John Mason, an old Californian, whom
Fleming formerly knew in Colorado.
Mason waa drowned in the Nelson river.
A Bulgarian named n alley waa acci
dentally thot and killed by a French
man at Hell Gate, on the Lwer Liard
river. Three other of the party died
at Dealt lake of aonrvy. Fleming

Captain Mason wai drowned about
August 4, while trying to take torn

bridged itreama and (wamps for 600
miles. In the latter pait of October
they lost tbeir outfit, while floating
down Liard fiver in a boat. Tbey pro

wrecked. For 86 hours they stood in
the snow on tbe bank of the river, un
able to go either way on account ol
high banks. The thermometer stood

companions procured a horse tor him,
and with great difficulty he rode 90

THE BOUNDARY TROUBLE.
oanlad Poller. It Ia Bald, Will Ba
Baal to tho Poreapine Kcgloa.
Chicago, July 13. A apecial to tho
Tribune from Washington taya: An
intimation haa been received by the
atate department tbat tbe Canadian
government will send a force of mount
ed police to the Porcupine region, in
British Colombia. If tbia ia done, the
United State government will respond
by sending troop to Pyramid harbor to
protect tbe Interests of the American
citizens.
The situation ia extremely grave,
and will call for delicate work on the
part of both governments to preserve
peace. The Porcupine region is part
ot tbe territory now in dispute, which
would be neutral ground if a modna
vivendi were agreed upon. Thia ia tbe
point where a clash came near being
precipitated aome time ago between
American and Canadian miners. At
tbat time tbia government ordered
troops to Pyramid harbor to preserve
peace. Tbe action camo to tbe notice
ot the British embassy here, and it was
brought to the attention of the Salis
bury government, whioh entered a pro
test, and requested tbat tbe orders be
canceled. This was done, and the
Canadian government agreed to with'
draw its mounted police. Both gov
ernments have lived up to their agree
ments, and aince that time neither
American troop nor Canadian mount
ed police have been in the Porcupine
region.

Tains Cotton Crop.
Austin, Tex., July 13. The cotton
exchange in this city completed today
the woik of carefully tabulating the
losses in the cotton crop, attendant
upon the Braxoa river flood. They find
that the loss in the Brazos bottom will
be 200,000 bales of cotton, represent
ing $5,000,000 lost. They also find
that tbe heavy raina which produced
the floods and ruined the crops in the
bottom have benefited ootton-growing
on the upper lands proportionately, so
that by far the best croo harvested in
years will be produced from the high
lauds thia season, and they predict that
the floods will have little effect on the
cotton yield of Texas.

DETEBMISEQUESTIOS BY BALLOT

O.n.ral Brook. Thlak. Nab
New York, July 13. According to a
eoireapondent of tlie World at Waah
ington, Prealdent McJCinley ia work
ling energetically upon a plan to aub
mit the question of tbe independence
or annexation of the ialand to tlia peo
ple of Cuba, lie believe that they
would vote for annexation. Be port
from Governor-General Brooke indicate
a contrary view-, but the president haa
received confidential lettera from influ
ential representative of commercial
interests and from other sou roe in and
about Havana which have covinoed him
tbat General Brooke la mietakeu, and
tbat the people in lite weatern portioq
of the island, aa well aa thoae in tha
eastern portion, would gladly vete for
a territoiial government under tha
great republic.
Theae confidential report reveal a
good .deal more diacord among tha
American provincial rulera than la
usually believed to exiat. The policy
applied to ttie government of the prov
ince in the western end ot tbe ialand
Pinar del Rio, Havana and Matanxa
which are directly under tbe aupei
viaion of General Brooke, ia for in
stance radically different from tbat In
augurated by General Leonard Wood,
military commander of Santiago.
The government of Santiago ia looked
upon by (he president a more desira
ble than that in the western provinoe.
General Wood, while here recently,
made a report to tbe prealdent, who in
dorsed bi policy and urged it oontin
uanoe. General Wood, it ia learned,
made many suggestions, which will be
published for tbe guidance of the com
manders of other Cuban province.
The preaident inquired particularly
aa to tbe extent of tbe tentiment foa
and againat annexation.
"I am firmly convinced," aaid Gen
eral Wood, "that annexation would ba
carried by four to one in Santiago.
The people of that province, and I be
leve tbe majority of the other prov
inces, do not want independence.
They have realized many benefits from
tbe temporary governiiitnt we hav
given them, and are anxioua to leourt
these benefits permanently.
"Americans who have established
themselves in Santiago and endeavoied
to extend their operation to other
province tell me that they have been
repulsed by the American commander,
and that English enterprises bav been
given tbe preference."
Complaints of the unwarranted con
sideration shown European enterprise
in Havana and other weatern province,
to tbe detriment of American interest,
have reached the preaident from many
sources, and it ia not improbable that
a change in the administration of tha
Cuban government- will soon be made.
It ia stated upon very high authority
that the president desires General
Brooke' attendance in Washington in
the capacity ol confidential adviser and
is contemplating tbe substitution in
his place of General Wood aa governor
general, -.
So strong is tbe president's tendency
toward annexation that it ia expected
an effort will be made in congress at
the coming aession to rescind the reso
lution providing for Cuban indepen
dence and to substitute apian by which
the matter may be sumbitted to vota
of the people of the island.

Havana, July 13. The ' influx Into
Bayamo, province of Santiago de Cuba,
in anticipation of payment for the ur
render ot .their arms, continues, and
the merchants of that plaoe have at
tempted to profit "by thia situation.
They raised the prices beyond teaaon,
upon which point ; the mayor argued
with them, pointing out the injustice
of their attitude. The merchants,
however, refused to modify tbeir
prices, and tlie mayor, thereloie, issued
an order regulating prioea and provid
ing a heavy fine for violation ot the or
dinance. Food iff aiow cheaper. The
price of . liquor ia high. There ara
about 8,000 men in and about the oitys
but there have been no disturbance.
All those who bad' aim in tbeir pos
session have delivered them to th
mayor and obtained receipts, so aa to
enable them to obtain payment when
