William Latter. who has returned to
Tacoma from Alaska, brings a tragic
story Of the deaths of n. G. Daily and
two Frenchmen, names unknown, all Of
Boston, on the Bonanza river, in north
ern Alaska, last winter. The men had
been searching for gold, but ran out of
food and starved to death during a ter
rible blizzard, though their belts were
filed with gold dust. Daily and two
Frenchmen got separated from LATER and
his partner during the blizzard, and wan
dered away almost without provisions
and with only scanty clothing. When the
storm moderated La1er's party searched
for their missing companions, and finally
found their tent. The mems bones had
been picked clean by wolves, though their
belts and gold dust remained intact. One
camp stove in the tent was found. The
kettle was filed with the rawhide thongs
of snowshoes which the starving men had
tried to boil for food.

A CLIMAX REACHED.
Affairs at Santiago Are in Anything but
a Satisfactory Condition.

Santiago de Cuba. March IA climax
has been reached in the affairs of San
tiago. The estimates for February have
been reduced from $4,000 to 100000 and
amounts aggregating $4,000 expended last
month have been disallowed by the au-
thorities at Havana. Gen. Leonard Wood
military governor, says it is impossible to
estimate exactly month ahead and
thinks the best plan would be to forward
certain percentage to Havana every
month, the department commanders hav-
ing the privileges of using the balance
subject to objection later, as under the
present system it is impossible to run the
government here. For the month of
March all expenditures for the entire pro-
vince must be kept within $4,000. Even
these Cubans who are most friendly to
the United States authorities say this
amount is less than was allowed at any
time under the Spanish regime. This is of
course, an altogether erroneous assump-
ton, but the fact is that tomorrow more
than 100 men will be out of work, cir
cumstance generally recognized as dan
gerous menace to public safety at Just
this juncture and involving large addi-
tional police force. Some merchants say
it will necesstate the presence of addi-
tional regiments, even If an insurrection
does not finally result 1t is significant
that the Cuban extremists. who talk open
ly against American rule, go about ex-
planning how 5000 of their men properly
armed could now gain possession of the
province of Santiago in two days If the
plan were properly arranged beforehand.
Even the Americans here cannot com
prehend what Havana hopes to achieve
by bringing about practical cessation Of
all public works in the largest province
of Cuba. a province really needing more
in this line than any other. The air OF
anxiety obvious in all the departments
shows the apprehensons entertained of
what must follow a public announcement
of the fact that all public works must
cease.

Walla Walla. Wash, March 2.-Condem-
nation proceedings begun last December
in the superior court of this city between
the Snake River Valley railroad, a branch
of the o. r. & N, against the Northern
Pacific and Clearwater Short Line to OBJ
tain a right of way for the road from
Wallula to Lewiston, resulted to-day in a
jury bringing in a verdict awarding dam
ages to the defendants in the sum of
S,564. The aggregate of land condemned
is 3l2 acres, being strip 100 feet wide
across the % sections of land. This gives
the o. K. & N. company clear field into
Lewiston by the river route, the court
having held that the deed from the North
ern Pacific to the Clearwater line was not
made in good faith and was void as affect
ing the o. R. 4 N. but valid as between
the grantee and grantor.

Berlin, March "A high German au-
thority, who prefers to be nameess, as
sures the correspondent of the assoc
lated press that the motives which in
duced Germany to intrust the protec-
ton Of Germans in the Philippine is
lands to America are simple. The
Kaiserin Augusta and other German
warships in the far East are needed in
Chinese waters, owing to the recent
disturbances, and Germany feels that
German interests are safe under the
protection of Americans. This implies,
of course, a high compliment to the
United States but it is only in con-
sonance with several previous declara-
tons made by Baron Won Buelow, the
German minister Of foreign affairs.
Regarding Samoa, the same German
authority said Germany was awaiting
the initiative of the other powers

CONTINUES TO IMPROVE
Condition Of Pope Leo Regarded
as Satisfactory.
DANGER IS NOT YET OVER
physicians Send Out Encouraging Re-
ports. but Grave Doubts Are En-
tertained as to the Issue
Of the Illness.

Rome, March 8, a. m.--The latest
news from the vatican is that the pope S
temperature at midnight had fallen sew
eral points. 1t appears that his dis
inclination to observe the recommended
tons of his physicians forms an obsta-
Gle in the way of prompt recovery. He
has full confidence in his own strength,
advice not to move. During the after
noon he insisted upon leaving his bed
without assistance and also read several
kilograms. The rise in his temperature,
which had given some anxiety, was
probably caused in part in this way.
The doctors exclude everybody from
his apartment, except his personal at
pendants. DIR. Mazzoni remained In
readiness during the even
ing to proceed to the va
tican if needed. but up to II o'clock he
had not been called, and at that hour
he did not expect to go until daybreak.
The pope said during the day:
1T is miracle of God that / am still
alive, for He wishes to spare His church
terrible crisis at the present"
At O'Clock in the afternoon the doc
tors made a prolonged visit, lasting
more than an hour. which caused some
uneasiness, but on leaving they gave re-
assuring reports, Mazzoni saying there
was not the least fear that the pleura.
bronchial tubes or lungs would be at
fected. The pope's nephews also visit
ed him in the course of the afternoon
and left his chamber much pleased with
his progress.
Despite these optimistic reports, grave
doubts are entertained as to the issue
Of the illness. His holiness, It seems,
displays great interest in the matter,
and has asked the doctors as to the best
way of preserving the cyst. explaining
that he intended when he should have
recovered ITO dissect it for purposes of
study.

Dewey Asks That Small Craft BE Sent

Washington, March admiral
Dewey is again pressing on the navy de-
partment the urgent need of vessels of
light draught as means of communica-
'tion among the numerous small islands
of the Philippine group. To this end.
the gunboat Vixen, which figured
bravely for vessel of her light caliber
at the outset Of the Cuban campaign,
has been ordered to be Immediately
fitted out at the navy yard at Norfolk
for sailing for Manila. This Will take
about month and it is probably three
or four months before she joins Dewey S
fleet. Besides the Concord. which is
perhaps too large to be classified as
one of the small craft. the only light
vessels now in the Philippines available
for running about the waters are the
Petrol and the Helena. The Castine
and the Princeton, however, are now
speeding in that direction, but the
small craft equipment there will still be
inadequate. The department is an
xious TO afford Admiral Dewey all the
assistance possible. He has repeatedly
called attention to the great Importance
of this work and has emphasized the
fact that it is the light vessels, fit to
skirmish about in the shallow water
and to run in and out of harbors where
the larger ones would be useless, that
he wants rather than the heavier ones

ReinfOrcements for Otis.

Washington, March 1.-The secretary
OF war has just ordered reinforcement
of Otis by six regiments. There are the
9TH infantry, now at San Antonio: 9Th
artillery, scattered along the Atlantic
coast stations: 9th infantry at Madison
Barracks; 18th infantry, in New York
state; 2lst infantry, at Plattsburg, New
York. and 10Th infantry, at Fort Crook
and neighboring posts in the middle
west. These regiments have been or
dered to make ready to proceed to San
Francisco and thence to Manila
In answer to a direct question as to
whether or not these regular troops are
intended to relieve a corresponding
number of volunteer soldiers at Manila
it was said at the war department
while this probably would be the case,
it was not possible yet to make posi-
tive statement. This means that, if
when the reinforcements arrive at Ma
Mia the conditions are satisfactory, the
volunteers will be brought home; but
If Otis shall have need for all of the
combined force, then they must wait.
