American Krll t I und V i o.v, Aug. i'..- -The act. on of congrcs-s iu appropriating Söo000 for the riief of ilistressed Americans in Cuba seemingly has resulted in adding t their sutfrings. This may be regarded as paradoxical, but its truth is attested by reports which have just been reeeivetl at the department from consular representatives of this government in Cuba. From J these reports it appears that i Spanish citiz.-us, who have heretofore ; permitted destitute Americans to reside under their roofs, are now evicting them unless they promptly-pay rent for the rooms they occupy. Many of the Americans are ill and without u pMsaj, ' depending upon the American cousin, for food aul medicine, aud are, therefore, unable to comply with tin detuautl of their landlords. The American consuls are not ab lowed ti pay for the lodgings of eiti- j lens of this government, and. eonMqajMtly, many who are ill have been ' turned into the streets. The fact that

mm iuoi .season is now on increases their discomforts, and tin- consuls report many in a pitiable plight. IV-I.II.. - - - i . , . .

The .lapani-.se took this as a direct affront, and they have not lost an opportunity since to In-little Americans and all that pertains to tili country. J runes A. Morse, president of the Am. i e an Trading t o., who wont U. Japan two months ago in the interest of the Cramps ami other companies here, wrote a week ago that the out

look for American interests in Japan was not encouraging. Mr. Morse expected to secure j the contract for the building of the last battleship which the Japanese gov- i ei nm. tit ord. r.-d constructed. II: was

lold by miners returned from thcKlondyke fittingly rival the stories ol Culiforuiu's golden period. As far back as laoo a deposit of gold was found in the biusin of the Yukon by a prospector named George Holt. He lso reported the finding of coarse tpaoilMtm along the liootuhnqua river. Hut it was the discovery of gold near fcitka in 173, followed hy tue liuds in Hie vicinity of Juneau in 1SS0, that drew attention to the possibilities of the uew ly-acquired territory of Alaska us

i gold-producing country. The great ibuudunce of gold was first madeknow n by Joseph Juneau, who prospected in tne regiou around the city bearing his ü'.Uie. in UM mining prospectors be

gan to scatter themselves along the Livers Pel) und llootaiiiiqua, and in the year following much mention was mude of the Stewart river as a held for the enterprising gold hunter. 'ich s'rikes were made in Ib'jZ by prospectors along Miller creek, a tributary of Sixty Mile creek. The progress made in Bltrifflg gold along the Alaskan and British Columbian rivers, ulthough giving high promise of future discoveries of gold, was not followed by anything which created a widespread udventurous spirit among people who were outside the mining region. The Klondyke and its aptly named golden tributaries, the Houanza and the Lldorado, huve nguin turned the heads of Americans and Canadians, starting them in pursuit of the metul which has been described as "bright and yellow, hard and cold, heavy to get, and light to hold." The reports from this locality of riches would indicate that the gold diggers have comported themselves in sin ti an unexumpied manner in times of great excitement as to somewhat revolutionize the traditions of goldmine prospecting. Systematically and orderly diil they go ubout their work, and when the harvest was reached each one appears to have rested content with the measure of his luck. Encouraged by their tales of success, thousands of others ore crowding the outgoing steumers in the hope that simI!; r good fortune may be awaiting tt em. So dazzling appears the prospect tl ut distance and hardships are insufllcipntly measured, and the long wintry Alaskan day which will have dawned u ion the fortune seekers before they r ach their intended destination has, it

It takes 90 iays to reach here from Seattle. Then i)yea. at the extremity of the Lynn catiul, is made. This town reached, the great passes of the Chilkoot. Cliilkut, and Moore, with their frequen t snow storms, next invite the weary traveler to con-

tinue his journey. This is uut a path of

rose he is about to tread. To save themselves when caught In the terrible storms which overtake wanderers in these passes above the Lynn canal, men have been known to crawl untler some overhanging rock and remain there without food until the danger w as past. The storms sometimes last for several days. From Juneau to Uvea is 100 miles. Crossing the Alaskan line one goes to Luke Linderman, 30 miles, on foot. Then across the lake for about five miles, after which an overland journey to the bejd waters of Lake Hennett, 2S miles long; on foot again to the Cari boo river; four miles to Tagish lake, from whence 21 miles may be traveled on boat. Continuing through a mountainous country. Mud lake is reached; thence to White Horse rapids, and on to Lake La Barge, w here 31 miles of navigable water is found. After a further Journey of 2 0 miles along tbe Lewis river the the Yukon is reached at Fort Selkirk. From Juneau to Dawson is a distance of 050 miles. The following advice has been offered to parties intending to take this route to the gold creeks: "So one should venture without eight months' provisions, and these should he bought a: Juneau. He hould have 400 pouuds of Hour, UK) pounds of beans, 100 pounds of bacon, 100 pounds of sugar, 10 pounds of tea, 30 pounds of coffee, 150 pounds of mixed fruit, besides salt, pepper, and cooking utensils. All these can be bought for tl e sum of $90. To convey them to the head waters of Lake I.inderman would

cost $15 per hundred. A month of perilous travel is ahead of the prospector.

It is nssunied that there Ines not exist the slightest doubt as to the Klondyke region beintr well within Canadian territory. Although It is only within the last few months that tbe Yukon district has sprung into notoriety, the (anntlian giverriment surveyors have been there for many years. In 1887 an expedition was sent by the interior department to explore that part of the northwest territories drained by the Yukon river. The expedition was untler the charge of Dr. lleorge M. Dawson, now director of the Dominion UeotOfteal survey, and of Air. William Ogilvie, who had had previous experience In exploring and surveying the northwest. Their chief task was to murk out the one hundred and forty -first meridian of longitude, which Is designated by treaty as the boundary line between the United States and Canada from Mount St. Elias to the Arctic ocean.
