Affairs in Alaska.
H. M. S. Ssproy arrived afc Vic
toria on the 9th from Ataska. She
-was relieved on the 3d instant by
the steamship Alaska, the Osprey
Hailing the same evening for this
station. All is quiet. A special
correspondent of the Colonist on
board of the Osprey epitomizes
events as follows :
With the exception of one night,
the Indians have been quiet. The
night I allude to was that of the
29th ult., when a boat from the
Oliver Wolcott came alongside at
about 9:30 o'clock, with a letter
from Colonel Ball, the collector, to
our captain, asking for some rock
ets for signal purposes, and re
questing that arms and men might
land in case of a certain signal
bain? shown
from the custom
house.
ize captain accordingly
had the rockets sent, and held our
selves in readiness for landing,
which, during the early part of the
night, rather expected and all of
us hoped for, I think.
We learned the following day
that the men of the Oliver Wol
cott, which were tying off the In
dian rancherie, were standing to
their arms all nirht and had their
guns loaded ready to open iire the
moment the signal should be made
which, however, was not shown,
and the night passed without any
disturbance. It appears, I learned
from Col. Ball the following day,
that a number of Chilcat Indians,
had come from the north that
evening or the evening before, so,
of course, there was a drinking ca
rousal, or potlach, as they call it,
which turned into a row, during
which, one of the Annahoot's kins
men, was rather severely wounded
with a knife or something, of the
kind.
Annahoot is a friendly Sitkan
chief who prevented the first dis
turbance from taking place, and
probably the other tribes look on
him as an enemy. In return for
.this, one of Annahoot's party
picked up a stone and smashed in a
Ohilicats face, for which the Chili
cats swore they would have Anna
hoot's blood, and as Annahoot lives
within the stockade, and close to the
custom house and other places in
habited by whites, it was thought
likely that should the Chilcats
cany out their threat they would
in all probability have gone to
further extremities, I mean that
these Indians once having tasted
blood, so to speak, would not have
been satisfied with Annahoot's
party alone, but would have come
straight upoii the whites, Anna
hoot being their friend.
Collector Ball of Sitka makes an
appeal for help from the general
government. That if the Alaska
leaves them they may all be mur
dered. The situation is dangerous
in the extreme.

The giant powder works, near
Golden Gate park, which blew up

house. The latter was demolished
nnd the roof ef: the mixing house
stove in. and the glass in houses in
the vicinity smashed. Nobody
