Mckinley MAY INTERVENE.
A SENSATIONAL REPORT RE-
GARDING CUBA.
Secret Negotiations Said Now to be
Actually In Progress for the
Stoppage Of the War.
CHICAGO, Feb. IA special to the

CHICAGO. Feb "a special to the
! Tribune" from Washington says
Secret negotiations are now actually
in progress between the State Depart
ment and the insurgents in Cuba look
ing to a stoppage of the war on some
financial basis, to be agreed upon here
after. President Mckinley has not rec
ognized the insurgent belligerents and
he cannot, therefore, treat with them
openly as he would do with a diplo-
matte representative of an independent
nation.
Nevertheless, direct communication
has been had within the last few weeks
between the insurgents Government
and the Administration here. The in
surgents have expressed perfect Will
ingneSs to assume a reasonable share of
the Spanish bonds issued against the
Cuban revenues. The proposition has
been considered with some favor ana
the President and his Cabinet have dis
cussed several plans for guaranteeing
the Cuban debt on the sole basis of III
dependence.
| These negotiations have gone side by
side with the gradual massing of shc
ships Of the North Atlantic within
striking distance of Cuba Orders 10
the cruiser Montgomery to sail at once
for the harbor of MatanzaS have been
! issued. and the ship is likely to be there
quite as Unexpectedly as the Maine ar
rived in Havana. The orders issued TO
t, its commander contemplate a report d.
rect TO Consul Brice at MatanZas, where
there has been some indication of riot
ing. Should everything be found peace
able the ship will proceed to Santiago
de Cuba, but should affairs look threat
ening at Matanzas, another ship will
quietly be slipped to the latter port and
before Captain General Blanco knows
what is happening to him American
ships will be in the harbor of every i'm
portant port in Cuba.
The gradual occupation of the island
! by naval force is understood to be
part and parcel of the negotiations with
the insurgents. When they are con-
/ Guided. if everything goes on well, the
! United States Will be in a position 10
/ offer Spain a heavy financial bonus for
! giving up the island, while, at the same
time, the insurgents would find them
selves in a position to make a juncture
with the United States naval forces at
any one of the half dozen different
! ports
| A cablegram has been sent by the
State Department to Consul Brce at
Matanzas, notifying him that the
1 Montgomery is now Ell route to that
port and directing him to make the
necessary arrangements for its recep-
| ton.
! Although it is not admitted by the
State Department officials. the impress
sion prevails that Consul Brice, in ad-
vising the department of the recent
riots occurring in Matanzas, suggested
that warship should be Immediately
sent there for the protection of Amer-
can interests. The fact that the de-
partment requested that the Montgom-
cry be sent strengthens this belief
| The sending of the battleship Mont
! gomery to Matanzas is regarded here
as of equal Importance to the dispatch
ing of the Maine to Havana.

HE WAS CONSCIENTIOUS.
The Juror Who Told the Judge
Exactly Where He Stood.

The lawyers had badgered the juror
nearly to death with questions when the
Judge finally took him in hand.
You say you never heard of this
case?" said the Judge.
Nary a word of it, Jedge, till l came
to the court room, was the reply.
And you don't know either the plain
tiff or the defendant?'
Never see either of EN- afore to-
day."
DO you know either Of the attor-
neys?"
Thank heaven. no.

ligious belief of nationality of either

Not a Bit
Then / should think you ought to be
able to give a fair and impartial hear
ing to the evidence, and render YER
dict in accordance with it without fear

"Jedge, as things stand now I can
do that very same thing, but I'm afeared
of what may happen.
What can happen that will affect
your Judgment"
We'll, Jedge," explained the juror,
turning to the court somewhat conf
dentially, eff the lawyers behave them
selves I'll be a eracker-jack juror, but
it's my experience in these here cases
that one or the other of 'em usually
works in some smart tricks that makes
me so hoppin' mad all the way through
that it warps my Judgment, an then II
jest comes natural for me to watch
out for a good chance to give him the
worst of it, and l amt no koind of a
Juror to sit in that case. If you'll jest

HE is AN lex" NOW.
Mr.. Lynch Will Turn the Postoffice Over
to Mr.. Irwin To-Day.

To-day Postmaster Lynch will be-
come "ex'' and George W. Irwin will
take the title of postmaster of Butte.
Mr.. Lynch has been very anxious to be
relieved of the office in order that he
could get started in other business on
March /. In reply to a telegram sent
the postoffice department Mr.. Lynch
received this reply yesterday:
Commission of George w. Irwin as
postmaster of Butte mailed to-day.
He is authorized to take charge of
office March /. (Signed)
y. L. BRISkER,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral."
So Mr. Lynch will step out and Mr..
Irwin will step in this morning. Mr..
Irwin is so well known to the employees
in the postoffice. that it will not be
necessary that he be formally intro
duced to them when he assumes the
duties of his new position. 1t was not
expected that the newly appointed in
cumbent would take charge for sew
eral days, as his commission has not
yet arrived, but the retiring postmas-
ter James H. Lynch. was anxious that
the transfer should take place at the
end of the calendar month, as that
would make the settlement of his ac-
counts easier and much more agree
able.
Mr.. Lynch mas served within few
days of the four-year term for which
he was appointed. and might possibly
have remained longer in office had he
not voluntarily resigned the position
about Jan. !. He has filled the place
acceptably and retires with the good
wishes of the employees and the general
public. The gentleman is large prop

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the Klon
dixie Gold Fields.

To Those Coming to Alaska or the klon
dixie Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader COM
ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the states, in the Dominion. or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this precau-
ton more than upon any other one
thing will his success or failure de-
pend.
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated. but the most
careful attention in the selection of
foods that will keep unimpaired in
definitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter is
imperative. For instance, as bread
raised with baking powder must be re-
lied upon for the chief part of every
meal. imagine the helplessness of a
miner with a can of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best flour;
it iss the cheapest in the end. Expe-
rience has shown the Royal Baking
Powder to be the most reliable and the
trading companies now uniformly sup
ply this brand, as others will not keep
in this climate. Be sure that the bacon
is sweet. sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place a chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be
neglected. They may. of course. be sup
plemented by as many comforts or deli
caces as the prospector may be able to
pack or desire to pay for.-From the
