Colon, Colombia, Oct. l0.-(Previ-

"A force OF Liberals numbering at
least $50 attacked MORO island, COM
manding the entrance to the port of
Tumaco, September "a. The island
had all along been garrisoned with
less tnan 100 troops, we'll supplied
with arms and ammunition and COM
missary stores, including more than
l50 head of cattle and other provis-
ions in proportion. The landing
was effected before daybreak by means
of canoes.
simultaneously the island was
stormed from the other end by Lib
erals on the mainland. MORO island
is surrounded by shallow sand banks,
and the only means Of approaching
Tumaco is by the narrow river which
is within easy range of the island.
The British steamer Quito, bound
from Guayaquil for Panama, and touch
ing at ports between, anchored off
MORO island the night of September
26, and weighing anchor at daybreak
started up the stream toward Tumaco.
The rebels fired a shot across her
bows. Suspecting the situation she
Immediately turned, but rife shots
and one cannon continued to be fired
at her, the former striking her several
times; and the latter once, making a
hole right through her above the
water mark. though the damage in
other respects was slight. The Quito
then steamed to the farthest point
the tide would permit and again an
chored. The firingswas now resumed,
but it ceased after few moments, the
Liberals having discovered the i'm
prudence of their action.
1t is significant that shortly after
the Quito incident became known the
British ship Icarus left Panama for
q destination not made public, but
presumably Tumaco. The steamship
agents have been officially notified not
to accept freight at the port.
The situation on the isthmus is
unchanged and quiet.

IMMIGRATION REPORT
About Half the Passengers Arriving Car
Neither Read Nor Write.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The annual
report of Thomas Fitch, commission
er of immigration at New York, has
been received at the treasury depart
ment. The report shows that the
number of aliens who arrived during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1901,
was 453, 496. There were also 49,
056 citizens of the United States who
arrived from abroad. From COM
parison of the steerage immigration
for the last two years it is shown that
nearly $4,000 OF the increase of last
year over the year before was in the
immigration from Southern Italy
alone. The number of returning
alien residents stands at 10 6 per cent
of the total immigration. In the
amount of money brought per capita
there appears to be an appreciable in
crease over last year. but the report
says
"The conclusion unfortunately is
unavoidable that our immigration is
constantly increasing in fliteracy.
Not only are we drawing more and
more from the countries were illiteracy
is high but also the immigrants
themselves are showing higher per
centages of illiteracy. Nearly ono
half Of our steerage immigrants now
present an illiteracy of from 40 to
over so per cent"

INTENSE COLD OF WINTER.
Commander Randall Says Troops Dsterlorats
in the Climate.

Washington, Oct. l0.--The war de-
partment has made public the annual
report OF Brigadier General George
M. Randall, commanding the depart.
ment Of Alaska. General Randall
lays much stress on the rigors of an
Alaskan winter. The cold he says is
intense and continues SO from No
vember to April, with severe and fre-
quent billiards.. There is no dock
age for ocean vessels at the supply
port, Fort st. Michael, and all sup
plies must be lightered from ships in
the open. If the weather is rough
the work Of lightering becomes i'm
possible
General Randall says that the
most important work in the depart
ment, after providing for the housing
and supply Of troops, was that Of con-
structing the military telegraph line
and military road through Alaska.
The total length OF the line construct
ed up to August Is was about 400
miles.
The work is being pushed as fast
as possible, and by the close OF navi-
CATION this year it is hoped that tel
egraphic communication between
Fort st. Michael and Fort Gibbons,
420 miles distant, will have been es-
tablished. The constructing OF these
lines, General Randall says, is attend
ed with many dicffiulties peculiar
to an Arctic climate.
Owing to the isolation OF army posts
and to the lack of facilities for in
struction in drill and for converting
court-martial, General Randall says,
troops left to serve there for several
years must deteriorate in military eff
cheney. He, therefore, recommends
that troops stationed in Alaska be
relieved every two years, and that
only men with more than two years
to serve be ordered there. In con-
clusion General Randall says: "The
location OF department. headquarters
in Alaska for the past year is be-
lieved to have had a pronounced ben
eficial effect toward the protection
of person and property and the estab-
lishment of good order in the terri
tory. This has been accomplished
without friction with the civil au-
thorities, and in harmony, it is
thought, with the sentiment of all
law-abiding and self-respecting citi-
zens. "

ALASKA POSTAL STATION.
NOrthsmOst Office in the World Established
AT Point Barrow.

Washington, Oct. 8.-Postoffice In
spector John P. Clum has returned
from a trip of inspection through
Alaska. He has reported to the de-
partment that the service generally
is in excellent condition, more par
ticularly in the Yukon valley, where
the various towns have a mail service
of once week in each direction. He
established the northernmost post
Office in the United States and what
is probably the northernmost post
Office in the world. This is at Point
Barrow, where Rev. DIR. H. Rich
mond Marsh, the missionary at the
little settlement, was appointed post
master. This place, where the north
ernmost newspaper in the world is
published once a year, will receive
the mails once a year by the United
States revenue cutter. Heretofore,
the few whites in the vicinity have
had to send for their mail 700 miles,
and often much further.

INSPECTION is FAULTY.
Engineering Experts Report on Condition Of
Brooklyn Bridge.

Brooklyn Bridge.
New York, Oct. 8.-District attor-
ney Philbin has made public the re-
port of Edwin Duryea and Joseph
Mayer, the special engineering experts
appointed by him to look into the
condition of the Brooklyn bridge after
the breaking of several suspender rods
and suspender bands July "a last.
These experts were appointed to
make this report with a view to pre-
senting the matter to the grand jury,
if it should be found that the bridge
department had been negligent. The
experts found that the inspection of
the structure, as maintained by the
bridge department is faulty, but that
the bridge is now practically as strong
as when completed. One trouble is
that the moving loads which cross
the bridge have increased so rapidly
that the structure must be strength
ened. The accident OF July "a is
found to have been due to the wind
pressure blowing against the plat
form cars, causing a pressure trans
verse to the bridge, thus causing the
rods to bend. Had careful inspection
been maintained, the bending and
breaking would have been prevented.
The experts maintain that the in
spection OF the brigde should be done
by engineers, and not by mechanics,
as at present. They find that the
safety Of the bridge can be increased
by remedying the certain defects in
the design. They hasten to say, how
ever, that they do not criticise the
designer, and call attention to the
fact that since his structure was de-
signed, great advancement has been
made in such work.

RANSOM TO BE PAID.
Money for Miss Stones Release to be Ad
vanced by United States.

Paris, Oct. 10.-A letter received. by
the Havas agency from Salonica,
dated October 6, says:
The American consul here has
just received orders to make the ar
rangements with the vail (governor)
for the payment OF the ransom OF
Miss Stone. The United States will
advance the money, afterwards set
tliing with Turkey.
1.-THE Turkish authorities have
made numerous arrests among the
Bulgarian population, without dis
tinction OF religion, and nearly all
have been put to torture in the hope
Of abstracting information. A prison
er named Dimtri said an under
standing existed between the protes-
tants and the Macedonian commit
tee, and that Miss Stone was even
acting in concert with them with
the view of obtaining funds for a
political-religious propaganda. These
declarations, wrung from Dimitri un-
der torture, are valueless. What is
certain is that the captain Of the
band designated for the payment of
the ransom a place in the proximity
Of the Roumanian frontier, which
proves that he hopes to escape the
Turkish police, and that the Bulga-
rian police do not cause him anxiety.
"The condition of affairs is shown
by the fact that five or six bands of
brigands ofl2 to Is men each have
