ernment General Alger expressed no
opinion as to the character of the verdict
Of the board of inquiry into General
Miles charges, but he said he believed it
would be conclusive.
The war department is being investi-
gated said Secretary Alger. 1--WE want
to give the investigators a free hand. If
there is anything wrong the department
want sto know it. If anything was sold
to the government that should not have
been sold it should be found out. If the
beef packers are guilty, they ought to be
brought to book

continued the secretary in answer to
questions; but if there had been any
thing important l should have heard of
it. General Otis is entirely free to do
what he likes. No instructions have been
sent to him, as he is fully competent to
deal with the situation. He did not ex-
pect the attack by the natives. He had
reported unrest and uneasinesS among
them, but when the outbreak finally came
it was a surprise to him. / can't tell
how long the trouble there will last, but
think the present force of troops will
be sufficient. General Otis has not asked
for any more men. | can't tell about the
general disposition of the natives. Gen
eral Otis says that they have been show
ing signs Of uneasiness for some time.

eral AlgGr. The q coo men we now have
are not enough. Everything in Cuba and
Porto Rico is going satisfactorily. There
was never any idea of making General
Wood commanding general in Cuba. His

major general is now full. The trouble

THE SNOWSLIDE
IN COLORADO

Silver Plume, Colo, Feb. 13.--Many peo-
pie living on the mountain sides are mov-
ing today to avoid possible death in snow
slides, such as that which swept down
Cheyenne canyon yesterday, killing at
least ten persons. Much heavier masses
of snow than that which came down yes
terday still cling to the mountain sides
and are liable to become dislodged at any
moment.
The bodies of the men who We're carried
away in the avalanche of yesterday are
still being hunted. So far eight bodies
have been recovered. Three men who
were caught in the slide We're taken out
with only slight bruises 1t is thought
thirteen persons were in the slide. Pos
sibly a dozen more We're caught by the
slide.
The known dead are:
DOMINIC D. STEFANO, wife, son and
daughter.
JOSEPH TONDENO.
JOHN TONDENO.
PETER TONDENO.
JEROME GUINAZI.
JOHN BIETTO.
ENRIC NAVARIA
Injured:
Tony Negretto,
Joseph Concono.
Tony Malino.
From within ten minutes after the slide
had come down the gulch until late into
the night men We're working in the drift
to rescue the unfortunates, and then it
was only skinned over.
AT the Stefano cabin no trace of the
man could be found. The roof of the
ca bin was taken off and the sides We're
crushed in. On the floor sat the body OF
the wife. On one side was the boy, as if
kneeling in prayer, while directly in front
of the mother was the little girl of 2
years, in the same supplicating attitude.
The mother was leaning over the little
girl as if giving her protection. All three
were dead. The snow was packed solidly
around them.
