KLONDIKE PINCHING OUT.
A Mining Engineer Says That II Is
short Lived.

San Francisco, Sept. captain John
McCafierty, eX-collector of customs for
Alaska and mining engineer by PROBES
sion, has arrived here from Dawson City.
His summing up of his experience is
that the gold placer digglngs of Alaska
are short lived and that there are no true
assure veins in that territory because
the country is too much broken up and
because the geological indications are
such as to warrant the conviction that
there is no gold bearing quartz in place
Large broken deposits of gold or bonan-
zas may be found there, but they will be
of the nature of pockets and will not
last.
The most surprising opinion expressed
by him is that the present diggings are
on the point of being worked out and
that many of them bave barely paid ex-

There is a capacity of 100000 in the
tents of Camp Sherman. and it is well
filled as we'll as the smaller camps; but
the committee on quarters has unlimited

day by the peace jubilee. The National
Naval association gave a grand parade
this morning. Tomorrow the G. A. Il.
men give their annual parade and Thurs

here. Commodore William L. Atkins Of

naval arrangements, has had 40 opposi-

SAN JUAN.
Big Movement Upon Porto Rico to BE
Begun at Once-The Town Will Be
BOmbarded by Adm. Sampson.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The more i'm
portant movement now under way is
the taking of Han Juan, Porto Rico
Commodore Schley, with his flying
squadron, will remain off the harbor
of Santiago and may bonn bard the
town. The fleet of Sampson will,
however, renew the attack on San
Juan, and it will be accompanied by
an army of Is, 600 or 20, 600 men.
This army may be led by Gen. Miles
himself. Already there is assemble
at Tampa the best contingent Of the
regular army, and in the harbor is a
fleet of 16 ocean transports carrying
from 900 to 1900 men each. This ca
pacity will transport with reasonable
comfort an army of $4,000 men.
1t is the hope to capture San
Juan and occupy it with the
army of the United States
before the much talked-of Cadiz fleet
can reach American waters. The idea
is to have the forces of the regular
army accompany Sampson, to be re-
ieved by the volunteers after the forti-
ications shall have been reduced and
the town of San Juan occupied.
