the date of purchase to 30 ,052 in 1890 63 =
592 in 1900 and an estimated 1900 at the
present time.
The number of fur seals taken on the
Pribilof Islands from 1870 to 1901 is -, 49,
81 and the value of the seal and other
furs taken since the purchase of Alaska by
the United States is estimated at about
SSoODWO. The fur seal industry, which
has declined in the last few years, was sue
ceeded by the fishing industry, Alaska now
supplying about one-half of the salmon OF
the country. The value of the salmon pack
in Alaska last year is estimated at about
100000, and the total value of the fish
taken in Alaska since the purchase about
$5OOOO,OOO, while the value of gold and sill
yer mined since the purchase is also about
100000.
ESTIMATED value, So, 100000.

DENIED BY PRESIDENT PALMA
humor About Bride of S25, 900 to
Gen, Gomez

dlspatch from Havana yesterday says:
PRESIDENT Palma and Gen. Gomez were
questioned today in regard to the story
punilshed in the United States that Gen.
Gomez had received $4,000 from the ad-
mlnistration of the United States TO with
draw from the presidential campaign in
Cuba and to permit the election Of Senior
Palma.
President Palma Indignantly denied that
he had been party to any scheme TO have
Gen. Gomez withdraw from the campaign
in his favor. He also spoke for Gen.
Gomez. who was present when Senior
Palma was questioned on this matter. The
president of Cuba said that to insinuate
that Gen. Gomez had been bought off by a
bride of $4,000 was to question the honesty
and integrity of Gomez and himself and
that such attacks would pass unanswered.
Gen Wood, who is now in Boston, also
made a vigorous and emphatic denial OK
the story.

ATTACK ON LA GUIRA
VENEZUELAN REBELS REFUSED
BY GOVERNMENT TROOPS.
Only a Few Peaceful Women Killed
in Acknowledgement at
Caracas.

WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Mon
day, June 9-Advices received here today
announce that the Venezuelan revolution
lists attacked La Guaira, the port of Cara
cas-, Saturday, June Z. The government
forces answered by Smelling MaiQuetia, a
suburb of La Guaira, from the forts ashore
and from the Venezuelan warship Miranda.
Only peaceful women were killed.
All the commercial houses at La Guaira
were closed the day of the bombardment
and the inhabitants were panic-stricken.
Eventually, the revcl=ticcists, who num-
bered about 400 men, were repulsed. They
destroyed the bridge at Bouqueron, on the
Caracas English) railroad, and stopped all
traffic for twelve hours. They also cut the
French cable and the telegraph wires.
The people of Caracas were thrown into a
state Of alarm and every one began buying
provisions, apprehending siege.
The situation in Venezuela as these ad-
vices were dispatched indicated that a crisis
was near.

The View in Diplomatic Circles.

In well-informed diplomatic quarters here
the impression prevails that the revolution
which Is at present threatening President
Castro of Venezuela is very strong one,
and perhaps the most formidable of any
that has arisen during the past few years
in that South American republic. Neverthe-
less, as long as the revolutionists can be con-
fined in their movements to outlying towns
and be kept away from the central points
of administration, such as Caracas and the
city of Valencia, 1t is thought here that
there is no possibility of final success for
the opponents of the Castro administration
However. should such vantage point as
Valencia, which is the second city of inn
portanee in the republic, with population
of $4,000, and the point Of dispatch of the
government military expeditions, fall into
insurgent hands, it is said here that it
would only be a question OF days before the
capital itself would be occupied by the
