Has Explored Brazilian River for
Thousand Miles and Discovered
New Tribe of Natives.
NEW YORK, May 1.-—Dispatches
were received late yesterday from
Colonel Roosevelt conveying the in
formation that he had recently ex
perienced a severe illness but was re
covering. The delay of the party in
reaching the coast was due to the col
onel’s illness. The message does not
state what the nature of the sick
ness was but it is believed to be duo
to exposure in the tropical swamps,
to which so many venturesome whites
have succumbed.
Roosevelt’s message states that his
party discovered and explored an un
known river for more than 1,000
miles from its junction with the Ama
zon. The river is believed to be the
stream called the "River of Doubt”
on the old Portuguese maps, and is
said never (o have been explored by
whites beyond a few hundred miles
from the Amazon.
South Americans, who are in New
%
j York, believe that the unknown tribe
of natives mentioned in Roosevelt’s
dispatches belong to the Pauhates.
The latter are known to inhabit the
upper reaches of the "River of Doubt.”
Several members Qf the tribe have
been taken prisoners by other tribes
and have been held as slaves. They
are described as being of small stat
ure and wear no bodily covering of
any nature.
NORTHWESTERN HAS
PEW PASSENGERS
SEATTLE, May 1.—The North
western sailed last night for Valdez
and other Alaskan ports with the
lightest passenger list of any steamer
leaving for the northland in several
months. Officials of the transporta
tion companies expect a few quiet
weeks before the busy summer sea
son begins. All northerners who were
bound for the interior and wished to
get home before the opening of nav
igation have gone north.
A big summer tourist trade is an
ticipated as a greater number of en
quiries have been received regard
ing the schedule of sailings and the
accommodations offered than ever be
fore. The passengers on the North
western for Valdez were John Olson,
Mrs. Spiers, Miss Merlin and Roy
Houshan. She also carried eleven
second-class passengers.
LATOUCHE COMING
WITH PASSENGERS
SEATTLE, May 1.—The freighter
Latouehe sailed for Alaskan ports Iasi
night with 25 passenger's and a ca
pacity load of freight. -She carries an
unusual amount of mining machin
ery and supplies for the mining
camps on the coast sections.

militia. Several pitched battles took
place during the night and twelve
militiamen were killed and nine mor
tally wounded in the battles which
were waged for several hours near
the Forbes mine, where the strik
ers killed eight strike breakers yes
terday.
The strikers greatly outnumbered
the militiamen and guards and are
apparently well supplied with arms
and ammunition. They have thrown
up breastworks and are preparing to
give battle to the regular troops.
They occupy advantageous positions
from whicb the troops will have dif
ficulty in dislodging tbem. The lead
ers of the miners declare that they
will refuse to give up their arms and
will fight to a finish. It Is not known
how many of the strikers were kill
ed or injured as friends have re
moved them to places of safety.
While the battles waged intense
excitement prevailed In the town aa
the heads of the families were among
the striven. The militiamen, who
are patrolling the streets, were un
able to control the mobs of excited
women as they Purged tbWaM the
scene of the firing.

constituencies with the elections com- {
ing on this fall docs not appeal to
the lawmakers. While they have been
attending to their official duties in
the capital others have been busy
building political fences and arrang- j
ing vigorous campaigns which will re
sult in many changes after the elec-1
tions. Many of the congressmen have
been unable to visit their constitu
ents during the past year with the
exception of a hurried trip htyne dur
ing the N'ew Year holidays and the
prospect of having to spend anoth
er summer sweltering in the heat
of the city does not appeal to them.
The passenger list of the Alameda
when she sailed from Seattle showed
the names of many former northern
people who had (jult the country be
lieving they were through with Alas
ka. The call of the northland has
evidently been too strong for them
and they have returned to help build
the new railroad tpwns.
