CITY ESTABLISHED AT MOUTH
OF BONANZA, CHISANA
DAWSON. Aug. 15.—Fifteen ar
rived on steamer Yukon tonight
from Lower Yukon en route tc the
Ohisana strike. They include several
from Fairbanks who prefer the
White river route saving that no one
has yet found out any particulars at
Fairbanks as none have :ome down
the Tanana to Fairbanks from Chis
aua as yet. Several claims in the
new district according to arrivals
changed hands with the price well
into the thousands.
Owners are now here from several
Chisana claims, and declare that
they are satisfied that it will be as
great a camp as Dawson. They are
shipping outfits up the White river
by steamer, and will pole and take
horses the remaining distance about
ninety miles from Donjek. Waller
has been appointed the United
States commissioner and recorder
for the new precinct and has his.
office at the mouth of Bonanza
which is just on the edge of the
timber line. The city will be built
there as many arc now building {per
manent camps there, and the pcpula- j
tion is increasing daily.
All are very optimistic who have
come out from the Chisana and give
glowing renorts. but they say that
the grub shortage is fearful and
many are suffering. Work will have
to be tied up if those who have for-,
warded supplies fail to rush them j
through at once.
FAIRBANKS, Aug. 14-15.—Con-:
flicting reports are reaching here
concerning the strike which has been
made in the Chisana. For example (
Joe McDonald received a wire from ;
his brother-in-law today at Tonsina 1
advising him not to stampede, as !
only one rich spot had been found !
in Chisa ta. On the other hand Chas
Spann a w* tl known miner received
a letter fr jvn his partner to come
immedii tel • to the new diggings and
he predicted lfc.pt,, Jlie camp would
be better han Dawson.
The ateamer Tana is scheduled to
leave tomorrow for the head waters
of the Tan ana. and will carry a full
load of freight and passengers all
bound for the new strike. The
Samson m;.v go later, but it depends
very much on how reports art; com
ing out. So far the stampeders
who immediately intend to depart
have gone it appears.
A cave- n occurred on seventeen
Goistream yesterday in which two
men were buried. One who was
slightly njured was rescued im
mediately and the other was killed
in the t- av e-in, but his body was not
recovered for several hours later.
Contintous rains for several days
have supplied the creeks with plenty
of water, and the rivers are now
high enough for navigation.
A new ore body has been discover
ed on the Newsboy mine which is
high grade and looks good.
The government has authorized
the White Pass steamers to carry
mail until the freeze-up, and this
means greatly improved service for
1 the Tanana valley.
Howard Rolston a graduate of the
: Fairbanks high school has been sue
. cessful in obtaining an appointment
j to West Point.
| Falcon Joslyn has ordered the
abandoned Kaltag radio plant ship
ped to Chisana where a wireless
I station will be established as soon
as the material can be got in there.
It will probably be taken via White
river and freighted overland from
Donjek.
DISCOVER REVOLUTIONARY
PLOT RY MERE CHANCE
PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, Aug.
15.—The flag ship of the Cuban
navy ran down a flllibustering ex
pedition off the Santo Domingo
coast. The Cyban coast guard ship
Hatuey commanded by Captain Tru
jillo while cruising in West Indian
waters in a fog ran down a sailing
vessel which reached the shore be
fore sinking. An investigation show
ed that the cargo consisted of arms
and ammunition in large quantities
and was consigned to the Santo
Domingo revolutionists. The Hatuey
seized the cargo and crew and the
latter furnished the first information
of the proposed new rebellion which
was thus nipped in the bud.

ONE THOUSAND SOLDIERS
SENT TO NANAIMO STRIKE
VANCOUVER, B. C.. Aug. 15.—
The government has become very
much alarnud at the situation in
the coal mining regions in Van
couver island as a result of the riots
there, and has dispatched oue
thouu'.d troops to the scene of the
trouble.
The rioters burned the homes of
the strike breakers in Extension and
have driven a large number of the
strike breakers out of town. The
strikers say that they will preserve
order in case the special police are
•withdrawn.
Full accounts show that the riot
ing assumed very serious dimensions,
and that the strikers had control of
the town. The trouble started when
police attacked some pickets which
tried to persuade the strike breakers
not to go to work, but to join the
union men. The police who were
guarding the scabs tried to drive the
pickets away but the latter were
reinforced and the fighting soon be
came general with the strikers
rapidly getting the upper hand, and
driving the strike breakers before
them. They then attacked the strike

