ROUTE OF THE SIBERIAN ROAD
TRAvERsEs A COLD AND BAR
REM REGION.
Austrian Nobleman's Perilous Trip
Over the Line-A Region Rich In
Gold-Damage by Floods.

Vancouver. B. c., Nov. 1S.-Count John
Thun of Austria, who has arrived here
from Japan. came across Asia over the
route FRONT he trans-Siberian railroad. He
left Moscow last May. For some 200 versts
beyond Irkutsk the journey was full of
great peril, and it required nine days and
nights of hard travelling, sometimes
mounted, but a, greater part Of the time
afoot to encompass the distance. Work
upon this part of the road had been well
advanced a year or so ago, but an era of
unprecedented storms set in and embank-
Tnents and bridges to the amount OF about
900, 600 roubieS were washed away. The
work of restoring them during the past
summer was greatly interfered with by
swarns OF insects and other pests, which
made 1t impossible for the men to work.
Count Thun says it is intensely cold all
along the line of the road, and, for the
most part. a barren and utterly desolate
country. a region some 200 versts in ex
tent in each direction north of Manchuria,
in China, is undoubtedly fun of almost
inexhaustible gold fields, but the extreme
cold will not permit them to be worked
for more than three months in the year.
The road will, he thinks, be completed in
about two years time, and will be val
liable chiefly in the movement of SOL
diers

TRADE OF HAWAII.

monopoly.
Washington, Nov. 1S.-The state de-
partment has published report of the
British foreign office in regard to the
commerce of Hawaii in 1897, from
which it appears that of the total i'm
ports of the islands, the United States
contributed 76.S per cent; Great Britain,
Canada and the colonies together, Il. 80
per cent. the balance being distributed
about equally between Germany, China,
Japan and other countries. OF the ex-
ports, 1852 per cent went to the United
States, sugar representing SO per cent
of the total. a part from sugar, the
chief articles of export were rice, hides,
skins. wool, coffee and fruits. The value
of the imports into Hawaii in 1897 was
1851, O41, an increase of S1,679,S77 over
1896. and the value of the exports is
S16. OS1, 905, a gain of $50S. AIS. The in
crease in imports was especially marked
in the case of provisions, wearing APP
parel, hardware. agricultural imple-
ments and machinery. The increase in
exports was due. mainly, to an in
creased output Of sugar, all Of which
went to the United States.
The cultivation of coffee is extend
ing but up to the present time no large
estates have been opened, the area
planted being made up Of a number of
small holdings. In addition there is a
fair area, of what is known as wild
coffee-that is, coffee which has not
been scientifically planted or subjected
to the more approved methods of prun-
ing. etc, but which has been allowed to
grow almost wild. The export of coffee
in 1887 was 337.15S pounds, or nearly
6oilble that of 1896.

RAISING sPANIsH eUNBoAEs.
Admiral Dewey Will Save Three
Good Vessels at Manila.

GSOd SSSSlS at MdD1lG.
Washington Nov. 1S.-The United
States navy will soon possess more than
a spriRkling of foreign built warships.
Admiral Dewey has informed the navy
department that he has contracted with
q. Hongkong firm of wreckers to raise
three of the Spanish war vessels sunk
in the battle of Manila last May day.
The cost of raising the ships and put
ting them in thorough repair will be
$500 GOO. The vessels to be raised are
gunboats Of large type, and, in the
opinion Of Chief Constructor Hichborn,
they will be the very best kind of craft
for the protection of the United States
interests in the Philippines and along
the Asiatic coast They are the sister
ships Isla de Cuba and Isla de Luzon
and the Don Juan de Austria. The first
two are vessels of 1,040 tons, 200 feet
long, 80 feet beam and II feet inches
draft They are Of steel, with twin
screws, good protective decks and an
excellent battery, composed of 81 Hon
toria guns, four 6-pOunders, two i
FOUNDER Nordenfeldts and two .5S-inch
Nordenfeldts and three torpedo tubes.
Their speed is placed at fifteen knots
under forced draugnt.
The Austria is q little larger: her tom
mage being 1852, her length 2l0 feet,
3E-1eet De2In ana lZ.b GEauSnC. Sne was
built in Cartagena in 1887 The other
two vessels were built by Sir William
Armstrong at Elswick in 1886. The
Austria's armament is four 4.7-inch
Hontorias, four 6-pounders, one ma
chine gun and two torpedo tubes.
Besides these vessels there are al
ready in the United States navy the
New Orleans, the Albany, the Topeka,
the Manley, the Somers, the Alvarado,
the Leyte and the Sandoval, all of for
eign build, some captured and some
purchased during the late war.
The work OF raising the three Spanish
vessels in Manila bay is to be con-

from the United States. A strange fea-
ture is that the Cuban negroes are
even more bitter than the whites in
denouncing the movement.
The Cuban army will receive one
years pay on Dec. 10. Notes for~ the
balance due will be issued, and the
troops will then be disbanded. This in
formation comes from an officer of
General Garcia's personal staff, in
whose word implicit confidence may be
placed. From what source the money
will come cannot be stated, but that
the United States has guaranteed the
loan is almost certain.
