SPANS GAME EXPOSED.
Talk of Axtnisfiee was to Secure Re-
moval Of Key West Fleet.


Washington, April 1.-The state
ment was made today BY public man
in close touch with the administration
that the effort to secure a settlement OF
the war between Spain and the inEur-
gents through an armistiee has come to
definite conclusion, and that the fall
ure was due 70 the refusal Of the gov
ernment of the United States to re-
move its feet from Key West. Accord-
ing to this statement, Spain made the
removal q condition precedent to her
offering an afmistice, with the end In
view of granting the independence OF
Cuba. This proposition was met with
refusal. though not until after it had
been seriously considered.
The congressional opponents Of
war policy, who had counted upon the
acceptance of this condition By the
United States. admit that the outlook
for peace has grown almost hopeless
since this determination.
Some diplomats have suggested
meeting of representatives in Washing
ton of the European powers, in order
to see il something cannot bs done to
preserve peace. Il is felt BY diplo-
mats who desire even mediation that
any move must be made quickly.
Archbishop Ireland called 1t the
state department today, and was imme-
diately conducted to Judge Days room.
At noon Judge Day said there had been
offered no mediationo or Intervention by
the other powers.

Another, and probably the most sig
niiicant straw showing the finality
reached by the United States govern
ment, was the authoritative statement
that Consul General Lee would leave
Havana Saturday. This step, it is
known, will be regarded by Spain as
akin to an overt act preceding war. as
it will terminate the medium Of official
intercourse between the United States
and the island.
Third, and almost equally import
ant, was the ominous tones OF press adj
vices from Madrid, where the war feel
irg seems to dominate. Instead Of
concessions, the opening Of prison
doors, and the other manifestations of
peace and good will which Holy Thurs
day was expected to bring forth, and
the more definite announcement of ac-
tion that would bring peace to Cuba.
the heavy guard about Minister Wood
ford's house, the imperative character
of the semi-official note. the war utter
ance OF Minister Correa and the turbu-
lence at the Spanish capital. left little
hope that pacific counsels would pre-
vail.
No negotiations are proceeding at
Madrid on the part of this government,
but the powers Of Europe are doing
their utmost to persuade the Spanish
government to yield and avert war.
On the highest authority it can be
stated that no instructions have been
given as yet to Minister Woodford con-
templating his withdrawal, the only
step in that direction being the deter
mination that General Lee shall leave
Havana today.

A later dispatch via Victoria says:
The horror OF the DYea trail is growing
in magnitude hourly. AS the work of
rescue proceeds, it becomes more ap-
parent that many more lives were lost
than at fret thought possible, It is
now believed that between 90 and 100
men and women we've killed by the
avalanche. Many bodies will not be
recovered until the summer sun melts
tons of snow and ice that now bury
them from sight.
Two or three thousand men are
working in relays Of as many as can
stand side by side shoyeling away the
snow in search of the dead and dying.
Twenty-Five dead bodies have been re-
covered and identified, and s5 persons
have been taken out alive.
Seventeen employees OF the Chilkoot
Railway s. Tram Company, who went
to the summit on the morning ofthe
slide to work, are missing, and It IS
feared they are among the lost.
It il estimated that 10000 tons OF
outfits are buried under the snow and
ice. There we're smaller slides before
the death-dealing avalanche was started.
About a. a.. M. a small slide occuned,
which buried several cabins. The
alarm was spread, and many people
were endeavoring to work back to Sheep
Camp when the big disaster occurred.

One S Future WiTe's Name.

He was chatty kind of conjurcr,
and was anxious to open the evenings
entertainment merrily. So he stepped
forward to the front Of the stage and
said Ladies and gentlemen, if there
is in this audience any young man
who would like to know the name of
his future wife. if that young man
will kindly step up, l will undertake
to tell him, and this is no guessing

young man kindly stand up %

Watering Trees at TranspIanting.

4 correspondent of Green Fruit
Grower says Il have planted, per-
haps, a million Of trees in MY lifetime.
I have met with but few failures, and
can not remember having watcred any
of these trees. If the soil is made
thoroughly fine before planting; if the
soil about the roots is pressed in very
firm, as firm as fence-post; if the
soil is left loose on the top, and kept
continuously loose by cultivation, the
trees will live even though the season
may be dry
In connection with this paragraph,
it may be noted that, on one occasion
within the experience of the writer, a
large number Of trees which had been
planted in the spring, and had grown
tolerably we'll, showed signs during
the following very; dry summer Of
wiltering their leaves for want of
water. An examination seemed to
show that although the trees had been
we'll planted in the common accepta-
tion Of the term, yet the earth in
many cases was not packed closely
around the roots. 1t was not con-
vcnient to water them. The owner
was recommended to pound the earth
around the trees with heavy ram
mer. This was done. 1t is almost
impossible to convey an idea of the
force used on this occasion. A force
was exerted fully equal to that employ
ed by the regular rammers in paving
the streets. The earth be nga very
dry was reduced to fine powder by this
process, and moisture drawn upwards
by capillary attraction. In couple
of days afterwards, there was not the
slightest sign Of wiltering, although
no water had been applied, and they
continued to grow without any 'evi-
dence of suffering for want Of water
until the next rain came. Had the
soil not been heavily beaten in this
way, their death would have been
absolutely certain.

