Gevernar nFady UrEes Immediate
Action ny the Government.

Washington, Feb. 2l.--The following let.
ter received by Secretary Bliss from Gov.
ernof Brady Of Alaska, has been discussed
at . cabinet meeting:
"Ths news from Skagaay by the steam
boat now in port is serious The United
States deputy marshal has been shot
dead in the discharge Of his duty. An
other man was killed at the same time
and at the same place. Recently the
steamers have been carrying great lists
of passengers Many Of these are gamb-
lers. thugs and lcwd women from the
worst quarters Of the cities Of the coast.
They have taken in the situation at
Skaguay and Dyca and appear to have
combined to carry things with high
hand. The best people at these places
nicipal form of government. The United
States marshal is poweFiess because he
can appoint only . few deputies and when
they undertake TO act they are signaled
out as targets by this ruffian element.
One Of this class was tried in the United
States district court last December for
the killing Of United States Deputy Mar
shall Wattin in january, 1897, and was &C.
quilted by the jury in the face Of positive
testimony. In fact these influences seem
to be joined hand in hand and viii surely
go unpunfshed until the government takes
action and provides the necessary force
at Skaguay, Dyea and other points.
Congress should grant immediate re-
lief so that both naval and military Of
heers cnn act when required by the civil
authorities. The United States marshal
should have patrol vessel at his com
mand with necessary accommodations for
deputies and proper attendant. / do
not see how he can perform his duty as
executive officer OF the court until he has
sneh means of locomotion entirely at his
own command.
AT the present time large as1d i'm
portant mining property is held by
number Of miners at Berner's BAY. This
was recently placed in the hands
OF receiver by the court but the receiver
has not come into possession up to this
time In this instance there is much 10
be said OF the miners action and their
self-eontrol, but it is of such a nature
that violence may be the result The
marshal has no means Of reaching that
point with n sufficient force to carry out
the instructions of the court. Judge
Johnson leaves by this boat to settle this
affair amicably if possible.
Two weeks ago or a little more a rang
Of men commanded Captain Patterson Of
the steamship Al-ki to discharge the
natives who were handling freight on the
wharf. They attacked the natives and
beat them cruelty in the face OF the dep
lty marshal. The captain was obliged to
compromise with them by paying them
30 cents per hour for work on the wharf. |
but he insisted that the natives should 1
work on the vessel.
i am sorry to report that the court /
house at Juneau has been burned to the |
ground.
So far the winter has been remarkable |
or mildness and this tends TO bring the /
'rowds sooner than they were expected"

ORDERED TO HAVANA,
The Cruiser New York VIII Bring
Back the Evacuation Comm ission

Orders have been issued at the Navy De-
paTtmeEt for the armored cruiser New
York TO proceed to Havana, Cuba for the
purpose of bringing the Cuban evacuation
commission back to this country. The New
fork was the flagship of the North Atlantic
fleet under command of Admiral Sampson
during the Spanish war. On her arrival at
Havana she will again display the flag of
Admiral Sampson.
Not since the destruction of the battle
ship Maine has the United States been rep
resented in the harbor of the Cuban capital
by an armOred vessel. Consequently more
than usual interest is manifested in the
proposed trip of the New York. During the
brief absence of the New York, Commodore
]. W. Philip, who is temporarily in com
mand Of the North Atlantic squadron, will
fly his flag from the battle ship Texas.
That vessel left TompkinsvilIe yesterday
for Hampton Roads. which has been select
ed the rendezvous of the squadron dur
ing the winter months. 1t is expected that
the evacuation commission will complete
its duties within Il few weeks, and that the
members will return to this country on the
New York before the 1st of January.

A private letter received here from Ma

ing Information bearing on conditions in the
Philippines AT that time the insurgents
had a line of troops outside the American
lines and would not permit the latter to
pass through. They had seven steam
launches, and d rumOr prevailed that they
thought of trying to capture an American
man-of-War. 1t was reported that Admiral
Dewey took away all their launches just a
few days before the letter was written.
The writer adds:
The insurgents are not a bad people;
they have been oppressed for ages by the
Spanish, who treated them most brutalIy
and shot many to death on mere suspicion.
There are many well-educated ard lntelli-

TO TEST CUBAN VALOR
Young Officers Ordered to Challenge Any One
Insulting Them.
Insurgent Army Has Secretly Ac-
4uired Formidable -Armament-Ar-
rival of Transport Florida.

HAVANA, December 2.-The executive
committee Of the Cuban assembly agreed al
its last session to make it compulsory upon
the part of any Cuban officer insulted by
Spanish, American or other officers, to chal
lenge the person insulting to fight a
duel. The measure has two aims, accord
ing to the Cubans, first Ito maintain the
dignity CT the Cuban army and secondly,
ito check the impudence and insolence Of
many so-caled Cuban officers who, without
having ever put their courage to a test
having enlisted after the armistice, are
staggering about with Cuban uniforms,
endeavoring to offend Spanish officers
1t is learned good authority that the
Cubans have recently secretly acquired
quite a formidable armament, the Interior
object of which IS not known. 1t is auOed
that they have purchased over 5000 rifles
within the last ten days. The fact is caus-
ing considerable speculation here.
