MEN WE'RE DECEIVED.

These men complain bitterly against
the Edmonton and Chicago schemers,
who induced them to attempt this aw-
full trail into the Klondike country. Its
hardships have never been told. Jones
brought back letters from Chicago men
who are Winter-bOun at the Rat river
crossing, telling their families that
there is no hope, but they must stay
there this coming winter. Jones and
Rea, by reason of their light boat, got
over the Rat river portage. Then they
struck the West Rat, Nand were again
going down stream. They ran to the
Bell river, then into PorcuDine creek,
then into the Yukon, and at last were
safe, after their long, hard, trying tray
els, at Fort Yukon, where Jones said
goodbye to Rea, who went up the Yu-
kon to the Klondike. Jones then came
down the Yukon and took boat for Sc
attic, after experiencing what he, with
some justice. calls a rather lively
time" Jones says he will print a book
about it some day. He also adds that
he is going to Siberia next year to catch
Russian crown sables. He says he is
going to start a sable farm on an island
in the Aleutian group, and raise Shout

They began to move along. They were
making about twelve to fifteen miles a
day, and the problem was solved. They
were led on little behind the dog sled,
and the shepherd dogs saw to it that
they did not lag too long. Hour after
hour the wolves followed along after
them, waiting for their chance at the
slow caravan, and time after time the
men had to stop and kill them One
day they turned into their lodge, worn
out and in need of sleep. A few hours
after they awoke and went outside to
where they had left the calves.
CALVES ARE KILLED.
There they lay, still tied, but each
one was still and silent. Wide red stains
on the snow told the story. The throat
of each calf had been cut. Nearby were
the tracks of snowshoes, fifteen in ALL
A curious, ugly, short-bladed knife,
bit of steel fastened to a long curving
bone, lay on the snow beside the calves.
Over all the wide white surface Of tAe
plain not a human figure was visible.
The wolves now gathered in, not to De
denied The end of the hunt had come.
Superstition had thwarted pluck, and
so robbed daring undertaking of Its
most valuable fruit.
Jones wanted to go back again, but
Rea. would not hear to this. He point
ed out that they had been out seven
teen days with no food but caribou
meat, and that they were nearly out of
ammunition. He said he was game,
but did not want to commit suicide. so,
with much reluctance, they headed
back for the camp on Artillery lake.
They went on still farther toward
Great Slave lake, which to them seemed
like home They lost four dogs through
hydrophobia, caused by the bite of the
wolves, which continually fought their
dogs at night about the camps. They
We're gaunt and weary themselves when
they got back to the shores of the
Great Slave and reached their winter
cabin. 1t was now spring, but the ice
of the great waterway had not moved.
1t was July before they could take
boat for their long journey home.
Rea wanted to go to the Klond1ke.
! and said he would accompany Jones
down the Mackenzie and into the Yu-
kon. They sailed 425 miles across Great
Slave lake, and made good time down
the Great Bear waters. AT Fort Nor

The Lesson of Cardena..
From the Kansas City Star0


The repulse of the Winslow was q dis
aster such as may be expected any day.
while war is in progress, but it decided
nothing in particular. Because a small
torpedo boat attacking three Spanish
gunboats and shore batteries of un-
known strength was struck by one shell
out of hundreds fired, and had five men
killed and several wounded and was COM
PEELED to retire, does not prove that a
landing of American troops on the coast
OF Cuba, under cover of the guns of a
strong naval force. would be impossible
or even difficult. Such landing would
probably not be attempted at a fortified
point. though nothing has yet happened
to show that it would not be successful
even then.
The attempt at Cardenas illustrated
the confidence, perhaps the over-confi-
dence. of the American sailor He rates
the Americans more than match-man
for man. ship for ship and gun for gun
for the Spanish, and is willing TO give
odds and take chances. This sort of
courage. however admirable in its way.
is not called for in the present conflict.
We have not gone to war simply to show
our courage. but to achieve definite re-
ts.-The object of every movement by
land or water should be to bring about the
desired end In as short period of time
as possible. Wherever force is used II
should be presented in overwhelming
strength. If the destruction of the gum
boats and shore batteries at Cardenas
was necessary or expedient, It should
have been accomplished by ships whose
fire would have reduced the opposition
to dust and sDlinters. The American
popular idea is that this is not to be a
war Of experiments, but of accomplish
ments.

The Inconsistency of refusing-or de-
laying which amounts to the same thing
"a pardon to Capt. John d. Hart while
We are trying to wage war 20 free Cuba
is gross and palpable. Hart was con-
victed of having exposed his life and
ventured his fortunes upon the enter
prise of driving the Spaniards into the
sea and compelling their surrender of
their colony. The United States of
America undertook 10 punish him for
that. 1t tried and convicted him In its
own court before one OF those convenient
juries for which United States courts are
famous. II denied him a second trial. al
though many good lawyers believed him
entitled to it in consequence of judicial
errors committed at the first one. 1t
locked him up in the Eastern Peniten-
1iary Of Pennsylvania. where he now is.
Then the United States undertook to
drive the same Spaniards into the sea
whom Hart had failed to Danish. We
have not done much toward It at present
writing. and We have not done what we
should have begun with, namely, liberated
the Cuban sympathizer who is behind our
own prison bars. In fact our Executive
rather acts as though he feels glad that
he has got one Cuban safe and secure
anyhow.
Congress has requested Hart's pardon:

cy and sincerity plead for its immediate
granting. If this culprit has committed a
crime in levying war against Spain Will
liam Mckinley is today committing the

persons interested in the triumph of

that the person who could successfully
answer the aspersions upon his good

DENYING A GERMAN REQUEST
Gustavo Book Will Not BE Allowed

Gustavo Book Will Not BE Allowed
to Pass the American Blockade.
| Gustavo Book, the wealthy Havana
cigarmaker, who is now in Key West
using every effort TO get through the
blockade into Havana, will not be per-
mited to go. Mr.. Book is alleged to be
a colonel of Spanish volunteers. He is
| native Of Germany and still claims
German citizenship, in spite Of his al
legged service in the Spanish volunteers
and the Havana fire department He has
brought all the influence Of the German
government to bear upon the Admins
triton in his effort to ge Through the
blockade. The secretary of the German
embassy called at the Navy Department
yesterday and urged Mr.. Books re-
quest before Secretary Long. who
promised to take the matter under con-
sideration.
Secretary Long reached a decision
later in the day, based on reprots OF
government officials in Key West, and
telegraphed Commodore Remey, in
command of the naval station at Key
West, instructing him that Mr.. Book
should not be allowed to pass through
the blockade. Information which the
Secretary received from Key West as to
Mr. Books pro-Spanish sympathies and
his close relations with Spanish officials
in Havana, convinced Secretary Long
that it would be very dangerous to al
low him to return to Havana.
Naval officers are very much pleased
at the decision of the Secretary. They
believe the blockade should be effective
ly maintained, and that no one should
be allowed to enter Havana who might,
even innocently and inadvertently, give
information to Gen. Blanco and his Of
ficers. What they heard of Mr.. Book
leads them to believe this Government
might as well allow Spanish spy to
pass through the blockade as to per-
nit Mr.. Book to go.

Bob Fitzsimmons talked all through the week
Of his engagement in Boston. but that is all
that it amounted to. Talk is cheap, and in many
respects Fitzsimmons is also. Fitzsimmons de-
pends on the newspapers, and when the news
papers are so busy that his wild sayings are not
reported, the champion is without an occupa-
tion. In the old days pugilists fought; now they
talk. Fitzsimmons, it should be said, is fine
exponent of the talking gladiator.
