ALASKAN ADVICES.
EFFECT OF THE INDISCRIMINATE
SLAUGHTER OF SEALS.
"A Temporary stop Put 10 the xiii

enue Gutter Rush
Returns

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16.-0unalaska adj
vices to December 9th were received here
by the United States revenue cutter Rush,
which returned yesterday from Bering sea.
The advices state that with the departure
Of seals southwark an opportunity was
given Of inspecting the rookeries at Seal
Islands and that more than ten thousand
young seals were found dead apparently
from starvation. The indiscr1minate
slaughter of seals without regard to sex, it
is contended, deprived the young seals of
their dams and their natural sustenance.
Among the orders brought to Ounaiaska
by the Rush on her return to Seal Islands
was one from the treasury department pro.
hibitlng the killing of blue foxes on the
islands during the present season. The
killing of these foxes for fur have been
considered perquisite of the lessees Of
Seal Islands and the order, it is stated
means the loss of about twenty thousand
dollars to the North American CONNER
cial Company
Inquiry at Pribylov islands disclosed the
fact that no vessels other than passing
Whalers bound down from the Arctic, have
been sighted since the departure Of the
Rush in September, and it is thought the
report of intended raids by seal poachers
was unfounded, or else that the latter
thought better of the project and gave it
up. The weather has been very rough and
the last known sealer has left Behring Sea.

Within few years the Spanish gov.
crnment has placed commemorative
tablet at the entrance of the grotto where
Cervantes, the author of Don Quixoten
and his companions in slavery hid them
selves. 1t is on the side of the hill of
HANNA, about three miles south of AL
giers, in picturesque situation and sur
rounded by an impenetrable thiclet
Cervantes was taken prisoner in 1915
by Barbary corsairs, and fell into the
hands of the renegade Albanian, Deli
Mani. Cervantes and his companions
escaped from Deli Manu. but could not
escape from the country A brother of
Cervantes was ransomed in 1877, and
promised the captives to send frigate
from Valencia or the Balearic Isles,
which should touch at point of the
shore agreed upon, and rescue them by
force or strategy
The place where they took refuge was
near the seashore. A gardener named
Juan, under the direction of Cervantes,
secretly cut out cave, in which the Ii
Christian prisoners hid themselves. Juan
watched the neighborhood and allowed
no one W appIodcn IHe cavern, anu all
other slave brought food to the captives,
who dared leave their hiding place only
at night.
After eight days, during which Ger,
vantes watched the sea, he saw the frieats
which had come to rescue them. Thai
evening the frigate approached the land,
but fishermen gave the alarm, and SO
many people assembled that the captain
was obliged to go to sea again. He made
second attempt little later, but unfor.
tunately was captured
The day after the frigate was taken the
captives were betrayed. Cervantes was
sent to the convict prison, and little
later, just as he was about to be sent to
Constantinople, where the possibility OF
rescue would be lost forever, he was ran.
