Oct. 27.-The weather at Lake Bennett
and Lindermann lately has been ex-
ceptionally fine. Following the cold
snap at the beginning of this month
when the mercury fell below freezing
point came a milder term and the
coolest weather recorded since was
eight degrees above zero.
The lakes We're still open, on Satur-
day last, and a few people were still
leaving for Dawson, althOughit is prob
able that those leaving Lake Bennett
after this date will not get further
down than Lake Tagish. The Skaguay
trail is comparatively clear, although
considerable packing is still being done
between Skaguay and Summit.
A good many of the argonauts are
still making their way over the Chill
icott pass, packing their own outfits as
the Indians have practically retired
from the business for this season. An
Indian will not venture over the pass
until winter has thoroughly set in and
the snow has become packed. Reports
of narrow escapes from being frozen to
death on Chilkoot summit come in from
time to time but as yet no fatality has
been recorded.
A physician from Kansas City had a
close call. last Friday. Benumbed with
cold, he crawled into a cache where he
was accidentally discovered by some

semi-consciousness when found and it
was only by the greatest exertion that
his life was saved.

The Spanish Press Scores Ex minister Taylor
= The Latest from Havana.

Madrid, Nov. 4-The letter of Senior
Salvina published in the Spanish news
papers yesterday. replying tosthe arti-
Gle of Mr.. Hannis Taylor, the former
United States minister to Spain, on the
Cuban question, recently published in
an American magazine, has created the
greatest stir here. The Spanish papers
attack Mr. Taylor for his utterances.
The Spanish cabinet has now decided
to reply to the United States minister's
acknowledgment of the receipt of
Spain's note in reply to the representa-
tons of the United States on the sub
ject of Cuba by declaring in guarded
terms that with reference to granting
autonomy to Cuba, Spain will do what
she deems fit. 1t is also understood
that the Spanish government is de-
termined in the case of the American
schooner Competitor, captured in Gu
ban waters in April, 1896, to maintain
that the Spanish officers acted correctly
in making the capture.
AT the meeting of the Spanish cabi-
net it was decided to demand an ex-
PLANTATION from General Weyler Of the
remarks he made in his farewell ad-
dress on leaving Havana, on Sunday
last.
Previous to embarking on board the
steamer Monserrat, WHICH conveyed
him to Spain. General Weyler received
a deputation of AutOnomists and in his
address to them he said in part: "Myre-

not adopted in obedience to any polt-

Satisfy SIG, 1000 Claim.

Pittsfield, Me-, Nov. 4.-Mr e. L. Van
Etten, superintendent of construction
of the Wiscasset & Quebec Railroad
extension. is authority for this state
ment: 1T looks now very much as
though the Wiscasset & Quebec Rail-
road would go to Waterville from
Weeks Mills, and not come to Pitts
field at all. Waterville is making a
strong bid for it and it is thought the
terminus would give vastly more bust
ness
1t seems that while men have been
hired and the contract let to RESPONSE
BILE parties for the Burnham-Pittsfield
extension this transaction was done
with the understanding the moneyed
men of Pittsfield would subscribe 10
some $4,000 to pay the land damages en-
tailed. The committee having this in
charge have secured but $3.50 and this
drops the matter.
1t is further alleged that Hon. Char
les D. Eaines of New York, who has
held a controlling interest in both the
Wiscasset &: Quebec and Sebasticook
& Moosehead Railroads, has sold his
interests to Mr.. H. Martin of New

HAMmeRsrely ASSIGNS.
Interest in Olympia Alone Is $4,000 and
Claims Are Only SIS 900 Or $4,000.

New York, Nov. 4.-Oscar Hammer
stein, proprietor of the Olympia Music
hall and the Lyric theatre, made an as
siSnment. today. to Louis J. Phillips.
His employees are made preferred Gre
ditors in the assignment and their
claims will be paid in full, the assignees
says, within few days.
The assignment will cause the clos
ing of the Olympia and of the Lyric
theatre, tonight, and until some ar
rangement can be made with the credi-
tors. That both places will soon be re-
opened under Hammersteins manage
ment is deemed almost certainty by
his lawyers.
The claims against Mr.. Hammerstein
amount to between $4,000 and $4,000,
While his equity in Olympia is said to
be worth 100000 above all mortage
claims.
Mr.. Litchenstein, one of Hammerstein' S
lawyers, had this to say about the as
signment: THE liabilities will not ex-
coed from $4,000 to SIS. coo. / regard the
assignment as a temporary matter which
will doubtless have little visible effect on
Mr.. Hammerstein's affairs. Mr.. Ham
mersteins principal assets are theatrical
properties, consisting mainly of the Olym-
pic, that cost him $l750.OO0. There is a
mortgage of $780, coo on it. This mortgage
is less than the price paid for the land
on which the house stands. He also owns
his residence and factory building.
When Hammerstein sold the Harlem
Opera house, last June, he cleaned up all
his other debts and the judgments against
him. He has been in i'll health lately and
as business has been poor. he thought it
best to clear the atmosphere and then
take a rest. What his exact intentions
