Fla., April 10.—“You may tell Mr. Blanco for me that the Fern is the last ship g a ('g the American navy that will ever go out of Havana harbor while the Spanish flag flies over H & Morro. 2 = This was the'message that General Lee sent back to Genmeral Blanco as he steamed out of ® . Hav.ana harbor last night. Lee was indignant at the insults heaped upon his head by the Spanish s & officials and populace. He had been snubbed at the palace by General Blanco and affronted by Dr. Con- § % gosto. As the Fern bearing our consular representative left the harbor there were cries of “Fuera!” i = (“Begone’) from thousands of throats, and Vice-Consul Springer made a gesture in reply which meant, s ¢ “We will come again,” and ecried, “Esperen volvernos!" (“Await our return.”) 4 When General Lee went : ' to the palace yesterday he was accompanied by the British Consul, Mr. Gullon, who was to take unwilling charge of the American con- sulate. Mr. Gullon is a Spanish sympathizer and refused to take charge until peremptorily ordered to do so from London. General Lee sent in his compliments to General Blanco, with the request for an audience. He was still Consul-General, and desired to say that he took leave pending his re- turn from the United States. Instead of General Blanco came Congosto, with a curt message that the captain- general did not desire to see General Lee again. General Lee was dumfounded.

DYEA, April 6, via Tacoma, April 10.—At the time of the sailing of the steamship Australia this moerning at 6 o’clock, forty-two bodies had been re- covered from their burial in the snow at the front of Chilcoot Pass by the | avalanche of Sunday morning. A large force of men is at work mov- ing the snow and has been so employed with all possible energy since the slide, but the work has resulted only in the opening of two short _and narrow trenches in an expanse of snow that the power house of the company at Sheep taken charge of the work of excavation effects of the deceased, and all is being done that can be in the premises expe- ditiously and well. heavy snowstorm and came from the precipitous side of the mountain to the has changed the topography of east of the canyon.

Consul Gullon, instead of leaving with General Lee, made an excuse that he had to see Dr. Congosto on a per- sonal matter and remained behind. As General Lee passed down the crowded staircase Spanish subalterns and attaches made fun of him, muttering insults and crying “Fuera.” It is the duty of soldiers out of the palace when a consular rep- mile and has subr erged a little city of tents, their inhabitants and a large quantity of provisions. To shift this body of snow, twenty and thirty feet deep in places, will be impossible, and | the full extent of Saturday’'s casualty will not be known until spring and | summer leave the canyon bare. From what is known of the number of people who were moving upon, or were located on, the trail at the point covered by the slide, it is estimated that the number of deaths will reach one hundred. Sheep Camp, a village of nearly 1000 people, has for occupation now only a search for, and care of, the bodies of the dead and the few who were taken out alive after their long submersion. There were less than a dozen of these, and their experience was such as to have wholly broken their nerve. To ask them to relate it is to invite them to weep like feeble old men. A morgue has been established in a tent where the bodies of the dead brought from the heights above strap- ped to sleds are laid in a row for iden- tification. An undertaker has prepared severity until all traffic was stopped. viduals all the way down the line from were kept busy digging their fellows out. In the camp at the Scales an or- ganization was effected and men were placed on guard day and night with shovels to respond quickly to the cry of distress. They were kept busy all Saturday night. On Sunday morning the storm still increased, the snow blowing so thick before a driving wind that one could not distinguish a figure ten paces dis- tant. About 9 o’clock a tent occupled by Mr. and urs. W. H. Maxson was buried under a snow slide, and it was an hour before the force of men which answered their cries released them. Mrs. Maxson, Mrs. Estes and other women in the camp became hysterical and called upon the men to lead the way to Sheep Camp, that %€y might all of them flee from what seemed cer- tain death. A number of people congregated about the restaurant tent'of F. B. Hol- resentative appears to stand at attention. As General Lee passed the soldiers re- mained lounging about. So many threats had been made and so gross had been the insults that General Lee had decided o remain no longer in _Havan@ and went on board the Fern. Everything had been done to protect American interests. All the Consuls and Vice-Consuls were gathered in Cuba. All persons desiring the protection of the United States were given passage in ships. v The steamer James H. Dudley, which came in, was advised by Lee not to unload, but to depart at once. The oil steamer Almouth of I’.mladelphia had disregarded General Lee's advice and unloaded, and was lying at the dook. Nothing could be done for her. The Olivette was literally loaded down with passengers, One hundred went aboard the Evelyn, a tramp steamer. There were twenty-six on the Bache, and on the Fern w%re General Lee and his staff and the American newspaper correspondents. Among the refugees were several Englishmen. The English ?gzng'uugd gone over the head of the British Consul and demanded the protection of General Blanco, fearing they would be taken for Americans 1iled. The Dudley was the first to sail ; then the Olivette left; then the Evelyn, Bache, and last of all, the Fern. Each boat wanted to be last. The B'c‘whe‘s engineers had arranged to plead a breakdown and did it, and General Lee had to peremptorily order the Bache to proceed. The harbor wm'; h}led from Machina wharf to Morro castle on one side and to La Punta on the other with thousands of spectators. Everybody. whistled, as whistling is a mark of derision, like hissing in the United States. ’ As the Fern passed the Alphonso XII a gun was trained on her and the gun crew stood ready. General Lee saw it and spoke of it. The gun was swung around after the Fern had passed. Above the whistling came cries of “Fuera!” acoompanied by insulting epithets. Back went ;he ]x{-eplyv;ro;n Vice-Consul Springer, “Esperen volvernos!” Covering the rear of the fleet of the refugees the Fern swept out to sea and headed or Key West. : CONSUL-GENERAL FITZHUGH LEE. a lot of rough boxes from heavy rip- sawed lumber, and on being identified the bodies are placed in these and freighted in wagons down through the canyon to Dyea, fourteen miles dis- tant.

