Washington, Jan. 2(1. Within 48 hours, for the first time since tho in surrection broke out in Culm, three years ago, the United Slates govern ment will be represented in the harbor of Havana by n warship. The decision to send the United States battle-ship Maine was finally reached at a special meeting at the White House this morn ing, between the president, Secretary Long, Assistant Secretary Day, Attorney-General McKenua and General Miles, and it is a striking fact that, with tho exception of Secretary Long and the attorney-general, tint a member of tho cabinet knew of the intention to take this radical action. It is denied, however, that some such move bus long been in contemplation, as evidenced in tho following statement of Secretary Day, made this afternoon: "Tho sending of the Maine to Ha vana in cinis simply the resumption of friendly natural relations with Spain. It is customary for naval vessels of friendly nations to puss in mid out of the harbors of other countries with which they aro at peace, and British ami German warships have recently visiteil Havana. This is no new move. Tho president has intended to do it for some time, but beretofoie something has happened to postpone it, "Tlio orders to tlio Maine mean nothing more than I have said, and there is nothing alarming or unfriendly in them. The Spanish minister here is fully informed of what is going on, and, so far as I know, has not made tlio slightest objection to it." Further, Mr. Day said that Consul General Lea had not sent for a warship. This statement shows that the move ment wus made deliberately, and that it could not have been taken if there wore serious apprehensions of its re sults to Havana. The general belief hero, however, is that in -Madrid, rutlier than in any Cuban town, is the trouble to bo looked for, if there should be any misapprehension of the purpose of our government in sending the Maine to Havana. The temper of the opposition newspapers in the Span ish capital has been threatening for some time, unci it may require the strong hand of the news censor to re press utterances that would lead to rioting. Admiral Sicard's orders were not niado public in their text at the navy department, but it wus stated that the substance of them was in the statement made by Secretary Long, ti. .r,i,.ra ! were not directly to the Maine, for the reason that she is now attached to the squadron, and the naval regulations re quire all such orders to go through the superior officer. There is some ques tion whether the telegram reached tho admiral before he sailed with his squadron Irom Key West for Tortugas harbor. The belief is that it did not, but this will make littlo difference in tlio programme, inasmuch as the tele gtam will be sent to "the admiral by one of the torpedo-boats, or .by some other means of conveyance. The de tuils of the Maine's movements are be lioveil to he left to the arrangement of Admiral Sioard, but it iB thought that tho ship, which put to sea with the squadron, will return to Key West be fore going to Havana. The Gorman ships to which Assist "nnt Secretary Day referred in his statement are the Curlotto and the Geyer, both training-ships and not of formidable type, though one sufficed to settle hastily the recent Huytian diffi culty. Their torching at Havana is not believed to have been signilicant,as their cruise was arranged in all details last September, and tho some ships are due at Charleston, S. C, early in February. UNPROFITABLE EXPERIMENT. Bovenlceu Reindeer Killed on mi At lantic Steamer. New York, Jan. 20. Seventeen rein deer were executed by hanging on the voyage from Hamburg on the steamer Glendon, which reached hero after a tempestuous voyage of 14 days. Fif teen others purvived tho trip, but one of them has a broken kneecap, which has beon rudely bound in splints. Tho 15 are all that are left of a herd of 40 reindeer started from a small village in Finland a month ago, destined for a journey of more than 10,000 miles to the Klondike region. Tho reindeer are not a part of Uncle Sara's plan for relieving the miners. They wero purchased by an old Klon diker, who believed there was money in shipping reindeer there to the land of gold as beasts of burden. They were shipped on the Ulendon. it nas no stalls for cattle, and the reindeer were tied to stanchions, Tlio Glendon left Hamburg January 7 in a gale which rolled the ship like a barrel. Two of tho reindeer had their necks dislocated before they vessel htu been out three hours, and the next day three more were killed. The fifth day brought a gale from the west, which Bpeedily produced five more dead rein deer. In tho gale of last Thursday six more were killed and the legs of three of these were fraotured in half a dozen plaoes. Government Will Prosecute. Paris, Jan. 26. The government will prosecute M.

