By HAL JUNEAU, Alaska, Sept. 14, via Seat- tle, Wash., Sept. 20.—The Alaska Com- mercial Company's steamer, Dora, Cap- tain Johansen, arrived from the west- ward last night with news of an exten- sive and terrible earthquake extending from Bituya Bay, 150 miles below Ya- kutat, 500 miles northwest into the Cook Inlet country. It was the great- est phenomenon witnessed in Alaska since a similar occurrence in the early days of the Russian traders. After a short period of darkness the edrth literally sank down into the sea and new islands and peninsulas rose up like huge leviathans showing their backs above the surface. Mountains were shaken down and their tops slid into the ocean. The whole was ac- companied by several tidal waves, one of them fifteen feet high. The shocks occurred every day for a week, from Sunday, the 3d inst, to Sunday, the 10th inst, and were felt last Sunday at Juneau. Three very hard shocks were felt here. One early in the morning and another about 2 o’'clock in the after- noon and the third about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Buildings were badl shaken and people ran out into the streets in their fright. There were minor tremblings all day long. The large buildings, such as the Occidental Hotel, Stannis Hospital and the churches, shook and rattled like a crazy No damage to property s done here or elsewhere.

Captain Johan- sen says that in two minutes the ocean rose twenty feet above high tide mark and almost as quickly subsided. The natives took to the high ground in terror, and fell on their knees be- seeching the great Father to save them and their village. ~This high water caught up all manner of drift wood, logs, canoes, ete., and these raced back and forth and across the bay carried by strong currents which swept in every direction. When the Dora arrived at Yakutat a few days ago on the return trip the Indians had deserted their houses near the beach, and were living | in tents on the high ground. They were still in great alarm. At least thirty Yakutat Indians are now in Juneau, having deserted their homes and all their property {n seeking safety In flight. A good story is told on the two Swed- ish missionaries at Yakutat, Rev. Mr. Johnsonand Rev. Mr. Hendrickson. They wanted to leave, but the Indians would not let them go.

It is evident from the foregoing dis- patch that General Castro has a for- midable army to attack President An- drade’s troops. His action in evacuat- ing Puerto Cabello after occupying it and permitting the Venezuelan troops to take possession is rather puzzling to the officials in view of the fact that the port is quite valuable, both as a base and as a port through which arms and ammunition can be obtained. It is pos- sible that Castro thinks it necessary British-Venezuelan boundary dispute. No matter what the governing power may be, such power will be required to enforce the award, probably by the United States, which is certainly inter- ested in the settlement of the dispute. The decision of the arbitration tribunal is expected to occur within the next ten days, as Lord Russell, head of the British delegation, is expected to wit- ness the New York yacht races, and Chief Justice Fuller will be in Wash- ington in time to open the fall'term of the Supreme Court on October 10. ’ “cessful military demons ! the Supervisors in special session directed | the city.

ONTEREY, Sept. 20.—A home wedding took place in this city this morning, which, though very quiet, was one of the most noted af- fairs of the kind that has ever occurred hereabouts. Leese, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Leese of this city, grandniece of that famous old Californian, General M. G. Vallejo, was married to Ernest W. Michaelis of San Francisco, in the presence of only the families of the bride and bridegroom. The ceremony took place at 10 o'clock. The house was elaborately decorated and a wedding breakfast followed the ceremony. The bride, who is a petite brunette of the pure Spanish type, looked very lovely in her white bridal gown. Miss Charlotte Michaelis, sister of the bridegroom, attended the bride and E. Richard Leese acted as best man. Mr. and Mrs. Michaelis took the noon train for San Francisco, where they will reside. The bridegroom is a member of the printing firm of Michaelis Bros. of He San Francisco and a son of Judge E.

It is about a column in length and is intendoid to gcarify the consciences of the ‘unco guid’ when published. Sir Alfred Mil- ner has written a courteous message to President Steyn, assuring him that th«t northward march of the British troops is not meant as a menace to the Orange | Free State, and requesting to be in- formed regarding the latter's attitude. Reliable information has been received here that a large command of Free State burghers has been concentrated near Boshof, on the Kimberley border. Two hundred burghers were dispatched to that point from Bloemfontein during the past week. If the Free State joins the Transvaal the first battle is likely to be fought at Boshof. The Cape Cab- net has determined to prolong the ses- sion of the Assembly indefinitely ~so that it may be sitting when hostilities begin."” 1ef\{('(‘nrrflng to the Cape Town corre- epondent of the Daily News, President Kruger, in his personal appeal to her Majesty, addresses the monarch as “Dear Queen.” The Johannesburg correspondent of the Morning Post says: “The Boer preparations are as complete as the Government can hope to make them.
