PREP ARATIONs FOR WAR.
A Merchant Steamer Impressed-seattIe
to BE Fortified

MoNrEvIDEo, Jan. 22.-[New York Herald
Special. Admiral Walker and the white
squadron sailed today for Valparaiso.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22.-Shipping cir
cles were stirred up today over a report
that the government had impressed the
American line steamer Ohio tn he
used in case OF war. The officers of the
steamship company admitted that the Ohio
had been taken off the regular run. but
were careful to say she had not been
chartered by the government. From
another reliable source it was learned that
without doubt the government had eyer
clsed ITS right to take possession of any
merchant vessel sailing under the national
Tag Tor use when war or probability of war
demands IL, and under this law had i'm.
pressed the Ohio.

officers relative TO what is being done
Today he received telegram from GOV.
ernor Ferry at Olympia, asking him TO see
thewar department officials and ascertain
if anything could be done to better protect
the interests of Puget sound in
case of war. The senator at once
repiled by telegraphiug Governor
Ferry that he had had a eonsul,a+io,, :.
the war department, and such arrange
ments had been made as should protect
the interests of the Sound in case war
should be declared. 1t would not be at all
surprising if within a very short time
there were mounted behind forti6cations
at Seattle, Tacoma ana Port Townsend
and any other point needing protection
some OF the best guns constructed BY the
bureau OF ordnance. At least long before
a Chilean warshlp or gunboat could enter
Puget sound this would be done.

thought there was any danger of war. and

The Indians of the Nez Perces reserva-

Etructions of the secretary of the interior
ordering all white persons Off the lands
allotted in severalty TO the Indians. The
Indians have rented land to whites. and
egard the land as theirs to work as they
please. The lesees, of whom there are
about $50, are also indignant, because
the agreement was entered into
In good faith and they have
been summarily ordered off without being
given an opportunity to recover anything
for their labor and money spent in i'm

will probably be forwarded to the states

he seemed to be of the opinion that there
was not much prospect at the present
time, but he thought it well enough for the
country to be guarded, and he intended TO
direct all his efforts as chairman of
the committee on coast defenses to see
that the Pacific was well protected
and that Puget sound is especially cared
for. From his conversation 1t was gath
cred that the government intended to have
some sort of understanding with Chile be-
fore the Captain Pratt was completed and
ready for the destructive duty
for which it was intended. He
says that in case war was
declared, probably the first point of at
tack on the Pacific coast would be San
Diego, Cal, as that city is now exposed to
attacks by naval vessel. He does not
think that San Francisco would be in any
great danger, because war vessels could
not get nearer than seven miles If kept
without the Golden Gate. The next point
would be Puget sound, as nothing could
prevent naval vessels from entering the
Straits of Fuca if they so desired.
For this reason he thinks that all possible
energy should be bent upon the determi-
nation to protect the chief towns of Puget
sound and prevent their destruction by
any gunboat belonging TO nation at war
with US.
Senator Allen some time ago called the
attention of the secretary of the navy to
the defenseless condition of Puget sound
and suggested that war vessel
be ordered there in order to pro-
tect the Sound cities in case war
should be declared. The matter has been
given due attention, and it is expected
that, in addition to the defenses which
Senator Squire may be able to secure,
