NEW YORK, July 22.-The World
says: 1.-THE Clondyke gold fever has
reached this city. At all the ticket
agencies and railroad offices inquiries
are being made about raCes.
"What will 1t cost to send my son to
the new gold felds?" a well-dressed
woman inquired of c. E. Lambert, the
general passenger agent of the. West
! Shore railroad. Mr.. Lambert gave
! her the figures and she promised to
! return.
'.She is only one of dozen who have
been here to see us this morning, I"
said Mr.. Lambert.
The first expedition from this city
for the Yukon gold fields will leave
early next week. All the details have
been arranged at the Office of former
/ Judge George NJ. Curtis. The party
/ is to comprise William Edwards, a
young lawyer in Mr.. Curtis Office, a
son of Billy Edwards, of the Hoffman
house; John w. Edwards, a Brooklyn
druggist; DIR. James w. Broston, of
Brooklyn, and Charles Edelman, a
civil and mining engineer of this city.
In addition to scientific and gastron-
omical supplies furnished pro rata,
each man will put Sl200 into common
fund. Every detail has been carefully
arranged and all that remains to do is
to engage passage on the Pacific coast
steamship Queen, which will sail from
San Francisco August I. This will be
attended to by Judge Curtis, who is in
the metropolis of California on legal
business. All supplies will be pur-
chased at San Francisco and the party
will leave the Queen at Ju2eau and go
overland to the Clondyke district.
Speaking to a reporter one Of the
members of the party said:
"There is one thing in favor of the
Yukon district, and that is the
abundan6 supply of fresh fish. We
have plenty of fishing tackle and every
article necessary to establish a COM
Portable home. The doctor will look
after physical welfare. DIR. Clark, too,
is pharmacist, and he can compound
the doctors prescriptions. We shall
have the best equipment experience
can suggest and we shall be we'll sup
piled with weapons to use in self-de-
fence, if necessary"
DIR. Edwards, who has visited Alaska,
has prepared list of meats, saccarhine
and farinaceous food products, together
with fresh and dried fruits and pickles.
To this will be added coffee, chocolate,
spices. etc., and the supply is based on
a total of 20 ounces of food for each
man daily.
"This amount" said DR.. Edwards,
"may be reasonably assured as the
quantity necessary to the maintenance
of mans perfect health in latitude
such as the Yukon. We intend to
take along a good supply of spirituous
liquors, as they will be of great value
to US"
Each of the party is in excellent
spirits and confident of success.

of Cleveland. we'll known in this city,

and a number of New Workers have
chartered a steamer and are arranging
an expedition, which will sail from

The CLONDYKE CRAZE
New Eldorado Continues to
Absorb Public Attention.
RUSH FROM CALIFORNIA
Many Miners Preparing to Leave
San Francisco for the
New Mines,
Steamers Book Passengers Direct for Daw-
son City-Periis Attending the
Journey-YIeld Estimated
at Ten Million.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.-Notwith-
standing the suggestions OF the miners
on the advantages of travelling over
land, the Excelsior, which will sail on
the 2Sth, is booking passengers for
Dawson City by the score and will
close it's books in q day or so. The
stt amer will arrive at St. Michael's
early in August, in time to connect
with river boats running direct to
Dawson. The gold seekers will reach
their destination about September B.
AS the Yukon will be frozen by
October l, no one who does not go
soon will be able to reach Dawson this
year by way of st. Michael's. Hun
dreds will doubtless make the journey
overland from Juneau after the closing
OF the navigable streams.
The Alaska Commercial Company
has 5OO,0 900 pounds of supplies at St.
Michael's, all of which will be
forwarded to Dawson by boat before
the closing of the river. The North
American Transportation Company
has an equal amount of food and cloth
ing at ST. Michael's.
A party of 40 men is preparing to
charter schooner and sail to Juneau,
from which point they will make the
journey overland to Dawson.
1t is hard to say at this time how
many San Franciscans will leave for
the new Eldorado. Hundreds are con-
sidering the question, but tho danger
and the possibility of failure will keep
many of them from swelling the popu-
lation OF Dawson City or any of the
new towns which will spring up, or
from journeying to possible new fields
which may be discovered. The
problem is difficult one to solve, but
the chances are that couple of
hundred will leave here between now
and next spring.
The Walfa Walla sails this morning
with but few Yukoners. The Walla
Walla will connect with the Mexico,
which will take most of the miners
bound for Juneau. The Yukon rush
has caused the Pacific Coast Company
to arrange an extra steamer trip, which
will be the George w. Elder, to leave
Portland for juneau soon, stopping at
Seattle.

MADRID, July 20.-Senor Moretly
Prendergast, the liberal leader, and
former minister, delivered brilliant
speech at Saragossa last night on the
Cuban question. He violently attacked
the policy of the government, especial
ly its methods of campaigning in Cuba,
and declared that autonomy must be
proclaimed. Autonomy for Cuba"
he said, sis as much necessity of

t from General Maxine Come, in
which the general says:
at is advisable 10 make this sum-
mer's campaign as active and aggres-
sive as possible. To cary out our plans
successfully we will need rather tean
anything else steady supply of ammu-
milton. For that we depend on the
support of patriotic Cubans and friends
abroad.
The recent landing of several ex-
peditions in different sections Of Cuba
has enabled our men to engage the
Spanish with satisfactory results, The
remarkably large number of disabled
soldiers entering the Spanish hosp tails
in the last two weeks is the most
emphatic proof of our activity.
Il have received half.million
rounds of ammunition from the last
expedition landed in Camaguay. 1t
was conveyed across the Jucaro Moron
trocha By Colonel Dimmas with 800
men. The passage of the trocha by
Colonel Zamora's force shows that the
barrier defended by 1900 Spanish
soldiers is no obstacle to orr move
ments. This last supply of ammuni-
tion enabled our forces under Major
General GARLIC to move westward.

