j. NEW YORK, June 2.--EI Progreso, a newspaper published in Havatla, a copy of which has been received here, in an editorial published May 28,. com tains the following summary of the sit uation from the view point of the Span ish press: :::.. i |. :. > A month has gone by since the. COW ardly Yankees proclaimed war against Spain. They then declared that they would annihilate us;: that they would come and take Havana and level our forts to the ground. We now sec that it was but a coWardly boast, for n5t one dastardly Yankee has set foot on Gu ban soil. They dare not, for our brave soldiers will repulse them and drive them back to their own shores. Have they taken Havana Not one gun has been fired upon our forts, and their ships, which pretend to maintain a blockade, fear to come within range of the noble guns of Morro Castle It would mean their destruction. .Yan- kces are towards and can do nothing bus boast of what they will 13 and then do nothing. Every good and true sol dier of Spain is anXiously awaiting the appearance of the Yankees, and we will then show them how well a Spaniard can fight and that we can do more than boast. .#.:.
 Wherever. the ships of the enemy have approached our shores they: have been driven back with disastrous loss and their attempts to destroy our folts have resulted instead in the destzuction of t6eir ships.

the pictures OF The I,londike wealth had
been largely overcolored, and many of
the reports regarding rich finds had been
sent out by parties in order to enhance
the price of their claims. He did not
believe they would ship $1,000, 900 in
gold out of that country this year, or
anything like that sum. The production
OF gold there, he said was bound to be
more or less limited, owing to the nat
ural disadvantages attending mining
operations.
"Mr. Fred Hyde, who represented
what is called the first 800 of 1886,
and who had been associated with Jo-
seph Ladue and other we'll known pio-
neers Of the Yukon, corroborated the
views expressed by Mr.. Christie, and
said that the immense rush of gold seek
ers to that country was great mistake,
and must result in disaster to thousands.
The number of people going from the
eastern provinces of Canada to the
Klondike region is not near 30 large as
the inflow from the United States. -

Msuns Loa. the Greatest of Volcanoes
Threatens Another Eruption.
On the summit of Mauna Loa the era
ter Of Mokuaweoweo shows, for the first
time In IA years, signs of activity. Hun
dreds of coffee and sugar planters around
the base OF the msuntain have become
greatly alarmed over the prospect of an
eruption that will be attended by flood
Of redhot lava, destroying everything in.
its path.
For several months the crater of Kilauea
which is at an altitude OF 1000 feet, east
of Mauna Loa, has been active, but 1t n
only within a few days tat the summis
Of the mountain ,Alioh ~, 900 feet high,
has begun to smoke. Old natives say
Mauna Loa never smokes without lavts
flowing. In the great eruption Of 1880 the
lava stream came down within two miles
of Hilo.
Drs. Guppy and Friedlander. two Ger
man scientific men, recently made studies
of Mauna Loa's crater. They say that
Kilauea's activity recently ceased alto
gether and only blush yapor is rising.
In the meantime steam is pouring from
the summit crater of Mauna Loa. Az
previous flows of lava from Mauna Losc
have burst through the sides of the noun

900 feet. Without warning the stream OF
lava breaks through the rent in the noun
tain side an flows down into the fertile
valleys, carrying death and destruction
with it.
There are no records OF any other VOL
oano that has equaled Mauna Loa in the
volume of lava discharged in the principal
eruptions. In the eruption Of 1855 tho
lava flood reached the outskirts of Hilo.
covering goo square miles, with an aver
age depth of 100 feet. The volume of the.
flow would nearly have built Vesuvius-
In 1858 the lava stream flowed west to the
sea and half filed the bay of Kiholo. The.
eruption of 1901 poured forth a river
Of lava for nine months, which ran So
miles, with a varying width of three miles
to few hundred yards. 1t paused finally
on the outskirts of Hilo when all the citi-
zens thought their town was doomed. The
volcano was also very active in 1888 and

Seattle, Wash. April 1.-THE steamer
Victorian, Captain Patterson, which ar
rived here late at night, brought Klon-
dixie advices to March II. Jack OHara
and Robert Insley left Dawson on that
date and were passengers down on the
Victorian as far as Juneau. Other Vic
torian passengers from the famous
camp were ID. E. Campbell and ]. G..
Courtney, both of Seattle.
or the cleanup of the Klondike this
spring, Campbell said: "At least fifty
tons of glittering gold will be cleaned
up from Dawson dumps between the
latter part of May and June 20. think
that not less than $50, 900, 900 will be
taken out, and very safe estimate is
$4,000, 900. have watched the various
creeks carefully. and there seems to be
no doubt about the amount. The clean
up will commence in the last part of
May and will be slow, as never more
than two feet from the surface Of the
dumps can be sluiced in one day. The
dump is frozen solid and only as much
dirt as thaws can be sluiced. Both of
the big transportation companies have
their safes full and are refusing de-
posits. 1 should say they now had
$40, 000 900 between them on deposit"

the following will prove:

Sundays ago the Rev. Mr.. Blank notio~ds
that nearly the whole village was coass.

to see that his pews were full, and he con
graduated all upon their piety and ability
to resist the temptation to slide down hill,
especially as the ice was just right.
No sooner had he mentioned the fact
that the hills were in good condition than.
those nearest the door quietly slipped ont.

MAN WHO LOST HIS PAST.
Found 1t After Twelve Years and ii nrried
Back to His Fiancee.

