road making machinery which it has BEEN
experimenting with, and this outfit has
been placed ut the disposal Of the war de.
partment. Nothing definite will be done

corps, who is now at Tampa, and Is being
consulted as to what machinery, ETC., =

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE govern
ment is giving attention to the adjust
ment of affairs in the Philippines to
meet the new conditions. The present
intent ion is to follow as closely as cir
cumstauces permit the course pursued
toward the Cubans and Porto Ricans
up to this point. To this end, as in
Santiago and San Juan, the first thing
to be done is to repatriate the Spanish
troops who garrison Manila and the
other towns.
To influence the Filipnos in tn e
right direction, Gen. Otis, the mill
tary commandant at Manila, will is
sue proclamation advising them of
the acquisition of the Philippines by
the United States and of the presi.
dents desire to accord them the utmost
liberty of action. The condition, OF
course, will be imposed that the PEG.
Pile prove themselves worthy of the
confidence reposed in them and refrai n
from acts of lawlessness.

nights extremely trying on the
nerves Of men, and again the long
intensely hot summer days are
almost unhearable, especially as
they are accompanied by swarms
of savage, singing insects. But
these need not deter anyone who
has a good, strong body and
enough cash to take him there
and provision him for eight or
nine months. The point, though,
is that there is no need of being
in a hurry. Gold finding in
Alaska has just barely begun.
There will be plenty of good
prospecting and continuous rich
discovery for the next twenty
years or more, and within the
next two years the facilities for
reaching there will be so improved
and increased that the trip will
involve no particular hardship.
Besides, all danger of starvation
will have vanished, and the de-
velopment of the country will
have progressed to such an ex-
tent that labor will be in great
demand at good wages, which is
not the case at present. Anyone
going there at this time with the
expectation of securing profitable
is likely to be sorely
and may suffer
severely. Upon the whole, men
without capital will do better
to wait year or or two. Even
those with little capital are
liable to make a mistake if they |
-isk it all on a trip to Klondike.
There is plenty of time.
