MADRID , Dee. 26. Today Iniarcal ! urges ,
that In view of the character of the reply of
United Statei Minister Woxlford to the note
of the Spanish government In answer to the
first communication of the American govern
ment through him , U Is neccstary to Increase
tbo Spanish fleet as against Kio eventuality
of a conflict with the United SMten.
KI Ilcraldo says : "Tho encrrnchment of
the United States upon the Internal policies
of Spain have become Intolerable nnd must
ho resisted energetically. The situation Is
dlfllciilt , but , at 'whatever coat , the govern
ment might to put on end to a shameful
stale of affairs for the sake of the dignity
ot Spain. "
LONDON' , Dec. 27. The -Mndrld corre
spondent of the Standard enys :
"General Woodtord's note dwells at length
upon the Spanish complaint against Illlbus-
tcrlnft anil other moral and material assist
ance given In the United Stateo to the In
surgents , which the Washington government
ro-nfserts It has done all In Its power to
check , with the view also of satisfying the
representations made by Spanish diplomacy ,
The Madrid papers say1 the note Is so very
friendly and so laudatory of the present
homo rule principle In Cuba and Porto
Rico that there Is n general Impression
In political circles that the relations between
the governments have a decidedly reassuring
aspect.
"At , the same time papers of every shade
of opinion , Including the ministerial organs ,
censure very sharply the conduct of the
United States government and are unani
mous In eaylng that all the compliments the
United States pays the New Spanish policy
cannot make a proud nation tolerate the
preterslou df a foreign government ! to have
the right to criticise and condemn the con
duct of Spanish gcncra'.s and of the late
Spanish govcrnmcnti'ln dealing with the re-
bcl'lcn.
"They equally resent the American preten
sion to interfere In the Spanish West Ir.d'.cs ,
which Is so repeatedly claimed In the notes
ami the presidential message , and more re
cently in Secretary Sherman's advocacy of
relief for dlotroised Cubans. The press Is
most dkBatlsfled with the Woodford note
on account of the arguments used to refute
the Spinlah compla'nts against flUiustcrlag.
America , la charged with Infringing all the
rules and usages of International laws In
order to Milt tbo alms of Its encroaching
policy In the West Indies. It Is an open
secret that the note has caused surprise
nnd displeasure 1& official clrclea because the
government had hoped that President Mc-
Klnley and Secretary Sherman would refrain
from Increasing the embarrassments cf 'tho
situation In Spain In corslderatlon of the
concessions already rtadeto Cuba.
"Tho government wilt delay replying to
the note for several weeks , as the United
Statcvj took nearly two months to reply to
the Spanish note. When It does reply Scnor
Sagssta will rebut the arguments of the
note In a friendly but firm trne. The gov
crnment cannot longer risk the accusation
of not being In touch with national- feeling ,
which Is getting very weary of American In
terference. The Spaniards think the note.
gl\es them an excellent opportunity to reply
to criticism which naturally could not bis
chalMnped or noticed. "
The "Madrid " correspondent ot the Daily
Mall say ; : "General WooJfor.l's note differs
greatly from the first ons he presented , and
contains several statements that should bo
refuted. It Is Inspired , on the whole , b >
the sentiments pervading President McKln
ley's tncasage. Scnor Gullon , the minister
of foreign affairs , will reply , traversing the
points raised. " I

Dec. 26. John Lindsay of Seattle , Wash. , who
has Just arrived from Dawson , says there will
surely bo rtarvatlcn there this winter. Ho
examined Into the food situation In a thor
ough manner , ho says , and after satisfying
himself that there would bo starvatlui , he
sold his outfit and 'In company wlt-b. Prank
IMllainc of Olympla , Wash. , Tom Story ot
Victoria , D. C. , and Hob aiynn of Seattle
started out on foot , every man drawing a
sled , each of which carried about ICO pounds
of provision. Lindsay say the Dawsco pco-
plo believe there Is no great amount ot food
at Fort Yukon , as had been alleged.
The river rope sufficiently and remained
open long enough to enable food supplies to
have been brought from Fort Yukon had
there been any there- . The people of Dawson ,
believing there were not ample food supplies
at Fort Yukon , refused to go t-Vre , prefer
ring to remain In .Dawson. . No moro than
300 or 400 people took advantage of the trans
portation conipaay'B offer to take the people
to Fort Yukon free of charge.
When tbo miners at Dawscn found that no
moro provisions would reach the town by the
river route they announced that a meeting
would bo held to take steps for apportioning
the provisions ) la the town. Those who had
plenty , they said , must share with those wtio
had 'none. Captain ConstnuMne of the north
west mounted police Interfered and told the
mlrcrs that no such thing would be per
mitted. The meeting was not -held.
CANDLES COME 'Hiail. '
Lindsay siys the output of the mines wll
be greatly curtailed this winter because o
the scarcity ot food and llfvht. Coal oil paid
tor $45 a calico and catullcs are as high as
$150 for a box of 100. Even If men were able
, to work their claims they cannot gel light to
do so.
These statements are berne out by all re
turning Klondlkcrs , quite o , number of whom
have reached hero the last week. Few of
them , however , take as gloomy a view of
the situation as does Mr. Lindsay.
Dr. II. L. Bradley of Roseburg , Ore. , says
that food In scarce , but he does not think
there will be actual starvation. Neither io !

