placed under control by rigorous re
pressive measures which are limiting
its spread, the epidemic is developing
in country districts to an alarming ex

San Francisco, Aug. *24 News is
brought here by a vessel bringing sal
mon from Nushagak, Alaska, of a race
war between Indian and Chinese can
nery employes. A petty dispute be
tween an Indian and a Chinaman
brought on a general engagement be
tween the races in which several men
were badly hurt.
Th-> Chinese, 100 in number, were
driven iuto their bunkhouse and be
sieged there four days. The Indians
swore they would exterminate the
'Chines*, and the white men were un
able to induce them todesist from their
warlike attitude. Finally troops were
obtained from the military post at St.
Michael and the riot was quelled.
Assistant l\ S. Attorney Clegg was
* ” **
: in Nushagak July *25. The salmon run
was just then over and the outbreak
j must have occurred immediately sub
sequent to his departure. He was
much surprised when shown the cubic
message telling of the trouble, saying
that the natives are extremely peace
altla and he could hardly conceive of
their being wrought up to such a belli
gerent pitch as that reported. He
knew of no place along the Nushagak
river where so many as 100 Chinese
were employed this year except at
Clark’s Point, where the Alaska Pack
ers’ Association has two canneries in
charge of Superintendent Johuson. All
through the Bristol Bay region, whites,
natives, Chinese and Japanese are em
ployed and the only eruptions have
been caused by the'Japanese, who arc
always ready' for a scrap.
