Not being an armored vessel and fearing the result of a broadside on the United States mail, the Coleman being a mail boat, Captain Piper sheered off and steamed for Dyea. There he laid the situation before United States Commissioner J. U. Smith and asked the aid of the United States troops to recover the ves- sel. Deputy Marshal Cudihee said that no troops would be required. ‘War- rants were issued by the United States Commissioner for Captain John Doe of the Canada on a charge of piracy, the real name of the captain not hav- ing been ascertained. The warrant also included his nine men. The Cole- man put back immediately ¥or the Canada with the Deputy Marshal to serve the warrants. The Marshal de- clared himself and the Coleman was allowed to come alongside. The war- rants were served without trouble. Cap- tain John Doe sald: “Well, boys, my bluff didn’t work.” The ten men- were taken back to Dyea and are there now awaiting n hearing on a very severe charge, which will now be prosecuted by the Govern- ment. The original three are again in possession of the prize. HAL HOFFMAN. HALTS AT DYEA. The Klondike Relief Train Halted by Order of Secretary Alger.

R. A. ALGER.” Though not very explicit, unofficially it was learned that this refers to the relief expedition and not to the snow- fall, the current of the Dyea River or anything else. Major Rucker would not talk about the telegram. The troops are resting Mon their arms and bacon and flour, ‘awaliting further orders. The opinion in camp is that the expedition will be abandoned. Major Rucker has not heard from General Merriam who, at last accounts, had gone to Washing- ton, D. C., in connection with the diffi- culty which arose concerning the tak- ing of arms into Canadian territory. 5 HAL HOFFMAN.

Plans for the Transcontinental Jour= ney Arranged on a Magnificent Scale. Special Dispatch to The Call. ROSTON, March 11.—At the close of a highly successful season of opera in Italian, at the Boston Theater this afternoon Messrs. Damrosch & Ellis made an an- nouncement of great importance. It was to the effect that Madame Melba and a specially selected company would make a tour of California and the Pa- cific Slope including the city of San Francisce. Mme. Melba will be the star of the organization and will be supported by an aggregation of famous artists. Mr. Charles A. Ellis, who has directed the personal management of Melba for the past three years, will conduct the tour, traveling with Melba over the entire route, which covers a territory of over 10,000 miles. “We anticipate a welcome for Mme. Melba in the country between the Mis- sissippl and the Pacific that will easily surpass the enthusiasm of the Bast,” said Mr. Charles Strine, the business manager to-night. The tour will begin almost immedi- ately after the completion of the Dam- rosch-Ellis grand opera season .at the ‘Auditorium in Chicago next Monday. Beginning in the Auditorium in St Louis, Melba will be heard in the rol= of probably the greatest success of her career, one in which severe critical opin- jon has credited her with effacing even the recollection of past mistresses of this characterization—Rosina in the “Barber of Seville,” Rossini's fluent and difficult opera. Kansas City, Om- aha, Denver, Salt Lake, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and Butte will be visited in turn, and after the journey across the Rockies and the stretches of the North- west the tour will be completed at St. Paul and Minneapolis. Then Melba will leave at once for New York in tim= to catch the earliest outgoing steam- ship for Southampton and will arrive in London in time to fulfill her con- tract in Covent Gardens. Plans of the most elaborate nature are being made for Melba's tour. The company will travel in a special train of Pullman palace cars, which will in~ clude Melba’s private car, to be occu- pied only by herself, her companion and her maids. The journey will be made by special schedule and every care and precaution will be taken to lighten the burden of travel. Mme. Melba is still quite {ll. Her physician was with her all day to-day and she was unable to sing to-night. Mr. Damrosch informed The Call cor- respondent to-night, however, that he had every reason to believe that the diva would be able to open in Chicago on Monday. He was positive that her indisposition is only of a -temporary character and she will recover in plenty of time so that her western trip will not be affected by her illness. It is announced to-day that Nordica's illness is more interesting than serious, and that before long she will be the re- cipient of congratulations. SANTA R0SA PREPARING TO WELCOME PYTHIANS SANTA ROSA, March 11.—The execu- tive committee of the Knights of Pythias announces the following programme for the Grand Lodge festivities to be held here from May 16 to 20, inclusive: On Monday, May 16, the delegates to the Grand Lodge and the Grand Temple of the Rathbone Sisters will arrive and es- tablish headquarters at Odd Fellows’ Hall.

