the condition of the native along the
Alaskan coast and the adjacent isl
and. At Sinrock the surgeon of the
vessel, who wa sent ashore, reported
that measles were epidemic, and that
pneumonia wa prevalent and fatal
At Teller Station, where the govern
ment ha a reindeer station, much sick
ues and muny death among the na
tives was reported. At Cape York the
tame fatal sickness was lonnd among
the natives. Going on to Cape Prince
of Wales, practically the same desper
ate condition waa found to exist as at
other places. From that point the
Hear proceeded to East Cape Village,
Siberia, and thence to St. Lawrence
bay and Port Clarence. Everywhere
tbe vessel touched officers were sent
ashore to investigate the condition,
and reported that tbe native never bad
been in a worse condition.
At Teller Station affair were desper
ate. Fully one-balf of tbe natives
around the station bave died. In aome
cases whole families bave disappeared,
and in others the parent have died,
leaving helpless children. Tbe salmon
are running, but there are not sufficient
number of well people to catch tbem
and thu provide food for tbe present
and the coming winter. The ravages
of the disease have been so great that a
panlo has seized the native, and the
dead are left uu buried in their bouses,
In their d 1st res the natives in tbe
vicinity of Teller are collecting there
for food and medical attention. Rev,
T. T. Bevig, although not a physician,
has set up a few tents aud ia running
a temporary hospital, having 12 tick
and 12 orphan children under bis care,
furnishing them with food as best be
can. He is said to be in great need ot
pilot bread, flour and clothing tor tbe
natives in extreme distress. There is
said to be no record during the last 60
years of the degree of destitution that
now prevails upon tbe whole Behring
sea coast.
Captain Tuttle concludes hit report

"At a conference with Governor
Brady, of Alaska, and J. . Evans,

don Jackson and myself, in reference
to the deplorable condition of the na
tive north of Unalaska, tt waa de
clared that relief must be afforded
them or they would perish from cold
and starvation during the coming win

whatever could be procured to distri
bute north of Cape Prince of Wale.
Special Agent Evan at once ordered a
load, which waa put on board.
teamed to Unalaska to get aome Stores
to be put on board."
Captain Tuttle aays he is going to
make another trip north to distribute
tbe few things that were received and
to attend to the government business
tie report mat the natives are
thoroughly demoralized through their
condition and fright and superstition,
Tbia is tbe first time they have not se
cured their winter supply of food.
Captain Tuttle says he believes thai
it it were not for tbe little relief be is
taking to them on his present trip,
there would not be 10 per cent of them
alive next June.

remaining through tbe hurricane on
Saturday be departed from Galveston
on a schooner and came across tbe bay
to Morgan's point. "where be caught a
train for Houston. Tbe hurricane,
Mr. Timmins laid, wai the worst ever
known.
The estimates mada by citizens of
Galveston wa? that 4,000 bouses, most
of them residences, have been de
stroyed, and that at least 1.G00 people
have been drowned, killed or are miss
ing. Some business bouses were also
destroyed, but most of tbem stood,
though badly damaged. ,
Tbe city, Mr. Timmins avers, is a
complete wreck, to far as be could see
from the water front and from the Tre
mout hotel. Water was blown over
the island by the. hurricane, the wind
blowing at tbe rate of 80 miles an
bour, straight from the gulf, and fore
ing tne sea be tore it In big waves.
Tbe gale was a steady one, tbe heart
of it striking the city about 5 o'clock
yesterday evening and continuing with
out intermission until midnight last
nigbt, when it abated somewhat, al
though it continued to blow all night.
In tbe bay tbe carcasses ot nearly 300
horse and mules were aeen, but no
human body was visible.
Tbe scenes during tbe storm, Mr.
Timmins said, could not be described.
Women and children were crowded
into the Tremont hotel, where he was
seeking shelter, and all night these
unfortunates were bemoaning their loss
of kindred and fortune. They were
grouped about the stairway and In tbe
galleries and rooms of tbe hotel. What
waa occurring in other parts ot the
city he could only conjecture.
Provisions win be badly needed, aa
a great majority of the people lost all
tney nad. I be waterworks power
bouse waa wrecked and a water famine
is threatened, as the cisterns were all
mined by the overflow of salt water,
This, Mr. Timmins regarda as tbe most
serious trouble to be faced now. Tbe
city is in darkness, the electric plaut
having been ruined.
Kitendcd loo Mllea Inland.
Houston, Texas, Sept. 11. The
itorm that raged along the coast of
Texaa last nigbt was tbe most disas
trous that haa ever visited this section,
Tbe wires are down, and there is no
way of (lading ont just what baa hap
pened, but enough is known to make
it certain that there has been great loss
ot life and destruction of property all
along the coast and for 100 miles in
land. Every town that is reached re
porta one or more dead, and the prop
erty damage is so great there is no way
of computing it accurately.
The small town ot Brookshire, on tbe
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, was almost
wiped out by the storm. The crew of
a work train brought iu this informa
tion. When the train left there, the
bodies of four persons had been reoov
ered. aud the search for others was pro
ceeding.
Ilempstaed, across the country from
Brookshire, was also greatly damaged.
Sabiue Pass has not been heard from
today. Yesterday morning the last
news was recevied from there, and at
that time the water waa surrounding
the oh) town at the pass and tbe wind
waa rising and the wavea coming high.
From the new town, which is some
distance back, it waa reported that tbe
water bad reached the depot and was
running through the streets. Tbe peo
ple were leaving for tbe high country
known at tbe back ridge, and it ia be
lieved that a'l escaped.
' Three bodies have been brought in
from Seabrooke, on Galveston bay, and
17 persona are missing.

