morning and took breakfast at the eating
house here. He talked freely except on the
subjects of Spain and the probability of
war. He said that the most gratifying
thing he met with on his trip was the splen-
did conduct and spirit of the Southern peo-
pie. He felt that it was worth the total
cost of all preparations for war to demon
strate what a sterling loyal spirit was cher
ished throughout the South as he had seen
it, He said he had gathered some facts, but
did not know just what bearing they might
have on the present situation. He would
have to find out the situation at home be-
fore he could even judge fairly Of the
knowledge he had gained on the trip.

INTERVIEWER IN BERLIN.
Ambassador White Reported as Talk
ing Rather Plainly.

ing Rather Plainly.
LONDON, March 13.-The Sunday Special
publishes from it's Berlin correspondent an
interview with United States Ambassador
White on the attitude of the United States
towards Spain and the Cuban situation
Ambassador White, according to this dis
patch, declared the statement that the
United States had entered into alliance
with England and Japan absolutely without
foundation.
"The United States Mr.. White is re-
ported to have said, will never bind her
self by such an alliance. President McKin-
leys administration cannot act against the
tradition which fo1t all such complica-
tions in Americas international relations.
Least of all will it do so for the sake of
American interests in the far East.
1.-The fear OF war with Spain must not be
taken too seriously. The $50, 900 credit is
no proof that the United States intends go
ing to war, since the government had long
demanded such a credit for the purposes of
harbor defense This, however, had been
postponed owing to the niggardly policy
Congress had hitherto pursued" Character
izing as quite untrue the statement that
the United States had placed large orders
with Herr Krupp, Mr.. White is reported
as adding: America possesses ammunition
of all kinds and war material in the gov
eminent factories sufficient for every emer-
gency."
Lieutenant Allen, the United States mill
tary attache at Berlin, is reported by the
Sunday Special correspondent as confirming
Ambassador Whites view of the situation,
on the strength of private advices that
have reached the American embassy, al
leging that the Investigations of the Amer
lean court of inquiry clearly indicate that
the sinking of the Maine was not due to
accident that substantial evidence to this
effect had been discovered, but that, owing
to the excited state of public feeling these
facts have been withheld from notification.

WASHINGTON. March 13.-To Post re-
porter Senator Proctor said: Concerning
the cause of the Maine disaster, L feel free
to say that such information as 1 have OBJ
tanned indicates that the explosion was
from the outside. 1t does not show that the
Spanish government or any of it's officials
in Havana were participants in the crime.
In the first place, do not think there were
any mines in the harbor. I have not the
slightest knowledge of what the decision of
the naval court of inquiry will be. or when
it wifi reach Washington. Such informa
ton as 1 have is entirely of an unofficial
character"

Mines for Portsmouth Harbor.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., March 13.-Plans
for the placing of submarine mines for
Portsmouth harbor have been mapped out
and large force of men have been actively
at work near the Notifications all day. 1t is
claimed, however, that these mines will be
of little use, owing to the great depth of
water in the river, there being over ten
fathoms in the channel from the entrance
at Newcastle to within a short distance of
the navy, yard Hundreds of men have
visited the navy yard during the last week
to enlist, but as there is enlistment
bureau here valuable men have been lost
to the navy. A request will be forwarded
at once to the Navy Department for the es-
adjustment of such station for the enlist
ment of men from Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont

steamer Grand republic Burned.


ST. LOUIS, March 13.-From fire, the
origin of which is unknown, the well-known
Mississippi river excursion steamer Grand
Republic burned to the waters edge to-day
at the mouth Of the river Des Peres, near
South st. Louis. Nothing was saved and
Capt. w. II. Thorwegan, his wife and two
children and the Waterman had narrow
and thrilling escape. The loss amounts to
$4,000. The Grand Republic was tied up for
the winter and those on board were maxi
ing it their home. They lost all their per-
sonal belongings and escaped in barely
enough to clothe themselves. Alongside the
burning steamer were moored the steamers
Vicksburg and the City of Providence. Both
boats were in danger of being burned but
before they caught fire they were cut loose
and towed to places of safety by a Missouri
Pacific transfer tug.

in the river, and as soon as her marines ar
rive will steam to the magazine.
The government tug Leyden is expected
tomorrow or Tuesday, and will tow
large bargeload of coal to Key West. 1t is
reported that the government is negotiat-
ing for the purchase of a number of large
barges in this city to be used for carrying
coal and supplies. The work of recruiting
landsmen, ordinary seamen and machinisis
will continue until further orders. There
has been rush of applicants for the army
and marine branches of the service all
week. but the officers in charge are ac-
cepting only those who pass a most rigid
examination. In consequence only few
are being chosen, and these are men vino
come up TO every requirement.
Comparative quiet also prevailed at the
other establishments in this vicinity capa-
BILE of executing government work. The
officials of the Midvale steel works are al
ways reticent about work going on there,
but from other sources it was learned that
extra forces of men have lately been work
ing on projectiles
No Sunday work is under way at the
Frankfort arsenal. Last week an order
was received there to work ten hours day,
but whatever contract was involved has
probably been completed, for the order was
rescinded last night. The average daily
output of cartridges there is 5000 rounds,
but during the tsn-hour day this could be
increased by from eight to ten thousand.
1t is the only arsenal in the United States
where small ammunition is made. The
number of employees has been gradually in
creased of late to from 600 to 200 workmen.
AT the Schulxyll arsenal nothing was go
ing on. This arsenal merely makes cloth
ing and tents for the regular army and
sometimes for the State militia, and It en-
ploys about ninety persons.
There was work to-day at Cramps ship
yard, but it was ON the new Klondike
steamers Indiana and Pennsylvania. Moth
ing was being done on the battle ship Ala
bama or the Japanese cruiser Kasagi.