Not only this, the President in his comment on the new programme of Spain will indicate that she should be allowed an opportunity to prove her sincerity to establish the new form of self-government which she now contemplates.. Thus it would appear that Spain has gained at least delay by the new card which she has played. 3 306 308 108 0% 108 108 106 10 308 30% 308 308 Y08 30K 300 306 00 e 0k ¥ b3 o Vi . : Fhe 130 Y6 106300108 30 610 14103630 2626 0630 0K X0 108 30 10630k 16 106 X0 3 0K X X ¢ EeloR-RaReR-ToRogeFog=gege FeFogegegegug-FuF-] USRS W R RN RS Eem————— B R R b B e Bt | pany has lost nineteen men and the ) on the line and make a run for Sheep Camp.” In this work Mrs. Maxson, who had had the experience of the morn- tent in the blinding When the line started, it is estimat- dred men and women clinging to it, | for the space was entirely full the in- The avalanche occurred at about 11 | dividuais being about two feet apart. o’clock on Sunday morning during a | In single file the long, dark line like a serpent followed the windings ¢ the trail down the mountain, its progress retarded by the stumbling of indivia- been raging for five days, increasing in | uals over the caches and through the snow drifts.

THE old man who looks out at the world with clear and healthy eyes cannot help feeling great gratification at the thought that his children and his children’s _children have inherited from him no weakness nor tendency to disease. b&8/) The healthy old man is the man who has throughout his life kept his digestion good and his blood pure. Once in a while you find such a man who has nevet taken any medicine. That man has lived a perfectly natural life. Not one in a thousand does do it. Sometimes very slight _indiscretions or carelessness pave the way for serious sickness. The germ theory of disease ig well ~ anthenticated, and germs are every: p where. This need make no difference to the {El’fenll’ healthy man. Germs go through the healthy body without effect. They are hurried along rapidly and thrown off before they have time to develop or increase. Let them once find lodgment or let them find a weak apot, they will develop by the million and the blood will be full of them. Instead of rich, life-giving properties, the blood will be a sluggish, putrid tide of impurity. In. stead of giving strength to the tissues, it will force upon them unwholesome and innutritious matter, and the man will lose flesh. The more flesh hie loses and the weaker he becomes, the more susceptible he is to disease. His trouble will become complicated and serious consequences will follow. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery is the only medicine that absolutely and infallibly cur=s all blood diseases, and almost all diseases are blood diseases. It isn’t a medicine for some one particular so-called disease. It is a medicine for the whole body. 1t forces out all the germs of disease, replaces impurities with rich, red blood, Imfl, the *igsues and makes strong, healthy flesh, I
