Some Requirements That VIII DC
Indispensable.
| The universal article Of diet IN tna'
country, depended upon and indispens-
able. is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit, either in the
camp or upon the trail, yeast cannot Dc

the powder manufactured by the pro-
| cesses Of the Royal Baking Powder
Company, miners and prospectors nave

and dampness and raise the bread ana

These facts are very important Tor

and the Yukon country to know, TOT
should he be persuaded by some out
filter to take one of the cheap brands

much to transport it, and then when

Alaska is no place in which to expert
ment in food, or try to econom!ze with
your stomach. For use in such a
climate, and under the trying and
fatiguing conditions of life and labor
in that country, everything must be
the best and most useful. and above
all it is imperative that all food sup
| plies shall have perfect keeping quail
| ties. 1t is absurd to convey over such
difficult and expensive routes an arti-
| Gle that will deteriorate in transit, or
that will be found when required for
| use to have lost a great part OF its
| value.
There Is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice Of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called
"the father of Alaska" after an expert
ence of years upon the trail. in the
| camp, and in the use of every kind OF
| supply, says: I'VE find in Alaska that
| the importance Of proper kind OF
baking powder cannot be overesti-
mated. A miner with can Of bad

and carries further at first, but above

1t is for the same reasons that the
United States government in its reliei

| arctic traveller, have carried the RoyaI
| Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either on
board ship or in damp climates, and Is

President Mckinley Requests Congress to
Suspend Judgment on the Report of the
Court of Inquiry.
Washington, March 29.-The presi-
dent yesterday sent the following mes
sage to congress:
To the Congress OF the United States.
For some time prior to the visit of the
Maine to Havana harbor, our consular
representatives pointed out the advan-
tages to flow from the visit of national
ships to the Cuban waters, in accus-
toming the people to the presence OF
our flag as the symbol OF good will and
of our ships in the fulfilsnent OF the
mission of protection TO American in
terests, even though no immediate cause
therefor might exist.
Accordingly on the oath of January
last, after conference with the Spanish
minister in which the renewal of visits
OF our war vessels to Spanish waters
was discussed and accepted, the penin-
sular authorities at Madrid and Havana
were apprised of the purpose OF this
government to resume friendly naval
visits at Cuban ports, and in that view
the Maine would forthwith call at the
port OF Havana. This announcement
was received by the Spanish govern
meht with appreciation OF the friendly
character of the visit OF the Maine and
with notification OF intention to return
the courtesy by sending Spanish ships
to the principal ports OF the United
States. Meanwhile the Maine entered
the port OF Havana on the 25th OF jan
uary, her arrival being marked with no
special incident besides the exchange
Of customary salutes and ceremonious
visits.
THE MAINE CONTINUED
in the harbor OF Havana during the
three weeks following her arrival. No
appreciable excitement attended her
stay; on the contrary, feeling of relief
and confidence followed the resumption
of the long interrupted friendly inter
course. So noticeable was this imme-
diate effect OF her visit that the con-
sui general strongly urged that the
presence of our ships in Cuban waters
should be kept up by retaining the
| Maine at Havana, or, in the event OF
her recall, by sending another vessel
there to take her place
At 40 minutes past 9 in the evening
of the 18th OF February the Maine was
destroyed by an explosion, by which
the Onward part OF the ship was utterly
wrecked. In this catastrophe two Off
GERS and 264 OF her crew perished, those
who were not killed outright by her
explosion being penned between decks
by the tangle OF wrcckage and drowned
by the immediate sinking of tn" hull.
Prompt assistance was rendered, by the
neighborng vessels anchored in the
harbor, and being especially given. by
the boats of the Spanish cruiser Alfonso
XIII, and the Ward line steamer City
of Washington, which lay not far dis

people had taken and never ts lose sight
of the Importance of the order. He
states that very few people visited the
ship, Lieut.. Commander Wainwright
being rather severe on desultory T;s-
TORS. There were only two visits OF
Spanish military officers.
Chief Gunncr's Mate Olsen, ct ,Se
United States steamer Iowa, told how
he had been sent to Havana for the pur-
pose OF doing diving duty on the wreck
He had descended four times, making
about eight or nine hours OF total exam
nation.
Olsen told how on his first descent
he went over the forward part of the
ship. He said Il found the wreck
all blowed up. found lot OF CRATE
bars down there
The second time he went down
further forward and there located lot
of 10-inch shells. Forward OF these the
plates were bent in-board over them.
Asked if he imagined himself looking
forward, he stated that he did. Going
over the plates he struck into lot OF
6-inch shells with the slings on them.
Going to the right, witness stated he
found lot of wreckage. 1t seemed to
have been blown over the starboard.
Olsen stated that he put his hand into
the cracks and brought out several g.
FOUNDER shells.
The next time he went down, Olsen
testified that he went outside the ship,
forward of the crane on the port side.
He followed the bottom along and
found that the ships side was blown
out board, and alongside the crane it
could be walked on.
''At the part where she is blown up
completely" witness said, part of her
bottom plates are turned up. Then you
follow the bottom from there up and
the plates are blown out-board.

L'oLoNNoIs, THE CRUEL.
He Was the Most Ferocious of All tho
Famous buccaneers.

Famous Buccaneers.
Among the buccaneer leaders who
distinguished themselves as land pi-
rates was Francis L'Olonnois, French
man. In those days it was the custom
to enforce servitude upon people who
are not able to take care of themselves;
unfortunately debtors and paupers of
all classes were sold to people who
had need of their services. Boys and
girls were sold for term of years,
somewhat as if they had been appren-
tices; and it so happened that the boy
L'OlonnoiS was sold to a master who
took him to the West Indies. There he
led the life of slave until he was of
age; and then, being no longer subject
to ownership, he became one of the
freest and most Independent persons
who ever walked this earth. He began
his career on the island of Hispaniola,
where he took up the business of hunt
ing and butchering cattle, but he soon
became pirate, and enlisted as a COM
mon salIor on one of their ships. Here
he gave signs of being so brave and
unscrupulous that one of the leading
pirates on the island of Tortuga gave
him ship and crew, and set him up
in business. The career of L'Olonnois
was much like that of other buccaneers
of the day except that he was abom-
inably cruel to his Spanish prisoners.
All the barbarities attributed to the
pirates of the world were united in the
career of this wretch, who does not al
pear to be so good an example of the
true pirate as Roc, the Brazilian. He
was not so brave, he was not SO able,
and it would be impossible for anyone
to look upon him as hero. After
having attained in short time the
reputation of being the wickedest
pirate of his day, L'Olonnois was up-
fortunate enough to be wrecked upon
the coast near Campeachy. He and his
crew came safely to shore, but it was
not long before their presence was dis
covered by the people of the town and
the Spanish soldiers attacked them.
There was a fierce fight, but the Span
iards were stronger and the buccaneers
were utterly defeated. Many were
killed, wounded or taken prisoners.
| Among the wounded was L'Glonnois,
and when the Spaniards walked over
the battle field he was looked upon as
killed. When the soldiers had retired,
he stealthily arose and made his way
into the woods, where he stayed until
his wounds were well enough for him
to walk about. He divested himself OF
his great boots, his pistol-belt, and the
rest of his piratical costume, and add
ing to his scanty raiment cloak and
hat which he had stolen from poor
cottage, he boldly approached the town
and entered It. He looked like very
ordinary person and no notice was
taken of him by the authorities. Here
he found shelter and something to eat
and he soon began TO make himsel,
