FOR TREASON.
Eighty Rich Spanish Merchants N
Havana Arrested.
Several of Those Under Arrest Are Mem
bers of the Union constitutional Party
Two Influential Spanish Officers
Sell Spanish Cannon to Cubans.

HAVANA, July 16.-The greatest ex-
element that has existed since the war
began prevails here now. Eighty rich
Spanish merchants and bankers, in
Guiding Don Antonio Quesada, ex-may-
or Of Havana, were arrested here
charged with selling merchandise and
medicine to the Cubans. Many of
these under arrest are prominent men,
bers of the Union Constitutional party.
The combined wealth of the men ar.
rested exceeds $50, 900, 600.
1t is stated by their friends that the
arrests are made for the purpose of
blackmail, and it is intimated that the
chief of police has informed the pris-
oners that they will be released if tho
sum of 500, 200 be paid.
La Lucia has revealed fact which
is making much comment here. Near
Ell Seborncal, Remedies, Santa Clara
province, the Spanish Capt Estrada,
with his guerrilla forces, captured a
Cuban stock of arms, including sew
eral rifles and two big gun carriages,
made in Barcelona, Spain. The can
non, it appears, had been taken from
the carriages by the Cubans and put
in some other safe place.
Every body here at once began talk
ing about those mysterious guns.
Later the mystery was solved, to the
great surprise of the Spanish loyal
lists The cannon were sold to the Gu
bans by two Spanish officers, who
were very influential with the govern
ment and with Gen. Weyler. Such
remarkable incidents are showing the
real character of Gen. Weyler's admin
istl alton.
5 A report is current that the patriots
have attacked and partially burned
Cardenas. There are fully 5000 Gu bans
in the vicinity of Mantanzas City and
Cardenas. Gen. Molina left Mantanzas
with strong column. Gen. Weyler
has not succeeded in capturing Gomez
and has evidently given up the idea.

YUKON GOLD FIELDS.
Yield of Dust and Nuggets During the
Year Approximates $5.ooo,ooo.
Not Less Than Four Dollars Worth OF
Gold, Scooped With Every Shovelfui
of Dirt-SaIaries of Miners About
Twelve Dollars a Day.

CHICAGO, July 19--Vice President 2.
B. Weare, of the North American
TRANSPORTATION g. Trading Co., has
received dispatches from the Cloudyke
placer gold fields of Alaska, which
confirm the stories of its fabulous
wealth received from the Pacific coast
during the past week. The steamship
Portland, of the North American Co.,
arrives at Seattle, Wash. from its
semi-annual expedition within a
week and bears $1,000 600 in gold
dust from the Yukon fields. The
dispatch sums up the yield of dust and
nuggets in that Eldorado country dur
ing the year as approximately S., 0O0,-
OOO The letter is from Capt. John j.
Healy, who has piloted crafts for the
North American Co. through the wind
ing Alaskan rivers for years. 1t is
dated June z, from Circle City, near
the British boundary, and depicts
graphically the immense fortunes
which have been made within a fort
night by roaming, penniless miners.
Capt. Healy tells of new regions
which have been discovered; indeed,
the captain says that not less than 81
worth of gold dust is scooped up with
every shovelful of dirt, and that APP
plies to every piece of ground into
which the shovel is dug. Salaries to
miners are not less than $12 day, and
a man can get his provision and susten-
ance for So.
There is no trouble" said Mr..
l.
ly uncovered. All my dispatches agree
this is the continuation of the mother
vein in this country. Won Hum boldt,
upon his visit to Butch Harbor, near
Bristol bay, predicted that the mother
vein would show itself in Alaska in a
parallel line. Everything indicates
the truth of this prophecy.
"Circle City and Fort Cudahy were
the principal gold fields before the
Clondyke fields were discovered last
fall and the rush for those fields has
continued since.
Gold fields have also been discov-
cred of great value in the vicinity of
Noatak river, which is in British terri.
tory, but the travel has been and con-
tinues to be toward the Yukon fields.
This year the number of miners in this
territory has been increased by
5000, to which must be add
ed the 1000 miners already stu.
ated there. Most of these
miners come from the silver mines and
push through the wild country and
over the mountains. In this way the
distan ce is only 1000 miles, while the
water route covers 5000 miles"
Mr.. Weare has also news of new
discovery of gold fields, hitherto un.
touched, near the mouth of the Tana-
ma river, which is the second largest
river of Alaska, and enters the Yukon
at the town of Weare.

GENERAL FEAR
OF q Repetition of the Bloody Riots OF
1890 at Valparaiso.

