END OF INDIAN HEAD.
Famous Hudson River Landscape
Blown Up with Dynamite.

Blown Up with Dynamite.
New York, March 5.-Indian Head,
the principal promontory in the Hud-
son river palisades, was blown up Fri
day. The cliff rose 200 feet from the
waters edge. One tunnel, five feet in
diameter, entered the cliff about so feet
below the top and continued back 100
feet. All shafts and tunnels had been
filled with dynamite to the amount of
1000 pounds. The mixture used was rs
per cent. pure nitroglycerin. When
all the wires from the shafts and tun-
tells were brought together in circuit
the connecting wire was laid over the
top of the cliff. Hugh Riley, the boss
plaster, pressed the button. Instantly
there was trembling of the ground
and a roar that seemed muffled at first,
then loud, so that it was heard by per-
sons three miles away. The entire face
bent out in the middle, then doubled
up like jackknife and the whole mass
slid down, 100000 tons of rock being
dislodged. This was done to furnish
crushed stone for rOudwaVS

CAN'T FIX THE DATE.
Court of Inquiry Unable to Tell When
1t Can Report.

1t Can Report.
Washington, March Sit was devel-
oped Friday afternoon through tele-
graphic correspondence between Sec
rotary Long and Admiral Sicard that
the court of inquiry'is unable to fix even
an approximate date for the conclusion
of its investigation into the disaster to
the Maine. Sharing the general anx-
iety for some information on this point,
Secretary Long Friday, at the instance
of the cabinet, sent a telegram to Adj
miral Sicard asking him when it was
probable that the report of the court
would be made, and late Friday night
the following reply was received:
"Key West, Fla, March 4.-Secretary of
the Navy: Have talked with the presi-
dent of the court of inquiry, and agree with
him that it is not yet possible to fix date
for the finding, as so much depends upon
the progress of divers and wreckers and
the results they obtain. Every effort is be-
ing made to advance the inquiry. The
court returns to Havana by the Mangrove
this evening, having about finished the in
vestigation at Key West. SICARD."

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
KlOndilxe Gold Fields.

One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader COM
ing to Alaska, to the KIondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States, in the Dominion, or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this precau-
ton more than upon any other one
thing will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthful and.
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection of
foods that will keep unimpaired in
definitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter is
imperative. For instance. as bread
raised with baking powder must be re-
lied upon for the chief part of every
meal, imagine the heIplessness of a
miner with a can of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best flour;
it is the cheapest in the end. Expert
ence has shown the Royal Baking Pow
der to be the most reliable and the
trading companies now uniformly sup
ply this brand, as others will not keep
in this climate. BE sure that the bacon
is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be
neglected. They may, of course, be
supplemented by as many comforts OF
delicacies as the prospector may be able
to pack or desire to pay for.-Aldska

A PRETTY INCIDENT.
The Kindness of a Spanish Lady to a
Lone Soldier Boy.

The Kindness of Spanish Lady to a
Lone Soldier Boy.
A recent Traveller in Spain describes
a touching scene witnessed at the depar-
ture of regiment for Cuba. All day
long there had been heard the meas
ured tread of soldiers marching through
the street; all day long gayly bedecked
boats had been passing to and from the
vessel that was to take them to Havana.
The twilight began to deepen when the
correspondent saw a startling and
pretty sight"-the impetuous action of
portly, good-looking and well-dresseo
lady, who noticed a young soldier walk.
ing dejectedly along down the pier il
his travelling gray, with knapsack
strapped over his shoulders. All the
rest of the men had friends, their
novias, mothers. relatives, and made
the usual gallant effort to look elated
and full of hope. This lad had no one,
and it might be OWNED that he was car
rying a desolate heart over the seas.
The handsome woman burst from her
group of friends, took the boys hand,
and said: "My son has already gone to
Cuba. He is in the regiment of Andalu-
STA, and sailed two months ago. You
may meet him, Pepe g.; take this kiss
to him" She leaned and kissed his
cheek"
An English boy would have shown
awRwarness, but these graceful
southerners are never at loss for D
pretty gesture and q prettier word.
The boy blushed with pleasure, and still
holding the lady's hand, said with quite
natural gallantry, without smirk or
silly smile: And may not take one
for myself as we'll, senora?" The lady
Redeemed, laughed little nervously,
and bent and kissed him again to the
frantic applause of soldiers and civil
ians, while the boy walked on, braced
and happy.-Blackwood Magazine.

Washington, March "A party of
senator's and members of the house
left Washington at four o'clock Tues
day for trip to Cuba. The party con-
sists of Senators Gallinger, Thurston

Tuesday that the trip was undertaken
for the purpose of making personal
investigation into affairs in Cuba. 1T

than we can possibly have from this dis

London, March 5.-The Indications
are plain here that Spain is making
great preparations for war with the
United States. 1t is impossible to verify
the rumors in connection with Spain's
transactions in London, but it is said,
ON the very best authority, that her
agents have concluded negotiations
for loan of $40, 1000, 900. The Roths-
childs are said to have furnished this
amount, but the Rothschilds' agents
