BOUNDARY DIS
PUTE IS WORSE
Great Britain Cannot Proceed With the
Negotiations in the Face of Such a
Predicament, and Officials Cannot
Place the Blame at Her Door Re
port Positively Contradicted.
New York, June 19. A special to the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton eays: Canada has served notice on
England that she must choose between
.the Uqited States and the North Ameri
can Dominion in the settlement of the
Alaskan boundary question. It is stated
on the higheet authority that this state
ment represents accurately the condi
tions submitted to England, which has
delayed the negotiations between Am
bassador Choate and Lord Salisbury in
the provisional line of the modus vivendi.
The position to Canada is known here
officially. The official to whom it is
known feels authorized in saying that
there are only two ways out of the dif
ficulty; first, that Canada will volun
tarily recede from her demand lor a Pa
cific tidewater port', or, second, that the
United States shall surrender the prin
ciple laid down by Secretary Hay, in his
tentative boundary line, that Americans
will not grant temporarily or otherwise
any port facilities to the Canadians.
That Canada will yield is considered by
the state department officials, who have
discussed the new and acute pbaees of
the situation, as improbable.
. It is asserted on authority that Eng
land has been forced to yield to Canada
and that the United States and England
are wider apart today in the controversy
than since the adjournment of the high
joint commission.
In the light of the present news, the
conflict, which the provisional boundary
line was intended to prevent, may be
precipitated at any moment, and with
greater show of probabitity when it be
comes known that England has decided
to etani irrevocably behind Canada.
; i
England Denies It.
London, June 1. The officials of the
.colonial office today were shown the dis
patch from Washington saying that Can
ada had served notice on Great Britain
that she const choose between United
States and her North American domin
ion in the settlement of the Alaska
boundary dispute. They declared the
story false, both in substance and fact,
and that it can be further reaffirmed that
a modus vivendi was reached early , last
week, as cabled to the Associated Press
at that time.
The arrangement is a verbal one and
denls with the question on broad lines.
One or two minor details are st'll under
diecuss.Ion, and when they are settled a
final arrangement' will be entered into.
It may be further said that the boundary
agreed upon follows the summits of
Wtite and Cbilkoot passes.
Wedded After Fifty Years.
Kossland, B. C, June 19. A romantic
marriate toon place here recently. Fully
half a century ago George, Kachle and
Bertha Weidel went to school together,
and subsequently became engaged. Cir
cumstances separated them, however,
and in the course of lime each of them
married. For twenty-five years the two
never met, and eventually one lost a
much-loved husband while the other
mourned the lose of a devoted wife. Each
learned by soiue means of the lonely con
dition of the other. They met again, and
the early affection which had so long lain
dormant in their brea&tp sprang into life
with unabated vigor. The rest followed
as a matter of course. The pair came

CANNIBALISM
IN ALASKA
Three Eastern Men Get Lost and One Is
Eaten.
" Cxbcxb Crrr, Alaska, May 29. Via
San Francieco, June 19. A story of pos
sible cannibalism ' and death on the
Yukon trail has just reached here. Three
men who left Dabl river on December 5,
for Jimtown, were not beard of again and
they were supposed to have been lost.
Nothing was heard of them here till the
steamer Rideout, which arrived today,
brought a terrible tale of suffering and
horror. -
The men were Michael Daly, Victor
Edair and M. Provost. They, were from
Providence, R. I., Woonsocket, R. I.,
and Brockton, Mass., respectively. Tbey
were discovered seventeen miles from
the mouth of Old Man creek, they hav
ing lost the trail and become bewildered.
Having left Dabl river with only three
weeks' food, but which was amply suffi
cient for the 150 miles to Jimtown, the
poor fellows were soon reduced to starva
tion. .
Daly's body was found, partly eaten,
in a tent, and on the stove just as it was
left when death overtook the others were
found some scraps of moose hide and
moccasins of which they were endeavor
ing to make a stew.
Daly's body was identified by the
clothes. The other two men were found
dead five miles away from the tent. The
fact of the tent flaps being shut down
when found would preclude trje possibil
ity of Daly's body having been eaten by
animals. The other men doubtless were
driven by hunger to the awful extrem
ity .of cannibalism. Four bundred
dollars were found on the bodies.
Deafness Cannot be Cnrec. -
by local - applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian-Tube.
When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the .inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine cass out of tea are caused
by catarrh ,: which is " nothing but an in
flamed condition Sof the mucous sur
faces. . . ' ' !.;. '.
We "will give One Hundred Dollars for

Manila, June 19. A batallion of the
Fourth infantry, which left -Imus with
General Wheaton - in -command this
morning to reconnoiter toward Pedas
Desuiarin, was attacked in the rear by
apparently friendly natives. v This
brought on a sharp engagement lasting
several hours and five Americans being
killed and. twenty-five wounded. The
loss of the rebels was very heavy.
The batallion soon exhausted its am
munition and Wheaton and his staff
with two mountain guns and one field
piece went to reinforce the troopB which
were attacked. General Wheaton was
firet on in the road and bad a narrow
escape. ' , ,
The third battalion was ordered to the
front and formed on tbe Las Minas road.
Heavy, firing on both sides followed,
artillery being freely used. Tbe enemy
was located in the woods at ; 4 o'clock,
showing signs of retiring as the rebels
were pressed very hard. One gun of
the-Sixth artillery did great execution.
The fighting was still in progress at 5
o'clock, at Which time the Americans
had securer a quantity of Filipino arms
which had been abandoned in the woods.
The scene of the fighting is 20 miles
from Manila.
