Gold Hunters Leave Dawson and
Return to Seattle.
MANY ARE NOW IN NEED
__-—.__.. _.
Fifty Discouraged Prospectors Turn
Back at St. Michael’s—Miners Vain-
ly Awaiting the Arrival of Pro-
' visions.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 12.—Several per-
sons who have arrived on the Dalton
trail from the Klondike, repeat the
story of the scarcity of provisions and
possible hunger and starvation with
many persons there this Winter.
James Clark-and C. A. Brown, who
had been mining 0n Birch Creek, hav-
ing left Dawson~ City Sept. 6, at noon,
poled up the river to fifteen miles
above Pelly River and there bought a.
horse and came in over the supposed
Dalton Trail, making the trip in
twenty-six days to Haines’ Mission, ar-
riving there on Sunday.
They left Dawson because of the
scarcity of food. They report that the
office of the Gold Commissioner had
been entered by burglars a. few days
before, and about $4,000 taken. Mount-
ed police had been trying to run down
the thieyes, but had been unsuccessful.
Clark and Brown say that the people
at Dawson were much excited over the
failure of a steamboat to arrive from
St. Michaels with food. The Hamilton
was looked for daily. Dawson people
Idid not know that the Hamilton had
been caught on a sand bar and would
not be able to reach them until Spring.
E Clark says that he met hundreds of
persons going to Dawson while he was
coming out. He begged them to re-
turn, telling them that they would
, have to surrender their food, and
starvation would be about the best
. l they would get.
They asked him if there was gold at
’ Dawsbn. .
He said: “Yes, and plenty of it."
“That's all we want,” they said, and
continued on their journey. Clark and
Brown are of the opinion that the
Thorp party, which is trying to get
Into Dawson with several hundred head
of cattle and horses will meet death
on the Dalton trail. They passed the
party several hundred miles up the
trail. It had no food for the animals,
and many of them had already died,
and others were succumbing every day.
The trip is one of the most dangerous
at this time of the year in all Alaska.
Tharp, the leader of the party of fif-
teen, does not seem to know'the trail.
On several occasions all were lost, and
it was with difficulty that the trail was
recovered.
Clark and Brown say that millions of
dollars in gold will be taken out of the
American side this Spring. They have
several claims worth fortunes. New
discoveries are being made all the
time, but the scarcity of food has be-
come a crisis.
-Many were trying to get out of the
country when these men left Dawson.
The North American Company’s store
was closed, but the Alaska Commercial
Company had a few sacks of flour,
which were being dealt out to those
who were already in need of food.

District Attorney Fox Wishes to
\Vithdrtiw from Wunnrnuker Case.
Easton, Pa., Oct. 12.—Before"Judge
3:" .Scott, James W. Fox, the District At-
torney, presented, a petition asking to
be relieved of acting as District At-
torney in the cases against Gen. Frank
Reeder, Webster C. Weiss and Maurice
- I Luckenbach, who are charged with con-
spiracy against John Wanamaker, and.
praying the Court to appoint a special
District Attorney to conduct the cases.
; His petition said: .
‘ ly reason of the relations existing
between your petitioner and the said
Frank Reeder, your petitioner feels
that it would be indelicate and-improp-
er for him to act as District Attorney
in the trial of said cases.”
Judge Scott will consider the matter
for a few days. There has been no
new development in the report that
William Winsboro, one of the Com-
monwealth’s witnesses, had gone to
Europe, except that his brother-in-law,
L. B. Camden, of Bangor, said to—day
that Winsboro had intended going
abroad on State business. VVinsboro’s
absence will not be of any moment, un-
less he fails to be here when the case
:omes up for trial in November.
Catholics and Indians.
Washington, Oct. 12.—At the annual
meeting of the Catholic Archbishops,
which will be held in this city this
week, and over which Cardinal Gib-
bons will preside, a new plan of admin—
istration of the Catholic Indian mis-
sions will be considered.
It is said that archb’ishops who have
Indians in their archdioceses will them-
selves undertake their care in—
struction, the same as they have al-
ways done in the case of orphanr; so
that the present Bureau of Indian I-lis-
sions, as now constituted, which has
been maintaining missions and schools
for years, will be abolished. -

When an incident like the following
Occurs right here at home it is bound
to carry weight with our readers.
When so many strange occurrences go
the rounds of the press, are published
as facts when the intelligent reader
knows they cannot be true, there is no
wonder that people become skeptical.
On one subject skepticism is rapidly
disappearing. This is due to the act-
ual personal experience of our citizens,
and their public utterances regarding
them. The doubter must doubt no
more in the face of such evidence as
this. The public statement of a reput-
able citizen living right-here at home,
one whom you can see every day, leaves
no ground for the skeptic to stand on.

