A Beautiful sight.

Manila Letter TO Deseret Evening News
From a Utah Soldier
But ii is a beautiful sight TO stand be-
hind a few old-timers and watch them
cody and deliberately pick off insurgents
at 1000 yards They do their work in a
very business-like and co.d-blooded fash
ion. Their rifles they handle as Affection
ately and caressingly as a mother handles
her first baby, and the calm way in which
they will argue or bet a dime regarding
the distance of the Filipinos whose brains
they are about 10 blow out Is apt to make
an ordinary mans blood run cold. They
change their elevation at each shot, pick
their man and shoot TO kill. One minute
you see them raise their rifle, squirt along
the barrel, and the next minute you will
probably see a brown patch away In the
distance suddenly leap up in the air and
fall on the ground or drop away out of
sight.

Men FIOcxed to an Alleged Gold
Field Only to Starve.

San Francisco, June 29.--Dr. J. X Stone,
formerly a prominent San Francisco ply
stefan, writes from Kowak river, Alaska,
that the circulars issued by certain trans
portatton companies announcing the Kot-
zebue sound country as the richest gold
fields in Alaska, are totally without foun-
dalton and were issued for the purpose of
inducing people to travel over their lines.
He says $50 men paid $500 each passage
money but none of them have ever found
gold in paying quantities
About half the men have returned to
civilization, and the remainder will do so
If opportunity offers. He says not fifty of
them have means to leave, and unless the
government sends vessel for them many
must die of cold or starvation as the
country produces nothing to sustain life.
A. c. Thees formerly of Seattle, writes
from Kotzebue sound that not bit of
gold has been found. and the question
with the miners there is how to get away.

Seattle, Wash, June 29-United States
Marshal Shoup of Alaska will investigate
the death of the passengers of the steam

Indian suspects to Sitka for trial.
There were eighteen people on board the
Jessie, and it was thought at first that
they had met death by drowning, but
subsequent developments suggested pos

murdered by Indians
Marshal Shoup believes they were muir

he said:
