AUSTRIAN DREADN AUGHT DESTROYED
ROME, Oct. 15.—A great fire has occurred in the:
Austrian arsenal at Trieste and has spread to the great
dreadnaught which had been in the course of construction,
practically destroying the vessel. It is said that the Aus
trian government attributes the accident to the work of
Italian residents of Trieste but no official communication
to that effect has been received. Trieste is regarded here,
however, as a city which is Italian in population and
should belong to Italy but Italians repudiate the charge
that they are responsible for the fire. The Vienna reports
recently declare that the Germans and the Austrians are
sweeping all before them in the east as well as on the Ser
vian border but the Italian people generally are scepti
cal of all the news coming from Austrian government
sources.
PORTUGUESE TROOPS SAILED
LISBON, Oct. 15—The Portuguese government of
ficially announced this afternoon that two expeditionary
forces of Portuguese troops sailed as long ago as the len
til of September to re-inforce the garrison of Portuguese
colonies in Africa that adjoin the colonies of Germany.
One of the expeditions departed on British transports but
the fact has been kept secret to an amazing extent and
was only made known today. It is assumed that Portugal
will now take an active part in the war in Atrica and the
troops will lie used against the Germans and maybe
against the Boers. Portuguese southwest Africa adjoins
German southwest Africa so that the German colony is
sandwiched between the Portuguese and the British.
GERMAN LINER SUNK
LONDON, Oct. 15.—The British cruiser has sunk the
Hamburg American liner Markomannia in the vicinity
of Sumatra according to the official report given out this
afternoon. The cruiser pursued the Greek steamer Pont
ports afterwards. These two steamers are the ones that
have been accompanying the German cruiser Lmden and
taking coal to her. The Yarmouth has sixty German pri
soners of war.
HOLLWEG IN BRUSSELS
BERLIN. Oct. 15.—Imperial Chancellor Betlmiann
Hollweg arrive (1 in Brussels Wednesday according to the
official announcement made today. The object of his
journey is not known although the tact of his arrival in
that city is stated with the evident intention of showing
that the Germans are now solidly in possession of Belgium
and that further retreat is not contemplated.
GARDNER WARNS U. S.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—Representative A. P.
Gardner of the Fourth district of Massachusetts, who
has recently returned from the Austrain war zone, intro
duced this afternoon in the house a resolution proposing
that a commission of three members of the senate. and
three members of the house be appointed by the president
to make a full investigation into the preparedness of the
United States for war.
“We have undertaken to enforce the Monroe Doc
trine" said Gardner “yet, we are unprepared for war.”
These words were the keynote of his speech and his
purpose. He asserted that during his stay in Europe he
was given an opportunity to go deeply into the cause of
the conflict as well as the ambitions of the great powers
and as a result of his study he warned the house that, no
matter which side wins in Europe, the victorious nations
will be headstrong and high-handed. Gardner seemed to
be firm in the belief that even the allies if given uncheck
ed power would next turn their attention to this continent.
At the same time he appeared to be absolutely confident
that Germany would make a strenous effort to get a
foothold in South America.

WHO WINS IN POLAND
LONDON, Oct. 15.—It is impossible this afternoon
to tell about the results of the great battle in Russian Po
land, but that the battle has been fought there can be no
doubt. Dispatches from Berlin claim that the Germans I
and Autrians have won a complete victory but the Rus-1
sian dispatches are equally energetic in declaring that the
Russian army triumphed. The conflicting news has sent
London into a fever of anxiety but there seems to be no
way of learning the truth. So much depends on the result i
of the conflict that the people of Great Britain have never
been so wrought up before since the battle of Waterloo.
SEWARD MAN HAS
BEST NELCHINA PROSPECTS
L. F. Shaw, Former Commissioner Of
That Camp Gives Resume
Of Doings
L. F. Shaw,former commissioner of
the Nelchina, tells the following story
of that camp:—
“Charles Anderson, a former Sew
ardite, has located the most likely
looking gold creek in the Nelchina dis
trict, with the possible exception of
Albert. This stream he calls Gold
creek. It is located in the Big
Ochelna country. Encouraging pros
pects are reported, the gold being of
a different character than found
elsewhere in the district. It is, what
is termed shot gold, heavy and coarse.
The Albert creek gold is termed
“Pumpkin seed” because of its flat,
thin character. A tributary of Gold
creek, called Reed creek, is regarded
as containing good pay. Anderson,
Bud Tolson and John Corigi are pros
pecting there. They will later be
joined by Frank Reed and Andy Berg
lind, now in Valdez.
McCormick and Palmer are doing
development work on No. 1 above dis
covery, Albert creek.
Betchill and Olson are preparing
for winter operations, planning to
prospect the deeper part of their
claims on Albert creek.
Kemp and Anderson are drifting
into the bench part of No. above on
Albert, creek.
The ChristofTerson party of six, will
prospect a group of claims on Crook
ed creek located at the mouth of Al
bert and Poor Man’s creeks. If
crooked contains pay .this part is con
sidered the most likely place to find
it.
Mehneke, Meredith and Bertch have
found a good prospect on a small
tributary of Lleigh creek. They will
do development this coming winter.
Decker and associates have sunk a
shaft 190 feet in depth on No. 19
bench, Crooked creek, with no bedrock
! in sight. They will attempt to bed
rock the ground this winter.

7.')0,000, Holland from $100,000 to
$400,000; Spain for the first time de

ROMANCE ON ALAMEDA
A pretty romance occurred on the
Alameda on the trip here and a
young couple who are now in Seward
were the principals. They are Mr.
and Mrs. F. H. McPherson. Mr. Mc
person was on the way to Latouche
to take vp a position and rumor hath
it that the lady was bound for some
place not a thousand miles from here
to obey a summons from Hymen when
she met Mr. Mepherson on the boat
for the first time. Captain Warner
performed the wedding service. The
bridegroom was unable to land at
Latouche on the way here but will go
there with his bride on the return of
the boat on which they met and
married.
The bride’s maiden name was Miss
Olive Raincourt.
