TROUBLES IN ALASKA FEARED
Food Riots Looked For-Troops to be
Sent There.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 1.-THE
Call says:
Serious trouble in interior Alaska is
apprchcnded by the United States Coy
eminent.
Food riots are feared ut Fort Yukon
and other up-river points, growing out
of the failure of Transportation com
panies TO get Supplies in there on the
prevailing low water.
Acting on instructions received from
Washington Major General Merriam
will quickly dispatch Il battery of ar
tillcry to st. Michacls. the officer in
charge having orders to proceed at once
up the Yukon River to Fort Yukon and
omen military post for the coming
winter. The expedition will also carry n
large quantity of extra provisions aud
supplies to relieve distances. When St.
Michaels is reached, the commanding
officer will promptly levy on any river
boats he may find. Selling them if neceS-
sary, and will transport his troops and
supplies to their destination with all
possible Dispatch. A form of military

THE CASE OF PORTO RICO
WILL BE UNDER A MILITARY
GOVERNOR TEMPORARILY.
CONGRESS WILL DETERMINE ITS FUTURE
President has no Authority to go Beyond the
Preliminary Stage in Such Matters
Believed he Favors Colonial
Eor,,, &C
Form of Government.

Washington, ID. c., August 11.-Plans
for the temporary government Of Cuba
and the territory which will be acquired
from Spain rs a result of the war, are
pcsidcnt and the members of the Cabi-
net. Porto Rico, rs an actual acquisi-
ton to the territory of the United
States. will be placed in charge of It
military governor, who w&l exercise Il
supervisory control of all the functions
of government, under the direction of the
President, until Congress shall determine
upon Il permanent form of government
for the island. The President under
the Constitution and laws has no au-
thority to go beyond this preliminary or
temporary stage in the establishment
of any system of government control,
although it is altogether probable that
in his message TO Congress on the sub
jet he will exercise his constitutional
privilege of making recommendations.
Upon Congress alone deyolve the re-
sponsibility and duty of determining the
character of the political relations which
Porto Rico shall permanently bear to
the United States. There are reasons
for the belief that the President him
self favors colonial form Of govern
ment, and that this view is shared by
members of the Cabinet. Canada is
cited as having Il model colonial gov
ernment which is satisfactory alike to
Il majority of its people and to the
mother country This system, however,
is haI In int
only after the lapse of considerable
period of time, and after the people
have demonstrated satisfactorily their
ability to govern themselves intclligently
in all local matters. Upon the evacua-
ton of Cuba it is believed to be the in
tcntion of the President to establish for
the whole island Il temporary military
government similar to that now in opera
ton in Santiago.
When order has been fully restored and
the people have settled down to their
peaceful occupations it is believed to
be the view of the President that CON
vention of representatives of the people
should be called to vote upon the qtics-
ton of form of government for the ISL
and. The presence of the army of the
United States would be a guarantee that
every citizen who would subscribe to an
oath binding himself to support what
ever form Of government should be
agreed upon, should have the unqucStion-
ed right to vote for whomsoever he
pleased to represent him at this con
vention. The action of this body, how
ever. would have to be submitted to the
United States for approval or disap-
prevail. 1t is pointed out that this CON
yention of representatives of the whole
people in the free exercise of their
choice might express Il wish to become a
colonial dependency of the United States,
or might favor Il republican form Of
government, or possibly majority
might ask to be annexed to the United
Sthtes. In any of these contingencies.
il is believed that their wishes would
meet the approval of the President and
his advisors.

Slaves Down in FlOrida.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The old fake regarding the possession of
negro slaves by the Florida Seminole In
dams was recently revived by the New
York World, and the same has since been
reprinted in The Star and other papers
The substance of the article in question
is contained in two paragraphs, as follows:
Before the late war they (the Seminoles)
had their negro slaves. and today they have
slaves, though the white planter had to give
his up over a third of d century ago. .
That slavery does exist among the Sem
mole Indians of Florida is susceptible of
unequivocal proof. That the United States
government should interfere, and at this
late day enforce to the full the freedom
granted the colored man by the proclama-
ton of Abraham Lincoln, is just as I'M
doubted"
Since the appearance of the article in
your paper l have frequently been asked if
there was any truth in the writer's claim
To all such inquiries my reply has been,
Not an iota of truth; the Seminoles have
no slaves amongst them"
A few details on this point NAV prove Of
interest. The total number of these In
dians-as near as can be ascertained for
they are scattered over a wide extent of
wildernesS-is in the neighborhood of 400
persons. They have settlements in Breyard
Dade and Lee counties the largest number
being in the latter. Living with the In
dams are six or seven persons, all told, who
have more or less negro blood in their
veins. They are recognized as members
of the tribe. They spend their own earn
ings, and, in truth, are as free and as in
dependent to go and come as any colored
man in the District of Columbia. There is
one full-blooded negro woman in the Big
Cypress settlement, Lee county. She has
a son, now about twenty-five years Of age
by an Indian. The woman has no other
children.
1 hope The Star will now give publicity
to this, the "other side of the story" for
the Florida Seminoles are a moral, self
supporting and law-abiding people, who for
the past forty years have given the white
people no just cause for complaint against
them. CHARLES H. COE.
