2 THE FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, north this winter, Dawson City will not alone contribute the victims. Men will die on the long dreary stretch of country that they cali White Pass. I have hope for those at Dawson, but for those who will try to go over White Pass I have none.” Burton C. Bennett, United States Dis- trict terview which he gave to THE CALL corre- spondent. He came down on the steamer Queen which reached here this afternoou. He says he comes ior pleasure, and return in about two weeks. He may make a statement to the Government officials about affairs ot Alaska as he knows them, but it is not_ hkely, as he is saiisfied the Government is already well Bennett believes that there will be much suffering in the north this winter. He does not see how starvation, exposure and death can be kept away from the miners. “From what I can learn,” he said, “there is not and will not bg enough food at Dawson City this winter. With favor- able weather the trading companies may get more up the river than was antici- pated. butit is not likely. It will be im- possible under the mast favorable circum- stances to get sufficient food in to supply | all who are there. I feel sure of that after carefal inquiry and from letters I have received from Daw-on City, but, as I say, if Dawson City suffers, think of the men on white Pass. The world may not real- ize it, but there are men up north who are walking nght into deah. The suow is now flying on White Pass. “Many propose to winter at Skaguay, bui from what I can learn hundreds do | not propose to stop there, nor will they | reiurn to civilization. They have the | gold fever asno other body of men ever had it. >ry time they hear of a strike in the Yukon couniry they getc: than ever. They will not siop for snow; they will not stop for storms. They will keep pushing over White Pass all winter. “I am satisfied that when the snow i coming down in all itsfury on the pass- and the winds are biowing awful gales this winter you will find men on White | P I is an awful thing to tbink about, | Pass. but it is tree, and these men shouid be stopped. I would not be a bit surprised to learn of many deaths up there this win- ter. [tisthe most damnable rush Iever beard of or read of and can result but in one thing—death. These foolish men do not kpow anything about the horrors of ‘White Pass in the winter time, yet they keep on, and just about the time that winter is atits worst some of them will be caught on White Pass. Wthen spring time comes you will find their white bonesin the grewsome marshes which comprise most of the pass. “Iam satistied that those who remain at Skaguay this winter will be ail right. Spring will soon bs with them and they can start for the north. Once there they will all come back rich, if they are w 10 stay and work for a few vears. gold in every body of water, big and little, in our country—I am satisfied of that. Why, the people of the States, with all the newspaper talk, do not know what 1he rash will be the coming spring. From letters which I iave received from the States I am satistied that there wiil be 50,000 people in Alaska three months af the spring rush has commenced. Iiwill be something enormous. There will be some disappointments, but there is no Teason why there should be if the men | will but hold out. The great trouble will be that evervbody will want to go to the Klondike. Now, ali the claims in that country are in old hands and the new. comer will have to go out and prosvect. If he does that he will be all right. Tam satisfied that there is plenty of gold for all if the men want to search for it. If they search long enough they will find Jedges, tfor this gold comes from some- where. +I think that the reports about so much crime in the vicinity of Skaguay must have been exagg :ated. We are doing what we can to see that order s preserved. and we have been fairly successful. Of course, there are some criminals there. but crime is very small. We have officers at Skagaay. They will winter there, and I look lor no tiouble. “'One 1hing is certain, and that is that ihe United States Government will have to take steps at once 1o give Alsska 2 new | government. At present it is ene judicial district. 1 favor three—one for Southeast Alaska, one for Westen Alaska and one for the Yukon. The whisky traffic is, of course, Jarge. We are trying to break it up, but we have not sufficient officers. I libsled a sctooner the other day for bring- ing in 400 gallons. She was an American schooner and nad no*name. But it con- tinues and will continue. We will not be abe to break i* up until we have more officers and several revenue cutters 1o watch for smugglers. “Ido not bel:eve the United States will have any trouble with Canaca over the Kiondike rush.”” - soldiers Of to 5t, Michael.

