DAWSON, Oct. 1.—The unexpected has happened this year indeed. The Yukon has not seen such an open sea- | son for decade. Ten days ago a light fall of snow covered the ground and everybody conceded that winter had come. ay, and w. The snow passed away another week of perfect Indian sum- mer has succeeded Frequently | heavy frosts and a thin glaze of ice| that forms in the pools during the night ‘ | ! are the only evidences that summer has passed, for the vast old Yukon flows as tranquilly as though it never felt the grip of winter, the air is balmy and the sun shines brizhtly in a clear | sky every day So near its close one | cannot but smile at the dark proph- ecies with which many of the so-called old-timers worked their names into | print early in the season. There was to | be no water in the river sufficient to carry & boat to Dawson, because there had been such slight fall of snow the preceding ter. The fact was there had been quite the usual fall of snow, and there has been all the season a | most unusual flow of water. There has been no day since the river cleared of fce that a boat drawing five feet of water could not navigate the river with perfect freedom. That so many found great difficulty in getting up was chargeable to the incompetency of those in charge. Never perhaps in all the history of business enterprise has | s0 much capital been placed in the care of Inexperienced, untrustworthy and | incompetent hands. In order to save a few dollars on the salary of a steam- | boat captain or perhaps to find a place | for some poor weakling who could not | find one for himself positions of the | highest responsibility, requiring expe- rience and executive force, were be- stowed where these qualities were con- spicuously absent. But for the unusu- ally favorable conditions, the uniformly high water and the great length of the season, the record of last year with re- gard to the number of persons winter- bound on the river at a distance from their destination would have been far outdone this year. As it is there will, no doubt, be many who .will fail to reach Dawson. Of the boats arriving this week, the Boston and Alaska Com- pany’s Governor Pingree and Philip B. Low, having in tow the barge New York, are probably the most derelict of all the great fleet that attempted the ascent of the river this year. The boats started from Puget Sound on the 1ith of June in tow of the same company’s ocean steamers, the Laurada and -“he | Brixhai.., and did not arrive here until | the 25th of September. The passengers, besides having to practically work their | way up the river chopping and loading | the wood for the furnaces and shifting and reshifting and loading and unload- ing freight, as the almost daily encoun- ters with sandbars made Dnecessary, were almost starved. The boats were carrying several hun- dred tons of supplies for the Canadian military post of Fort Selkirk. Arrived at Rampart City, the Canadian officers who accompanied the outfit, becoming anxious, offered to take charge of the boats and get them through, and the officers of the boats, beginning to feel their incompetency, accepted the offer. Two men were sent forward to Daw- gon by a boat of another company and the steamer Seattle was secured at a cost of $30,000 to go down and bring up the barge Michigan, which had been in tow of the Pingree, but which was left at Port Yukon. With the single tow, the New York, the Low and Pin- gree struggled through the eighty miles of flats, consuming ten days in so do-| ing, and thence to Dawson. Here the officers of the Canadian Government, | on the grounds that the company had broken its contract in failing to deliver | the military supplies in July, took pos- session of the boats, paid off the ¢ ployes and assumed entire charge of the property. Nearly every passenger on board had some claim against the company, as there was scarcely a sin- gle instance where they received the freight or baggage that they had in- trusted to the company’s care. They had intended to bring some action for recovery against the company, but this action of the Government presented a complication that was difficult to meet. The passengers, as well as ship- pers’ freight, had been broken into and plundered. Some of the passengers could not find a single package of their freight. Immediately upon arrival Captain Blakeley of the barge New York was arrested on a charge of| brogching cargo. He is still in jail | He Is thought to have made away with a quantity of whisky, the property of Donahoe & Co. Colonel McCook, United States Consul, is of the opinion that the Canadian Government has overstepped its limitation in arbitrarily seizing the boats for broken contracts, and that it may be compelled to pay damages. The recourse of the Gov- ernment, he says, was a suit for dam- ages, and nothing more. The Boston and Alaska Company is in the hands of a receiver, and it is understood that it will change its name for a con!enx-‘ plated campaign next spring, in order to avoid as much as possible conse- quences of its bad management. Captain Worth has been arrested at Circle City on a charge of embezzling some $18,000 claimed to be due Carpen- ter and the other owners of the May ‘West, of which Captain Worth was master and part owner. Captain Worth superintended the building of the little steamer at St. Michael last fall. With her he was frozen in at a point about ninety miles below Minook. He passed a very bad winter with his unhappy passengers. He arrived early in the spring and, althoush he had plenty of troubl- in squarin~ accounts with passengers, many of whose out- fits had been consumed during the long winter, although his contract reduired him to feed them unti! he landed them at Dawson, he finally effected b‘S re- lease and carrfed a boatload of pas- sengers down the rive at good figures —the first run of Klondikers for the outside after the beginning of the clean-up. It was for appropriating this passage money that he was ar- rested. Captain Worth sets his ser- | and brings $1 50 and pipe is not large and the prices ment that characterized it at this sea- son last year. Sixty-three boats have reached here from below during the season. Very many of the big boats brought barges — one of them the Louise Captain Dixon, bringing two barges with 1000 tons. Not less than 5000 boats have come down the river, including flat boats and barges, and their average would be at least two tons each. There are about 25,000 people who will win- ter in,the city or vicinity and there will be plenty of provisions at rates quite reasonable, as compared with those of last year. Flour, for instance, is $8 a sack, beans 15 cents a pound, bacon 50 cents a vound. These are the staple of staples. Canned meats are 76 cents per two-pound cans. Fresh meat, of which there is just now plenty, averages $1 a pound. Sugar is 30 cents, coffee 75 cents and milk and cream 50 cents and $1 per can. Butter is scarce a pound.” Window hard to get as it was 2 is readily paid for a | s pan Brooms are also not tol > had, although there is considerable and.

