der to suit the aims of its encreaching
policy in the West Indies.
TT is an open secret that the note
has caused surprise and displeasure in
official circles, because the government
had hoped that President Mckinley
and Secretary Sherman would refrain
from increasing the embarrassment of
the situation in Spain in consideration
of all the concessions already made to
Cuba.
''The government will delay replying
to the note for several weeks, as the
United States took nearly two months
to reply to the Spanish note. When
it does reply, Senior Sagasta viii rebut
the arguments OF the note in a friendly
but firm tone. The government cannot
longer risk the accusation of not being
in touch with national feeling, which
is getting very weary of American in
reference. The Spaniards think the
note gives them an excellent oppor-
tunity to reply to criticism, which nat
urally could not be challenged or no
ticed'
The Madrid correspondent of the
Daily Mail says: General Woodford's
note differs greatly from the first he
presented and contains several state
ments that should be refuted. 1t is
inspired, on the whole, BIZ the senti-
ments pervading President Mckinley S
message. Senior Gullon, the minister of
foreign affairs will reply, strayersing the
points raised.

a Quagnire In Summer and God
forsaken In Winter.


James R. Keene has received a. letter
from an expert mining engineer, who,
with an assistant, was sent TO the Klon-
dixie region last fall by Mr.. Keene and
other capitalists to investigate and re-
port on the situation there, says the
Rawlins CNyo) Journal. Mr.. keene
asked that the name of the writer.
wei known mining expert, be withheld,
as it might defeat the object for which
he was sent if it were made known. The
letter is written on rough, brown paper,
for, as the writer explains, no stationery
is obrainable at Dawson. The letter, III
part, follows:
A more -God-forsaken place you never

A SONS HORRIBLE DISCOVERY
WHAT HARVEY NEW SAW ON A
CHRISTMAS CALL.
His Aged Father and Mother Shot to
Death By An Unknown Assassin
Near Jacksonville, Pa.

Indiana. Pa, Dec 26.-Milton New
and his aged wife were shot to death
by an unknown assassin at their home
near Jacksonville, nine miles southwest
of here, some time during Christmas
Their bodies were found at 8 O'CLOCK
that night by their son, Harry, who
was passing the house, and stopped TO
pay a Christmas call on his parents.
Neal was one of the most prominent
and prosperous farmers in the vicinity
in which he lived. Officers are today
securing the country for the murderer,
hut as vet he has not been found.
When young Neal tried to enter his
parents house, he found the doors
locked. He forced his way in through
the cellar and on entering the sitting
room a horrible sight met him. In
chair near the window lay the form of
his mother, her face entirely blown
away. At her feet was all that re
manned of her husband and ghastly
hole in the side of his head told the
tale of his murder AT his side lay a
double barreled shotgun, the implement
of death. All the walls, ceiling and ar
ticles of furniture in the room were
shattered with blood, and on the ceiling
was a good-sized dent, in which was
imbedded a piece of the woman's skull.
For 2 time there was a suspicion OF
suicide. but as the facts in the case
developed, the murder theory gained
strength. The woman was killed with
bird shot, the husband with buckshot.
There was no marks of powder on his
face. something which, it is said, would
have been Impossible to avoid had sui
eide been with a shotgun. There is
nothing to indicate that the crime was
committed for plumber, as in Mr. Near
pocket was SO bill and $40 bill lay
on top of the dresser. The friends say
they have a clue which they will at
once begin work on to trace down the
murderer

DESPERATE STRAITS OF MEN IN DAWSON

rived here from Skaguay and Dyea, Alas
ka, We're six men who recently left Daw-

The men are Frank BalIaine John Lind

and 2. j. Holland
Coniicting statements as to the food
Situation ii Dawson are made by these
men. Lindsay asserts with great positive
ness that want already exists at Dawson
and that unless food is taken into the
camp from the coast, men will suffer from
hunger.
BaIlaine. Bradley Gwinn and Holland
say that there is more alarm outside con-
cernin- the Dawson people than is felt
by the residents of that place. They
agree that there is no food to be bought
in Dawson except where a man is found
coming out of the country and with more
grub thar he could use on the way up
the river They say, however, that ex-
ce2t for the fact that some of the men

son.
Between Pelly river and Dyeat the party
passed hundreds of camps where snow
and ice-bound Klondikers have camDed

equipped with provisions, and by paying

procure -four and other necessaries-
From Five Fingers the Yukon IS a
frozen mass of ice boulders, running as
high as Y feet, blocking the canyon from

This. it IS asserted, will have to be cut
through by any government or other re-

/ son from the coast. and the belief ex-
pressed by Ballaipe was that this task
would practically make futile almost any
/ effort put forth by the government at

WATCHING A FrLIBUsTER.
But It's Good Bet That the Smith
Gets Out.

Gets Out.
Mobile Ala, Dec EFF Pilot Boat
Somers n. Smith of Pensacola, gets out
of this port with flibustering expe-
dition she will have to run over the
cutter Seward in the river, and
a cruiser on the bar. The
Smith was here in August last, was
locked and blackleaded, had a. speed
wheel put in and also took off the figure
8 from her smokestack, and went to
sea at night, bound, rumor afterwards
said, to Cuba with so men on board and
a lot of arms and ammunition
No trace of this expedition was after
ward found, however, and William
Brazzel, commodore of the Pensacola
Pilots association, presumably the
owner of the tug, denied enlphatically
that the Smith was in se4le flbustering
business. Two weeks ago the tug re-
appeared in Pensacola and came imme-
diately under suspicion, the papers
there saying the cruiser Montgomery
was on watch over her The papers
also said the Smith needed docking for
repairs. but that the Mobile docks were
too busy to take her. Nevertheless she
arrived here Thursday and went on the
Mobile ways at the foot of Augusta
street, to be repaired. The manager of
the ways said the paint on her does
not need renewing and is just as good
as when put on four months ago. She
is said to have been followed as far as
this port by the cruiser Montgomery.

through Mobile last night, and the col

No Truth In Story That a Demand
Rad Been Made.

Had Been Made.
Washington. Dec. 26.-Secretary of
State Sherman was seen tonight re-
g&rding story cabled from Madrid to
the effect that the United States had
demanded OF Spain SS,O00,000 indemnity
to American traders for damages sus-
tanned through the rebellion in Cuba.
The secretary stated that if any such
demand had been made he had not
heard of it.
Judge Day, assistant secretary Of
state. said:
so far as I know there is abso-
lutely nothing in the story Somebody
may have attempted to foot up all the
individual claims that have been filed,
but even on that supposition, I should
not attempt to say their estimate was
correct .
At the Spanish legation it was said
that no information had been received
of any such action. The legation here
has heretofore been notified of the fling
of all individual claims, but it was
thought improbable that any claim in
bulk would be made
