River they were compelled 70 abandon
everything they had, except the gold they
carried. and four dogs They did not re-
serve even an ounce of food From there
on. Wilson and Wesley bought their
meals from people they met.
The trail on this side of the point
where the two adventures shed their
outfits is described as terrible. The re-
ports they bring from Dawson are most
encouraging. Several stampedes to Swede
Creek had taken place within the two
weeks prior 10 their departure. One claim
was reported to have turned out fifteen
dollars 10 the pan Three hundred five
foot claims in all had been recorded on
the creek up TO date.

suit of the discovery on Monte Cristo

phUr Dominion and Pear Creeks are
showing better all the time. 1t is VIII
sons opinion that the Spring cleanup will
run as high as $25. .000.OO0. Wilson says
his estimate of So. 900 900 as the output OF
the Yukon is based on examinations he
made of the dumps and data gathered
from miners. Alexander Macdonald says
his dumps contain 81, 100000. Stanley
Brothers, of Seattle will take out $500, ,009
and c Berry. of Fresno, 81. co., 009.
The water was beginning to run, and
washing has no doubt begun by now. In
Dawson there is an abundance of food
with flour selling from SO to $50 a sack.
The Skaguay trail above White Pass
is absolutely impossible. No freight IS
being taken higher than that point and
this is not the worst of the situation that
the early thaw has brought about Be-
tween Summit and Middle Lake are pent
up hundreds of men with pack animals
literally prisoners, who can neither go
backward nor forward for fear of the
crumbling away of the snow and ice
On Summit and Middle Lake the snow is

A three-wheeled motor vehicle propelled by
storage batteries is unique. One style of this
machine, which weighs but $50 pounds, has
running capacity of twenty miles to one charge
Another type, which weighs 1,250 pounds, is cap
able of running forty miles a single charge.
There several electrical propelled motor car

previously offered in that the current is supplied
by dry batteries instead of the liquid batteries

ACTING TN BAD FAITH.
German and Austrian Naval At
taches Under Suspicion.


Considerable excitement and Indignation
was aroused at the Navy Department
Saturday by information received by wire
from Naval Constructor Woodward, at
Newport News, Va. The latter tele-
graphed to Chief Naval Constructor Hich-
born, in this city, reporting the visit OF
the naval attaches of the German and
Austrian embassies at the Newport News
shipyards. They were refused admission,
and their peculiar subsequent behavior
aroused the suspicious of Naval Con
structor Woodward, who deemed it his
duty TO notify the Government OF the
facts.
According to Mr.. Woodward S report,
the attaches called at his office Saturday
morning and presented cards bearing tue
names of Commander Vaschwitz, of the
German navy. and Lieut.. Roden, OF the
French navy, and requested admission to
the yard. The naval constructor refused
his callers admission and telegraphed 10
Chief Constructor Hichborn for instruc-
tions.
Subsequently Mr.. Woodward aseertained
that his visitors, after their departure
from his office. called on Capt. Warbur-
ton the officer having charge of the de-
tachment of men guarding the yard, and
asked his permission to enter. To him
they presented letter signed by Mr..
Roosevelt. but on the ground that Mr..
Roosevelt had resigned he declined to al
low the mentrance.
These foreigners were afterwards found
in the inclosure. apparently making
sketches. They were brought before Capt.
Warburton who finally released them
after Mr.. Woodward has received instruc-
tions from Secretary Long TO honor Mr..
Roosevelt's letter This incident is re-
garded as an unfortunate one by naval
officials. and it IS expected that the Ger
man and Austrian governments will call
the offenders 10 account when the matter
is brought to their attention
Naval Constructor Woodward's report
has been brought to the attention of Sec
retary Long, and ii Is believed that he
will refer it to the State Department.
1t Is said that Lieut.. Roden is a naval
attaohe Of the Austrian embassy in This

SCHEME TO GET COAL
Spain May Capture 1t By Pre-
yious arrangements.
SUSPICIOUS MOVEMENT
Neutrality Law Has Been Avoided
in Like Manner Before-Lightship
Removed From Diamond Shoals
No Contact Mines in Norfolk Har-
bor.

Norfolk Va. May 15.-Naval officers at
this port express the belief that the
Spanish fleet may possibly be able to get
coal by capturing, by previous arrange
ment. vessels carrying this valuable con-
traband of war. The big British steam
ship King Frederick, Capt Taylor. clear
ed from this port yesterday for Tampico
Mexico, with cargo of three thousand
tons of the best Pocahontas steamer coal
While there is no evidence that Capt
Taylor intends falling a willing prize to
the Spanish, the naval officers called at
tention to the fact that such things are
constantly done to avoid neutrality law
and the King Fredericks course lies dan
gerously near the lighting territory.
The fine lightship which was stationed
last fall off the dangerous Diamond
Shoals, off Cape Hatteras and which
safely rode out the winter storms, has
been taken off her station and it is i'm
probable that she will be replaced until
after the close of hostiIities.
Other lghtships along the coast will
also be removed for the same reason. but
the Dons' feet is likely to come to greater
grief, owing to the absence of the Dia-
mond Shoals ship than for any other
cause. Contact mines have not been laid
in Hampton Roads and the lower Chesa-
peake, nor have mines of any description
been laid in Norfolk harbor, owing to the
serious injury to the ports commercial
interests sure to result from such a dan
gerous method of protection. All mines
so far laid are operated from regular
mining easements by electricity. Mean
time all vessels may enter the port with
out danger.
Emergency work at the Norfolk navy
yard was going on today. A considerable
force was employed in loading 1900 pound
shells on a barge. These, it is reported,
will be sent to the squadron probably on
the cruiser New Orleans. which has not
left Hampton Roads, but appears to be
waiting here for some purpose.

