SEATTLE, Sept. 21. The steamer Rosalie bears upon her stem a mute evidence of the general shaking up which has occurred In the north. When the steamer crossed the entrance of Taku Inlet she encountered fields of Icebergs through which she had to pick her way and going Into one of these floes the steamer struck her nose with force enough to break away a portion ot the stem and Iron plating that binds It down. The unusual quantity of ice Is due to breaking away of the face of Taku glacier. The Yakutat's and KUnket's and other tribes fell on their faces and im plored the great spirit to stay his w rath and let his anger subside. The disturbance was felt hundreds of miles Inland and was very violent. The Rosalie brings $150,000 In gold dust and 100 rassengers. MONTEJO'S PUNISHMENT. MADRID, Sept. 21.
