Horror crowds horror 40 the de.
tails of the conditions of affairs q,
Skaguay raise to the surface. In
the lobby of the Merchants hotel
yesterday L. NJ. Wear, of Tucson,
Ariz., told story of the situation
there which is almost past belief,

telling the story was reporter, SO
that he could not have been coloring
the recital for newspaper effect. He

spinal meningitis. He had it.

he said" ut is horrible. There
are more people dying there than
they let ON. You only hear OF
those in your immediate neighbor-
hood. When the snow and ice
melts up there it will tell an awful
story. Then the graves will give
up their dead and the horrible truth
will come out. They only bury
them ice deep. The ground is too
hard to make earth graves. They
dig hole in the ice and snow and
tumble them in. That is the end.
No one knows them nobody cares.
In the east, somewhere, friends and
relatives are waiting for them to
come back. But they will never
come back"
''They box them. up in collins.
don't they?"
He laughed, with a significant
shake of the head that might have
meant anything.
Wood is expensive and hard to
get up there" he said. "They have
the decency to carry them to the
grave in coffin; a rough pine cof-
fin, and then-well, no one knows
them or cares except one or two
friends; and what can they do?
And some of them don't go to see
if the coffin is buried with the body
or not. It is the custom there.
But, when the snow and ice melts
hundreds of bodies will float out
to the ocean, and there will be peo-
pie in the east who will watch and
wonder, and wait and pray, but it
will avail them nothing. They will
never come back. They are sleep

They don't work so hard. They |

"When a man lies down in his
lamp clothes and falls into one of

liable to be fatal. He may freeze

Since the report of the Board of
Inquiry, the indications of the prep
arations of war are more marked
than ever. England has offered as
sistance to the United States even
so far as to tender feet of battle
ships. Orders have been issued at
Sandy Hook for the women and
children, wives and families of gov.
eminent employees to hold them
selves in readiness to leave Sandy
Hook at moments notice. Presi-
dent Mckinley has issued orders
for the purchase, without limit, of
shot, she'll and ammunition and for
every concern having contracts with
the Government for such material
to go to work at full capacity.

President McKinlev heliavea

President Mckinley believes that
he will find way to the settlement
of the Cuban question without war.
He is encouraged in this belief by
the generally conci.iatory attitude
of the Spanish Government and by
the expressions which come to him
from representatives of Spain. This
Frightening of the situation does
not mean any relaxation on the part
of the administration. The policy
will be to press for an early termin-
alton of the horrible conditions on
the island,

The leading newspapers on the

accident or design, seems to have
settled that. It is believed here if
Spain goes to war she will be in a
