 Captain Sampson received an As sociated Press correspondent immedi- ately after the morning session of the board. He said in the course of an interview: 'I would be glad to give the Associated Press news, but owing to the delicate situation the board has decided to make nothing whatever public. l do not know what the tes- timony may develop, and then it is fair to the Spanish government not to tell the public the testimony until all has been received and the findings have been considered. You may say that taken for the rigid enforcement of it and all stories purporting to come from the court should be set down as false. I have no idea as to how long the court will remain here. No one is authorized to fix a time, as the mem bers themselves do not know. l shall give the Associated Press such news as is proper
 Captain Sigsbee, on board the Maj grove, told the correspondent that he was quite pleased with the examina tion and that he was able to answer all questions asked, not only as to his own acts, but as to those of subor- dinates on the Maine.
 There was no sign of a disturbance here today, and carnival week is ap- parently closing with perfect quiet, there being much less excitement than usual.
 Gunner Charles Morgan of the cruiser New York arrived on the Man grove and is in immediate charge of the divers. The latter have been at work all day, but up to the time Of sending this dispatch no discoveries of importance have been made. It is believed that the salvage by the wreck ing company will be consideTab and valuable.
 Today ninety-fve officers and $50 sick soldiers started on their return to Spain. Several sugar estates in Guam tanago district have commenced grinding cane.

NOT A FLATTER1NG OUTLOOK.
More Men in Alaska Than There Is
 Room For.

The outlook in Alaska is by no According to a letter received the other day by John R. Kersting, the Seventh avenue blacksmith, from his brother, H. B. Kersting, there is hard ly so desirable a location on the face of the earth to avoid by a man who wants to make money. MT. Kersting left here early in January and his let ter is dated from Dyea, January 31 He writes: 'I have got here all ON K, but have not received my freight and baggage yet. The wind is blow ing a gale and it cannot be landed. On the way up we stopped in Juneau six hours. That town is no good There are hundreds of idle men there I was at Skaguay six hours. There are not less than 1000 idle men. Town lots, squatters' rights, are sell ing at $3,500. Everything is over done there and is worse in that re- spect than Phoenix There are in Dyea 1,500 men with lIouIlpg to do, willing to do anything at any price.
  Blacksmithing is no good here There are ten shops in town. Lots are worth about $1,500, but everything else is cheap. Lodging can be had at 25~ cents night and meals at 50 cents About 400 tons of baggage and 5000 men are now on the trail. We have iot7aecided what to do until we get our baggage. We may have more of some things tha1 we need and not enough of others, bHt~-sS can buy as cheap here as we did in Seattle. with the freight added. Our prospecfing this spring will be slim. We find that at the, most we cannot carry more than 400 pounds of baggage on sled, and in order to get to the grounds 100 miles dis live have to make journey of 800 miles. win cross the pass, go down the river sixty miles to good lumber camp and make rafts or boats On which we will travel, arriving in the gold fields about June 1. Two men were killed at Skaguay last night"

THIRTY LIVES LOST.
Ice Fishermen at Buffalo Blown Into
 the Lake,

Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. 21-A number of nine and thirty, who were fishing through the ice on Lake Erie, several miles up the lake, are believed to have lost their lives or are adrift on the ice on the lake. A heavy wind blowing from the east caused the ice to break away from the shore, and nothing can now be seen or heard of the men. A large rescue party is on it's way through a blinding snow storm up the lake shore, but will not return before morning.

AN AVALANCHE OF STONE.
A Limestone Hill at Carlin, Pa, Sud-
 denly Slid Into the Valley.

Hollidaysburg, Pa., Feb. 21.-An extraordinary avalanche of stone was set in motion at Carlin, fifteen miles south of this place yesterday. A solid limestone hill, 175 feet high, 100 feet long and 125 feet deep, moved from it's base and went crashing into the valley below. It is estimated that there were 150, ,000 tons of loose rock in the avalanche, and the noise was heard for many miles. The Hungarians who worked in the quarries there were away on an excursion, and a possible loss of life was thus averted

The Imparcial Has Heard of the Stir
 on This Side.

Madrid, Feb. 21.-An official agency says: "The Imparcial publishes a dis patch for which it must assume the full responsibility, as it does not ac- cord with the relations actually known to exist between the Spanish and American governments. It is dated from New York and reads: Great military preparations are being made. Forts are being reinforced. Three hundred artillerymen have been sent to Sandy Hook and naval reserves have been expected to hold themselves in readiness.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The social courtesies which the government in tended to extend to the officers of the Spanish warship Vizcaya have been abandoned on account of the Maine case. The result of the stay of the Vizcaya in New York probably will be materially shortened and she is likely to sail within the next three days. The ship probably will proceed direct to Havana, not stopping at Charleston or other ports, as had been suggested during the earlier prepara- tions

JEWELED IN BARBARIC STYLE
Chains, Buckles, Bracelets and Ear
rings Worn in Profusion

Gems and trinkets are more in evidence at
present than for many seasons past. In
deed, this species OF decoration has reached
such pitch that in order to be strictly fash
iorable the up-to-date girl must load her
self in a way suggestive of oriental splendor.
Diamonds take the lead in precious stones,
and of all ornaments none for evening wear
is regarded as more essential than dia
|mond agrette for the hair. The wing pat
tern appears to be the favorite just now,
Though sprays of flowers are also greatly i'll
vogue. The bowknot, so popular in en-
broidery and applique work. makes pretty
diamond ornament for the hair. Side combs
are more jeweed than ever, the latest de-
sign consisting of diamond walls of Troy
on the edge of the comb. Both bracelets
and earrings being again in favor, many
handsome and novel specimens of this sort
are to be seen. Turquoises, diamonds and
pearls, either singly or combined, are the
stones most used for bracelets and ear
rings
The latest novelty in corsage decoration
is smaller chain of gold, so much shorter
than that which we have been wearing that
it only reaches the decolletage, and to which
is attached a round empire ornament in
hligree Buckles increase in size and cost
illness and are much worn on all varieties of
gowns. Buttons really come under the head
of jewelry nowadays. A big consideration in
trinkets nowadays is the jeweled muff chain.
A novelty in these is one entirely of jewels
set transparently in invisible frames. Of
all chatelaine developments that the world
has seen since chatelanes became fashion
able the most elaborate consists of a gold
rope cord suspended from the waist, to
which is attached finely lattced gold web
bing, dotted all over with small diamonds,
while at the opening of the small sack is
spray OF flowers in diamonds and pearls.
