BLANCO FOR PEACE.
Advises His Government Not to
Send Torpedo Fleet to Cuba.

NEW YORK, March ia dispatch
TO the World from Madrid says:
Captain General BIanco has given
proof that he is as anxious for peace
as the Madrid Ministry. He cabled from
havana advising the Government to
postpone the departure Of the Spanish
flying squadron of torpedo boats. He
advised that it should not, on any ac-
count, proceed further toward the
United States than the Canary Islands.
The order to hold the fleet there was
not, however, sent wholly at General
Blanco's request.
The United States Government made
no official representations on the sub
Ject. But Admiral Beremjo, Minister of
Marine, wanted the torpedo fiotilla held
at the Canary Islands until it could be

sells and destroyers started on short no
tice, and were not in full war trim. They
were not supplied with adequate ammu-
milton.
Holding the fleet half way across the
Atlantic until the big cruiser of Spain
could join it with fresh ammunition and
act as escort and protector was, there
fore, probably the real reason.
Marshal BIanco complains that Ma
drid iingo newspapers have hampered
him in parleying with the rebel chiefs.

SEATTLE, March 19.-W. j. Wal
lace of Saginaw, Mich, arrived here
to-day from Dawson City, which place
he left February 10Th.
Concerning matters at Dawson, Mr..
Wallace says that stampedes to the
several creeks are of frequent occur
renee. The prospecting work done
this winter is all turning out well.
There is no reason said he, why
the country west of the Yukon should
not prove to be as rich as that on the
east side. The west is practically an
unexplored country. Discoveries have
been made on Swedish Greek that
promise well. There have been several
quartz ledges located, and the indica-
tions are that the Upper Yukon will be
the field Of operations in quartz work.
There need be no anxiety about the
food situation. The companies that
are operating boats will furnish ample
supplies, beside nearly everyone who
goes in over the passes calculates on
carrying years supplies with him.
Mr.. Wallace is credited with having
brought out $4,000 in drafts with him.

MAINE DISASTER.
Will Take Precedence to Subject of
Cuban Independence.

NEW YORK, March 19-"While the
Maine disaster is inseparably linked
with the general Cuban question" says
the Washington correspondent of the
Herald" 81 am assured that the
President would deal with the former
automatically before making repre-
sentations to Spain concerning the in
dependence of Cuba. The blowing up
of the Maine is to be used as an addi-
tional and final argument as to why
speedy end should be brought to the
war in Cuba
President Mckinley is anticipating
decision which will show the main
cause of the disaster to have been an
outside explosion, and the court will
be unable to show what person or per-
sons committed the crime A Cabinet
member told me that while the Presi-
dent was preparing to make diplomatic
representations to Spain on an indem-
nifty basis. he was not unmindful of the
possibilities of a finding by the court
which would make war unavoidable.
and naval preparations were conse-
quentIy begun
This official told me that only a de-
cision showing positively direct con-
Maine disaster would prevent the
President from carrying out his deter
mination to deal with the Maine catas-
trophe in a strictly legal and diplomat
ic way. 1t may be further stated that
the President hopes and expects that
this matter can be adjusted diplomat
ically.
II am informed that it is now the
purpose of the President to make Com
gress Jointly responsible for any action
IN dealing with the general Cuban
question which may result in war. He
believes that the independence of
Cuba is written in the book of fate He
further believes that the blowing up
of the Maine makes it imperative upon
this country to do something at the
earliest date possible to end the war
in Cuba, but he is not convinced as to
the best means of doing this without
bringing on war. He has said that he
will not be responsible for an unholv
war. If the United States is to he
made responsible for precipitating a
war, he desires that Congress shall
share the responsibility with him.

AnZeiger' publishes a dispatch from
Madrid giving the substance of an in
terview with Senior Romero Robledo,
former Minister of Justice, in which he
classes Cuban autonomy and the re-
calling of General Weyler as being the
greatest of mistakes, and adds:
General Blanco is unable to subdue
the rebellion, which is worse than ever,
and the situation with America is most
critical. l do not know how far the
Americans mean to go, but in any case
Spain prefers war to humility. No
body likes to die, but sooner death
than shame. No Spanish Government
could propose the cession of Cuba for
money.
1T was crime to dissolve the Cortes
at this critical time. I hope every
thing goes well, but I much fear the
contrary. Then the poor Queen and
the dynasty, which must assume the
whole responsibility for the conflict,
may be swept away"

LOS ANGELES, March 19.-Dr.
William E. De Forrest, formerly of
New York City, but a resident of this

he is in the City Jail awaiting the ar
rival of an officer from New York.

months ago and moved in good society.
He was widower, and not long ago
married Miss Katherine Kimball, the

Madrid advices of Wednesday, says
the Government organ, lei GIobo,"
has assumed a much bolder and loft
ier tone than lately. 1t compares the
United States to IAN immense Maine
floating between the Atlantic and Pa
cific, some of whose crew having lost
their heads are seeking to force open
the magazine in order to blow it up"
President Mckinley, as the command
er, is represented as doing his best to
restore to reason his unruly crew."
"El Globo'' attributes the loss of the
Maine to bad storage of her enormous
quantity of explosives, arising either
from too hasty preparations for war.
or from want of proper discipline on
board''
lei Globo" remarks in parenthesis
that the agents were entirely inter-
nal," adding: But there may be ex-
ternal agencies that will bring about
the national downfall to which the
Union is directly heading
Quoting some paragraphs from the
'Corresp spondencia," saying that war
would affect other nations beside
Spain, "El Globo" remarks '"To this
we may add that the declarations at
tributed to the Kaiser-Emperor Will
lam of Germany-declaratio which
were sought TO be denied, are now
confirmed afresh in such an authen-
tic manner that all doubt has vanished
on the subject. We mention this dec
laration of the Kaiser's, not that we
place the hope of our safety in his, or
any foreign aid, but in order to COM
plete the picture we ought at the pres
ent time to have the views of the dis
positions of the European ChancelIors
respecting this event
Spain has shown that she can pre-
pare herself in silence and with greater
efficiency than her adversary, but
apart from the attitude of Spain there
undoubtedly exists external agents
who may exert most dismal influence
once it is set in motion. We estimate
as worse than a defeat a European
coalition against the United States"
The paper referred to then emu
merates the possible evils it foresees
the following reflections: Into this
evil plight the cupidity of a few has
placed the nation which lies peacefully
anchored between the Atlantic and
Pacific, and which to-day finds itself
in the dilemma of having to retire to
lind herself in much worse a position
than Spain which in truth is greater
in spirit than in body"
The "Heraldo" independent is in
an equally happy mood While admit
tlng that 1t is among the first to point
out Spanish defects, it confesses "it
can only smile at seeing the Yankees
deVoting themselves to the difficult
TASK to frighten us by warlike dis
play"
Continuing, the "Heraldo" compares
the attitude of the United States to
that of a boulevard swaggerer. who
Haunts his dollars to attract the at
tention of fine lady passing by"
adding that Spain, like a woman of
good breeding. confident in herself
VIII continue in her course brave and
alone, and will pay no attention to for
eign posing"
