The Cuban rachete.

Much has been said Of the terrible
machete. deadly weapon indeed in
the hands OF desperate man, and
when used against deienseless person.
The maohete was never intended for q
weapon OF warfare; II is an instrument
of husbandry carried by the Cuban
peasant In times Of peace. and is his
one familiar daily companion. II cuts
bis fire wood. aids him in building his
hut, hews his path through the mani
qua, and performs many other offices.
The machette is straight, heavy
blade about two feet long, with a
wooden or bone handle, having no
guard; consequently it Is utterly un-
suited as weapon to be used in con-
tiict with an armed man. The Cuban,
Of course, by reason Of his long famili-
arity with the instrument, Is an adept
In its use. and its effect upon q group
OF unarmed workmen is truly terrible.

work OF the machete has been done in

AS for Dawson City itself, Ii is nm
Questionably the greatest mining camp
in the world. Frank Canton, United
States deputy marshal In Circle City,
end in former years an officer OF the
peace In many of the largest camps Of
the West. has said that nothing he has
ever seen approaches Dawson as model
mining camp. Accustomed as he has
been to dealing with the toughest class
Of criminals, his commendation OF
Dawson. as law-abiding town, has
great weight. The sidewalks are crowd :
ed with men and women from morning
to night. People are even forced to
walk in the middle OF the streets to
make progress. II is a great jun BILE of
the good and the bad, and the only
pledge Of respectability required is
regular attendance at church. Daw-
sons population has grown until it is
now between 5000 and 10000.
Nine-tenths Of the newcomers are not
in the country to work, and when they
find that success In the Klondike can
only be bought by hard labor, they will
be ready to come out. A great exodus
of unsuccessful men will take place
this fall. and the cities Of the Pacific
coast, to which these people will 20,
will be overrun with a rough, desperate
and altogether undesirable class. They
