General .shafter and the cubans.
Governor of Alaska.

The Cuban patriots are not satisfied with the treatment they have received from the American general. The most important subject of difference is that the Insurgents are excluded from San tiago. The reason for this no doubt is that there is some fear that the Cubans would commit acts of lawlesSness that could not be tolerated by the American commanders, and the safer plan was to exclude them. The Cuban idea of war and the manner in which it should be conducted does not agree with ours. The fact is that the Cubans are far from being civilized and when the h. surgents murdered the Spanish marines and officers who were trying to save their lives by fleeing from Cevera's burning ships. they fully exposed their blood thirsty natures and utter lack of that human feeling which gives quarter to q yanquished foe. Americans have the kindliest feelings for the suffering Gu bans and when the island is freed from the Spanish yoke. they will be given an opportunity to demonstrate their abili- ty to govern themselves, but while we are driving the Spanish out, it must be done in accordance with the rules of civilized warfare, an art that is as yet unknown to the natives of the Cuban island.

Colonial Possession.
Seattle Republican.

.NN'NiC A' P't'HNN"'
 Until the annexation of Hawaii the United States has been absolutely with out colonial possessions and even Ha- waii cannot be strictly termed United States colony, but the war with Spain will leave it quite different in that di- rection. Even now the stars and stripes float over much territory, the result of armed conquest.
 The following excerpt will give the reader some idea of the colonial posses sions of some of the powers of Eu rope:
 Great Britain heads the list in the extent of her colonial possessions. While her own restricted home area includes only 120979 square miles, her colonial possessions which belt the en- tire globe include l6.662OT3 square miles, or nearly five times the area of the United States. With respect to population, Great Britain. within her home borders, contains 30,825,0OO in habitants. while her colonial possess sions support 322, 100000 inhabitants.
 Next to Great Britain comes France. With her home area asIregating 2O4, O92 miles, and her home population az g.egatiug 3S,520,0O0 inha abitants, she is the owner of colonial possessions con taining 2.503.06O square miles and 44,- 29O,0OO inhabitants.
 Next comes Germany. Germany proper contains 208,830 square miles and 53.323 .OOO inhabitants, but her col onial possessions include 1,615,577 square miles and 7,450000 inhabitants.
 "Portugal comes next. With only 36,036 square miles and 5,e50,0O0 inhab- itants included within her home bord- CTS, Portugal is the owner of colonial possessions containing 83J,9l4 square miles and 10,125, GOO inhabitants.
 Next comes Holland. Holland prop CT contains within her restricted terri, tory only 12,64S square miles and 4,930,- 0OO inhabitants, but her colonial pos sessions include 738,O00 square miles and 34,210,00O inhabitants. Holland ranks next to Great Britain in the sue cess with which she has managed the ! interest of her colonial possessions. In this respect she is one of the model countries of the globe.
 "Spain comes next. This power con- tains at home 197,6T0 square miles and 17,30O,0O0 inhabitants. Until the out break of the present war she was the owner of colonial possessions contain ing ,45S square miles and 9,S00,000 inhabitants, but since that time she has lost the Philippines and Ladrones, and is destined to lose Cuba and Porto Ri CO., She may also lose the Carolines before she gets through.
 "Italy comes next to Spain. Italy's home area embraces 110,646 square miles and 31, ,290,000 inhabitants, while her colonial possessions embrace 242,- 420 square miles and 195,000 inhabi- tants."

TREAsgRY DEPARTMENT.
 April 21. lS9S
 SIR: l have the honor to aekuowl- edge the receipt of your letter of the 2}rd instant, containing certain inQui.= ics respecting the enforcement of the liquor laws in your Territory.
 Replying thereto, you are informed that. in the opinion of the department. under the regulations prescribed by the President. the license issued by the governor for the sale of liquers within the Territory does not carry with it the right to the importation by the li- eensee of such quantities and kinds of liquor IS he may deem proper in the conduct of his business as liquor dealer.
 The regulations of the President, da- ted May 1, lSS7, provide a permit for the importation of liquors into the Ter ritory to be issued by the chief officer of the customs at the port or place in the Territory where the liquors are in tended to be landed.
 The Department has held that the collector at Sitka is the chief customs officer at any port within his district. The executive order requiring this permit from the collector was not changed by the subsequent order dated March F, 1892, authorizing the govern or to issue licenses for the sale of li- quor within the Territory. From this it can be inferred only that the Presi- dent intended concurrent action by both the collector and the governor as an additional safeguard to the proper enforcement of the law.
 tA I,n whether the Department can" instruct the collector to approve the permit of the governor" you are informed that under the executive orders issued by the President. and cited above, the col lector is vested with discretionary pow CT in the matter of issuing permits for the introduction of liquors into the Territory. with which power the De partment may not interfere. If, how ever your question is intended to ask whether the Department may instruct the collector to approve the licenses issued by the governor for the sale of liquors. you are inrormed that, while the issuance of such license is within the province of the governor. under the administration of Governor Sneak ley that officer refused to issue license es for the sale of liquor unless the ap- plicant was first approved by the then collector of customs This. however, was in pursuance of an understanding between the governor and the collect or. and the aquiescense of the collector to such an arrangement at the present time could not be secured through in structions from the Department.
 Respectfully yours.

Lumber and Stamps.

The Lumberman has had many in quiries as to the stamp act which went into effect July l. The safest thing to do it to stamp everything, and though this is somewhat expensive, it is patri- otic-also safe. The railway compan- ies will furnish one stamp for each car of lumber or shingles; if the ship per wants duplicates, he must stamp them. The 25,0O0 cars of shingles and lum Der that will be loaded in Wash ington in the year following July 1, 1898, will cost the railway officials S2,50O for stamps, with perhaps S7 300 to be paid by dealers and manufacturers in the way of stamps on checks and extra stamps for bills of lading and on drafts. Mills that pay off their em- ployees in checks will contribute sev- eral thousand dollars to the United States treasury Taking it altogether, Uncle Sam has the drop and takes no chances on the markets.-West Coast and Puget Sound Lumberman.

About The Ladrones.

The Ladrone or Mariana islands, of which the American cruiser Charleston took possession on its way to Manila, have been politically united to the Philippines for over two centuries. Guam, the largest and most southern island of the group, the residence of the governor general and the one on which the American flag was planted, lies 200 miles almost directly east of Luzon, the chief island of the Philip pine group. There are seventeen is lands in the Ladrone group, they have an area of 420 square miles. The popu- lation is 10,172. The island of Guam is in the direct path for steamers from Hawaii to Manila, so that the Ameri- can fleet did not have to go out of it's route in order to stop there.

Officer Grant returned from Ketchi- kan on the Diana last Wednesday night. He went down to arrest that boat on libel warrant. Of the many beautiful things to be said about Grant, the most extraordinary is that he al ways gets what he goes for. He has been known to sleep, but never when any unfinished business is in his hands. Marshal Shoup has lots of deputies, loads of them, but none the equal of Fort Wrangel's competent marshal.

The Fife Alaska Co. know good thing when they see it and have there fore secured advertising space in the News. This popular firm is now run ming two stores in the city, 224 and G25 Front street. Manager W. H. Fife says he has not lost faith in Fort Wrangel. The fact of his opening a second store is proof of the truth of the assertion. MT. Fife will always be found on duty and glad to meet his friends. Don't forget, the new store is in the old Wal lis stand.

Is It True?

The dispatches announce the removal of Marshal Shoup and the appointment of his successor. We think there is some mistake about the matter. A bet ter official has never been sent into Alaska and we would much regret to know that the marshal is going to leave Ills.
