were filed with spectators who suppressed
their feelings of applause and gazed on the
maZy picture with silent admiration.
There were seventy admissions to the
ball and about 400 to the galleries. The
decorations OF the hall were the same as used
at the Governors ball last month, consist
ing chiefly of flags and bunting. The affair
was well managed throughout and is stated
by the attendants as being social event of
high caste. While it is impossible to state

IHE POPE UPSET.
Clouds of War Deeply Affect the Aged

question, which seems turning in a way
he hoped and tried to avoid This
morning, having said mass in the Sis

him, and exclaimed: II have PRAYED

and with the deepest fervor, to avert
this war. and not to allow the ponti-
fetal efforts TO end in smoke of battle.
Otherwise, 1 have implored the Al
mighty to take me to himself, that l
may not behold such a sight"
Those present say that the aged pom

his words deeply touched all. After

THAT YUKON RAILWAY.
Proposed New Deal With Canadian
Government.

Ottawa, Ont, April 14.-William Nc
Kenzie and D. u. Mann have arrived
here. Their presence has started all
kinds of talk as 10 the likelihood Of
their arranging with the government
for a new deal for a railway into the
Yukon. One proposition is to build a
railway from Alice Arm or Portland
canal, right through to Teslin lake. This
would be entirely through Canadian
territory and would dispose of all COM
piications that might arise at Wrangel
and give an aI-Canadian route. 1t
would also do away with the Uncer-
tainties of navigation of the Stickeen
and the delays of trans-shipment at
Wrangel. The road. which would be
$40 miles long. through a bad country,
would be enormously expensive
A resolution passed at a public meet
ing at Vancouver has been forwarded
to Sir Wilfred Laurier. representing the
Importance of building a railway from
an ocean port in British Columbia to-
ward the golden regions on the klOn-
dixie and earnestly requesting the ad-
ministratiOn to devise some means
whereby this can be accomplished.
Another proposition has also been

government as we'll.

SAILED FROM PORTO RICO.
Cruiser Vizcaya and oquendo Depart
For Cape de Verde Islands.

Chicago. April ia special to the
Tines Herald from Washington, says:
Spain's two cruisers. the Vizcaya ard
Almirante Oquenda, which recently
arrived at Porto Rico from Havana,
have sailed from Porto Rico. It is
understood their destination is the Cape
ed Verde islands.
In withdrawing the armOred cruisers
Vizcaya and Almirante OQuenda from
western waters, Spain has acted IL a
manner which is approved by naval
experts when thinking of her inter-
ests. At the Cape de Verde islands they
will Join the armored cruisers CristObal
Colon and the Infanta Maria Toresa,
which are en- route To that place, and
the first torpedo boat flOtilla, which. it
is officially stated. consists of the trans
port steamer Ciudad de Cadiz, torpedo
boat destroyers Juror Terror and Piu-
ton. and torpedo boats Article, AzOr and
Rayon.
1t is appreciated by the officials that
the union of the four armored cruisers
and the flotilia makes a fOrrnidabi
force. but il is. of course, Impossible
to prevent it at this time. 1t had been
hoped by the officials that the Ameri-
can fleet would be able to catch and
destroy the Vizcaya and OqUenda be
fore they could join the remainder OF
the Spanish fleet, and it is admitted
that Spain acted with good judgment
in directing them to proceed TO the
Cape de Verde islands

INVESTMENT OF HAVANA.
Plans Under Consideration By Naval
Strategy Board.

0tTdISSy oodAu-
New York. April IA special to the
Times from washington says:
The plans for the joint land and ma
val attack upon Havana have been
practically decided on. They have been
the subject of elaboration of number
off meetings of the naval strategic
board, of councils of the joint war and
navy board. and of conferences between
the governmental and military officials.
From the first it was considered abso-
lutely essential that there should be a
joint movement of the land and naval
forces of the United States against the
Spaniards in Cuba, and the only thing
left for discussion was the best course
to be pursued IN carrying out this plan.
One difficulty that has continually pre-
scented Itself is the fact that the navy
is ready for an advance on Havana
within an hour after the declaration of
war, while the army could not possibly
throw any considerable force in Cuba
in less time than As hours. Should the
feet of Captain Sampson wait until
the army is ready, has been asked. or
should il, as soon as war was deter
mined on, proceed to carry out its in
structions and invest Havana from the
sea?
1t is now decided that the fleet will
at once move on Havana. in
vest it. and at the same time
hold open the Florida straits for
the free transportation of troops into
the island A part of the feet will be
employed for this purpose, as we'll as
to keep open the gulf TO the west of
Havana for a like purpose.
As soon as the army is ready, which
will be within As hours, a considerable
body of troops will be thrown into the
province of Pinar del Rio. in the neigh
borhood. perhaps, of Bahia Honda, and
an advance upon Havana Will be be-
gun a: once. The fleet will cooperate
with the land forces from the moment
they land in Cuba. and both will at
tack Havana simultaneously.

