SPANISH SMACKS SEIZED.
Charged with n Violation of the
Customs LAWS.

CUSTOMS
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-According to
a correspondent of the Herald in Pun
ia Gorda, Fla, the United States rev.
enue cutter McLane, Capt. Reynolds,
has arrived there with seven Spanish
fishing smacks that were seized for
violation Of the navigation laws. The
smacks have been turned over to the
custody Of the customs authorities. The
officers of the cutter report that While
cruising along the west coast In the
vicinity of Charlotte harbor they dis
covered the vessels fishing IN Amerl-
can waters. On the approach of the
cutter the Spaniards made an effort to
escape, but were apprehended, an Off
Ger placed aboard and under the es-
cort of the McLane were brought into
port. The vessels are owned in Ha-
vana and were fishing for that market.
They have neither registers nor foreign
clearance, but are merely provided
with permit from Spanish authorities
authorizing them to fish in the high
seas.
Owing to the scarcity of fish on the
Cuban coast the shallow waters of
Florida bay, with an almost ineXhauS-
tible supply, offer special inducements
to those vessels which assemble at all
times in the vicinity Of Dry Tortugas
and along the entire west coast or Flor
ida. Complaints nave frequently peeu
lodged against them, charging them
with smuggling liquors and landing
refugees from Cuba, thus menacing the
health of the entire gulf coast by the
Introduction of yellow fever and small
pox The seizure of the seven smacks,
it is said, is for the failure of their
masters to report arrival at the custom
house The masters claim that their
arrival was not voluntary, but that they

cause of bad weather.
In view of the fact that several suits
against Capt Wiley, late commander
of the McLane, are now pending in
the United States district court because
| of seizures made of Spanish fishing
vessels in this district under similar
conditions, the outcome of the present
case is awaited with interest. The

miles away, and glad enough we were
to get such royal fare. Bear meat is
very much like roast pork and quite
a dainty dish when properly prepared.
We talked all day, with the wooden
blocks heaped up on the blazing hearth
and the rough log walls of our house
rejecting cheerily the light from the
flames that danced and sparkled
around the chimney corner. Outside
it was very very cold world. Christ
mas weather in the Klondike is not
very comforting. The wind howled
around our log house, and the snow
fell steadily, piling around our sturdy
little habitation white covering that
effectually kept any draughts from
finding their way in between the inter-
stices of the walls. We wanted none
of that intrusion to chill the warmth
Of our little Christmas party, for the
thermometer outside registered so de-
grees below zero, and that is cold
weather. Inside we were as cosy and
warm as any Eastern home heated by
modern appliances could be, and In our
quiet way, many thousands Of miles
from what we called home, we all en-
joyed ourselves and were happy. I am
sure the men were grateful for some
home-like fireside to gather around on
that Christmas day in the Yukon.
The next Christmas day I passed in
the KIondike, that is to say, last
Christmas, was very different to the
previous one, and approached some

frozen river to the door where hospit-
able Mr.. Naylor awaited us. Inside all
was nlerrtment and laughter. The
members of the little half-breed colony,
about score Of children, were in such
a state of gleeful expectation that they
were ready to stand on their heads
with joy at every fresh arrival. I had
fixed the children up so as to make
their dresses look pretty, but they had
to paddle around all the evening in
their fur boots The half-breed chill
dren were all gotten up in their Sum

lightful one. But that wonderful

other eccentric contrivances that bring

were packed in bags made from mos

only material available. Then Santa

toys The little half-breeds were max

my eldest girl was inclined to be crltl-

was Santa's royal robe and IN neu OF

the East. We actually got up party
at the post, and had Christmas tree
and games and a real oid-fashioned
time. No one who has seen us on
this occasion could have denied that
the Klondille region had advanced to
the height of civilization. 1t all came
about through the efforts of the Rev.
James Naylor, an Episcopal minister
who had buried himself in the Klon-
dixie and devoted his life to work
among the half-breeds there. He had
gathered at the post numerous con-
tingent of little half-breed children,
who had been Christianized and civiliz-
ed and made permanent attaches Of
the station. Having taught them the
meaning of Christmas, Mr.. Naylor de-
cided to show them that 1t was a time
to be glad and not sorry, by giving a.
party in which Santa Claus was to
make his initial bow to a mixed audi
ence Of whites and haIf-breeds and go
through his customary performance Of
distributing toys and other gifts. But
where should we get toys in that re-
gion, where every one was only too
thankful to procure sufficient to eat
and wood enough to cook II when pro-
cured. We secured our toys by a great
stroke Of luck, but before telling YOU
about that I want to mention that our
three little children had not been de-
prived Of their presents from old
Santa. We couldn't give them much,
but something had to be done, and so
the three little stockings were hung up
on the rough log mantel the night be-
fore Christmas, and Santa Claus didn't
overlook our little woodruff house.
When the children awoke in the morn
ing they had an abundant supply of
presents and candy, procured in the
same way that Mr.. Naylor got his
presents for the little half breeds par
ty.
The good angel was man named
Wilson, who had recently arrived In
the Klondike. Whatever put it into
the dear mans head to stock his packs
full of children's toys and candy can't
think, but he was real blessing to us,
and it paid him well. Every white
mother in Alaska was willing to pay its
weight in gold for any pitiful looking
little toy that bore the trademark of
a city store. Mr.. Wilson sold his toys
and candy at his own prices, and so
Santa Claus managed to keep his con-
tract with the little folk in the Klon-
dixie for one Christmas at least.
Well Christmas day 1896 came
around at last, and we got ready to
drive over to the Missouri, where the
great party was to be given. Their

frost bites for any nose that showed
itself above the fur. We had about
three quarters of a mile to drive from

this distance being over river bridged

weight Of locomotive and train of
cars.

ka. there are none that 1 cherish more
fondIy than my two Christmases in
the KIordike. The absence OF those
things that we have been accustomed
to. but which we cannot have, makes
us value more highly the possessions
that are at hand. If an Eastern WO-
man, wife and mother, wishes to learn
how to appreciate little Of the bless
ings Of this life and to cease pining
for those things which are beyond her
reach, then let her make a trip to the
Yukon and spend a Christmas among
the miners Of that northern region. It
will not be the same thing quite, how

M. Alexandra Guilmant, the French
master Of the organ, who Is expected
to open the new organ at Westminster
church, Minneapolis, gave a recital
Tuesday evening at Mendelssohn Glee
club hall, before an audience dimin-
ished by bad weather, but enthusiastic.
The programme was as follows: Toe
cata and fugue in d minor, Bach;
In Paradisum," Dubois; fugue in c.,
Buxtehude; adagio in B minor, Widor;
sonata in c minor, Guilmant; two cho-
rails by Bach, pastoral by Cesar
Franck, improvisation on given
theme, and finale in D major, Lem
mems.
M. Guilmant is a virtuoso of the
pedals, as well as the manuals, and he
gave a fine exhibition, in which, how
ever, technical achievements were not
unduly magnifed. His own sonata
he played notably we'll, and the Bach
number was superbly done. The i'm
provisation on theme furnished by
Samuel P. Warren was a delight to
his hearers from it's suavity as well
as ingenuity of treatment.
