CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-The states OF
Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois are prac-
tically snowbound. Reports from
Cedar Rapids and Webster City, Ia,
Freeport, Bloomington, Rockford and
Galesburg, Ills, indicate an average
snow fall of two feet. Throughout
Wisconsin and Northern Michigan the
fall was much heavier, in fact the
greatest of the season. A 40-mile gale
has piled the snow into enormous
drifts, completely paralyzing street
railway traffic and seriously interfering
with the operation of trains on the
steam roads. The Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul, the Northwestern and
the Wisconsin Central trains have
been delayed in some instances 10
hours owing to the heavy drifts and
steady fall of snow which makes the
use of the snow plows unavailing.

BUY UP THE JUNTA.

Such Said to Be the Expe citation of the

HAVANA, via Key West, Fla, Feb.
e1.-Senor Jose Congosto, the secretary
general, is said to have asserted in a
private interview that the government
expected to be able to "buy up" several
members of the New York junta. 1t Is
generally believed, however, that the
statement was made in order to quiet
discomfort here arising from tho mill
tary failures of General Blanco and
General Pando in the east.
Rumors have reached here of the
landing of an important expedition
near the river Marianoa, this province,
but as yet the name of the vessel of the
leader of the party is undisclosed.

into the harpor owing to the dense fog
and rain storm which has prevailed for
over forty-eight hours. The feeling
which prevails among a great many
people in this vicinity that the Amer
lean battleship was destroyed deliber-
ately by enemies of the United States,
prompted the naval authorities to guard
against any possible harm being done
to the visiting Spaniard at the hands
of anybody Admiral Bunce, COM
mander of the hayward, received or
ders from Washington to establish a
careful and well appointed patrol to
guard against any such emergency. As

Fired the Usual Salute.
On the arrival of the Vizcaya at The

Health Officer Doty with the quaran-

side, asked the customary questions
and received bills of health and re-
ceived assurance that all had been well
since leaving Spain. Surgeon Jurado

caya had Ii officers and 466 crew,
making total of 484 on board
At p. m. Castle William, on Gov.

cruiser Vizcaya with the customary 81
guns. Neither Fort Wadsworth nor
Fort Hamilton fired a salute. They
have not done so in recent years.
In an interview with the Associated
Press Captain Eulate said that while
his ship was in this port his officers
would accept no invitations of any
kind. He likened his visit to that OF
one intimate friend with another.
When the disaster had overtaken the
latter, the same delicacy dictated what
30 do to mourn with the friend and
to avoid all festivity. No invitation OF
a social character would be accepted
this he wished to have understood.
