DISTRIBUTING BIBLES.
Work of the American Bible So
ciety in Foreign Lands.

NEW YORK, Dec 13.-The work of
the American Bible Society in foreign
lands, during the last year, involved
an expenditure of 1872, ,292 80 and the
circulation of 767 ,52S volumes of the
Holy Scriptures; of these more than
half, 405, 600 volumes, were distributed
in China; 10000 in Japan; 81 900 in the
Levant; 10000 in South America; 33, :
600 III Mexico and Central America;
81 900 in Siam and Laos; 40 900 in Rus
sia: 10000 in France; 1900 in Spain
and Austria; 10000 in India; besides
smaller numbers in Africa, Micronesia,
Arabia and Korea In accomplishing &
this great work the agents and CORE
spondents of the society employed 3S2
men, each working on an average more
than eight months.
1t is evident that the distribution of
the Bible is considered of prime i'm
portance in all foreign missionary op-
erations, and that the cooperation Of
the American Bible Society with the
Missionary Boards entities it to the
most cordial recognition. Hence. the
society will issue an appeal to pastors
and others that in the special meet
ings for prayer which are to be held
upon the Importance of extending the
circulation of the Scriptures among all
nations. and. especially, in those parts
of the world where the Bible is an un-

GEN. GOMEZ CLOSELY PUSHED.
SAID HE HAS SOUGHT REFUGE
IN THE MOUNTAINS.
Reported That General Sangui1ly,
the Cuban Leader, Has Tender
ed His Services to BIanco.

HAVANA, Dec. BIT is officially
announced that the Spanish forces, un-
der the command of General Pando, in
the Province Of Puerto Principe, have
been pushing the insurgent leader, Gen.
eral Maxine Gomez, SO closely that he
was obliged. with about 200 men of his
escort, to seek refuge in the woods and
mountains of Los DelicFas
The commissioners sent by General
Pando to different parts of the island
with instructions to negotiate with the
insurgents for their acceptance of the
autonomous feature Of Government
proposed by Spain have not returned
in a single case, which seems to con-
firm the report that some of them have
been hanged by the insurgents, and
others have elected to remain with the
enemy.
1t is reported that Juan Delgado, the
insurgent leader, has hanged the two
commissioners who were sent to him
with peace propositions.
dispatch recently received here
from Madrid says that the autonomy
bill Of Cuba will not be formed until
the Reformists and Autonomists unite
in one party, and it added that the Re-
formist deputy, Amblard, who is now
ir Madrid, will, on his arrival in New
York, offer to Manuel Rafael Agnuelo,
a member of the Cuban revolutionary
army, a portfolio in the new autonomic
Cabinet, in order to induce him to re-
turn to Cuba.
1t is announced, semi-officially, that
General Sanguilly, the fnsurgent leader,
has written to Marshal Blanco tender
ing him his services Internationally.
Some of the richest Spaniards of
Cuba have had further meetings here,
at Cienfuegos and Sagua, to consider
the advisability Of sending a petition to
President Mckinley asking for the es-
tablishment of United States protec-
torate over Cuba, if within six months
the Governments plan for the pacifica-
ton of the island gives no results.
Later advices from Madrid seem to
show that Deputy Amblard will be en-
trusted with the task of making new
proposals to the Cuban junta when he
reaches New York. He is said to have
informed the Spanish Ministers that
he counted upon the adherence of Gen
eral Sanguilly to the new order of
things. and if it is true that the latter
has offered his services to the Captain
General the influence of Amblard at
Madrid viii be greatly increased.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Grau Opera Company opened It's
weeks engagement at the Metropolitan
Theater last night to a fair and thor
oughly well pleased audience in the
comic opera. Mascot" The company
is large, balanced, has good
chorus and competent leaders. The
tenor. Mr.. Pache, made a very good
impression He has a robust voice,
resonant. clear and musical, and he Is
a clever actor. Miss Mortimer, meZzo
soprano, is Of very pleasing presence,
and is inspired by true comedy spirit.
Her voice, somewhat marred by a cold,
is of good quality, hmpid and eX-
pressive, and is eXcellently managed.
Miss Meyers. the contralto, is a charm
ing figure; hasnot a powerful, buta ser
Viceable voice of even excellence. Miss
Darlington, soprano had no opportuni-
ty to prove the quality of capacity of
her voice. Mr. Wallace, the basso, was
but little heard, but his voice in the
few notes he had to sing proved to be
vigorous. rotund and satisfactory. Mr..
Fox. baritone, had but a few measures
in the opera. but We should say that he
had vocal ability capable of good work.
The chorus is large, strong and well
trained; in women's voices it is espe-
cially good and numerically strong. The
three comedians, Fetch, Clayton and
Lett. are inimitable. We have had no
better here in opera. Their witty inter-
polations were sharp and snappy, and
created no end of merriment. Two
young women, Misses Ward and Moller,
in the festival scene gave a charming
Spanish dance full Of spirit and grace.
The boy tenor, Master Willie Kirst,
was heard from the gallery in the
refrain of an interpolated song by Miss
Meyers He is a. marvel. a clearer,

