UNITED STATES WILL GEL IN
(Special Dispatch to Dally Alaskan.]
Havana, Sip. 22? The intervention of
the United Slates in the Cuban war
seems to be the certain result of the
conditions now obtaining. The pre
diction is freely made that an American
army will be landed on the island with
'n a week.
Secretary Taft has wired to President
Roosevelt for instructions. He says
neither side is willing to come to an
agreement.
Gen. Guerrera, commanding the re
bel forces, made a demonstration last
night within two miles of the place the
peace conference is in session. He
showed 5,000 men, armed and ready for
battle. Secretary Taft ragards this
demonstration as an insult to the
American commissioners.
There will be another conference
with the rebel leaders this evening but
it is apparent there is little hope of ac
complishing anything: by it.
The insurgents have sent rather de
fiant word the American conferees that
the American warships that surround
the island cannot come ashore and fight
in the Cuban brush.
A rumor that President Palma and
his cabinet were about to sesigned is
denied at the state house.
SKAOWAV SdOlLD SfClRf
SMELTER
Now is an opportune time for vhe
people of Skagway to make a concerted
move towards securing a large smelter
for their town. Copper, .gold, silver
aud lead ores are being produced on all
sides of the place. Before a smelter
could be erected, the ore produced at
our back door, ore which to be treated
must needs be shipped through the
townand l.OOOJto the south, willbe suffici
ent in quantity to keep a smelter
going. Then, down at Haines just a
few miles away, there will be wharves
where the riches of the Raiov Hollow
district will first reach tide-watert.
A smelter at Skagway would be
within easy reach of the Atlio, Golden
Gate and Taku Arm gold ores; the
Windy Arm . silver, copper, gold and
lead ores: the Whitehorse copper ores,
the Rainy Hollow copper ores, and all
the ores reached reached by Northern
tides from Vancouver island to Dutch
Harbor.
The bills on all sides of Skagway are
filled with large ledges of the best
known fluxing ores.
Skagway has unsurprsed harbor fa
cilities, and cites that are unexcelled,
It is up to the people here to see
what further inducements to offer cap
italists to locate a smelter here a~d
what inducements arc necessary to the
end desired.
Skagway is the center of what will
no doubt prove to be one of the world's
richest mining sections. Its location
makes it the natural emporium for the
eutire country surrounding Lynn canal
and the upper Yukon.
The outlook for Sksgway and Skag
way's country, was never better than it
is now. The question is will Skag
way citizens arise equXl to the
OCCASION AMD MAKE SURE OF THEIR
NATURAL HERITAGE? A GOOD FIRST
STEP WOULD BE TO MAKE SU?E OF A
swei.teR.
NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT.
