NO RELIEF FOR kLONDlkERS.
Secretary A1ger Abandons the Rein
deer Expedition.

The War Department has decided to
abandon its expedition for the relief Of
the miners in the klondike country be-
cause the. conclusion has been reached
that no necessity exists for it. Secretary
Alger has written letter to Senator
Hawley, chairman of the Senate Commit
tee on Military Affairs, explaining the
departments position and asking that
Congress take action by joint resolution
authorizing the department 10 dispose of
the supplies purchased for the expedition,
including the reindeer which have just
arrived from Norway, and to abandon the
project entirely.
In his letter Secretary Alger says the
conditions on the Yukon have changed so
as to render the expedition unnecessary.
and that Gen. Miles and Gen. Merritt
both agree with him. He is also advised
to this effect by the Canadian minister
of the interior. Later adyices than those
received last December when the expedi-
ton was decided upon indicate, he saws.
that the miners are in no danger of suf-
fering. and he thinks that the rrea.
crowds of prospectors now going in over
the pass will carry sufficient provir;r1s 10
divide with the miners in case the need
assistance.
Gen. Alger expresses the opinion that
the reindeer can be sold at price sniff
cient to reimburse the Government for
their cost He says he has been offe.sd
800 each for 100 of them. This amount
is above the cost price. He also states
that the Interior Department is anxious
to take chg rye Of the animals. He also
asks for authority TO sell the supplies pur-
chased for the expedition.

still be at tremendous disadvantage in
trying to carry on war across 5000 miles
of ocean against an enemy lighting Wlthln
easy distance of its base of supplies.
The transportation and maintenance of
troops in large numbers in distant coun-
try is an undertaking fraught with diff
Guilty and involving tremendous eX-
pense. To maintain a powerful fleet of
warships 5000 miles from home is also an
operation calculated to depletc even a
we'll stocked treasury.
The supplying of food. medicines and
military stores for the Spanish army in
Cuba has been found so difficult and eX-
pensive from Spain that it has been done
10 a considerable extent by purchase in
this country. If there were war with the
Tinted States no further supplies could
90 from, this country to the stranded army
and to convey stores and supplies from
Snain If it is difficult in times of peace,
what would il be with armed merchant
men and swift cruisers sweeping the ocean
on the lookout for prizes?
Every supply ship would have to sail
under convoy of cruisers able to beat off
the cruisers of the United States. Spain's
navy could never carry Oh war and sup
ply sufficient cruisers for convoy duty at
the same time. The United States could
easily land an expeditionary force in
t3uha. The ease with which tilibustering
expeditions land there is proof of it. A
strong expeditionary force joined with
the army of Maxine Gomez would soon
sweep the island.
Meantime the harbors of the United
States are fairly well defended with mod
ern forts armed with modern ordnance.
Even if the Spaniards did, at some unde-
Tended point, succeed in effeeting a land
ing. any force which they could land from
fleet would be speedily overwhelmed.
Then there is the United States feet,
which could both help in the defense OF
the coast and operate against the Spanish
possessions in the West Indies.
If the Spanish fleet came TO the coast
the American fleet would meet it off the
pojnt il aimed at and in all probability
annihilate it. If the Spanish feet con-
centrated in the West Indies, the North
Atlantic squadron would meet it there
and try the arbitrament of battle in those
waters. If the Spanish fleet split up, part
coming on the coast and part going to the
West Indies, the American navy would
be able TO leave enough vessels to assist
the forts and the land forces in the pro-
lection of the seaboard, and cousi concen-
trate an overwhelming force against the
part of the Spanish navy left in the West
Indian waters.

the Atlantic: The battleships Indiana.

ers New York and Brooklyn; second-class

WILL NOT HELP SPAIN.
All Europe's Powers Refuse Her Even
Their Moral Support.

