A CAUTION TO INVESTORS.
Many Schemes to Part Men From
Their Money Being Incu-
bated in Alaska.

Washington, March 16.-United
States Consul MeCook writes from
Dawson City: Investors should be
careful of mining properties offered
for sale, particularly in some sections
of Alaska. Of the many who came here
last spring and summer, hundreds
drifted down the Yukon and located
at Forty Mile, Eagle city and Star
City. | am informed there are many
schemers there who get up miners
meetings, elect their own recorder,
jump claims already recorded, get
their man to give them receipts as
record papers, and issue prospectuses
of water rights, all apparently in con-
formity with United States mining
regulations. They have organized
companies, their scheme being to sell
their so-called right to the public. No
one should buy anything until per-
fectly satisfied. There will be any
number of valueless claims offered by
promoters"

A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.
tnins More Silver, by Thirteen
Grains, Than the Legal Coin.

st. Louis, March 6.-Sub-Treasurer
Small has a counterfeit half dollar
which Is most clever imitation of I'm.
Gle Sans legal money. About ten days
ago a coin-counter, in looking over a
consignment from the First national
bank of Omaha, noticed the coin and
sent it to the director of the mint
The latter returned it, expressing the
opinion that it was spurious, yet he
was not absolutely certain. Close ex.
animation disclosed that it contained
206 grains of pure silver, while the lie.
gal half dollar contains only 1919
grains. The only marks indicating
that it is spurious are slight deviations
in the roll of the hair of the Goddess OF
Liberty. The feathers on the eagle s
tail are not quite as well marked as
in legal money.

der the provisions of this law there are more

TO De construed, and as that is the business Of
lawyers, they are best qualified to interpret
the measure 1t Is reasonable to assume that

go, representing an English syndicate,
who is in the city claims that he has
obtained an option of 100000 acres OF
land in the Cherokee nation, on the
northeastern part of the Indian ter
ritory, in the recently discovered pc
troleum fields.
According to Mr.. Rutan, the condi-
tion is that the leases shall be closed
within ten days. Maj. Graham, an ex-
officer of the British army, and an En-
glish capitalist, is at the head of the
syndicate. The capitalist back of it
include many of the wealthiest men in
England, who have had experience in
the European oil fields. Mr.. Rutan
says the present company, of which
he is an official, has men back of it
whose wealth would easily aggregate
$500 900.
1t is Independent of the Standard
Oil Co., and expects to compete with
that company, not only in the mar
kets of America, but of Europe. Tank
line steamers of 1000 tons burden have
been built, and are in the hands of the
company.

Will Not Be Recognized.

Washington, March 16.-The COM
mittee which was appointed by the
Cuban military assembly at Havana to
come to Washington to secure recog-
milton, it can be stated will not be
recognized in any official capacity. The
war department officials are actuated
by a conviction that they are bound
by reasons of sound policy to avoid
carefully any official recognition except
to such fully representative body as
shall be created by all the Cuban peo-
pie through the exercise of the right
of franchise. In making the payments
to the Cuban soldiers, which have
been arranged for by Secretary Alger,
the personality of the Cuban com
manders will play little part. The SOL
diers are to be dealt with individually,
and the money will be handled only by
the United States army paymasters,
receipts being taken from the indi-
yidual.

Manila, March Is, 4:45 p. m.-Gen
Lloyd Wheaton, commanding the
United States flying column, attacked
and defeated force of 1000 Filipinos
at Pasig this afternoon, inficting a
heavy loss upon them. The American
loss was slight. The Americans cap
tured $50 Filipinos Many bodies of
rebels killed in the engagement are
floating down the river.
Among the casualties on the Amer
iean side are the following:
Killed.
Private Fornoff, Of Co. L, Twentieth
regiment.
Private Newman, Co. F, Twentieth
regiment.
Private Carroll, Co. \, Twenty-sec-
ond regiment.
Private Goombs, Co. C, Twenty-scc-
aond regiment.
Private Rogers, Co. L, Twenty-sec-
ond regiment.
About $50 Filipions surrendered at
the town of Taguig to the Washington
regiment, and 175 Filipinos were cap
tured at Pasig by the Thirtieth regi-
ment.
Our troops found 106 dead Filipinos
and 100 new graves near Pasig
The prisoners were unarmed, and
therefore, it is presumed, they ex-
,euted their threat of throwing their
arms into the river.
The task which Gen. Wheaton was
set to accomplish has been performed

THE SOUTHERN QUARANTINE.
Matter That is Giving the War
Department Considerable Con.
Germ at Present.

Washington, March 16.-The deten-
ton of the transport Michigan at the
Georgia state quarantine, below Sa-
vannah, is giving the war department
some concern. The ship now has been
held for four days, and is thus pre-
vented from returning to Cuba and
bringing back more troops. 1t is
feared that the quarantine delays
which will occur in the southern states
will greatly hinder the return of
troops to this country. The weather
is yet too cold to bring the troops to
a northern climate, and they must be
landed at southern ports during April.
