TWENTY KLONKIKERS DROWNED
ANOTHER DISASTER oVERTAKES
THE GoLD-SEEKERS.
Were Crossing a Mountain Stream On
an Ice Bridge, When It Gave
Way.

San Francisco, Cal, May "a special
to the Examiner from Victoria says:
On Monday last the ice covering a
stream in a defile near Crater Lake
gave way, under the passing throng OF
Nlondikers, and more than a score of
psen We're precipitated into the water
and carried to certain death beneath
the rivers frozen coating.
DR.. ]. T. Frizelle of Los Angeles, who
came dow on the Al XII, who brings
the news, passed the scene only a few
hours after the calamity occurred. 1t
was on the other side of the summit,
between Lindermann and the Long
lake, at a. point in the canyon some IA
miles above Stone House, where an ice
slide over a mountain stream has been
utilized as a path for sleds by the for
tune seekers. A number of men were
advancing in almost unbroken rank,
each hauling his laden sled, when, at
O'Clock in the morning there was
crash. The ice opened for 30 feet or
mere, and in an instant % men, with
their supplies, were whirled down and
under the smooth surface of the stream
to drown without even the chance of
battling for life.
The names of the victims of the ice
break at Frizelle cannot be given.
There is no possibility of identifying
them now, he says, nor can the names
be announced with positiveness until
the bodies are delivered by the stream
at the lake, or the disappearance of the
ice. Four Montana and two California
men are thought to have been among
the victims, while the others included
an eastern party of seven, almost all
being remembered only by the nick
names which western freedom has
given them.

DOUGLASS MURDER TRIAL.
WHOLE DAY SPENT IN SECURING
FIVE JURORS.
A New Drawing of Fifty Names
Made-Defense Alleges the Entire
Panel Is Illegally Drawn.

The case of John D. Douglass, charg-
ed with wife murder, came up yester-
day, and the day was consumed in an
effort to get a jury. By 4:3O all the
panel of 80 was exhausted and only
five jurors had been secured. \ new
drawing of so names was made.
Nearly every juror examined mad
scruples against capital punishment.
There were several challenges from
each side The jurors accepted are:
Edwin Dix, w. g. Smith, George w.
BraE1ewell and John w. Wilson. Six
officers were out last night scurrying
to serve the so summons.
Joseph S. Peery, county attorney, is
assisted by David Evans. John Il.
iBagley and Herbert r. Macmillan rep
resent the defense.
The defendants father sat with his
attorneys, as the defendant himself
seemed to pay little attention to the
case. He seemed moody and detected,
sitting with his face in his hands much
of the time.
( In the beginning of the case. the at
torneys for the defense objected to the
entire jury panel, on the ground that
it was illegally drawn. The contention
of counsel was that the jury commits
.sioaers had taken. office before author
lied to do SO by the new code, and this
invalidated their work. Some testimony
was introduced to show the alleged
facts.
The Jurors who were disqualified to
sit on the case were excused from duty
until the 18th.

AMERICANS KILLED IN CUBA
FATE OF 800 OF OUR CITIZENS
AT MATANzAS.
Consul Brice Appealed to Mckinley,
But No Relief Came-Scenes That
Rival Dante's Inferno.

Chicago, May 9.--Alexander c. Brice,
United States consul at Matanzas. is in
the city, with his family He is on his
way home, to Bedford, Ia, where he
will try to forget the scenes of horror
which, he says, are equaned by nothing
in Dante's Inferno. There will be one
thing, though, that Mir. Brice cannot
forget. He says he was forced to leave
300 citizens of America in Matanzas.
Some of these have already been
slaughtered by the Spanish, he be-
lieves. Others will be. Many will die
of starvation. Mr.. Brice said today:
1.-THE condition of some was as bad
as that of the reconcentrados. The
greater portion of them We're Cubans
by birth, who had been naturalized in
this country, but some were genuine
blue-blooded Yankees.
There were many women in the
number. 1t was impossible for them to
leave. not having money enough even
to buy food.
THE Norwegian captain of the YES
sci on which 1 escaped refused 10 take
the American citizens. Had it been an
