Col. De Alma Says He is Not Insane
and Did Not Threaten Senator Shcr-
man.
Col. De Alma, ex-collector of the port Of
Sitka. Alaska, went 90 police headquarters to-
day to see what he could do to protect himself
from the attacks OF newspapers. and was very
indignant at the statements In morning paper
about his threatening Senator Sherman, &C. He
denies ever having made any threats, and SAYS
he has been prevented by some persons from
obtaining just settlement Of his accounts
with the government for honest and faithful
erV1ceS rendered, which has kept him in
traitened circumstances financially. His OIL
ial report Of the true situation OF affairs in
Alaska had given great offence to the Alaska
Fur Company: Had he made report to suit
hat company's interests, he would have Jared
much better. But he thinks time will set all
,hlngs right. These stories about his insanity
nave done him much injury, he said, and they
are made for that purpose. He asked the po-
ice authorities what he could do: II he was
insane: the proper way was to have him ex.
amlned by the physicians; IL he was not, his
traGucers must retract what they have stated
about him. He asked If he should go and see
Col: Corkh1ll, or who was 1t that would see
Justice done him.
