GABLE BROKEN NEAR VALDEZ
Nobody Knows When 1t Will be Re- paired-Burnside is on the Way
 to Seattle.

The Valdez-Sitka cable was broken this morning at 10:30 and the tests show the break to have happ ned near Valdez. Liert. Dougherty, in charge of this division of the cable, has requested that the Burnside be immediately sent north to make the repair.
 The anchor of the Alameda is be- lieved to have become foul of the government cable. It is known that the Alameda was delayed for an hour trying to pull up anchor, and now it is thought that the anchor was caught in the cable.
 It is not known when the repair ship Burnside can reach Valdez, as she is now en route to Seattle and will have to continue to the Spirit City for fuel oil and provisions and will then return north.

The entire stocks of goods owned by foreign merchants were contiscated and sold at public auction by order of General Villa The Spanish store keepers were the heaviest losers.
 Great indignation is expressed here at the action of General Villa and the refugees declare him to be no better than bandit The Catholic priests who escaped from Chihuahua report the footing of all the church buildings in the city by the rebel soldiers.

THE JAPANESE FURTHER NORTH.

While the MikadO'S minister for
foreign affairs and that earnest de-
votee of grape juice and white radishes,
William Jennings Bryan, are conduct
ing correspondence on the California
question which appears to be growing
more amicable and therefore more
enjoyable to the persons Immediately
concerned. a representative of the
Japanese foreign office is nosing around
in Vancouver and other parts of British
Columbia to smell out information with
which he may load himself with regard
to the manner in which emigrants
from the Land of the Morning Sun are
treated officially and popularity in that
corner of the empire of the Mlkado's
ally, King George. He will find-no
doubt has already done so-that the men
from Nippon receive no heartier well
come in British Columbia than further
south along the Pacific coast and that
the bars are even higher against their
entry there than at San Francisco.
The Japanese government, truth to
tell. should have made its first protest
to the British foreign office against the
treatment meted to japanese on the
American continent. Representations
at Washington would have been with
better grace if protests had followed
each other in that logical order. There
has been some irritation because the
japanese after submitting tamely to
the course of the loyal subjects of their
ally aroused themselves only when the
Californians drew race line in their
legislation. OF course, the Japanese
government has had its attention drawn
to its illogical procedure, and no douot
its belated inquiry among our northern
neighbors is due to the fact. The
Mikado hardly can expect better treat
ment for his subjects in California
than they are given in the dominions of
the monarch with whom he has an
offensive and defensive alliance, and his
minister of foreign affairs may well
protract the correspondence with MIR.
Bryan and soften his parts of speech
until the British empire has been
persuaded to mitigate the course of one
of its provinces toward the oriental
brothers. After the British or Canadi-
ans have reduced their opposition to an
influx OF japanese into British Column
bia the matter can be taken up with
the United States in a more practical
