A MINERS ALASKAN EXPERIENCE
David Ward Says He Found Nuggets
as Thick as Potatoes.

David Ward, who left his home in
Kansas City three years ago on a pros
pecting trip through Alaska with but
little of this worlds goods, arrived in
this city last evening and registered
at the Continental Hotel. He had with
him, as mute testimony of the rich
ness of the newly discovered gold
fields, nuggets of the rich metal as big
as guinea eggs. He is enthusiastic
over the vast extent of thefgold depos-
its in the regions of Alaska, the more
so because, he says, by far the richest
finds are on American soil at least 100
miles from the Canadian line 'If

Why, sir, nuggets are as thick there
as potatoes in prosperous farmer

To illustrate the richness of the
field Mr. Ward gave an account of his
finding some of the large nuggets he
exhibited to Ledger reporter saying:

FRIDAY.

The result of the Spanish cabinets
latest deliberations is believed to be
that it has taken a firm stand against
futher concession to the United States
An extraordinary session of the cabi.
net was held in Madrid last night, at
which a communication from Rome
was answered. The communication
is report ed TO have asked what con
cessions Spain would make. The an.
swer, it is also stated. was that the
government 'simply reaffirmed its
former decisions already known to
Pres ident Mckinley"
A special cablegram from Madrid
states that the Sagasta ministry will
probably fall unless peace counsels
prevail Senior Silvela, leader OF the
Opposition, has arrived in Madrid.
The Queen Regent was denounced
on the streets of Madrid for her effort
to secure peace. 1t is reported from
/ London that she has appealed to
| Queen Victoria to prevent war.
The administration at Washington
regards war as almost inevitable and
to be averted only through conces.
sions by Spain. In Washington the
opinion is that diplomacy has been
exhausted, and that Spain must
yield or take the consequences. The
Presidents message will be sent to
Congress on Monday practically I'M
changed, unless there are develop
ments in the meantime Both Houses
of Congress have adjourned until
Monday
The diplomatic representatives in
Washington of Great Britain, Ger
many, France, Austria Hungary, It
ally and Russia called on the Presi-
dent and presented collective note
in which they expressed the hope
that peace might be preserved be
tween the United States and Spain
through an agreement which will at
ford the neces iary guarantees for the
establishment OF order in Cuba.
President Mckinley responded brief
" and expressed the hope that the
European powers twill appreciate the
earnest and unselfsh endeavors Of
this government to fulfill duty tc
humanity by ending a situation the
4 indefinite prolongation of which has
become insufferable.

WEDNESDAY.

President McKinley's message, that
has been promised for today, will con-
tain a passage intimating Spain S
guilt for the blowing up of the Maine
and will advocate intervention in Gu
ban affairs, but will be strongly
against the recognition of the Cuban
insurgent government, as the Presi-
dent does not believe that the rebels
have government to warrant such
recognition. He still desires that
the entire Spanish question be placed
wholly in his hands, believing that he
can settle the matter peaceably. He
has, however, been obliged to recog-
nize the force of the sentiment in
Congress that demands radical action
and vengeance for the blowing up OF
the Maine, and meets this with his
reference to the Maine in his message
"a point on which he had deter
mined not to touch. His object in
making these concessions is to yield
just enough to keep Congress from
acting and to keep himself in the
lead.

WAR NEWS or THE WEEK.
Summarized for the Benefit of Busy
People.
NInNnAY

MONDAY.
President Mckinley now believes
that he will win in his effor is to pre-
serve peace. Speaker Reed said yes
terday that in six weeks those who
are now talking war will be ashamed
Of themselves. The President has, to
an extent. abandoned his policy for
recognizing the independence of Cuba
at once, believing that it is best to wait
until the insurgent government is
stronger. He believes that then the
other Powers of the world will like
wise recognize the Cuban Republic.
He hopes that in a few days the spirit
for war will have died out. The atti-
tude of Congress, however, is just the
opposite. 1t is eager for action.
There is, however, serious division
of opinion in both branches as to the
course to be pursued, and this may
have the effect OF killing definite ac-
ton. The House Committee on
Foreign Affairs has decided to report
resolution similar to that drawn up
by the Senate committee.
The Spanish flotilla at Cape de
Verde Island will be reinforced by
four of Spain's biggest cruisers, &C
cording to the decision of the council
of Ministers. This reinforced fleet
will proceed to Cuban waters. This
is Spain's most warlike move. Atall
the Spanish naval yards work is be-
ing pushed on war ships. Commo.
dore Schley's squadron will be ready
today at an hours notice. 1t is the
most formidable fleet of its kind in
the world and is capable OF terrible

TUESDAY.

President Mckinley was in a guam
Diary at midnight as to how decisively
he should frame his message to Con-
gress tomorrow to meet the demands
of unyielding Senators and Represen-
tatives. Earlier yesterday he had con-
sidered plan to ask discretionary
power, until October, to intervene
in Cuba if Spain made such a course
necessary. He was willing also that
Congress should go into the Maine in
vestigation itself and finish the Court
of Inquirys work. But he was told
that this would not meet the demands
of aggressive Republicans in both
Houses.
By an investigation conducted IN
London, Lieutenant Commander ]. c.
Colwell, of the United States navy,
has discovered that mines like the
one that blew up the Maine were pur-
chased of British manufactures and
sent to Spanish ports. including Ha-
vana. The inventor OF these death
dealing explosives has told Lieutenant
Colwell that such a one as would
have destroyed our battle ship would
have required three keys to communi
cate with its land wires; that no one
man could, therefore, have exploded
it, nor any trio who were not Spanish
officials or who were not knowingly
permitted by the latter to do so. These
peculiar mines were such that the in
ventor could identity even the small
est piece of any of them.
