at Lake City , S. C. In view of th (
peculiar circumstances connected witl
the murder , and the enormity of th <
crime , it was decided to increase th <
government's reward to $1,500 in eacl
case. Every effort will be made by thf
federal authorities to brins the guilt ]
parties to justice.
Oppose Tree Homestead Amendment.
MADRID , March 7. The Epoca , the
sobersided conservative paper says :
"We believe that just in the same
manner as the Washington governmen
acted In the case of Senor de Lome ,
which was a case much less grave , so
should Senor Gullon decide the case
of General Lee. The relations of that
official with the insurrection in the
island are such that his maintenance
at Havana is prejudicial to the good
relations of Spain and the United
States. "
Australians Heading for Klomdiko.
VICTORIA , B. C , March 7. The
steamer Aorangi has arrived here
with nearly 200 men from New Zeal
and and Australia , bound for the
Klondike. The Aorangi made a record
voyage from Honolulu , making the
trip from that port to Capt Flattery in
six and a half days. It was met by a
squad of detectives looking for five
embezzlers , three men and two women ,
who left Sydney with $15,000 in cash.
Thsy had left the steamer at Hone

AN ALASKA RAILROAD.
• * _
SjTho'ICotliHelilldH Will Build Ofie to tin
* . Klondike.
JUNEAU , Alaska , March 1. ( via Port
tTownBend , Wash. , March 7. ) That
the Rothchilds will attempt to build
e railroad to the Yukon is 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. S ,
Onderdonk , the engineer in charge ol
the party and of the construction , im
mediately ordered the men to locate
and build houses upon the lands neai
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 filet
notice that a grant from the United
States was wanted for a railroad ter
minal trading post and factory and foi
a right of way for a railway over the
Dalton trial.
The transactions were all accom-
pllsned in the name of H. Bratnober ,
who is know to be the mining experl
and mineral purchasing agent of the
Rothchilds , and who , a few weeks aw
left for London to consult with the
Rothchilds and to arrange with * the
Canaaian government for the privi
lege of crossing its territory.
Mr. Onderdonk reports that the
grades are 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 is said here by those who accom
panied Bartnober on his expedition tc
the interior that he thinks that in sev
eral places where excavations for rail
roads are necessary enough low grade
ore will be loosened to finance manj
miles of construction.
Twenty of thirty employes of the
Trepriwell company , who have learned
of thp objects of the expedition , have
chartered a tug and scow and will
leave as soon as they can get theii
stuff loaded for Pyramid harbor tc
squat on town lots , that being a profit
able form of investment in Alaska al
present.
THE WHEAT MARKET.
Net Gains Shown In Itotli May and Jul ;
Options.
CHICAGO , Mar"h 7 The wheat
market the past week shows consider
able irregularity and a wide range of
prices has resulted. Net gains of VA
cents in May and a cent in July are
shown. The selling movement , which
was so prominent during the whole
of the previous week , was continued
through last Saturday and the markej
to the close , substantial declines being
recorded. On Monday a sharp reac
tion occurred. Higher prices and low
stocks at Liverpool and a large de
crease in the visible supply started
a covering movement in which big and
little shorts joined. Many traders whe
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 , and prices con
tinued to advance until late Wednes
day , when shorts in July apnarently
sot filled up and that oDtion declined.
Mav , however , remained strong , being
well supported by Leiter and other
prominent bull interests and final
figures were of the highest closing
ficrures of the season. The market ex
hibited considerable weakness the
latter part of the week , it being es
pecially marked on Friday.
A Tension Swindler.
TOPEKA , Kan. , March 7. George
Cralle a notorious and clever pensior
swindler , has been brought here foi
trial , after being arrested at Helter
by a government inspector. Cralle
is wanted , it is said , in Iowa , Mis
souri. Nebraska and other states. He
has sailed under numerous aliases ,
chief among them being those of E
S. Wright , J. B. Allen and G. W
Brown.
Cralle represented himself to be i
pension examiner. He would hunl
up ignorant pensioners and tell then
he had been sent west to examine
their cases , among others. He would
allege that the person's pension was
in bad shape and was likely to be cu1
off , but that for a certain amount oi
money he would make a report which
would fix things all right in the pen
sion office. He is said to have ope
rated extensively in the states above
mentioned and has reaped a consid
erable sum. The government inspectors
specters have been on his trail foi
over six months.
The pension commissioner ai
Washington has wired the authori
ties here 'that Cralle is wanted at
several places for swindling ajid ask
ing them , if they did not have a cleat
case against him. he told him until
the authorities from some other dis
trict could arrive and get him.
Cralle , so the authorities say
served two years in the penitentiarj
for playing the same game in Il
linois.
Consul Favored Foreign Itoads.
WASHINGTON , March 7. Sen
ator Wilson of Washington called the
attention of the senate department tc
a recent report of Consul Dudley at
"Vancouver , B. C , in which Canadian
ports and Canadian routes to the
Klondike were extolled at some length.
He said this had been used by the
Canadian Pacific road as an adver
tisement and was to the detriment of
American roads and American sea
ports on the coast , which were doing
a large outfitting business. The state
department has notified Consul Dud
ley that hereafter his reports must not
favor foreign interests in competition
with those of the United States.

