FLEEING FROM SURE DEATH
Some Have Dru-ed the Perils of Snow-
Bonnd Trails to Escape—Rescuers
Going to Get the Others—Camp
Seized by Pestilence.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 4.—Hunger and
death is the inevitable for the large
number. of miners at Dawson City.
They have waited patiently for the big
transportation companies to get food
up the river, but by this time have
learned that not another steamer can
reach even Circle City on account of
low water on the Yukon flats.
To make matters worse 300 miners,
most of them having small fortunes in
gold, are blockaded at Dawson. They
cannot get down the river to St. Mich-
ael, and their only possible way of es-
cape is to attempt the dangers of a
Winter trip over Dalton trail, through
terrific snow storms, and with the
thermometer ranging from 20 to 25 Oe-
grees below zero. Dogs ueing scarce,
very few cam make this journey,
The steamer Farrallon arrived here
Saturday from Skaguay with 110 re-
turning prospectors, 'and the steamer
North Fork touched here the same
night, going to Tacoma with 28 return-
ing prospectors.
Food Nearly Gone at Dawson.
One of the prospectors on the Far-
rallon is Louis Long, direct from Daw-
son City, which place he left Aug. 26,
coming out on the Dalton trail. The
Dalton trail is passable for a week or
two yet. Here is what Long says of
- the conditions at Dawson:
I “When I left Dawson the stores had
stopped selling supplies, and res—
taurants had closed because they could
get nothing to cook. Provisions will
be scarce, although many of the miners
In my opinion, 200 or 300
will come out over the Dalton trail
within the next few days, while a great
many others are going down by St.
Michael.
Fleeing from the Fn'mished Place.
“It was a great mistake in trading
companies to bring so much whisky
up the river, instead of supplies. Be-
fore we left Dawson nine cattle had
been driven in and four of them butch-
ered. Choice cuts brought $1.50 per
pound, while a soup bone was worth
50 cents. I paid $1 and $1.25 per pound
for elk meat. We got out as quickly
as possible.
“We crossed the Summit Sept. 21 in
a. snow storm, and had Indian guides
to show us the way. We had to wade
knee-deep in snow. We met the
Sharp party twelve miles this side of
Summit i‘vitn their cattle, and it
seemed to me doubtful whether, they
would get in.”

health officer of Texas, at any point

he could take a tug and go to Galves-

No Reconciliation of the Booths.
Montclair, Oct. 4.——Mrs. Ballington
Booth yesterday denied the truth of
the report, sent from Detroit, that the
Booths were reconciled and that the
Volunteers of America would soon be
amalgamated with the Salvation
Army. "The dispatch is utterly with
out foundation. Commander Balling-
ton Booth and his followers are not
leaders of the Volunteers because of
any personal grievance or petty dif—
ferences of opinion between them and
the Salvation Army, but on an entirely
different issue, which involves an ir-
reconcilable difference between demo-
cratic and autocratic government. The
Volunteers were never stronger in
their faith and more determined to
push forward their work.
Had Yellow Jack on Board”
Lewes, Del., Oct. 4.—The Norwegian
steamship John Wilson, from Bocas del
Toro, United States of Colombia, for
Philadelphia, with a cargo of bananas
for the Quaker City Fruit Company,
arrived off the national quarantine sta-
tion at noon yesterday for medical as—
sistance. Yellow fever was discovered
on the vessel, and the chief engineer,
John Petersen, died of it at sea on Fri-
day last. His body was taken ashore
and buried in lime in the Marine Hos-
pital Cemetery. The chief officer of
the vessel was attacked with yellow
fever before the vessel cleared and
’ was put ashore at Bocas del Toro.

