KLONDIKE bark WRECKED.
Forty Lives Lost ON n voyage 20 the
Gold Fields of Alaska.


San Francisco. March 22.-Upon the arr
rival Of the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
panys steamer, Santa Rosa, from San
Diego to-day the news was received OF
another accident indirectly attributable
TO the Alaskan gold excitement. which Is
believed to have cost the lives Of forty
passengers and sailors.
Capt. Alexander of the Santa Rosa re-
ported that early this morning while nine
miles off Point Bonita, at the mouth of
the Golden Gate, he sighted derelict,
bottom up. The tug Witch was imme-
dately dispatched TO the point indicated
and found the dereliet to be the bark
Helen w. Army Capt. Hogan, which sail
ed hence for Copper river points with
twenty-seven passengers and crew OF
thirteen on Sunday last.
The bark lay upon her starboard side
with her stagn low down In the water,
her deck hamper badly wrecked and sew
eral planks of her huh washed loose by
the seas, which broke over her. While
there were no signs of boats among the
wreckage, II is not believed that her pas
sengers and crew escaped by putting off
from the vessel in them, as there has
been a very heavy sea for several days
past. Furthermore, no word has been re-
ceived from the survivors If any exist, al
though the derelict was sighted within
ten miles OF shore and fully forty-eight
hours have passed since the wreck oc-
CURED.
According to the tug boat men there
was pretty stiff breeze when the Almy
sailed out OF the Golden Gate on Sunday
last and by noon II was blowing a gale.
There was a heavy sea running and It Is
no H..
she was struck by a squall and turned
turtle.

Washington, March 22.-In view of The
possible retirement of Rear Admiral ST.
card on account of ill-health, there is con
siderable speculation as to his successor.
There is an abundance of excellent ma
terial for the selection of new command
er of the North Atlantic squadron. in
Guiding Rear Admiral Bunce, commandant
of the New York navy yard, and Com
mander J. A. Howell, recently in command
of the European squadron.
Other officers Of slightly lower rank.
who are mentioned as likely of selection
to the command of the home station are
Commodore w. s. Schley, now on dlfty
in this city, as president Of the lighthouse
board, and Capt. w. T. Sampson, com
manding the Iowa. In view of the cir
cumstances of the case, it is more than
likely that the matter will be settled i'm
mediately upon the receipt of the report
of the board of survey. which probably
will be submitted before the end of the
week.

FLOTrLLA's STOP AT CANARIEs.
Delay Due to Damage Sustained by
One of the Boats.

Madrid, March 22,-The papers here pub
lish fun reports of the movement of The
United States warships and of the defen-
sive preparations being made by the gov
ernment of the United States.
1t is said that the Spanish warship Sc
lected 10 convoy the torpedo fiotilla has
sailed from Carthagena for the Canary ISL
ands.
1t appears that the delay in the voyage
of the torpedo boats is due to the fact
that the Ariete. one OF the Spanish tor
pedo boats, sustained some slight damage

naries

GOMEZ REJECTS AUTONOMY.
The Campaign ThercupOn Resumed
by Gen. PandO.

The Campaign ThereuDOn Resumed
by Gen. PandO.
Havana, via Key West, March 22.-It Is
known positively that the negotiations be-
tween Gen. Pando's delegates Ramdrez
and Charvez, and Gen. Calixto Garcia and
other prominent insurgents, in which the
radical autonomsts made what are said
to be their final offers for practical inde-
pendence, have proved an absolute fail
ure. No particulars are yet received at
the palace as to the place or particulars
of the meeting, but that the negotiations
have failed is shown by the resumption of
hostilities.
Gen. Pando's command is moving cast
ward, carrying outqplars IN the provinces
of Puerto Principe and Santiago de Cuba
made prior to the generals arrival at the
city of Santiago de Cuba. The fact that
Gen. Maxine Gomez remains inside the
Jucaro-daron trocha and in Gen. Pando's s
rear, makes the latter the subject of criii-
cism upon the part of military men in la
vana. However, in view of the fact that
the details of the movements of the Span
iards and insurgents are meager, all tudg-
ment passed Is liable to revision on the
receipt of fuller information.
The insurgents recently captured and de-
stroyed Fort Olese, In the district of San
Juan Martinez province of Plnar del Rio.
Five of the Spanish garrison were killed
and five wounded.

FRAUDULENT TINE CHECKS.
Banks at ST. Paul Claim to Have been
FIeeced.

