Captain w. c. Oledrive, of Boston, to
Walk Across the Atlantic.
Chicago, Dec. pa special to the
Times Herald from New York says:
Captain w. G. Oledrive, of Boston, has
planned to walk across the Atlantic
ocean. He will begin his journey July
A and will be accompanied by Captain
w. M. Andrews, famous by reason OF
his voyage across the Atlantic in a
small boat. 1t is nothing new for Cap
tain Oledrive to promenade the waves.
That has been his pleasure and profit
these ten years. Captain Andrews.
who is TO be the companion of the wa
ter pedestrian, will journey in brand
new 14-foot small boat and in this
merely repeats feat performed in 1878
and again in 1892. Captain Andrews
is the man who has brought about the
whole affair. Here is his own state
ment:
Incredible as it may seem, next
year we are really going to walk and
sail down Boston harbor, out onto the
ocean and over to Havre, France,
through the great bore of the river
Seinesand up to Paris. to be there to at
tend the exposition of 1900 in our new
seagoing shoes and the smallest, fastest
and best boat that ever crossed the At
lantic ocean, the Phantom ship. Every
vessel we speak on the ocean will re-
port one of us walking and sometimes
towing the boat in calm weather.
1.-THE seagoing shoes of Mr.. Oledrive
are the most wonderful part OF the
whole affair. They are pair of cedar
boxes five feet long with fins on the
bottom and sides. They are very light
and capable of sustaining 140 pounds.
and as Oledrive weighs only 1870 pounds
they are as good to him as steamers

Progress Of the Salvation Army's Work
in California.

Progress of the Salvation Army's Work
in California.
New York, Dec. 30.-Commander
Booth Tucker has started for California
to complete the work of founding the
first of the Salvation Army colonies in
this country at Soledad near Monterey.
Most of the cottages have already been
built and the work of cultivation is
we'll installed on the farm OF 500
acres, but numerous applicants are
ready to. start the moment Booth Tuck
er reaches San Francisco.
The commander said that there was
no doubt that the experiment would
prove great success. Claus Spreckles,
he said, is erecting million dollar
beet-sugar factory in the immediate
neigh borhood, which will be able to
consume all that the colonists can pro-
duce, and the product of as many
farms as they may care to start in the
neighborhood.
81 shall spend several weeks in the
West and take look at our Colorado
farm in the Arkansas valley before l
return" said the commander. "A del
egation of men connected with tim
ming establishment in Chicago recently
came to me and asked that | establish
a farm near that city. They were not
out of work, but said they would
rather go into something that promised
a permanent occupation than to remain
where they were.

Recent Events in the East Will Prob
ably Hasten the Event.
Washington, Dec. 30.-"Affairs in
China and the East generally" said
Senator Cullom, "have pnt an entirely
different complexion upon Hawaii's
prospects for annexation. Since con-
gress adjourned for the holidays there
has been a marked change of sentiment
concerning Hawaii, and it would not
surprise me if the pending treaty
should be ratified by the necessary two
thirds of the senate.
''It would be the height of folly to
let such an opportunity slip as Hawaii
presents to the United States at such
critical time Here is a most desirable
piece of property only waiting for a
nod from Uncle Sam to become his
own, without firing gun or precipitat-
ing any trouble.
GAS son as congress meets we will
get at the treaty, and my impression
is that number of senators who have
hitherto been against ratification will
be found on our side. 1t has always
been my opinion that we ought to have
Hawaii, and / am confirmed in this be-
lief more than ever by the recent course
of events in the Orient"

Presidents Letter Delivered and tho

Havana, Dec. 31.-News has reached

dent McKinley's letter to General
Maxine Gomez. The rumOr that Mr..
Scovel had been sentenced to death ap-
pears to have been we'll founded. The

to headquarters TO induce General
Gomez to surrender. General Gomez.
enraged, declared that both should be
on the spot, but on
learning that they were special ENJOYS
from Secretary Sherman, acting under
orders of President Mckinley, he in
structed that they be released, and
agreed to meet them. Senior Madrigal,
United States consul at Sancti Spiritus,
explained to General Gomez that Pres
ident Mckinley, in accordance with a
promise to Spain to use his friendly in
f1uence with the insurgents to bring the
war to an end, had selected him (Senor
MadrigaD and Mr.. Scovel to carry out
the mission. He then presented Secre-
tary Sherman's letter to General Gomez.
The latter had the same translated for
him, and gave orders that the COM
missioners should be treated with all
consideration. He fixed an appoint
ment for the following day. promising
in the interval to confer with the Cuban
government with reference to the ac-
ton to be taken. The following morn
ing General Gomez assured Senior Mad
rieal and Mr.. Scovel that he was much
pleased with the interest shown by the
American government in the island OF
Cuba, and that he would reply to Presi-
dent Mckinley through the representa-
tive of the Cuban government at Wash
ington, as he (Gomezl was not allowed
to correspond directly with foreign

REINDEER WILL DIE.
DR.. Nansen's Views Upon Ayers Klon-
dixie Relief Plan.

dixie Relief Plan.
Binghamton, N. Y, Dec. SO.-Dr.
hansen, the Arctic explorer, was asked
what he thought of the plan of bringing
reindeer for taking relief to the Klon-
dixie miners. He said if the reindeer
were taken overland across the country
they would probably reach Alaska in
time to accomplish the desired object,
and If they could reach Alaska they
would be of great assistance in the re-
lief work. The difficulty would be to
get the deer transported.
DIR. Nansen said the moss on which
the deer fed was about the only TODD
they would eat, and they would starve
before they would eat much of any
thing else. They had sometimes been
trained to eat bread, but not very sue
cessfully. While there was an abund-
ance of moss in Norway, he thought it
would be impossible to gather it in
such quantities as would be necessary
for the feeding of 500 deer in transport
tation from Norway to Alaska. The
deer themselves seemed to know how
to gather it better than human beings.
He believed that if 500 reindeer were
shipped from Norway it would be i'm
possible to keep more than small per-
centage of them alive until Alaska
should be reached.
According to his opinions, Iceland
horses would be better for this work,
for they would subsist on the moss of
the Arctic regions and also on hay or
other provender. They were also
hardy, and would do the work after
they reached Alaska almost as we'll as
the deer. It would be much easier to
transport them, he said.

