HONOLULU, Jan. (via San Francis
CO. Jan. 15).-United States Minister
Albert S. Willis died at his residence
yesterday at a. m, after several
months illness.
The direct cause of death was pneu-
monia, which he first contracted in
San Francisco early last year. His
condition has been at times such that
it gave his family hopes of his ulti-
mate recovery, and again it was pre-
carious to a degree that filled his
physicians with grave alarm A few
days ago his condition was much i'm
proved and his family renewed their
hopes, but the change for the better
was but temporary. He has been sur
rounded at all times by the best med
ical talent in the city, and every care
was given the Minister, but in spite
of vigorous constitution, which had
assisted him III battling with the dis
ease, he succumbed after long and Sc
we're suffering.
Mr. Willis left small estate but

GOLD BELT IN ALASKA.
Interesting Report of Director WoIcott
of the Geological SURVEY.

WASHINGTON, JAN 14-An inter-
esting report made by Director Wolcott
of the Geological Survey, showing the
presence of an enormous gold belt in
Alaska, has been forwarded to the
House of Representatives by the Sec
rotary of the Interior
The report tells the story of an ex-
pedition that was sent out by the Geo
logical Survey to determine the gold
and coal deposits along the line of the
Alaskan coast. The second expedition
followed in May, 1896, going to the
gold fields of the Yukon River to in
VeSt1gate the report that there We're
large placer deposits along the stream
beds. The party traversed the valley of
the Yukon from the British boundary
on the east to the mouth of the river
on the west. All of the welI-known
placer deposits We're examined, and the
origin of the gold in them was traced
TO the quartz veins along the head
waters of the various streams entering
the Yukon.
Sufflc1ent data was secured to estab-
lish the presence of a gold belt 300
miles in length in Alaska, which enters
Alaska near the branch of Forty-mile
Creek and extends westward across the
Yukon Valley at the ramparts. It's fur
ther extent is unknown
1t is the opinion of the geologist in
charge of the expedition that it is en-
tirely practicable to prosecute quartz
mining throughout the year in this re-
gion. He also discovered along the
river areas of considerable extent of
rocks containing hard and bituminous
ccal
The Director thinks, in view of these
facts that a reconnaissance map should
be made of the gold and coal areas. in
order to secure an intelligent concep-
ton OF the resources of the interior of
Alaska, and for this purpose asks an
immediate appropriation of SO, 900.

STEAMSHIP DELAWARE.
JACKSONVILLE Fla), Jan. IA
The steamship Delaware of the Clydes,
Boston, Wilmington, Charleston and
Jacksonville Line came to port this
morning, having ON board Lieutenant
Sutherland of the United States dis
patch boat Dolphin. The presence of
the Lieutenant on board the steamship
is accounted for by the fact she was
taken for a filibuster when she ap-
peared off the bar.
All grew out of the lighting of
match, and the officers on the Govern
ment vessel on the alert to catch any
filibuster along the Florida Coast
flashed its searchlight over the waters
to learn the meaning of the little flame.
The light settled on a small row boat
in which was seated a pilot awaiting
the arrival Of the Delaware to bring
her in over the bar. The appearance Of
a man in a small row boat at sea at
so early an hour excited the suspicious
of the Dolphin, and the boat and men
were kept under close surveillance
When the Delaware hove in sight be-
fore daylight, and the pilot boarded
her. the circumstances were regarded
with even more suspicion. Lieutenant
Sutherland boarded the Delaware and
came into port with her.
AFTER arriving mere he visited the
office of United States District Attor-
ney Clark, but the nature of his visit
could not be learned. 1t is presumed
however, that he was satisfied that the
Delaware was not filibuster, for he
returned to the Dolphin about noon
going down on the revenue cutter Col
fax. Lieutenant Sutherland was seen
during his short visit to this city, and
when asked as to the day the Dolphin
Woeld come into port replied that he
could not say.
Reports that the Delaware was fired
on are entirely erroneous.
