Government Officials Claim
the Camp.
PART OF THE DISTRICT IN ALASKA
Strong Efforts to Be Made to Reclaim
It--InternatIonaI COmpl1ca-
tiOns May Follow.

PoRT TOWNSEND, Sept. "A letter
just received from John U. Smith,
United States commissioner at Dyea
and Skaguay, intimates that govern
ment officials now on the way to the
Upper Yukon may by their official acts
bring on serious international complica-
tions with the Dominion government.
He says:
"It is announced here by a deputy
United States marshal that the United
States government is to make claim for
a large portion of the Yukon gold fields
which have heretofore been supposed to
be in British territory, and that the ter
ritory which is claimed as being within
Alaska includes Dawson City.
''The basis of the claim to be made by
the United States officials to the dIsput-
ed territory is in the fact that the
boundary line has never been determin-
ed, and that the United States authori-
ties claim to possess information as to
surveys made by the Canadian govern
ment that fixes Dawson City and a large
portion of the district in Alaska.'

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-In the Luetgert
trial this morning Frank Orafsky, the
smokehouse man at Luetgert's factory
was examined briefly by the attorney
for the plaintiff and turned over to the
defense. He was subjected to severe
questioning, with the object of showing
that there were discrepancies between
his testimony of yesterday and that
given at Luetgert's preliminary hear
ing.
Frank Sewandowksi, another employe
of the factory, was examined. His tes-
timony was mainly corroborative of
Orafsky's.

aragua canal here has laid the facts be-
fore Mr.. Hitchcock, president of the
canal company in New York, with the
suggestion that the department be ap-
prised of the secret negotiations that are
now being carried on between Japan
and the diet.
Senior Zelaya, the president of Mic
aragua, it is understood, has admitted to
close personal friends that Japan Is now
negotiating with the diet, but in each
case he advised the strictest secrecy.
A private letter just received in this
city from Nicaragua says:
Among Americans in Central America
the belief is general that the Greater
Republic of Central America, which is
represented in diplomatic affairs by a
diet composed of three members, one
each from Nicaragua, Salvador and Hon.
duras, was organized principally in order
THAI Nicaragua might absolve herself
from individual responsibility as a ma
ton, and thereby abrogate her inter-
oceanic transit treaty with the United
States. The so-called Greater Republic,
resenting the failure of the United States
to recognize the Greater Republic (re-
ceiving Senior Rodriguez and in failing
to accredit United States minister to
the Greater Republic, is likely to make
a treaty with Japan, granting her a
concession for the construction of the
canal.
fThe United States minister here be-
lieves that when this news reaches
Washington the state department will
send note to Japan asking if she is
seeking to interfere with our treaty
rights in the premises. The Americans
in Nicaragua believe that the United
States government will insist that her
interoceanic treaties with Nicaragua,
Costa Rica, Honduras and Colombia are
yet in force, although the diet claims
that Nicaragua and Honduras are no
longer separate and individual nations
and are therefore irresponsible"
Although state department officials
will not admit that any official news has
come to confirm the private adv1ces,
there are reasons for believing that the
authorities have been watching Japan's
movements in Central America with
more OF less suspicion for some time
past

WOULD TAKE TIE CANAL.
japan Has Designs Upon the Nicaragua
Waterway.

Waterway.
New YORK, Sept. "A special to the
Herald from Washington, says:
Japan, not content with an interfer-
ence in President McKinley's Hawaiian
annexation policy, now has designs upon
the Nicaragua canal. According to
semi-oficial advices just received here
from Nicaragua, the Japanese govern
ment is secretly negotiating with the
diet of the Greater Republic of Central
America, which recently met in Saliva
dor. for the construction of the Nicaragua
canal, Independently and in defiance of
the interests of the United States or
other nations.
This action of Japan, taken in connec
tion with her recent attitude i'll regard
to Hawaiian annexation is one of the
greatest significance, showing as it does
to the authorities that there is no limit
to the ambition of the nation, and that
her aggressive policy may yet get her
into trouble with the United States
That the administration will resent any
interference with the Nicaragua canal
project as it did in the case of the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty, goes without
saying.
If Japan can encompass it, according
to the Nicaraguan advices received here,
she would like to obtain the abrogation
of all treaty rights possessed by the
United States in relation to interoceanic
transit and the forfeiture of the Ameri-
can canal concessions from Nicaragua,
and to Immediately make treaty with
the diet of the Greater Republic of Cen
trail America giving her control of the
route through Nicaragua.
In the negotiations Costa Rica has not
been consulted, it being well known that
she would not assent to a violation of a
treaty right. 1t has been suspected in
some quarters that England, which has
always been anxious to acquire at least
joint control of tue canal, might be
working in collusion with japan in the
"dIckering" with the diet now under
stood to be in progress, but nothing has
yet come to the surface to indicate that
she has encouraged Japan in the move.

THE ANNEXATION TREATY.
Davis Says 1t VIII Be Ratified When
the Senate Meets.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. &C. K.
Davis, chairman of the foreign relations
committee, was today asked for an ex-
preston regarding the Hawaiian ad-
vices to the Associated Press in regard
to the annexation treaty. He dismissed
the matter briefly, saying:
'There is no question in mind about
the truth of the first statement that
Hawaii may at once ratify the treaty.
Why not? The senate can get together
and they can readily dispose of the
treaty. AS to the statement that the
United States congress would be called
to meet two months in advance of the
usual date, there 10 no truth in it. The
treaty will be ratified by our senate
when taken up by that body"