thctT NioEul SupprfI.
Spain will receive no assistance what.
ever from any European Government in
the event of war with the United States,
whether arising out of the destruction OF
the Maine or because of American inter
vention in Cuba. 1t is the general opin-
len of diplomatists in London and other
capitals that the disaster to the battleship
Maine is having an effect to postpone in
stead of to hasten the intervention of the
United States in Cuba.
According to London advices every Eu-
ropean power received several weeks ago
frank, though informal, statement OF
American intentions in regard to the Gu
ban situation. 1t mag be said without re-
serve that the policy thus disclosed met
with no European opposition. This pol
icy, as understood by the British foreign
office, and outlined by British diplomat
lists. is as follows:
The United States since last summer
has been insisting that Spain must restore
peace in Cuba. Finally, the Sagasta cab
met was given to understand that unless
peace was in sight by March /, the United
States would actively intervene. This
while not technically an ultimatum, be
cause it was not part of a formal diplo
matte correspondence. was, in effect, moth
ing less. The Spanish Government so un
derstood it, and so did every chancellery
in Europe. No European power gave any
sign of Willingness to protest in behalf OF
Spain, though the Spanish Government
at first hoped TO secure at least the
friendly Offices of Austria or France K
induce the United States TO refrain from
intervention. The attitude of Great Brit
ain has been particularly disappointing
to Spain. The disputes of the United
Sta res and Great Britain over various
matters seem to have inspired the Span
ish Government with hope that some
moral support at least, might be obtained
in London. The British Government has

Mrs. Singers granddaughter, Miss Mabel

son-in-law, James S. Mccartney, had left

WAS A CUBAN VICTORY.
Spanish Loss 1 200 Killed and Wonud-

ed at Holguin.
Reports of the recent battle at Holguin,
Province of Santiago de Cuba, have been
received in New York. Instead of the
battle being Spanish victory, as repre-
scented from Havana. il was a disastrous
defeat, followed by retreat on the part
of the Spanish forces. This information
is the cause for a great amount of reJoic-
ing in New York Cuban circles, because
the guns and ammunition shipped from
Long Island less than month ago were
used in the fight.
Owing to the character of the country
less than 1000 of the Spanish troops could
be brought into action when the Cubans
opened fire, and the Cuban force Of less
than thousand men could not be dislodg-
ed. Gen. Garcia's command did not reach
its full strength until the fifth day after
the fighting began. On this day the
Spanish columns retreated in confusion,
carrying the wounded TO Holguin and
leaving 200 dead on the field. The Gu
bans loss in the five days fighting was
less than fifty killed. The real Spanish
loss will never be known, as the dead and
wounded were taken from the field at
night. 1t is estimated that nearly one
thousand were killed and wounded.
The Cubans in the field, according to the
letters, are praying for the United States
to strike n blow in order that they may
attack Havana from the land

Meantime, in the Pacific ocean the Unit
ed States has the battleship Oregon and
the cruisers Olympia, Boston, Raleigh
Petrel, Baltimore and Bennington, the
coast defense: vessel Monterey and some
old vessels. A portion of this force only
would be necessary for descent upon the
Spanish possessions in the Philippines
where the insurgents are still in the field
All this is giving Spain the benefit of
every doubt Us to her ability to make a
fight. The probability is that there would
be only one conflict, and that short one
off the harbor of Havana. Then it would
be all over.
The most effective fleet that Spain could
send over Would consist of the armored

up its first S,400 tons in getting across the
Atlantic. TO coal it three times wher
operating on this side of the water would
take 1920 tons. Where is Spain going
to get that amount of coal?
The coal with which she supplies hel

comes from Philadelphia and New York
She has little coal stored in Havana and
has encroacb I'd greatly upon the store she
had in Porto Rico. Spain herself gets heI
coal from England. She could not supply
it to her transatlantic feet. In case OF
war with the United States the coal tC
maintain her fleet on this side of the water
~uuld have to come from England. Now
coal is contraband of war, and British

would be liable to capture. That some
coal would get to the fleet from England
is undoubted, for there never was a block.
