Woman-lovely woman ii tie
abstract, as she is and as she ought
to be, was the subject treated by
one of our local devines last Sum
day evening. The fact that woman
is usually considered symbol Of
weakness was ascribed to the Gus
toms of heathendom, and the posi-
ton of the "new woman" was con-
sidered the proper sphere in lille
for which the female sex divine
was originally intended. The
preachers Interpretation OF the
phrase "new woman" is not the
generally accepted one, however.
The .'new woman" to him is be-
ing but little lower than the angels,
and one that can get down to the
practical, every day affairs of this
mundane sphere and bake biscuits
light as a feather and make pie
crust that will melt in your mouth.
But the "new woman" in reality
is not a being Of this character.
Her time is too much taken up with
twice-a-month clubs, ''literatoor"
and schemes for the reformation Of
baser mankind, to pay any atten-
tion to household duties and the
raising of "brats." To her mind
the credit Of being an artist in the
bread making line is coarse and
vulgar, and she had much rather
60 to club and discuss the pros
and cons of some application for
membership. ..Who is she7"
"What is she7" "Has she 4
past7" "Does she belong to our
set1" These are the vital ques-
tions in most woman's clubs, and
are discussed with more animation
and at greater length than 4.litera-,
toor" or social reforms. AS the
preacher said: "Woman's greatest
enemy is woman" What they
will gladly tolerate in a man they
will never. never condone in 4
woman.
l heard q startling story con-
cerning an eminent divine Of a city
not far away, whose streets are not
paved with the material in general
use in the Klondike. He was
about to take his usual ..vacation"

French Gunboat Held Up In Guanta-
aamo Bay After Hours.
Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay,
July l6.-A French gunboat Of about
2.00O tons displacement attempted to
come into the harbor about dusk to-
night without permission, and met
with surprise party. The cruiser
Marblehead fred blank shot as the
gunboat came into the entrance to the
harbor, but no attention was paid to
this. and shot from 6-pounder was
sent across her bows. This. too, was
disregarded, the gunboat coming along
under full steam.
For few minutes 1t looked as II a
row was possible. The trumpets on
the MaIblehead rang out call to
quarters. and another shot was sent
across the FIenchman's bow, this
time In uncomfortable proximity. That
warning was sufficient, however, and
the Frenchman stopped with extreme
suddenness.
It Is against naval custom for war
vessel of one nation TO enter a port
which the vessels Of another nation
are blockading, unless permission 10
granted. The captain OF the French
gunboat was either in ignorance of the
American occupation, or chose to dis.
regard it until forcibly reminded Of the
fact by Commodore McCalla.
The gunboat was allowed to anchor
in the lower harbor for the night.

MILLIONS IN DUST.
Geld Laden steamer 81. Paul Arrives st
San Francisco.


San francisco, July i9.--After be-
Ing eagerly watched for during tile last
10 days, the steamer ST. Paul arrived
tonight from 81. Michaeis. bringing
men and treasure from the Klondike.
There were 176 passengers on the list,
and the amount OF their earnings in
golddust, nuggets and bank drafts is
estimated by the ships officers at 3d.
o00, 200.
The largest amount brought out by a
single prospector is In the possession
Of T. ]. Pickett, who has $50, 900, prin-
cipally In golddust and nuggets. Pete
Wybird admits to ownership Of $780,
600; Il. j. Nash has $50, 900 and Fred
Berry. OF Fresno, CAL, who had preyl-
ously brought out a fortune, says he
has another with him now, but de-
clines TO disclose the amount.
]. Dumas, who has been prospecting
on Eldorado creek. has &45, 900 to show
for his lahore In the frozen north. and
w. r. Burn, who suffered the misfor-
tune OF having his feet frozen and los
ing both by amputation, feels conipen-
sated by the possession OF 800. 900 in
cash the proceeds Of the sale OF bis five
mining claims. ]. Dumas spent only
one month in the Klondike. but during
that period realized $1,000 from his
claim, and just before his departure
sold the claim for $25. 900 more so that
his days at Dawson were exceedingly
profitable.
The returning miners say that II is
idle for prospectors to go to the Klon-
dixie now expecting to locate claims as
all the mining land Of any value has
already been staked out. The only
manner In which claims can be now
acquired In said to be by purchase.
The general concensus Of opinion is
that the value Of Minook creek as a
center has been overestimated. Claims
there are pronounced to be OF little
value ard the intending miner il he be
guided by the experience OF these pio-
neers will confne his operations to the
neighborhood Of the original gold dis
coveriee near. Dawson.
Dominion creek 10 pronounced the
richest OF the Klondike streams in II
precious metal. Eldorado ard Bonans
creeks are considered by these prospect
ors only second in importance to Do
minion.
II has been learned on reliable su-
thority that the Alaska Commercial
Company received tonight about eS.-
423. .0o0 Adding this to the amount
brought down by the miners which lie
now placed at over 100000 the
Klondike treasure carried by the st.
Paul is not less than s6.000.o0o or
81 600 600.

