SHORT RATIoNs AT DAWSON CITY.
CompnnN stores Preparing to Avert
Possible Suffering.

Seattle. oct. 25.-The steamer Farallon
arrived from Dyea and Skaguay yester-
day, bringing l25 passengers, II of whom
are from Dawson City. The party brought
gold not exceeding in amount $4,000.
The last party out from Dawson left
there in September, and was headed by
IL. \. Stewart of Sheboygan. Mich. With
him were J. c. Woolsey of Tacoma and
sam Henry of Lincoln, Neb. The party
arrived at Ilaines' mission, ut Chilkat in
let, 81 days after starting. They had a
pack train of II horses and $50 pounds of
provisions. They came out ON Il small
river steamer from Dawson to the Pelly
river. thence poled to Five Fingers, and
finished their journey over the Dalton
trail and Chilkoot pass. They encounter
ed severe snowstorms on the trail and suf-
fered great hardships.
Nearly all the restaurants are closed at
Dawson on account of n food shortage.
Prices of provisions are not advanced over
regular prices, but the companies stores
are refusing to take orders. More than
half of the food in the warehouse has been
sold but the company refuses to distrib
ute it, although it is paid for, until it is
learned for certain whether more provi-
sions will be brought up the river. In
case no more arrive the entire stock will
be rationed out among the residents, to
prevent, if possible, privation. There has
been no more starvation yet, but there
will surely be II shortage People are
leaving daily. Up to September 100
had started for Fort Yukon to try and get
down the river to Circle City, and thence
by steamer to the United States.

A FIGHT WITH THE UTEs.
Several Persons Are Killed in the
Conflict in Colorado.

Rifle, Col, Oct 81. Reports from
Snake river are to the effect that Game
Warden Wilcox attempted to arrest some
Indians near Lily park for violating the
Colorado game laws and was fired upon
by the Utes. The officers returned the
fire, killing five Utes. Game Warden Viii
cox, with several posses of deputies and
ranchmen. are after the Indians, and a
further conflict seems inevitable. The
excitement here is intense and parties are
organizing to go to Wilcox relief, fearing
general uprising of the Indians.
The trouble commenced last week when
the White river Uncomphagre and Uintah
Utes began pouring over the line from
Utah on their annual fall hunt. The
White river Utes are exceptionally ugly
and have apparently been anxious to pick
trouble with parties of whites with whom
they have come in contact. These Otes
were i'll the Meeker massacre and have
never been anything but ugly and waiting
an oportunity to do mischief There are
several hundred of them now in the state.
Game Warden Wilcox, with Il small
party, started out toward the Indian
camp and approached unobserved. The
game warden was resisted and finally fired
upon by the Indians. Then a set-to fol
lowed in which number of Indians were
killed and wounded 1t was reported that
Game Warden WilcoX's party also sui
fered severely.
Brigadier General Otis of the depart
ment of Colorado has said that if cir
cumstances warranted it troops would be
sent to the scene of the conflict between
the Utes and WilcoX's men at once, that
they were we'll prepared and ready to pro
ceed at a moments notice.

meat is almost worthless. Mr.. Hledinger

GENERAL TRADE MOVEMENT
WOOL SPECULATION HAS CEASED.
business Continues In Large Pro-
portions, Although There Are
Further Evidences of Falling on
In Demand and Volume.