WEYLER IMAY REFUSE TO 'Qurr.
Claims He, Has a Two Yeats’ Contract
/ “’itil Spain. ‘ , ’
Madrid,,0ct.— 4.7—It is perfectly under-
stood in Madrid that Weyler is the
cause of the Ministerial crisis. The
Queen, as well as Azcarraga, objects to
his continuation in Cuba; but a strong
military, party, mostly composed of of—
ficers who. have obtained promotions
and decorations from ‘Weyler during
previous military campaigns,‘ upport
him in Madrid. Naturally, the Queer.
and Government were afraid of the
Vi'eyler clique and of the effect that
demonstrations in which high officer:
of the army might take part would
have on the discipline of the army in
Cuba, as on the public mind here and
in the United States.
Weyler is entirely capable of disobey—
ing orders if recalled. As Captain-
'Sexeral of the Canary Islands on a pre-
vious occasion, he refused to obey or-
ders of recall, and the Government had
to resort to energetic measures to com-
pel his obedience. Weyler now de-
clares that he has a. contract with the
Spanish Government, andrthat by that
contract he is given two years for end-
ing the war in Cuba, and that the term
has not expired.
The Queen was much annoyed at this
state of affairs, and the first step 51.16
took on arriving at Madrid was to call
to her Gen. Polavieja, in whom she
has full confidence-Who at one time
was Captain-General of Cuba, and who
recently put down an insurrection in
the Philippine Islands, where he was
sent at the Queen’s express desire and
against the will of Canovas, who
feared his influence.
Polavieja promised the Queen that he
would take the responsibility of brings
ing Weyler back from Cuba, and pre-
vent any hostile demonstrations on the
part of Weyler’s friends. ,.
Polavieja is a. very energetic man,
very popular in the army and entire-
ly capable of fulfilling his promise.
Although in bad health, he showed
himself ready to accept any post, if the
I rebellious attitude of Weyler’s friends
makes it necessary. The Queen was
thus reassured. She called Azcarraga
and delicately hinted at the necessity
of the Ministerial resignations.
She was alarmed, however,
carraga’s weakness in dealing with
Weyler. Azcarraga’s attitude. towards
Weyler is all the more extraordinary
I In that he has always been known as
the personal enemy of the present Cap-
tain-General of Cuba, but he support-
ed him from fear of his clique. The
Queen was also offended at the idea
which several papers suggested, that
she was completely under the influence
of Tetuan. ,She was much angered, be-
sides, at the extraordinary precautions
taken by the authorities on her arrival
in Madrid on Tuesday night, which
were so extreme that the Imparcial, al-
-‘though a Dynastical paper, declared
that even- Napoleon, when he entered
the Spanish capital, had not taken such
extraordinary measures to protect his
life. The Queen being a very proud
woman, these incidents resulted in
completing her determination to
change the Ministry.
Such is the true history of the crisis.

NEW BIG WIRE TRUST.
Capitalized at $50,000,000 and to
Buy All the Mills.
Chicago, Oct. 4.———Ex-Judge Gary, cne
'of the largest holders of stock in the
Consolidated Wire Company, announc-
es the launching of a trust to
control the wire, barbed wire and wire
nail interests of the country. The cap-
ital stock of the new combine will be,
at least $50,000,000, and possibly $80,-
000,000.
“It is true," admitted Judge Gary,
"that we have a plan on foot to com-
bine a number, or, rather, a majority,
of the barbed wire and wire nail mills
of the country into one concern. The
[new company will buy mills outright,
giving in exchange either cash or
stock.
“We have assurances of some of the
’ largest moneyed men in New York that
there will be no trouble in financing
the new company. The capital will
be at least $50,000,000.”
Armor Contracts Completed.
Washington, Oct. 4.—The deliveries
of armor for the battleships Kearsarge
and Kentucky, under contracts made
two years ago, have been; completed,
with the exception of some'plates for
the turrets, and within a month both
of'the big armor plants which have
supplied the navy with all the armor
for the 'sides of its war vessels will,
for the first time in the history of the
new navy, be unemployed. The pres-
ent contract represented over 6,000 tons
of all classes of armor, costing the
Government on an average of $550 a
ton, or $250 more than the department
now oflers the firms for furnishing
‘platcs to three more battleships” au-
thorized.
Swallowed :1 Dose of Chloral.
San Francisco, Oct. 4.—Theodore Por-
ter, Minister of Finance for the Ha-
waiian Republic when it was first es-
tablished in 1893, attempted suicide at
Golden Gate Park last night by swal-
, lowing a dose of chloral and cutting
veins in both his wrists. He was
picked up by a policeman and taken to
the receiving hospital, where his life
was saved by the attending physicians.
He now lies in a. very precarious state
at the home of a friend. .
