Mr. Bryan's Opinion OF It.

Atlanta, Ga, March 14.-Hon. W.
J. Bryan spent few hours at Atlanta
last night on his way to Macon. When
asked his opinion as regards the action
of congress in placing 500, 900, 900 at
the presidents disposal for the national
defense, Mr.. Bryan SAID:
II am glad the house acted promptly
and unanimously. In fact, it might
have been better to have made it hum
dred millions to show the world that
congress and American people, without
regard to political differences, are
ready to support the administration in
any action necessary for the protection
Of the honor and welfare of the nation. {"
"Does thisappropriation mean war;"
"Not necessarily" replied Mr.. Bryan.
Instead of leading to war, a prompt
liberality at this time may lessen the
probability of war, and in the end
prove wise economy"

A CHANGE OF POLICY.
Spain Supports the Cuban Constitu-
tiOnalists.

Madrid, March 12.-Political and
financial circles here realize that Spain
Is facing grave problem. In view of
the attitude of the United States, it is
understood the Spanish government
has changed its policy toward Cuba and
is now cOurting the cooperation of the
Cuban constitutional party, urging the
maintenance of volunteers and the
pushing of the campaign against the
insurgents, thus giving the military
policy predominance over diplomacy.
This change is due to the fact that, if
the radica autonomists insisted upon
the disarming of the volunteers or in
cited the constitutionalists to disaffec.
tion, a conflict would supervene,
"atfording the United States an oppor-
tunity for armed intervention.

YAQUINA ALONE FAVORED.


Washington, March l2.-The senate
committee OH commerce has reported
adversely on the proposed amendments
to the sundry civil appropriation bill,
providing for river and harbor i'm
provements under the continuous con-
tract system and for which estimates
have not been made. This decision
has the effect of ruling out all the
amendments of this character, except
the one offered by Senator Mcbride,
providing for the improvement of va
quina harbor in Oregon and appropri-
ating $l50,00O for this purpose, on
which favorable action was recon-
mended.
Senator Frye, chairman OF the com.
mittee, afterwards explained the ad-
verse action to the senate, and the
house amendments and various amend
ments for rivers and harbors were laid
on the table.

, THE ALASKA BOUNDARY.
Said to Have Been Settled Favorably
to the United States.

Said to Have Been Settled Favorably
to the United States.
New York, March IA dispatch
to the Press from Ottawa says: Sir
Julian Pauncefote, British ambassa-
dor, has informed the Canadian minis
try officially that he has arranged a
convention with the United States
whereby the Alaskan boundary dispute
has been settled. Under the terms of
the convention the British government
has conceded the claim of the United
States that three marine leagues should
be measured from the shore of the
mainland, and should proceed along
the shores of the inlets, which are thus
recognized as arms of the ocean. The
contention of the British and of the
Canadian governments was that the
three-league limit should begin on the
ocean side of the islands, and that the
delimiting line should be run across
the inlets, and not follow their shores.
These inlets are numerous and extend
into the mainland great distance,
and the decision, therefore, is of much
importance to the United States. The
United States has agreed to the British
locating the boundary on the limit of
Chilkoot and White passes, because by
the Russian-British agreement of 1925
the line of demarcation was fixed as
one running along the tops of the
mountains. The decision, while not
entirely unexpected by the Canadians,
is regarded with disfavor. 1t was un-
derstood that the British government
was irritated at the forwardness of the
Canadian ministry, but it was not
thought that the surrender would be
SO sweeping.

A romantic story Of their first meeting

Beale was sitting on the door step of
her mothers house, one OF the col
onial edifices of Lafayette square, when
her little pet dog, seeing the count
gazing admiringly at his mistress, en-
tered barking protest. The young
lady called the dog off. the count apollo

subsequently led to their marriage.

SPURIOUS COINS IN PRISON..
Two Convicts at Folsom Are Caught in
the Act of Comterfeiting.

Folsom, Cal, March IA coun-
terfeiting plant has been discovered
within the walls of the state prison
here. The work was done in the en-
gine-room by Convicts L. H. Coyne and
James Brown, and so far as known only
nickels were coined, presumably be-
cause no precious metals could be OBJ
tanned.
The men were discovered in the act
OF making bogus coins by guards, who
had been told of what was going on.
When the officers rushed in Coyne and
Brown leaped through a window and
threw their dies and crucible into a
canal leading to the American river.
A large number of well-executel D.
cent pieces were found. They were
made OF Babbitt metal, taken from the
engines which run through the prison
grounds to haul rock from the quarries.
1t is thought the dies were not made
by the men who coined the money, but
by some OF the expert counterteiters in
the prison.
The impression prevails among the
officers that it was the intention of the
convicts to coin great quantity of
nickels and shi them out on the freight
cars, where their friends on the out
side could receive them in exchange
for opium. Several of the bogus coins
have been found in circulation in the
town of Folsom.

pected Soon.
Key West, March 12.-The United
States dispatch boat Fern arrived this
morning from Havana. The United
States battle-ship Iowa has sailed for
Toltugas. The torpedo-boat Porter
also sailed for Tortugas with mail for
the fleet.
The Fern brought the Maine silver
ware and 60 rifles recovered from the
wreck. Mr.. Bissell, stenographer of
the court of inquiry, was on board.
Both of the stenographers have now
left the court, and it has only a tenn
porary clerk. This leads many to think
that its work is practically done
and that it will return to Key West
shortly. The Fern coaled, and provi-
,sions for the starving Cubans were
then put on board. She is scheduled
to start for Matanzas tomorrow.
The Marblehead will go from the
Tortugas to Tampa, where it is report
ed she will take on additional ammu-
milton.
The British cruiser Cordelia sailed
today.

Seattle, March 14.-Coal IN paying
quantities has been found on the Yu-
kon river about 900 miles above st.
Michaels, and a company is about to be
formed of Oregon and California capi-
talists to operate the mine. This dis
covery will be of vast importance to
the river interests, as coal depots will
be established at various points along
the river SO that steamers can depend
on getting supply of fuel at intervals
of 800 or 400 miles. The promoters 4
the scheme say they can mine and
transport coal to st. Michaels and in
termediate points to sell at So ton,
which they say will reduce present
fuel bills over 800 per cent. The mine
is close to the river bank, so that coal
can be dumped direct into barges on
the river,

A bitter Spanish Defent.

New York, March 12.-The Cuban
junta has received by messenger the
official report of General Recios, who
commanded the Cuban forces at the
battle of Najasa on February 21-24.
The details of the battle show that
while the Cubans were outnumbered
four to one, for four days they held
their position and caused the Spanish
troops to retreat, leaving 293 dead men
on the field. The messenger who
brought the news also brought copy
OF Spanish paper admitting the re-
treat OF the Spanish soldiers, but as
serting that the four days. fighting re-
suited in victory for Spain.
