Make an Attack on Two 4oaeAy So4o
Seekers
SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.-A special to
the Chronicle from skaguay Of May e0th
says:
A tragedy that may be the forerunner OF
an Indian outbreak took place last Mon
day on McClintock river, which empties
into the lower end of Lake Tagish. While
polling q boat down the river, two white
men, Thomas Fox, formerly Of Juneats
and William Meehan, an old-time Yukoner.
were fred upon by Indians armed with
rifles. At the first discharge Meehan top
pied over dead, with bullet in his heart.
second bullet entered Fox's left breast
above the heart; 1t struck a bone, passing
around his ribs and found exit at the back.
Badly wounded as he was, Fox reached
the shore, making his way through the
woods to the settlement near Lake Tagish-
The Indians were Hootalinqua river sticks,
and Fox thinks there were about eighty in
the band. Most of them appeared to be
armed.

SPANISH OBJECTIONS
Did Not Stop the Alert From Taking
Coal


SAN FRANCISCO. May ga story has
just been told by officers of the U. s. 8.
Alert of the vigorous measures taken by
the old cruiser to secure coal on her recent
trip up from South America. Needing coal
at Acapulco. a Mexican town of which
more than half the inhabitants are Span
ish, the captain applied to the Pacific Mail
Steamship company. He was told that he
could have coal at the rate ef $50 par ton
in gold providing he took it himself, as
the company could not deliver it. The
captain accordingly took possession of a
lighter and sent the ships marine guard 20
protect the coal passers. When they ar
rived at the wharf it was crowded with ma
tives, who attempted to prevent the coal
leaving the docks. The marines cleared
the wharf with a bayonet charge and
then stretched a rope across, loaded their
rifles and instructed the Mexicans that
the first one to cross the rope would be
shot, After that $50 tons were loaded on
the ships without further molestation.
Previous efforts had been made through
the consul to secure coal from the gov
ernment, but without success.

R. Wall of this city today received orders
from the navy department to report to the
commanding officer of the collier Peter
Jebsen (renamed Brutus) purchased in San

ating officer of the Brutus.
Ensign Wall graduated at the naval
academy in 1880 and resigned from the
navy in 1888. He has been connected with
newspapers in Tacoma and Grays Harbor
and for the past four years has been on

Belknap's Opinion
BOSTON, May 26.-Rear Admiral George
E. Belknap, retired. is acknowledged as .
man OF rare experience and ability. He
was one Of the nayy's best tacticians and
knows the West Indian waters thoroughly.
He said last night:
II think II the Spanish squadron is really
blockaded in Santiago harbor that It will
eventually be destroyed by our ships. How
long before this happens is, of course, hard
to tell. In Santiago, Cervera will be all the
while eating up his provisions and there ID
no means by which he can obtain new
supply. ! suppose Cervera knew what he
was doing when he selected Santiago har-
bor. The blockade Of Cervera may last q
long time. If our ships destroy the land
Notifications and make It uncomfortable
for him he may come out and fight, or he
may send his torpedo boat destroyers out
at night, There would be q great danger
from those boats coming out along toward
morning when the crews Of our ships, worn
out BY long watching and constant expecta-
tions are weary and tired. The destroyers
would then have their best opportunity.
They move at such tremendous rate that
1t takes pretty rapid work to train even the
rapid-f1re guns on them. OF course the
searchlights Of the squadron will be directed
upon the channel all the time, but even they
are not infallible.
"Of Charleston, in the maneuvers several
years ago, one OF the torpedo craft slipped
by the blockading squadron without being
detected.
"Cervera's system would be to send out
more than one destroyer-all that he has at
commaud-at the same time. Coming from
different directions our ships would find II
more difficult to resist their deadly force.
"As have said. the blockade may last
long time. Cervera's provisions are rum
ming shorter, however, all the time and he
may be forced to battle. do not believe
he will ever surrender without a battle.
Our ships will have to fight to destroy or
capture him."
An Empty Bottle
MADRID, May 26-The Minister of Ma
rine, Captain Aunn, was asked yesterday
If 1t was true that Americans were blockad-
ing Santiago de Cuba, and he replied:
"It is to be presumed that the Americans
will try to prevent our ships from leav-
ing Santiago de Cuba, but am not certain
whether the Americans arrived in time to
do so. The latest dispatch from Admiral
Cervera on Tuesday announced that all his
vessels were loading COAL"
The general impression here is that Ad-
miral Cervera has left Santiago.