New York, Dec 31.-Considerable
interest was manifested among Cubans
at the junta headquarters at the report
ed makeup of General Blanco's cabinet
for the colonial government of Cuba
under the decree of autonomy. Jose
Maria Galvez, said to be slated for pres
ident of the cabinet, is the leader of the
autonomist party and was formerly a
prominent lawyer.
But" said one of the Cubans, she
has been ruined by gambling"
Rafael MontorO, Marquis of Montoro,
was at one time, they say, leader of the
autonomists. He is lawyer and an
eloquent speaker. He is said to have
been named for minister of finance.
The reputed selection for minister Of
the interior, Antonio Gown, is lawyer
and for years was member of the pro-
visional council.
Francisco Zayas, mentioned as the
appointee for minister of education, is
leading physician of Havana.
Arturo Ambla7o, the proposed min
lister of commerce, is a Spaniard and
was until recent..- bitterly against
autonomy and the proposed reforms.
For minister of posts and telegraphs
the man selected is said to be Rafael
Fernandez Castro, a lawyer, professor
in the university and the owner of large
sugar plantations. He is the wine con-
tractor for the army and has great influ-
ence.
Members of the junta have no COM
ments to make on the cabinet, as a
whole. It was not certain, it was said,
that the cabinet report was correct, and
it really mattered little to the insur-
gents, who were interested only in alb
solute independence.

SENSATION AT THE CAPITAL.
SPANS Wrath Over woodford's Note
Uncalled for.

Uncalled for.
Washington, Dec. 80. - Officials
here are somewhat surprised at the ex-
hibition of feeling at Madrid over the
latest note of Minister Woodford de-
livered to the Spanish foreign Office the
day before Christmas. While the note
itself will not be made public at pre-
sent, it is said that there is no reason
whatever why it should be withheld,
save the fact that preceding steps in
the negotiations have not yet seen the
light of newspapers and it is desirable
when publications. made to preserve a
complete chain of events in their nat
ural order. Possibly the correspond
ence will be shortly called for by con-
gress, in which case it is not likely to
be withheld on the ground of public
policy.
The last note presented by Minister
Woodford was in answer to the Spanish
note, called forth by Woodford's very
first note upon his arrival at Madrid.
In his initial note the United States
minister pointed out the interest of his
country in the early termination of the
present struggle in Cuba and asked
when such conclusion could be expect
ed. The Spanish government in its
reply acknowledged our interest in the
matter, but suggested after stating what
it intended to do to ameliorate the con-
ditions in Cuba, that the United States
could best exercise its good offices by
stopping filibustering. To this Wood
ford responded with his note of last
week. 1t is said to be purely argu-
mentative statement of the position
taken by the United States, and the
facts set forth are those SO strongly
drawn in the presidents message to
congress, of which it was supposed the
Spanish public had been fully advised
through newspapers.
The most forcible statement in the
note is based upon facts collected and
published recently by the United
States treasury department, exhibiting
the great expense to which the United
States had been put by reason of its
efforts to patrol the enormous coast line
in pursuit of few tilibustering expedi-
tions and the remarkable success of gov
eminent officials in stopping these ex-
petitions as contrasted with the feeble
efforts of the Spanish authorities to
maintain a patrol around the island OF
Cuba. All these facts were included
in Woodford's note. and while he put
them in his own language in presenting
them to the Spanish foreign office, it
is said the statements concern only the
events which have already been touched
upon.

New York, Dec. 31.-A special to
the Journal and Advertiser, from New
Haven, Conn.,. says: Captain George

Ward, which has just arrived here from
Barcelona, states that the American
consul at that port fears mob violence,
and is unable to keep the American flag
upon Uncle Sam s vessels. He put into
port there September Is, remaining
three days.
At first the Stars and Stripes foated
proudly from the masthead, but Span
ish loiterers were attracted by it and
gathered by the vessel, threatening vio-
lence. The American consul heard of
the rumor that the crowd purposed
burning the vessel, and he sent word to
Captain Kelsey to haul down the flag.
Captain Kelsey defied the Spaniards,
but the next day the consul repeated
his advice, and Captain Kelsey was re-
luctantly persuaded to store the Stars
and Stripes below decks during the re-
mainder of his stay.

It's Design Is to Expedite Disposition

Washington, Dec. ga new or
der, the enforcement of which it is be-
lieved will expedite the disposition OF
pension claims now pending has been
issued by Commissioner Evans. 1t is
as follows:
thereafter claims for increase OF
pensions will not be considered within
10 months from the last action, allow
ance or rejection. J"
.sThe necessity of the new order, !"
said an official today, grows largely
out of calls made on the Office for state
ment of the status of pending cases
by means of congress. These calls have
been answered to the exclusion OF
other claims pending, which, it is said,
have been taken up in their order.
It is only fair to these cases which have
not had any consideration that they
should be taken up as promptly as pos
sibIe.
