DO Not Depend on Diver. Alone.

"A naval officer here to-day, in re-
ply to suggestion that 1t was a pity
such an important decision us the ver-
dict Of the court of inquiry into the
Maine explosion should rest solely up
on the testimony OF divers, who SEEM

replied:
"rhe court Of inquiry has not had to
depend upon divers testimony alone,"
then realizing that he had said more
than he intended, the officer resumed
his habitual reserve 1t is believed TINT
the testimony of Lieutenant Command

SOLDIERS WE'RE A SURPRISE.
Charged Crowd of Hungry Men at skag.
uny with BayOneta.

uny With Bayonets.
Seattle, WASH, March 4.-Captnin
Wallace gives the following particu-
lars of his first experience with the
longshoremen of Skaguay. When the
Queen finished unloading mt Junea the
thirty-five Indians that had been do
ing the work We're taken to Skaguay.
They do the work for % cents an hour,
and the white men demanded 20 cents.
AT Skaguay the Indians went ashore,
and were beset by crowd Of fifty
hungry men. The white men were
well organized. They did not know.
however. that the Queen had federal
troops aboard.
The stevedores mnde a rush and the
Indians fell back. and were crowded
close to the edge OF the wharf.
At this juncture three shots were
fred at the Indians by the attacking
party. The shots did no damage.
Then the 100 soldiers In charge Of
Captain +. r. Eastman were called on
by Captain Wallace to protect the In
dians. The company quickly formed
on deck. and the men were driven
back at the point of bayoncts.
The fact that soldiers guarded the
unloading of the Queen probably
caused the passengers to give out the
report Mt Victoria that martial law
had been declared Mt Skaguay.

Identified body from the Maine wreck

board the coast survey steamer Bache.
One gun division from the United
States cruiser Mnrblehead, under the
command OF Lieutenant Anderson, re-
celved the remains. Only n small
number OF people gathered at the dock.
A hearse was in waiting, but 1t proved
to be too small for the coffin, which
was then taken to the city cemetery,
covered with the stars and stripes, In
n plain wagon. The body was buried
ally accorded dead sailor.
Lupkins, Waters, Shea and Hoffron

NEWS FROM SKAGUAY
DISPUTE OVER THE BOUNDARY.
Canadians Encroachins On American Ter

Striker.

Seattle. Wash, March Alive
steamers arrived from Alaska to-day
the Utopia. Hueneme. Del Norte, Pro-
tectlon and Queen. The Queen brought
the latest news, having left Skaguay
last Sunday. The most important news
brought down was a confirmation Of
previous reports that the Canadian Of
fcials had raised the British flag on
what Is regarded rs American soil,
md OF trouble ut Skaguay with long
shoremen, who objected to Indians un-
loading freight from steamers. The
presence OF United States troops alone
prevented serious trouble. A compro-
mise was made with the white men,
to perform the work at 80 cents per
hour. 1t Is feared that serious trouble
will grow out of the Canadians at
tempt to collect duty on the summit of
the Americans will resist payment on
what they consider American ground.
Another complication will result from
the various tramways which are be-
ing constructed to carry freight over
the passes. The officials OF these tram
ways are reported to have declared
that any interruption with their con-
structtOn work or any attempt to ex-
ercise any right of ownership will be
resisted. 1t is thought mt Dyea and
Skaguay that the movements Of the
American authorities will be to claim
sovereignty over those two places. Last
summer the boundary line was at
Lake Bennett. then at Llndermann,
and now at the summit OF the noun
talns, which is only about twenty
miles from salt water.
Two days before the Queen left
Skaguay the wind. which had blown
from the north continuously for seven
weeks. shifted and began to blow from
the southwest, causing n general thaw
to set In. The change in the weather
caused hundreds Of people who had
been detained by the severe cold to
start over the trails from both Skag-
nay and Dyea, and when the steamer
left a general exodus from both towns
was taking place. Both trails are re-
ported In excellent condition.

