DAILY inter OCEAN,
Always ::::::::''. {: E:!;::::: E::::::'' :::::

The Inter Ocean has been for 26
years the stalwart republican news
paper of the west. It has taught
more battles for principle than any
other newspaper in the United States.
1t began its career as a supporter Of
General Grant in 1872, when all
other republican papers in Chicago
went over to the enemy. 1t has
taught the battle Of Americanism in
every campaign as earnestly and ef-
fectively as 1t taught the slanderers
of our army and the defamers OF
our president in the campaign Of '9S.
The Inter Ocean is now better
newspaper than ever before. 1t has
unparalleled facilities for gathering
Foreign news, Western news, Illinois
news. 1t has the ablest corresponds
ents in the field with every division
of the army, in Cuba, in Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines, and with
every squadron and feet in foreign
waters. 1t has men of affairs, well
informed MS to politics, in every cap
ital in Europe, and enterprising cor
respondents in Africa and Asia. 1t
is absolutely fearless in telling the
truth, and the publication of the news
is not influenced by editorial opinion.
Among the special features of the
daily Inter Ocean are:
The Holland Letter, from New
York, published every day. This is
written by one of the best posted and
most intelligent observers in the east.
The Matthew Marshall Letter,
published overy onday morning, q
review of the financial and commer>
cial situation, by gentleman we'll
informed rs to all the discussions
and operations on Wall street.
A sporting department which cov-
ers more satisfactorily than any other
newspaper the whole field OF running
trotting, baseball, football, golf, ten
mis-, boating, boxing, etc.
Financial, commercial and insur-
auce departments, giving news and
Intelligent comment not only from
Chicago. but all other business Gen.
ters.
A literary feature is the publication
Of series of vivid serial stories ap-
pcaring every day.
Tho daily Inter Ocean publishes
more news than any other Chicago
daily. 1t has the ablest and strong
est editorials and the greatest va
riety Of literary and special matter.
1t is always American and always
republican.

lEAGuERS ARRESTED.

Max Regis. the former JeW-haiting

NATIVES WERE SUFFERING.
Relief Was Rendered by the Revenue
Cutter Grant,


Seattle. Aug. ia private letter
from Captain Slamm of the revenue
cutter Grant, now with the sealing pa
troll in the Bering sea, states that the
inhabitants of Attou island were found
by him in straitened circumstances, but
in no immediate danger of starvation.
The inhabitants. numbering 73, % men
and so women and children, were in a
pitiable condition. Many of the child
rem were practically naked, and their
elders We're but little better off. All
were dependent for bodily warmth upon
the common practice of huddling five
or six together in their "barabasos"
or native huts.
The only fuel on the island is a
scant supply of driftwood. The crew
of the Grant gave the people all their
spare clothing. The people were also
suffering from lack of salt. This re-
suited in much sickness. and for a
while the physician of the Grant was
kept busy dispensing medicines. The
Grant furnished the inhabitants ra-
tions. They had a very good supply of
fish, roots and berries.
Attou island has in the past been IA
nous as a source of blue fox skins
and fortunes have been made in their
traffic, but the traders, and not the
natives, have made the money. The
foxes have all been killed off and the
population is diminishing year by year
The remainder are, strange to say,
quite content with their lot. never hav-
ing known anything better, and cling
fondly to the bleak, frozen island.
which hardly affords them a means of
sustenance, and which is often the
scene of furious earthquakes and land
slides.
While cruising in Bering sea the
Grant had two objects in view, a
search for any possible survivors of
the lost steamer Pelican and the study
of ocean currents in Berng sea and
vicinity, for which purpose bottles
We're thrown overheard containing in
structions to the finders to forward
them to Washington.
Ten sealing vessels were on the
ground when Captain Slamm wrote
and the arrival of about 10 more was
expected.

TYPHOON AND MUTINY
Will Delay the Arrival of the Colorado
Volunteers.

San Francisco, Aug. 13.-From advices
to-day it is believed that the Warren,
bringing the Colorado regiment, which
sailed from Manila July 16 and which was
expected to arrive on Tuesday next. will
not reach this port earlier than next Fri
day, the 18th inst.
After leaving Manila the Warren ran
up against a typhoon. which battered he-
up considerably, and had to face a mu-
tiny among the firemen. As a result "A
of the Warren's crew underwent trial and
were sentenced to terms varying from
three months to three years and the War
rem is sailing to San Francisco with a
crew of Filipinos.
With novices to do the coal passing and
firing, it is believed that the ira tEpOrtS
engineers may not be able to obtain the
ships normal speed and it is estimated
that she will be at least two days longer
than was expected in making this port.
The mutiny on the Warren occurred on
July II. The members of the crew found
guilty of insubordination are now serv-
ing out their sentences in the Bilibid pris-
on, some times called the Bastile of Ma
Mia. The cause of the trouble is ex-
planned by Fred Jones of Company G. 1st
