ALGER's PET PLAN.
Steam Snow Locomotives to Open Up
Communication.

Washington, Dec 13.-The plan of US
ing steam snow locomotives to open
and main1ain communication between
the outside world and the Klondike
country has not been abandoned by any
means. Secretary Alger was in consul
tation today with several representa-
tiVes of a company which has already
made ten of these unique locomotives,
and the secretary, who is intensely So
licitous to extend aid to the miners
who are supposed to be suffering from
lack of food, authorized them TO pro-
coed to ship the machines to Alaska
and make the effort to get through to
the interior. The plan is to use either
the Chilkoot pass and the Dalton trail,
or White pass, with the preference to
the former route.
The men who We're at the war de-
partment today assured Secretary AL
ger that they could take the locomo-
tives up the hills OF either of these
passes, with the possibility of reauir-
ing the assistance of cable power in
one place about half a mile long. Once
over that place, near the head of Chill
koot pass, there would be no difficulty,
they said, in making good time across
country over the snow to Fort Selkirk,
and thence to Dawson.

CUBAN PROCLAMATION.
Gen. Maxine Gomez to the Army of
Liberation.

New York, Dec. 13.-T. Estrada Palma,
representative of the Cuban provisional
government, has received from General
Maxine Gomez a copy of a proclama-
ton he has recently issued rejecting
autonomy. The document. which is adj
dressed to the army of liberation, reads:
Patriotic Soldiers who are Fighting for
the Emancipation of the Cuban People:
General Blanco, the substitute for the
bloodthirsty Weyler, who despises and
threatens us, comes to establish new fea-
lures in this war He says so in his
proclamation to the country and to the
army, but we do not desire to make any
changes, and the war will be carried on
by us Just the same as we commenced it,
since all my circulars are in accordance
with civilized warfare. Everything that
helps the enemy must he destroyed and
everything that seems to harass him must
be accomplished. This is our right.
"Our purposes have been well defined
and sufficiently proclaimed to the World
We aim at the independence of our coun-
try. Cuba for the Cubans; America for
the Americans.
ITO attain these high and honorable re-
suits we rely on our pledged honor the
possession of the island and the lapse of
time. Resources to carry on the struggle
will spring forth from our resistance. The
hopes of Spain to subdue rs are already
blasted. General Blanco represents her
last and final resort"

THE TROOPERS.

We clattered into the village street, and
up to the Rose and Crown,
And we roared a toast to the Tory host
ar as we tossed his liquor down:
Long life to General Washington He's
a gentleman, we trow.
But death to a thing like a tyrant king
and his b. vassal my great Lord
Then we doffed the hat as down we sat.
and babe him fatten the board,
And when he whimpered and wheezed
and whined we gave a clank of the
sword;
By his own wide hearth twas a matter
for mirth TO see him bend and cow,
This bringing thing to a tyrant kind and
his vassal, my great Lord Howe.
We had ridden fast, we had ridden far.
and under the stars had slept;
Oct of the night for the foray fight we
into the dawn had crept;
Long and late we had laughed at fate
and had hungered oft and now
Twas a goodly thing to feast like king,
and his vassal, my great Lord Howe
We had kissed our mothers and kissed
our wives and kissed our sweet
hearts true;
AS a grain of sand we had held our lives
in the work we had to do;
We were REBELS" all, proud name. God
wot! because we would not bow
Our heads to a thing like tyrant kind
and his vassal, my great Lord Howe
ITO saddle, ladsr' was the word we
heard leap blithe from the captain
tongue,
SO we raised a rouse for the Tory house
as out of the door we flung:

a gentleman, we trowl
But death to a thing like a tyrant king,
and his vassal. my great Lord

MORE TROUBLE FOR HAYTI.
Italy Will Push Her Claims With
WarShips.

New York. Dec. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Port au Prince says:
More trouble of a kind similar to the
recent Lueders affair threatens Hayti and
Port az Prince may have to face an
other menace of bombardment.
Italy has long had claims against Hayti,
and these it is alleged, have never been
settled. One claim, which has been pend
ing since 1S93 was the case of the mer-
chant at Port de Paix, whose vessel and
cargo. worth $4,000, were. it is alleged,
Illegally seized and sold by the Haytien
government. The other was that of an
Italian fisherman. who was assassinated
here last october, the man who was ac-
cused of committing the crime not hav-
ing been brought to justice yet.
Italy. it is reported, intends to push the
settlement of these claims at once, and
rumors have reached here that Italian
warsllips are being sent here to back up
the demands.

others have elected to .aemain with the
enemy.
1t is reported that Juan Delgado, the
commissioners who were sent to him with
peace propositions.
A dispatch recently received here from
Madrid says that the autonomic cabinet

party, and, it is added. that the reform
list deputy, Amblard, who is now N Ma

offer to Manuel Rafael Angulo, a member
OF the Cuban revolutionary junta, port
folio in the new autonomic cabinet, in or
der to induce him to return to Cuba.

Two affidavits we're handed to the
managers regarding the much-dis-
cussed measurement of the bicycle
track. 1t was found short 27.6 feet to
the mile.
Ashinger, the builder of the track,
gave out a statement tonight that the
track was short on account of the de-
sire of the managers to secure more
accommodations at the entrance of the
Madison avenue foyer. To do this he
says, the track was cut away some and
the corners were altered slightly. But
even at this, he claimed to have meas
ured the track with pole and tape af
ter the alterations, and was of the
opinion that it was the right length.

Mr.. DAILY has expended a quarter of

years trying to get good horse. His
costly eastern stable has not had any
success since the time of the all-con-

is reason to believe that he has en-
gagged Lakeland as a trainer and will
