A Yarn from Behring Sea Which Naval
y Oficers Do Not Believe,

SEATTLE, July 1s.-The steamer City
of Topeka, from Alaska, which arrived
here last night, brought the Job
advices, which finally settle the
concerning the steamer Alexa
which was fitted out in San Fra
some time ago, ostensibly for a
cruise. The Alexandria. under com
of Capt. Mclean, sailed from San ]
cisco for Honolulu last April, and
left Honolulu at night. On June
Alexandria was intercepted in b
sea by the United States warship
can, while in the act of raiding seal
cries. The Mohican ordered the
andria to lay to, but instead of do
the Alexandria increased her spec

sued her and fred two blank shots

In supreme disregard of the order the
Alexandria steamed faster. When the
Mohican fired another blank cartridge
the Alexandria trained her six-pounc er
on her pursuer and sent a shell crashing
through the sides of the warship and
into her gunroom. The ball played
havoc among the ships machinery and
completely disabled the Mohican. At
this juncture dense fog arose, and the
Alexandria made her escape, while the
Mohican had to anchor for six hours for
repairs.
Two Sealers Seized.

Coudert Calls 1t Lunacy.
NEW YORK, July 18.-Mr. Frederick
r. Coudert, one of the counsel employed
by the United States to argue its case be-
fore the Behring Sea Commission in Par
is, was much surprised when shown the
despatch telling how the Hawaiian seal
poacher Alexandria had fired upon and
disabled the United States man-of-war
Mohican.
Mr.. Coudert was unable to give any
history or details of the vessel Alexan-
dria and its owners. II did hear at one
time" he said, that some fellows up
there had threatened to go armed and
make trouble if they were interfered
with, but I never thought that any one
would be lunatic enough to carry out
such threat. Judging from this dis
patch, this ship was raiding the rock
cries. There can be no international
question arising from this as to the
legality of that act 1t is much the
same as if were to go and raid your
barn. 1t would seem to me that Great
Britain's ships would be just as anxious
to seize such marauder as those of our
government. as this fellow is a public foe.
Naval Officers Do Not Believe 1t.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Navy Depart
ment officials do not believe the story
that United States steamship Mohican
was fired upon and disabled by a poach-
ing steamer in Alaskan waters on the
25th of last month. A despatch received
from Captain Ludlow since the affair is
said to have taken place makes no men
ton of such an occurrence.
