One OF the principal features Of the
coming Jewish fair, will be the living pic
lures. which we're such a drawing card at
the Masonic fair. They will be entirely
different and more elaborate than before
and the ladies are hard at work in prac-
Using and posing for them. They proved
so interesting to everybody, when pre-
sented at the last fair, that the entertain
ment committee wisely thought, that it
would please the public to have them re-
produced, especially as the pictures will
be entirely different from those before.

10 IL realized that the present situation
b full of difficulty and that the future
is dark. owing to the disposition evinced
by the Cubans to ignore or refuse to be
bound by the amenities OF modern war
fare
This nrst symptom Of friction has sug-
gested to the officials innumerable diff-
icul,ies that will arise in the future. OF
course II would seem TO be only polite
now to avoid an open rupture with the
Cubans providing that they can be kept
In check and not involve the United States
IN the disgrace that would follow the
sacldng Of helpless communities. but II
begins to appear that for some time TO
come, and even after the conquest OF Cuba
IS complete. the United States must nain-
tain there a military government in or
der 10 meet the responsibilities which Il
has assumed 10 the civilized world.

Castillo, who came direct from General
Garcia's camp, did not attempt to conceal
his chagrin. The Cuban soldiers now fully
realize that there Is rising sentiment
against them In the army. They hear
nothing but words OF scorn from our men,
and the officers no longer conceal their
disgust for their allies, for the Cubans
have neither fought nor worked.
General Shafter yesterday morning sent
an invitation to General Garcia to attend
the ceremony OF raising the American flag
over Santiago, but the Cuban general de-
cllned the Invitation, saying he hated the
Spaniards, and added he did not want TO

LATE NEWS IN HAVANA.
A Correspondent OF the Associated Press
on the State Of Public Affairs.

on the State Of Public Affairs
Copyrighted 1895 BY the Associated Pressl
Havana. July 1s.--Correspondence OF the
Associated Press.--A local newspaper
commenting upon the war undertaken by
the United States against Spain In the
name Of humanity. says that IL the money
already spent by the Americans in war
had been employed in helping the recon-
centrados the latter. Notwithstanding the
irregularities OF Consul General Lee and
other politicians, would be eating part
ridges and drinking champaign.
The same paper in an editorial based
upon the report that the American COM
modore Watson, would take a squadron
to the Spanish coast and lombard
the forts, say the rumor Is "mere non
sense" This Is the argument: "Tha
Iowa, one Of the vessels which IS said
will so. has not room enough in her bunk
ers for the coal necessary to carry her
from the United States to Spain. But
even supposing she can get coal enough,
what would be the American base OF op-
erauons? II the American vessels were
damaged. where would they repair?
"As for bombarding ports. the answer to
that is that Cadiz. Barcelona, Corruna,
Santander and almost all the ports Of
Spain are we'll fortified and in condition
to repel any attack by the American fleet.
Such resolution. IL 1t has been taken,
is due 10 a desire OF the United States
government to satisfy clamorous spirits
in the United States. Notwithstanding
that they are excited over the news that
the second Spanish naval division under
Admiral Camara is on the way to the
Philippines, where 1t must most likely
defeat the American squadron under Ad-
miral Dewey.
"The American government has tried
to persuade the American people that the
sending to Spain OF a squadron will COM
pei the squadron Of Camara to return for
the defense of the Spanish ports, so that
Deweys fleet will be saved and there will
be no danger that American ports in the
Pacific will be bombarded by Camara"
A cablegram just received from Madrid
says that in August the cortes will meet

MINERS WITH FORTUNES.
The Roanoake Arrives at Seattle Bring
ing Four Tons OF Gold.

ing Four Tons OF Gold.
Seattle, July l9.-The North American
Trading and Transportating Company's
steamer Roanoake arrived here this after
noon from ST. Michaels, Alaska. with siO
passengers and about four tons OF gold,
which, reduced TO dollars and cents,
amounts to between million and a half
and two million dollars. or this amount
the Canadian Bank OF Commerce had
5000 ounces and the North American
Trading and Transportation company 20
OOO ounces.
Probably 80 per cent of the returning
miners have fortunes averaging at least
$4,000 each.
Following is list OF those having the
largest individual amounts:
William Sloan, $4,000.
NJ. Barrett. $4,000.
Alexander Boudette. $SO,OOO
George n. Belden, $1,000.
II, c. Anderson, $4,000.
Frank Conrad. $4,000
James Ladd. $4,000.
Edward Monohan. $500,
d. l.. Spencer, $4,000.
A. d, Gray, $4,000.
Joseph Chronister. $4,000.
W. +. Cobb, $1,000.
Asa Mcintosh. $4,000.
], A. Miller, $4,000.
Ola oleson, $4,000.
Swan Peterson, $4,000.
], S, opdell, $4,000.
The miners were very retlcent as to
the amounts they brought. The reason
for the observance of such secrecy lies
in a desire to evade the payment Of a 10
per cent royalty exacted by the Can
adian government, In very few cases have
miners paid a royalty on tahe full amount
taken out of their claims and many of
them have smuggled out larger sums than
they will admit.
Joaquin Miller, the well-known poet,
who was among the Roanoaks Passen-
gers, briefly expresses the general tenor
of the stories told by the Roanoak's pas
sengers as follows:
"rhe Klondike mines are certainly the
richest ever found on the face of the
earrh, but the gold is ten times harder
to get than in any camp l have ever
known"
1t is stated that the shipment of gold
on the Roanoake would have been much
heavier had those in the interior not felt
some apprehension of an attack at sea
by privateers.
The North American Trading and Tran
sportation company will, 1t is stated, ship
most of their gold on later boats. Some
of the wealthiest miners will come out
later in the season.
