HAVANA, Dec L. That the joint
United States army and navy board
which has been Investigating the ex-
plosion which wrecked the battleship
Maine, will report that the United
States warship was blown up from
an outside mine, was the belief gen.
orally expressed here today, as the
members sailed for Key West, Fla,
enroute to Washington.
So certain has become the belief
among the Havana newspapers that
the board will hold Spain responsible
for the disaster that the press has
adopted an attitude of silence toward
the inquiry and the papers have an
nounced they will publish nothing con-
corning the finding.
Naval constructor Ferguson accom-
panied the members on the joint
board.

NANKING, Dec. 1-(By wireless to
ShanghaD. Another decisive blow was
struck at the throne by the rebels to-
day when they captured the loyalist
redoubts on Purple Hill, the last
stronghold of the government forces.
Heavy loss of life accompanied the
victory which was determined after
desperate bayonet charges Of the reb-

sion of practically the whole city.
The capture Of the imperialists' forts
along the mountain top was one of the
most brilliant operations of the revolu-
tionary campaign and was marked by
reckless bravery on the part Of 5000
Woo-Sunk rebel soldiers who scaled
the heights of Purple Hill in the face
list cannon and small arms. The range
at the point where the redoubts were
stormed is precipitous but the rebels
scaled it like ants. The mems rifles
were strapped on their backs and some
of them carried swords in their teeth.
The loyalists' artillery became less
and less effective as the rebels got
nearer to the heights. Many of the
shells went high, exploding in the rear
of the attacking column. AS the men
reached the heights they charged with
fixed bayonets driving back the artil-
lerymen from their guns. With the saw
agery Of Germans they threw themsel-
yes upon the defending 1oyalists, bay
onetting them down as they fled. The
rebel loss of life was placed at 200.
The imperialists losses were even
greater.

BIG CONGREGATION
HEARS EVANGELIST
Thanksgiving Service at the
First M. E. Was Excep-
tionally Interesting.

A large attendance featured yester-
days observance of Thanksgiving day
in connection with the revival meet
ings being held at the First NJ. E..
church. Rev. H. D. Kennedy, who is
conducting the revival, preached a
short sermon, in which he warned the
congregation to be on the lookout for
the sinGle-fime allotted to everyone
to determine his decision regarding
Christianity. Illustrating his theory,
evangelist told the story of his own
conversion to true Christianity. He
stated that when he was small he at
tended a Methodist church simply be-
cause he was expected to do so,' and
had no definite ideas concerning his
real beliefs. When in his teens. how
ever, he said he began pondering over
the story of the passover and the saw
ing of true believers by the unusual,
bloody manner, as narrated in the book
of Leviticus. Shortly after this, his
little sister died, and then, he asserted,
was when he first became a true
Christian.
Applying his personal experiences
to a more general case. Rev. Kennedy
said that a similar period was certain
to come in everyone's life. Statistics,
showing that most church members
join before the age of Is, were given
by the speaker to show that children
especially must be prepared to give a
declaration of their faith when called
upon.
Preceding the talk by the evangel-
ist, Mrs. H. D. Kennedy led an hour
of prayer and singing in honor of the
holiday for giving thanks. One more
person was taken into the church,
making a total of forty-two convers-
ions.
This evening, the Rev. Kennedy will
preach on the topic. How country
people live in the city" No services
will be held on Saturday, as the evan
gelist is planning an unusual program
for Sunday, the concluding day of the
meetings. In the afternoon Rev. Ken
nedy will conduct a mems mass meet
ing, and will talk on Gods best
Man" He will close his services in
the evening with a sermon on the
Devils Cradle"

and reversed it's decision of yester-
day. that Persia should bow to Rus

prevent serious disorder. but today's
decision by the cabinet was proclaim

Schnabel followed, cor roborating Fasset, and he in turn was succeeded by Marshal Faulkner, who stated that he had taken the names of the de- fendents and produced them in court. Capt. Kelly of the Amer ica was also put on the stand, but was not present at the time of the arrest, nor had he seen them fish at any time. The de- fense raised no evidence in rebuttal, Attorney Cosgrove simply asked that the bond for the appearance of the accused men be made as reasonable as possi- ble. District Attorney Rustgard agreed that as in all probability the fine would be a normal one, his office would be satisfied with a small bond for the mems ap- pearance before the next Grand Jury, so the court fixed the bail at S1000.00 for the entire crowd, S50.00 to be forfeited for the non-apperance of any one of the prisoners when needed for trial, in case the grand jury brought in true bills agai nst them, and their interpreter was given until Monday morning to raise the cash bond. After the hearing, the Court announce that the de- cision in the alien fishing matter would be announced Saturday morning.

