There will be KIondike reaction. A
majority Of the adventurous men now
struggling to get into the upper Yukon
country are pitably untitled for the
hard~hips they must encounter After
butfeting with cold, hunger and sick
ness, they will lose heart and see the
country at its darkest These men will
return in very large numbers, and
whether the country be rich or poor,
will reeite a doleful plant.

saws the historian Bancroft, "men dis
appointed and sick, kept coming down to
San Francisco, cursing the country and
their hard fate. Indeed there were not
many among the returning crowd, rich
or poor, who could present a respectable
appearance. They were ragged, sun

unshorn bear'ls and long tangled hair;
some shoeless, with their feet bIis,ered
and bandaged."

Ii has been discovered that a naval at
tache nf the Spanish legation at Wash
ington has been secrstly making an in
spection of the defenses OF number Of
southern cities. He went down there
under an assumed name and visited all
the notifications. Acting in a suspIc-
lous manner he attracted attention and
an investigation disclosed his identity.
1t is said this government will demand
his recall. It would be better to kick
the entire Spanish contingent out Of
Washington and bring things to a head.
Th're is no doubt that the legation was
responsible for the mans action, and
that it in turn act ed under orders from
Madrid. We have been talking for a
long time about policy with respect to
Cuba that might lead Spain to UNDER
take to wage war against us, and il that
government is preparing for a struggle
