CONTROL OF CUBA
Intimation May Be Sent
by United States.
Yellow Jack Makes Appearance
Coastwise Steamers Now
In Quarantine.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The Journals
Washington special gives what pur-
ports to be the text of President Nc
Kinley's note to Spain on Ruiz's death.
He will represent that Spain has lost
control of Cuba, is impotent to protect
Americans and has failed to observe
treaty obligations. The correspondent
says:
Under these heads will be arranged
the reasons for the United States now
offering mediation. The note will sug-
gest the effects naturally flowing from
the recognition of belligerency or indie
pendence of the Cubans. An intimation
will be given that if the United States
is forced to recognize the independence
OF the island it will take rank imme
diately in the family of American ma
tons"
The correspondent says further that
the note will formally offer mediation,
suggesting that if Spain accedes an
equitable and proper division of the
burden of the war can be made. In
demnity is to be paid by Cuba, to be
determined by arbitral methods, if nee
essary, and large enough to cover
fair valuation of Spanish property.

spain's Proposition.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 14.-Of-
fetal information has been received
that Spain is about to put into opera
ton the political reforms promised for
Cuba by the Queen Regent. The re-
form scheme guarantees to the Cubans
a system of government practically
similar to Canada. 1t provides for a
Legislature assembly composed of mem
bers elected directly by the people and
by number of conservative corpora
tons, most of them devoted to charit-
able purposes. The legislators elected
directly by the people are to form a
majority.

YELLOW JACKS RAvAGEs.

Steamers Doing Quarantine Duty
at San Francisco.
The Call, of June 18th, says that the
passengers on the City of Para are be-
wailing their fate. For the next five
days they will be held in quarantine at
Angel Island, and not even the mails
will be allowed to land. At least "a
hours before the Para is released the
Acapulco, which will be due next
Thursday, will be. keeping her COM
pany. Chief Engineer Mclean, of the
Acapulco, died during the voyage, and
it is thought that other deaths may
have occurred.
Sailer Jackson, of the City of Para,
who was thought to be convalescent,
has had a setback, and yesterday
morning was put to bed again. Quar-
antine Officer Bleu has very little hopes
for his life. All the passengers, both
cabin and steerage, and also the mail,
viii be fumigated, and if no fresh cases
break out the vessel will be released
on Friday and allowed to dock.

ALTGELD,s FINANCES.
He Is Accused of Causing Com

He Is Accused OF Causing Com
mIssioner's Ruin.
A Chicago paper says that ex-Gov-
ernor Altgeld, who has figured as a
borrower of large sums at nearly all
the banks that have failed in Chicago
recently, is now accused of having bor-
rowed S42, 900 from B. X. Durfee, late
Insurance Commissioner of Illinois,
and thereby causing his financial ruin.
When Governor Tanner assumed Office
four months ago Mr.. Durfee informed
him of his financial situation and
promised to make good the shortage if
given time
Durfee's term did not expire until
May q. The two men had been good
friends for many years. Governor
Tanner continued him in office, and Mr..
Durfee, by selling all his property at
prices below 40 per cent of their value,
managed to close his accounts with the
State and get a receipt in full from his
successor before he retired.

A Nicaraguan Monopoly.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-It is
learned here that the Pellas steamboat
concession, recently purchased by the
Atlas Steamship Company, gives it the
exclusive right of steam navigation on
Lake Nicaragua and the San Juan Riv.
er for 80 years. 1t would seem as il
any canal company which wants a new
concession from Nicaragua during the
next 80 years would have to deal with
the Atlas Company, as it holds the
key to the situation so far as traffic is
concerned. The Atlas Company is q
British concern.

As far back as 1850 a deposit of gold
was found in the basin of the Yukon by
q prospcctor named George Holt. .ile

specimens along the uoqtalinqua river.
But it-wus the discovery of gold near
Sitka in 1873, followed by the finds in
the vicinity of Juneau in 1850, that drew
attention to the possibilities of the
uewIy. acquired territory of Alaska as
d S1d-producing country. The great
abundance OF gold was first made known
by Joseph Juneau, who prospected ia
the region around the city bearing his
name. In 1855 mining prospectors be-
gan to scatter themselves along the
Rivers PeIiy and uootalinqua, and in
The year following much mention was
made OF the Stewart river as a field for
the euterprisiug gold hunter. Rich
strikes were made in 1892 By prospec-
tors along Miller creek, a tributary of
Sixty Mis- creek. The progress made in
