NEW YORK. July 8.—It was
learned this evening that the tire on
the Minnehaha was caused unques-j
tionably by an explosion. The fate
of the vessel was not known at the
time this dispatch is being sent but
news is expected momentarily. She
has fifteen thousand tons of war
munitions aboard atul all the
facts which have been ascertained up
to the present point to the probability
that Holt was responsible. The chief
*
fact which is now sought is whether
much of the munitions cargo is ex
plosive. If it is the danger is exceed
ingly grave. The final chapter of the
tragedy may be ready for telling be

To Chief Steward “Teddy” Taylor,
, belongs the credit for pulling off a
Fourth of July celebration in Wrang
ell Narrows that was unique in steam
boating in Alaskan waters. He “en
thused" the chef, Fred Cabanas and
the baker, O. Koyne, so they joined in
preparing a patriotic and elegant din
j ner in 12 courses. The menu card
j was embosssed with the flag in colors
on the outer cover and the room was
j decorated in red white and blue with
native flowers from Wrangel. The
tables were covered with U. S. flags
in Dennison paper and the centerpiece
of the large table was a fruit cake
' made to represent the log cabin home,
of an American pioneer. After din
ner, it being Sunday evening, a sacred
| patriotic service was held with Rev.
| C. M. Lathrop presiding and in lieu
i of a sermon, he read some of the J
patriotic and appealing passages from
the speeches of Abraham Lincoln.
A late supper with champagne i
punch ended the Memorable day.
The Mariposa had 2,000 tons of
freight and 200 passengers. She will
load 1200 tons of copper ore at Cor
dova for the trip south.

WAS THE ALAMEDA MAIL
REALLY PLUNDERED.
One Package From Seward, Sent by
George Mirlach, Contained
Hundreds of Dollars.
Further particulars of the alleged
robbery of the registered mail on the
Alameda on a recent outward trip in
dicates that the registered pouches
from Seward, Fairbanks,Valdez and
some other towns were opened and
that several packages of registered
mail were really stolen, although
there is still a hope that some mis
take occurred and that the missing
packages may yet be recovered. It is
stated that each pouch was opened in
a manner that suggests that the op
ener must have had a key and knew
what he was about. Each lock has a
rotatory number and each time this
lock is opened the following number
is registered. The matter is now being
investigated but has not yet been
cleared up. That there was a robbery
seems to be certain but a disposition
is evident on the part of the officials
to suggest that there was simply some
mistake. Some Seward people had
TREASURE UNEARTHED
AND MEN ARRESTED.
Ninety Thousand Dollars Found
Under Circumstances That
Beat Fiction.
SIAM, Iowa, July 9.—A ninety
thousand dollar treasure chest was un
earthed her today after a search of
many years and Bates, a huntsman
aged seventy, and a wealthy farmer
named Henry Scribner, have been ar
rested. The treasure is said to have
been taken from a wealthy cattleman
who with his son was murdered in
1868. Scribner was formerly a
counterfeiter and was arrested at the
time for the murder of the two men.
A man named Anderson who was en
; gaged in 1903 to hunt the treasure
gave the farmer away. The holding
i of the mony and the discovery is due
! to the failure to agree on the part of
those responsible. Jesse James once
sought the treasure but without suc
cess.

Here’s a welcome to Cordova
And the Rooters they may bring,
To help celebrate the Fourth,
And make the Welkin ring.

And help to fill them up.

But we’ll fight them for that cup.

And they should lift that bowl—

For we’ll fill the cup and drink their
