FOOD SHORTAGE INEVITABLE
Captain Tuttie's Report on Conditions
in the North.

Washington, Sept. 81. - Captain
futile, in command of the cutter Bear,
OF the Behring sea patrol, in report
to the secretary of the treasury, gives
an official account of the rescue of Car
tain Whitesides, his wife and number
OF the crew of the steamer Nevarch,
which was caught in the ice pack off
Icy Cape, July 30, and also reports as
to the condition of affairs at st.
Michaels.
The Bear reached st. Michaels Au-
gust %, where about 800 miners were
found camping on the beach. On ar
rival Captain futile received requests
from the Alaska Commercial Company
and the North American Trading Com
pany to remain with his command at
st. Michaels until some means could be
devised to maintain law and order.
He was informed that among the sud-
den influx of people were many bad
characters, and previous to the arrival
of the Bear, open threats had been
made as to what they would do if the
transportation company failed to get
them up the Yukon. This was impos-
sible with the means at hand
Captain futile says that navigation
would close in few days and that -
vessels We're then on the way to st.
Michaels, the most of them with pas
sengers, and he thought if they did not
return on the vessels which brought
them, much suffering must result.
The captain decided to comply with
the requests which had been made un-
til Captain Hooper, OF the command of
the Behring sea feet, could be COM
municated with.
In concluding his report Captain
Tutlte says that in his opinion the stu
alton on the Yukon this winter will be
a very serious matter, and in his judg-
ment the limited supply of food will
result in starvation.

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 29.-The coro.

of the strikers at Lattimer in the
deputy coroner's Office, after an hours

dict:
THAT from the circumstances of the
case and the evidence offered, the said
Clement Platok, with others, came TO
his death by gunshot wounds on Sep.
TENDER 10, 1897, at the hands of Sheriff
James Martin and deputies, and in
this, we, the jury, do all agree. and we,
Phil J. Boyle, Thomas T. Thomas,
Barton Fresh and Peter McKernan, OF
this jury, do further say that the said
Clement Platok, with others, was
marching peacefully and unarmed on
the public highways, and they were in
tercepted by said Sheriff Martin and
his deputies, and mercilessly shot to
death, and we do further find that the
killing was unnecessary, and could have
been avoided without serious injury to
either persons or property, and we find,
finally, that the killing was wanton
and unjustifiable; but in this, we, John
Mau and +. J. McNeal, of this jury, do
not concur; and we, the jury, do fur
Their say that there was strong suspicion
OF unlawful violence at the hands of
persons unknown to this jury, as to

IF SPAIN REJECTS IT
What Will Follow Refusal to
Accept Our Mediation.
WAR MAY NOT BE DECLARED
But Diplomatic Relations Will BE Sus-
pended, and Minister WOOdfOrd
Will BE Recalled.

Madrid, Sept. 2S.-The arrival OF
United States Minister Woodford from
San Sebastian has caused sensation.
The programme of the Unitd States has
been ascertained This does not con-
template a declaration Of war, if Spain
rejects mediation, but, according to re-
ports, an OBSERVATIONS proclamation to
the world of disapproval of the Cuban
regime by auspending diplomatic rela-
tions with Spain, and withdrawing.th
United States minister"
General Woodiord has declined to be-
interviewed ON the subject, further
than to say that his conference with the
Dubke of Tetuan, the foreign minister,
was of the most satisfactory character.
The unexpected bitterness OF the
press and of public opinion has pain
fully impressed him, but he hopes it
will soon be alayed. He believes his
mission is favorable to Spanish inter-
ests, and connot comprehend that Spain
could reject mediation designed to end
an impoverishing war.
He has not named time ut which
the war must be terminated, but he
hopes, as shown by the rest of his
tenders, it will be ended quickly. He
believes that war is inficting meal j..
culable loss upon the United Staes and
that it is impossible to prevent the or
ganization of filibustering expeditions.
Unusual measures were taken to protect
Minister Woodford on his journey from
San Sebastian to this city, but the trip
was quite uneventful. A party of gem
darmes, commanded by sublieutenant,
guarded the Southern express on which
he was a passenger. Secret police were
posted at the station, and the project of
police was in waiting to escort him to
his hotel. The drive through the
streets was marked by no special incl
dent, though several people saluted
him, receiving a bow in return.
Some comment has been caused by
the fact that Minister Woodford's fam
lily has not accompanied him, but re-
mains behind on the French frontier.
Minister Woodford explains that his
party is large one, requiring a COM
modious home, and prefers spending Il
pleasant October at Biarritz until II
suitable residence can be secured
here. General Woodford has a.
ready engaged box at the Royal opera
house, and has purchased horses.
General Woodford has taken apart
ments at the Hotel Rome, but received
official visits at the legation, where he
passed the entire morning
