their big strike, but it was learned on
board the schooner that the mine of
which they place most reliance is on one
of the islands just south of Kodiak Is
land. The ore is rebelliOus, but rich
enough to warrant the expenditure nee

vent further riots and to protect Amer
lean interests should any new cases Of
outrage occur.

they have been sent to The State De-
partmnet and not to the President at
GRAY Gables.
