The Situation.

WASHINGTON, July IL. A letter from the
Commander of United States steamer James
town, at Sitka, Alaska, says:
Condition of affairs here is such that the
department has done wisely in sending a YES
sci to protect the settlements. There ia no
danger of premeditated attack on settlements
There is, however, terrible danger to which
the whites are exposed. When intoxicated
with "Hootchenoo" the Indians are likely to
commit outrages, which they are powerless to
prevent, and to resent which would draw on
them the vengeance of the entire family TO
which the culprit belonged. My belief 10 that
in Feb. last the settlements narrowly escaped
massacre, and that they did escape is greatly
due to influence of certain friendly Indians
of superior intelligence. do not think
there is any danger while the vessel is here,
and hope to be able to so influence Indians
that after we shall leave they will preserve
the peace.