New York, Oct. % -Bradstreets says:
what irregular and there are further evi-
dences of falling off in demand and vol
ume, business continues of large proper
tions. Speculation III wool has ceased and
demand for the staple is less than for
weeks past. Cotton goods are dull on the
weakness of raw cotton and jobbers re
port dry goods slower than week ago
Interior merchants in the central west
have not distributed fall stocks as
promptly as expected and many jobbers at
western centers find that they oyeresti
mated the consumptiye demand when Sc
curing fall goods. Unseasonably warm
weather has intcrfered with the move
ment of heavy goods at the west, but rains
in Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska have
improved the agricultural outlook. Rela-
lively the greatest activity in trade is re
ported by Kansas City and Omaha mer-
chants. While quarantine regulations
have been raised in Texas and modified
in Louisiana, business throughout most
of the gulf states is most practically AT
standstill. Almost all the large eastern
cities report a decreased movement OF
merchandise and a tendency of collections
to fall away, notably Baltimore, owing to
its southern connections. The industrial
situation continues to furnish employ
ment to as army persons as at any pre-
ceding period this year and at higher
wages.
Productions of iron, steel, machinery
stoves. car structural works, glass and
wooden goods continues heavy. Steel
mills have orders to carry them into 1913
and decline contracts for next years de
livery. This explains the advance in the
price of bessemer pig iron, while the foun
dry grades remain unchanged Inc extra
ordinarily heavy and steadily increasing
production of iron is starting up furnaces
long out of blast, and although consump
ton is heavy it is not improbable that
production may outrun it in the near flu
ture, which constitutes an unfavorablc
point in the outlook.
Exports of wheat flour included as
wheat) from both coasts of the United
States and from Canada this week
amount to 5,552,l77 bushels, against g.
900 bushels last week, 4,007 90 bushels

There were $50 business failures report
ed throughout the United States this
week, against 1876 last week, 292 in the
week a year ago, and 800 in the third

BASIS OF SPANS REPLY.
AS TO INTERNATIONAL LAW |
Alleges That the United states Has
Not Been Diigent in Opposing
FiIfbustering-Pert Facts ON
the Other Side.

Washington, Oct. 26.-lt is not doubted
among officials here that the basis of the
Spanish reply to Mr.. Noodford's note will
be the charge that the United States had
not observed the requirements OF interna-
tional law in the matter of preventing
fihbustering. In this case the state de-
nartment will have some pertinent facts
to present. which its officials believe will
completely ALLEVIATE from Spain any sym
pathy she may have contracted from any
European nations on that score. 1t Is
asserted, positively, that IN no single case
where the Spanish authorities have
brought to the attention OF our govern
ment the fact that an illegal expedition
was about to start from our shores for
Cuba. has it neglected to use all the
means permitted by our laws to prevent
the start. 1t has been so indulgent in
this respect as to accept statements from
the Spanish officials not accompanied by
proofs of the facts alleged, but mere sug-
gestions that they had reason to believe
that an expedition was formed. In some
cases our government has proceeded to
merce on insufficient evidence furnished
bv the Spanish government that has re-
suited in the preferment of large claims
bv American vessels for illegal deten-
ton
An Expensive Patrol.
Then the expense of maintaining the
patrol along the Atlantic and gulf coast
has been heavy. Every time the state
department has been obliged to call on Il
collector of a port the result has been
a heavy bill of expenses for tugs, special
officials and other charges, while the at
torney generals office, and i'll fact most
of the executive departments have been
put to more or less trouble and expense,
The navy department especially have
been embarrassed to the necessity Tor
divcrting vessels from other places for
the disagreeable Florida patrol. On the
official estimates, the expense the United
States has been to protect the Cuba coast
for Spain is about $2,0O0,0O0. This is
probably a large estimate, but one naval
officer, who is thoroughly cognizant OF
the strain put upon the department by
the patrol stated that it would really be
cheaper for the United States to send a
fleet to Cuba and blockade the coast there
against incoming filibusters than to try
to stop them on our own extensive coast
line.
! Altogether the officials here are conf
! dent of their ability to show that the
government has more than complied with
the requirements of the international law
which, as laid down in the Alabama ar
bitration, simply demands that a nation
"use due diligence to prevent the de
parture of hostile expeditions.
Up to the colse of Office hours today
SPANS reply on the Cuban question had
not reached the president or state de
partment. 1t was stated in other quar-
tiers that are in position to know what
occurred at Madrid, that the answer had
not been delivered to Minister Woodford
up to today. 1t has been approved by
the cabinet. however, and is to be com
municated to Mr.. Woodford late today OF
