A H« III IS Bill I III Ueneral War Can Only Be Averted by Spain Surrendering. JOINT > NOTE FROM POWERS War Feeling Runs High in Madrid — Belief Prevails That the Matter Can not Be Settled Without a Conflict. Washington, April 9.—There is no longer any doubt as to the purpose of this government with respect to the situation in Cuba. War, in the opin ion of the administration, is inevita ble, except in the unlooked for event of the surrender on the part of Spain. The president’s message, which lie had intended to send to congress, has not been changed in any particular what ever, and embodies the unanimous views of the cabinet, without the slightest variance or excerpt. A movement to avert war now must come from Madrid, and must concede Amer ican demands, including an end to Spain’s dominion in Cuba. The features stand out plainly in the developments of today. At noon to day, the six great powers of Europe, through their representatives here, called at the White House and present ed to President McKinley a joint note, expressing urgent hope for a peaceful adjustment between the United States and Spain, to which the president re plied with unmistakable plainness as to the duties and unselfish efforts of this government to terminate the pres- ent situation in Cuba. ' J ! SPANISH Lee PLOT. Hay. Oltlclal. the Maine. Blew Washington, April 14.—Consul-Gen- eral Lee was before the senate commit tee on foreign relations for an hour, late today. He talked fieely with the com- mittee in regard to the conditions in Cuba, and especially witli regard to the destruction of the Maine. He said in his opinion there was no room to doubt that the destruction of the vessel was due to Spanish agencies. “Do you mean the Spanish authori ties in Cuba?” lie was asked by a mem ber of the committee. “I mean the Spanish officials,” he replied, “but not General Blanco. I think some of the officials were cog nizant of the plans to destroy the ves sel, but I do not believe that the cap- tain-general was.” REPORTS OF SB«J_ CHILKOOT l’p CONSULS. Correapuiidene« Sent to Congress With the Message. ' ! j . Thirty-One Killed and Many Injured. LIST OF THE KNOWN DEAD Number of Injured Greater Than Firat Reported—Accident Occurred Be tween The Scale* and Stonehouse. i Port Townsend, April 11.—A letter just received from Skagway, Alaska, dated April 3, says: At about noon to day on the Chilkoot trail, between The Scales and Stonehouse, at least 31 men met death and a large number of others were injured more or less seriously in a snowslide. The dead were crushed under an avalanche of snow and ice which came down from the mountain side upon the left side of the trail about midway between The Scales and Stonehouse. A list of the killed and wounded, as complete as possible at the hour of writing, is as follows: Gus E. Zebarth, Seattle. Frank Sprague, Seattle, Steve Stevenson, Seattle. C. H. Harrison, Seattle. W. L. Kiley, Seattle. E. D. Atwood, New York. C. Beck, Sanford, Fla. L. Weidelein, Kansas City. Mrs. Kyan, Baltimore. John Morgan, Emporia, Kan. F. M. Grimes, Sacramento. Mrs. Anna Moxon, Jefferson countv, Pa. Ras Hepgard, Baker City, Or. —. Atkins Idaho. Tom Geffert, Seattle. E. F. Miller, Vancouver, Wash. Tom Collins, Portland, Or. T. Lamer. The seriously injured so far recovered are: Walter Chappey, New York. John C. Murphy, Dixon, N. D, F. M. Holbrooke, Portland, Or. —. Dahlstrom, residence unknown. Fully 50 people were overtaken by the slide, and are either buried in the enow or scattered along the borders of the avalanche in a more or less injuied condition. The point at which the accident oc curred is some five miles above Sheep Camp. The nearest telephone station is four miles distant. The Scales is some five miles above Sheep Camp. The telephone wires at that point were carried away by the slide. This fact makes it difficult to obtain further par ticulars at this time. A blinding snow storm was raging all day upon the summit, and as a con sequence many of those in the vicnity were making no attempt to travel. Zebarth, Sprague and Stevenson, of Seattle, were traveling together as partners, and were found side by side in bed. Thousands of people were encamped in the vicinity at the time, and were soon on the scene rendering such assist ance as was possilbe. Upon receipt of the news, points below Dyes telephoned up to know if assistance was required, and received answer to the effect that 5,000 people were at work on the debris, and were only in each other’s way. All day Saturday and Sunday a southerly storm, with Chinook wind, rain and snow, prevailed in this vicin ity, and it is believed th» softening of the snow on the mountain side by those agencies was the cause of the avalanche. The quantity of snow and ice that came down in the slide is estimated at thousands of tons. It swept directly across the trail, which, notwithstand ing the fact that the weather was un suitable for travel, was thronged with wayfarers. Tho last vestige of the trail in the vicnitv was wiped out of ex istence, and where it led is now a mountain of snow and ice. Later reports bring the information that 31 bodies have been recovered. There was a preliminary slide at 2 o’clock in the morning. People were digging out their goods when the sec ond elide occurred about noon. The consular correspondence, with regard to the situation in Cuba, which was transmitted to congress, was pre pared in response to resolutions of in- I quiry adopted by both the senate and ! house. The correspondence includes communications up to April 1. It covers the communications of General Lee at Havana, Consul McGarr atCien- fuegos, Consul Brice at Matanzas, Con sul Hyatt at Santiago de Cuba, and Consul Barker at Sagua la Grande. The communications made about 60,000 words. They deal largely with I distress and sufferings which exist in j all the districts, but General Lee re ports fully upon the decrees of the gov ernment with regard to autonomy and other political phases of the situation; in preparing the correspondence for 1 transmission to congress considerable portions of the important communica tions, and especially those marked con Severing Relations With Havana. fidential, are omitted.

The secretary of the treasury has submitted to congress the draft of a bill for the amendment of the law« now in force for the protection of the salmon fisheries of Alaska. The secre tary thinks that the present laws are inadequate to meet the existing re quirements and should be amended. The proposed changes are based on rec ommendations submitted by agents who were appointed to investigate ths state of the fisheries, and are as fol lows: Traps should only be erected under regulations prescribed by the secretary of the treasury. The protection to salmon trout should be withdrawn, as those fish are said to be destructive to salmon spawn and fry. The laws should be extended to ter ritorial waters so as to prevent the erection of obstructions in rivers and streams. No salmon canneries should be erect ed in Alaska without permission from the secretary of the treasury. An annual statement should be made by all canneries ami such establish ments to special agents for salmon fish eries, and employes of the treasury department should be assigned to act aa special agents without extra compensa tion. A tax should be levied upon the out put of all canneries, salteries, fish oil and fertilizer works; and the penalty for violation of the fisheries law should be increased from #1,000 to #5,000.