Generally speaking, there is an abundance of everything needful and very'many of the luxuries of the outer world. Luxuries, of course, such as candy and silk dresses and electric lights come proportionately high. There has been during all the sums- mer and there s still a great deal of sickness in and about the city, al- though not nearly so much as has been made to appear by alarmists. Reports have been continually circulated here and have doubtless reached the outside to the effect that funerals take place nearly every hour of the day, and that the superintendents of hospitals falsify their statements as to the number of deaths. A late report was industrious- ly repeated to the effect that smallpox aging here, but that the cases ing concealed. I have made a of the doctors in the city, the hospitals and the undertakers and have counted the mounds in the graveyard. There is or has been no case of small- | pox in the city. Typhoid fever has been prevalent during the summer and Almost every individual has suffered more or less from dysentery, which has in many cases proved fatal. This is | chiefly caused by the water, the com- plaint being accompanied in almost all cases by symptoms of arsenical poi- soning. Scurvy also still has its vie- tims. Withal, however, the death rate has at no time exceeded an average of one a day. The population here, it is learned from actual census taking, has ranged from 20,000 to 30,000, There are ngw in St. Mary’s Hospital 135 patients, | in’ the Good Samaritan 35 and in pri- vate hospitals 20. The sick, however, are to be found in tents and cabins everywhere throughout the town and the entire mining region, many in wretched discomfort. It is easier to lose one’s health in this country than to find the fortune they are all seeking. The dead or disabled are to be seen every day being carried on stretchers through the streets or over the rough trails from the mines to the hospitals or burial grounds of the city. For all| this, however, the death rate in propor- | tion to the population is not excessive. Since my last report of the deaths In; the city the following have died: | Bishop of New Brunswick, Frank Miller of Aberdeen, Wash.; Mrs. Waddell, for- merly of 135 P street, San Fran- cisco, all at the Good Samaritan Hos- | pital; B.

CAPTAIN CARTER TO BE SEVERELY PUNISHED Dishonorable Discharge, Five Years’ Imprisonment or a Fine of $5000 His Sentence. NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—The Herald’s ‘Washington correspondent says: Dis- honorable discharge from the army, fite years in the penitentiary, or in lieu of imprisonment to pay a fine of $5000. ‘While President McKinley's formal de- cision has not been rendered in the court-martial case of Captain O. M. Carter I have it on reliable authority that this is the punishment the Presi- dent contemplates imposing upon this officer as the result of his court-martial on charges of conspiring to defraud the United States Government. The verdict of the court-martial was somewhat dif- ferent from this. The court-martial found him guilty of most of the charges preferred against him and sentenced him to_be dismissed from the service of the United States army, to beMcon- fined in the penitentiary for a period of not less than five years and to pay a fine of $5000 for his offense, the findings and sentence to be publicly placarded at his place of residence, in accordance ‘Wwith the 100th article of war. —————— Voters who want an honest adminis- vices against the claim and declares he dces not owe the company one cent.

