LEADYILLE'S TERRIBLE PLIGHT
HINES AND SHELTERS MAY BE
CLOSED.
Roads BIockaded and the Coal Is
Nearly Exhausted-Will Attempt
to Raise Blockade Today.

Leadville, Colo, Feb 1.-Two feet of
fresh snow has fallen in this vicinity
yesterday and today. The people have
begun TO realize that the camp is fac
ing a desperate situation. The ordi-
nary consumption Of coal in the camp
is 500 tons a day. There were today
but few carloads left, and the railroads
were blOcSaded on both sides of the
city. The big rotary snOwploW on the
Denver q Rio GraDde was out Of SER
vice, being caught between two trains,
surrounded by snoWslideS, near Red
Cliff 1t was evident that unless the
Rio Grande or the Midland road could
be quickly opened, not only must the
snciterS and mines be closed down, but
the pumps at the downtown mines must
step work, causing irTeparable loss.
\ meeting of mine and SIne1ter man
ayers was hastily called to consider
measures Of relief. Colonel George w.
Cook appealed to the managers of the
railways, not for the purpose of en-
abGng passenger trains to move, but in
order TO bring in supplies Of coal. Re
said if the smelters closed down and
the water flooded the downtown mines
it meant a year S work would be lost to
Leadvilie.
The response was prompt. In less
than ten minutes 600 men had been
furnished. In the morning Colonel
Cook viii go out at the head of 1000
shoveleTs to clear the Rio Grande
tracks TO Malta, where train Of
loaded coal cars is stalled. It viii prob
ably take two days TO clear the track
10 Malta, q distance of five miles. When
that IS finished the services Of the
slhoveIers VIII be rendered to the Mid
land.
The little coal on hand will be dis
tributed sparingly among the proper
if fuel be not secured much suffering
and possibly loss of life will result. On
this, the sixteenth day of the snow
storm, the air was SO dense that it was
impoSSi bic to distinguish objects at a
distance OF four feer.
Denves, Colo, Feb. 9.-This was the
sixteenth day Of the great snowstoIm
in the mountains. The wind was blow
ing a gale, filing railroad cuts with
snow, and fresh slides occurred, cover
ing the tracks with great piles of snow,
rocks, etc, at various points.
Not a, wheel was turning and the out
look is more serious than at any time
since the storm began.
The Denver &, Rio Grande was open
only between Denver and Salida Two
eastbound trains are stalled at Min
turn. The passengers are being cared
for by the railway company. The Col
orado Midland remains blockaded both
east and west Of Eeadville.
No further attempt viii be made to
open the South Park line beyond Grant /
until the weather moderates. The Union
Pacific is sril open, although trains /
have been seriously delayed by snow !

FRANCO-SPANISH ALLIANCE.
What Might Have Happened Eight
Years Ago.

London, Feb. 10.-The Vienna CORES
pendent of the Standard, referring to
the reports that France is seeking a
Spanish alliance, recalls the fact that
in 1891 Austria proposed that England
and Spain should join the dreibund and
that the proposal was acquiesced in by
Germany and Italy.
But Lord Salisbury firmly declined"
says the correspondent. Had it not
been for the attitude of the premier.
then Spain might have belonged to the
alliance, and the whole course of the
recent events would have been differ
ent.'
According to the same correspondent,
the Austrian papers comment upon af-
fairs in the Philippines in a tone which
is decidedly anti-American.

there was no time in the next three

We can support the navy and army
