The five Indians are reported to
have been killed on a small island
situated out about mile from the
face of one of the glaciers. They
were in cave and were drowned by
the great rush of water which swept
over the island when the ice rivers
crashed down into the bay. Chief

pressed by the next of kin the bodies

near San Francisco and all unclaimed
bodies brought home from the West
Indies and Atlantic points will be in
tered in the Arlington cemetery near

ested in the disposition of these re-
mains communicate with the bureau
