The events of the last week
have developed the fact that GER
tain persons are making a bust
ness of selling liquor to indians
in violation of the law. The
government officials have shown
a determination to prosecute all
such persons to the end that this
ordinarily peaceful community,
may be swept clear of such law
breakers. This move on the
part OF the officials is worthy OF
the hearty support of the entire
community. No doubt exists but
what the fire of last week was
due entirely to a drunken indian
brawl, and the fact that Wrangel
is not now city of the past, is
due to the fact, that there was
no wind blowing on the evening
of the fire. 1t is not safe to again
trust to a kind Providence alone.
The citizens must see to it that
the indians do not get liquor.
In the prosecution OF this work,
no donbt some innocent persons
will be accused of the crime, but
such accusation does not make
them guilty. Due consideration
must also be made of the fact
that an indian who will buy
whisky, is morally at least, an
accessory to the crime, and the
oath of such an indian, should
not alone, amount to much, but
where the crime is clearly proven
no mercy should be shown. It
is a great relief to know that
there are some reputable dealers
in Wrangel who conduct their
business in decent orderly man
ner, and as nearly as possible,
comply with the law. Such per-
sons should not be molested so
long as they conduct their bust
ness in a proper way. The next
session of congress will begin
soon and no doubt prompt action
will be taken to change the pres
ent odious liquor law of Alaska.

SPANS PENALTY FOR WAR.
What She has Lost Tersely Told
In Cold Figures.

Spain for the sake Of false pride,
bigotry, politics and child king, has
buried in the depths of the sea 81 YES
sells of her navy, valued at s36, 500, 900.
BY their rusting hulks lie the bodies OF
more than Thousand gallant tars.
Spain has surrendered in territory to
the United States directly, Cuba, with
a population of l, SOC, 600 and an area Of
$4,000 square miles, and Porto Rico,
with an area of $3.50 square miles and
u population of $40, 600; also the Ladrone
islands, area Alt square miles and a
population Of 1900.
Her total direct loss OF territory in
square miles is 49,0S7, and in population
2,325, 900.
She has also jepardized, probably be-
yond all future control by her, the
Philippine islands, with an area of 114,-
1926 square miles and population of
100000.
So that in the end it appears that the
Spanish kingdom, for the sake of the
wrong, has given up $4,000 square
miles of territory and over 10000, 600 of
tax paying population.
This loss is the gain of the United
States, which to bring it about, placed
in service first class navy, with 10000
men and so effective vessels, and vol
unteer and regular army of 27S, 500 men,
of which New York gave the largest
number, Pennsylvania the next and
Illinois the third.
The Spanish Ell Nacional comedies
that in the destruction of Cervera's fleet
Spain lost alone $40, 200, 900 of invested
money.
The estimated trading capacity of the
territory of Spain which the United
States has taken is placed at 5000, OOO,-
600 per annum at the present time, and
that must be tributary to American
Golfers and not to the blood-stalned ones
