opinion of United States Marshal

swung a bard right to the mouth of
Disuuy, who went down, the blood
flowing in n stream.

right between Victor's eyes. For a

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

Another eruplon of Katmai Is pos

to have beon lieard this morning.
