escape the deputies and got among some
of the miners In the company houses and
did considerable m'sslonary ' work. It was
decided to march again tomoirow , but It Is
doubtful If they will have any better euc-

LONDON , Aug. 19. Calderon Carlisle of
Washington , coinsellor of the. Spanish lega
tion In the United Statca , arrived here to
day from Spain In the course of an Inter
view Mr. Carlisle tald he went to Spain
to pay a visit to relatives , but while there
ho had an audience with the queen regent
and he illEciifticd with the late Senor Canovau
del Castillo , the premier , nnd other h'gh '
officials of the Spanish government , the vari
ous aspects of the Cuban question , explain
ing to Senor Canovas the details of some
of the principal filibustering expeditions
from the United States to Cuba and giving
hh views as to the legal aspects of the
filibustering claims which ho had investi
gated since the war broke out ! ni Cuba.
Spain , he said , Intended to preen strongly
its claims to compensation for filibustering
and these claims would overbalance the
American claims for damages to the property
of citizens of the- United States in the
Island Mr. Carlisle believes the effect of
the atGasslnatlon of Canovas will be to rnltc
more closely the \arlous sections of the1
conservattve party In Spain.
Ho said : "I can speak , not only for the
court circles but also for the people ol
three provinces where the Carllsts are re
puted to be the strongest , and I can say
that I saw no signs of preparations for a
Carllbt rising nor anything to corroborate
report's circulated In the United States that
the Spanish people are so d'nsatlslled with
the government as to be easily Incited tc
overthrow It. "

Cablegram - Special Telegram. ) Richard
Crokcr leaves Carlsbad on Friday for OUejid ,
going thence to Folkstone , the famous Hn-
gllsh channel watering place. Ho sails for
America August 31 by the steamship New

not bo In better condition to carry on the
first Qreatei New York campaign. I wae
with him five hours today and am greatly Im
pressed by his absolute confidence In Tam
many's success In the autumn.
"If any newspaper made a house to hotnc
canvass tomorrow. " hald he , "it would find
two-thirds of the voters of Greater New York
In favor of Tammany Hall and good govern
ment. "
When Croker reaches London In about a
week a conference between him and one ot
two Important Tammany mon Is probable , al
though stories of a big and Important meetIng -
Ing In the Pompadour parlors of Hotel Cecil
are denied. As a matter of fact , Croker hai
paid very llttlo attention to politics since he
has been In Carlsbad , and wilt pay very little
attention to It until he reached New York ,
Then many things may bo expected to drop
It lit reasonably certain that Croker will do-
clde whether to run for mayoi within a week
Ho Ins not dccUed yet , but leans toward ac
ceding to the wl h of his friends.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 19 The Canadian
government and the United State * have
agreed upon co-operation In augmenting the
postal facilities for the Klondike legion ami
the result will shortly be evidenced In a
substantial doubling of the mall service from
the coast Into the district. The rcpl > of Can
ada to Acting Postmaster General Shallcn-
berger's proposition to establish an exchange
of malls at Circle City and Daw son City
reached here today. It la a counter prop
osition made bv Canada , the latter agreeing
to perform the service from Daw son City
down to Djea by means of a continct of Its
own , with reimbursement to bo made by this
government for Ho shate ot the service. This
differs from this counlrj's proposition In that
under the latter the United States was to
let the contract and look to Canada for re
imbursement for the latter's share. The
counter scheme , however , Is satisfactory to
the Poatolllco depirtment. Canada's service
provides for exchanges ot malls at Fort
3uddy and two other stations between
Dawoon and Djea The exact route is not
outlined , but , In all probability It will strike
off directly southward from Daw son City ,
which Is on the British side of the line , down
to Dyca. At present the dUtrlet gets the
iiencllt of malls once a month. The new1 ar
rangement will furnish on addition il ten Ice ,
giving seml-monthlv malls , the trips piou-
ably being sandwiched between the dates
ilcslgnated In the present contract ot the
I'nlted States.
Canada's pioposltlon for cairvlng the
mallB ono round trip a month between Dawson -
son City and Djea was formallv accepted
this afternoon by Acting Postmaster Gen
eral Shallenbargcr and the Canadian gov
ernment notified of the action In this com
munication this government Is stated to be-
in readiness to assume Us share of the re
sponsibility and Canada Is urged to put the
f-ervlco Into operation at the earliest possi
ble moment. Djea , which Is 100 miles
above Junrau on the Lynn canal , and Dawson -
son Cltj , will be declared International pos
tal exchange olllces. The LJritUh malls will
bo carried by the United States from Vic
toria , B. C. , to Dyea The service will
bring nbout the ci cation of n postofllco at
Dawson City , and also at Fort Cuddy , Forty
Mlle and probably at other points , although
these mentioned aie bejond Daw ton. The
ecrvico will be under the Immediate super
vision of Canadian mounted police , the car
riers will bo equipped with doga and
slcdgca and have Indian drivers. The first
contract , at least , will bo for one > ear.
Wherever the llrltlsh malls can he expedi
ted by carrying them over the present Circle
City route , between the datc.s ot the new
service , this will bo done.

authorizing Governor Scofleld to address a
proclamation to commercial organisations
and manufacturers thioughout the state , urg

Walter W. Pollock , the commercial agent foi

Impossible 16 cecuro an appropriation fron
the state , owing to n strong objection on the
part of legislators to the iutioductlon of new
business and the tact that a thrce-fonrtliE
vote of both houses would be necessary tc
permit the Introduction of a bill foi an
appropriation. It was , therefore , decided tc
take advantage of the friendly disposition ol
the governor and legislators toward the ex
position and the resolution passed without c
dissenting vote. The governor's proclamatlor
will suggest the oiganlzation of an associa

WASHINGTON. Aug. 19. Secretary Slier-
man luia submitted to tlio Japanese govcrn-
mecat an answer to Japan's last note rclat-
IIIK to the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States. The arswer was delivered to
Mr Hoahl. tlio Japancso minister , last Sat-
ur.lij. . It Is In reply to Japan's note of
July 10. which up to that time hail not been
acknowledged.
-Mr Sherman a answer Is marked by Itn
friendly rx-piertilons toward Japan , which
give hpcclal satisfaction In view of the some
what strained relation * resulting fiom the
previous correspondence Two features are
brought out by the answer It leltcratcs the
| position heretofore taken by the secretary
! of state as to the right and propriety ot
nncxtiiK Hawaii to ( ho United States. With
his , howevci , Is coupled au.assuranco that
he Interests of Japrci In Hawaii would bo
'ully safeguarded. It also exprcbies sat'a- '
actlon at the plan of arbitration beUmn
Japan and Hawaii on the question of Jupa-
leao Immigration to Hawaii.
The answer Is hugely an elaboration of
Mr. Sherman's tanner lettei , and the policies
expressed In no way differ from those previ
ously laid down bj him.
Minister Ho hl Ins tabled the substance
of the answer to the Toklo government ami
he full text of the answer hat been for
warded It will not icach Japan until Scp-
embci 7 , and no action may be taken until
he teM Is before the Japanese foielgn otllce.
Pho Japanese legation Is rotli ent over the dls-
) itih. ilthough there li no effort to conceal
the hUisfuctloti felt over the friendly spirit
lisplnycd throughout Mr Sheinifln'B answer.
The attention of the Toklo government ban
ictu particularly directed toward these ox-
ireitlonh of good will.
