IN THE CASE OF WAR.
Guatelama Will Probably Lend
Her Strength to Costa Rica.

WASHINGTON, March. lin the
event of war between Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA it is said that the alliance
known as the Greater Republic would
give TO Nicaragua the armed strength
of Salvador and Honduras The Mica
raguan army is estimated at about s.
600 men. Salvador has not more than
5000 soldiers. but Honduras has the
best armed and equipped force in Cen
trail America. numbering 10000. Against
these the Costa Rican army of about
5000 seems insignificant But in the
present calculations it is thought that
Guatemala would cast her influence
with Costa Rica. Guatemala has an
army Of about 10000 In this event
the forces would be evenly matched
with Nicaragua Honduras and Saliva
dor arrayed against Guatemala and
Costa Rica.
The basis for the view that Guatemala
may be drawn into the controversy is
the fact that the new President of the
Republic was a special envoy to Costa
RIGA when the latter country was in a
former conflict With other Central
American States. AT that time Guate-
mala was looked upon as the ready
ally of Costa Rica, and ii is thought
that Cabrera would again incline to the
same alliance.

YUKON RELIEF EXPEDITION.
The War Department Has Decided
TO Abandon the Project.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-The War
Department has decided to abandon its
expedition for the relief of the miners
in the Klondike country, because the
conclusion has been reached that no
necessity exists for it.
Secretary Alger has written a letter
to Senator Hawley, Chairman of the
Senate Committee on Military Affairs,
explaining the departments position
and asking that Congress take action
by joint resolution authorizing the de-
partment to dispose of the supplies pur-
chased for the expedition, including the
reindeer which have just arrived from
Norway, and to abandon the project
entirely.
In his letter Secretary Alger says the
conditions on the Yukon have changed
so as TO render the expedition unnec-
essary. and that General Miles and
General Merriam both agree with him.
He is also advised to this effect by
the Canadian Minister of the Interior.
Later advices than those received last
December. when the expedition was de-
cided upon, indicate also, he says, that
the miners are in no danger of suffer-
ing, and he thinks that the great
croNuS OF prUSpeclOIS now going over
Dyea Pass will carry sufficient provis-
ions to divide with the miners in case
they need assistance.
General Alger expresses the opinion
that the reindeer can be sold at price
sufficient to reimburse the Government
for their cost He says he has been
offered 800 each for 100 Of them. This
amount is above the cost price. He
also states that the Interior Depart
ment is anxious to take charge of the
animals. He asks for authority to sell
the supplies purchased for the expedi
ton.

Mcmillan Cd of Tennessee suggested
that the enforcement of this rule, which

The witness said that when Sam
Coon vas brought to the station
house he was taken into the room
where Look Wan was. and the latter,
who was unable to speak, pointed with
his finger toward him and said: "Ahi
