HI REGARD TO THE TOLON
INDEMNITY CLAIM. '
Tn Claim Is for $100,000 for Being
'. Arrested by the Spanish Police
.Authorities and Imprisoned tor Ten
Days in a small, Filthy Cell.
Kww York, Oct. .12. A. special to tine
Herald from Washington says: .. ,
Instructions to Minister Woodford are
bedng prepared at the state department
for tee presentation to Spain ef another
demand for the immediate payment of
tlhe i claim for indemnity made by Sam
tietT.Totoa . The original demand -was made to the
Madrid government by Mr.. Taylor, , who
ha just retired from tlhe office of indn-
Jefcer. . He stated in strong language; that
this government would expect Spain to
pay tfbe claiimao 150,000 indemnity for
t3tt sufferings he had enaured. Spain's
reply was that It was under, no cbliga--tlon
to pay Tafcmy and t h is has been
followed by another : statement which,
declares that the action of, the Spanish
authorities in OuSbe. was a, gufoensative
measure and that: Spain would be un
just' to herself anould 0be indemnify
State department officials insist that
,t'he claim is a just one and will contietiue
to press it. Ttolon was naturalised In
New York City to 1890. He left Carde
nas for Havana on September 1, of last
year, intenjeMng1 to saM fosthe United
States on business. While on board the
steamer Seneca he was arrested by po-

MERIDIAN LINE
INNOVATION BY THE ALBANY,
iN. Y., MAYOR 1
A Meridian Line Plaoed -Across the
Sidewalk to Define the Directions
of the Compass.
New York, Oct. 12. A special to the

ATbiany ..circies. -
T The "Meridian line" is being placed in
position diagonally across-the sidewalk
at the southeast corner of the city hall,
It is. nearly completed and has1 already
accomplished the . purpose for -.which
Mayor Thaeher desired it when he asked
the common council to appropriate a
certain sum for the e3tab3ishment of a
Meridian line in the sidewalk and a
bronze tablet on the city hall oh which
fehiauid- be ascribed the longitude and
iatituae of tne cuy-of Albany. The Me-
ridftan line, though incomplete, has con
vtinced a number of persons that they
have been in error, regarding the direc
tlon ftfie various '.-streets' of Altoetny.
The idea , of a Meridian line first
struck Mayor Thlacner while making a
visit to a cathedral in Milan, Italy. He
noticed a brass strip In the floor and
upon inquiry' learned that it was in
tended ' to establish, the direction of
north and south. The mayor -thought
that this would be a good thing for his
own city and last May suggested it to
tlhe common council. The latter imme
diateJy looked favorably upon his ad
vice and City Engineer . Andrews was
intrtructed to do the necessary work
with the, mayor. ; '
It was first thought t!he line could be
laid in' tine carriage-way, but it was
found that tittle granite block would not
be a good piace for the marbie employed
and the heavy traffic would deface and
spoil - the work. The strip across " the
sidewailk is flwenty-four inches wide and
sixty-seven feet long, imposed of
blocks of marble from Prandon, Vt,
which was puiaeed. because of its "du-
raJbUity. It istot: as white as some mar
(ble, but it will stand the climatic influ
ences and wear of feet better, than

There Are Staoks and Stacks of Gold,
Eaoh Stack "With the Owners Name
on It $2,000,000 Will Come Out
This Fall.
Seattle. Wash. Oct. 12. The steamer
City of Topeka arrived here last night
from Juneau, Alaska. Among her pass
engers was John F. . Maloney, of Ju
neau, who came out from Dawson with
Galvin party. In ah interview with
the correspondent , ,of the Associated
Press, Mr. Maloney said:
Hunter Creek' and ; ; Gold Bottom
Greek, it IS conceded, will equal, if not
rival, the now famous BonansJIb and
Eldorado Creeks, More especially is this
true of Hunter Creek. Location No. 33
on that creek is among the richest in
the Klondike .' district. Many of the
claims on this creek will run $2,000 to
the box. On No. 30, Eldorado, Alex Mc-
Donald's claim, one man In a shift and
a half (which is about twelve noursj,
shoveled in $20,000. On Skookum Gulch,
which enters Bonanzas No. 2 above Dis
covery, on locations Nos--1 and 2, I saw
$30,000 weighed out of two box lengths."
Mr. Maloney saw a sixteen quart
brass kettle filled with gold dust in the
cabin of R. T. Dinsmore, Harry Spenee,
Bill McFee and others.
No. 31 Bonanza,
owned by Oscar Ashley and
Billy
Leake, will produce $1,000,009.
Ten days after the boat left for down
the river, taking the gold, the North
American Trading ajid Transportation
Company had a .quarter of a million in
its safe at Dawson, This shows how
rapidly the gold accumulates,
Mr. Maloney says that over $2,000,000
will come out this fall.
"There are stacks and stacks of gold,'
he said, "each , 'with the owner's name
on it. 'Alex McDonald Will produce the
largest amount. I hesitate to give fig
ures, -but the simple truth is that his
various interests will yield from $2,000,-
000 to $4,000,000 this winter. These fig
ures are staggering, but true."
The statement , is -made that Henry
Bratnoble, agent Jtor the Rothschilds,
who has been several weeks at the dig
gings, offered over a million for ten
claims adjoining on Eldorado,' but the
offer was declined.
Maloney offered $80,000 for a one-half
interest in claims Nos, 33 and 36 on
Eldorado, which' off er was declined like
wise. Charles Anderson, on claim No.

WANTS TOHNVEST.
San Francisco, Oct 12. Henry Brat-
nober, the mining expert who is known
throughout the United States from his
connection with the. Exploration Com
pany of London, has returned from the
Klondike. His mission was to ascertain
if an opportunity presented itself for
investment. ' s -
He says: I round some very good
placer mines, but not as sensational in
richness as has been; reported. In many
cases the claims .are, comparatively
poor, although almost any of them will
pay wages. Because one claim is rich
is no reason i why - an adjoining one
should be equally good. On the con-"
trary,. the near neighbor of a rich claim
is generally not worth much. There are
few summer diggings in . the Klondike,
that is, those whiclv can be worked by
the ordinary sluicing process. Most of
the bed rock is eighteen or twenty feet
below the surface, and the earth is
frozen, solid except the eighteen inches
or two feet which thaws in the sum-
I mer. On the whole, the Klondike may
be classed as very good diggings and I
should say there, is a good chance for
other discoveries this "fall. -
"As to .quartz mining, I consider it
j impossible at the present time, owing
to the difficulty to 'be overcome.
"I do not think there is much danger
of starvation at Dawson."
; CATTLE ON THE WAY.

maine, who returned from Cook's Inlet

that' 103 head of cattle got In over the

route would be blocked out by snow.
Romaihe says aj number of men with
