Capt. Hofstad.

We are pleased to acknowledge a pleasant call from Capt. Hofstad, of the revenue cutter Cosmos. The Capt is brother of Inspector Hofstad, of this city. We always did think that Inspector Hofstad was the best man living, and our paper will bear witness to our unvaried good opinion of him, and under these circumstances, to know that he has brother equally as good as himself, is pleasing knowledge to us. We are always glad to meet the Capt, especially when he can give us time to work our News pump on him. The Capt. is keen, bright man, a close ob- server, and will come as near locating whiskey smuggler as any man living. He runs lots of risks and only short time ago he and his crew barely saved their lives by capturing an Indian who was making for, and was within few feet of his loaded gun, when the Capt. grabbed him. The News man has kept track of the Cosmos, and we are safe in saying that the government will never find better man for Alaskan waters than the Capt., or one who will be able to do the good, effective work he is doing.

READY FOR BUSINESS.
Fort wrangel Fish Curing Company Ready for
 Business.

Mr. J. F. Worden. of the Fish Curing Co. of this city, was seen by News inauss yesterday. We observed a very satisfied look on his face, and com menced investigating for the cause.
 Well, when are you going to start up, Mr. Worden?" asked the writer.
 We are all ready to go ahead now, as soon as we can get some fish. All the material we sent to New York for is here, and we have everything ready to go right ahead. We have notified some fishermen already and we will pay cash for the halibut when delivered at our establishment
 Then you mean to say that you want some one to bring you all the hal ibut you can put up, and you want them right away, and that the money is ready for the fishermen as soon as the fish are weighed at the back door?'
 "Yes sir. that is what l wish to be un- derstood as saying. To start on, and this is our first experience in Alaska, we will pay one cent per pound and this price will be increased if we find that we can do so later on. But at that there is good money catching fish,
 As soon as the work is fairly under way, the News man will take trip through the establishment and give a full description of the same.
 Securing this enterprise in Fort Wrangel has certainly been great hit, and will help the town in many ways. Do not forget that it is due to the 25,0o0 club that this new industry has been located in this city.

the Spanish governor will be obliged to
surrender soon.
The United States is hurrying prepara-
tions TO send troops to Dewey from san
Francisco. The cruiser "CharlestOWn"
and at least one transport will salt this
week. 1t is proposed to send at least 90,
900 troops. Major Gen. Wesley Merritt,
commanding the depart ment of the East,
will be military governor of the Philip
pines
that a powerful Spanish fleet will sail to
oust Dewey from the Philippines. The
fact that the report is circulated through
Spanish sources is sufficient reason for
diacrediting it.
The hope that the government would
soon be in telegraphic communication
| with Admiral Dewey has been overturned.
The Manila Hong Kong line is Spanish
concession to the telegraph company.
| Since Dewey's victory he telegraph COM
| pany has been notified that if messages
were sent over the line without the sane
| tion OF Spanish authorities, the franchise
would be forfeited. When the United
States gains military control of the Phil
| ippines communication may be estab
| lished.
OUR RELATIONS WITH FRANCE.
Relations between France and the Un-
| tied States We're becoming strained by q
chain of circumstances which seemed to
| lnd1caIe not only frehch sympathy DuC
French aid for Spain but the tension
has been relieved by the prompt action
of France in the 'Harvard' case"
| The L. 5. auxiliary cruiser "Haryard'
| (formerly the American liner "New
York;, is now at Martinique with dis
abled engine. There she stumbled upon
the Spanish fleet, but being in neutral
port, of course was not mOlested.
1t was CALLING to Spain to miss this
chance OF securing rich prize, and she
immediately protested to the French gov
ernment against allowing the "Harvard''
to remain in French port. The French
government promptly replied that the
"Harvard'', being disabled, has tull
right to remain at Martinique Sc loNg as
necessary to complete repairs.
THE SITUATION in SPAIN.
Further evidence of the critical situa-
tion in Spain came Sunday in the an
uouncemeut TINT all he members of ne
Spanish ca binet had resigned. SagGsta,
president of the couEci', is now engaged
in forming new cabinet.
1t is semi-otticiallY stated that the
changes in the cabinet will be wholly in
the direction of more active war policy.
