Big Government Hatchery and North ern Portion of Island Burled as Well as Coast of Alaska. 3EATTLE, Vn June 14. A. H. Wheatley, superintendent of tho Cop per River nnd Northwest railway at Sewnrd, today cabled tho United Press tho most authentic and Inter esting account of tho volcanic erup tions which du ring the past wek havo covered a large portion of tho coast or Alaska with ashes and filled tho air with sulphurous fumes. Ills story follews: SEWARD. Alaska, Juno 14. Mount Katmai, dormant for twenty years, erupted one week ago. Tho steamer Dora, then sixty miles dis tant and bound for Kodiak, wit nessed the approach of a hugh ash cloud which xvas accompanied by ter rific electrical discharges. The ship was completely enveloped for five hours Immersed in Cimmerian dark ness, tho ashes and fumes choking all on board. Tho Revenno Cutler Manning and cannery boats took tho residents o Kodiak and the Wood Island mission aboard, but it was imposslbio to lea'e tho shore on account of tho Intense darkness. Normally that district now has practically 24 hours of daylight. Xorth Kodiak Island and all of Afognlak xvith 'the big government fish hatchery, afo bu ried 115 der for ty feet of shore. Vegetntlon Is desindyed and all animals aro dead or dying of hun ger. Loss of life is unkonw as It was impossible to communicate any xvbere during tho eruption. Light ning destroyed the Kodiak wlrelesn station. The villages near Mount Katmai are undoubtedly destroyed but luckily the population Is scanty and the xvlad forced tho ashes seaward. Seward and tho entire Konal Peninsula was showered by ashes and an acid rain which burned vege tation and corroded metals. Uylak and Knrtuk are safe. Lieutenant Searles, of tho Revenue Cutter sorvlco, is horo awaiting In structions from Washington and re lief supplies.