New YORK, July IA dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso says:
There is a general fear here that a
repetition of the bloody riots of 1890
when scores of rioters were shot down
and killed by the police and militia, is
at hand.
The situation is critical. 1t was
brought about by the action of the
mayor of Valparaiso in ordering 1000
workshops closed, thereby throwing
thousands of men out of employment.
Unless something is done Immediately
to provide for the idle thousands, seri-
Gus trouble will result
The authorities only quelled the
riots of 1890 after great loss of life.
The rioters at that time looted many
stores to obtain food and clothing, and
the result was the police and militia
were called out to put an end to the
troubles. Scores of idle men were shot
down and cut down in the streets.

THE LARGEST SINGLE ORDER FOR
CREAM SEPARATORS EVER GIVEN.
A Noted Iowa Creamery Operator Or
ders Five Hundred at One Time.

w: l. Moody, Iowa's greatest creamery
operator, estimates that it costs an average
of 10 cts. per 100 lbs. to haul milk to cream
cry and haul the skim milk away again.
He is going to save all this by placing with
his patrons Dairy Separators, and have
wagons call for the cream.
In this way the farmer will get the full adj
vantage of the Separator and creamery sys-
TENS, will have the warm fresh skim milk
at home for stock feed and will not be at ex-
pense of carting his milk to a creamery.
Before ordering these 500 Separators, val
ued at over $4,000, the merits of all the
different Dairy Separators on the market
were very thoroughly considered and prac-
teal tests were made by Mr.. Moody,
1t was finally decided that the Sharples
Separators, made at West Chester, Pa,
were the most desirable and best made ma
chimes, and though costing little more
money, it was thought they were well worth
the difference asked, and the order was
given to that company.

The Wheat Crop Good.

NoBLEsvILLE, Ind, July 19.-The
wheat crop that is now being threshed
is turning out much better and is
grading better than any crop since
1891. The price of grain is gradually
going up, the elevators paying 50 cents.
In this city no man who wants work
is out of employment. Several brick
and gravel streets are being construct
ed, and also large sewer, which gives
'all our laborers employment. Besides
these public improvements there are
several other large buildings being
erected, which give labor to the me.

THE LONDON PRESS
On the Alleged Note of Secretary Sher-
man on the Sealing Question.


LONDON, July 16.-The Daily Mail
says editorially. UNLESS we get an
arbitration treaty the day will come
when the unbridled verbiage of a
small section of American politicians
will magnify petty insult into pretty
war. Secretary Sherman's dispatch is
too undiplomatic for English ears and
too hollow for American common
sense. In the interests of humanity
the rumored alliance between Japan
and Spain is desirable. Our Yankee
friends want little blood letting to
bring them to sensible intern ational
policy, and this would best be done by
any hands other than those of Eng
land"
The Times, in an editorial article,
says: SIT is impossible to doubt the
authenticity of the document. 1t is
manifest attempt. in offensive lam
guage, to fasten upon England a
charge of bad faith. If this was not
Secretary Sherman's intention he has
shown himself singularly untitled for
the delicate and responsible duties of
his Office, If it was, then the state
ment he recently made repudiating
the charge of bad faith is deliberately
misleading. When he was first APP
pointed to his present Office doubts
were expressed as to the wisdom of the
choice. If he really sent this dispatch
they will be fully confirmed"
The Daily Chronicle, thinks Lord, Sal
isbury would be justified in returning
Secretary Sherman's dispatch on the
ground that the British govern ment
does not receive communications
couched in such terms. If he does
not it is because American diplo-
matists assume a certain liberty OF
Language not used by other countries.
The Chronicle proceeds to severely
censure the methods of American di-
plomacy, and says: THE fact that
some nations, like ourselves, are for
tunate in being favored with the pres.
ence of diplomatist, who is no less q
gentleman in public than in private
life is not sufficient to remove this stu,
and danger"
The Standard says editorially: "Ths
appearance of Secretary Sherman.
dispatch has undoubtedly damaged the
position of the state department L
is preposterous that we should be &C
cused of bad faith by men who have
VIGOROUSLY refused to comply with ar
impartial award simply because it wa!
given against them"
The Post in an editorial, says
EVERY indication points to the Ger
tainty that Great Britain will be com
PEELED to fight for her existence agains
the United States, as the American
government believes that war can b.
safely begun. In such situation wa
can not be averted by justice nor b,
good will. Our statesman must searcI
their consciences and make sure tina
in any controversy that may be raised
their attitude is just and fair. They
should concede so long as there is an,
reasonable doubt concerning tn
justice of their position, but they mus
be prepared for an appeal to force
''OurNduty is to make sure that i
comes by no fault of ours and that
shall find us united and prepared
The respite will in all probability b
the time needed for the creation of
more powerful American feet, sa
three or four years, or for the creation
of political com animation with som
naval power, say in as many months
