TESTIMONY IS
 AGAINST PAPERS
Details of One of the Most Das- tardiy Grimes Ever Commit
 ted in Alaska.

The six men of Company B, Thirtieth L. $. Infantry, who are charged with rape and breaking and entering a dwelling house in the night time with intent to commit rape. as reported in the Prospectur some time since, were recently given their preliminary hearing in the commissioners court at st. Michael.
 The men are PrivatrS Henry II. Alderman. William G. Butler, Si. Curbin. Lewis kirkwood. Owen Nidy and William Potcntler. They were all bound over tn the grand ury and We're taken to Nome. Cap tain Wade and the other officers of the local garrison had investi- gated the affair to such good eff feet that evidence was found against all six of the men. even though the two native women were able to identify but two of the men implicated.
 Not only the officers of the |post, but the enlisted men, took part in tracing out the guilty ones, as public sentiment seemed against the soldiers generally, and the men who cared for their good names lent all possible as sistance, with the result that the officers were soon enabled to pick out the probable guilty ones.
 Some of the guilty ones have, confessed and have made sworn statements duplicating them selveselves, as we'll as all the rest l of the six men. The story told by the two native women was pa thetic in the extreme. They both told straightforward stories which could not be doubted. One of the women had a small child on her back which was clothed only in an underskirt and parka, the lower portion of it's body be- ing exposed.
 The men took this child from the wOman's back and tossed it into the snow and left it lying there while three of them assault ed the woman, who was really a mere girl, the aunt of tn child. She said that in the assault the men so twisted her right leg that her hip was nearly dislocated, (which caused most excruciating pain and caused her to give up the resistance she was making.
 After the men left her, at a point several hundred yards from the shore out on the ice of the bay, she picked up the child and jput it under her parka, but her right hip and leg were so lame that she could hardly move and she fell every few steps of the way back, and every time she fell the child's bare feet and legs would protrude down into the snow.
 Evidence was introduced to show that one of the men had confessed the whole affair and Implicated all the others with him in the dastardly crime. It was not thought necessary by the prose- cution to introduce other evidence at this time, as there was suffi- cient to hold the men.
 All of the defendants waived their right to make a statement Land only one of them, Butler, call ed witness in defense. That witness made much better witt ness for the government than for the defense and no more were called.

1-oteam Shovel and Crew In culsbr,
oeney Dame DsvIssd
Colon. C. Z.-What of tho mon who
nave done the actual digging of the
Panama canal? Who are they,
whence have they come, how do they
uve7
We all have read 4 lot about Col
onel Goethals, Colonel sibsrt, Colonel
Gaillard. Colonel Hodges, Colonel
Gorgas and q few others Of the men
who hold the "big jobs" We know
that their Immediate subordinates are
skillful, energetic young engineers
and doctors from the states. But
what do we know about the men who
handle the pick and shovel, who run
the steam drills, who load the bor1ngs
with dynamite. who help to flll up
and empty the interminable dirt
trains7
With the very beginning of the
French attempt to dig the canal the
labor problem bobbed up as serious.
especially In view of the horribly in
sanitary conditions on the isthmus.
White laborers succumbed rapidly to
yellow fever and malaria and 1t was
found that only negroes could with.
stand even fairly we'll the diseases
and the climate.
When Uncle Sam took hold Of the
big Job he had the beneflt Of the ex-
perience Of the French In this - in
other respects. and though he tried
4 few experiments In the labor Aeld
ON his own account, it was soon de.
termined that the actual digging could
be done best BY negroes. Now there
are two islands in the West Indies
both British possessions, which are
overlooking with workmsn-Jamaics
and Barbados. To these islands agents
were sent. and soon the colored mer
began to arrive on the isthmus, ship
load after shipload. Many Of then
brought their wives and children and
have become . part Of the permanent
population Of Panama.
One other source Of labor wa.
drawn upon largely, the north O
Spain. There the agents Of the com
mission found . race Of men hardy
eager for work and more intelligent
than the negroes. A large number o.
thsm were brought over, and though
for . time they were troublesome BY
reason Of their disposition to engage
in bloody Quarrels among themselves
after several had been locked up b!
the Zone police they learned to be
have more like civilized beings
These Spaniards do not mix with tn,
negroes, either in work or socially
They have their own camps ant
messes. Tho stewards and cooks q
these messes are Europeans and tn,
6paniards get better meals than TIL
negroes. The food 10 adapted t.
their national taste and they receive
wine several times . week. For THU
they pay 40 cents day-10 cent?
moro than tho colored mon pay. Thu
spaniards are considered the bes
common workmen In the zone.
