WAR AND KLONDIKE
Two Subjects Uppermost in Interest
in the States.

j. S. Orme of Phoenix, Ariz., was
one of the passengers on the Nohican.
Before coming here he spent several
weeks in San Francisco. He says the
two subjects of public interest in
America to the exclusion of almost
everything else. are the Maine disaster
and the possibility of war with Spain,
and the exodus to the Klondike. The
number of people who are going to
the KlOndille in search of fortune, he
says. is almost beyond belief. The
greatest activity prevails in all lines
of business connected with Quitting.
The Arganauts come from all parts of
the world. Transportation facilities
are crowded to their utmost limits.
The war feeling is very strong ey-
ervwhere. but the Administration has
succeeded in keeping dangerous DEM
onstrations of ii in check. At the
same time the most active preparation
for war is going on. At every army
post and navy yard and naval station
there is preparation. The activity has
spread to the National Guard of the
various States. In case war does come
it will find the country prepared.

ONE MORE |S1AND STAPLE
TOBACCO MAY BE BETTER THAN
COFFEE.


Walter VI. Gitlard and W. w. Di-
mond will experiment with tobacco.
The latter gentlemen quite recently
sent on to New York two samples of
tobacco grown in the Islands. One of
the packages contains three pounds of
the finest Kona tobacco, grown from
Hawaiian seed and cured in the Ha-
waian primitive way The other sam
pie is quantity of tobacco grown
from the best Havana and Sumatra
seeds and cured in the same manner.
These samples will be carefully eN-
amined by tobacco experts in New
York. \ detailed report will be re-
turned by them to Mr.. Dimond, on the
quality of the tobacco. Should their
report be favorable Mr.. Dimond will
90 ahead at once to experiment with
the leaf on large scale.
Mr.. Dimond is enthusiastic over the
possibilities of tobacco cultivation in
Hawaii. While he admits that the to-
bacco grown in the konas on Hawaii
and elsewhere is rather coarse and
fibrous. Mr.. Dimond claims that
this is due to the improper seed and
cultivation. Again the Island tobac-
co is very strong. The primitive way
in which it is cured. Mr.. Dimond in
sists. fails to extract sufficient nico-
tine.
Il am confident that tobacco will
thrive on any of the Islands," said Mr..
Dimond this morning. "To grow lux
uriantly tobacco must be planted in
the sandy soil with considerable mois-
ture. There is an abundance of such
soil on this island which can be irri-
gated. thus ACQUIRING success in cult
Walton.
THE old curing process in vogue in
North Carolina and Virginia has been
done away with. Instead of placing
the leaf under the glass and depend
ing ON the suns rays to cure the to-
bacco. a tobacco barn has now come
into general use. The tobacco is
hung up in this bui.vLng on racks un-
til il is filled. \ hot air furnace is
then used. An even heat is kept up
night and day until the tobacco, by
its appearance and color, shows that
it has been properly cured. This slow
drying process extracts the nicotine
and other substances in the leaf. The
salt peter. which the leaf would con-
tain were it grown in some parts of
Hawaii. would have to go by this
process
Mr. Dimond will put up a small OK
perimental barn should he receive n
favorable report from New York. He
believes that small homesteaders can
grow the tobacco at a profit. A cur
ing barn could he erected and the to-
bacco of small planters cured on the
percentage basis. Tn Virginia and in
North Carolina the average yield per
acre is 1000 pounds.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
--latest Advices From the National Capital
the War Situation.
Special to EVENING HERALD.
WASHINGTON, June IL.

