LATEST FROM GREAT BATTLE
 FOR POSSESSION OF YERDUN
GERMANS START OFFENSIVE

PARIS Feb 25.-The expected offensive of the Ger mans on the western front has begun and one ot the most sanquinarv battles of the is proceeding around the fortified city of Verdun This city IS on the rVer Neuse in northeastern France not far from the German border In the German invasion at the beginning of the war this fofcation stopped the enemy but they sue ceeded in advancing beyond on two sides so that ever since they have had semicrce drawn around It. The cause of the present offensive evidently is to take Verdn
 which is regarded as the chief blockadng point of the defense of Paris It is admitted by the war office that the enemy has taken two miles of our entrenched positions and have advanced closer to the cis immediate fort- hcationS The Semcrcuar battle line extends TOT tWeh- tvve miles with our forces fighting from the inner side.
 The official communications to the effect that the struggle is Sangunary The positions lost to us were sub ;ected to terrific bombardment which smashed every thing in the country for miles around Then came tre- mendous charges by infantry when the trenches of the French had been made mteuable by the artillery and 1t is fully admitted that the Germans now occupy positions evacuated by our troops.

Mrs. Dan Jones, of Nome, died at Zanesville, Ohio, a few weeks ago, according to a letter deceived this morning by the Gateway. Mrs. Jones was formerly Miss Jessie Slifer, most popular young school teacher of Nome. She was married about two years ago to Mir. Jones, the superin- tendent for the Alaska Road Commis sion in the Second division. In ad- dition to her wide circle of friends in Alaska she also was in Panama dur ing the construction of the canal and there she was acquainted with Lieut.. Mears and his family and many others who are now with the Engi- neering Commission. Scores of peO- pie in Seward knew the young lady and it was only on the last boat a member of the Gateway staff received letter from her.

GERMANS START GREAT OFFENSIVE IN THE WEST
NAY COMPEL PRESIDENT NOT TO
 SEND UlTIMATUM TO NATIONS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-A reso- ution was introduced in the senate today to prevent the president from sending an ultimatum to any Euro pean power or from severing the re- lations of this country with any other. The resolution is regarded as having tremendous bearing on the future diplomatic power of any president. The resolution of Gore to prevent Americans from travelling in belli- gerent armed ships is also now be- fore the senate.

CABLESHIP IS COMING NORTH
Direct Communication Between Val dez and Seattle will Soon Be
 Restored--Sewar Isolated.

SEATTLE, Feb. 28.-The govern ment cableship Burnside sailed for Alaska last night to repair the breaks in the cable which have interrupted direct service during the past few weeks, and completely isolated Sew ard and Anchorage. The Burnside was in drydock when the breaks Oc- cured and has been delayed in talk ing her departure for the North.
 The Burnside will first repair the cable direct to Valdez which is re- ported to have parted near Sitka, where many miles of new cable was laid last summer. In the event that the break occurred in the old cable the Burnside is equipped to renew the cable in the section where the inter ruptions most frequently occur Valdez ProspectOr.

NOTHING CAME
 ON R. R. MONEY
SUPPOSE WE SHALL GET FIRST NEWS FROM WEARS
 AT ANCHORAGE.

Nothing positive arrived today about the signing of the emergency appropriation bill by the president but it is assumed that the bill has been signed, as stated, and that the fact is not believed worthy of men ton by the correspondents as the money had been made sure. The rep resentatives of the Commission heard nothing this morning but it is likely that the notification that the money is available would go first to Commis- sioner Mears. The Valdez PrOspector writes to the Gateway, the letter be- ing dated Feb. 24, that it had heard nothing about the matter up to that time.

APPAM CASE REPEATED

LONDON, Feb 25.-The British liner Westbuln has been captured by German raiders and taken to Santa Cruz in the Spanish Canary islands as prize ot war Just as the Appam was seized and taken to United States port It is supposed that the Moewe which captured the Appam also captured the Westburn but are inclined to think the capture was effected by the Ponga which was recently sighted by British cruiser off the Madeira islands On board the WestbuIn when she was taken i to Santa Cruz were the members of the German prize crew and two hundred passengers who had been taken off other ships which have recently been captured by the same or other German raiders The Westburn reported
 to have been taken off the Canary islands and the British @overnment believes the German raiders have base in one of the Spanish possessions in that group Madrid will be asked to investigate.

(LONDON ANXIOUS)

LONDON, via Valdez, Feb. 27.- London is anxiously awaiting the re- suit of the great German drive on Verdun It is feared that if Verdun is lost the French will not have time to fortify positions at the rear and that the Teutons may be able to break the allied lines, so compelling a gem eral retreat along the whole line to cover the Hanks. The struggle is rag ing with renewed force, according to the latest dispatches.

 line was meant to draw allied forces from Verdun and it's neghborhood the chief object of the German attack. During all the night last night the Germans kept up an n- cessant artillery fire They used bombs which exploded near the ground and illuminated trenches to direct their artillery fire These bombs are of a new kind and shed brilliant light on exploding.
