ARE ORDERED TO THE NORTH
FOUR COMPANIES OF INFANTRY
VIII Go to Alaska as Soon as Trans
pOrtatiOn Is misunderstanding
Mt Vancouver Barracks-DanRe
of Disorder Mt Skaguay and Dyea.

Portland. Or, Feb. l2.-Four COM
panies of the Fourteenth infantry, under
Colonel Thos. M. Anderson, haze been or
dered to start for Alaska at the earliest
possible date, and two more will hold
themselves in readiness to follow at a
moments notice. The order was receiv-
ed at Nancouver's barracks by General
Merriam, commanding the department of
the Columbia, who instantly set about
the preparations for the movement of the
troops. The constantly increasing dan
ger of disorder at Skaguay and Dyea has
led the war department to insure peace
by the presence of force sufficiently
large to hold any disturbance in check
Whether the Fourteenth will be perman-
emily located in Alaska has not vet been
determined, but it seems not unlikely, as
only two companies are left at the post
As soon as the order reached Vancou-
yer barracks, General Merriam and Major
Jacobs his chief quartermaster, came to
Portland to secure, if possible, passage
for the troops on the Oregon. The result
of their interview with Agent Poston was
hoI eHIlIelN SATISFACTORY, Inc laJCef was
not disposed to disappoint those to whom
the accommodations on the Oregon have
been sold, and would make no definite
reply without consulting the officials of
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company
He proposed however, to bring the Aus
tralia, 2200-ton steamship now fitting
for the Alaska trade in San Francisco, to
Portland, to carry the command. plan
which was favorably received, and which
from present indications, will probably
be adopted. In this case the start will not
be made till March. Everything on the
Oregon except 10 berths have been sold,
so that she could be of no service to the
government for the movement of troops.
1t is well understood that in case of urg-
ent necessity, the steamer could be seized,
but such a course is hardly likely to be
taken unless late reports should bring
news of serious trouble in Skaguay or
Dyea Negotiations are also in progress
for the transportation of part of the
troops by way of Puget sound.

A VICTIM OF MORPHINE.
Death of n Once Brilliant Physici.,.
of Louisville.

Louisville, KY, Feb. l5.-Dr. John
Develli, who was found in destitute cir
cumstances, with his daughter, Miss Cora
Develli, in comfortless room on Fast
Main street several weeks ago. died Sun.
day in New Albany sanitarium. Ho
was taken to the Institution a week aoo
to undergo treatment there The officials
did not think it advisable to give him anv
other treatment than to relieve his main
by the use of medicine. His BODY was
almost one mass of sores, caused bv tho
use of hypodermic needle there being
$50 assesses on him when he died These
assesses brought on pyaemia which
caused his death.
Miss Cora Devell, who was taken to
the New Albany sanitarium with her
father, has been steadily improving. and
her physician feels certain that she will
recover her health. Wealthy and innu.
entail friends of her father who reside in
this city have taken her case in hand
and will care for her after recovery.
Develli was for years a prosperous and
respected physician until wrecked by the
morphine and cocaine habits. He was an
Italian by birth, was highly educated and
accomplished and spoke many languages
with great fluency. His learning, no less
than the mystery of his life, which no
doubt died with him. was a constant
source of wonder to those who were
thrown in contact with him. He came to
this city right after the war, though he
is said to have been in Louisville during
the war as a confederate spy. Many
strange stories have been told concerning
him, and especial attention has been call
ed to the sad ending of what once prom
Used to be a brilliant career. 1t has been
said that he was a political exile; that he
killed man in duel in his youth. and
other theories have been advanced to ac-
count for his reticence concerning his
early life.

THAT DE LONE LETTER AGAIN.
No Direct Disclaimer Has Been as
Yet Made by Spain.

New York, Feb, IA special to the
Herald from Washington says
The De LONE incident is still unsettled.
The cipher dispatch received from Min
lister Woodford was not entirely satisfac-
tory. 1t was taken to the president by
Assistant Secretary Day, and after a short
conference between them Nh Day sent
another cablegram to Minister Woodford
Officially nothing will be said about
these two communications further than
that the incident is not yet entirely closed
1t is said that Minister Woodford's cable
was a report of his interview with the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs. which
showed that no direct disclaimer had been
made by Spain of that feature of the De
! LONE letter which has been interpreted to
indicate the insincerity of the Spanish
government in the matter of autonomy
and in the negotiations for a commercial
treaty.
Absence of such disclaimer is not en-
tirely satisfactory to the president. Mr.
Mckinley believes that when the Spanish
minister of foreign affairs fully appreci
ates the Interpretation which has been
put upon De Lome's letter in some quar-
ters in the United States, he will hasten
to disavow it. Minister Woodford has
been told in a positive way what the presi
dent would like to have done. In other
words, it is said he will use delicate diplo-
macy to secure the end desired. and the
president is sincere in the belief that an
other interview between Minister Wood
ford and the minister for foreign affairs
in Madrid will end the whole trouble.
As far as that feature of the De Lone
letter criticising the president is con,
cerned, the incident is closed.
