Two Asiatic sa uadrons.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The difficulty
in securing suffi cient number of sail
ors to man the new battleships and
other naval craft which are being turned
out by our shipbuilders has led to the
renewal in some quarters of the sugges-
tion that some of the larger vessels Of
Admiral Watson's squadron be with
drawn from the Philippines to make up
the compliments of the new ships at
home. 1t is stated at the navy depart
ment, however, that no action in that
direction has been determined upon and
in view of the expected arrival on the
Asiatic station within fortnight Of
Admirals Remy and Kempff and the
ensuing division of the naval force on
the station into two squadrons it is not
contemplated thar any change will be
made.

troops Prevent Lynching of a Dozen
Alaska Indians.
VANCOUVER, B. c., April 1O.-Stirring
scenes followed the arrest Of IL Indians
Tor the murder of Bert Horton and his
wife, near Sullivan island, Alaska. The
steamer Clutch, which arrived here yes
terday from Skagway, brings the story
OF an attempted rescue of the Indian
prisoners at lHaines' Mission by 100
|: young bucks, all armed, to repel whom
the troops stationed at Skagway were
called out and the Indians driven off
without loss.
At the preliminary examination Of the
prisoners it was shown that the Chilcats
had first put the husband to death, sub.
sJ4cting him to many atrocities, and dur.
itg the following week had kept Mrs.
Aorton a prisoner. repeatedly abusing
her before killing her.
The greatest Indignation prevailed at
Skagways and an organized attempt was
& made to lynch the prisoners. This,
however, was prevented by the troops,
who successfully guarded the Jail.
There are now IL Indians in jail await
ing trial, charged with the murder of
the Horizons or completely therein. It
seems that the Indians thought they
could commit murder with impunity,
because an Indian named Tom recently
! returned from McNeil's island who had
been pardoned while serving 1O-year
sentence for killing a white man.

Towne a Candidate for Vice Pras,dant.

M1NNEAPoL1s. April 1O.-The Journal
says: Former Congressman Charles A.
Towne of Duluth is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for vice presi-
dent. Judge Caldwell Of Arkansas has
declined to permit the use of his name
in that connection, and Towne's candi-
dacy is predicated on the Judges decli-
nation. 1t is asserted that Bryan would
be glad to have Towne for q running

which would later indorse the Demo-
cratic ticket at Kansas City. If this
proves impossible, he will push for the
nomination Of Bryan and Towne al

cate that the full effect Of the immense

Advices from the area surrounding the

effect that there has been some loss OF

family of six Italians and two negro
families. 1t may be that they have es-