SEATTLE, Wasi., Sept. 22.—“Soapy” | Smith, the St. Louis gambler who isa | professional in working the shell game, | came down on the steamer Queen to-day, but to-night local detectives who desire to get a look at him were unable to locate | bim. Passengers on the Queen who know him say that he had about $10,000, every | cent of whbich he made by playing the shell game, Smith went to Skaguay about two months ago and a day did not o by after | that without his makineg money. Propie | who have been at Skaguay tell many storiesaboat the successiul way he operat- ed. Foratime the town of Skaguay was | his headquarters. He stayed there night | and day, and whenever he could get a| crowd around bim he started to play the | game upon a little table that he allowed | to rest on one arm. A Swede was among his early victims. In fact he seemed to | catch more of that nstionality than of | any other. He took in ihe neighborhood | of $300 from his first victim, who felt sure | eacn time that he coula locate the little luck ball. Each time he failed and Smith the money in his pocket. Things became too hot for Smith at Skaguay after a time. Every time he | | tried to work his game men who had al- | ready bet and lost called the new victim | away. At last Smith, with “Jack” Jolly, | the notorious Montana ex-convict, went out in the direction of the pass. As miners came along en route for the summii they | were invited to bet. Smith haa a man or | two among them who always bet and won. That inspired the others and they bet and | lost until they were comuvelled, because of | | no money, to return to Skaguay. | The men who made $10 a day each pack- | ing met Smith on the pass. They were re- turning from a trip over the summit. Smith got them interested in hisgame and | in twenty minutes he had about $200 of | | their money. They demanded that he it. Smith refused and the men | made an attack on him. He drew his re- volver ard with the aid of that and ex- convict Jolly made his escape. He di-ap- | peared after that for several days, but at | the end of that time was back on tie pass. Local detectives say that Smith’s reputa- tion for working the shell game isihe ‘“‘best” in the United States, — BEINGS KETURNING ARGONAUTS. | Steamer Queen Carries Many Men From Whits Pass.

She brought | down a number of gold-seekers who real- | ize that it will b2 impossible to reach Daw- | son this winter. Winter has begun in earnest with the travelers on the Dyea and Skaguay trails, and all whodo not intend to winter in Alaska are hastening out. The peaks of the mountains flanking the passes are | blanketed four feet deep with snow, and | the smailer streams are encrusted with films of ice. When the Queen left Skag- | uay. on September 14, there were many | parties straggling in from the mountains, | | ana it is stated that a majority will return | to Scattle and await the return of spring. | Preparations are beinz made to winter a | number in both Juneau and Skaguay.

Text of the Announcement Ma by Woodford to Tetuan. America WillInterfere if Spain Does Not Succeed in Reason- able Time. MADRID, Spaix, Sept. 22.—The corre- spondent here of the Associated Press learns, upon high sauthority, that the much-discassed interview of Saturday last between the United States Minister to Spain, General Stewart L. Woodford, and the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Duize of Tetuan, were merely pre- liminary. General Woodford reported to the Duke the gravity of the condition of Cuba, and requested, in behalf of the United States, that Spain would find a method of speedily ending the war and giving jus- tice to the Cubans. He offered the good leoffices of the United States in effecting a settlement of th» Cuban troubles, which practically gives Spain an opportunity of gracefully ending the war. It she does not embrace it within a rea- sonable time notice will be given that the United States must interfere, though Gen- eral Woodford has not said so-yet. Spain cannot expect the aid of Enro- pean powers, as the United States Em- | bassadors have ascertained that all the European countries except Austria recog- nize that the interests of the Uniied States justify the latter’s interference in Cuba. Anstria in this matter is influenced by the relationship between the two dynas- ties, the Queen Regent of Spain being an Austrian Archduchess, but it is not likely that Austria will take any part in the question beyond possibly making a diplo- matic protest against the intervention of the United States. The Duke of Tetuan, the Spanish Min- ister of Foreign Affairs, in the course of an interview to-day with the correspond- entofthe Asscciated Press, denies thatthe Government has received an ultimatum from the United States with regard to Cuba, ana said he had received a cable- gram from Senor de Lome, the Spanish Minister to the United States, to the same effect, and also denying the exist. | ence of an ultimatum. The Co:respondencia