AMERICA UNMAsKED.
Spanish Press Believes This Is Done
By the Message.

Madrid, April 1.-THE Impartial lin
dependenD rakes the presidents mes

| suppresses the truth. and turns dis
painfully away. appealing to the gov
eminent to unite all Spaniards by bold
action
/ Continuing, the impartial says: The

( that should peace not result from it,
/ Intervention will follow. In other words,
| Don't yield. Let Spain send her fleet
to Cuba, let the truth be known, and
so soon as it is known. the insurgents
will surrender. Honor and common
sense demand this course"
FL Correo, the organ of Senior Sa-
gasta, says: The Madrid press is
unanimous in its unfavOrable judgment
upon President Mckinley's message,
and public opinion has received the
document with marked hostility. Spe-
cial indignation is caused by the clause
referring to Intervention, and by the
hypOcritical lamentation over Cuban
misfortunes. which have been greatly.
augmented by the support given she
rebels on the part of the American peO-
pie. and probably the American con-
suls."

down" The paper considers that the

LIQUOR LAW IN KLONDIKE.
No Judge Will Indict Any Person For
Violating II.

Washington. April 13.-Responding to
a resolution Of inquiry in regard TO the
enforcement Of the liquor law in
Alaska. Secretary Gage sent a state
ment to the senate. in which he says
that, Notwithstanding the efforts OF
the department. it is still a fact that
the law is openly violated. It has. he
says, been reported to the department
that 40 saloons do open business in
Juneau, town of less than 1000 in
habitants. while in Sitka. which con-
tains less than 1000 inhabitants, there
are y open saloons
The universal public sentiment in
the territory" says the secretary. lis
bitterly opposed to the enforcement Of
the liquor law. and the efforts of the
officers are met with intimidation,
threats. violence and attempts at
bribery"
He says an agent OF the department,
who reported this condition, was in
dicted. The secretary adds: The
statement has been made repeatedly
by judicial officers of the territory that
no judge in Alaska would indict any
person arrested for violating the liquor
law. The report closes with the state
ment that il is impossible to enforce
the present law against the existing
public sentiment.

LEE IN CONFERENCE.

/ Early in the forenoon the naval STRAIT
| egic board went into session and called
/ Consul General Lee into the conference.
/ The session was a long one and was
devoted to n thorough discussion of Of
fensive and defensive movements in
Cuban waters.
Crowding close upon these events was
the news that the flying squadron had
raised anchors and put to sea This
fact caused intense excitement in all
! quarters.
Despite the utmost precaution. il de-
Veloped shortly before noon that the
{ flying squadron had been ordered to
move from Hampton Roads. Appre-
ciating that deep significance was like
ly to be attached to the move. q quiet
ing and cautionary semi-official state
ment was made that the squadron
would go out for practice cruise of IS
hours. At first Secretary Long. would
neither affirm nor deny that the squad
ron was about TO move, stating that
positive rule had been made not to
mention any naval movements.
SOMETHING TO DO.
There were intimations, however,
that the movement was to give the
restless officers and men of this squad
ron something to do for a few days
Moreover, the brief practice cruise
probably will take the squadron out
side the capes. where they can be
reached easily by a dispatch boat if ii
becomes evident that they are needed
for offensive or defensive purposes at
some other point. Probably the most
significant action at the navy depart
ment was the issuance of instructions
to the naval auxiliary board at New
York for the purchase Of the ocean grey
hounds St Paul and St. Louis of the
American line, the purchase of another
first-class auxiliary cruiser. probably
the Yorktown of the Old Dominion line,
and the purchase of the Brazilian
cruiser Nictheroy. The last named yes
sci is about to be inspected, and the
result will determine the question of her
requirement by the United States.
EXPENSIVE TRANSACTION.
The purchase of the st. Paul and the
St Louis is probably the most expen-
sive transaction consummated by the
navy department since the beginning
of the war excitement. These vessels
cost over 100000 each. and are re-
garded as among the best vessels of
that class in the world, being exceeded
in speed only by the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse of the German and the Lu-
CANA and the Campania of the Eng
lish line.
lne amount ptiu LOT them - an blli-
cial secret, but it is known to be some
where in the neighborhood of $1,000 900.
The ST Paul left Southampton on the
9th inst, and is due in New York on
the 18th. The st. Louis is at an Eng
lish port, and the date of her return is
not stated. These vessels will be armed
for naval service as rapidly as possible. |
They probably viii be used mainly as
transport ships. or as commerce de-
stroyers, most probably the latter.
Signs of activity for what now seems
to be a probable conflict were contin-
ued at the war department, but Cen
eral Miles says that nothing is likely TO
be done in the way of moving any large I
body of troops southwark until there /
is more evidence that their services will /
be needed.
