cape arrest for embezziement of govern
ment funds, Frank Mapes, postmaster for
this city, committed suicide this morning
at his own residence. On Thursday two
postoffice inspectors arrived here and
began an investigation of the office. They
finished their work last night. and the in
vestigation proved the postmaster to be an
embezzer to the amount of about $4,000.
1t is evident that Mapes feared arrest,
and decided upon death. At breakfast
time he complained of being i'll and re-
tired to his room. Soon afterward he had
his wife send for three of his friends.
When these men arrived pistol shot rang
through the house. Mrs. Mapes and the
three men ran to the postmaster's bed
room. They found him in the agonies of
death. He had blown out his brains and
died almost instantly. His family is pro.
vided for by $4,000 life insurance which

BERLIN. March 15.-The Peters scandal
has done the government a worse service
than anything the opposition could have
devised. Colonial adventurers have
already cost the government 3O,0O0,0O0
marks. The papers are now ransacking
Peters, writings to discover instances of
his boasting of his own brutalites. One
instance cited is that once his expedition
was passing a herd of cattle when the
herdsman politely requested him to 60
around instead of through the herd. Pet
ers' only answer was with his revolver,
with which he shot the herdsman in the
head OH the spot
1t is evident, however, that the govern
ment has resolved to throw Peters over
altogether.

ALASKA GOLD
Tempts Hundreds of Miners Into the Arctic
Regions

Regions
SAN Francisco, March 15.-The steamer
Umatil Ia sailed this morning for Victoria
and Puget sound ports, carrying away one
of the largest crowds of passengers for the
north in a long time. There we're 26S peo-
pie in all. The steamers capacity for ac-
comInodations was taxed to the utmost,
all sorts of improvised apartments being
accepted by the crowds who were eager TO
get away.
Among the passengers were at least 100
miner0 with outfits bound for the gold
fields of Alaska. Many of them are going
to Cooks Inlet. while not q few are to
brave the dangers of the Northern winter
and attempt to cross the ice from Dyea In
let to the Yukon.
To reach the Yukon by water it would be
necessary to wait until the end of May be-
fore leaving the city, and it will be some
time in June before the river will be sufii-
ciently free from ice to admit of naviga-
ton.
The fame of Forty Mile creek has gone
abroad and the majority of mining men
seem to wish to reach that goal. Those in
the camp advise all people to stay away
unless they have money to buy provisions
and pay their way back to civilization.
On the other hand, it is claimed the winter
is the best time in which to commence

MAUNA LOA HERE.
Arrival Of New Inter-Isl-
and Steamer.
Makes Trip in Less Than Nine
Days - A Very Hand
some Craft.

The new Inter-Island steamer arrived
in port and hauled alongside Brewer 5
wharf about 10 o'clock last night, after
a trip of 81a days from San Francisco.
Just as she was hauling alongside
the wharf, and everything there was
crowded, she sprung a surprise by
turning her electric searchlights this
way and that, causing the fish in the
harbor to jump higher than ever be-
fore.
She came down in command OF Capt.
w. B. Godfrey.
The remainder of her officers are as
follows: w. H. Bromley, chief en-
gineer; Andrew Johnson, first officer;
Peter Olesen, second engineer; J. NJ.
Johnson, Charles Klein, Alex. Mcleod
and Chas. Mcleod, quartermasters
Jas. H. Quinlan, first assistant engi-
neer; H. S. WoOten, second assistant
engineer; purser, T. J. King, who has
the thanks of the Advertiser for the
San Francisco papers of the latest
dates.
But the greatest thing in connection
with the new boat is the fact that she
is named Mauna Loa after the great
Volcano, which has created such an
interest for many years past. She was
called James Spiers' until December
1st., the day when she left, when she
was given the name of Mauna Loa,
which is a most acceptable one.

lieves that this city is destined always
to be the great entry port of the Ameri-
can Pacific Coast, and never Seattle or
San Diego. Fast steamers of large ca
pacity, similar to those on the Allan
tic, should, he thinks, be built and put
upon the Pacific trade in order to build
up international commerce on this
Coast.
Mr.. Irwin will return to his post and

There is nothing to indicate the where

thought he is retreating before the ad-
vance of General Weyler.
The war bulletins issued at the palace
today were unimportant. They only re-
port skirmishes, in which the losses on
either side were trifling.
Rebels today blew up a bridge near
Zeiba Mocha, province of Matanzas, as
a train was passing over it. The arnored
car attached to the train was wrecked