WASHINGTON , March 7. Chair

National . 'Legislation.
WASHINGTON , March 7. It is
probable that both the bill for the re
lief of the survivors of the victims of
the Maine disaster and the senate
bill creating two additional regiments
of artillery with which to man the
coast defenses will pass the house this
week. The former bill was held up
until it could be investigated , as it was
said that the special bill for the re
lief of the survivors and the victims of
the Samoan wreck in 1888 led to some
scandal. That bill was loosely drawn
and it has been asserted some advan
tage of its provisions were taken. The
' present bill has been carefully drawn
and is now satisfactory to Mr. Can
non , chairman of the committee of ap
propriations.
Practically all opposition to the ar
tillery bill hai now disappeared in the
house. The leaders were , it is said , in
favor of delaying action on it to allay
public alarm , which might have been
intensified had it been rushed through
the house as it was through the senate.
Beyond action on these two meas
ures the house program this week , so
far as is now anticipated , is entirely
peaceful and has no reference to pos
sible foreign complications. Tomor
row -District of Columbia day , and
Friday , by special order , has been set
aside for the consideration of the Bow
man act claim bills.
The Thorp-Epps contested election
ease will occupy two , possibly three ,
days , and such time as remains will
probably consumed in the considera
tion of the postoffice appropriation bill
which is expected to be ready by Wed
nesday.
An unlooked for developement in
the Spanish situation might change
the program.
The senate will in all probability be
gin the week with the consideration
of the bill making appropriations for
the District of Columbia , and when
this is completed will take up the con
ference report on the legislative , exe
cutive and judicial appropriation bill ,
which has been agreed upon a - '
be made to the senate tomorrow.
It is considered nuite probable that
the district bill will consume two or
three days or even more. One or
more of the ouestions in this bill which
may arouse debate in the action of the
senate committee on appropriations
in striking out the item in the bill as
it came from the house limiting tele
phone charges in the district. There
will be an effort to restore this pro
vision. The census bill , the Methodist
book a ent bill and Senator Petti-
grew's bill donating : 5 per cent , of the
proceeds of the sales of public lands
to the various states in which the
lands are located will contend for
rieht of wav when there are no appro
priation bills to receive attention , and
it is as yet uncertain which of them
first will be taken up.
All of these may be antagonized by
the annexation treaty , but the plans of
the foreign relations committee with
reference to the treatv are so far to
too indefinite to permit any prediction
as to what it will do.

WASHINGTON. March 7 Senatoi
Morgan said it was his purpose to in
troduce a resolution at an early date
making a second call upon the pres
ident for the consular correspond
ence bearing upon the condition of
affairs in Cuba.
"I think , " he said , 'that the senate
and the country are entitled to know
officially what the condition there
is and that the reports of the con
suls should not be with-held for an
unusual lengith of time. I do not ,
hlowever , wish to complicate this
matter with the Maine disaster and
shall not introduce the resolution
while the court of inquiry is sitting
unless its report is unnecessarily de
layed. I have set no tme for the
presentation of the matter , but will
be guided as to the time by circum
stances as they arise. "
He said in reply to a question that
the resolution proposed by him
would be couched in terms demand ,
ing the submission of the corre
spondence.

