The Standard" says: IF. as we
haye difficulty to believe, Spain has
threatened to search suspected vessels
in Cuban waters in case filibustering
continues, it is quite certain that Senior
de Lone will be told that Spain would
do so at her own peril. 1t is highly
improba BILE that the United States will
declare war with Spain, but If may
recognize the Cubans as belligerants.
1t would then devolve upon Spain to
decide what retort to make to that
damaging movement. 1t appears,
therefore, that the grave risk of rup-
ture hehooves Spain to ask herself
what would be the result of hostilities
with America. We are thoroughly alive
to the courage and patriotism of Spain.
But she would be hopelessly over
matched in such a contest. Such
war would inevitably mean the loss of
Cuba after a costly and disastrous
struggle, which Spanish statesmsanhip
ought to do everything in it's power 10
avoid. We believe it is the idlest of
dreams to hope for assistance from any
European power"
The Chronicle" says: Neither
Spain nor the United States is likely
to yield and an accident may precipi-
tate events"
The Morning POST says if Senior Sa-
gasta consistently maintains his pres
ent attitude and adopts a more practi-
cal conduct of Cuban affairs he will
secure for Spain the sympathy of all
civilized nations

MONETARY COMMISSION.
It Will Be Ready TO Prepare It's
Report When It Reconvenes.

WASHINGTON. Oct 24.-When the
Monetary Commission reconvenes on
November Sd it will be ready to begin
the preparation of its currency measure
and the report that will accompany it.
The measure itself will not be one OF
great length, and it is probable that the
report, instead of attempting to give
digest of all the suggestions and teSu-
mony before the commission, will con-
fine itself to a clear statement of facts
and terse argument in support of the
measure agreed upon
The commission asked a number of
questions of financial experts and men
of large experience in financial affairs
The tenor Of the replies received is
conservative and demolisheS the rather
widespread notion that there is a de-
sire among men of this class for the
withdrawal of greenbacks and treasury
notes. One of the beSt-known finan-
ciers of the country said to the Associ-
ated Press representative in discussing
the work of the commission:
Il think the revenue and finance de-
partments of the Government should
be completely separated. Revenue is
one question, and the problem of cur

THE national banks should be per-
mitted to issue notes to the par value
Of the Government bonds held by them.
Canada has a fairly good system for
the regulation of bank circulation, and
If might be studied with profit. | do
not believe the American people are
prepared for the withdrawal of the
greenbacks or treasury notes nor will
they be until a Banking Act estab-
fishes an absolutely safe bank note cir
culation, and the people come to recog-
nize it as such Such a bank currency
must be national in character. 1t would
be idle to talk of a State bank issue
This country has had bitter experience
in that direction, and the people under

Although the Slough City team car
ried off the batting hOnors, the sharp
fielding of the Oaklanders prevented
them from getting more than three men
over the home plate. Two teams could
not have been more evenly matched.
Up to the sixth inning the score stood
) to 3. But the Reliance team, with
its usual run of good luck, had the
bases full when their opponents made
two costly errors, which cost them the
game.
The grounds were in poor condition,

What the Chief Constructor of the
Navy Says.
We Have a Hundred and Forty-0ne Vessels
All Told.
Considerable Work Has Been Sus-
pended for Lack of Funds, and
He Urges Improving Many Yard
Plants as a Matter of Economy
and Also the Construction OF
Docks for Battleships.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-In his an
nual report to the Secretary of the
Navy. Philip Hichborn, Chief Con-
structor of the Navy, says that the
strength of the navy on October lst
was 131 vessels all told. During the
| last few months of last fiscal year a
considerable amount of work upon yes
sells that had been authorized by Con-
gress had to be suspended, owing to
lack of funds. This caused a heavy
drain upon the new appropriations at
the beginning of the present fiscal year
and makes the exhaustion Of those ap-
propriations before the 1St of next July
almost an assured fact
Chief Hichborn says this is discour-
aging state of affairs, as the exhaustion
means a wholesale reduction of the
navy yard forces and the discharge of
competent and trained men. He points
to the advantage and economy of haV-
ing at least one vessel building at each
| important navy-yard.
Attention is called to the urgent need
of improving the navy-yard plants in
the interest of economical execution of
work, and estimates are submitted for
each yard.
| A plant at Puget Sound is said to be
| necessary.
| During the last year the Government
accepted finally four ships, the Massa-
chusetts, Oregon, Ericsson and Brook
| lyn, while eleven vessels have been ac-
cepted preliminarily and subject to
/ final tests, viz: Iowa, Nashville, VIII
mington, Helena, Annapolis, Vicksburg,
Newport, Wheeling, Marietta, Porter
! and Foote.
| Particular attention is invited to the
| good results attending the construction
of the Iowa OF the gunboats the re-
! port says their first cost was remark
ably low, aggregating $1,000 coo for the
nine or not more than the cost of the
! trSt-class armed cruiser The cost of
their maintenance. particularly with
copper bottoms and sail power should
| be a minimum.
| The Chief Constructor. who is charged
with the duty of docking ships, makes
an urgent plea for maintaining better
docks, stating that the navy has been
at a serious inconvenience during the
past six months for lack Of proper ia
cilities for docking battleships.
Chief Hichborn, under the head OF
armor, renews his suggestion that the
| department should no longer make sep
arate contracts for ships and their
armor, but should permit the ship
| builder to supply the armor.