Washington, March 2.--Information has
reached the government, through a num-
Der of banks at ST. Paul, MINI. that dur
ing the past year and more these and
other nearby banks have been made the
victims OF colossal frauds through the sus-
pected collusion of government clerks con-
nected with the commission having In
charge the improvements on the MISSISSIPPI
river Full details of the affair have not
yet reached the department.
Statements submitted by the banks indi-
cate that 1860 or more has been procured
from them through fraudulent time checks
for services never performed
Copies OF some OF these time checks are
said TO be signed by J. II. Southall, chief
clerk of the United States engineers office
at st. Paul. and are dated at different
times during the year 1897. Others. It Is un-
derstood, are dated in 1896.
How che banks came to he imposed upon
to the extent indicated. and why the checks
have Leen withheld until this time, cannot
be even con5ectured.
It is understoo that the banks will make
a claim for reimbursement, but the law Is
said hero TO be clearly against this conten-
ton. The gov ernment will begin a search
Ing investigation at once into the whole
matter.
st. Paul, Mimi, March 22.-Just how
great the loss through the government
time check fraud may prove to be cannot
be known until an examination of the
books Of the engineering department has
shown which checks are good and which
false
j. II. SouthalI had been employed by
The government for more than fifteen years
up 20 six months ago. AT that time he
resigned the position OF chief clerk In
the engineering depa artment in this city.
The time checks were often bought up
i'm large numbers by spectators, were
cashed bysbanks and were held until the
government was prepared to meet the
hills,s when Southall would receive a re-
mittance direct from Washington and
would then deposit the money In his own
name and take up the checks with his in
dividual checks
BY doing this for n period of fifteen
years his signature became perfectly wen
known 10 all the banks iR this vicinity.
and his credit with the government back
Of the paper that he issued was consid-
cred as good as a government bond.
OF the 100000 or 100000 worth Of time
checks known to be outstanding, probably
less than fourth was held by banks
and some Of this was held by them for
spdividuals.
The checks are understood to be held all
over the country, and II will be some time
before the full amount can be learned
j. II. Southall Is tonight at his home In
st. Anthony Park, under charge of a
detective, although 1t Is stated that he has

Old Laws.

Mr.. Burdett- Coutts, NJ. p, in an ad-
dress delivered before the English Uni
versal Cookery and Food association,
called attention to the sumptuary laws
Of the fifteenth century. Then it was
enacted that, food being necessary to
the %sustenance of man, the seller had no
right to ask his own price, but it was
the duty of the state to fix it. In the
same century equal supervision was ex-
ercised over cooks. They were ordered
to make their meat ''well seasoned and
wholesome and sell it for a reasonable
winning, and that they reboil or rebake
no meat in hurt Of the kings people"
The mayor of a town in those days, up
on entering office, was obliged to swear
that he would exercise vigilant super
vision over bakers, brewers, tavern
keepers. cooks and such people. This
was no pe~rfunctory oversight, but the
official exercised his authority with
great severity in cases where cooks aud
dealers in food and drink failed of their
duty.

Ca. fornia Uattleinen Call a Meeting in
Navada by Proxy.
The Elko Indele ldent says. :" While
everything seems quiet in Navala re-
garding the importation of cattle from
the infected districts OF California, the
tight is still on. Washington dispatches
state that Mr.. Al. Harrell, a prominent
Navada cattlemen, has interviewed the
secretary OF Agriculture and failing to
move him from the position taken last
week, has left v as nst)n with the int I.
ton oil calling u meeting oil the cattlemen
Nevada for the purposeo o asking Gov
ernor Sadler to recede from his position
far enough to allow inspected cattle
from tile infected districts TO enter the
State.
Mr.. Harrell has large cattle interests
in this State and ordinarily would have
the right to speak for the cattlemen OF
Nevada. But when it is remembered
that he has large herds OF cattle in the
quarantined sc -tions OF California, his
advise. to our cattlemen and to Governor
Sadler should have but Ii t e weight. 1t
is aquestion OF self interest with him and
other large cattle owners OF California.
while with cattlenien and people OF
Navada it is of self preservation.
There Is no dog in the manager policy a.
bout it. Under normal conditions no
protest would be made TO stocking the
ranges OF Navada with California cattle,
but when cattle Injected with contag-
ious diseases are likely to lie brought
here and turned upon our ranges tie
people have the right to demand that
the law oil the State be enforced and
their interest protected. They should
insist upon the enforcement vi the law
with one voice. There should he no
division of sentiment among them"
The meeting has been called ali right,
but not 10y Mr.. Harrell, but by Nevada's
Governor. It's almost "a sure thing
that Governor Sadler is the only strip
OF red in the rag carpet and consent"
will be given unless the cattlemen are
on the alert. The pressure is great and
if Miller Il Lux, Harrell and Grayson,
Owens 4 Co, succeed in making any
kind OF "a showing, Nevada's doors will
he opened and in due tune she will be
placed under quarantine and then the
San Francisco butchers will have us
where they want us. Now that Gov
ernor Sadler has called a meeting to
rear what the cattlemen have to say.
The meeting should be very largely at
tended and they should speak in no un-
certain tones.

Rivalry for tho Honor Finally Settled In

Under the subdivision made by the United

class those having between $4,000 and 1o0.-
