SAN FRANCISCO, March 1S.-Ad-
vices received by the steamer Umatilla
this morning confirm the previous re-
ports of the suffering and death that
prevails at Skaguay.
Among the passengers on the vessel
We're j j. Jones of San Jose, who re-
turned from Alaska disgusted with the
conditions that exist there. Mr.. Jones
says that there are hundreds of pros
pecto~s who have abandoned the idea
of pushing on to the mines or working
about the town, and are leaving Skag-
uay by every steamer. He says that
the weather is bitterly cold at that
point, and strong men are unable TO
live in the rigorous climate. At times
a cold wind blows, and no matter how
warmly the men may be clad, 1t Will
penetrate their clothing.
According to Mr.. Jones, people are
dying at Skaguay every day, and there
are many who desire to leave the place
at once
Mr. Jones says that about forty pros
pectors left for Seattle with him, ow-
ing 10 the intense suffering that must
be endured in the northern town.

SIGNIFICANT
Fresno Republican: The fact that the
House Naval Committee voted to au-
thorize the building of three new bat
tleships seems to us to possess some
significance. We do not believe that
the committee would have voted new
battleships if it had not had infor1na-
ton regarding the cause of the Maine
explosion, and as it is not likely that
the members OF the committee would
have favored the construction of more
vessels of this kind if the disaster had
been the result OF an accident it i'm
presses one very much as if they had
definite information that the explosion
was from the outside, and therefore
caused by design. The delay of the
Naval Board OF Inquiry in making IT'S
report we believe to be part of the
Administrad don's programme the OBJ
Ject being to gain time III which to put
the country in defensive condition
Though the conditions seem to have
improved somewhat, there are circum-
stances which have very ominous
appearance, and it would not be sur
prising If the gentlemen who have been
clamoring for war were soon given an
opportunity 10 prove their patriotism
by deeds as well as by words.
POOLROOMS.
Fresno Republican, Young men and
boys who play the poolrooms are un-