GOLD FROM VALDES.
Steamer Berth Said to Have Brought
Down aao.ooo.
Seattle, Sept. 10. The steamship
Berbta arrived from Values last night.
She brought about $30,000 in gold
dust. Arthur Campbell, of the Alk
Development Company, returned from
Kyak, where the company has found
oil and coal.
Whether the earthquake disturb
ances which were felt on Lynn canal
and at tbe bead of the 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 tha
latter place. Five indiani are known
to have been killed.
Tbe news was brought from Lituya
bay to Yakutat by Indians in canoes.
Tbe disturbances there occurred on
August 11, one day after the earth
quake thockt above referred to. They,
apparently proceeded from the district
in which Mount St. Eliai and Mount
Fairweatlier are situated. On August
11 two heavy shocks were felt, accord
ing to the Indians. Tbe second sho k
created great havoc, as well as destroy
ing five lives., Tbe Indian informants
told person at Yakutat that five of
the immense glacier which head into
Lituay bay weree dislodged by the
disturbance and were sent crashing
into the bay, partly filling it with great
mountains of ice.
Tbe five Indiana are reported to bave
been killed on a imall island situated
out about a mile from tbe face ol ouq
of the glacier. They were in a cave
and were drowned by the great rush of
water which swept over ,the island
when the ice rivers crashed down into
the bay. Chief George, jne of the
beet-known characters in tbe north,'
was one of the drowned Indians. It is
said that the cave cache in which they
were caught was bis personal prop
erty. No definite new concerning tbe
strike on Dornix creek, at the head of
the Copper river, had been brought out
to Valdes, outside of what was already
known when the steamer Bertha left.
The government trail, under the direc
tion of Captain Abercrombie, had ap
proached within 70 miles of the strike,
or a distance of 170 miles from Valdes,
and work was being pushed with all
speed, so as to connect the district by
trail with Valdes for tbe coming win
ter. Unless this (hall be aconiplished
it will be almost impossible to trans
port supplies to tbe sCene of tbe gold
discovery through the winter months.
RANGE WAR IN COLORADO.
Cowboys Drore 3.000 Sheep Over a
High Precipice.
Walsenburg, Colo., Sept. 10. Re
ports received from Sharpsdale, a small
town near Mount Blanco, in Southern
Colorado, say that tbe feud over tba
use of tbe range, which has long exist
ed between cattlemen and sheepmen,
reached a climax this week when the
cattlemen drove 8,000 sheep over a
high precipice. The trouble ha grown
out of tbe scarcity of water along tba
water courses. Where grass still re
mains the sheep weie pastured and af
ter they bad once passed, cattle re
fused to eat, and either died or became
very poor. Tbe 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 which aw
ancient waterfall had hollowed out
pit over 200 feet deep. Faster and
faster the animals ran, urged on by the
shouts ot tbe cowboys, until the leader
paused at tbe brink. The press .be
hind him forced him over and tbe
others followed. Some of the last who
fell on the bodies of the fiiBt were not
killed, but tbe majority were killed.'
It ia stated that the entire country hat
taken np arms. '