A two story cottage on farm three
miles from Apalachin, N. Y. has besn co.
cupied for IL years by Miss Theresa Ball.
1t was known she had history, but her
reticence was proof even against her serv-
ants. A few days ago well dressed man
drove to this village from Binghamton in
curing for Miss Ball, and now the story
has been given out. In 1885 Miss Ball,
who lived near Maine Village. Was en-
gagged TO be married to Peter Wilkinson,
thrifty cattle buyer. The week before the
day set for the wedding Mr.. Wilkinson
went to New York on business trip and
never returned. Miss Ball was nearly
overcome with grief, but she did not give
up. Instead she leased the place which She
has since bought and proceeded to paddle
her own canoe.
While passing along the east side in the
metropolis Wilkinson was assaulted with
sandbag and was unconscious when
found. 1t was several weeks before he re-
covered sufficiently to leave the hospital,
and then all memory of his past, even to
his name, was gone A letter found i'm his
coat, addressed to Peter Wilkinson from a
resident of Chicago, gave the authorities
the idea that the Windy City was his home.

WITOHORAFT IN ALASKA.
Governor Bradley Threatened the Natives
with Punishment For It's Practice.

Governor bradley threatened the Natives
With Punishment For Its Practice.
Secretary Bliss recently made public arc-
interesting letter from Governor John g.
Bradley of Alaska containing the obserys
tions made by him while on his annual
trip of inspection to the various points or
the coast aboard the United States ship
Wheeling.
The Wheeling after leaving Dyea calls68
at the native village at the north of Chi
chagof island called Hoonah. Here one
of the leading men of the village had been
accidentally killed by child 6 years Of
age. Tho pc ople never take account of 40
cidents, and the Hoonah natives held thsr
mother and her people responsible and de-
manded reparation, which was given, "a.
body of 200 men thoroughly armed going
to q native village near Killisnoo, at which .
place the cbild's mother and her peoples
belonged, and compelling them to turn
over many blankets trunks and money.
The governor admoDished the natives andc
told them their old customs would not BIZ
tolerated.
From this point the Wheeling proceeded,
to Yakutat, where, upon investigation, ia
was found that nearly everything that hatis
been reported to the navy department re-
garding the condition of affairs there was
correct. The governor has considerable tcs
say about the practice of witchery, which
seems To exist to considerable extent in
that part of the country. He tells of a
man and two women who were bound
and tied for bewitching man. On the
ninth day the bound man was released
and as he had nothing to eat and bus a.
few drinks of water, he was in fearful
physical condition. The governor spent
some time talking TO these people, and
after explaining the laws of the United
States told them that in the future he
would not deal leniently with those who.
practice witchcraft. Captain Sebree of the,
Wheeling had his men practice with tho
guns of the vessel as a useful object lesson
to the natives. Washington Post. a.

How . Klondike Gold Hunter Laid the

H. G. Petit Of Snohomish, WASH, who
returned from the Klondike few days
ago. had some very remarkable expert
ences after reaching Dawson In getting a
small capital on which to speculate In
Klondike mining claims He left Seattle
about a month after the arrival of the
steamer Portland started the rush north.
He was in a hurry to reach Dawson and
took light outfit and very little money.
His money was used up In getting his out
fit through the mud on the White pass
trail. When he finally landed In Dawson,
he was $3.50 In debt, and his small outfit
was very badly diminished.
The start which resulted In his securing
interests In 81 claims in less than six
months was made In novel way. Among
his outfit was badly rusted paddock. 1t
seemed that there was shortage of locks
In the great mining district, and Pettits
paddock attracted the attention of an old
Yukoner, who offered him $50 for it. Nat
urally Petit sold. Being natural born
speculator, he readily grasped the chance
to make money selling padlocks. He went
back up the river to place where most of
the downcoming boats stopped and began
to barter for padlocks. He was able to
purchase the locks for SO or a.. When the
$50 he had received for the first lock had
been laid out In new locks, he went back
to Dawson and sold the ones he had pur-
chased at big advance He kept this up
until he had paid off the $3.50 indebted

THE YUKON REGION.
CONSUL elTTINGER'S REPORT ON
THE DANGERS IN THAT DISTRICT.

Experienced Miners Strip the Klondike of
It's Allurements = Mr.. Christie Claims
Only Hardy Men should Undertake tho
Journey-Gold Output Is Exaggerated.
Dangers of the Yukon Region" is
the subject of report from Consul
General John l.. Bittinger at Montreal
10 the department. of state. Major Bit
finger writes:
'At the recent session in Montreal of
the Federated Mining institute of the
Dominion of Canada two experienced,
practical miners, who have spent sew
eral years in the Yukon gold regions,
were present and gave expression to
views in regard to affairs in that coun-
try that may be of interest to people
who contemplate going there.
"Mr. Christie, the principal speaker.
declared that under present conditions
there were TOO many people in the dis
trict now, an. those who were physic-
ally and intellectually untitled to cope
with the hardships of pioneer life should
not venture their chances in the wild
scramble. He gave it as his opinion,
based on his own experience and per-
sonal observation at Dawson, that many
of the glowing reports which reached
civilization in regard to the finds of
gold We're largely exaggerated. He had
passed into the country over the Skaguay
trail, and the difficulties were so great
as to be almost insurmountable to many.
There were crevices and holes in which
the pack horses got stuck, and he had
seen them go down out of sight, packs
and all, in the mud. He knew of some
thing like 3, 600 horses being lost there
and had himself contributed 80 of that
number.
He said he had known many men
who had started out altogether unpro-
vided and yet had managed to make
their way to the goldfields, while, ON
the other hand, some of those who had
set out supplied with everything that
seemed necessary for the journey had
failed to get through and had abandon
ed the undertaking. To seek gold in the
Klondike, he declared, men of hardy
physique were needed. Professional men
and clerks he regarded as unfit to en-
dure the hardships of the trip and the
life in the Klondike region.
'.In conclusion Mr.. Christie said that