FOOD STORES SEIZED Government Takes Posses sion of Fort Yukon, f MARTIAL LAW IS PROCLAIMED Mob Threatened to Raid the Warehouse When Captain Kay Asserted Ilia Authority. Seattle, Jan. 25. The latest from Alaska is that Captain Ray, United States army, lias taken charge of the stores of the Alaska Commercial Com pany and the North American Trading & Transportation Company, and has proclaimed martial law in Fort Yukon, and placed its COO inhabitants on rations, compelling those who have money to puy for them, and those who have not to work for them. This step was rendered necessary by the small stock of supplies on hand, which, it was feaied, would be exhausted before tho Yukon river opened next spring. After hiking this action, Captain Ray sent a special messenger to Dawson City, with a letter to the commercial companies notifying them that be bad taken possession of their stores. It is slated that tho letter also asked the commercial companies to use their in fluence in securing legislation by con gress giving to the soldiers in Alaska the same civil functions as enjoyed by tho Canadian mounted police. The news of Captain Ray's action reached here this morning on the steamer City of Seattle, which brought 45 persons from Dawson City, and gold dust and drafts estimated at $500,000. Today's arrivals bring advices up to December 21. They contain no other late news of importance. It is almost the universal expression of those arriving today that while there is no immediate need of a relief expe dition, it will be very acceptable late in the spring. All say that an expedi tion cannot be taken in at this season, but that it would be a wise move on the part of the government to have it ut the lakes ready to start when the ice runs out. It will then reach Daw'son in time to relievo distress that now seems probable to occur before boats can ascend the river. It is stated that Captain Ray. will ask the secretary of war for sufficient troops to patrol the Yukon basin this coming season, it is also stated ywsx Major Rucker, who is at Pyea 'and Skagway,' making preliminary arrange ments fur the government relief expe dition, lias reoommonded that troops be stationed at these- two places and along the trails to preserve order., ' ' W. M. Rank, of San Francisco, who arrived here today from Dawson City, which place he left December 1, gives the following particulars of an attempt by a mob at Fort Yukon to seize the warehouses of the Alaska Commercial Company and the North Amerioan Trading & Transportation Company. The particulars were brought t Daw son hy Fred Gosoli, October 28. One hundred and fifty men went to the trading companies and demanded that they be given a year's supplies on oredit. They said that they would pay them with work in the mines irr tho Klondike noxt season. . The com panics refused, after a-consultation with Captain Ray. On the -following day the mob gave notioe that unless its demands were complied with, the ware houses would be seized. Captain Ray, when informed of this, hoisted ' the United States flag over both ware houses, and, placing Lieutenant Rich ardson in command of one, took posses sion of the other, and proclaimed mar tial law. Captain Kay swore in a fores of 35 men to aid him in protecting the property. A peculiar fatality occurred on the City of Seattle on her upward trip. A light fell from a masthead and struck a passenger named George, of Victoria, crushing his skull and killing him in stantly. The commission appointed by the miners at a recent meeting in Dawson to go to Ottawa and ask for a modifica tion of the mining laws, was among the City of Seattle's passengers.