CUBANS GROW DISHEARTENED STARVATION CONTINUES WITH NO PROSPECT OF SUCCOR. Disgraceful Sequel of the Attack by Yellow Fever of Two Clerks in the Quartermaster’s De- partment. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call HAVANA, Nov. 6—J. B. Caldwell and F. T. Stewart, attached to the quartermaster’s department, have been stricken with yellow fever. They had been occupying apartments at the Ho- tel Pasaje, adjoining those of Colonel Williams, the chief quartermaster, who is also suffering from the disease. Both men were removed this afternoon, un- der the order of Dr. Laine, to El Ve- dado fever hospital. In the opinion of Dr. Laine and other physicians the Ho- tel Pasaje is infected and there will probably be a stampede among the American guests when the fact becomes known. Following the usual petty jealousies existing between the Commissioners, to which the medical corps furnishes no exception, the doctor who attended Caldwell and Stewart gave no notice ot their iliness to the United States Com- missioners at El Vedado. Colonel Wil- liams being ill, and nobody apparently being authorized to assume authority in his place, Stewart, who is a clerk in the quartermaster’s department, lacked certain attentions that only money could buy. Instead of the United States Commissioners being informed an at- tempt was made to collect private sub- scriptions to provide nurses and medi- cine. - Caldwell and Stewart have been ill for several days, but not until this morning was the fact brought to the attention of the ‘American Commission- | ers, who immediately ordered Dr. Laine to see the patientg and to care for them at the expense of the Commissioners. As a result of his examination the re- moval orders were promptly issued, Dr. Laine considering it his first duty to care for the health of the large num- ber of Americans living at the Hotel Pasaje. Admiral Sampson and Generals Wade and Butler, the United States Evacua- tion Commissioners, are highly incensed | at the action of those who originated the private subscription for a Govern- ment official. The international agreement as to the time between Spain’s loss of sovereignty in Cuba and the assumption of full military control by the United States seems indefinitely prolonged, with no immediate hope of relief to a country which daily grows poorer and more de- populated. On all sides the question is asked, “How much nearer is the final solution of the problem than it was on the day the protocol was signed?” The feeling among the better classes of intelligent and influential Cubans may be prétty accurately summed up in the following observations made by a representative Cuban merchant of Havana: “It seems to me, and I think my views are shared by many, that the United States Government is dilly- dallying too long with Spain over this evacuacion question. Of course the problem is a difficult one, but the delay is surely unnecessary. The United States has sent here an assortment of commissions, each more self-important and mysterious than its predecessor, and each veiling its operations with a cloud of secrecy, which, so far as my American experience goes, really serves the purpose of obscuring issues and concealing very small achlevements. Almost nothing has been accomplished. The spirit of jealousy fills not only the individual members of all the commis- sions, but also exists between the differ- ent commissions collectively. These ri- valries seem to engross the attention of the commissioners much more than the serious questions affecting the wel- fare of Cuba and the dignity and good faith of the United States. “First we were told that the date of occupation by the United States troops would be November 1. Then December 1 was fixed upon and later we were in- formed that the date for occupation would be left indefinite. So far as evacuation is concerned January 1 was named as an ultimatum, but how it is rumored that February 1 has been agreed upon. The people are losing faith and confidence in the lack of for- mality displayed by the American rep- resentatives. To all questions asking information on these points the Amer- ican Commissloners, with a superior smile and an assumption of gravity to cover their jgnorance, reply vaguely and unsatisfactorily. “Unless the Washington Government forces its lethargic commission to greater activity Cuba will be an im- mense graveyard and its flelds barren before the United States takes posses- sion. The daily records of mortality show that the populationi in all parts of the island is dwindling steadily. En- tire villages are dying of starvation. On all sides the Spaniards continue robbing and plundering. In the mean- time these sage, gossiping commission- ers from the United States sit sipping cool drinks by day and seeking shelter by night with mortal dread of fever, yet absolutely impervious to the de- mands of humanity. “The situation created by this un- certainty is still more aggravated by the fact that no one dares to sow crops or cultivate the lands until the present conditions show some rays of light. There is no -work for idle hands. Day by day the number of beggars, thieves and other forms of vice increase, while the number of those able to relieve dis- tress shrinks in the same proportion. Thus far the United States Qas sent in the name of humanity a mere pittance of a million rations and the Red Cro! Society has sent two cargoes of sup- plies, as to the distribution and dis- posal of which there have been many unfavorable comments. How far can such rellef be expected to go? ‘“The present conditions cannot be much longer protracted without sub- Jecting the United States to well-de- served criticism. More than that the elements most in sympathy with the United States are slowly but surely falling off and joining the ranks of the opposition. As you are aware, Senor de Castro, the Civil Governor, only yes- terday issued orders for the arrest of 263 criminals recently released from jail and the penal colonies at Ceuta and on the Isle of Pines. This was rendered necessary by the alarming increase of burglarfes and highway robberies. ‘While the blockade was on the city was ruled with an iron hand and cases of asssault and robbery were almost un- known. To-day, with