Cook inlet with the report that there
are nearly a,000 men and women along
the shores OF the inlet. and they have
not succeeded In finding gold enough TO
pay for the food consumed in one day.

"Of the s.0OO people now on Cook

to return, and God only knows what
will become of them If the government
does not open its heart and charter
some ship to bring them back"

Victoria. July l8.-The steamer Cot

on board 90 miners from Dawson, with
about $750.000 in gold dust and
drafts, mostly the latter. They came
up the Yukon river In steamer to
White Horse rapids, where they trans
feired to Lake Bennett steamer.
With the exception of few cases Of
scurvy, the health of Dawson is report
ed very good.
The tseamer City Of Seattle arrived

Measures Are Taken to
Quell Any Dis
turbance.
PROCLAIM STRICT CENSORSHIP
The Governments Apparently Is About
TO Sue for Peace-Minister Correa's
Bold Talk-ForbIdden to Publish
Any Writings without Authority.

Madrid, July ia decree has been
published suspending throughout Spain
the rights OF individuals as guaranteed
by the constitution. The government
wishes TO have full power to suppress
evidences Of discord or rebellion which
might appear.
The decree OF the captain-eeneral of
Madrid says DEGREES suspendinR the
constitutional guarantee throughout the
kingdom have beer published, and q
state OF war exists 1t Is ordered that
no meetings take place without previ-
ous authority of the military authori-
ties. II is also forbidden to publish,
without previous authorization, any
writings, engravings or designs what
ever. The decree concludes by specify
ing the punishment for those who dis
regard the orders issued.
The publication Of the decree is ao-
cepted as proof that peace negotiations
are actually in progress. Premier
Sagasta is quoted as saying:
Spain wants peace, but 1t must be
an honorable peace, as Spain deserves.
The army Is anxious to resist to the
last, but the government cannot con-
sent to such a useless sacrifice. Had
We our feet, the situation would have
been very different.
The pacific tendency is increasing,
the general public taking a favorable
view OF the suggestion that the powers
should attempt the re-establishment Of
peace, but 1t is said, contrary to reports
current, France has not taken the
initiative.
The minister Of war, General Cor
rea, is quoted as saying in an inter-
view, he thought peace might be ar
ranged on the following terms:
THE United States and Spain to
agree TO let the Cubans decide by pleb-
iscite whether they desire independ-
ence OF autonomy under the suzerainty
of Spain. The governments to agree 10
abide by the result Of the plebiscite.
and in the event Of the Cubans voting
for independence. the United States to
allow Spain nine months In which to
withdraw her army gradually and dig
ni6edly from Cuba, as soldiers should.
after having fought like heroes"
Continuing the minister for war
said:
I'VE oughs to retain Porto Rico at
ell costs In order to be always near
Cuba, which the Americans will be
able to despoil in course of time, and
In order to more easily communicate
with the South American republics,
which daily display the greatest enthu-
siasm for Spain.
''As TO the Philippine islands, ii Is
certain We will retain them, even
though the Americans succeed in oc-
cupying Manila, Of which place their
occupation will be most brief An
official dispatch announces that the
rebel chiefs and Americans will not al
ways agree, which is to Spain's advant-
age. The government has formed a
scheme. which will not only assure
Spain the possession of the Philippine
islands, but which will restore their
tranquility"
On leaving the cabinet council this
evening. the ministers protessed still
to be without confirmation of the re-
ported capitulation Of Santiago.
