FROM DAWSON CITY
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
A Friend Writes to DR.. E. F. COnyngham.
No New Strikes Made This Summer.
Actions of Canadian Officials.

A letter received by DR.. E. F. Conyng-
ham few days ago from an old-time
friend, o. F. Bike, who departed last
summer to seek his fortune in Alaska,
is additional confirmation Of the general
reports that Dawson City is good
place to steer clear of, and that every
thing is not gold that glitters-not even
at Bonanza creek. Mr.. Bike was sum
moned to the Klondike by a former
partner who had struck it rich and
wanted his old partner to come and
share i'll his fortune, Mr.. Bike accord
ingly packed up and started north, ar
riv-ng at Dawson some time in August.
He found his partner sick, hardly able
to walk, and learned that during his
several months illness the Canadian Of
ficials had become the owners # his
property and that he was left poor
man. Mr.. Bike says: The Canadian
officials here are a lot of robbers and
many a poor man has lost a fortune
through them and there is 10 recourse
There may be an Improvement soon,
however, as J. hear that eleven new Of
ticials have just arrived and I hope to
hear OF lot of he old ones being fired ,
The Dawson tOwnsite would be a beau
tifrll location il it were dry, but it is
right in q swamp ana very unhealthy
Two hospitals are crowded and many
are sick around III tents. The prevail
ing trouble is typhoid fever
Mr.. Bike expects to remain until next
July and attempt to make enough
money i'll the moUntains to pay his way
back home (the jackson Hole country
and thereafter, he thinks, he will be
cOntented to stay.
No new discoveries have been made
i'll the KlonGike region this summer
excepting a few bar claims that will
pay to work. The best part Of Eldorado
and Bonanza creeks a-e worked out and
unless other diggirgs are found the gold
output will not be very large next
season.
Mr. Bike promises to bring the doc
tor little nugget for "a scarf pin. He
has as yet not dug it up, but expects to
before next July.

Helena, Mont, Nov, ,, 1898. }
To settlers upon unsurveyed public
lands:
Gentlemen 1T is my intention, if
possible, to recommend to the Hon
Commissioner Of the General LAID
Office for survey next year the follow
ing township: Township eight north,
range thirteen west
l am permitted to do so because
three or more settlers have petitioned
for the survey thereof and have made
the necessary affidavits in connection
Herewith.
| can also recommend for survey at
that time other townships in tire vicin-
ity of that above named if the settlers
therein promptly petition for surveys.
At this writing the townships for the
survey of which there are only one or
two petitions On file are as follows:
Township eight north range fourteen
west.
None Of which will be recommended
for survey until the number of peti-
tions for the survey of each township
be brought up to three or more This
is also true OF township for the sur
vey of which there are no petitions, be-
cause the Commissioner states that the
survey Of township will Only be au-
thorized when not less than three set
tiers therein make application for the
survey thereof and submit individual
affidavit as to settlement on, cultiva-
tlon OF and improvements on the land
therein claimed by them. 1t therefore
remains entirely vita settlers as to
whether recommendation is made to
the Hon. Commissioner that a town
ship be surveyed.
1t three or more settlers have filed
their applications, with supporting aft
davit, for the survey of a township,
authority to survey the same can be re-
quested. If less than that number of
settlers have petltioned no steps looking
to the survey OF the township will be
taken until the required NUMBER of pc
titions are filed.
In cases where the greater portion of
township has been surveyed and the
settlers upon the unsurveyed pO1 ton
thereof (being less that three in num-
ber) desire the survey of their land
they should communicate with this
Office and suggestions IS to the proper
procedure on the part Of such settlers
for each case will be made.
My recommendation for SURVEYS for
the year 1899 will be made on or before
January lst next; therefore, petitions
for surveys should be filed as soon as
possible for those townships desired to
b. surveyed and not petitioned for by
three or more bona fide settlers, If the

tigate the Charges. The following is

suit above stated: "At a meeting on

testimony favorable to petitioner, and
numerous depOsitiOns We're received in
his behalf, all of which are herewith
transmitted to the supreme court.
None of the protestants appeared before
us, and no evidence was received il

