AVALANCHE ON onrLxoor TRAIL,
II Kills Eighteen Nen. One OF Them Joe
Choynnht,n Cousin,

PORT TOWNSEND. WASH, Sept. 2A.-The tug
Pioneer, which arrived here from Dyea ana
Skagway to-day, brings the story Of an avalanche
which descended near Sheep Camp. on the Chill
koot trail on last Sunday morning, causing
eighteen deaths. Only one body was identified;
1t was that Of young Choynski, the son Of q
newspaper man In San Francisco and cousin Of
Joe Choynski, tho prize fighter.
The officers of the Pioneer say the story was
brought to Skagway on Monday evening by three
men, who told Il in such a way as to leave no
doubt as TO its truth. They describe the ava
lanche as consisting Of rocks. ice and dirt. The
mass had been loosened by the hard rains which
had been falling continuously for the last
month. Capt. Nelson, master Of the Pioneer,
says:
Three men came to Skagway Beach on Mon
day night with the story that at Sheep Camp
that morning at $50 o'clock a peculiar sound
from the southwest side Of the mountain was
heard. Before residents OF the camp could fully
dress they found themselves being RAPIDLY borne
down the canon on q mass Of moving debris
from the mountain side. The slide struck the
town In tho northern part, whore nearly all the
packers were quartered in tents and asleep. The
main part Of the slide from tho mountain missed
Sheep Camp proper, although, from the report.
very little of the town remains.
The packers camp was wholly carried away.
It Is impossible TO learn the full names OF the
unfortunates. as they were all known as Jack.
Dick. SC.
The cause Of the slide was reported to be
the action Of the heavy rains on the hills. where
q sort Of reservoir was formed. and whence the
water forced tho land down into the basin below.
Never before have such heavy rains been ex.
perienced by the oldest Indians in the neighbor.

LONDON. Sept. 24.-In an interview to-day
Senior De la Camara, naval attache Of the Span
ish Embassy here. who was recently pro-
NOTED to the rank OF Admiral in the Span
ish Navy, said that Spain did not have
the slightest desire to go to war with the United
States, but IL she was forced into a conflict she
would make q good showing. considering
the position OF the United States in the
world. He did not think that the United
States was a very formidable sea power.
Many Of the American vessels were not
equal to the requirements of foreign warfare.
lie did not believe that Spain had any definite
plan Of . naval campaign in the event
Of war, and II such existed it would
be modified by any assistance received
from another European power. but tho
seaboard cities OF tho United States would
DO open to attack. As regards naval bases
Spain, apart from her own possessions in tho
West Indies. would have to depend upon the
good will Of ~neutrals for coaling and r%eftting.
