gents Got the Guns
Washington, April 13.-The war depart
ment officials take a philosophical view
of the reported capture by the insurgents
in the vicinity of Zamboanga of the arms
and armament on the Spanish gunboats
which were to become the property of the
United States.
They say that Gen. Otis has withheld
payment for any of these boats until
they were delivered to him at Manila.
1t is regretted that the insurgents
should possess the guns, but, it is said,
they will not be able 10 secure and keep
on hand a supply OF ammunition for them.
The United States forces have so far
had no trouble with the insurgents on
the Island of Mindanao, and in view of
the suspicious circumstances attending the
capture of these guns. it is apprehended
that some persons, possibly Spanish sym
pathizer with Aguinaldo, have caused the
guns to be sent to him.

Dawson City Burned.

News reached Victoria, B. c., Sunday
OF disastrous fire at Dawson City, Alaska,
which occurred April 81. The entire bust
ness center Of the city is wiped out. The
loss is fully $1,OO0,OOO with not a dollar
OF insurance.
The fire came at time when the mills
and dealers in building materials had ex-
hausted their winter supplies and were
waiting the opening of navigation to re-
plenish their stocks. The result is that
there is famine in all kinds of building
material and furniture. The few articles
still remaining outside of the burned dis
trict have quadrupled in price. Doors are
selling for $35 each, door locks $8 each,
and everything else in proportion. The
town is paralyzed. Nothing can be done
until the opening of navigation, which will
not be for several weeks.
The fire was caused by drunken woman
upsetting lamp in dance hall. None
OF the big warehouses of the Alaska Com
mercial or the North American trading and
Expectation Company were touched by the
fire, SO there will be no shortage of pro-
visions The Bank of British North Amer
lea, with its rather fimsy vault, did not
withstand the heat, and the papers in it
were destroyed. The bank also lost large
amount of gold dust. A rough estimate
places the loss in gold and paper money at
81 100000. Altogether the burned area
comprises quite three-quarters of the area
of Dawson.

Birds of the May Migration.

About the middle of the month of MAY
in New England one can see more birds in
the fields and woods than at any other
time. This is due to the fact that birds
are then at the height OF their migration
northward. They come in waves as rule /;
that is, great many come together when
the wind blows from the southwark or there
is a good moon shining in clear spring
sky. About the middle of May we have
the migration of the warblers and closely
allied species. 1t is then that the tenderer
birds come, such as the scarlet tansger and
orioles.