As an Instance of the scarcity of food In
Diweoa. Llndray relates the case of Dr.

VanZamHs Is an elderly man. and , being
without provisions or money , ho offered a
Eold watcn for a sack of Hour. He could

on ! : ' knows how I am to keep body and
soul together. "
PROSPECTING IN NEW FIELDS.
Lindsay says 200 or more miners are pros-
peptlng at. the mouth of Stewart river , but
nothing Is known yet what success they
have achieved.
Henderson creek , five miles bslow Stewart
river and forty miles from Dawson , Is a
promising stream and It is being developed
this winter.
The weather about Iho Stewart and Big
Salmon rivers has been bitterly cold , 70
degrees below zero being recorded at Major
Walsh's camp , twelve miles below the Big
Salmon river , on November 30. The Yukon
river between Dawson and Fort Polly froze
completely over November IS. The river
s piled full of ice in great ridges as high
as an ordinary house and a roadway will
have to bo cut through it before dog or
horse teams can operate upon it. The out
look , therefore , for taking supplies down to
Dawson in the immediate future is not
good.
Inspector of Mlnea McGrpgor left here a
week ago with a number of dog teams nnd
horses to make the attempt to roach Dawson
with about twenty tons of provisions , but
nothing has since been heard of him.

\\1VSIIINGTON , Dec. 26. The recent tragic
doith of .Mies . Leila Herbert , the daughter of
the ex-secretary of the navy , is given as the
reason for the suicide which occurred toJay
of 'MissAnnie Virginia Wells , an accom

of Mr. Lewis S. Wells , well known attorney.
The young woman shot herself through the
heart with her brother's revolver at the res
idence of her father , 1311 N street , north

'MIns ' Wells had mot Miss Herbert a number
of times aud was very much attached to her.
She herself had been confined to the house
four months by lllnnis and this , combined
with the shock caused by the death ot her
friend , brought on melancholia , which re
sulted In suicide. The deed was apparently
entirely unpremeditated , and coming 'Imme
diately after Christmas festivities In the
houaa completely proatrated her aged mother.
Miss Wclla was 34 years of ugo and very

CHICAGO , Dec. 26. Friday , which will
witness the- close of the great Loiter doll
In wheat on the Board ot Trade , bids fair
to prove a memorable day lei the trade. Na"
great excitement Is expected In the wheat
pit , but la oats a squeeze of shorts may-
occur.
"Tho wheat deal of my son has brought
to the -farmers of the United States10 ol
1C cents more for their wheat than If ho
had not gone Into U , " L. Z. Lcltor sail
today , In talking ot the great battle be
tween Joseph Loiter on the one sldo end
the elevator companies on the other. "My
son has been the benefactor of the agricul
tural .Industries of the country to that ex
tent. The ecllor Is now dictating the prlco
of lib product , not the purchaser. Chicago
makes the market prlco of wheat , not Liv
erpool. And the local Influences , which
Imvo been so long for constantly lower
prlceo , have edited to control Chicago mar >
hots. "
The first purchases of wheat by Joseph
Letter wcro made in July last at 64 ccnta.
The prlco for real wheat , such na the farmer
eellfi , has been between 99 cents and $1 foi
several days. This malice a total advance-
slnco July of about 35 cents. Leltcr , sr. ,
gives the ordinary course of the markcU
credit for between 20 cod 25 cents ot the
rteo. The remainder he attributes to th
substantial support given to prlcea by Lei-
tor , jr. , during the laet six months.
It la believed that Mr. Letter has ibeen >
turning a trick on the trade In oils whtlo
everybody was watching wheat. For weeks ,
the oats pit has been practically dcsertedi.
Last week there wen a disagreeable urt
prise to the men who had soldi 0,000,000
bushels oj oato for December de-llvery when
they learned that nocats wcro being de
livered. Then they awoke to the fact that
In all the Chicago elevators oats measured
but 950,000 bushels of the contract grades.
It was Wednesday when the discovery w a
made. The prlco of December oats was
then 20 % cents. On Friday the market
closed at 22 % cents. A cent advance In
cats Is as good as 4 or 5 cents tiwheat. .
It Is too iato to rush 5a a supply to meet
the calls which will be made for the grain ,
at the clcso of business oa Friday. Tboso
who have not delivered the grain according
to contract will be called upon to settle
at the closing pricco. The situation has all
the elements of a squeeze.
