discoveries of gold made since winter be-
gan in the Nome district were received
here today in a letter from w. A. Aber-
nethy, an experienced Alaskan miner. to
Charles Sinclair, his partner, who has

over fifty pounds of dust and nuggets
taken from a creek in the Arctic district
about sixty miles north OF Cape York.

and rendered valiant service during the
remainder of the Civil War. He was
made Captain in 1867, Major in 1882
and Lieutenant Colonel in August, 1895.
His subsequent rapid advancement was
occasioned by the war with Spain, in
which he played an important part. He
was in command of division in the
Santiago campaign and upon the evac-
uation of Cuba became Military Gov
ernor of Havana. In the latter posi-
ton he had to assume much of the la
Dor and responsibility attached to the
rehabilitation of the Cuban capital
While nominally subordinate to the di-
vision commander, General Brooke, he
was charged with the exercise of all
civil functions in Havana under the
direct authority of the President.
Ludlow was for two years military
attache of the American Legation at
London, and later, on leave of absence,
he supervised the building of the new
water works for the city of Philadel-
phia.

Leaders Meet to

Terms.
DE WET MAY
BE EXECUTED
The South African veIdt War is
Evidently Nearing Point
of Collapse.

LONDON, March IA special dis
patch from Standerton says that the
Beers are massing at q station on the
DeIagoa line and that the leaders are
comforting daily at each station and at
Petersburg. Nothing has transpired
except that the fate of the Beers who
have surrendered Is one of the subjects
of discussion. The leaders are in COM
nunication on the subject of general
surrender with the Boer committee at
Amsterdam. 1t is understood that the
manufacture of ammunition is proceed

A special dispatch from Durham, Ma

holding a meeting at Petersburg In
Northern Transvaal to discuss the ad-
visibility of continuation of the war.
DEATH IN STORE FOR DEWET.
Whatever the result of the peace ne
gotiatioas' between. General Kitchener
and General Botha, it is tolerably GER
thain that the rumors Of the inclusion
of General De Wet in any form of am
nesty are not based on fact. General
Kitchener's personal views of the Boer
leaders are not known in Pail Mall, but
if the War Office is consulted the Off

killed in action than taken alive. One
of the officials responsible for the di-
rection of the affairs of the army said:
II cannot see how Kitchener can pos
sibly accept DeWet's surrender. If he
ever gets him he will be obliged to try
him for his recent alleged murders of
prisoners. I have no doubt that the
verdict of either military or a civil
i
verdict was carried out there would be
a horrible howl on the continent and
in America. And, indeed, one would
be sorry to see such a brave fighter
meet such an end. Therefore, we can
only hope that DeWet will either be let
cut of the country or shot in battle
TROOPS SAIL FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
Nearly 5000 troops sailed from South

A dispatch from General Kitchener,

MEAT CONSUMPTION LEssENEp.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE Ger
man meat inspection law, absolutely
prohibiting the Importation of American
corned beef, sausages, etc, which went
into effect some time ago, has made no
friends, according to- a. report received
at the State Department from United
States Consul Diedrich, at Bremen. The
law has been the object of very severe
criticism in Germany, according to the
Consul, and one of the most pointed ar
guments against 1t has been that it de-
feats its avowed purpose of promoting
public health, because the resultant
high prices Of meat lessen it's consump-
ton, while the health Of the German
nation demands an increase The fact
that the meat inspection law has put
the prices up is well established, accord
ing to Consul Diedrich, and especially
among the laboring classes is the loss
of American corned beef at low figure
most strongly felt.

ties of Austria-Hungary in 1902 will ne
cessitate a general revision of the Gus
toms laws of the country, and Consul
Hossfeld says there is certainly every
indication that the new tariff laws will
be framed with a special view to pro-
hibiting the Importation of American
products. A majority of Austria econ
omists have no fear of American retail
iation, states the Consul. because Aus
tria buys from the United States more
than she sells to her.
In conclusion, the Consul SAYS that
public opinion certainly appears TO be