C. S. Edwards of Chicago , who foi
a number of days past has been doing
100 miles daily on the conduit road
has broken all previous records foi
consecutive centuries. Mr. Edwards
intends to continue breaking the record
until 'he has established a record ol
his own that will stand for many
years. On the 4th he completed his
sixty-second century this year. The
best previous record was held by Jacto
Knowles , who rode sixty-one consecutive -

The Dreyfus case at Paris had a
fresh victim in an artist whose hoar !
has been literally turned by excitemenl
and who jumped out of a high window
under the delusion that Major Ester-
hazy and the police were coming tc
arrest him. Ever since the beginning
of the Zola trial this hapless individual
has made himself conspicuous by the
extreme violence with which he dis
cussed the proceeding at the assizes.
He never tired of defending Ester-
hazy. Upon one occasion ho narrowly
escaped being arrested for creating a
disturbance in the street. As Zola's
trial neared the conclusion the artist
grew Avorse. and finally so identified
himself with the troubles of Esterhazy
that he came to confuse his own iden
tity with his hero's. He thought he
was Esterhazy , and that everybody
around him was conspiring to bring
about his downfall.
E. R. Knapp of Boston. Mass. , who
arrived at Seattle from Skasway. au
thorizes the statement that the Cana
dian authorities raised the British flag
on the summit of White pass on Sat
urday. Februarv 26. This has hereto
fore been considered American terri
tory. Mr. Knapp's authority for the
statement is the foreman of the Hura-
ber Transportation company. He re
ported the affair to Mr. Knapp , who
is connected with the company , just
before the latter left Skagway. In ref
erence to the report that martial law
had been proclaimed at Ska sway , Mr.
Knapp said that when he left no such
action had been taken , neither was it
anticipated. Mr. Knapp also said that
the reports of deaths at Taiva. Skag
way and on the trails , had been very-
much exaggerated. He had made a
personal examination and ascertained
that s-ince November there had been
nineteen deaths at Skagway and thir
teen at Tailya. This is not at all
large , considering the population at
the two places.

Transportation in the Tropics , " in the- j M
Engineering Magazine , C. P. Yeatman. , fl
tells some remarkable stories of the : H
strength and endurance of pack car- > t H
riers in Columbia. "There are pro- V H
fessional pack carriers on some roads ( H
who make a specialty of carrying burdens - \ . • H
dens which the sturdy and much enduring - , H
during mule cannot stagger under. On. . , ' H
some of the roads you will see at H
times what appears to be a live bo.c M
staggering slowly and painfully dowa f j H
the mountain side ahead of you ; as. M
you draw nearer you may hear the- I M
box grunt , very much as an old pack ; M
mule does at each downward step on i fl
a steep road. There is something un- j H
oanny about the whole proceeding. If. M
it is your first experience , and you' , fl
happen suddenly to overtake the box , H
going down hill , for the nioving , s"\vay- H
Ing and grunting mass has no visible / ' M
means of support , and no apparent. x- M
cuse for behaving in such a manner. M

organ wandering alone down a steep |
mountain path , and grunting as ic M
teeled along ? Very likely the road is ; M
too narrow for your mule to pass your M
fellow traveler , so you are obliged to * H
follow in its wake. But at last you > M
are able to move ahead , and you find' M
: hat the organ is in no way to blame- M
for moving , for it has a man under M
• t. Short and stumpy he may be , but M
: he muscles on him remind you of the- |
pictures of old Atlas holding the woild M
m his brawny shoulders. In one- M
aand he carries a long , stout cane.witlt M
which he steadies himself on the slip- H
aery clay , and when he Avishes to rest , . |
le backs up the bank on the side ur M
he road , settles the lower end of his ; . |
oad against the higher ground and : < - j H
props up the upper end Avith his stick ; |
