SEATTLE March 22-The steamer
Faralon arrived this morning from
Skaguay, which port she left last FRI
day night. Her passengers report every
thing quiet at Dyea and Skaguay.
There is no martial law in force they
say, neither is there any necessity for it.
People are going over the trails without
any friction. The warm weather has
rendered the Skaguay trail somewhat
mushy. This is causing considerable
delay. There has been no trouble over
Brackets wagon road which is yet in
an unfinished condition. The Farallons
passengers think there VIII be no diff
Guilty in collecting toll on it when it is
finished, if it will tighten the burdens
of the trail. At Dyea wagons are being
used as far as Sheep Camp. There is a
great congestion of freight, though.
None of the proposed tramways are YET
in operation, and the freight is being
Slowly carried to the summit on men

LETTER FROM GOVERNOR BRADY.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Secre-
tary Bliss submits to the public an in
teresting letter from Governor John q.
Brady, containing the observations
made by him while on his annual trip
Of inspection to the various points On
the coast aboard the L. S. S. Wheeling.
While passing up the Lynn Canal the
Governor says the officers of the ship
saw piece of wreckage which was at
terward ascertained to be part Of the
Inflated steamer Clara Nevada, Of
whose crew or passengers not one was
left to tell the tale. Special attention,
the executive says, should be paid 10
vessels navigating the Yukon, the trat-
fiC on which is so large that the ten
dency is to take great risks.
The Wheeling, after leaving Dyea,
called at the village at the north of
Chicago Island, called Hoonah. Here
one of the leading men Of the village
had been accidentally killed by a child
years of age. The people never take

PEOPLE responsible and demanded repair
alton, which was given, body of 300
men thoroughly armed going to a IA
tive village near KiilisnOo, at which
place the child'S mother and her people
belonged, thus compelling them to turn
over many blankets, trunks and money.
They severely admonished the natives
and told them their old customs would
not be tolerated.
From this point the Wheeling pro-
ceeded to Yakutat, where upon inves-
LEGATION it was found that nearly ev
erything that had been reported to the
Navy Department regarding the con-
dition of affairs there were correct.
The Governor has considerable to say
about the practice of witchery, which
seems to exist to a considerable extent
in that part of the country. He tells
Of man and two women who were
bound and tied for bewitching a man.
On the ninth day the bound man was
released, and as he had had nothing
to eat, he was in a fearful physical con-
dition. The Governor spent some time
talking to these people, and. after ex-
planning the laws of the United States,
told them that in the future he would
not deal leniently with those who had
practiced witchcraft. Captain Sebree
Of the Wheeling had his men practice
with the guns of the vessel as useful
object lesson to the natives.
There We're about a dozen miners at
Yakutat waiting to proceed to the head
of Disenchantment Bay. Then they
were to cross over the glacier to the
Olsut River, where they intended to
prospect and afterwards proceed to the
White River and get back to the St
Elms range of mountains.
The Wheeling returned to Sitka. Her
cruise, in the Governors opinion, has
done a great good to the natives, as
they dreaded a gunboat more than
anything else. He says he is convinced
it is time to take the natives vigorously
in hand and break UP their witchcraft
distilling of rum and manufacture OF
beer, and compel them to conform to
our laws in all respects. The native
who commits murder or any crime on
another native does not escape with
the punishment that this Government
metes out, but is held accountable also
under the tribal customs. The execu-
tive concludes by saying that if backed
up by the good viii and force of the
Navy Department he feels he can do
much to eradicate existing conditions
during his term of office.

through process after process, until
the sugar ready for the market is
sacked. Ordinarily the sugar in a beet
will be sugar in a sack in about II
hours, it being dried by steam. There
is a commodious basement in the west
end of the building for storing sugar,
and on the north side the warehouse is
being constructed, 90 by 152 feet in di-
mansions.
To the south side of the main build
ing is the lime kiln and boiler house.
Immense quantities of lime are used in
the refining process, and it is burned
on the ground, because the gas is also
utilized.
A fine lighting plant is a feature of
the factory. The factory will make all
its own power, as it is compelled to
generate about 1,200-horse power any
way for the sole purpose of using the
steam. About 10C-horse power is all it
requires for mechanical purposes.
The work has been done under the
supervision of General Manager Joseph
Clark, Mr.. Dyer personally superin-
tending the putting in of the machin-
cry furnished by the firm of Dyer
Bros. In this connection it is pleasing
to know that Mr.. Dyer, who is ia

plete factory that he knows of.

received further reports from the Off
GERS in charge of the captured Spanish
arms at Santiago. They show that the
number taken will be about $4,000, with
several million" rounds of ammuni-
ton, the exact number not stated. The
reports say that these arms are Maui
sers and Remingtons and for the most
part are in bad condition, rusty and
badly kept, The arms will be sent to
New York and Springfield, to be clean
ed up and examined critically. Ord
nance officers say if they can be put in
proper condition they will be made use
of by the army.