WASHINGTON CONFERENCE
Believed There that Pleas for Delay
“'1“ Be Made by the Sugasta
Ministry in Dealing with the
United States.
Madrid, Spain, Oct. 12.—Gen. Ramon
Blanco, the new Captain-General of
Cuba, announces that he will act with
great energy against the insurgents,
and will employ all political means to
restore equality of treatment in the
various sections of the community. The
Captain-General adds that he has the
greatest desire to end the horrors of
war, and to establish peace by the sys-
_ tern which he adopted in 1879. '
Many of the inhabitants of Palma,
the capital of the island of Majorca,
have decided to hold a. grand demons
stration, welcoming G’en. Weyler to his
native place upon his return to Spain.
Gen. Blanco will sail for Havana to-
day. Gen. Weyler will return to Spain
immediately. His second in command,
Marquis Ahumada, has resigned.
Therefore Castellanos commands ad in-
terim.
No Definite Policy For Cuba.
Washington, Oct. 12.—It is understood
that the State Department is going
over with Gen. Lee and Mr. Hannis
Taylor, former Minister to Spain, the
effect of'the recent Cabinet changes,
the result of Gen. Weyler’s withdraw-
al and his succession by Gen. Blanco,
and other new phases developed by the
accession of Sagasta.
The escape of Miss Cisneros from a
Havana prison through the alleged'ef-
forts of Americans has been talked
over also, the prevailing view being
that it will not lead to an international
complication.
Mr. Taylor will not discuss the pres-
ent situation at Madrid. He is en-
gaged, however, in writing a review of
the political, economic and diplomatic
phases of the Cuban problem, with his
own views, drawn from experience at
Madrid, and refuses to make any com-
ment in advance of his carefully pre-
pared review of the case. .
The talks of Administration officials
with Mr. Taylor and Gen. Lee have
given an accurate view of the situation
both at Havana and Madrid resulting
from the change of the Spanish Cab-
inet and policy. There is good reason
to believe that the view communicated
to the State Department is that the
accession of Sagasta means a Fabian
policy of delay, not only for the pres-
ent, but for many weeks to come, but
no definite policy for Cuba will be an-
nounced for some time. ‘
How Miss Cisncros Escaped.
New York, Oct. lz—The manner in
which Evangelina Cosio y Cisneros es-
caped from the Cuban prison in which
Gen. Weyler had'consigned her is no
less interesting than the escape itself.
The young girl who had the courage
to defy Weyler’s favorite officer and
later the Butcher himself was quick to
see a chance to escape when the ,oppor-
tunity came. She communicated with
friends outside and to them made
known her plan of escape.
Miss Evangelina studied the situation
carefully, and then made her arrange-
ments .to get away from the prison.
The plan followed by her she laid out
herself, and all those who helped her
had to do was to follow her instruc-
tions. '
And this is the way she planned it in
a note sent to those outside who were
to aid her:
“To escape by the roof with the aid
of a. rope, descending by the front of
the house at a given hour and signal.
For this I require acids to destroy the
bars of the windows, and opium or
morphine so as to set to sleep my com-
panions. The best way to use it‘ is in
sweets, and thus I can also set to sleep
the vigilants.
Three of you come and stand at the
corners. A lighted cigar will be the
signal of alarm, for which I may have
to delay, and a white handkerchief will
be the agreed signal by which I may
safely descend. I will only bring with
me the necessary clothes tied around
my waist.” '
That plan, outlined by the young
woman, was followed almost to the let-
ter. When she had weakened the bars
of the window in her cell she gave the
signal that all was ready. She slid
down the rope that dangled from her
cell to the ground.
Once there‘ she was hurried away to
a secret hiding—place, from which she
embarked on a steamer for the United
States. ‘
Miss Cisneros in New York.
New «York, Oct. 12.—Miss Evangelina
Cisneros, the young Cuban girl who
escaped from Casa de Recojidas, in
Cuba, Where she was held a prisoner
of war, arrived here yesterday after-
noon on the IVard line steamship Con-
cho in disguise. She was taken imme-
diately to the Offices of the Cuban
Junta in New York. There she related
all about her experiences with Weyler
and his men, all of which has been
published at great length for the past
month. Miss Cisneros appeared to be
in good health, and was jubilant over
her escape.
I Serious Riot in Rome.
l Rome, Oct. 12.—A large procession of l
| tradesmen, headed by the Pro—Syndic
of Rome and the president of the
Chamber of Commerce, marched to the
office of the Minister of the Interior
last evening to protest against and
the increased taxation.
A large crwod of people had collect-
ed around the Ministry, angry shouts
were heard, and some of those present
tore up paving stones and otherwise
assumed a very threatening attitude.
This caused the police to make an at-
tempt to disperse the violent portion of
the crowd, and in the conflict which fol-
lowed six policemen were injured and
one rioter was killed.
