No Doubt Regarding the Ownership OF the

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-1ncited by the
newspaper publications tending to
throw doubt upon the ownership OF the
Klondyke gold fields. some Of the high
government officials, who would nat
urally be expected to deal with the
question if it comes to practical isuse,
have been quietly looking into the mat
ter with view to preparing themselves
for any controversy that might arise.
Their views are in substance that there
can be do valid objection advanced to
the title Of Great Britain to this terri.
tory. A careful examination of all the
reliable charts and maps, made far
enough back in date to be free from
suspiclCu OF influence VI nc recent
heavy gold finds has convinced these
officers that 20 tar as the Klondyke
fields, as defined by the latest reports,
are concerned, there can be no question
but that they lie east Of the 141st me-
ridian whick defines the boundary line,
and so are within British territory by
about IS miles at least.

ULTlMATUM TO PERU.

Uncle Sam Demands the Immediate Pay
ment of the McCord Claim.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-An ultimatum
has been presented to the Peruvian gov
eminent by the administration requir-
ing the immediate payment of the Nc.
Cord claim Of $4,000. While no threat
Of coercion is made in case of refusal,
the note makes the statement that any
further delay on the part of Peru to
close the incident will be considered as
injurious to the cordial relations exist
ing between the two governments.
The Peruvian minister has cabled the
note to Lima, and is now awiting in
structions from his government. It is
expected the Peruvian government will
try to secure further consideration of
the case, but such an attempt will not
meet with success. The state depart
ment has informed Peru that her lia-
bility is unquestioned, except by her
self, and that this government will not
consent to further discussion of the
matter.

port to the surgeon general Of the Mar

inspector for the service at Havana,
dwells upon the probability of q rapid
increase Of yellow fever among. the
Spanish sailors. He says that up to q
recent date there were no cases among
the sailors of the Spanish navy. but that
lately several have appeared. He at
tributed this to the fact that some Of
the warships have gone to tho navy
yard, which is in close proximity to the
military hospital, and the Tallipied1a
wharf, which is in bad condition.
"There are," he says, "seven or eight
war vessels now in the harbor, and their
complement must aggregate 1900 men.
many Of whom, I learn, are not &C.

doubly exposed to the danger OF con.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 5.-The federal

Judge Williams, from Arkansas, held
court at Manitou, Oolo., and issued q
sweeping injunction on behalf OF the
Mutual Life Insurance company OF New
York, restraining Insurance Superin-
tendent McNall from enforcing The
state laws regulating insurance COM
panies and also enjoining Attorney Gen.
eral Boyle, or any other lawyer, on be.
half Of the state, from bringing any
civil or criminal suit against the COM
pany. It is this order that Governor
Leedy and the state administration pro-
pose to contest. J.
Governor Leedy is quoted as saying:
IF Judge Williams, or any other fed
eral Judge, seeks to restrain this state
from enforcing it's criminal laws, we
will dispute his right to do so."
