Maoy Things
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.]
Washington, Oct. 14? Gen. Williams,
of the department of the Columbia,
with headquarters at Vancouver, I
Wash., in his annual report to the war
department, makes numerous recom
mendations regarding army and cable '
service in Alaska. Among the army 1
recommendations is the abandonment
of Fort Davis, near Nome, and its trans
fer to Fort William B. Seward. In ca
ble matters he recommends that the
cableship Burnside be assigned for per
manent duty in Alaska and Puget sound
waters; the cable lie extended from
Resurrection bay to Dutch Harbor on
accou.it of the importance of the latter
point in peace or war, as a coaling sta
tion, and that wireless telegraph is the
feasible scheme for connection of St.
Michaels with the Dutch Harbor exten
sion of the cable. He also recommends
that special means be exerted for the
comfort of the signal corps men in
I Alaska.
Gen. Greely also recommends many
extensions to the Alaskan cable service
which are indorsed by Gen. Williams.
