General Jefferson O. Davis, in his official
report, dated San Francisco, respecting Indian
outraees in Alaska, rectes that the Indians.
who were punished, and who were guilty of
numbering traders, belong to a warhke tribe
called Kaki or Kakeou. They have committed
many murders and outrages, but have hereto
fore escaped punishment. Upon hearing of
the recent murder of traders, General Davis
proceeded in the steamer Saginaw to the
neighborhood of the tribe, and finding their
village deserted ordered it to be burned. The
tribe were much frightened at the summary
manner they were dealt with, and promised
to surrender the murderers, whom the COM
manding general is determined to promptly
execute. General Davis does not anticipate
any serious trouble, as he feels himself mas
ter of the situation. The Saginaw will be
properly fitted out and proceed again to the
neighborhood of the Kakis to further punish
them, if the murderers are not surrendered.