The snow storm had partially ceased
after they met the Indians. Their sim
pie diet of dried salmon was not
enough to keep up their already wasted
energies and after another days trav-
cling they found they were confronted
with danger as great as ever. On the
second day after leaving the Indians
they ran out of food for the third time.
The trail was entirely covered with
snow and they We're unable to locate
the Dalton cache by the directions
given on the chart. They encamped IN
the woods and while one party went ont
in search of the trail, another started
out with a gun after food. They at last
obtained salmon in a small stream and
they had these for supper and out of
the scraps made breakfast the follow
ing day This was the last food they
tasted for three days with the excep-
tion of an owl which they shot and
made into soup.

ready to give up on the third day pass

ercise cf will power were they kept

real food they had had for nearly four
days.

ALLEGED THIEVES.
Three Captured on the Skaguay

SKAGUAY (Alaska), Oct. u (via

2D.-Three alleged thieves We're cap
tured Thursday on the Skaguay trail.
Their names are Charles O'Brien, John
s. Day and William Davidson. They
were formerly residents Of Seattle.
These men are charged with stealing
a quantity of provisions from Fred
Bernard. They latter found that a
cache on the trail had been robbed and
he tracked the thieves, found where
they had cached their plunder and set
a watch upon it.
A few days later O'Brien and Day
and Davidson appeared, opened the
cache and loaded the provisions on
their horses. Then Bernard and a num-
Der of companions seized the men and
took them down the trail few miles,
where twenty- five or thirty men de-
lated the fate Of their prisoners. Lynch
ing was fiercely argued by some, but
wiser counsel prevailed. and the men
were brought down and turned over
to the Deputy United States Marshal,
who placed them under a heavy guard.

innocence, and say that Bernard 5

and finished their journey over the
Dalton trail and Chilcoot Pass. They
encountered severe snow storms on the
trail and suffered great hardships.
Nearly all the restaurants are closed
at Dawson on account of a food short
age. Prices of provisions are not ad-
Yanced over regular prices, but the
company's stores are refusing to take
orders. More than half of the food in
the warehouses has been sold, but the
company refuses to distribute 1t, al
though it is paid for, until it is learned
for certain whether more provisions
will be brought up the river. In case
no more arrives the entire stock will
be rationed out among the residents
to prevent, if possible, privation. There
has been no starvation yet, but there
viii surely will be a shortage. People
are leaving daily. Up to September
4th one hundred had started for Fort
Yukon to try to get down the river to
Circle City and thence by steamer to
the United States. No new strikes
have been made at Dawson, and only
those owners that have food for their
men will be able to do much work
this winter.
The Stewart party met ten or twelve
boats day going down the river to-
ward Dawson. All of these travellers
had enough provisions to last them
through the winter.

TROUBLES OF PROSPECTORS.
THEY LOSE THE TRAIL AND
HAVE A HARD TIME.
Lost in a Blizzard and in Much
Danger of Suffering
Starvation.

SEATTLE, Oct. 24.-Only the meresU
chance and the lucky discovery of the
half-hidden trail by one of their num-
Der saved six members of a party head
ed by F. L. and julius Trippe from
horrible death by starvation on the
Dalton trail late in September.
The party was headed by the Trippe
brothers, formerly of Chicago. and in
cluded Charles Wilkes of Whatcom,
Charles D. Dugas from Juneau, John
Fricke of this city and w. Gillies of
Woodman, and a prospector living at
Fort Wrangle. They left Dawson for
the State in small steamer on August
18th, and after reaching Fort Selkirk
prepared their outfits for the long and
arduous journey over the Dalton trail.
week after leaving the Yukon Riv-
er they encountered deadly Alaskan
blizzard. The trail was covered with
snow until they lost their bearings.
Their provisions ran out, and after
cropping for three days through blind
ing snowstorm, they were finally res
cued by Indians and taken to Dalton's
trading post, where they were given
food.

the story they tell is not materially
different from the experiences encoun-
tered by men nearly every winter in
crossing the long, blizzard-swept range
Of country lying between Five Fingers
and the Chilkat Mountains.
AS related by one of the party, the
trip up the Yukon to Fort Selkirk was
without unusual incident. AT this place
they secured rough map of the route,
and with only about forty pounds o.
provisions each, they started over the
trail, leaving Fort Selkirk on Septem-'
Der 18th The weather was clear, and
there had been but little snow to oD-
struct the trail over the range. They
made good time for the first three
days, but soon found that they would
be unable to reach Dalton's cache be-
fore their provisions gave out. Their
only hope was to meet incoming pros
pectors and surveyors, from whom they
expected to secure enough food to take
them to the cache. On the third day
on the river it began showing, and the
wind was icy cold. They struggled
bravely on, until they reached Hootchai.
Here they met a party of four men,
and secured three days rations from
them
Again they started for Dalton's Post.
The snow was getting deeper, and
walking was extremely difficult. Soon
after leaving Hootchai they found it
impossible to keep the trail and fin
ally they found themselves wandering
aimlessly over barren snow-cOyer-d
wastes, their bearings gone and their
food exhausted.
Just as it seemed as if they We're des-

BAVARIAN DEMANDS.
They Are Causing Anxiety to the
German Government.

LONDON, Oct. 24.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Times" commenting
upon the demands of Deputy Ratt-
Finger and others in the Bavarian Diet
last Thursday for a denunciation of the
favored nation treaties with the United
States and Argentina and an increase
in the duties on cereals in the interest
of Bavarian agriculture, says:
The manifestation of strong pro-
tectionist tendencies in the Bavarian
Chamber cannot be regarded without
anxiety here The confession of the
Premier, Baron Won Crailsheim, that
Bavaria advocated an increase of du-
ties on grain showed that the policy of
Bismarck and the Peasants League
has already borne fruit This attitude
of Bavaria will not facilitate the task
of Baron Won Bulow, who will have to
defend in the Reichstag the results of
commercial negotiations with the Uni
ted States and England" "
