Encouraging Tidings.
BeIvedere Still Fast in Ice-AIex-
Whales-Death Reported.

The whaIers seem to be doing well
this year. to make up for their hard
luck in 1861, is the news that has
been received at San Francisco. All
those that were frozen in, and to which
the relief expedition was sent by the
Government, have got out of the ice,
with the exception of the Belvedere.
When the ice began to form Captain
Willard managed to work his vessel in
to a little bay, where she was consider
ed as safe for the winter as if in fixed
harbor. That safety has proved her
undoing so far, for while the Fearless,
Jeanne, Newport, Rosario and Wander
er are out and are now at Port Clar-
ance, she is still fast in the ice near
Point Barrow.
Of the vessels that were imprisoned
the Pacific Steam Whaling COmpany's
tender Jeanne and the steam whaler
Fearless were supposed to be in the
worst position. They were out in the
open. and it was feared that when the
ice began to break up they would be
ground to pieces. Some Of the others
were expected to share the fate of the
Jessie II. Freeman, which was nipped
in the ice and went down before Mate
TiltOn left Point Barrow for San Fran
cisco All of them are safe, however
and only one death has so far been re-
Ported.
The steam whaler Alexander, instead
of being wrecked, is reported all right

bark John and Winthrop had taken one
sperm and two right whales, while the
/ bark Gayhead had the same number
| The steam whaler William Bayies had
| taken six whales and the jeanette
| three, while the KaTluk had five
The only bad news is the reported
death OF Captain J. A. TiltOn OF the

declined to deny the authorship of the
letter, all doubt was dissipated and the
only question that remained was as to
the line of action to be pursued by our
government toward the offending min.
ister The writing of this letter is un-
questionably an offense against the

such otfenses almost invariably have
been regarded in the United States, as
in other capitals, as sufficient ground
for the termination of the official status

AS soon as the letter appeared in the
press the state department officials be-
gan an effort TO settle its authenticity,
and when it had learned all that could
be developed on this point and had
been told that the minister himself re-
fused to deny writing it, the considera.
tion of the next step began. Assistant
Secretary Day was III consultation with
the president Oh the subject at least
four times during the official day and
then spent much time in arranging his
message to United States Minister
Woodford at Madrid. The official
statement of the sending of this mes
sage was accompanied by declination
to indicate it's contents at this time, the
department merely giving to the press
the following statement:
Minister de LONE does not deny writ
ing the letter. This department has COM
municated with General Woodford on the
subject. Until that communication
reaches the Spanish government it would
be improper to in any manner state the
contents Of the message to General Wood

While the department refused to add
ANYTHING to this meager statement it
can be stated without question that
MIR. Woodford was directed to lay the
facts developed before the Spanish gov.
ernment with the statement that in
view of the minister's refusal to deny
the authorship of the letter the Spanish
government is looked to with conf.
dence to deal with the case properly.
This amounts to all invitation to recall
the minister, presuming that he him.

tanned of ready compliance with the
request, but il case there should be-
undue delay id the matter the state
