sITKA RESIDENTS OPPOSE
 REMOVAL OF BARRACKS.
R esidents Fear Natives UprisnS- want Proteetion-Natives Also Want Marines to RerSn-"tre Washington.

"sitka has raised a storm of pro test over the naval departments or der for the abandonment of the ma rIne barracks by the [. s.

ChisweIl of the rev enue cutter Rush Tuesday morning Co a representative of the Juneau Dis patch.
 The situation at sitka since the barracks was ordered Co vacate IS not without its humorous viewpoint.
 Citizens who realize the importance of the barracks to the welfare of the town. wired Delegate Wickersham at Washington. asking that he eI- ert his influence to have the navy de- psrtment reconsider it's abandonment order because. they argued, the h. iians, with the marines gone, would become disorderly and unruly. Deie- gate Wickersham wired back that the appeal of ;he people should be refer red to Governor Walter F. Clark, now in Washington. and SO it was.
 On the other hand. delegation Of Indians met at sItka and after pow wowing over the outlook of the ma rine-Iess sitka. decided that they, too. needed the protection of the gar rison
 With both the indians and the whites agreed that the barracks should remain in sItka. it is evL dent that fight will be made be- fore the residents of the former cap ital will condone the action of the department In taking away what has been a fixture in the town for near iy two score years.
