Fields.

Seattle, Wash, December 26.-The steam-

Dawson City has materially decreased, it
being now estimated at 5000. Cost of
living has also decreased, good meat cost

lessness in Havana.

Havana, December 26.-The United States
troops began last evening a regplar patrol

ever passed in comparative quiet.

General Castellanos prohibiting crowds
from assembling in the streets has been
generally observed. Saturday night there
was some disturbance, said to have been
caused by liquor in Montserrat Place. A
shot was fired about midnight from roof

were returned at figures vaguely seen on

Christmas at Camp Quemados was as
lively as the troops could make it with slen-

heat at summer temperature and the
hedge rows brilliant with flowers, the day
did not seem much like Christmas.

Christmas Presents from All Over the
Country Sent to the President.

and ylost of the private houses also. AT
the whitehouse the day was rather quiet

persons.
Christmas presents have been received at
the whitehouse from many parts OF the

in a pretty cage decorated with ribbons and
began to sing Immediately upon being TAX

THE SHIPS WERE PREPARED
To Engage in Battle When Spanish
Fleet Emerged from Harbor at San
tiago-Would Have Been Detri-
ment to Have Engines Coupled.

New York, December 26.-Captain Chad
wick, of the cruiser New York, flagship,
now lying off Tompkinsville, gave out "a
statement today denying all allegations
made in an article published in the Engin-
eering Magazine. In the article referred
to statements were made to the effect that
the United States war ships that destroyed
Cervera's S fleet at Santiago July were really
not in proper state of preparedness when
the Spanish fleet passed out through the
channel and attempted to escape. Engines
were uncoupled and, it was stated, boilers
were either empty or full of salt water and
the CRATES were cold.
Captain Chadwick says:
1.-THE New York and Brooklyn have four
engines, all of which together can only be
used to advantage with full power The
New York was using forty-five tons of coal
day on the blockade, as it was. 1t was
the practice to keep steam four of the
six boilers, a fifth filled with water kept
hot by the hydrokineter and primed ready
for firing and a sixth cleaning. This was
the condition the day of the action. The
sixth boiler as were all the rest, were filled
with fresh not salt water. To have kept
all the engines coupled would have occa-
stoned an expenditure of coal which would
have forced the New York from her station
as it did others. AS it was she was hang
ing on by her eyelds, so to speak, avoid
ing as long as possible going TO Guantan-
amo for coal. The use of her engines
coupled and the Brooklyn's before the mo-
ment of full power, would have been a
very serious detriment and after full power
was on it would have been absurd to have
stopped to couple when going sixteen or
seventeen knots and thus lose from four
to five miles when it was so clearly appar-
ent that the chase was being rapidly over
hauled. Stringent orders existed regard
ing the use of fresh water In all ships; It
was not singular to the Oregon. The New
York never had any but fresh water In
her boilers and circular order of Admiral
Simpsons of May % covered this mat
ter in great detail. If full steam had been
kept at all times 1t would simply have
meant more ships off their stations and less
force to meet the enemy. 1t would have
been a foolish thing to do from any point
of view, particularly from the engineering
as projecting continuously into the con-
densers high pressure, would have been
most injurious to them.'

ness has brought to standstill the political
crisis and the negotiations for the reorgani-

minister of war, because they fear he will
aspire to succeed sagasta as leader of the
party
Ell Liberal publishes an interview with
Weyler in the course of which he is rep
resented as declining to give any informa-
ton regarding the crisis, but as insisting
upon the necessity for strong government.

drawn from a party led by Senor Silvela.

would run great risks unless power were
placed in the hands of a Sagasta- -Weyler
coalition government.

advances upon Philippine and Cuban bonds,
