Washington, Sept. T.—Captain Tut
tle, of the revenue service, in charge of
the cutter Bear, reports to the treasury
department form Nome, August 2, on
the operations of bis vessel since July
6. The report relates principally to
the condition of the natives along the
Alaskan coast and the adjacent isl
ands. At Sinrock the surgeon of the
vessel, who was sent ashore, reported
that measles were epidemic, and that
pneumonia was prevalent and fatal.
At Teller Station, where the govern
ment lute a reindeer station, much sick
ness aud many deaths among the na
tives was reported. At Cape York the
same futal sickness was louud among
the natives. Going on to Cape Prince
of Wales, practically the same desper
ate condition was found to exist as at
other places. From that point tha
Bear proceeded to East Cape Village,
Siberia, aud thence to At. Lawrence
bay aud Port Clarence. Everywhere
the vessel touched officers were sent
ashore to investigate the condition,
and reported that the natives never had
been in a worse condition.
At Teller Station affairs were desper
ate.
Fully one-balf of the natives
around the station have died. In some
cases whole families have disappeared,
aud in others the parents have died,
leaving helpless children. Tim salmon
are running, but there are not sufficient
number of well people to catch them
and thua provide food for the present
and the coming winter. The ravages
of the disease have been so great that a
panic haa seized the natives, and the
dead are left unburied in their houses.
In their distress the natives in the
vicinity of Teller are collecting there
for food and uiedioal attention. Rev.
T. T. Bevig, although not a physician,
has set up a few tents and is running
a temporary hospital, having 12 sick
and 12 orphan children under his care,
luruishiug them with food as best he
can. He is said to be in great need of
pilot bread, flour and clothing for the
natives in extreme distress. There is
said to be uo record during the last 5U
years of the degree of destitution that
now prevails ui>ou the whole Behring
sea coast.
Captain Tnttle concludes bis report
as follows:
“ At a conference with Governor

Captain Tuttle says he is going to
make another trip north to distribute
the few things that were received and
to attend to the government business.

condition and fright and superstition.

Brough*
Seattle, Sept. 10.— The steamship
Berhta arrived from Valdes last night.
She brought about $30,000 in gold
dust. Arthur Uaiupbell, of the Ala»ka
Development Company, returned from
Kyak, where the company has found
oil and coal.
Whether the earthquake disturb
ances which were felt on Lynn canal
aud at the bead of tlie Yukon river had
any connection with similar disturb
ances at Lituya bay is a mere conject
ure, but according to information
brought out by the steamer Bertha, a
vast amount of damage was done at the
latter place. Five Indians are known
to have been killed.
Tbe news was brought from Lituya
bay to Yakutat by Indians in canoes.
The disturbances there occurred on
August 11. one day alter the earth
quake shocks above referred to. They
apparently proceeded from tbe district
in which Mount St. Elias aud Mount
Eairweather are situated. On August
11 two heavy shocks were felt, accord
ing to the Indians. The second sho k
created great havoc, as well as destroy
ing five lives. The Indian informants
told persons at Yakutat that five of
the immense glaciers which head into
Litnay bay weree dislodged by the
disturbance and were sent crashing
into the bay, partly tilling it with great
mountains of ice.
The five Indians are reported to have
been killed on a small island situated
out about a mile from the face ol one
of the glaciers. They were in a cave
aud were drowned by the great rnah of
water whioh swept over the island
when the ioe rivers crashed down into
the bay. Chief George, jiio of the
best-known characters in the north,
was one of the drowned Indiana. It is
said that the cave cache in which they
were caught was his personal prop
erty.
No definite news concerning the
strike ou Dornix creek, at the head of
tiie Copper river, had been brought out
to Valdes, outside of what was already
known when the Hteamer Bertha left.
The government trail, under the direc
tion of Captain Abercrombie, had ap
proached within 70 miles ol the strike,
o r a distanced 170 miles from Valdes,
and work was being pushed with all
speed, so as to connect the district by
trail with Valdes for the coming win
ter. Unless this shall be acompliBhed
it w ill be almost impossible to trans
port supplies to the scene of the gold
discovery through the winter months.

