THEY NEED FOOD.
Again Story Of Hardships at Dawson Told by
Returning Miners.

Skaguay, Alaska. Dec. 1T.-Via Seat
tie. WASH Dec. 26.--John Lindsay of
Olympia. Wash. who has just arrived
from Dawson City, says there will
surely be starvation there this winter
He examined into the food situation
thoroughly he says and after satisfying
himself that there would be starvation
he sold his outfit and in company with
Frank Ballaine of Olympia, Tom
Storey of Victoria. and Bob Glynn of
Seattle. started on foot. each man
drawing on a sledge about 100 pounds
of provisions.
Lindsey said the Dawson people be-
lieve that there is no great amount of
food at Fort Yukon as has been alleged.
The river rose sufficiently and re-
manned open long enough to enable
food supply to have been brought from
Fort Yukon had there been any there.
The people of Dawson. believing that
there was not ample food supplies at
Fort Yukon refused to go there. Not
more than 300 or 400 people took adj
vantage Of the Transportation Cos. Of
nothing.
Lindsay says the output of the mines
will be greatly curtailed. this winter.
because of the scarcity of food and
light. Coal oil sold for $45 gallon
and candles $3.50 a box of 100. Even If
men were able to work their claims
they cannot get light to do 50.
Thes statements are borne out by all
returning miners. Few Of them, how
ever, take a gloomy view of the sit
uation as does Mr.. Lindsay.
Lindsay says 200 or more miners are
prospecting at the mouth of the Stew
art river. but nothing is known as yet
what success they achieved.

Stewart river, and 40 miles from Daw-
son. is promising seam and is being
developed this winter.
The Yukon river between Dawson
and Fort Pelly froze completely over
on Nov. IS. The river is piled full OF
great ridges of ice and a road will have
to be cut through before dog or horse
teams can operate upon it. The out
look for taking supplies down to Dawson
in the immediate future is not good.
Inspector of Mines McGregor left
here. week ago, with a number of
dog and horse teams to make an at
tempt to reach Dawson with 20 tons oc
provisions. but nothing has since been
heard of him.

NO LITTLE SURPRISE
At Washington Over Madrid Criticisms Of Min
lister Woodiord's Note.

Washington, Dec. 27.--The officials
here are somewhat surprised at the ex-
hibition Of feeling at Madrid over the
latest note OF Minister Woodford, de-
livered to the Spanish foreign office
the day before Christmas
While the note itself will not be made
public at present, 1t is said that there
is no reason whatever why 1t should be
withheld. save the fact that the pre-
ceding steps in the negotiations have
not yet seen light In the newspapers.
and it is desirable when publication
is made to preserve the complete chain
of events in natural order.
The last note presented by Minister
WoodfOrd's was in answer to the Span
ish note called forth by Mr. Woodford s
very first note after his arrival at Mad
rid. In the initial note, the United
States minister pointed out the interest
of his country in an early termination
OF the political struggle in Cuba and
asked when such conclusion could be
expected. The Spanish government in
it's reply acknowledged our interest in
the matter, but after stating what 1t
intended to do to amelioriate conditions
in Cuba, that the United States could
best exercise it's good offices by stop
ping filibustering.
To this Mr.. WOodford responded with
his note Of last week. The most forci-
BILE statement in the note is based upon
the facts collected and published re-
Gently by the United States treasury
department exhibiting the great ex-
pense to which the United States had
been put by reason OF its effort to
patrol an enormous coast line in the
pursuit Of a few filibusters. and the re-
markable success of the government in
stopping these expeditions as con-
trasted with the feeble efforts of the
Spanish authorities to maintain a pa
troll around the island of Cuba.
All of these facts were included in
Mr.. Woodford's note and while he put
them in his own language in presenting
them tn the Spanish foreign office. 1t
Is said that the statements concern
only events that have already been
touched upon.