TROUBLE OVER THE BOUNDARY Both American and Ca- nadian Officials Claim Lake Bennett. Mounted Police Captain Defies a United States spector. In- Notifies Klondikers to Refuse to Travel With Him Farther Than White Pass. Special Dispatch to The Call. SKAGUAY, Alaska, March 6 (via Se- attle), March 11.—Rumors were rife a day or two ago that serious complica- tors bound for the Yukon and Canadian customs officers located at the new cus- tom house fourteen miles from Ska- guay. It was reported that 300 men had banded themselves together for the purpose of resisting payment of duty. Investigation, however, proved that the story was unfounded. Duties are be- ing collected with the greatest regu- to pay them. Those who have pai duties say that the Canadian customs officials have not shown an arbitrary or exacting spirit. 3 On February 27 a Montreal party with | Customs Inspector Cates acting as con- voy, | reached the Canadian custom house at White Pass. Deputy United States Collector Floyd of this port had issued instructions to Inspector Cates to accompany the party through to Lake Bennett. Arriving at the custom house, however, the chief of the party conferred with Cap- tain Strickland, the Canadian collec- tor, as to whether he was compelled to take the American inspector to Lake Bennett. “No,"” replied Cantain Strickland. u’re on British soil and you can tell your convoy to get.” Inspector Cates returned to Skaguay and reported the occurrence to Deputy Collector Floyd. Mr. Floyd will con- tinue to instruct the convoys to ac- company any goods to Lake Bennett. even if they are turned back by the Canadians, until he hears from Wash- ington. Between Skaguay and White Pass there are estimated to be 6500 people lining the route, while beyond the pass an equal number are making their way toward the lakes. TEN MEN SLAIN IN THE BOMBAY RIOTS.

BOMBAY, March 11.—The total deaths resulting from the plague riots are those of two soldlers of the Shropshire Regi- ment killed; a municipal Inspector, who accidentally shot himself; four European and four native policemen, with seven- teen civilians injured. One hundred and nine arrests were made. The Hindoos and Mohammedans have begun closing their shops as a protest against the plague measures, and the movement is spreading. About 15,000 dockers, railway laborers “and others have struck work. The city is guarded by infantry, cavalry, marines and armed police. COMPULSORY INSPECTION OF 'MEATS DEMANDED.