RELIEF FOR KLONDIKERS.
SECRETARY ALGER REPLIES
TO SENATE RESOLUTION.
Calling for Information Relative
to the Lack Of Food Supplies
on the Yukon River.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-In answer
to a Senate resolution calling tor such
information as the War department
possesses relative to the lack or food
supplies on the Yukon River, Secreta-
ry Alger to-day submitted letter re-
citing his action in sending Captain
Ray Of the Eighth Infantry TO that
country to investigate the cond1tlon,
and incIosing copies of that officers re-
port giving features which have al
ready been published. Secretary Ager
says:
From these reports it Will be seen
that as early as 1st Of Septem-
ber, while en- route up the Yukon, Cap
tain Ray was in receipt of information
to the effect that unless some relief was
sent to the district starvation, or at
least great priyation, would be lneV-
3table.
From other sources including dis
patches from the Chambers Of Com
merce at Portland and Tacoma, while
unofficial. the department believes TO
be thoroughly reliable, it is ascertalned
that since the 18th of August but 100
tons of provisions have reached DaW-
son City by river, and that the boats
of the two transportation companies,
with 1000 tons of supplies for that
place, were obliged to discharge their
freights for the Yukon, owing to the
lowness of the river between these
points.
1T is also learned from three inde-
pendent sources that the population OF
Dawson and vicinity in October of this
year was estimated to be not less than
5000, and probably was much IN
excess of that number, and that
at Dawson City and the country
tributary thereto, a large number or
American citizens are reported to have
insufficient food to last them through
the winter, and that many are abso-
lutely destitute.
when it was ascertained from Daw-
son by special messenger sent from
Fort Yukon about September 18th that
no more supplies could reach the miners
before summer via the Yukon, 100 or
800 people are reported to have gone
400 miles down the river in boats to
Fort Yukon, a journey requiring from
twenty three to twenty eight days
travel, where it is estimated there are
about 700 tons of provisions cached,
and that at Minook Creek, about ooO
miles from Dawson City, and Fort
Hamlin, 525 miles from the place down
the river, the trading companies upon
whom the miners depend wholly for
their winters supply We're compelled,
owing TO the lowness of the river, to
unload respectively 120 and 200 tons
of provisions from their steamboats,
bound from ST. Michael for Dawson"

/ AT the Clunie Opera-house last night
Manager Clifton made his first business
plunge here, introducing a very large
company in a sort Of review, it can hard
~ be called play, entitled South Be
fore the War;" supplemented by a
sketch and a number of speciality acts.
The people of the company are mainly
colored, with a few pale faces in charac-
ters calling for such. There was a full
house, and it was an audience that rem
dered a most emphatic verdict of ap-
prevail 1t is quite impossible to describe
the performance, there was so much OF
il and such extended variety. In the
South Before the War" review the au-
dience was given a very faithful picture
of old-time Southern scenes with dane
ing and singing typical of the times and
| of slavery's environment. In this sketch
Frank Howard, Billy Williams, Frank
White, Pauline Cottrell and Miss
| Britton were notably conspicuous,
/ the latter especially as a wing dancer,
While John Marion as a banjo player
made pronounced hit, and as a gro
| tesque carried the house by storm by
reason of his remarkable facial charac-
| teristics. He had only to open his
| laughter. In the interlude Symonds
| and RaStuS gave an example of tumb-
! ling revels, and the company gave ''Pas-
/ times on the Levee" with buck and wing
! dancing in plenty and some very good
/ chorus singing. There was no solo mus
/ ical numbers worthy of special men
/ ton, but the chorus effects, though re-
bellious against musical rule, won by
I I y1ai,. ND ir.it hnp
mems quartets, two of which, the Shat
tuck and the Standard, We're good. When
! the three groups united, however, the
effect was superior and won deserved
commendation. In a sketch Camp
Meeting on Frog Island" Ferry, "the
| human frog" was introduced. His act
is far and away the best grotesque con-
tortionist performance ever given in

The cake walk was, in short, a pro-