NINE PERSONS DROWNED.
Deplornbio Accident to . Schooner In
Florida Waters.

flOr1uA WHtefe.
Key West, Fla, March 4.-The
schooner Speedwell. Captain Collier.
from Marco. Florida, for Key West,
was struck by squall today OF Mar
quesas, eighteen miles from here, and
capsized.
Nine persons were drowned out OF
thirteen on board.
Among the victims were three chill
dren of Captain Collier, George. Tom
and Wilbur, aged respectively 4, 9 and
8, and the entire Nichols family, Brad
ley Nichols and his wife, their son and
the latters wife. and two grand-chil-
dren. The family was from Bridge
port, Connecticut.
Those saved were Captain Collier;
Samuel Gates, deck hnnd; Jesse Green,
deck hand; r. w. Bates Of Myers,
FlorIdn, passenger.
The Nichols family Is said to have
been well-to-do. All had been staying
for a month at small hotel kept by
Captain Collier at Marco, and they
were on their way home.
The survivors say the Speedwell was
making slow headway this morning
against head wind. About Z o'clock
Captain Collier was at the wheel and
the Nichols family and the Collier chill
dren were in the cabin asleep.
Suddenly the squall came bowling
up nbeam Gates and Green rushed to
take in sail. AS the jib tapped loose
the squall caught the schooner and
blew her over on the port side. Collier
the deck hands and Mr.. Bates were
swept into the sea. but caught the
rigging Just In time to save them
selves. The wind, rain and waves
drowned the dying cries Of the impris
children.
They were penned in down below
like rats. The wife of the young Mich
OILS rose to the skylight. She waved
her hand to the men In the rigging
and that ,is the last they snw Of her.

berg Gymnasium. For some reason
the boys did not fancy Heidelberg over
much, and after ten months stay there
the family migrated, travelling for
summer through southern France. the
Tyrol and Switzerland, after which the
boys entered the Gymnasium at Alten-
burg. While there he was schoolfel-
low of a number OF juvenile royalties
and other youngsters of notable lineage.
and between him and the young Prince
Of Saxony genuine close friendship
sprang up. Later. as son OF the mayor
while the worlds fair was on. he made
the acquaintance of many other of the
worlds great folk. among them the
Duke Of veragua. the Marquis Of Bar
boles. Eulalia. the Spanish Infanta. and
Porfirio Diaz. the president OF Mexico
After finishing at Altenburg he pre-
pared for college in Chicago Jesuit
school. after which he went through
Yale and later studied law and was ad-
mitted. His practice never amounted
to much, however. and when his father
was made worlds fair mayor, young
Carter H. took over the fathers real
estate business. and, with his brother
William Preston Harrison, carried 1t
on till the old man bought the Chicago
Times. Their conduct of the paper was
terror to many in Chicago. 1t had

glad enough to sell out, and the paper
is now merged with the Chicago Herald
under the title Of the Chicago Times
Herald.
When they began with the Times
young Carter took the chair Of manag-
ing editor and his brother was made
business manager. After week or two
perhaps a month-each was dissatis-
ded with their job. and they changed
places. Perhaps the resulting eccen-
tricities Of management both upstairs
and downstairs had something to do
with their ultimate abandonment Of the
publishing business.
Carter H. Harrison's chemical inves-
LEGATIONS were mostly conducted when
he was boy. His den used to be in
the cupola Of the family residence. and
he took great delight in monkeying
with explosives and compounds Of
fearful smell. Once friend Of the fam
lily, who was passing the house. was
Mortified BY the sound OF mufled de-
tonation, the crash Of glass and the
splintsring OF wood. Glancing upward
he saw that the cupolA was badly
wrecked, while volumes of black smoke
were pouring from the paneless sashes.

London, March 4.-"The United
States will have every town on the
Spanish coast blown TO atoms, I am
ready to wager. IL month after the be-
ginning of hostilities," said William
Allan, NJ. p. to the New York World
correspondent.
Mr.. Allan represents the Gateshead
division in the House OF Commons, Is
one Of the largest shipbuilders on the
Tyne, and Is an acknowledged high au-
thorlty on naval questions.
The World correspondent had asked
Spain can buy war vessels now build
ing In British yards from the govern
ment which ordered them.
'It would not do Spain any good II
she could buy them" Mr. Allan an
swered. but, except those ordered
by Japan, there are very few orders
In the English yards from foreign gov
ernments, and Japan won't sell.
IL consider thnt America has some
Of the very finest ships afloat, and l
know the American sailors to be as
good as nny in the world.
"Why, Spain is n retrograde-n NOR
ibund nation. II she should snap up
all the warships available all over the
world, she could not give the United
States cause for an instant's concern.
II believe In the grit, tennclty and
fighting capacity of the Anglo-Saxon
races as against these Spaniards, who
nre fed on oil and garlic and are with
out stamina. Why, in the olden days
our buccaneers used to beat them. and
they have not improved since then
