Report Received at the Navy Oe-
partment From Commander Sc
bree of the Gunboat Wheeling
Giving a General Outline OF the
Conditions at Valdes and Orica.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29-The Navy
Department has received a report from
Commander Sebree of the gunboat
Wheeling. dated Orica, Alaska, Septem-
Der 9th, giving a general outline of the
conditions at Valdes and Orica, in the
neighborhoodl of the gold deposits on
Copper River, which contains informa-
ton valuable to miners because OF It's
authentic and official character.
The commander says that he found
500 people at Valdes on the 9th of Sep
tember. about 800 of whom were keep
ing stores, restaurants, etc. Ihere
were about 200 returning miners, and
they were coming back every day at
the rate of from two to fifteen. About
5000 people went in over the glacier
and up the Copper River, and there
are probably about 1,200 people now
in the interior, many of whom are
building log houses and arranging to
stay in all winter.
In the interior provisions are plen-
tiful. Men returning sell their out
fits, so that provisions, clothing, etc.,
over the glacier, are selling at less than
half Seattle prices.
At Valdes about sixty-five of the re-
turning miners were being fed by the
Government These men say they
have no money They are required to
work about two hours a day on the
Government reservation. At the no
tel kept by the agent of the steam
Whaling Company about fifty men
were being fed and lodged for 10 cents
a day, and the agent offers to employ
men at $3.50 per day, the money to De
used to pay passage to Seattle. Pro-
visions at Valdes could be bought at
about half Seattle prices, and one
tradesman was about to ship back
lot of provisions that he bought from
returning miners to sell at Seattle at
profit.
Before the winter sets in from 2oO
to 500 miners are expected to return
from the coast to the interior. Some
of those have no money, and are ask
ing if the Government is about to send
a ship to take them out. Miners are
crossing the glacier in from twelve to
fifteen hours.
In conclusion. Commander Sebree
says that possibly fifty per cent. of
the miners on the coast have no money.
Judging by the prices of provisions at
Valdes, and from information given by
the miners, there are at Valdes and in
the interior plenty of provisions for all
the winter for all the miners in the
Copper River country, so there is no
danger of starvation.

Sternherg, Of the army, a strong pro-
test against more wounded soldiers
from Cuba being landed at Fort Mon
roe. He called attention to the fact
that the breaking out OF yellow fever
epidemic there, besides endangering the
lives of thousands of people in Vir-
ginia, would also weaken, If 1t did not
absolutely unman Fort Monroe, would
suspend work at the navy yard at Nor

but the letter OF the Coal Operators
Association clearly shows that that
position is no longer II tentative one.
If CRATES made to burn anthracite
coal" can be used equally we'll for
soft coal" there is no good reason
why at least one half of the form Of
CRATES now i'm use on the ships should
not be changed accordingly.
This government having acquired,
10y conquest, several important coal
ing stations i'm the Atlantic and the
Pacific oceans, tits reasonable to sup
pose that anthracite can be stored in
those docks and the supply replen-
ished from the mines of Peuusyl
vauia, to the same advantage that
soft coal could. Besides, the former
coal has an advantage over the hitter
in naval warfare that even the naval
officials willingly acknowledges An

DISTRUsT IN SANTIAGO.
Business Men Will Not Invest, Fearing
That the City May Be Turned
Over to the Cubans.

Santiago de- Cuba July 20.--A panlClty
feeling prevails in business circles here,
owing to fear that the Americans will
turn the city over to the Cuhans for
self government. No confidence exists,
owing to the uncertainties of the flu
ture. orders that were given during
the first days Of the American occupa-
tion have been countermanded by cable.
Even European merchandise on
through bills Of lading via New York
has been ordered unshipped and sold in
New York. even at a sacrifice.
The same feeling extends to the Gu
ban merchants themselves, who seem
TO have lost faith in the ability of their
own people 20 control affairs The
rebels demand independence but the
better classes the merchants and land
owners, dread such a possibility and
fervently hope that the United States
will retain the reins Of government in
the island, as the only guarantee of
stability and prosperity.
Senior Julian Cendoja, agent Of the
Ward line Of steamers, says that a
hundred Spanish merchants have ap-
piled for cabin and baggage room ON
the return trip of the steamer Phila-
delphia, and they will leave the city
unless there is some assurance from
the American government that it in
tends to control the administration of
public affairs I'm Cuba.
This is the question uppermost In
everybodys mind. Spanish, foreigners
and natives are all alike anxious for
a definite expression from Washington
of the policy of the United states with
regard to cuba, and until that express
sion is made no resumption of trade or
commerce can be expected in Santiago,
where today both are in demoralized
and chaotic state
