IL has not been the custom OF the Alaska
Packers Association TO make prices until
later in the season: and We do not know
Of an~thing al present which would
prompt them to change their policy. as It
Is impossible to determine now so far In

fair price would be. Packers would not
take orders six months In advance ex-
cept at certain profit on the coutem-
plated pack. Il is not generally known
that the Alaska Packers Association nut

  SIMPSONS FLEET Progress of Peace Proceedings Gratifying to Officers. BLANCO MAY HAVE ESCAPED Commodore Watson Took the Yankee and Dixie to Bahama Channelto Head Off the Captain
 General of Cuba.
BLANCO MAY HAVE ESCAPED

Playa del Este, Aug. 13-3 p. m.-The American warships New York, Brooklyn, Oregon, Indiana, Iowa and Massachusetts will sail tomorrow for Tompkinsville, un- | less the navy department decides that they | shall wait for the troops from Santiago de | Cuba.
 Admiral Sampson thinks it would be un- l wise to take the troops aboard the war l ships on account of the possible infection | by disease, and also because the ships have heardly any accommodations. If the troops are taken the vessels will be de- layed two or three days. Great pleasure is expressed among the fleet over the sat isfactory progress of the peace negotia- tions. Admiral Sampson and his entire command, however, are ready to go at it again at any moment if it should become necessary, but the impression exists that the navy's work is practically done. Commodore Watson left this afternoon on the Badger to raise the south Cuban blockade and take the marines off the Isle of Pines, where, it is thought, they were landed yesterday or the day before. Com modore Watson will transfer his flag to the Newark and remain here until the southern blockading vessels and the Porto
 
 He will then probably go to Key West, where Commodore Howell will assemble the northern blockading ships The moni- tors will stay at Guantanamo. By Monday Admiral Sampson says the blockade will be thoroughly raised. The St. Paul and St. Louis left Thurs day for New York with some of General Shafter's troops. The New York, with Ad- miral Sampson on board, returned here this morning after two days absence. She sailed on Wednesday night, the admiral wishing to inspect the Maria Teresa. All day Thursday, the New York's crew worked to tighten the Maria Teresa which work has been neglected.
 Thursday evening the Scorpion conveyed to Admiral Sampson Washington des- patches from Playa del Este stating that it was rumored that Captain-General Blanco had escaped from Havana, possibly on the steamer Montserrat. Commodore Watson was communicated with. and the Dixie and Yankee were sent to the Bahama channel to head Blanco off.
 Admiral Sampson at once decided to leave the Maria Teresa and go to the vest ern extremity of Jamaica to intercert Blanco should he attempt to escape in that direction. The flagship made sixteen knots an hour despite the foulness of her bottom, and arrived off Jamaica yesterday morn- ing and cruised around.
 Probably the last gun of tne war was fired by the New York at the British tramp steamer Acme, which was e;.ased and hove to outside the three mde shore line. She was bound from Capc Verde for Mobile and being evidently ali right, was allowed to proceed.

 Berlin, Aug. 13.-All doubts as to the precarious condition of the pope were re- moved today by an article which appeared in the Koelnische Zeitung, acknowledged organ of the Roman Catholicts. It was written by the Rome correspondent of the Zeitung and describes the holy father as a tottering old man, whose death may oc- cur at any moment.
 Most of the pope's time is spent in utter silence, during which he sits or reclines on sofa, like one whose soul dwells al ready with the hereafter, staring for hours at the ceiling of his room, unconscious of what is occurring around him.
 He speaks but little and in an almost inaudible voice. Conversation or discus sion of affairs of the vatican fatigue him greatly nor is it possible for him to re- fleet long and rationally any subject.
 Most distressing and embarrassing of all are his attempts to frame familiar canon- ical intercessions. He stammers them like a child just beginning to learn its prayers. Often he has to begin them over ten times in succession before he can finally repeat entire prayers. At times he grows so ab- sent-minded that he fails to recognize his closest friends.
 The article states, in conclusion that the pope is passing away like white candle in golden candlestick, and that all af- fairs of the vatican are now virtually in control of the Cardinal Rampolla.
 Decrepit old Man
 Berlin, Aug. 13.-The Rome correspond ent of the Cologne Gazette says:
 sThe condition of the pope no longer ad- mits of disguise. His health has gradual ly gone from bad to worse and his holiness is now decrepit old man who rarely speaks. His voice is of the weakest; think ing tires him and prayers confuse him. He has been observed to commence the same prayer ten times without noticing the repetitions. Cardinal Rampolla, papal secretary of state, conducts all of the vatican business"