Despoiled Argonauts Now Pace the Shore, Hungry and Penniless. CAPTAIN NEARLY MOBBED Refused to Permit Those Aboard to Save Their Outfits From the Flames. Special Dispatch to The Call. SKAGUAY, Alaska, March 5 (by steamship Australia, via Seattle, March 11).—The scene at the burning of the | steamship Whitelaw, the familiar old | San Francisco wrecker, boarded up for the Klondike rush, in Skaguay harbor yvesterday, was one of indescribable ex- | citement and confusion. Thieves turned | out in small boats to loot the cargo. | Freebooters, claiming the right of salv- age, fought with the passengers for the | outfits that floated ashore. Knives and revolvers were drawn on owners of out- fits in a number of instances and their property forcibly taken away from them, and they stood by helplessly watching their last mouthful of provis- jons carried away into the night. actual burning of the ship did not oc- cur until midnight. This scene of free- booting continued through the re- mainder of the night and far into the clear | forenoon. I have just come from the beach. Several wrecked Klondikers are patrol- ling the sand with guns in the crooks of their arms. One of these men is Chas. Gerhardt of San Francisco. He has a large-bore Winchester rifle. Another is John Housted of Sacramento. He has a long knife in a scabbard at his*belt. Others who have neither knives nor firearms carry clubs. Frank Kelly of San Francisco is superintending the collection of the stuff that comes ashore | through the surf. Second Mate John | Roach is assisting him. | I witnessed Gerhardt and a half- | dozen others, with vengeance flashing | in their eyes, pounce upon an old man who was slipping away from the surf with three slabs of singed bacon on his shoulder, throw him violently down on | the sand and take the ‘bacon away. | That was before Gerhardt had yet dis- | covered the gun somewhere. Maybe | $50 worth of half-ruined supplies will | be recovered in this way, out of a car- | go valued at not less, it is said, than | $30,000. . | " The 110 passengers are stranded on a | strange shore. Many are penniless and | know not what to do. Some lost all their clothes and money, and had to borrow from more fortunate friends enough to buy meals. | It was a battle with the fire all of yes- | terday. It is thought it may have been Bburning a day or two. When discovered | in the forward hold about 10 o'clock in the morning, the hatcues were battened down, steam turned into the hold and | every effort made to smother the fire. | The second mate was then sent down in a diving suit into the smoking hold to locate the fire. He turned over the coal and found it was not there. Several times during the day the volume of smoke intreased and the deck got hotter. Cap- tain Lockyer thought he had extinguished the fire late in the afternoon. The pas- sengers lent a hand whenever they could be useful. Many came asnore during the day in small boats which surrounded the smokln% ‘Whitelaw, but most of them stayed by the ship. Though the fire was believed to have been conquered the gen- eral vigilance of the crew and passengers was not decreased. A howling gale with rain and a little snow blew all day long. At about 7 o'clock in the evening, when all had be- gun to breathe easier, flames suddenly burst with a roar into the engine room. It is now known that considerable whisky had been smuggled aboard the ship and the forward hold was nearly filled with hay. Early this morning a beachcomber recovered two barrels of whisky and made off with them in a wagon under the representation that he owned them. The engineer on watch retreated, and soon the flames burst through the sky- light. Then the wind got at them and fanned them furiously. Three streams were turned on and Captain Lockyer whistled for help. Not another ship in the harbor came to his aid. It was a | desperate fight for two hours, during | which the fire gained headway. At 8 o'clock arrangements were made | to save the thirty-four head of livestock and as much of the cargo as possible. It was apparent to the passengers that the ship was lost, but the captain would not give up the fight until the last moment. A lighter was_brought alongside, the livestock was led upon it, some hay and Frovlsions were tumbled aboard, and the ighter, wigh many of the passengers, cut | away. ' The wind was right for blowing it ashore. | The remaining passengers had in the meantime been making desperate efforts to save some of their outfits. All kinds of articles were thrown overboard into the roaring sea. The wind increased in fury. The whole interior of the ship be- | low was on fire. Suddenly flames burst through the deck in several places. The passengers ap- pealed to the captaln to let them take to the ship’s boats, which he had been low- erlng, and take as much of their outfits as they could. This he refused. Captain Lockyer was nearly mobbed, a proceed- ing which was not infrequently ~threat- ened during the voyage, the passengers bieing|resttalned l}ylrg elcllon on the mu- tiny laws, as related In previous dis- patches to The Call. G When it was finally decided to aban- don the ship everybody aboard tumbled