the release of criminals and the increase of poverty, the list of murders and hold-ups is a very grave affair. “In addition to the already numerous paupers and unemployed driven to beg from sheer naceul » there are many | even with the “Saxon rabble.” | try is governed by rum and ignor- reaches into the thousands. Boys and girls of genteel extraction have been thrown on the streets to beg, live the lives of beggars or thieves or to be brought up In jails or houses of ili fame. Do the pedple of the United States realize theso things? Does the Government of the United States, morally responsible be- fore the world for the future of Cuba, intend to tolerate indefinitely a delay which by a day makes these bad con- ditions worse?”" General Luque, Spanish Military Governor of the Holguin division, on leaving Gibara for Spain, wrote, it is understood, to Captain General Blanco to the effect that Gibara, prior to the American occupation had been govern- ed in ordinary fashion by the Cubans, who had named municipal officials whose sober direction of affair com- manded the respect of the Spanish. But when the Americans entered the town Colonel Rav according to the re- port of General Luque's letter tore the Cuban flag from all the public build- ings, trampled on it, freely insulted the Cubans and allowed his men to indulge in drunken carousals. When the Span- ish troops were embarking, wrote Gen- eral Luque, some 4000 Cubans lined the road along which the evacuating Spaniards, with Luque at their head. marched to the wharf. The Spaniards raised the cheer, “Viva Espana.” which ‘was lustily answered by the Cubans as a direct affront to the Americans, after which the Cubans retired o a place called Bujari, near Gibara, where they fortified themselves, “defying American authority.” - This is generally reported as the tenor of Luque’s note. Alfred Bettancourt, a British subject. born in Jamaica, was assaulted last Tuesday by a Spanish officer, who struck him on the side of the head for ‘wearing a gold scarfpin in the shape of a five-pointed star. The officer ordered Bettancourt under arrest and sent him before General Arrolas, Military Gov- ernor of Havana, who ordered him im- prisoned. Mr. Jerome, British Vice Consul, on bein~ notified of the assault. presented himself at the Captain Gen- eral's palace to protest against an act of brutality and to demand the instant release of Bettancourt. General Blanco at first attempted to put Mr. Jerome off, then said it would be an extremely difficult matter to re- lease the prisoner, as he had not been arrested by the Orden Publico, but by an army officer, and had been sent to Jjail by the Military Governor. But Mr. Jerome maintained a firm attitude, in- sisting that he would remain at the palace until Bettancourt was released. Finally, after an interchange of mes- sages between General Blanco and Gen- eral Arolas, Mr. Jerome all the while | refusing to budge from the palace, Bet- tancourt was released at a late hour. These are the bare facts of an assault, | which, under other conditions, might pass with slight notice, but which is significant coming on the heels of a threat made by General Arolas to get even with Englishmen in Havana be- cause of a protest recently made by Mr. MacLean, manager of the Marjno Railway, owned by an English com- pany, against the use to which the rail- way stations have been put by Spanish soldiers stationed to guard them on Sundays and holidays. The conduct of the soldiers was grossly Indecent and excited the indignation of everybody | living in the vicinity of the stations. ‘When Mr. MacLean lodged his com- plaint General Arolas, who is extremely hostile to the English, as well as to the Americans, declared that he would gst El Diario de la Marina publishes a fierce editorial attack on the United States, declaring that “the whole coun- ance.” It imputes to the American Government “‘a breach of faith contrary to the usages of all civilized countries in sending war vessels to Porto Rico after the protocol was signed and oc- cupying the Philippines before the con- ference at Paris has terminated.” MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN NEWFOUNDLAND Sir Herbert Murray, the Governor, Compels a Cabinet Member to Resign. ST. JOHNS, N. F., Nov. 6.—There is a serfous Cabinet crisis in Newfoundland. Sir Herbert Murray, the Governor, de- mands the resi~nation of M. Morine, Min- ister of Finance. The ostensible reason is that M. Morine is the general counsel of Mr. Reid, the railway contractor, but the real cause is the continued friction between Governor Murray and the Minis- ter. M. Morine, in tendering his resignation, oints out that Sir Willlam Whiteay, the ormer Premier, and Messrs. Emerson and Morris, members of the late Cabinet, held a similar relation to the contractor and that Sir Herbert' Murray acquiesced in the arrangement in all three cases. He reminds the Governor also i.at he has been aware ever since April last of his (Morine's) relation to Mr. Reid, and in- sists that the Governor's omission to in- terfere before stamps his action now as personal and vindictive. It is feared that complications will arise, wrecking the Cabinet and seriously preju- dicing the negotiations regarding the French treaty shore already under way before the conference of the settlement of the disputes between the United States and Canada. 4 CASH DONATION TO THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY Marquise de Merinville and Her Sis- ter to Establish a Faculty Fellowship. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—The Catholic University of America. through its rec- tor, the Right Rev. Thomas J. Conaty, D.D., was the recipient on Saturday of a gift of $10,000 for the establishment of a fellowship in the faculty of divinity. The donors are Mary Gwendoline Byrd Cald- well, Marquise de Merinville and her sis- ter, Mary Elizabeth Breckenridge Cald- well and Baroness von Zedtwitz. The Baroness von Zedtwitz, who is in Paris, cabled to her sister In Washington her de- sire to unite with her in the establishment of this fellowship, which is in perpetual memorial of their deceased parents and is independent of the scholarship founded a few 'days before by the Marquise de Merinville.