THE CRISIS POSTPONED
Cabinet Meeting in Madrid Yes
terday.
MR.. CHAMBERLAIN DISCUSSED
Spain Would Welcome an Anglo
American Alliance, as 1t Might
WIFE Ask the Powers Officially
What LIS Thought of the Speech.

Madrid, May ia prolonged meeting
of the cabinet was held today. Contrary
to expectations, Prime Minister Sagasta
made no statement after the meeting.
Regarding the talked-of changes in the
cabinet the belief prevails that the min
listers viii postpone the crisis.
1t IS learned that the cabinet discussed
the question of sending an expedition to
the Philippine Islands for the purpose of
ousting Admiral Dewey. 1t was agreed
10 summon Admiral Camarara. com
manding the Cadiz squadron, TO Madrid,
10 inform the government what vessels
he has ready to pass through the Suez
Canal The expedition will start at the
earliest possible moment. The troops who
are TO take part in the expedition are
everywhere feted.
1t is believed that the cabinet will con-
slider Mr.. Chamberlain's speech and will
afterwards invite the European powers
10 express their opinion of the probable
effect of an Anglo-American alliance on
Europe's interests. 1t is stated that notes
on the subject are already being drafted.
The Liberal says that Spain is not
frightened by the threat of an Anglo
American alliance. The day the agree
rnent is signed will be the date of gen
eral confagration, and Germany and
Russia. with their allies, will face Great
Britain and the United States. The out
break will involve India, Africa and Man
churia.
The Impartial contrasts the speech Of
Mr. Chamberlain with the action Of the
crew Of the French warship, Admiral
Rigault de Genouilly, in cheering for
Spain after the bOmbardment of San
Juan. which it holds indicates a coming
war against the Anglo-SaXon race.
1t declares that Europe cannot witness
the destruction Of Spain, and says that
arrangements have already been entered
upon with Germany regarding the Philip
pine Islands.

more large cruisers, two smaller ones and
two supply ships are reported to be at
rendezvous near this island taking on full
supplies of coal for all the warships and

1t IS believed that the American consul

traordinary supply of coal is being OBJ
tanned and has lodged a protest with the
local government
The times., 1898-05-16

Curacao and some of the adjacent ISL
ands are Dutch possessions. The supply
of coal allowed in a neutral port to the
warship of a bellgerent is supposed to be
merely enough 10 take her 10 the nearest
port of her country, which in this case
would be Ponce, Puerto Rico. If the fleet
is loading two supply ships with coal 1t
will have enough TO take cit half way
around the world.
The two smaller warships referred to
to are, no doubt. the Pluton and Furor,
torpedo boat destroyers. The cruisers are
the Vizcaya, Almirante Oquendo, Infanta
Maria Teresa and Cristobal Colon.
1t has previously been reported that

Visitor to Washington Comments on the
afety of Young Women

Visitor to Washington Comments on the
Safety of Young Women.
Zone thing that has struck me as
remarkable about this town-and there
are several others-is that young wo-
men here have no fear whatever in
going about the streets after night
fall" said a western man visiting in
Washington, speaking to Star re-
porter. "That's something that you
don't see in any other big city in this
country that I've ever been in and 1
believe I've been in them all. 1 am
stopping quite a distance uptown with
friends, and the streets are not particu-
larly we'll lighted Whereabouts, yet ev-
cry night, as late as 10 or II o'clock,
I see young women, unaccompanied,
walking unconcernedly by with music
rolls in their hands-theres a vocal
academy near where I'm stopping
without any apparent thought of the
probability of their being molested. In
view of this, suppose the only natural
inference is that the probability
doesn't exist. And then downtown, on
even 10 O'Clock, I often see, in the
course of a stroll, young women of
perfectly obvious responsibility hurry
ing along that big thoroughfare-
hurrying, apparently, with the notion
that there's any chance of their get
ting into trouble, but simply to get
home. There seems to be a complete
absence of the street corner masher in
this town. I'm bound to confess that
respectable young woman who, be-
lated, is compelled to pass through any
of the main thoroughfares of most of
our big cities when night is we'll under
way, is simply cut of luck, and that's
all there is about it-for, somehow or
another, men generally don't take it
for granted that respectable women are
ever on the streets alone after night
fall under any circumstances, and they
share this idea in common with the
Nasty young men of nearly all of the
big cities. Another thing is that I've
noticed any number of women at the
Washington theaters alone or in pairs,
unaccompanied by any male being
whatsoever. That wouldn't go in any
other of the big towns I've had ex-
perience in, either. For it's size-for
its size MISUNDERSTANDING is just
about as close to the popular concep-
ton Of Arcadia as any burg I've yet
struck" ~ .~@a~

pecially when it is understood
that they had the faster vessels
and the element of surprise in
their favor. Greater odds than
we're possessed by the Americans
in this engagement have been over
come many times IN naval history
and the greatest surprise of it all
is the quick destruction of the en-
emy's entire fleet and the incon-
siderable damage to ours. The
Americans were not astonished
for they have sublime faith in the
navy and expected just such
things of it. Other countries have
not had this faith in the same de-
gree, but thay are rapidly coming
to our opinion.