London, Aug. 24.-According to dis
patch from Madrid to a local news
agency, there has been serious fighting
between the Spaniards and insurgents
in Cuba, in which the insurgents lost
500 killed and wounded. The report
cannot be confirmed from other sources.
New York, Aug. PA dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says: There
is a growing feeling OF irritation, which
has been discussed fully in ministerial
circles, at the failure of the insurgents
10 respect the protocol and the order
for a cessation of hostilities. An I'M
portant political parsonage, speaking
of the situation, said:
IF matters are continued thus, Spain
will find herself compelled 20 stop the
repatriation of the Cuban troops unless
the United States could give guaran-
tees that Spanish interests viii be safe
guarded from the piratical inclination
of the insurgents
The matter is at such a point that if
the insurgents continue hostihties the
government, according TO a most i'm
portant ministerialist, will give orders
to the Spanish troops to take the Of
fensive against those insurgents who
do not respect the protocol.
In an interview, Mr.. II. S. RubenS,
counsel for the Cuban delegation, said
that it was posi- Die that small bandS OF
Cubans were still fighting in the in
terror of Cuba. There are no telephone
or telegraph wires running over the
island, and he thought it was possible
that some of the bands were not aware
of the cessation Of hostilities. He was
-S.Nre, however, that wherever the news
OF the protocol had been carried, the
Cubans would cease fighting.
Madrid, Aug. 24.-The government
definitely denies that it has sent an
order to General Blanco instructing
him to resume hostilities against the
insurgents.
General Blanco has full liberty to act
as occasion may require.
Washington, Aug. 24.-The represen-
tatives of the Cubans in the United
States are still making every effort to
secure the DISARMAMENT of the Cuban
forces and acQuiescence in the policy of
the United States in Cuba. Letters are
being sent and arguments made to the
Cuban leaders, pointing out that the in
terests of the Cubans lie in co-opera-
ton with the United States authorities.
Little or no information has been re-
ceiVed as to what effect these repre-
sensations will have upon the leaders
in Cuba, but it is believed that AMIGA
BILE relations can be brought about
when the CubanS are persuaded that it
is TO their interest to accept the situa-
ton as the protocol leaves it.

REPORT FROM GARCIA.
Cuban Generals Operations After He
Left Shafter.

New York, Aug 24.-The following
report from General Garcia was re-
ceived at the Cuban junta today. The
report was addressed to President t.
Estrada Palma:
'.Gibara. Aug. 3.-On the 10th of July
1 held the last conference with the
American general, Shafter. He IN
formed me that the American troops
had captured Santiago de Cuba. Aware
that my troops were no longer needed

ASsry much in other places still occu-
pied by the enemy, L so informed Cen
eral Shafter. He asked me to delay

.'On the 18th. while encamped in
San Pedro de Cocum, 1 learned that
General Luque had evacuated this
town, and that General Luis de Feria,
with the troops under him, had occu-
pied it. The Spanish left in the hos
pitfalls over 900 sick and wounded, whom
1 have provided with beef.
There is perfect order in the town.
New municipal authorities have been
elected, and everything is working reg
ularly. The United States steamship
Nashville was in the harbor when 1
entered. l requested its commander
to ask his government to open this
port to foreign commerce, or with the
United States, at least, for there is
great scarcity of provisions. The
Spaniards took everything they could.

iards left Mayari we defeated them,
capturing their convoy, consisting of
500 rifles. 10000 Remington and Maui

LIVELY SESSION OF CATHOLICS
German Delegates Criticised For Neg
Letting the Convention.

Milwaukee Wis, Aug 24.-The Ger
man Roman Catholic Central society's
proceedings were somewhat exciting
today. There was a great deal Of crit
icism with reference to the manner in
which some Of the delegates conducted
themselves, it being charged that in
stead of attending the meetings. they
have been prone to stay away and have
a good time, at the expense of the So
cieties they represent. An effort was
made to cure this in the revision of
the constitution, but it was defeated
for want of a practical plan. An effort
was also made to facilitate the work of
future conventions by cutting down the
religious services. One of the delegates
who favored this proposition was
roundly Kissed for several of his utter

lions will be entirely discretionary with

the committees in charge of the future
convention. A strong effort was made
to secure an amendment to the con-
stitution so as to provide for a ritual
for the societies, particularly for mi
tiating purposes. 1t was decided that
each society shall regulate the recep-
ton of new members according to cir
cumstances and unhindered by cold
ritualistic rites. An amendment pro-
viding for semi-annual sessions was re-
jected, and a plan to send delegate to
Germany to represent the verein at the
convention of the German society also
failed This was intended as a compli-
ment TO DIR. Lieber.
The constitution was also amended
so as to provide for the appointment of
a committee to revise the constitution
of the widows and orphans fund, and
this will be done at the next session
1t is very likely that the next conven-
ton will be held in st. Paul.

The sugar factory is nearing compile
ton. The heavy work of construction
has been done and the great plant will
soon be in place. 1t can now be stated
positively that the factory will be
finished in time for the beet crop, and
by Sept. Is sugar will be in process of
manufacture right here at home.
The record of its construction has
been remarkable. Nothing like it in
the way Of speed and thoroughness has
ever been accomplished before in Utah,
and it is doubtful if the record has
been equaled in this country. Active
work has been in progress only about
100 days, minus the Sundays.
In that time over 10000 brick have
been placed and no carloads of ma
chinery put in position. OF the ma
chinery, there are several crystaEzers,
weighing 20 tons each. In the main
building foundation, 1900 perch of
stone have been used, 400 perch in the

the beet sheds is just east of the main
building. The plant has a capacity of
$50 tons of beets daily, which means
from 50 to 40 tons of sugar.
The building is so constructed as to
admit the plants capacity being
doubled without any addition to the
building itself. Manager Clark expects
the crop tributary to this factory to
yield about $4,000 tons this season. A
much heavier crop was expected from
the acreage planted, but the drought
will cause the decrease. AS it is the
yield in tonnage exceeds the tonnage of
all other crops in this section which
have to be moved, and consequently the
question of better roads leading to the
factory is being agitated. A commit
tee of Hooper citizens was out Tues
day with Commissioner Harmon Sc
lecting a route from Hooper to the fac
tory, which will be put in good shape
at once.
