FIGHT ON ALASKA RATES.

Chicago. Jan. @.--Alaska rates are prov
ing a source OF trouble to western roads
and Il Is likely that a meeting OF all the
roads will be called in the near future TO
consider them.
The chief trouble now is that the pur-
chases OF tickets to Seattle cannot be
assured Of any definite date of sailing
for Alaska on account OF the crowded
condition OF the steamers and the few
boats that are available for the traffic.
one OF the western roads. which sold
several tickets for Alaska informed the
purchasers that the boat would sail on a
certain day and that they would have no
trouble in securing the passage. When
the party reached the coast they found
that It was impossible for them to set on
the boat, as all the available space had
been taken long before their arrival. The
road was then compelled to keep them
in Seattle until the sailing of another
steamer, proceeding that proved very
expensive to the road.
The roads will try TO make definite ar
rangements with the steamship compa-
Mes for tho care Of the passengers they
bring to Seattle, and failing in this, they
will sell tickets to Pacific coast ports
without any stipulation as to the sailing
Of boats.

PRESIDENTS CUBAN POLICY.

washlngton. Jan 0.-The gentlemen In
congress who by reason Of their position
have reason to be accurately informed on
the policy OF the administration as to
Cuba, say that his policy is tn substance
as follows:
At the present moment It is felt that
the same material conditions prevail that
ext ted when the president sent his last
message TO congress- At that time It
was stated that plan of autonomy hav-
ing been inaugurated, It was the purpose
OF the executive branch to give proper
time for the plan to be tried The ad-
rninistratson is said to entertain the same
sentiments today. The autonomous plan
was inaugurated only three weeks ago.
on January 1, when an autonomous caDi-
net took Office, 50 that It is felt that there
has not been adequate time up to the
present moment to form any fair judg-
ment as TO the merits OF the plan as
means OF ameliOrating the conditions on
the island.
The recent occurrences at Havana are
looked upon as affording evidence Of dis
content with this plan. but whether this
would be sufficient to overcome the plan
itself, 1t is not looked upon as established
with any degree OF certainty. or even ar-
proximateness. In the meantime, while
closely observing the progress Of the au-
tonomous plan, the administration has
adopted every precaution to guard against
any sudden emergency, such as an upris-
ing that would threaten American In
terests.
This is not expected to occur but II It
should come, 1t is said that the naval
vessels Of the United States are 80 dis
posed as to be in the harbor Of Havana
within six hours Of any crisis which
would imperil american interests

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

New York. Jan. "a dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
Although the riotlng was practically

to pour into the city up TO Sunday. Cen

l2.OOO troops were In the city in addition
to the regular garrison. There Was much
speculation as to the cause OF such ex-
traordinary precautions in view OF the
fact that the city was apparently tran
quill. Tue usual parade Of the volunteer
palace guards on the Prado was permit
ted. but a Gordon OF regulars massed the
crowd at a distance permitting no one TO
approach the volunteers. After the vol
unteers marched 20 the palace all re-
strainhs were removed, but the cavalry
remained on duty in front OF the Hotel
Ingleterra until the next morning. Dur
ing the night one or two small disturb
ances occurred and few shots were
fired, but no one was hurt. A few bat

the insurgents were about TO take ed-

situation, Is that General Bianeo has de-