de Espania asserts that pour parlers are proceeding be- tween the United States_and Spain for a friendly settlement of affairs in Cuba. El Epoca, after denouncing as ‘‘sensa- tional”’ the story of an ultimatum, points out that the Cubans have not been at war with Spain without the moral and mate- rial co-operation of the American peo There is a great deal of comment as to the origin of the ultimatum cenard. It has been attributed to a foreign Embassa- dor, but ali the Embassadors deny the responsibility. ‘T'he people do not think that war is_in- evitable. Itis also asserted that the Lib- erals will soon form a Cabinet and that on he return of the Queen from San Sebas- tian to Madrid Captain-Generai Weyler will be recalled and autonomy established in Cuba, thus leaving no pre ext for the intervention of the United States. Contrary to expectalions confidentiy entertained to-day, Senor Reverter, Min- ister of Finance, has not resigned his portfolio. WIDOW KIZa APPLAUDED. Cubans Praise the Courage of the Phil- ippine Amazon. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 22.—A spe- cial from Philadelphia says: The an- nouncement that the widow of Dr. R zal, the massacred leader of the Philippine revolt, was in this city arranging a fili- bustering expedition. has created wide- spread interest among Cuban patriots. General Emdis Nunez to-day, after ¥ RIETENTION CAMPS § INFECTED 7O0WNS s Railroads i —— — ——Boundaries i 60 0 120 } Statute Miles Map of the Yellow Fever District Showing the Cities and Towns So Far Infected and the Detention Camps. landing a successful filibustering expedi tion in Cuba, spoke enthusiast ically of the courageous woman who pians systematic patriotic support with 4 desire to avenge her husband’s death. General Nuncz said: “Dr. Rizal was a wonderiul manp, intel- lectual and of the highest couraze. He was the heart and soul of the Philippine revolutin. Grave mistakes were made at first from the mistaken idea that the Spaniards could be met in pitched open battle. After advice had been sent from Cuba upon guerrilla warfare their power was crippled and the patriots are to-day in a fair way to win their struggle. 3 “G:neral Aquinalba of the Philippines has been constantly in communicaiion with Generals Garcia and Gomez of Cubva, and is acting upon their suggestions with great success. They exchange experience and adopt mutually the best way of fight- ing the common enemy. 3 General Aquinalba has also received valuable news from the penal setilement of Ceuts, on the coast of Afriea, where Cuban prisoners are sent, who have man- aged to communicate with the leaders of the Philippine revolution. *“All Cuba will be glad of the widow’s success in leading an expedition to the Phiiippines,’’ The story of her efforts was read with great interest at the Junta in New York. ——— NEW CUBAN ZTARIFF LAW. How Spain Proposes to Get Even on Uncls Sam. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 22.—A Wast:- ington special to the Herald says: Copies of the new Cuban tariff law have been re- ceived here. They show in detail the manner in which trade between the United States and Cuba will be affected. The preamble recites that Spain shall be able to decree a special recharge of 30 per cent of ail duties on products of what- ever nation that, in application of its gen- eral tariff, shail prejudice Spsin’s prod- ucts by treating them differentially. Under this clause the Government has great discretionary powers. The preamble suppresses entirely the ‘“favored-nation clause” and provides “that as regards commercial treaties it ig decreed that all treaties or commerciat conventions which affect the customs of the island must be special.” An export tax is levied on tobacco, ana the foliowing articles are prohibited from importation: Arms and munitions of war, dynamite and all explosives (ex- cevt by special permission), and sugar and molasses, except from Spanish posses- sions. Slse s STATE DEPAXTMENT RETICENCE. to Discuss « Most Important Dispatch From Madrid. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 22.—The State Department officials refuse to dis- cuss the most important statemen?t made the inAssociated Presscable dispatch from Madrid, namely—that the countries of Europe, with the exception of Austria, justify the interposition of the United States in favor of a termination of the Cuban war. 8till, it is recalled that while Mr. Wood- ford was tarrying in an apparently pur- poseless manner in London and Parls, instead of proceeding to his post in Befuse Spain, it leaked out that the United States Ministers at various European courts bad been instructed 10 sound the Governments to whick they were ac- credited with a view o learning how in- tervention in favor of Cuba would be re- garded. Although it was generally sup- posed at the time that this effort wuuPd not succeed, there is now good reazon to accept the statement in the Madrid cable as fully warranted by the facts. e Weyler Dentes a Defeat. MADRID, Spary, Sept. 22.