The Administration Taking .Care to Be
Ready for Emergency.
Washington, Jan. 21.—The impression
hat the Cuban question is approaching
I. crisis is strengthened by reports to
he State Department from Consul—
}eneral Lee. It is reported that Gen.
bee has placed himself on record as
oredicting that the war would end
vith the present fighting season. That
‘Lhe President agrees with him in this
s evidently indicated by a report which
5 current that ex-Congressman Ald-.
'ich of Chicago, who was selected as
’a‘ren. Lee’s successor, will become Con-
Iul-General at Havana in the spring or
;ummer.
Itwas intended early in the adminis-
ration to accept Gen. Lee’s resignation
Ind send Mr. Aldrich in his place. The
?resident, however, came to the con-
:lusion that it would be unwise to sub-
stitute an inexperienced man like Mr.
Aldrich for Gen. Lee who, he thought
lad proved a capable representative
)f American interests during the try-
ng times since the war began.
Besides, Mr. McKinley was inpressed
with the strength which Gen. Lee dis-
ilayed in forcing the Spanish to respect
:he rights of this country. ’thn the
fonsul-General returned to this coun-
try last fall, expecting that he would
let return to Havana,- the President
Lsked him to go back and remain un-‘
:il the end of the war.
While the speech delivered “rednes-
lay in the House on the Cuban ques—
tion is regarded as significant. it is con-
:eded that Mr. Hitt was not explicit
enough in indicating what the Presi-
ient intended to do. In the executive
)ranch of the Government, however.
luiet preparations are going on which
show‘that the administration is pre—
Jaring for an emergency. Ships are

It is said at the Navy Department
:hat orders have been sent to the He-
lena, en route to China, to proceeed to
Lisbon instead of going to Gibraltar in
accordance with the original itinerary,
but the naval officers did not explain
why the gunboat was to remain at Lis-
bon a week. The ships of the North
Atlantic squadron will remain in Flori-
da waters until April, and a cruiser
will be kept constantly at Key West

eral Lee, who fears that the outbreak
In Havana may call for the presence of
=1 man-of-war.
All these things go to show that the
administration while anxious to avoid
hanging its hand forced by Congress,
fully realizing the gravity of the situa-
tion and is prepared to meet any emer-
gency.
Cuban Question Growing Grave.
London, Jan. 23‘.~The Times, in an
editorial this morning on Representa—
tive Hitt‘s speech in the House of Rep-
resentatives on 'Wednesday. says:
“We assume that President McKin-
ley does not wish his hand to be forced
by the opposite party. He does not
want war with Spain, because his heart
is set upon promoting the economical
developments of the
United States. Yet it remains doubtful
whether he will prove strong:~ enough
to resist the. pressure brought to bear
upon him.
“One of the usual. kaleidoscopie
changes in American politics has just
been effected; The‘Cuban question is
evidently much graver than it was two
days ago,_and the Government is not. ‘
any stronger. An accident may precip—
te anything."
PREPARING FOR THE RUSH.
additional Steamship Accommodation for
Passengers to the Klondike.
.San Francisco. Jan. 21.—The local
transportation companies are prepar-
ing to accommodate the rush to the
Klondike. The Pacific Coast Steam-
ship Company has arranged a. schedule
that will
se‘rVice between San Francisco and
Alaskan ports. The company expects
to handle at least 10,000 passengers out
of this city next month, and during
the entire season the total tonnage in
this port is calculated to accommodate
50,000 persons.
About June 1 steamers will be placed
on the run between this city and St.
Michaels. The Alaska Commercial
Company will run the steamers St.
Paul, Dora, Bertha. and Portland. with
an average carrying capacity of 300
persons each. Thesevesseis will con-
nect with the river steamers upon the
breaking up of the ice and not less than
two trips a month will be made from
here.
ThePacific Steam Whaling Com-
pany will run steamers to Cook's In-
let. and Alaska. These means of get-
ting to the gold fields will be greatly
augmented when the vessels now in
course of construction are completed.
Advance in Rates.
Seattle, “’ash.. Jan. 2l.—The expect«
ed advance in rates to Alaska has been
The several transporta-
tion companies who control nearly all
the business have agreed on an in-
crease of $10 to the passenger rate be—
tween Puget Sound points and Dyea

crease to Juneau and other southeast-
ern Alaska points.
The new rate to Dye-a and Skaguay.
