Famine Predicted at Dawson-Deaths
at the Hospital.

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. IL
The steamer City of Topeka, which
arrived today from Skaguay, Alaska,
reports that the recent fire at Skaguay
was not so serious as reported. Only
a few deserted cabins in the outskirts
of the town were burned. A few hun
dred dollars will cover the loss.
Among the passengers on the City of
Topeka was Mrs. A. D. Field of ST.
Paul, Mimi. who left Dawson City on
July %. She says boats arriving at
Dawson from st. Michaels are bring
ing but small amount of provisions,
and are combining their business to the
passenger traffic. AS a result provi-
sions will probably be scarce again
this winter.

MONKS OF THE PHILIPPINES
VATICAN DEEPLY CONCERNED
OVER THEIR WELFARE.
Will Appeal to the European Pow
ers and Negotiate Direct With
the American Government.

New York, Aug. ia dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: Power
full influences are being brought to bear
again on the government in the in
terests of monastic orders in the Phil
ippines, whose fate excites much APP
prehension in church circles and at the
vatican. The papal nuncio visited
Premier Sagasta today in the name of
the pope to plead the cause of the
monks and Jesuits. who have suffered
sorely in person and property in the
past and present instructions. The
nuncio displayed the utmost anxiety
to know if the government could give
assurance that the standing and the
property of the religious orders will be
respected after peace is restored and
order is re-established.
Premier Sagasta promised that the
authorities shall give protection to the
orders wherever Spanish rule still pre-
walls in the Pacific archipelago, but he
could do nothing on the island of Lu-
zon. which is now in the possession
of the insurgents and the Americans.
Beyond this the premier would only
give evasive answers. He told the
nuncio that if the American govern
ment assents to the terms of the Span
ish note forwarded Sunday night, a
mixed commission will meet soon to
settle all Philippine questions. and,
therefore, the Madrid government must
await the result of the labors of that
commission before it can reply fully
to the query by the vatican.
The Madrid press believes that it will
go hard with the monks, as it is an
open secret that both the natives and
the Americans contemplate putting an
end to their sway in the Spanish Pa
cific possessions
The cause of the religious orders is
warmly espoused, not only by the
Carlists and the Ultramontanes, but
the Conservatives. Their newspapers
say the vatican will appeal to the Eu-
ropean powers and negotiate direct on
the matter with the American govern
ment, through American Catholic pre-
lates and politicians
Today's newspapers report that some
uneasiness. even alarm, prevails about
the manner in which President Nc
Kinley will view the latest Spanish
note.

COFFINS WERE MIXED.
Deceased Lady's Friends Found They
Had a Dead Soldier.

Cincinnati, O., Aug. ia shocking
scene occurred here today, when the
remains of Mrs. Elizabeth Winkelman
We're about to be lowered into the
grave. She died in New York and her
remains were taken from the train to
Spring Grove cemetery yesterday. On
the same train lNerel the remains of
Captain w. D. Sherman, a Kansas vol
unteer, wounded at Santiago. 1t was
not intended to open the Winkelman
casket here, but sister of the deceased
made the request at the grave. When
the undertaken discovered that he had
the remains of a captain in uniform,
and not that of the aged lady. he did
all he could TO appease the doubly dis
treSsed relatives. The bagga geman put
off the wrong casket. The railway Of
ficials telegraphed for the return of
the Winkelman casket, and that of
Captain Sherman was sent on the next
train.
The remains of Captain Sherman
were accompanied by Miss Wyer
When Captain Sherman was wounded
and brought to the hospital at Wash
ington, his case was not considered
serious. Miss Wyer came to Wash
inSton for their marriage on the date
previously fixed. While she was en-
route east the captain became worse
and died a few hours before she
reached him at Washington. She does
not yet know of the baggageman's
blunder, but when the train arrives at
St. Louis she will be notified that the
caSket has been delayed.

GUARDING AGAINST AN ATTACK
FROM GIBRALTAR.
Strong Batteries Established at San

Would Surrender.

New York, Aug. ia dispatch to
the Tribune from Gibraltar says: Re
ports circulated by the Spanish au-
thorities at Tariffa, to the effect that
the troops had been sent back from
Carbonero and adjacent places to AL
geciras. whence they were being
drafted to their homes, are without
foundation On the contrary. meas
ures for defense actively continue and
the 1900 men who garrison the line of
forts from San Rogue to Carbonero
and Guadalmina have just been re-
inforced by an entire regiment of
mountain artillery, with 40 guns, who
are encamped on the heights of San
Rogue. The ornaments of these bat
teries. recently completed at Punte
Carnero, at San Garcia Tower and on
the Isle of Verte. consist for each bat-l
terry of four quick-fire OTdonez guns
of - centimeters calibre. and two "a
centimeter calibre OrdOnez guns.
Twenty-Five or 80 guns of smaller cal
ibre, but also of the Ordonez pattern,
are in barges near the water batteries,
apparently waiting to be placed in po-
sition.
To a military observer it is perfect
ly evident that the Notifications re-
Gently completed by the Spanish en-
gineer officers and now receiving their
ornaments, are especially directed
against any offensive movement from
Gibraltar. The Spanish government is
thus not only taking serious precau-
lions against any possible AnglO-Amer-
lean combination near Gibraltar, but is
profiting by the last days of the Amer
lean war to furnish the formidable
line of works confronting Gibraltar,
which, if done in ordinary times of
peace, might be interpreted as a men
ace to England and cause demands for
explanation.