 DEMANDS AN
 INVESTIGATION AgneWs Board T akes Up Bailey Case. DR. SPON0GLE ON THE RACK PLAIN QUESTIONS PUT TO THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR. It Is Insinuated That He Circulated Scanda1ous Stories to Injure
 the First Assistant
 Physician.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Dec. 15.-The investga- t1on into Bessie Baileys death did not end yesterday with the adoption of th@ resolution that her demise resulted from natural causes. To-day the Board of Managers of Agnews Asylum re- opened the case in secret session. This was at the request of Dr. L. F. Stock ing, first assistant physician at the asylum, who is not satisfied with the outcome of yesterdays investigation. The inquisition was only started and will be resumed at meeting of the board next Monday
 The meeting of the board to-day was to consider bids for supplies for the en- suing six months. Trustees Gould. Cur now, Hale, White and Upham were present. Dr. Stocking went to each in dividual member and demanded an in vestigation. He said newspaper re- ports had coupled his name with Bes- sic Bailey's actions at the asylum. and these insinuationS and inuendoeS had done him an injustice.
 After the bids were opened the board adjourned to pr. Sponogles office. and there, behind closed doors and drawn blinds, with all the members sworn to the greatest secrecy, the investigation regarding Miss Bailey's death was re- opened. Sponogle and Stocking were the only others present.
 Stocking was first examined, and told virtually the same story as yester- day. He gave a lucid explanation and denial of the stories printed in the Ex- aminer ref1ecting on him, and his testi- mony made good impression on the managers.
 Dr. Sponogle was then put through the sweating" process. About the first question propounded to him was by Chairman Curnow, who asked:
 "Dr. Sponogle, is it a fact that you have been giving these sensational stories to newspapers with view to injuring Dr. Stocking?"
 Sponogle became uneasy. He squirmed and hemmed and hawed and proved himself an artful dodger in try ing to eyade the question. He inallyre- covered himself sufficiently to make a denial. Hale, Gould, White and Up- ham questioned him along the same line. He knew nothing about the stor- ies, and denied having given out any information. Sponogle did not know whether any of the attaches of the in- stitution had given out information. The rest of his testimony was similar to that of yesterday.
 The board wanted to .deIve further into the matter, but it was discovered that all the attaches who saw any thing of Bessie Bailey on the morning of her departure were away. The at tendants on the ward on that morning and the coachman were off duty. This caused some comment.
 An adjournment was taken with the understanding that the case would be brought up at the next meeting. On Monday morning the board will meet to award contracts, and the secret in- quiry will then be resumed.

FROZEN TO DEATH NEAR THE
 MEADOWS.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, Dec. 15-Miners who reached here from Skaguay by the steamer Danube bring news of the death of one of Skaguay's best known packers and merchants, John E. Ferro, who was frozen to death on the snow buried White Pass a few days before that steamer left the gateway city. Ferro, who was the first man to bring out news of the Atlin Lake gold fields, was on the way back from Bennett when the fatality occurred. News of his death was brought to Skaguay by c. w. Emery, who accompanied Ferro some of the way on his fatal trip.
 Emery overlook Ferro just as he was approaching Brooks Camp, and, seeing how emaciated and exhausted he was, gave him a horse. The two then con- tinued their journey together. When they reached the Meadows, Emery Sug- gested that they stop and have dinner. Ferro refused, saying he had no money, but when Emery insisted he went in and ate heartily. After dinner they continued the journey to the north side of the summit. Emery stopped here for few moments to speak with an ingong miner. Ferro went on. and when Emery turned to look after him he had disappeared.
 Emery at once started in pursuit, but could find no trace of the unfortunate packer or the horse until some time afterward, when he saw him standing alone on a high point near Summit Lake, fully a mile from the trail. Emery immediately went to him. Be- fore he had conversed with him two minutes he saw that the packer had lost his reason. He talked insanely and, despite all assertions to the con- trary, argued that he was still on the trail Asked as to what had become of the horse, Ferro said he had tied his blankets and gun on it and turned 1t loose, because, he said, 1t would not fol- low the trail.
 Ferro refused to proceed farther and Emery left him and went to the near est railway camp for assistance. Fear ing Ferro might die before he returned, he asked what message he was to send to the packers family.
 Tell my wife I froZe to death" said Ferro
 Emery hastened to the nearest camp of the railway workers, and, accom- panied by five railroad men, hurried back They were too late, however, for they found the body of the dead packer lying in the snow, with life extinct. He had not been dead long, for the body was still warm.
 It is reported that at least twelve of the railway employees have been frozen to death, but no confirmation could be oh airp6

Representative of Aguinaldo Says His Country Will Resist Attempt
 to Sell the Philippines.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-Agoncillo. the ren- resentative of Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader in the Philippine Islands. sails for New York on Saturday to, as he alleges resume his duties as representative of inc Philippine Government at Washington. In an interview he said:
 The only portion of the Spanish ican treaty which we are concerned in is the cession of the Philippines, which is illegal, as the Spaniards lost the SOW ereignty over the islands, and the Amer jeans cannot dispose of the future of the archipelago without consulting the FiIi- plnos. Their consent, by a popular vote IS necessity. As universal suffrage forms the basis Of the American constitl1tion the United States cannot carry out inc annexation plan, The result of the Peane Commissioners' deliberations is only sat lstactory to us inasmuch as Spain is turned out of the Philippine Islands. I do not know officially why the Filipinos naye not released the Spanish prisoners. I te1 egraphed to Aguinaldo on the subiect and l hereby declare it to be untrue fhat they are held for a ransom. I can only regard the possible eventual sale of rne Islands as being nonsensical. My conn trymen will resist to the bitter end any attempt to sell the Philippines to any for elgn power. We are anxious to be united and allied to our good friends. the Amer jeans, but, beyon4 this, We are deter mined at all hazards to remain independ- ent.'

 rarily Insane.

PORTERVILLE, Dec. 15.-John Henry Mcfarland of the firm of Mcfarland x Son, dry goods merchants of this place, committed suicide last night. His body was found in the office at the rear of the store by Charles Trager, one of his clerks, at the hour of opening the store for the days business this morning.
