Number of Barges Washed Ashore at
Cape Nome.

Seattle. Wash, Oct 10.-The worst
storm OF the season swept the Cape
Nome coast Thursday and Friday.
Sept % and &c. and caught the steam
ers Senator, Oregon and Centennial, all
of which went to Sledge island and es-
capped the force OF the heavy seas.
There was no material damage done
to shipping. but a great deal of incon-
venience was caused. On Saturday the
wind was abated and the sea Gained,
and since that time there has been
good weather.
The wind began in the morning with
a strong blow and increased during the
day to a gale, reaching climax FRI
day evening. During the fercest OF
the storm the surf reached the highest
point il has attained this year. It
swept over the sand pit into Snake
river. This stream OveTfiOwed its
banks and inundated River street at
Nome.
AT the beginning of the storm there
were a large number OF barges moored
out in the roadstead. These were all
washed ashore and were left high and
dry when the storm abated. One barge
was washed up into Snake river as
though it had an invisible heimsnan.
Strange 10 say, there was very little
damage done along the Nome water
front. although. for a time, il looked
as il q. repetition of the storm OF two
wears ago was at hand. The tug Lee,
belonging TO the Sesnon and Liebes
IIghterage company. drifted on the
sand Dit and was not pulled of for two
DAYS. 1t was not badly damaged.

ADMIRAL CASEY
is DICTATOR
Does Not Respect the Treaty
Rights Of Colombia.
ACTS UNDER INSTRUCTIONS
-
UNCLE SAINTS PURPOSE is NOT
UNDERSTOOD.
ACTS UNDER INSTRUCTIONS

BANANA. Colombia, Thursday, Oct
A conference between the gov
eminent representatives and Rear
Admiral Casey took place yesterday
The admiral subsequently said the OBJ
iect of the conference was 10 see II the
government and the revolutionists
could come TO some understanding 70
arrange the basis for an agreement
He could not say much on the sub
ject, for he had only one side or the
question. He considered, however,
that the terms offered IN President
Maroquin's amnesty decree were I'D
eraL
His only idea In comforting with the
authorities here was 10 end the strife,
which he considered unpatriotic, for
IL not only ruins the country but de-
lays the steps being taken looking 10
the completion Of the canal He did
not see from the arguments he had
heard that there was much difference
in the principles upheld by either OF
the Colombian parties, except in mat
ters relative TO the church.
Admiral Casey is studying the terms
which the government offered, and in
a day or two will send a communica-
ton 10 General Herrera. the revolution
airy commander. expressing his views
on the situation and will propose that
the general hold a conference with Cen
eral Salazar. the government COM
mander.
Admiral Casey received last Sunday
General Herrera's answer 20 Com
mander McLean's communication no.
tifying the general that the United
States had assumed control OF the
railroad line, but he would not divulge
the contents OF the letter, a copy OF
which he sent 10 Washington. Ac-
cording 10 report. General Herrera's
note is couched in very strong and
offensive language.
Regarding his refusal 10 allow the
Colombian government 20 transport
troops on the railroad. the admiral
said the United States had taken this
action in order to maintain free transit.
He knew General Herrera would not
dare to interfere with trains flying the
American flag, but he thought that
II the government was permitted to
transport troops or war material along
the line II would be provoking 70 the
revolutlonlsts and might cause an in
terruption Of traffic. It is reported that
the liberals 70 the number OF 500 TO
1000 men have camp back OF the En-
pire station. and it is claimed in be-
half OF Admiral Casey that If the gov
eminent reinforcements are very de-
sirous OF reaching Panama, they can
reach here from Colon. II is not
known how long the United States
forces will prevent the government
from using the trains TO transport
troops. but II Is admitted that Admiral
Casey viii not allow General Herrera
70 lombard Panama, and 1t is asserted
that II the revolutionary gunboat Pa
dilla comes within a limit assigned by
the American admiral the latter will
sink her. On the other hand, he viii
not permit the government gunbOats
to provoke the Padilla into venturing
within the limit referred to.

WATER CAUSING TROUBLE.
Steamer Runs Upon Rock in Lake
La Barge.

Vancouver. B. c.. Oct. 10.-Many
boats on the run between Dawson and
White Horse are experiencing trouble
through the lowering of the water.
About a week ago the La France ran
on rock in Lake La Barge while she
was on her way from Dawson with $50
passengers. When the vessel struck
there was great connection among the
passengers. II was found that two OF
the ribs of the steamer had been bro
ken, also some of her planking. but as
she was not making much water the
voyage 10 White Horse was continued.
Last week the steamer Canadian ran
ashore on a bar near Hel's Gate. She
was on her way from Dawson TO White
Horse and had large number OF pas
sengers on board The passengers
We're taken off the Canadian by the
steamer Bailey and conveyed to their
destination. At last accounts the Ca
madam was still on the bar.

Harner's sarcasm went for naught.
The soldier did not comprehend it,, and
apparently did not care to. His only
reply was vaguely put. Il suppose l
would" he said, "but youll do this for
me, won't you?'
"Of course not"
"Why won't you?"
"Simply because / won't" said
Harner, with emphasis.
The soldier stood as II undeter-
mined what to do. Then he looked up
and said: "Well, never mind, for
you'll have to do it, anyhow"

more seriously, "you're too young TO
die. Your country needs you even
If your sweetheart doesn't"

something which IIarner did not un-
derstand the soldier turned and
walked rapidly away.
The battle was fought. Through

and names and details. There was
no time in that awful slaughter TO
notice trifes. Human lives were as
cheap as grass and were moved
down as mcrcilessly. So il happened
that it was not until several days
later when the papers containing the
reports reached the moving army
that Haner observed his own re-
port:
"Monson. William H.-Private. COM
pany c. Enlisted from Spring Falls.
Shot through shoulder while saving

In the next issue was n dispatch
from Spring Falls saying that Mon

of Spring Falls and that his death
was universally dcplored.
"Wcll, that beats me-" said Iar-
ner. 81 wonder if my memory served

After the war Harner did not re-
turn to his paper. The editors who
had mutilated his copy and against
tipathy equal 20 that which Gen.
Sherman had expressed against the
war correspondents, whose useful
ness Harner could prove, was first
pointed out by Gen. George Washing
ton, was still in charge and he did
not feel like coming directly
under their orders. SO he tried
other things, but as the years went
by and the other things did not make
him rich he succumbed to the inevi-
table and entered journalism again.
To him was given a rowing commits
sion to visit and write up the places
where the conquests Of industry were

the debts of war.
In the course Of time his duties

the side of large mill: "William II.
Monson." The name seemed strange
ly familiar, and yet he could not
place it. 1t was gone amid all the
thousands of forgotten things in the
crowded years.
But the next morning it came like
a fash.

They thought l was, but l wasn't.
In fact, it was almost as untrue as
the report which reached me the day
before the battle that a certain young
lady had thrown me over"
And after that came the expert
ences so interesting to hear in times
of peace that were so hard to know
in the days of war.
