GENERAL OTIS REPLY
TO THE RED CROSS
Will Try to Release Aguinal.
dos Spanish Prisoners.
Society TO Send General Barrett 10
the Philippines.
Now in Charge of the Porto Ricnn
Work-Cubnn Expedition En-
barks Today.

In compliance with appeals from the Ma
tionai Red Cross Society of Spain asking
the American society TO bring its influence
to bear upon the President and General
Otis for the release of several thousand
Spanish prisoners held by Aguinaldo, the
American Red Cross has been in communi-
cation with the President and General OTIS
In response to letter written TO him by
the society, General Otis states that as far
as he can learn the prisoners held by Agui
naldo are being well treated and that he
will secure their release IS soon as possible.
The substance of the letter was sent TO tho
Spanish Red Cross authorities.
1t is always customary for the societies
of the two countries which are or have
been at war TO cooperate in such in
stances. The Red Cross of California and
the Auxiliary Societies Of the Pacific coast
having charge of the Red Cross work in the
Philippines, have requested the national
society TO send a representative TO the Phil
ippines, 10 aid in the work This request is
about 10 be complied with and General Bar
rett, who, since the beginning of the Porto
Rican campaign, has been on the island In
charge of the Red Cross there has been
asked TO take the management of the work
in the Philippines. His answer to this ap-
peal has not yet been received, but il is
expected that he will not hesitate TO accept
the new responsibilities
The increased fighting in the Philippines
has decided the society 10 send an addition
al force to the front TO engage in the hos
pItal work.
II Is expected that in few weeks a
large quantity OF supplies will be sent from
San Francisco. This increase of the sery-
ice will make il necessary TO secure addi-
tional funds. There is enough money on
hand 10 start the work but not enough
to keep ii up for any length OF time.
The party which left Washington Tues
da.- morning arrived last night at Miami,
Fla, and took the steamer this morning
for Havana. As soon as its members have
had time 10 investigate they will report
on the conditions and make a requisition
for the number OF nurses and attendants
and the supplies needed for the work in The
island.

A KLoNDIKE MAMMOTH FIND.
Discovered in an Iceberg on the
Siberian Coast.


Siberian Coast.
Vancouver, 3. c., March 16.-Persons
who have just arrived from the interior
brought the story of the finding near Daw-
son OF a splendidly preserved specimen of
mammoth. 1t was found during the first
week of February by a Swede named Au-
gust Trulsen and his partner while they
were working their claim on Dominion
Creek
The huge monster had apparently been
caught in a glacial slide and there was
nothing TO detract from the general life
like appearance of the beast this, too in
spite OF the fact that it was 30 feet below
the surface. The only instance that has
heretofore been known of an animal of this
species being found intact was about fifty
years ago. That monster was in an ice
berg on the coast of Siberia, and is now
in the ST. Petersburg Museum.
The Dominion Greek mammoth, it is es-
timated weighs between twenty-five and
thirty tons, aud its length is II feet and
inches. Its right tusk was broken but
the left is in perfect state OF preservation.
measuring Ia feet 3 inches in length and
SO inches in circumference. The animal
is covered with a hairy wool about u
inches long
Probably the most remarkable feature
was that the flesh of the animal was as
fresh and sweet as if ii had been killed
only the day before. but after twenty-four
hours exposure commenced TO rapidly de-
cay. The hind quarters of the mammoth
weighed S.6i2 pounds.