—The Govern- ment has received the following dispatch from Captain-General Weyler: “The New York story of the capture of Managua (a town about three miles from Havana) is untrue. Iam in constantcom- manication with Managua, which is well defendea.’” COLLECTION AGEMNCY TIED UP. Passes Into the Hands of a Recciter With $30,000 Liabitities. NEW YOKK, N. Y., Sept. 22.—It was announced to-day that a collection agency known as the United Merchants of New York, with cffices in this city, was short $30,000. This concern went into the hands of a receiver two weeks ago. Ferdinand T. Thompson, counszl to the failed concern, who held 132shares of its stock, has onlv been once to the offi since a receiver was appointed. Mr. Thompson’s iriends declare that if his accounts are not correct, it is merely due to an oversighf, and that he would un- doubtedly return to siraighten matters out. . Mr, Thompson is a nephew of “Lucky” Baldwin. He lived in very good style in Linden, N. J., and was regarded as being exiremely wealthy. The United Merchants of New York was incorporated under the laws of West Virginia in 1890 to collect claims for stockhoiders. It had an initial mem- bership of 150, each subscriber paying $100. (IEE Rt Bullding a New tace for Her. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 22.—A wonderfu! surgical operation has been performed by Drs. Parsons and McCaughan of the Children’s Hospital upon nine-vear-old Lillie Statenius. They constructed for her a palate and a nose and an upper lip. She is an orphan and was sent to the bospital from the Episcopal Orphanage. Her face was deformed and was frizhtful o look upon. The surgeons saw but one way to remedy it, and that was by an operation, which was done. The pulate was gone, and her nose had zrown over and attached itself to bher bairlip. The case was a singular one, and called for the most delicate of surgicai work. The opera- tion was succe:siui, even beyond the an- ticipations of the surgeons. P e Turks Arve Satisfled. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 22.—A dis- pateh to the terald from Thermpia says: The Levant Herald says itis difficult to exaggerate the general feeling of satisfac- tion caused by the signature of the peace preliminaries. ‘The conclusion was greatly facilitated by the moderation of the im- perial Government and the Sultan, who accepted the terms, which fall far short of what facts connected with the war would have justitied. This iact was fulls acknowiedged in the speech of -the Austrian Ewbassador. >——— Liner Oneida Kaived. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 22.—The Ciyde steamer Oneida, which sank in her slip yesterday, was raised to-day. The greater portion of her cargo has been re- moved, and after the water 18 pumped out of her hoid she will be docked at the Erie Basin to ascertain the naiure and ex. tent of the injuries which resulted in her sinking. e INTERESTS THE COAST. s — Two New California Posimasters—Pen- sions for Velerans.

Congratulate the Miners on the Ouicome of Their Struggle. See No Need for the Proposed Labor Convention In Chicago Next Monday. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 22.—The executive council of the American Feder- ation of Labor met to-aay at the head- quarters of the organization in ihis city to discuss tbe mining situation. There were present Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Sec- retary Frank Morrison, Frank J. Gougar of Philadelphia, James Duncan of Balti- more, James O'Connel of Chicago, Mr. Garland of Pitisburg, M. D. Ratchford (president of the United Mine Workers’ Asscciation), Cameron Miller of the ex- ecuative board of the U. M. W., and Frank J. Weber, one of the Federation of Labor organizers in the West Virginia mining district. After adjusting some internal matters the subject of the membership of em- ployers and workmen in an afliliated union at Bonner, Mont., was discussed at le:gth by the council, it being alleged that the working members of the union were not free in the exercise of their rights by reason of the membership cf their em- pioyers. A decision was reached compeliing the employers and their foremen and bosses to be released from their membership in the organization in order that the original purpose for the betterment of wage- earners may not be longer interfered with. The dispute existing between the United Hatters of North America and the St. John Comvany was also a matter of dis- cussion. The executive officers of the federation will request the firm to recog- nize the union of hatters and to grant fair | and reasonable conditions to their em- ployes. ¢ i On application of the Canmakers’ Union for a general boycott of firms antagonistic to the unions, the conelusion was reached that it would be more advisable and more just to examine into each individual com- plaint in order that firms who would agree to employ union heip might not be placed at a disadvantage, as they would b+ under 4 general bovcott. The council resolved to continue its present organization in the mining dis- tricts of West Virginia and Illinois, and also to appoint two additional orgenizers to aid the miners in those States in effect- ing an early settiement of the wage scale, based upon the agreement of the Colum- bus convention. The council to-night delivered an ad- dress which in part is as follows: Acall hss gone forth to the trade unions and public for a labor convention in Chicago next Monday. The ostensible objects are to take measures iu aid of the miners’ strike and to offset the sweeping powers in gran i junctions in defiance of popular rights during iabor disputes. These ubjects are very commendable and worthy the active practical support of every trade-unionist and every lover of his fellow- man; butconditions have somewhat changed siuce that convention was sgreed upon. This week fully 75,000 miners have gone to work on terms fixed jointly by the miners and op- erators. It is the greatest victory gained by trades unions in years. It waswon against the combined power oi wealih, judicial usurpations and inhuman tyranny. Toe American Federation of Labor, believ- ing only iu practical methods, has decided to continue its support with organizers and money until a complete victory for the miners is won. 7To thisend it calls on its unjons and on the public to not halt in their ful: and un- measured aid to this worthy movement Many families slitl need support and money wiil bé required until the miners are more fully at work and able to help themselve Let the trede unions be liberal in their don tions until this siruggle is crowned with com- plete suceess. g We can see no need for the labor convention in Chicago next Monday. We advise our unions not to_be represented there. The money it wounld cost to xcnd delegates had better go to help the suffering miners and their families. 1tisnot by conventions, irresponsible talk, inflam=uatory declaration and revoluiionary buncombe that the cause of labor can be ad- vanced. Violent appeals to the passions of the muititudes can serve no good purpose. It is ounly systematic organization of the working people in trades uuions, with united hearts and united funds and a iraternity of purpose which knows no bounds of creed, color, nationality or polities that will up:ift the masses. An appeal made to the press and clergy to oppose ‘“‘the unfair and uncon- stitutional use of judicial injunctions, which are wholly subversive or popuiar liberty,” and the people are urged to elect men to legislative offices who will make NEW TO-DAY!

Threaten a Crisis Shou'd the Bank of England Ho'd 4ny of Its Reserve in Silver. LONDON, Excraxp, Sept. £22—A meet- ing of the bankers of London, called to protest against the action of the gover- nor of the Bank of England, Hugh C. Smith, who, at the semi-annual meeting of that institution on T.ursday last, read a letter datea July %9, addressed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, 8ir Michael Hicks-Beach, in which the governor an- nounced that the bank was prepared to carry out what is laid down as permissible in 1ts charter, namely, to hola one-fifth of the bullion held against its note issue in silver, provided always that the French mint s again open to the free coinage of silver and the price at which silyer is pro- curable and salable is satisfactorv—was beld at the Clearing-house t0-aay. There was a large attendance of repre- sentatives of powerful interests. Several of the prominent banks were not repre- sented, but according to the siatements of those who participated in the meeting, their absence was due to the fact that the heads of the banks were not in London. A resolation protesting against the Bank of England’s proposed action was adopted. This resolution will be embodied in a letter to the governor of the bank, which will be presented to him to-morrow. The bankers who were present at to- day’s meeting were pledged to secrecy in regard to the proceedings. Robert Benson, who threatened at the recent meeting of the Bank of England to sell his bank stock if silver re~erves were held, took a prominent part in the meeting 1o-day. The protest upon the part of the London bankers is unprecedented, and is the only thing talked about at present in financial crcles. e, STEAMERS. Seventy Persons Drowned in Sight of the Vienna Pier.

Y., Sept. 22.—A 8ye- cial cablegram trom London to the Even- ing Post says: Gold to the amount of £200 000 was withdrawn from the Bank of Englanda for shipment to New York. These shipments are regarded as the re- sult of the more stringent money market in New York, which is now watched more closely than 1s the rate on exchange. More gold is expected to go, but opinion here favors only a moderate toial in all. That will depend, however, of necessity largely on the cou of the markets. e R Mercy jor an Anarchist.
