Nunivak island, the Indian wife of a
hunter and trader named Marsten re.
turned to Nunivals from Kuskowim
where she had been visiting relatives,
and reported that when the steamer
Jessie and barge Minerva went ashore
in the breakers, large number of In
dians were on the beach and rendered
assistance in getting the whites ashore
and saving supplies from the barge.
After being comfortably camped, the
Indians demanded "a large portion Of

Islands.

State of Anarchy Said Exist the
Islands.
Washington, Nov l9.-At a session
of the cabinet much time was devoted
to the consideration of complaints that
have reached the war department al
leging that a state of practical an
archy prevails in Puerto Rico. These
complaints asserted that the lawless
elements are committing depredations
of the gravest character, and that the
seriousness Of the situation is increased
by the fact that United States troops
likewise have been guilty of gross mis-
conduct.
Secretary Alger, at the instance of
the president, cabled General Brooke
inquiring as to the accuracy Of the
complaints.
The most serious allegations are
against brigands and lawless elements
in the smaller towns away from the
coast. 1t is said that, taking advan.
tage of the unsettled state of the coun.
try, due to the transfer of the govern
ment from Spain to the United States.
bands of men have organized for rob
berry and rapine, burning houses and
plantations, and levying tribute upon
the people wherever possible. In one
case, it is said they made raid on a
small town of about 800 inhabitants,
fifteen miles from the nearest troops,
and burned and destroyed property to
a considerable value.

to be an open violation of the treaty.

paled her, killing her instantly. Her
companion, Miss Allen, was struck
about the shoulders and head by the
unwieldy bow of the Chinese vessel,
and she was terribly cut and lacerated,
She fingered in pain for the greater
part of a day in the Yokohama hos.
pital and died on July 30, few hours
before the Victoria sailed.

SIZE OF THE PEACE ARMY.
President Canvassing Public senti-

of the Country.

Washington, Aug. 16.-President
Mckinley is canvassing public senti-
ment as to the needs of military or
ganization in the time of peace, and
has consulted a number of visitors as
to how much of the army should be
kept up after the treaty of peace is
executed. No conclusion has been
reached as yet on this point, but it is
receiving considerable attention on
the part of the administration. Gov.
Shaw, of Iowa, was one of the few
prominent visitors at the white house
Monday.
The reconstruction of affairs in Gu
ba. Puerto Rico and throughout the
Spanish West Indies is receiving ear
nest consideration in official quarters,
and at the white house Monday the
president saw number of prominent
callers in reference to this reconstruc-
tion in our new insular dependencies.
Gen. Eitzhugh Lee spent some time with
the president going over the condition
of Cuban affairs. While no announce
ment was made the impression pre-
vailed that Gen. Lee would be one of
the Cuban military commissioners to
be named within a few days. Acting
Secretary Allen, of the navy, also saw
the president concerning Cuban af-
fairs. 1t is probable that an American
naval vessel will go to Havana harbor
before long, and a least two naval yes
sells will be ordered to Havana when
the military commission assemblies
there to determine upon the details