ALL EYES ON THE ARMY.
The real field of action is now trans
ferred from the capital Of the nation
to the army proper, and upon it's move

for carrying them into execution, and

CADIZ FLEET A BOGIE.
There is no terror for American off,
cials I'm the oft-repeated Spanish threat
to send that reserve fleet at Cadiz to
Cuban waters to aid in the discontinue
of the American squadrons. The Cadiz
squadron Is regarded as a sort of
"bogie"-a myth-formidable only on
paper when the picture is drawn by
Spanish fingers. There are three ves-
sells at Cadiz that are seaworthy, and
might make a ffght-the others are
tubs" like the antediluvian "Numan-
ella" that was once battleship, but
would now be sunk by a modern war
ship with one broadside or one proJec-
tile. The government is not underes1-
mating the enemy's strength in any
quarter, however, and If the SpaniaTd5
should eventually decide to send over
the Cadiz squadron that much vaunt-
ed collection of naval junk will be
promptly and properly disposed of.
NO WORD COMES FROM LEO.
The story cabled yesterday that Pope
Leo had forwarded note to President
Mckinley containing a peace proposi-

pope might be ever so desirous of
bringing about peace between the

thought at all probable that he would
open negotiations by directly address

of opinion in official circles is that the
story, like many others that emanate
from European sources, is wholly

HONG KONG, May s1.-According to
mail advices from Manila, dated May
27, there is serious sickness on board
the United States cruiser Boston. 1t
Is believed that the Spaniards poisoned
the fish.
Rear Admiral Dewey promised to re-
frain from bombarCing on condition
that the Spaniards refrained from
strengthening their defenses. On Sum
day, the 22d, they were observed vio-
lating the pledge, and Admiral Dewey
fired, as a warning. The work was
stopped. Nobody was hurt Numer-
Gus dispatches congratulating Admiral
Dewey have miscarried.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-That in
vasion of Cuba by the land forces of
the United States Is an accomplished
fact is evidenced by the occupation Of
strong strategic point within twenty
five miles of Havana by a force Of 400
American soldiers, who almost imme-
dlately formed a junction with the in
surgent forces, under Gen. Ferier. The
news of the successful landing of this
force was welcomed here, as it is taken
as an index of what is to follow. 1t
is also regarded as a splendid military
move, for 1t will enable the forces all
ready on Cuban soil to cooperate ef-
fectively with those who follow. 1t is
now given out that Gen. Miles de-
parture for Havana means the imme-
diate departure of greater DO seion of
the troops now at that point for the
reduction of the Cuban capital. and.
possibly, for operation against other
Cuban points.

PORTUGUESE UNFRIENDLY.
Going Out of Their Way ito Assist

LISBON, May 31.-The Spaniards are
sending troops from all the provinces
of Cadiz and Algeceiras. The intention
is said to be to dispatch these soldiers
to the Philippines as soon as the squad
ron is ready to convoy them. But it
appears that no squadron can be dis
patched for week or more, as all the
WarShipS are short Of ammunition, and
some of them have not even mounted
guns.
In the northern provinces of Spain
the Carlist organs are telling the peo-
pie that inasmuch as Admiral Dewey
attacked Manila with petroleum bombs
and as Americans bombarded Spanish
towns without warning the inhabitants
it is time for Spain to make use of
her right to grant letters Of marque.
Portuguese people are very much in
favor of Spain in the present war.
They have gone out Of their way to as
sist her. At the instance Of the Span
ish consul here they sent back Spanish
deserters who had entered Portuguese
territory, and now are sending their
troops to the frontier to prevent the
entrance Of any more.

point to the fact that the Spaniards

allusion in the cortes to an honorable
peace have been taken as implying
Spa1n's Willingness to accept the medi-

nero Robledo promptly snapped out:
People in state of war do not talk

they are bent that way. Seeking peace

Senor Gamazo's very blunt refusal
to take on his shoulders responsibility
for the political course of the cabinet,
combining his connection Herewith to
the administrative functions of his
portfolio-pubhc works-points in the
same direction.
Last night the correspondent of the
Associated Press had a conversation
with distinguished member of the
Silvela party. who very candidly ad-
nlitted that it would be good thing
for Spain if she were free from Cuba.
WEARY OF CUBA.
CUBA he said, has always been
drag ON Spanish resources. We get
nothing as a nation from it, but it has
on the contrary drained US of our best
blood and money. True, in the old
days, individuals made large fortunes
out there, but their greedy government
and cruelty have become nothing but
shame on the mother country. 1t will,
therefore, be good for Spain when the
last connecting link is broken. OF
course any proposal to cut the cable
will be most unpopular for the govern
ment Which has the boldness to pro-
pose, but sooner or later 1T must come
to that
1t is believed that should the powers
row intervene Spain will, under pro-
test to save herself, consent to Cuban
independence, provided the powers
guarantee that islands independence
from the United States. Should this
come about, the new Sagasta ministry,
composed as 1t is of very discordant ele-
ments, will dissolve of itself, if not as
sisted in that operation py the sham
as we'll as by the real indignation of
different sections Of the population The
way will thus be cleared for a Silvela
ministry, pledged to a policy of inter-
national reform and reconstruction.