An Ohioan Now In Alaska Denounces
CIOndyke Stories as False.
TOLEDO, O., July 21.-Mr. and Mrs.
Claus Spellman, of Defiance, have just
received letter from their son, Fred,
who has been in Alaska since last
March, that discredits the golden
stories that have been exciting the
people of the Vest for several weeks.
Mr.. Spellman went to Alaska from
Montana last March, under contract
as prospector. A number of men
were in the party and they will all re-
turn to Montana this month. Spell
man says there is absolutely no truth
in the fabulous stories that come from
Alaska, and that the gold fields there
are practically barren. He says there
is great scarcity of food in that Sec
ton. The suffering there and the
enormous amount of money necessary
to be paid to secure the bsrest neces-
stiles of life, he says, should deter any
thinking man from giving the subject
of trip to that country q second
thought.

SAoRAMENTo, Cal, July 20.-At 2:30
this morning a tourist car attached to
the northbound Oregon express train
was derailed at Sheridan, Placer
county. The train was turning into a
switch to allow the passage of the
southbound express, when the tourist
car turned over. 1t is thought the
accident was caused by defective
journal. A. L. Paxton suffered a
sprained ankle and his wife has an arm
bruised. They were transferred to
another car and proceeded on their
journey, toward Portland, Oregon.

CONSISTENT CARLISLE,


When the gold standard democrats
of Kentucky held their convention
last week, Hon. John G. Carlisle de-
livered speech in which he declared
that the faithful followers gathered
there under the sound of his voice
would die rather than surrender their
POLITICAL convlG.;ans." They were
there, Mr.. Carlysle asserted, to paralyze
the sslunatics who propose to hurry this
country order policy of bimetalism. :"
Not one of the faithful there assembled
has ever surrendered his political con-
victions; no not one, not even the
noble, the consistent" Carlisle. The
immaculate ex-secretary of the
treasurer, ex-senator and ex-congress-
man, above all others, would meyer be

an unpardonable sin. No, not The.

his utterances iu the past. coupled
with those of the present, brand him

the age. In the house of represents
tives in 1878, while discussing the de-
monitizatiOn of silver, which was
followed by vote for the free coinage
bill then before congress, this saint of
'.sound money" said:
According to my view of the sub
ject, the conspiracy that seems to have
been formed here and in Europe to de-
stroy by legislation from three
sevenths to one-half the metallic
money of the world, is the most
gigantic crime of this or any other
age. The consummation of such
scheme would ultimately entail more
misery upon the human race than all
the wars, pestilences and famines that
ever occurred in the history of the
world. The absolute and instaneous
destruction of half the entire movable
property of the world, including
houses, ships, railroads, and ali the
appliances for carrying on commerce.
while it would be felt more sensibly at
the moment, would not produce any
thing like the prolonged distress and
disorganization of society that must
inevitably result from the permanent
annihilation of one-half the metallic
money in the world"

Country.
New YORK, July 22-Uruguay is
practically in the hands of the rebels,
says the -Herald's correspondent ut
Montevideo, and the war is at at an
end. While the rebels have not upset
the government, they have forced it
into a corner from which there seems
no escape, and the final result un-
over ofexisting conditions in Uruguay.
An armistice between the rebels and
the government was signed few days
ago. It. was to remain in force until
August l. Peace negotiations were
Immediately set on foot. The negotia-
tions have led to proposal to form
government of the rebel chiefs, the
rebels to be given the presidency of
the republic and the governorship of
six provinces. In addition every
rebel who has been dismissed from the
army is to be reinstated under the
new movement, and all those exiled
on account of the revolution are to be
allowed 70 return.
Pedro Jose Ramirez has been prac-
tically decided upon for the new
president, though the details of how
and when he is to take the Office have
not yet been decided upon.

Romance of the Owner of Dawson City
Townsite.
q NEW YORK, July pa special to
the World from Plattsburg, n. V,
says:
Joseph Ladue. owner of the townsite
of Dawson, Alaska, is now on the way
to his former home at Schuyler Falls,
Clinton county, New York, to be
married to Miss Mason. 1t is said that
Ladue and Miss Mason were to have
been married long ago, but Miss
Mason's parents opposed the match
because Ladue was poor. Then Ladue
went to the Black Hills in search of
gold. He was quite successful, but be-
fore coming East to claim his bride,
he went into speculation at Deadwood
aud lost every dollar.
Ladue wrote to Miss Mason of his
misfortune, and soon after went TO
Alaska. He did not return home until
two years ago, and then it was settled
that upon his return from another trip
to Alaska they would be married. AS
Ladue is said to be a millionaire. the
parents of the bride will offer no OBJ
jections to the union. and it is probable
that Mr.. and Mrs. Ladue will spend
their honeymoon on their way to the
gold fields, where they intend to live
for at least three years.