Troops Will Start at Once and Pro-

Entire Klondilze Output Fsti-

|. San Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE Call
says: Serious trouble in interior
Alaska is apprehended by the United
States government. Food riots are
feared at Fort Yukon and other up
river points, growing out of the failure
of the transportation companies to get
supplies in there on the prevailing low
water.
Acting on Instructions received from
Washington, Major General Merriam
will quickly despatch a battery of ar
tillery to st. Michaels, the officer in
charge having orders to proceed at
once up the Yukon river to Fort Yu-
kon and open military post for the
coming winter. The expedition will
also carry large quantity of extra
provisions and supplies to relieve dis
tress. When ST. Michaels is reached,
the commanding officer will promptly
levy on any river boats he may find,
Selling them, if necessary, and will
transport his troops and supplies to
their destination with all possible des-
patch. A form of military government
will be established and good order
maintained in Alaska, even if it re-
quires the services of the soldiers and
artillery.
San Francisco. Aug. u.-General
Merriam has not decided what battery
shall be despatched to Alaska. The
only light battery in this neighborhood
is the Alger battery at the Preside.
The California heavy artillery is also
eligible for the service, but would be
compelled to act as infantry. Haste is
necessary in despatching the battery,
because the season is growing late. If
the officer in command cannot come to
terms with owners of boats on the Yu-
kon, he shall have power to seize
means OF transportation for the bat

that these points should have been Sc
lected for the sanitary camps to re-

The fort of COrunna remains abSo-
lutely defenSeless. and at VigO there
are only two gunboats, the Halcon and
the Habana. All the commercial towns
on the Cantabrian coast are CONF
pletely at the mercy of any hostile
cruiser, for not even torpedoes or sub
marine mines have been laid.
The population Of these northwest

of War Department.
Chickamauga, Aug. 11.-Preparations
to comply with the order issued from
Washington for two divisions to leave
Camp Thomas will be commenced at
once. General Breckenridge, COM
mander at Camp Thomas, is opposed
TO the present plan of dividing the
army, but it seems that the decision
OF the war department is positive and
Interchangeable. The plan OF Breckin
ridge and his officers was to reduce
the size of the army by sending the
brigades to various places in the noun
tains around Chattanooga and it is ex-
pected that one place has already been
selected.
The second division, ordered to Knox
vile, is expected to march the distance
of 112 miles. The country to be trav-
ersed is especially adapted for march
ing and the trip will doubtless prove
very beneficial to the men. 1t has not
yet been decided how the division will
be sent to Lexington. 1t is possible
that this division viii also march. The
invitation sent to President Mckinley
and Secretary Alger to come to Chick
amauga and investigate the conditions
prevailing is being thoroughly pressed.

EXTENSION FOR COLOMBIA.
Given Eight Months to Pay the Ger
ruti Award.

Washington, Aug. 11.-By exercising
the good offices of the United States
tactfully, Secretary Day probably has
succeeded in averting a severe crisis
in the relations between Italy and Co.
lombia, growing out of the Cerruti af-
fair. A cablegram was received at the
department today from Rome, saying
that out of regard for the United States
the Italian government had telegraphed
Admiral Candinani at Cartagena, Co.
lombia, to give the Colombian govern
ment eight months time in which to
settle with Cerrutfs creditors under the
terms of President Cleveland's award.
While Colombia has not yet been
heard from in acceptance of this prop
osition, it is not doubted here that it
will be accepted.
Rome Aug. ia semi-official de-
NAL has been issued of the version of
the Colombian affair, which says that
Italy notified the United States that if
Colombia had not paid a million pesetas
by Aug Is, Admiral Candinani would
lombard Cartagena. The Italian gov
ernment's statement is that its action
is limited to a formal insiStence upon
the execution of the whole of Presi-
dent Clevelands award in the Cerruti
case.

FATHER MARQUETTE AGAIN.
Why His Picture Adorns the Omaha
Exposition Stamps.


Washington, Aug. 1.-THE question
as TO the right of Farther Marquette to
figure as a leading actor in the history
Of this country has arisen again, in
connection with the fact that a picture
of Marquette sailing down the Missis-
slppi is borne on the one cent Omaha
exposition stamps.
A correspondent of the poStoffice de-
partment recently wrote that he made
search to ascertain what claims Mar
quette had to the distinction thus
given him, with the result that history
showed him to have been a foreigner
and a Jesuit, but not marked as a man
of note, either in literature or science.
Information was asked as to what his
great merit was.
Mr.. John P Merritt, third assistant
postmaster general, has written let
ter showing why the design was adopt
ed. He says the object of the pro-
motors and managers of the trans Mis-
sissippi exposition is to give expression
to a commendable pride on the part
of the inhabitants in the progress of
their section and to demonstrate its
growth. and anything pertaining to the
men who were most conspicuous and
helpful in blazing the way to these Sec
tons and laying the foundations of
civilization is fraught with great inter-
est. II may De GAINED, ne says, tnaI
Marquette did not discover the Missis-
sippi, but, like Americas Vespuci, he
continued the explorations and America
is named after the latter.
las to the religious belief of Mar
quette." says Mr.. Merritt sit never
entered into or Influenced the selection
of the device, one way or the other. AS
TO the fact of his being a foreigner, he
performed services enough as a
pioneer to earn his citizenship and his
bones still lie buried on the west shore
OF Lake Michigan. Columbus was also
a foreigner, for that natter