over the side into the waiting boats. Ac- counts differ as to whether Captain Lock- yer was the last to leave. The captain | says he was and Second Mate Roach says he was. Several passengers say he was | not. Willlam Hartley, a longshoreman, sa%'s he was the last man aboard. he shitp was abandoned about mid- night. Fifteen minutes later the White- law was a mass of roaring flames from stem to stern. Both sea and wind were rising. It was with great difficulty that these last boats made the shore. The fire lit up the mountain tops cov- ered with snow and illuminated the streets and buildings of Skaguay, nearly a mile away. Many Klondikers who had come ashore | early in the evening hired small hoats and made hazardous trips out to the ship %o save what they could. Their property, when deposited on the beach and insuffi- i cltexl:Uy protected, was forcibly seized and stolen. During the hours that the fire gained headway there was no order on board the ‘Whitelaw. Confusion relfi'ned. The cap- tain was defled, as. he had often been during the voyage north. When there was concerted actian it was through the com- mon hore of savin ‘Mf and property. The Whitelaw burned until after daylight. There were some explosions aboard, as was shown by the sudden upbursting of Lsparks. *All that now remains of the A The | stanchest wooden ship on the Pacific Coast are a few blackened and charred ribs sticking above the sea. At low tide, her boilers and engine frame are visible. The gale still groans and the sea still moans. As the shadows of evening fall, hopeless, despairing pas- sengers walk the beach in the twilight, ghastly by the whitened- mountainsides, saving what bits the sea delgns to throw up to them. Amid the hasty flight from the ship, the disorder, confusion and desperation, It is almost_miraculous that not a life was lost. Every man who sailed from San Francisco has his life to be thankful for. Had the Whitelaw been at sea instead of ! hard on .the beach, where the captain ran her, there is little doubt that there would have been a repetition of the Clara Nevada disaster, from which not a soul was saved. Captain Thomas Locker, at an appoint- n;ent he made with me this afternoon, said: got wood for fuel at the Treadwell mine on Douglass Island, opposite Juneau and sailed north, arriving here yesterday morning. Smoke was seen coming out of the forward hold at about 10 o'clock. I battened down the hatches and turned steam into the hold. When the smoke cleared I sent down a diver to try and locate the fire. It was not in the coal. He could not find just where it was. Then I ran the ship inshore and brought her around broadsides in water of sufficient depth to sink her should we not be able otherwise to extingufsh the fire. From that position the wihd blew her hard aground, and it was not possible to scut- tle her when scuttling would have done some good. I turned steam and streams of water into the hold and opened the sea_cocks, but in spite of every- thing I could do _the fire would flame up again and become Worse. When it broke through the deck the gale got at it and that was the beginning of the end. ‘All the livestock and considerable cargo were saved on the lighter. One man wuo lives in Skaguay, whose name I don’t know, but wish I did, had his horses near the exit. When the time came to hvim to quit the ship he refused to move is animals, having them insured, or there being some other circumstances by which he hoped to profit by their death. Without these animals being got out of the way none of the others could be moved. By a display of force and threats, he was fin- ally prevailed upon to lead them upon the lighter.” “The passengers are telling that you re- fused to allow them to %o ashore in the ship's boats,” I remarked. Then the captain showed exasperation for the first time. He replied, with a dis- play of anger: “Do you think I would let any passen- ger take a boat, go ashore with his stuff and stay away an hour or two with the ship burning?’ “@hey are also saying, captain, that ¥ left the ship ahead of others.” “That is not true. It is a lie. I was in the last boat. I have had trouble with the passengers all the way from San Francisco, and_with the crew, too. The passengers ‘kicked’ and made life miser- | able for me on account of the poor ac- commodations. They should not have sailed in the ship in the first place if the accommodations did not suit them. The | crew was refractory and insubordinate with a few exceptions. Most of the crew | intended to desert the ship and go to the Klondike, if they could, when we reached here. They never intended to return with the ship, and I guess I won’t now, either It was far and away the worst voyage I ever had in my life.” Purser C. H. Jackson said this after- noon that he expected to sail for San Francisco on the Australia. He takes | back an official report of the disaster. | Captain Lockyer and Mr. Jackson lost | | all their personal effects, including cloth- | ing and money.. The ship's papers and | money were. saved. | HAL HOFFMAN. |COSTA RICA GIVEN 5 TEN DAYS' GRACE. | | Ultimatum Sent by theCentral Amer- ican Diet On the Seventh of This Month.