Burned at Spokane, Jan. 20. A fire in which the loss runs up to t400,000 worth of property and at the very least five lives were- lost took place tonight. The Great Eastern block at the corner of Post street and Riverside avenue, six stories in height, and constructed of brick, caught fire about 11:45 P.M., and iu three hours was totally demol ished. All of the upper floors and part of the third floor were used for lodging purposes, and at least 150 people were asleep in the building when the fire started. While most of them escaped with only their night clothes, it is thought a number perished. What makes the horror greater, is that no one knows who is still imprisoned. As the people were removed from the burning structure qr escaped them selves, they sought places of safety. The last out of the upper floors report forms lying in the hall, and women shrieking in the flames. The origin of the fire is sujiposed to have been in the engine-room. The Great Eastern block was built .(n 1890 at a cost of $ 250,000, and was owned by Louis Levinski, of San Fran cisco, who carried but $50,000 insur ance. A thrilling rescue was that of Robert Masson, bis wife and their 2-year-old son Irom tlie fifth floor on the Post street bide.- From a Are escape on the fourth floor seven feet to one side from their window, a fireman threw them a rope, which Masson made fast to the bed, and came down hand over hand, carrying his boy. Mrs. Masson followed. As she hung suspended far above the ground, the huge crowd watched with breathless interest. When she was grasped by the fireman a shout of joy went up. The lives know to be lost are those of Rose Wilson, aged 18, and Rose Smith, an invalid, aged 20, besides Mrs. Davies,,who jumped from a fifth-story window, and died two hours later. Others are supposed to be in the build ing. ANOTHER CUBAN RESOLUTION Urges the Government to Intervene in ,- - Behalf of the Patriots. Washington, Jan. 26. In the' senate today Walthall of Mississippi presented the credentials of H. D.

Boutelle, Republican, of Maine, chairman of the committee on naval affairs, reported back two resolutions calling upon the secretary of the navy as to the suitability of sites for making armor plate in the South, with recom inundation that they lie on the table. The report called attention to the fact that invitations , had been issued for sealed propositions for land, building and machinery for an armor-plate fac tory which would be opened January 29 and the secretary, when these were opened, would send a special report to congress with all information. The resolution was laid on the table with out division. Curtis, Republican, of Iowa, then claimed the day for business from the District of Columbia committee. To Examine the Yukon Delta. Washington, Jan. 26. Professor Pritchett, of the coast and geodetic survey, has practically completed ar rangements for an expedition which will start for Alaska in the spring to make an examination of the delta of the Yukon river for the purpose of locating and marking if possible a deep, water entrance to the river. ; For the carrying out of this work and the exploration of Copper river, con gress has just passed a bill appropriat ing $10,000.

MacConly, who has just returnod from Alaska, has under construction a steel tramway around the Canyon and White Horse rapids. He is "building four tracks, and by the time the river opens, he says he will be able to handle 500 tons daily, taking boats and all. Bulled Alive In si Well. Baraboo, Wis., Jan. 24. The dead body of Albert Miller, who was buried alive at the bottom of a 40-foot well, Wednesday, was recovered today. Miller's resouers worked day and night. The imprisoned man was heard to ask for a drink of water. But just as the life-savers were within a few feet of him, a second cave-in pecurred, and from that time Miller's voioe was hushed. NO PLOT WIS LAID Demonstrations at Havana Were Spontaneous. VOLUNTEERS ARE VINDICATED Newspaper Attacks on Loyal Spaniard! Caused the Outbreaks Troops .-Are Still in Havana. Havana, Jan. 24. Since Saturday the rioterB have been quiet, with the exception of a dynamite bomb exploded in the Plaza de Colon, which did no harm. The rumors that tiie volunteers would revolt against the government have had no foundation. Neverthe less, on Saturday and Sunday several generals arrived here from -Matanzas province and Irom Havana province with additional reinfocrements. About 15,000 men are now located within the city limits and in the outskirts. Certain persons have circulated rumors that the volunteeers would join in the riots, and have still further in creased popular passion by saying that the government -intended to disarm them. It has also been asserted that the volunteers would not have the bal lot, because they are in the pay of the government, which is not a fact, as only buglers and a few others are paid. The rest are merchants and clerks, serving without government pay. Those responsible for circulating these rumors are interested, it is asserted, in breeding trouble between the govern ment and the volunteers, so as to have the latter disarmed, and to be assured of 84,000 men less against the insur gents. Now that the disturbances have quieted down, the greatest part of the troops have returned to their respective stations. Among the government's supporters the riots are explained as spontaneous and wholly without previous arrange ment. They are ascribed to the violent attacks upon not only army officers, but also upon prominent loyal Span iards, like the Marquis of Pinar del Rio, and Madame Eva Canel, the well known newspaper woman. The sol diers on the other hand blame the au thorities for tolerating newspaper at tacks prohibited by law. Though without social standing, the rioters insist upon their patriotism. A DOUBLE MURDER A Drink-Craxed Mechanic Shoots Hit Wife and Motlier-in-Law. New Haven, Conn., Jan. 24. Ed ward Duff, 40 years old, a mechanic, shot and killed his wife and mother-in-law, Mary Maher, at their home here last night, after trying to induce his wife to live with him again.

