Valdez Freight and a Fair List
of Passengers.
« _
The steamer Alameda, of the Alaska
Steamship company, in command of
Captain Warner, reached Valdez at 5
o’clock this morning and sailed west
ward at 11 o’clock. In spite of the
two extra calls at Wrangell and Pet
ersburg the steamer made a quick
trip north, being favored with good
weather all the way. On the trip
south it is expected Captain Warner
will order the engin er to use the
three boilers in order to make up
enough extra time to assure the ar
rival of the steamer in Seattle by
Christmas.
Seventy-five tons of mere andlse
was aboard the chip for Valdez mer
chants, besides ten tons of perish
ables for Fort Liscum. The following
passengers were aboard:
J. C. Martin, Mrs. F. M. Brown,
Miss N. Goodwin. Miss H. Cooper,

GENERAL VILLA
SOME BANDIT
Takes Entire Stocks of Chihuahua
Merchants and Auctions Them
in the Streets.
I
I
EL PASO. Dec. 17.—1Two hundred
foreigners reached this city today
from Chihuhua, repor'ing the whole
sale theft of all their property by I
General Pincho Villa and his band of
rebels, who stole everything in the
city not the property of loyal rebels.
The entire stocks of goods owned by
foreign merchants were confiscated
and sold ai public auction by order of
General Villa. The Spanish store
keepers were the heaviest losers.
Great indignation is expressed here
at the action of General Villa and the
refugees declare him to be no better
than a bandit. The Catholic priests
who escaped from Chihuahua report
the looting of all the church buildings
in the city by the rebel soldiers.
Think of It!
Two brothers, each of whom is
nearly six 1 ‘’. and a half tall, were
one day introamed by an acquain
tance to a young lady.
As she sat gazing up at the pair of
giants in wonder and awe. she ex
claimed: ‘‘Goodness! Suppose there
had only been one of you,!”
Y. M. C. A.
, There will be a most important
meeting of the members and contrib
utors of the Y. M. C. A. on Wednes
day evening, Dec. 17, at 7:30 o’clock
at the new Everyman’s Clubhouse.
CABLE BROKEN
NEAR VALOEZ
Nobody Knows When It Will be Re
paired—Burnside Is on the Way
to Seattle.
The Valdez-Sitka cable was broken
this morning at 10:30 and the tests
show the break to have happ ned
near Valdez. Liett. Dougherty, in
charge of this division of the cable,
has requested that the Burnside be
immediately sent north to make the
repair.
The anchor of the Alameda is be
lieved to have become foul of the
government cable. It is known that
the Alameda wns delayed for an hour
trying to pull up anchor, and now it
is thought that the anchor was
caught in the cable.
It is not known when the repair
ship Burnside can reach Valdez, as
she is now en route to Seattle and
will have to continue to the Spirit
City for fuel oil and provisions and
will then return north.
