KLoNDIKE GOLD
Will Come Out in Installments for
Several Reasons

DAWSON CITY, March 20, via Seattle,
April Fit is now definitely known that
only small portion of the gold output of
the klondike mines will go out on the
first steamer. The treasure will be
shipped on nearly every steamer during
the summer and the total amount that
will be sent to the outside cannot be esti-
mated until late in July. The dust and
nuggets stored in the safes of the Alaska
Commercial Company and the North
American Transportation and Trading
Company, aggregating several millions of
dollars, will go on the first boat, together
with the proceeds of the mines of which
the owners are fortunate enough to make
a June clean up. The recent discoveries
of gold on islands in the Yukon river has
caused a stampede from this place of men
who have been unable to secure claims in
this vicinity.

The United States monitor Terror, Captain

steamer Guido, bound from Corunna Spain,

had on board large cargo of provisions
and money intended for the Spanish troops
in Cuba. The capture took place ten miles
off Cardenas, after a desperate chase,
during which the Terror and the gunboat
Machias fired, almost blowing the Span
iard's pilot into the water.
The Terror was alone when the Guido

chase. After a blank shot had been fired,
to order the steamer to heave to, the
Spaniard put out all her lights and fired

IN THE HOUSE
Close Of General Debate on the War
Revenue Bill


WASHINGTON, April 2S-Before the
debate upon the War Revenue Bill was re-
sumed in the House today an urgency war
measure was passed by unanimous con-
sent to repeal the limitations upon the pur-
chase of quartermasters' supplies during
the existing war with Spain.
Mr.. Payne (Rep0 of New York, men,
ber of the Ways and Means Committee,
was the first speaker on the War Revenue
bill today.
Mr. Miller Democrat Of Tennessee crit
icised some of the internal revenue fea-
lures of the bill as especially onerous upon
the DOOR and argued that the wealth of the
country should bear a greater portion of
the war taxes. He quoted Secretary Gage
as saying that $780, 900 was sufficient to
prosecute the war. AS there were now
in the treasury s2OOOOO.O0o. he contended
that a bond authorization was unneces-
sary.
Mr.. Hopkins Republican) of Illinois
commended the bill as the best that could
be framed to raise extraordinary revenues.
Over $55, 900 900 would be obtained from
beer and tobacco, articles of voluntary con-
sumption. The remainder would come
from tonnage taxation, and from the stamp
tax, which would fall mainly upon the
classes able to pay. The bond feature of
the bill has been urged, he said, by the
patriotic administration which was %
prosecute the war. He denied the in
come tax proposition of the minority.
The general debate on the war revenue
bill closed tonight, after eight and half
hours of speech making. The debate today
lacked both spirit and interest. There was
little discussion of the internal revenue
features of the bill. The Democrats con-
tinued their assaults on the bond feature
and their advocacy of the income tax. The
latter was ridiculed as a substitute PROPOSE
tion by the Republicans. The authority
to borrow money was defended by them a S
absolutely necessary. There is a difference
of opinion on the Democratic side as to
whether the bill should be voted for upon
its final passage, after the minority amend
ments are voted down. A number of Dem
ocrats, led by Mcclellan of New York
have announced their purpose of so voting
but the majority of the Democrats say
they could not justify vote for bond
issue. An effort is being made to avoid
an aye and nay vote on the flnal passage
to prevent an exhibition of this division
and tonight it seems probable that it will
be successful. There may be some diff
Guilty about the committee amendments
decided upon today, as under the order,
the bond features of the bill must first be
taken up under the five-minute rule to-
morrow. If the amendments to these sec
tions should exhaust the time before 4
o'clock, the committee amendments would
be ruled out and would have to be inserted
by the senate.
Representative Sherman moved that
when the house adjourned at tonight's ses-
sion it be to meet at 10 O'clock which was
agreed to.
The committee then rose and at $40
o'clock took a recess until o'clock.

But in the momentary delay the Terror
had gained upon him, while ahead, ready
to intercept him should he continue his
