during the recess of congress, except
In case of emergency. Despite tlio
announcement of this fact, the num
ber of visitors at the White Ilonse Is
unusually large.
A response lias been received to a
rccentlcttcr from Secretary Gage to
the commissioner of customs, request
ing Information as to the bonding of
miners' outfits through Canadian ter
ritory, en route from Juneau by way
of Chilcoot pass and the Yukon river.
The commissioner bays that the fol
lowing regulations have been prepared
to meet the case: Imported goods, as
above described, shall be reported to
the Canadian custom house. Taglsh,
and may be entered for exportation
there in the usual form "in transit,"
in duplicate. Goods may then be
delivered without payment of duty,
to be carried to their destination out
of Canada by any transportation
company which has a duly executed
bond In the form prescribed by the
ministers of customs for due and faith
ful delivery of all packages carried by
such company and for general compli
ance with the customs laws and reg
ulations governlug such traffic.

pany each shipment of goods conveyed
by bonded carriers, so that the same
may be returned to the cusoras house
at Fort Cudahay, with tho certificates
thereon as to the landing of goods in
the United States, or their having
passed outward from Canada, within
six months from the date of entry. If
goods, when entered in transit for ex
portation, are not delived to be for
warded by bonded carriers.as provided
In the last proceeding section, the
duty thereon is to be deposited vyltli
the customs officer at Lake Tngfsh;
subject to refund of the same at'tbc
port of Fort Cudahay, when goods
pass outward thereat, or upon the cer
tificate ofun olllcer of the United
States or of the Canadian customs
that said goods have been .landed in

from date of entry. The duty depos
ited on such is to be endorsed on the

are to be passed free, without entry.
Commissioner MoDougall, In a letter
accompanying tlicr.o regulations, says
that they are framed with a desire to
afford the Utmost facilities for the
traffic In question, compatible with
security to revenue. lie further says:
"Responsible transportation com
panies will be soon in operation for
the conveyance of goods over Chil
coot and other passes and down the
Yukon river and its trlbutsrles, in
which case the United States goods
must go forward into Alaska without
payment of duties."
Secretary Alger cabled to Win,
KJellman, chief government ralndecr
herder, who is now in Alten, 'Norway,
ta inform 'the war department Im
mediately how soon COO reindeer can
be shipped to this country. They are
wanted for use as draught animals 'in
getting supplies to the miners in the
Klondike region.
It Is expected that they will be
transferred at New York to the lall
roads and in that manner carried
across the continent and again by sea
from Pacific coast points up to Dyea,
or some other point that may be
selected as a base of operations. Alger
has 'determined after advising with
medical officers of the war depart
ment and persons who have had much
experience In Arctic regions, to make
large use of condensed food prepara
tions, since not only will the meat be
in the most enmpact form, but partic
ular efforts are being made to secure
condensed preparations of vegetables,
such as potatoes and onions. The
state department has already asked
the British governmentto request the1
Canadian govcrnmemt to grant per
mission to pass these stores through
Canada.

The Somers N, Smith Loading Un
der Official Supervision.
Pensacola, Fla., Dec. 21. There
was considerable activity on board
the U. S. S. Montgomery, owing to
Information having reached her com
mander to the effect that some sus
pected filibusters were In the harbor.
Consequently the officers started and
made preparations for getting under
way aFa moment's notice. Later In
the day, the Montgomery put a squad
of armed met. in charge of an officer
on board the revenue cutter Penrose,
and they will be relieved every foui
hours until further developments.
The Montgomery also fitted oui
several boats and ammunition ana
armed crews to patrol the harbor,
while the Penrose did duty out side.
All the boats of tho Montgomery have
orders to fire, at first, two blame cart
ridges to bring to any suspected ves
sels, and upon her neglecting to stop,a
third shot, this time a loaded shell is
to be iircd.
The Somers N. Smith, a pilot boat
a vessel called Brlttanla and a schooner
are loading hero under official super
vision. The Smith is said to have run
several successful expeditions In the
past, escaping tho Montgomery once,
and as slio came from sea and was
taking on board all day cargo of some
kind, the Montgomery Intends to fol
low her as soon as she gets away. The
Britannia and the schooner haye also
been taking a cargo of boxes, supposed
to be ammunatlon, etc., on board, and
it reported the Dauntless is waiting
somewhere outside In order to ship
the ammunatlon at sea. It will thus
be seen that a well organized expe
dition to Cuba is -apparently being
prepared here,

New Youk, Dec. 21. Copies of a
statement signed by the officers of
tho Fourth army corps of the Cuban
army, renewing allegiance to the
Cuban cause and forswearing auton
omy, were received In this city today.
This action by tho officers of tho Lab
Villas deparnment rijakes the op
position to autonomy practically un
animous among tho Oubin officers.
The statement says in part:
"Wo aro convinced that tho promul
gation of reforms is an evidence of
weakness on the part of Spain, and Is
In itself a triumph of our arms. Our
lighting attidutc will continue just as
it Is today, until our unfortunate
country Is made free. vVo will accept
no other settlement than that based
upon absolute Independence, which
must he agreed to with our govern
ment and assembly of representa
tives."
Among tiie signers were Juan Masso
Parra, brigadier-general of the First
division, and CallxtoGarcIa.adjutant.

La Lucha says the fate of Ruiz was
"a misfortune duo to haste."

aThe evening newspapers arc much
disturbed over the situation.
"What do wo get?" Is the burden of
their complaint, and all insist upon
the necessity for immediate action.
The ulobo says:
"Russia and Germany now have the

of tho kind lias ever been considered.
