Klondike Tremens: A Klondiker Letter to Casper Readers
A Seattle Times published letter from a Klondiker describes the brutal prospect of prospecting at Alaska's frontier. He claims substantial wealth, notes heavy pneumonia and scurvy, dreams of peaches and radishes, and laments hunger and isolation while recounting gold dust stashed in syrup cans and a dying dog’s hide used as a dust sack. He warns of the toll on youth and body, and hints at plans to return to the states with money.

Spain's Autonomy Decrees for Cuba and Puerto Rico
Madrid outlines two island parliaments under a governor general with home government control. It sets a 35 member insular council, elected and appointed members, and strict age and residency rules. The plan gives the governor general broad powers, including pardons, state of siege, and treaty oversight.
