STEAMER BURNED
 AT ANCHORAGE Largest of Cook Inlet Mosquito Fleet Burns on Mud Flats at Anchor
 age-Insured Partly.

SEWARD, Oct. 1.-The stern- wheel steamer Tyconda, the largest of the mosquito fleet which has been plying on Cook Inlet waters since the government activities began last spring, was burned to the waters edge last night. The Tyconda was valued at $27,O00 and was partly covered by insurance.
 The steamer was owned by R. ". Holbrook and J. w. Magnan, who for merly operated it on the Stikine riv- CT before entering the Cook Inlet trade. The origin of the fire is a mystery as the steamer was out on the mud flats at Anchorage when she was destroyed.
 The Tyconda had secured a good share of the lighterage business and it is reported was soon to have been purchased by the Alaskan Engineer ing commission.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The hu- man voice was transmitted across the continent without the aid of wires yesterday, when two men, one in Arl- ington, Va, and the other at Mare Island, California, conversed by the use of a new wireless phone. The operators claim that the voices came clear and distinct as though wires were being used and the distance be- tween them only few yards.
 The new invention is expected to revolutionize the telephone and tele- graphic systems of the world. It is claimed by the inventors that the de- vice will operate in any climate and across water with the same degree of efficiency, although tests have not as yet been made across the ocean.

LANOL0CK MINE
 CANNOT SHIP ORE
Loss of Admiral Watson and Freight CT Edith Proving Handicap to
 Copper Mine Owners.

The launch Shamrock returned from Landlock Bay yesterday after noon bringing a number of miners who have been working for w. A. Dickey, the Three-Men mining com pany. They report that the bunkers are filled to capacity and that ore is piled up in every available space around the works, owing to no steam CTS being available for transporting the ore to the shelter.
 The loss of the Alaska Steamship company's big freighter Edith, and the Admiral Watson of the Admiral Line, has proved a serious handicap to the shippers of copper ores from the Southwestern Alaska coast mines, and the announcement that the Alas ka Steamship company has purchas- ed two big freighters to operate in thesre waters is good news to the mine owners, who will suffer loss if their mines are closed down for 8 time.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-The West India hurricane which swept in from the gulf yesterday and last night caused the deaths of ten people, in jured hundreds of others, and caused damages amounting to millions of dollars.
 During the night the wind attain ed velocity of 12O miles an hour and drove a tremendous wall of water in from the gulf, which caused the levees to break below the city, and flooded the country. Many buildings were swept away in the darkness and their occupants perished before res cue parties could reach them after daylight arrived.
 No estimate of the number of deaths caused can be made, as the country south of New Orleans is low, threaded with numerous bayous, and covered with heavy growth of cy- press timber. Many families live in these swamps, in houses erected on piling, and it will take weeks to com pute the death roll.

UPRISING QUELLED
 IN SAN ANTONIO
p-antv.Six Mexicans are Arrested for Plotting a Campaign to Re-
 conquer Lone Star State.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. By the arrest of twenty-six Mexicans here today, Chief of Police Lancaster and Federal authorities announced that a plan to incite the Mexican population of San Antonio to deeds of violence had been frustrated.
 The order for general arrest Of all Mexican agitators was issued after a disturbance that was sequal to . street meeting last night, during which one of the speakers declared that 1t was mo harm to kill Gringo and an Allemante," meaning Ameri- cans and Germans, according to Chief Lancaster.
 The police charged the crowd and arrested the leaders after a fight in which one of the Mexicans shouted: .'Now is the time to rise; let us kill the Gringoes!"
 A dragnet was then thrown out and all Mexican suspects. arrested and placed in jail.
 Those held will be placed in the custody of the Federal officers, who said to night that charges of treason, alleging an effort to set on foot an armed expedition against the United States authorities, would probably be filed against them.
 The prisoners, according to Chief Lancaster, were adherents to the so- called Plan of San Diego-a wild scheme to recapture Texas for Mex ic0.
 A recent uprising in portion of the Lower Rio Grande valley caused the program to go amiss and at the same time the Federal officers were put on their guard. Since the dis turbances in the Brownsville district special agents of the United States department of justice, and police of 1ers have been keeping 8 close watch to prevent an uprising in San Anto- nio. They learned that several agi- tators were here but until last night these men did not attempt to create ady disorders.
