Buenos Ayres, April 23.-The Spanish
torpedo gunboat left here yesterday.
1t Is believed she has gone to attack
the United States battleship Oregon
and the United States gunboat Mari
eta, which left ValparaNs on Monday
last for Montevideo. TIE Oregon and
the Marietta, at rough estimate, have
about 5000 miles steaming between VAL
paraiso and Montevideo. The battle
ship will necessarily keep company
with. the gunboat, as the latter is bet
ter able, owing to the quicker manner
In which she can be handled. to sue

has a speed Of 20 knots against the 16
knots speed credited to the Oregon. AS
the Oregon left Valparaiso on Monday
last she is now nearing Cape Horn

lieve shall ever forget Christmas 1t
was Dawson City's first. Dawson was
three months and half old, and had set
tied down to be a permanent town. All
the miners who had made good locations
had by this time housed themselves in
pine-board shanties. A few had built
shanty frames about tents to secure
greater warmth within. All Of us who
made any strikes Of gold at all had done
so by October, so we were well along with
our gold digging; but we could do less in
December than in any month in the year.
From the latter part of November to early
in January there is only four hours Of
practical daylight in any day. Many
days, when the wind blew hardest-in
fact, it blows gale there all the winter
long, and snow and pellets Of ice were
blown along candles were kept lighted
all day long. In winter, candles and
lamps were always lighted between / and
2 in the afternoon. The mercury ranged
from 26 degrees below zero to 65 degrees
below. So we could not make satisfactory