HISTORY OF THE JANE GRAY.
Once Capsixed by an Iceberg In the
Arctic ocean.

The schooner Jane Gray was built In
Bath, Me-. In 1887 for a whaler. She made
several cruises In the North Atlantic, but
was brought around Cape Horn after a
few years. Her home port was changed
10 San Francisco and she was sent out on
several whaling cruises. Five or six years
ago she was in the Arctic ocean whaling
when huge iceberg fell on her deck and
capsized her. The captain and crew were
compelled to take to the boats. They
reached shore In safety and persuaded the
captain of a United States revenue cutter
TO go out after the schooner. The revenue
cutter lowed in the schooner and the own
ers finally got her back. Extensive repairs
were made and the schooner continued her
cruise. She spent several years on sealing
trips TO Boring sea and the Japan coast
In that time she weathered many strong
gales and has always been considered a
strong vessel.
For some time prior TO coming TO Seat
tie the Jane Gray was tied up at Oakland,
Cal. Her owners thought they could dis
pose of her for the Alaskan traffic and
brought her to Seattle on a speculation
She made the trip up the coast in good
time. In spite OF dscQuraging head winds
For four days she lay off Cape Flattery.
where she went down on May % She was
finally picked up by the tug Rescue and
towed into port.

building a deck house for the accommo-
dalton of some fifty passengers. This
deck house was built just ahaft the fore
mast and extended the entire width of the
vessel. Her cabin at the stern was re-
paired ani the vessel given thorough 60

before she got away and when finished ev-

To DIG GOLD FOR LUIGI.
such Was the Plan of "a Party Aboard
the Jane GRAY.

The largest party on board the Inflated
Jane Gray was known as Ingrshams Gold
Seekers. They were bound for the golden
kotzehua in the interests Of Prince Luigi.
OF Italy. the famous mountain climber,
who added To his lsurels by going up
Mount 81. Elias last summer. Mai f. $
Insraham, of this city. formed the party
and was 10 direct its operations.
There were fifteeen men in the party. all
strong and experienced. Several of them
Were University OF Washington football
players, famous for their strength on the
sftdifon. All were TO put in their best
EFFORTS for TWO years TO pour a stream OF
Arctic gold from their siuics boxes into
Prince Lu.g.s Golfers and at the same
time enrich themselves. for the prince had
been liberal In his contract. The bodies
or eleven OF 1ngraham's men, including thu
heads OF two of his sub parties, now have
the mighty Pacific for Their sepulehre.
Last summer Prince Luigi. with some
other blue bloods from Italy. came 10 Sc
attic for the purpose of climbing Mount
ST. Elias They had heard before OF the
fame of Maj. f. 5. Ingraham and arranged
with him before leaving Italy To form
their party. insraham chartered the
yacht Aggie and secured the services Of a
half dozen strong young men. several of
whom lost their lives in the laundering of
the Jane Gray. The start was finally made
and the mountain successfully climbed.
IL was while Luigi was on this mountain
climbing trip that he first heard OF the
wonderful richness OF Alaska.s gold de-
posts. He told Mai lngraham 10 keep
him posted and agreed to furnish neces-
sary capital If Ingraham desired 10 go in
az the head of the party.
When Maj. lngraham finally heard of the
wonderful kotzebue sound country he de-
cided that he wanted to go on gold hunt
ing trip. He notified the Italian prince and
was at once given Instructions TO so
ahead with his plans. 1t took some $1,000
to outfit the party as Ingraham thought
they should be- but the money WAS forth
coming. Everything that could possibly
be needed during their proposed two
years stay in the interior was included
in their outfit, which weighed many TONS
Luigi's money WAS not spared, and the
lngraham party left here with the most
complete outfit ever purchased in this city
Ingraham even went to tho expense of
having a steam launch built especially
for the trip. Ii was on the deck of the
schooner when she sailed.

A Juror Who Was Guilty.

In commenting upon the merits OF the

cites a remarkable murder case which
arose IN Maine. The evidence was Who'll

Convincing that all reasonable doubt was
removed from the minds OF lawyers and
Iovmen alike. Motive and opportunity
were clearly established. Threats against
the deceased were proven. The wea-

been the instrument OF death was
recognized as belonging to the ac-

was discovered that eleven OF the twelve
