SHOWERS OF BULLETS

COLON. Jan. 29-The United States gun
boat Bancroft arrived to-day from the San
Bias coast She reports the attitude of the
San Bias Indians at Caledonia bay to be
not only unfriendly, but decidedly aggres-
sive.
Last Tuesday men from one of the Ban
croft's boats insisted on purchasiI few
cccoanuts from the Indians and paid more
than full value for them. That
night when 1t was dark, twenty
canoes were seen approaching the
Bancroft. The gunboat turned her
search-lights ON the canoes and it was re-
vealed that each boat carried as many In
dians could crowd in, probably 200 in
all. All the men were armed with bows
and arrows. guns. of quaint and old pat
terms and others weapons. Their faces were
besmeared with paint. There is no doubt
that their intentions hostile. They
hoped to surprise the ship.
The commander of the Bancroft ordered
the gunboat cleared for action and her
guns were loaded and trimmed ready for
use. quick firing Colt gun was placed
near the gangway and orders were given to
the crew OF this gun to keep up ceaseless
fire around the canoes. AS soon as the In
mediately began to retreat toward shore.
The gunners were given express orders
not to fire at the Indians so the bullets
cut the air and churned up the water all
around them.
No shots were fired at the Bancroft, which
at once sailed for Colon to bring in the
report of the occurrence.
The San Bias Indians live the northern
coast of the isthmus, between Nombre de
Dios and Cape Tiburon, but their principal
towns Caledonia bay. They de
scendants of the old Caribs, and for many
generations they have resented the intrusion
into the locality of all foreigners. They
never admitted sovereignty of Colombia or
paid taxes. and Colombia always let them
alone few trading schooners OCCASION
ally call along the coast for cocoanuts. and
this is the main product of the Indians, but
men from these schooners were never al
lowed on shore longer than was necessary
for the business purposes. The San Bias In
dians have a strong pride of race, and they
have succeeded in keeping their race free
from mixture with any foreign blood.
During the last three months gunboats of
the United States have made frequent trips
! to the San Bias coast to gain information
| concerning trails from Colombia toward the
center of the isthmus. AT first the Indians
were not more than slightly unfriendly, but
the repeated visits of our warships and men
soon annoyed them. and with each call from
the Americans they became more unfriendly
| and hostile.
Il is currently reported that in the interior
of their country there are valuable deposits
of gold. and thin gold earrings and other
! gold ornaments are occasionally found in the
possession of the Indians.

alton. II speaks well for the hrms
and IS an indication Of the progres
sive spirit Of the town.
The club is just getting on its
feet again. II has a new set Of Of
fcers and we believe they are men
who intend to devote themselves
with energy and enthusiasm to
their work. A new constitution is
TO be adopted. This constitution
will embody the best features found
in the constitutions of a number Of
successful commercial clubs. It is
designed TO secure the most perfect
working organization.
Now is the time when every
citizen of the town should interest
himself in this organization and
rally to its support Plans are be-
ing laid and policies adopted which
will determine the entire future Of
the club and vitallysfect the future
Of the town.
It need not be said, after the re-
port made yesterday has been read,
that there is a great work for the
club to perform. The questions
presented are numerous and press
ing. The commercial club can be
of inestimable service in meeting
these issues. They cover a wide
range and there are yet other mat
tiers, not enumerated, that demand
attention.
OF course, there will be people
who will say that mistakes are
being made and it should have
been done in some other way.
Such statements are always made
BY those who know least abort
what is being done and care least
about what may be done. They
seem to assume that they are divine
ly appointed .censors of all public
men and matters, aud when they
have discharged this function, they
arc we'll pleased and think they
have done their duty. 1t is a good
deal easier to pick flaws in work
after it is done than it is to furnish
the, energy and ideas to do it pro-
perly.
If you have an idea which you
think is for the good Of the COM
mercial club and the town, get into
the club, convince men that your
idea is good one, have it incor-
porated in the plans of the club,
and back it up with your money.
Ifyou have no idea Of your own
to advance, then for Heaven S sake,
don't stand around with your
hands in your pockets knocking
Pull off your coat and get to work,
or keep quiet while Others try TO
do something
Get in line, be public spirited,
advance your own interests and
those Of your town by working
with the men who are building

The Dawson merchants and Panama bound shippers are setting up a great vail because c. L. Andrews, deputy collector of customs at Eagle, is insist ing upon a compliance with the law in the reshipment into the United States of American goods. It is contended that he refuses to accept the consular certificate of export as conclusive evil deuce that the articles referred to in the certificate are of American origin, and complaint is made that MT. An drews is too exactiug It is also com plaiued that hardship is being im- posed upon shippers by the refusal of the deputy collector to accept any but American money in payment of duties.
 Those in Skagway who are acquaint- ed with c. L Andrews and with his method of procedure, understand he will exhibit no disposition to be unduly ofiicious, but that he will simply, hon. estly and conscientiously carry out the law iu the busiuesslike manner that is characteristic of the administration of Capt, D, H. Jarvis as collector of GUS toms.
 The law requires that only returning American goods can be shipped into the United States without having duty paid upon them The law also places the responsibility upon the customs of- fcers to enforce this provision. It is Mir. Andrews duty to know that this law is not violated. That it is not safe to accept the consular certificate has been time after time demonstrated. In fact. notwithstanding the rigid inspec- tion complained of on the part of Mir. Andrews, two tons of Canadian lner- were seized at Fairbanks that had been smuggled through on the in- spected ships. Customs officers say hun
