son which will have to remain near

location is about three miles outside in
the hills, which are as healthy as the
hill country Of Ohio or Virginia. There
is a spring at the place referred to call
ed Ojo dc vaca, or the cows eye, that
runs q tremendous stream at all seasons
Of the year. Its water Is beautifully
clear and almost Ice cold.
The entire province Of Santiago Is
noted for its magnificent flowing springs.

was expended In the bombardment OF
Santiago. but apparently 1t has not
checked Spanish activity on the earth

guns.
Lieutenant Commander Delehanty,
with the gunboat Suwanee, armed 5000
Cubans with rifles. ammunition and
machetes, q quantity of medicine and
several tons Of bread and bacon. The
Cubans are very active. expressing the
greatest confidence and promising to
maintain q close blockade Of Santiago
on the land side. Strict supervision is
exercised In the landing of arms and
supplies. and nothing is given to an In
surgent camp beyond what 1t can sue

force. The insurgents represent that
their numbers are rapidly increasing.
Certainly they have evidenced their

of the railway and telegraph tsrmini.
They say that they watched Mondays
bombardment from the hills at the rear

iarde were killed and several guns dis
mounted. Terrible execution was
wrought by the 12-inch shells Of the

Coroner Morgan returned last
night from holding an inquest on the
Carlin suicide. The only evidence of
importance adduced at the inquest
was that OF L. Ackland who had Just
left the house where he and Henigan
were living after some coal. When
getting the coal he heard the report
OF a pistol and on listening heard
Henigan call hun. As he entered
the kitchen, Henigan said @Good bye,
Larry" Ackland ran to the bed
room, but just before he got Gh.re
Henigan fred another shot and fell
upon tue floor dead, Ackland i'm
mediately gave the alarm.
The verdict of the jury was that
the name of the deceased was John
L. Henigan, a native of California,
aged about So years, and that he
came to his death by shooting him
self in the head with a pistol with
suicidal intent.
The deceased had been great
sufferer from rheumatism for years
and has threatened to commit sui
eide at different times. Friends had
dissuaded him from this purpose, but
believing that he was burden to his
brothers he finally carried out his in
tentions and took his life.
The deceased leaves two brothers in
Carin and father living somewhere
in California.

The Electrical and Mining Review
has the following in regard to the ac-
tual amount Of money in this coun-
try:
The exact amount OF money in the
United States is Sl,939, 456,I52. or
that amount there is in circulation
S1.TO6, 49,, 904 and in the treasury
S232, 72S,2g9. There are in coined
metals the following amounts: Gold,
S79?, 66l, 2l6; silver, S15O.829, 452. Tho
balance consists of paper, greenbacks
treasury notes, silver certificates and
national bank notes. These are not
the official figures, for the official
tables, strange though it may seem,
are not correct, the figures in some
instances being duplicated. For in
stance, the standard silver dollars are
counted and put in the table; then
the silver certificates outstanding
against these very dollars are added,
thus giving real money value to the
certificates which does not exist. for
they must be redeemed by the silver
dollars.

DOGS FOR THE KLONDlKE.
Are Being Gathered in All the Large

The Klondike will open up a new
field of usefulness for the dog. In
Seattle an enterprise is on foot to es-
tablish a dog nursery, where the ami
,mals will be trained for the Alaska
service and then sent there and sold
to the miners. 1t is believed that the
dogs will solve the vexed problem of
transportation, says the New York
Journal.
EX-Mayor Black and J. B. Powles, of
Seattle, who are behind the enterprise,
are gathering dogs in Chicago, st.
Paul and other cities. The first car
load of 220 picked animals has already
arrived in Seattle. They have been
gathered with a view of doing packing
and sled drawing over the Alaska trails.
No spanials or other sporting dogs
have been secured, but only the hard
footed, long-haired breeds, that will
weigh fl ON 60 to 70 pounds each.
Our object said Mr.. Powles, ain
bringing the dogs to Seattle now is to
give them a good training. They will
be placed in charge Of Oscar Jones,
who has charge of the Seattle kennels.
We expect to sell the dogs, and house
and train them from now until spring.

A Man OF Family Pride Who RIct with
Surprise.
A Washington man who prides him
self upon his family connections is just
recovering from an attack of nervous
prostration, says the Star. This man
lately became possessed of the idea of
constructing family tree, feeling as
sured he could produce growth that
would dwarf the giants of the Califor-
MIA forests into insignificance. He be-
gan on one branch of his family, and
soon struck Miles Standish, from whom
he ran various shoots and offshoots,
with many feeling of pride. With re-
newed interest he went to work on an
other branch of his growing tree, and
had gone back but four generations
when he was amazed to strike a great
grandfather who had died from stran-
gulation brought on by a. rope en-
circling his throat, his death occurring
in the presence of large gathering Of
curious people, who had taken day off
during harvest time in order to see the
hanging. BY this time the man CT fam
lily pride had become intensely disgust
ed with genealogical Investigations. but
all that his friends knew of his disap-
pointment was the fact that he re-
NAMED away from the busy haunts of
his fellows for several weeks, and the
family physician gave out the informa-
tion that he was the victim of a severe
case OF nervous prostration.