BULGARS HAVE BIG SUPPORT
TO RECOVER ADRIANOPLE
PARIS, Aug. 15.—France and
Russia will unite to compel Turkey
to evacuate Adrianople and relin
quish that city to the Bulgarians.
Russia has assured Bulgaria that
all her support will be rendered in
en f«<,n secure the withdrawal
of troops from the City of Adrian
ople, and France has followed suit
( by saying that the action of Russia
| has her most cordial supoprt.
It is proposed that all the powers
refuse to grant Turkey any loans
unless the evacuation of Adrianople
takes place within a specified time.
It is not known what action will
be taken by the triple alliance in
the matter, but it is generally agreed
that no action supporting' Turkey
can very well be undertaken at this
time. Great Britain it is stated in
the evening papers has declined to
be drawn into any controversy in
volving the conquered territory, and
will therefore maintain a neutrality
in the matter.
That there are still startling pos
sibilities in the refusal of Turkey
to withdraw her forces from Adrian
ople, depends entirely upon whal
action will be taken by the German
and Austrian government for or
against the Porte.
CROWDS JAM COURT TO
SUFFOCATION AT DIGGS TRIAL
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.—The
Camiaetti-Diggs trials draw great
crowds and the court room and cor
ridors are packed to suffocation.
The ba liffs have been forced to close
the iloors long before the court
opens. The trial judge himself ex
perienced considerable difficulty in
making his way through the huge
crowds in the corridors and when he
reache*; the bench this morning
after a severe struggle he immedi
atel* c rdered that hereafter the pas
sage ways be kept clear and admon
ished the bailiffs for their laxity in
this regard thus subjecting the court
to much inconvenience.
The majority of those who have
been seeking admisison to the court
room have been so far women who
manifest tremendous interest in the
proceedings. Many social workers
have obta ned permission to attend
the trial :o observe the testimony
of the g rls as to their downfall.
Several n. aisters have denounced
the newspapers especially the Exam
iner for printing in full the evidence
in the trial which is already rivalling
the Hearst papers in New York dur
ing the trial of Harry K. Thaw. The
ministers allege that the matter is
entirely too “spicy” for an entrance
into homes. They have declared
their intention to ask the city au
thorities to take measures to censor
the press if the present tone of the
trial continues.
Loro Noris succeeded Martha
Warrington on the stand today, and
stated in a frank and explicit man
ner all about the Reno trip, making
a very damaging story against Diggs
and Caminetti. Her evidence was
given in much better shape than that
of Miss Warrington and proves the
guilt of the men to a damaging de
gree. It i6 conceded that she will
be a dangerous witness in the case,
and the conviction of Maurv Digg3
seems to be inevitable.*
SULZER DOWN AND OUT FOR
PRESENT; FIGHT PROCEEDS
NEW YORK, Aug. 15—Impatient
ly waiting for the developments
which are early expected, the move
made by Lieutenant Governor Glynn
to assume charge of the Empire
State executive passes almost un
noticed. It is reported that Glynn
has Sulzer's support in his recent
action pending the final action of the
courts, and it is while awaiting this
that the Lieutenant Governor will
be allowed to r.ssume executive au
thority under protest.
The victory for Tammany is com
plete as far as Sulzer Is concerned
for the present, but it is quite clear
that the supporters of the Governor
have no intention of letting the mat
ter end where it is at present.

Alr-.-ady the Tammany papers are
demarding of Glynn that he remove
the appointees of the Sulzer govern
ment, but so far Glynn is acting in
a sy hinxlike manner, and appears to
be prepared to play his own game.
The < port that there is an under
standing between him and the ma
jority leaders does not appear to be
well founded, and it is not at all
imjovsible that in Glynn, Tammany
ma:' find an even more redoubtable
foe t van in Sulzer. Glynn has now
the i ower, and for him the psycholo
gical moment has arrived which may
land him in the most prominent
posit on in the country, if he will
take up the battle against Tammany
wh?te Sulzer was compelled to leave
off ii defeat.
Keizer still asserts his intention
of Baking the matter a test subject
in the courts.
CASTRO HAS GOVERNMENT
GUESSING IN VENEZUELA
BOGAOT, Aug. 15.—The Castro
rebellion in Venezuela is far from
crushed. Authentic reports from
customs officials on the border show
that the main body of the Castro
army is safe in hiding in the moun
tain fastnesses on the Venezulan
frontier where the federal forces
have been attempting to locate him.
Owing to the great cleverness of
Castro they da/e not venture into
the mountains to dislodge the man
and his rebels.
_
CARACAS, Aug. 15. — General
Laguia, the commander of the
federal troops who is in pursuit of
the Castro rebels telegraphed today
to the Minister of War that he is
! nnaMe tc locate the main army of
the ex-president, and owing to the
exhaustion of his supplies must re
turn to the capital to recuperate the
same. He also states that he will
ueeri additional soldiers before at
tempting to carry the campaign into
tne mountainous country where is
Castro and his men.
The government officials here are
greatly disappointed as the first re
[ ports received had led th°m to be
lieve that they had been successful
in destroying the army of the man
who is now feared here so much.
Castro’s popularity is much
greater than the government desires
| to see.