WASHINGTON, June IL.
The state department has no official
knowledge that Spain is making overtures
for an ending of the war. The administra-
ton hopes to bring Spain to terms by causing
Santiago to surrender, and after that occupy
ing Porto Rico, but number of prominent
men connected with the executive branch
are inclined to the belief that it will be
necessary to capture Havana before the
enemy realizes that he is beaten.
At the State Department this morning Off
cals stated unofiicially of course, that if over
lures for peace are being discussed abroad
knowledge of it has not been given the Wash
ington government. Talk of peace in in the
air but whatever negotiations are in progress
are confined to European capitals Moreover
the United States will not talk peace until
Spain yields Cuba.
Many reasons are given for the recall of the
transports carrying troops to Santiago, but
the correct account has not previously been
given. The navy department on Wednesday
received information from Commodore Remey
stationed at Key West, that several myster-
iOus vessels had been seen on the northern
coast of Cuba heading for Havana. Subse-
quently news of an intercepted despatch ad-
dressed to Gen. Blanco, saying that four
Spanish vessels were on their way to Havana,
was received. There was nothing definite in
this despatch, and the decision to delay the
transports to await additional conveys was
reached. Several of our fleet are now hunt
ing for these mysterious ships, and the eXpe-
diton will not get away before next Monday
at the earliest.
Two artillery batteries left here this morn
ing. Battery c. 9th Regiment will proceed
at once to join the Philippine expedition.
Battery NJ, 4th Regiment, will join the
garrison Notifications at Delaware City.
The sixty-seven I'd Lieutenants for the
regular army. made necessary by the Act of
Congress providing for three battalion
organizations, have been agreed upon and
their names will be sent to the Senate on
Monday. There were 200 applications.
Naval authorities here believe that the
monitor Monterey, now on its way to the
Philippines, has seized the Car oline islands,
and has left a land force there. These islands
are about 1900 miles from Manila. The com
mander of the Charleston has instructions to
stop at the Ladrone islands, a Spanish pos
session, and to raise the American flag there,
Neither of these possessions are well fortified,
and the troops now on the way to the Philip
pines can easily take possession of them.

NO PEACE PROFFERS.
Count Almadavor de Rio Has Taken No
Action, So Far as Known
at Washington

Washington, June 11.-Reports from
Madrid that Spain, through the min
lister Of foreign affairs, Count Almado-
var de Rio, had taken formal steps to-
ward securing peace have not been
made apparent by any action in Wash.
ington up to this time. There has been
no proposition for peace or for an
armistice, nor has there even been an
entering wedge of inquiry as to how
such a proposition would be accepted
The Madrid report stated that the
Spanish ambassador to Austria had
been instructed to seek the good offices
of Austria in bringing forward thu
peace proposition. But, If this be true
the Austrian premier, Mr.. Won Hengen-
muller, has not conveyed to the state
department any indications that Aus
tria Is ready to act. On the contrary
Mr. Won Hegenmuller does not ap-
pear to think that his services will be
required here in the near future, as he
leaves next Tuesday for New London,
Conn, taking his official staff, for a
summers vacation.
At the same time the prospects Of
peace continue to be discussed in dip
lomatic circles, and it is known that
at least one of the great powers Of Eu-
rope stands ready to act as peace medi-
ator in case the United States will
make a suggestion that such move
ment would not meet with disfavor.
One Of the most influential members of
the diplomatic corps, the ambassador
Of a continental power said concerning
peace possibilities:
"There win be no offer Of mediation
from outside. Such movement, IL it
comes at all, should come at the sug-
gestion of the United States that It
would be acceptable. Let your govern
ment intimate that 1t would be willing
to discuss the terms on which peace
could be restored, and 1 feel sure that
at least one government of Europe will
be ready to meet this suggestion, and
do It's utmost in a spirit friendly to
both opposing nations, toward putting
an end to the present conflict and
bringing them together on basis hon
orable to both"

ADDITIONAL INDEMNITY.
II Cervera Destroys His Ships Spain VIII
Pay Heavily,
Special to EVENING HERALD.

Special to EVENING HERALD.
Washington, June 1.-THE Navy depart
ment has sent orders to Admiral Sampson to
notify Admiral Cervera that, if the latter
destroys his four armored cruisers and two
torpedO-bOat destroyers to prevent their fall
ing into our hands, Spain at the end of the
war will be made to pay an additional in
deminity at least equivalent TO the value of
those vessels.
1t has been realized all along that the
Spanish Admiral, rather than permit his fine
squadron to be added to the United States
navy, might at the last moment, when he
saw that further resistance was useless, pre-
fer to blow them up, perhaps going so far as
to carry himself and his men along with
them. 1t was somewhat hastily assumed at
first that if Cervera cared to do this nothing
could be done to prevent it, Even now he
may prefer to send his ships to the bottom
and let this country exact such reparation as
it may see fit.
The Navy department hopes, however, to
convince him by the above argument of the
folly of doing anything so rash