Then he returned to the house, and, going to the room where his wife's mother was sewing, unconscious of the tragedy, hot her in the neck and shoulders, killing her almost instantly. John Reilly, who was in an adjoin ing room, met Duff coming from tbe sewing-room with a revolver in his hand. He asked him what he had Jone, and received as a reply a shot which grazed his neck. Reilly ran and Duff took to the street. He passed over the body of his dead wife as it lay on the walk. He re loaded his revolver, and, seeing that the crowd was gathering, walke briskly down the street for a block, carrying the .revolver exposed all the time. The news of the murder spread rapidly, and a few minutes later a pa trol wagon with three officers rushed up. Dutf fought like a tiger, but was disarmed and locked up. OHIO RIVER ON A RAMPAGE. Unusually Heavy Rains Cause a Sudden Flood. Louisville, Ky., Jan. 24. Fears are entertained here of a flood. The Ohio is rising steadily. At 6 this morning the danger line was but three feet off, but by noon this distance has been de creased by nearly 11 inches. Much damage was done throughout the state last night by a heavy rain and wind storm. Thomas Cross, a drummer, was drowned while crossing a swollen stream near West Baden, Ind. A Bon of a farmer named Drury, and a negro farm hand, while riding horses across the Cumberland river fora in Jackson county, Tenn., were drowned. The Methodist church near Falmouth, Ky., was unroofed and barns and farmhouses in Girrard, Grayson, Henderson, Union and Hickman counties were damaged.

Arrangements have been made to send a detachment of the government Yukon expedition .from this city on the steamer Signal, which sails for Skagway about Febru ary 5. The detachment will oonsist of two officers, 22 men and 110 pack ani mals. One hundred bob sleds, designed by Jack Dalton, for the use of the ex pedition, arrived here today from the East. Relief for Cubans. Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 24. The National Guard of Missouri will col lect money to aid in relieving suffering in Cuba. Adjutant-General Bell has appointed a committee and issued an appeal to the people for subscriptions. General Milton Moore, of Kansas City, will receive all subscriptions. Spencer, Ind., Jan. 24.