port« received from Hharperiale, a small
town near Mount Blanco, in Southern
Colorado, say that the feud over the
use of the range, whioh has long exist
ed between cattlemen and sheepmen,
reached a climax' this week when the
cattlemen drove 3,000 sheep over a
high precipice. The trouble has grown
out of the scarcity of water along the
water courses. Where grass still re
mains the sheep weie pastured and af
ter they hud once passed, cattle re
fused to eat, and either died or became
very poor. The cattlemen rose in re
volt and taking horses, corraled about
8,000 sheep. The sheepmen protested,
but being unarmed, could do nothing
The sheep were then driven down a
narrow gulch at the foot of whioh an
ancient waterfall had hollowed ont a
pit over 200 feel deep. Faster and
faster the animals ran, urged on by the
shouts of the cowboys, until the leader
paused at the blink. The press be
hind him forced him over and the
others followed. Some of the last who
fell ou the liodies of the first were not
killed, but the majority were killed.
It is stated that the entire country has

Houston, Texas, Sept. 11.— The West
Indian atorm, which reached tbe gulf
xiast yesterday morning, haa wrought
awful havoc in Texas. Report* are
conflicting, but it is known that an ap
palling disaster haa befallen the city of
Galveston, where it ia reported, a
thousand or more lives have been blot
ted out and a tremendous property
damage (nifloted.
Meager reporta
from Sabine Pass and Port Arthur also
indicato a heavy loss of life, but the
reports cannot be confirmed at thia
hour.
The first news to reach this city from
the stricken city of Galveston was re
ceived tonight. James C. Timmins, ^f
Houston, superintendent of the Na
tional Compress Company, arrived here
at 8 o’clock from Galveston. After
remaining through the hurricane on
Saturday he departed from Galveston
on a schooner and came across the bay
to Morgan’s point, where he caught a
train for Houston, The hurricane,
Mr. Timmins said, was tiie worst ever
known.
The estimates made by citizens of
Galveston was that 4,000 housea, most
of them reaidencea, have been de
stroyed, and that at least 1,000 people
have been drowned, killed or are miss
ing. Koine business houses were also
destroyed, but moat of them stood,
though badly damaged.
The city, Mr. Timmins avers, is a
complete wreck, so far as be could see
from the water front and from the Tre-
mont hotel. Water was blown over
the island by the hurricane, the wind
blowing at the rate of 80 miles an
hour, straight from the gulf, and forc
ing the sea before it in big waves.
The galo was a steady one, the heart
of it striking the eity about 5 o ’clock
yesterday evening and continuing with
out intermission nntil midnight last
night, when it abated somewhat, al
though it continued to blow all night.
In the bay the carcasses of nearly 200
horses aud mules were seen, but uo
human body was visible
The scenes daring the storm, Mr.
Timmins said, could not be described.
Women and children weTe crowded
into tbe Tremont hotel, where he was
seeking shelter, and alt night these
unfortunates were bemoaning their loss
of kindred and fortune. They were
grouped about the stairways and in the
galleries Hud rooms of the hotel. What
was occurring in other parts of the
city he could only conjectnre.
Provisions w ill be badly needed, as
a great majority of the people lost »11
they had.
The waterworks power
house was wrecked and a water famine
is threatened, as the cisterns were all
ruined by the overflow of salt water.
This, Mr. Timmins regards as the most
serious trouble to be faced now. The
city is in darkness, the electrio plant
buving been ruined.

Texas last night was the most disas
trous that has ever visited this section.

it certain that there has been great loss
of life aud destruction of property all

land. Every town that is reached re
ports one or more dead, and tha prop
erty damage is so great there is no way
of computing it accurately.
The small town ol tirookahire, on tbe
Missouri, Kansas A Texas, was almost
wiped out by the storm. Tbe crew of
a work train brought iu thia informa
tion. Wiieu the train left there, the
bodies of four persons bad been recov

news was recevied from there, and at
that time the water was «unrounding

was rising and tha waves coming high.
From the new town, which ia some
distance back, it was reported that tbe
water had reached the depot and was
running through the streets. The peo
