BEW KLONDIKE '
MAY BE DISCOVERED
It is Thought to be Only the Beginning
of the Golden Harvest Rich Dis
coveries on Stewart River.
Tacoma, July 28. Important develop
ments today give new and even more
dazzling aspect to the Kloniike situa
tion. Information brought by persona
of unquestioned reliability seem to show
that the world has seen only the Begin
ning of the golden harvest in the frozen
north. A new Klondike has been dis
covered and it is believed that in the
vast territory of Alaska and the British
northweet many more Klcndikes are to
be uncovered by the prospector's pick.
Fully 5000 prospectors and miners are
already tearing np the banks of the
streams, sinking shafts and cross-cutting
with great success.
On Coal creek the deposits of coal will
be of great value in working the dig
Kings, and will expedite work by melt
ing the frozen earth. Edwin F. Lang,
of Haverhill, Mass., one of the returned
miners, says that the coal deposits
found are Ecarceiy less valuable than the
gold mines.
The scene of the greatest excitement
at present is in the Stewart river coon
try. This includes a large territory
drained by Stewart river and many trib
utary streams, among tbe latter being
Clear creek and Coal creek, The de
developments in this region tend to in
dicate that the yield of Dawson City
district may be duplicated, and perhaps
exceeded,,

idence. E. I. He says : "For several
years I have been almost a constant suf
ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at'
tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duty at this
hotel. About two years ago a traveling
salesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of .Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarhoea Bemedy. Much to my sur
prise and delight its effects were imme
diate. Whenever I felt symptoms of tbe
disease I would fortify . myself against
the attack with a few doses of this val
ueabla remedy. The result has been
very satisfactory and almost complete
relief from the affliction." For sale by

NO VESSELS
TURNED AWAY
Shafter Reports Only Three Have Ar
rived at Santiago They Paid
Duty and Landed Their Cargoes
Afterward.
Washington, July 28. Having made
a query in regard to the sbii s being
turned away from Santiago, the war de
partment yesterday made public the
following response from Shafter :
"Santiago, via Hayti, July 26. Adjutant-General,
Washington : Press re
ports not true. ' I only know ot three
ships having arrived, one from Kings
ton, the others from the United States.
The Bratton has sold its cargo; the
other, a ship from New Orleans, has
sold only part. The captain tells me he
is going away tonight. The trouble is
they do not expect to pay any duty, and
arrived here without money. The
Spanish customs as applied to a Spanish
subject only have been collected, and
twenty cents per ton as ordered.
"I discovered this morning an at
tempt on tbe part of the municipality to
collect a tax of 40 cents per 100 kilos, in
this instance amounting to $2500. I
had settled the matter by ordering its
non-collection. There is no money
here to do business, and the merchants
are very timid about making purchases,
fearing the effect of the Bed Cross sup
plies, which really are feeding the town.
The New Orleans man, for instance,
brought 29 head of cattle, which be sold
at $85 per head. The person buying
kills one a dav, selling the meat at 20
cents per pound. Of course only a few
people bny. Tbe nrst week or more
here people were starving to death, and
I think a few now are dying from the
effects of starvation.
Shafter, Major-General."
YELLOW JACK
IS SPREADING
Four Thousand Cases Reported in Sbaf
ter's Army Disease Will Proba

Cubans Returning to Plantations
Chicago, July 27. A special to the
Inter Ocean from Santiago says that
over 4000 mild cases of yellow jack are
reported among the soldiers in General
Shafter's army. Tbe sick are given tbe
best of care and fatalities are very few.
It now seems probable that the disease
has to run its couree through the whole
army, .bverytmng possible is being
done to improve the sanitary conditions
of the city.
The Cubans who were driven into
exile by the Spanish oppression are re
turning by thousands to the plantations
which were desolated by the Spanish
and insurgent troops.
Appeals have beon made to General
Shatter daily by both the Cuban and
Spanish residents of prominence for the
United States to establish a sound gov
ernment over the island in order that
peace and prosperity may once more be
tbe portion of that country.

