Report From Cape Nome.
Washington, Oct 25. Captain Shoe
maker, chief of the revenue cutter
service, received from Lieutenant Jar-
vis a brief report, dated St. Michael,
Alaska, September 80, on the recent
trip of the revenue cutter Bear to Point
Barrow, in the course of which he says:
"At Cape Nome are some 8,500 peo
ple, with the possible addition of from
500 to 1,000 from Yukon river points.
I think there will bo ample accommo
dations for all desiring to go out, and
also sufficient provisions for those who
remain. Typhoid fever is prevalent,
but the coming cold weather is ex
pected to check it.
Good order is maintained, but
there is a lawless element it is desired
to get rid of before the winter closes,
and I will co-ojerate with the military
authorities and the United States mar
shal to that end. There is also a large
number of sick and indigent whom it
will he necessary to take away on the
Bear to prevent suffering. The Bear is
en route to Sitka."

ment is badly in need of repair, and

tion np to the average standard.

about 100 killed and 150 wounded.
The fight itself was like a practical
Illustration of handbook tactics, each
arm represented doing its proper work
to perfection.
"The Gordon Highlanders, in their
attack, advanced in magnificent order.
They were immediately saluted w 1th a
heavy fire, which told from the first.
Their major fell with a bullet in his
leg, but as he lay where he fell, he lit
a pipe and smoked placidly while the
advance continued. As man after man
dropped, supports were rushed into the
firing line, our men darting from cover
to cover, splendidly led and ever ad
vancing. Yet, as ridge after ridge was
won, the Highlanders still found a new
ridge confronting them, and thus they
fought their bleeding way until the
final ridge was neared, with nearly
ivery officer down.
"Then, slamming every available
nian into the firing line, Manchester,
Devons and light horse all mixed, with
bugles chanting the advance, bagpipes
shrieking and the battle a confused
surge, our men swept yelling forward
and the position was won.
"Meanwhile, squadrons of lancers
and dragons lapped round the Boer left
flank, catching the enemy as they re
tired in order, goring and stamping
them to pieces. And the commando
was not."
