A WORD OF ADVICE.
To Those Coming to Alaska or the

One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader com
ing to Alaska, to the klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
ity for providing an adequate ana
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States, in the Dominion, or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern. up
on the manner in which the miner mas
observed or neglected this precaution
more than upon any other one thing
will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection OF
foods that will keep unimpaired indeh-
nitely under all the condition winch
they will have to encounter Is I'M
perative. For instance, as bread raised
with baking powder must be reiied up

Ayers statement and the papers fur

inquiries The accompanying papers
include the reports from the various
bureaus of the war department., and
also various letters and teleprams
bearing upon the conduct of the war.
Secretary Alger in his report replies to
the various questions propounded by
the commi ssion, but he gives es-
pecial prominence to the plan of
campaign and to the changes that
were made in the original plans He
states that Tampa was chosen as the
base of operations because of its prox-
unity to Havana, at which point il
was originally intended the lapdfno
should be made. The determination
to make a change was due to the
developments on the southern coast of
Cuba and to Admiral Cervera's course
in locating his fleet in the bav of San
uago. When it became quite certain
that he was securely entrapped. Ad-
mlrai Sampson wired the fact to the
secretary of the navy asking that
troops be sent Immediately. He said
that he had si1enced the batteries
which were accessible from the sea
and that 10000 men could capture the
town within AS hours The textofthis
message is given. as is the text

dition off. The report shows that
