ka Completed.
Washington, Nov General Greedy,
chief signal ofiicer OF the United States
army, in his report to the secretary Of
war shows that during the year a sys-
tenn of military telegraph and cable
/. lines in Alaska, authorized by congress,
has been completed, and consists of
Z ], TAO miles. General Greedy commends
very highly Captain Burnell, who was
in charge Of. the telegraph construction
work in Alaska. and his assistants,
Captains Mitchell and Gibbs.
It is stated that one line was pushed
along. route pronounced impractica-
Bile and another across country that
never before had been trodden by the
foot Of a white man. Attention ia
called tosthe fact that not twenty miles
Of constructed wagon road exists In the
country traversed and that, as a rule,
all material was sledded into the inte-
rior in midwinter or carried by pack
animals over the toughest trail.
OF the enlisted men aof the signal
corps who made up the construction
parties General Greedy says: ''It In
doubted whether in the peaceful an
mails of the army there have been met
with nebler fortitude by the enlisted
men equal conditions of hardship and
privation." - +
Tribute is also paid to the lire of the
army for It's service in connection with
telegraph construction In Alaska. ~
General Greedy says efforts are being
made, with prospects of success In
1904, to establish communication by
wireless telegraphy between ST. Mi
chael and Nome, across Horton sound
a distance of 108 miles. - The general
says the maintenance of the Alaskan
telegraph lines will necessarily entail
a heavy burden on the signal CORPS
and on the garrisons in Alaska. and he
recommends. that the four companies
Of the line stationed at Forts Liscumb.
Egbert, Gibbon and St. Michael be in
creased to 100 men at the earliest prac-
ticable date.
:, The connection by submarine cable
of the detached system in southeast
Alaska with that of the Yukon district
is recommended, also an increase in
the enlisted strength Of the corps in or
der that unduly prolonged service on
foreign stations may not be necessary,
as now. and, further, that an addition

SANTO DOMINGO'S CRISIS
Blockade at Puerto Plata Run
by American Ship.
MR. PoWELLs VIGOROUS ACTION.

Federal Governments Orders Ignored
by United States Minister, and the
Cherokee Lands Cargo at Regular
Destination.
santo Domingo, Nov. IA Domint-
can war ship stopped the Clyde line
steamer Cherokee as the latter vessel
was nearing Puerto Plata and informed
the captain that he could not enter that
port. The Cherokee, then proceeded for
SANTANA and was also prevented from
entering that port, the minister of war
ordering the captain of the Cherokee to
proceed direct to the capital.
On the arrival of the vessel here the
government demanded that the cargo
intended for Puerto Plata and SANTANA
be landed at this port. The agent of the
company and the captain Of the Chero-
kee refused to comply with this de-
mand and appealed to the United
States minister, Mr.. Powell, for protec-
ton.
Minister Powell Acts Promptly.
Mr.. Powell saw the president and
argued that, since the government of
Santo Domingo had not advised the
foreign legations of any blockade, it
could not prevent the Cherokee from
entering the ports of Puerto Plata and
SANTANA and insisted that the cargo
should be landed at its destination. The
president in reply reiterated his de-
n1and that the Cherokee's cargo be
landed at Santo Domingo, but this
Minister Powell refused to permit and
declared he would hold the government
responsible should any violent action be
adopted toward the Cherokee
When the Cherokee was ready to
leave for AEua clearance papers were
refused, and it was again demanded
that she land her cargo at this port.
Minister Powell wrote a sharp note to
the government demanding a permit
for the Cherokee to depart The gov
eminent refused to allow a pilot to
board the vessel, and MinistSF Powell
then instructed Captain Archibald to
take his ship out and proceed to Aqua,
keeping his cargo aboard and landing
it at the ports of destination