 Linderberg & Co.,, who install- ed the cold storage plant here for the spring salmon curing and who are owners of the wharf here, have evidently done large and successful business this sea- son under the management of Craig Millar. For the season, their books show an expenditure of in the neighborhood of S7,50000 for fish and labor. It seems that the result of the sea- sons work has been so satisfac- tory that they have decided to double the capacity of the cold storage plant, construct a can- nery. wareroom, store building, etc.. to cost in the neighborhood of S1O0, GOO. %. Mr. Millar has gone to Seattle to complete the necessary arrangement and ex- poets to begin the work of con- struction in December or early in January, so if you happen out this way when the 'humpies' run again, you will see something doing.

Saturday morning Harry Clifford Fassett local representa- tive of the fishries bureau caused the arrest of one of the Japanese fishing at Yes Bay on the grounds that he was an alien, and as such was not allowed to fish in the waters of Alaska. Sum- day evening, shortly after five o'clock representatives of the U. s. MarshaPs office arrested twen- ty-one others on a penal charge fishing during the closed per iod = Saturday to Monday. They were brought to town with their fishing outfit, Monday afternoon, and complaints lodged against them for the viola
 tion of the law. Tuesday morn- ing they appeared in court repre- sented by attorneys Cosgrove and Ingersoll who demurred to the complaint on the charge
 brought on the ground that the act under which they were ar rested applied to salmon only. Assistant Agent, Harry Clifford Fasset, of the Alaska Salmon Fisheries, represented the gov ernment. Arguments were pre- sented by both sides, and Judge Lyons took the matter under ad- visement until Wednesday morn ing. At ten o'clock on that day he overruled the demurrer on the ground that the law applied to all fish irrespective of the use they were going to be put to, and set the time of the hearing for eight o'clock, Thursday evening. Thursday night the matter was taken up, all the Japanese being in court. The government placed Harry Clifford Fasset on the stand, who testified that he had gone to Yes Bay Sunday evening, arriving shortly after five o'clock. He found two boat loads of Japanese fishing with a purse seine, and in- structed Deputy United States Marshal Schnabel to arrest them all. The defense raised the point as to whether the men un
 der arrest had actually caught

The Japanese Situation

Between three and four hun dred men turned out at Red Mems Hall last Friday night to talk over the matter of alien
 fishermen. Mayor Thomas Torry was unanimously selected as chairman, and he in turn ap- pointed Richard Bushell, Jr., as secretary. The call for the meet ing was read, and the meeting was declared organized. When remarks were called for, it devel- oped that some question existed in the minds of many owing to the fact that some of them thought that the object of the meeting was to try to devise ways and means of disposing of the Japanese fishermen, and not making the rule apply to all aliens, and considerable differ erence of opinion resulted. To furnish a soluting of the ques- tion and to enable those present to vote and talk intelligibly, the following resolution was intro duced:
 We, representative citizens of Southeastern Alaska, or Natives thereof, fearing that the fishing industry of this region is threat ened by the presence of Alien Fishermen taking fish from the waters of Alaska, contrary to the best interests of Alaska and Alaskans, respectfully ask that legislation be enacted in Con- gress-provided present laws are found inadequate-as shall re- quire every man taking fish in commercial quantities from the waters of Alaska, to be either a citizen of the United States, or who shall have declared his in tentions to become such, or a native of Alaska.
 The question was pretty gen. orally discussed, and unanimous ly adopted, and it was ordered that resolutions be drafted in the form of petition and circulated for the purpose of getting sigma lures for presentation at Washington, D. C., and a com mittee consisting of w. H. Gill mour, F. J. Hunt, John w. Stedman, Martin Rugge and George Rounsfell were appointed by the chair to take the matter