Robbed the Urtre. -
A startling incident of which Mr. John
Oliver of Philadelphia, wbb the subject
is narrated by him as follows : I was in
a most dreadful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain, continually in back and
sides, uo appetite gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me np. Fortunately, a friend
advised trying 'Electric Bitters,' and to
my great joy and surprise, tbe first bot
tle made a decided improvement I con
tinued their use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. 1 know they Baved
my liie and robbed the grave of another
victim." No one should fail to try them.

DEWEY'S WARSHIPS
AFTER SOME
SPANISH CRAFT
The Raleigh and Concord Sent to Gath
er np Eleven Vessels, Including
Seven . Gunboats, at Various
Points.
New YoBKj July 28. A cablegram
from Hong Kong to the Journal says:
Admiral Dewey, at Manila, has dis
patched the Baleigh and Concord to
gather up eleven Spanish craft," which
according to information sent him by
Coneul-General Williams, are at various
places in tbe Philippines. Among these
vessels are three gunboats at San Mignel,
Luzon island, and four at Port Royal,
Palawar island. Four merchantmen
with cargoes of tobacco are reported at
Cayagan, Luzon.
The same dispatch reports that tbe
English traders at the coal mines at
Batan, Luzon island, have been im
prisoned and subjected to ill treatment
otberwiee by the Spaniards there.
VESSEL NOT A
BLOCKADE-RUNNER
The French Embassy Asks for the Re
lease of the French Prize, the
Olinde Rodriguz.
Washington, July 28. The French
embassy has called the attention of the
state department to the circumstances
connected with the seizure of the French
merchant steamship Olinde Bodriguez,
and has requested the immediate re
leaee ot that steamer. The action was
taken simultaneously with a protest
from the French Transatlantic Steam
ship Company against the seizure. The
etate department has submitted all the
papers in the case to the department of
justice, with a view to getting an opin
ion on the legal questions involved.
Grounds of tbe representations of the
embassy are that the Bodriguez was en
gaged in ordinary mercantile pursuits,
and has also on board the official mail
of the French government, destined to
the French minister at Port au Prince.
It is said that her manifest shows she
was not intending to enter a blockaded
port. '
The representations are those nsualiy
made in behalf of French interests, and
there is no disposition at the state de
partment to regard them ag other than
a friendly inquiry.
TROOPS EMBARKED
LAST NIGHT
The War Dcoartment is in Receipt of
the Information,
Washington, July 28. The war de
partment this morning received a dis
patch from General Brooke, at Newport
News, dated last night, saying he was
aboard a transport and would E'ail for
Porto Rico this morning. Nothing fur
ther has been heard by tbe department
from either Brooke or the commanding
officer at Newport News.
No further news regarding the move
ments of General Miles and his forces in
Porto Bico has reached the war depart
ment. It is thought no important
movements or operations will be under
taken until after the arrival of General
Brooke and his army upon the scene,
when, unless an armistice is meanwhile
declared, the campaign against San
Juan and the entire island will be ac
tively prosecuted. "
THE BOAT RAILWAY.
Bight ot TVajr for The Dalles Improve'
ment Has Been Secured.
It bas been several months since any
thing was mentioned concerning the
boat railway at The Dalles, says the
Oregonlsn. It is learned at tbe war de
partment that tbe right of way has been
about all acquired, and now arrange
ments are in progress between the gov
ernment and the railroad company for
the purpose ot adjusting the differences
existing, so that a complete right of way
can be established. There are many
officials in the war department, how
ever, who believe that a boat railway
will never be built, and that if any im
provement is made at The Dalles it will
have to be by the construction of a canal
and locks. ' Although engineers have
passed upon the feasibility of a boat
railway, there are yet many who doubt
its practicability or success as a perma
nent improvement. A canal and locks
wonld alwavs be a oermanent iinorove-
ment, and would cost much less for
operation than a boat railway,"
