London, September 25.-tCopyrighted
1897 by the Associated Press. 1.-The Spec
tator accepting as a fact that the United
States has admonished Spain, finds its diff
ficillt to think war can be avoided, aiding:
Apart from the fact that pride and ig-
norance of the consequences bid Spain defy
the United States, war is probably con-
sidered the best of the difficulties. We're
the government to propose the abandon
ment of Cuba in cold blood Il would simply
mean handing over the country 70 Don
Carlos. so the government proposes to en-
ploy America as the surgeon to do tho nee
essary amputation, which will alone pre-
vent the Cuban gangrene from spreading
to the rest of the body polite.
After detailing SPANS iniquities III Cuba,
the Spectator continues
ITO prolong the war would ne a crime
and If America chooses to stop aeso lid
phaud and refuse to inquire too narrowly
into the reason which influenced her
statesmen in putting pressure upon Spain. :
Referring to the objections of patriotic
Americans to the admission into the Union
of Cuban and Hawaiian States, and the
consequent election of senators by dcgrad-
cd populations" the Spectator says:
Americas duty is to stop the long agony
OF Cuba and If her constitution admits OF
her doing so safely, the sooner she amends
her constitution SO she can hold her new
acquisitions on a different footing, the bet
ter for her and for humanity"

SAN FRANCISCO, September 17.-John
Sbley Webb. attorney at Washington, d.
c., for the Alaska Commercial Company,
has made visit to Dawson and klondike
mining district for the sole purpose of in
forming himself of the conditions of living
there, and Alaska generally, in order that
he may speak and act understandingly
when matters affecting Alaska are dis
Cussed in Congress.
II have been all around the coast route,
as it is called, and up to Dawson" he said.
Il have visited the mining camps of b.
nanza creek and some of those on Edo
RADIO creek.
Dawson is low and fat and even in the
height of summer the ground is frozen half
foot below the surface and ice is en-
countered beneath the muck. The develop
ment of the creeks was followed by the
washing down into the river klondike and
thence into the Yukon above Dawson of
large quantities of filth and refuse. Sweep
ing by the very doors of the inhabitants of
Dawson, it is no wonder that there should
be sickness and death. In the little GEM
etery there there lay no less than twenty
victims of typhoid fever, and the number
has no doubt been increased considerably.
The drinking water at Dawson is very bad,