Paris, Jan. 25. Todday, Paris has the appcarace if being in a state of siege, and 4,000 police and soldiers hold the Place de la Concord. In anticipation of the prohibited anti-Dreyfus demonstration today, un der thedireotion of the organizing com mittee appointed by the anti-Dreyfus meeting at the Tivoh Vauxhall last Monday night, stringent measures were taken by the authorities to preserve order. The Place de la Concord and the garden of the Tnilleries were held by detachments of cavalry and infan try and large forces of police. Nothing happened until 2 o'clock this afternoon, the time announced for the meeting to protest against the pro Drefyus agitation in the Salle del Milles section and in the Mont Parnesse quarter. The approaches to the hall were occupied by police and mounted republican guards, while the precau tion was taken of removing all chain from the interior. The police refused admission to known anarchists, but many who were less prominent evaded poi.ce vig iance guinea aomit a ,; n an, created disturbances. M. fliiebaud i i , t . L , was elected to the chair, aud the noise-j ie&t disturbers of the proceedings were : i expelled from the hall. M. Thiebaud proposed that a wreath should be laid on the Strasbourg statue, and the pro posal was greeted with cries of "Vive l'armie" and "Vive la France!" As the disturbance continued, M. Thiebaud got a motion adopted to close the meeting. The wreath was then placed in a carriage, but the police re fused to allow the crowd to follow it in a body, and divided it into small grouss. In the meantime, the anar chists tried in vain to organize a fresh meeting. The wreath was placed on the statue at half past 4 o'clock this afternoon, amid perfect order. Later in the evening the police dis persed large bodies of anti-Jewish dem onstrators in the Rue de la Fayette and at the office of the Auroie, but nothing serious occurred, and there were few arrests during the day. It is agreed on all sides that Satur day's scene in the chamber of deputies was almost without precedent, except the recent disturbances in the Austrian reichsrath. Curiously enough. Count Badeni, the ex-Austrian premier, wit nessed it. He must have felt quite at home. After the chamber was cleared 125 torn-off neckties were picked up, to gether with many ooats that had bec torn by deputies from each other's shoulders. M. Clovis Hughes, one of the deputies for the department ot the Seine, had a door slammed on his fin gers, which were so mutilated that he is now in the hands of a sur geon. The scene of fighting around the tri bune was unparalleled. A CHICAGO WELCOME. President Dole and Tarty Arrive in the the Windy City. Chicago, Jan. 25. President and Mrs. Sanford B.

The steam ship City of Columbia, en route from New York to Alaska with a party of goldhunters, bound for the Klondike, has arrived here without incident TELLER'S Senate by a Decisive Vote Decides to Consider It. , t VEST WILL PRESS TO FINAL VOTE Exciting Dispute In the House Between Speaker Reed and Repre sentative Bailey. Washington, Jan. 22. By the de cisive vote of 41 to 25, the senate today decided to proceed at once with. the consideration of the resolution intro duced a few days ago by Teller, provid ing for the payment of bondB of the United States in silver, at the option of the government. The resolution provides: , "That all the bonds of the United States issued or authorized to be issued under the said acts of congress herein before recited, are payable, principal and interest, at the option of the gov ernment of the United States, in silver doUa f he coin ,e o the United !... 1 . , . ,a . ,!. .,i. ri ii il DlHiea, uuu lairing v... v. standard silver; and that to restore to its tender in payment of said bouds, principal and interest, is not in viola tion of the public faith nor in deroga tion of the rights of the public crech itor." Vest, the member of the finance committee who had charge of the reso lution, spoke briefly upon it, but dis claimed any desire at this time to thresh over the old straw of financial discussion. He believed, however, that the time was ripe for a reitera tion, with emphasis, of the declara tions of the Stanley Matthews' resolu tion, which had been placed on the statute books 20 years ago, particularly in view of recent statements of the secretary of the treasury, in which.tlfe present president, who had, as a nieirV ber of the house, voted for the original resolution, evidently concurred. ;Vest announced his intention to secure. ra final vote upon the resolution as s'otm as one could be reached, and accentu ated his intention by forcing the dis placement of the census bill with the Teller resolution as unfinished business. Speaker Reed, from the rostrum .of the house, and Bailey, leader of the Democrats, from his place on the floor, glared at each other at the elose pi the Cuban debate today, and joined, in an issue of veracity. This sensational episode completely overshadoweif''tn'e interest in the Cuban question, which has continued, interruptedly, in the house for three days, during the con sideration of the diplomatic and cdn-y-sular appropriation bill. Yesterday, ' notice was given by Williams that at the conclusion of the debate today, a motion would be made to recommit the bill with instructions. Today, when the motion was made by Bailey, it was ruled out of order by the speaker. Bailey thereupon startled the house' by affirming that he had a private under standing with the speaker by which, a vote should be taken directly on the motion to recommit.
