Japanese Seal Poachers Paint

ONE REVENUE CUTTER ACTS
Captures Two Ships and Total of
Fifty-Nine Men.
ARREST NEAR ST. PAUL ISLAND

ARREST NEAR ST. PAUL ISLAND

Dispatches received today by the De.
partment of Justice and the revenue cut
ter officials Of the Treasury Department,
announce that two Japanese poaching
vessels, with total crews of fifty-nine
men, have been captured by the revenue
cutter Bear near ST. Pauls Island, the
chief island Of the seal group in Bering
sea. The capture is regarded as a most
novel one.
The dispatch received by the Depart
ment of Justice is from l.. " Ray, as
sistant United States attorney at Valdez
Alaska. He says that the steamer Dora
has just put in there, the captain bringing
word of the capture, with the statement
that the Kinser Maru. the largest of the
two vessels, was painted white in imita-
ton Of the revenue cutter Manning, which,
is at San Francisco, and that in further
imitation of the United States govern
ment vessel the Kinser Maru carried for
ward yards OF PAPER mache.
Mr.. Ray asked permission to proceed
north to investigate the situation in the
seal island country, and will probably
receive the necessary authority.
Disposition of Prisoners.
two men and the Saiki Maru crew OF
twenty-seven. The captain of the cutter
Bear, in his dispatch to the revenue cut
ter service. says that the captured men
will be taken to Unga. Alaska, and turned
over to United States commissioner
He says he has sufficient evidence to con-
Wet the men, and it is therefore assumed
here that the vessel contained captured
seal.
Japanese poachers, il is explained, have
given the United States authorities much
trouble On the seal islands. Two years
ago a party of pOachers, sneaking around
one of the islands. was fired on by some
Of the guards and several of them were
killed. This led to talk Of Ill feeling in
Japan. The same year a number of
Japanese were captured, tried In Alaska
and convicted of poaching. Last year
Japanese were also arrested. tried and
sent to prison.
The plans Of the Japanese in the latest
expedition, it is pointed out. seem to
have been more deep laid than at any
time heretofore. and contemplated a
wholesale capture of seals. The painting
of their vessels in imitation Of revenue
cutters, it is remarked. was intended to
deceive the guards and make them feel
that a United States government vessel
was cruising off shore. The hints in the
dispatch are that they did succeed in de-
ceiving the guards.

the inspectors for their success in getting

this, and are satisfied that they would 60
