CHOLERA SPREADS IN AUSTRIA
VENICE, Oct. 12.—The cholera is spreading rapidly
to the remotest portions of Austria and the gravest fears
are entertained that the whole empire will be laid bare to
the awful scourge. Another fact which is causing the
greatest suffering to Austria is that the cold weather
caught the Austrian army unprepared 'n Galicia and ap
peals are now being sent out for warm clothing. The
price of bread is rising rapidly in \ ienna and the con
sumption of horse flesh is increasing.
U. S. WARNS BELLIGERENTS
WASHINGTON. Oct. 12.—President Wilson has giv
en assurances to American merchants trading with Eur
ope that this government will stand at their backs to the
limit of their rights to prevent interference with them by
any of the warring nations. He declared, however, that
he does not believed there will be any further interference
with the ships carrying their merchandise. The assur
ance is regarded as a warning to the powers at war that
the United States will not put up with obstruction of
proper commercial undertakings on the ocean.
SAY GERMANS LOST 45,000
AMSTERDAM. Oct. 12.—It s reported that the Ger
mans lost 45,000 men during the attacks on the fortresses
of Waelhem, St. Catharine and Wavre. They assaulted
the fortresses with the same intrepidity which character
ized their assaults on the fortresses of Liege. The above
named fortresses were in the outer line of the Antwerp
defenses and were garrisoned by the cream of the Belgian
troops.

COLOGNE, Oct. 9.—A hostile
aeroplane has made a most daring
effort to destroy the Zeppelin stations
at Cologne and Dusseldorf. The air
craft flew over these places yester
day and dropped bombs. It is re

the bombs but if any damage has

ROTTERDAM. Oct. 8.—An Aus
trian captain, wounded in the battle
of Sjabats, is quoted in The Eohemia,
a newspaper published at Prague, in
part as follows:—
“The Servian infantry is very
brave, but does not shoot as well as
it might. The only good shots the
Servians have are the Komitadje ir
regulars, who. concealed in the foliage
of bushes ami trees make a specialty
of shooting down the Austrian of

SEWARD JURYMAN ON
FIRST ALASKA MURDER
.Man Served On Dwyer Jury Was
Juryman In First Alaska Mur
der Trial In 1876
Robert Michaelson, who served on
the jury’ in the trial of James E.
Dwyer for the Knik murder and aided
in bringing in a verdict yesterday
morning, was a member of the jury
in th? first murder trial that ever
tot k place in Alaska. The first mur
der trial took place at Sitka in 1876
before Judge Dawson. It was the
trial of a Jesuit priest named, as well
as Mr. Michaelson can remember,
Father Fuller who was accused of
murdering his bishop, Bishop Siegele,
below Anvik on the Yukon in the same
year. The bishop and the priest were
engaged in establishing missions.
One evening as they were seated
around a camp fire with some natives
the priest suddenly rose to his feet
and shot the bishop dead. Mr. Mich
aelson says that during the trial
everyone, particularly the officials
and the officers T>f the government
ship then at Sitka, were in favor of
the acquittal of the priest. The de
fense was the insanity plea but the
jury brought in a verdict of man
slaughter. The priest was sentenced
to ten years in the penitentiary but
disappeared after three years, 'lhe
probability is, although Mr. Michael
son does not say so, that the authori
ties believed him insane and had him
removed to an asylum.

Leeds, Oct. 8.—Lord Charles
Beresford in addressing a recent mass
meeting for the purpose of stimulat
ing recruiting here said: “The Kiel
canal mut be handed over to Den
mark, so it will be useful for the
for the peaceful pursuits of the
world.”
When the kiel canal was opened in
181)5 the Emperor of Germany, with
representives of the leading Euro
pean powers as his guests, said: “Ger
many will range the work inaugurat
ed today on the side of those accom
plished in the service of peace.” It
was regarded as significant that upon
enlargement of the canal last June,
the occasion was not one of interna
tional celebration, although Emperor
William attended and led a great fleet
of German warships through the can
al—which now figures so extensively
in the naval operations as a magni
ficent refuge for the German fleet.
German strategists insist that the
Kiel canal doubles the power of the
German fleet as it gives another en
trance from the North Sea to the Bal
tic and forces an enemy to scatter its
strength in order to bottle up the Ger
man warships. Eight enormous sid
ings have been provided within the
enlarged canal in which ships may
pass. These are so great they are
said to be capab'j of sheltering all
the ships of the German navy.
SEATTLE, Sept. 24—Col. D. C.

“The Servian artillery is excellent
accounted for in part by the circum
stances that fighting in its own coun
try it is fully familiar with the ter
rain. As a result their range is good,
all the more so since they are given by
the natives information which we
cannot get, of course. Generally the
direction of advance of our army is
given by the Servian peasants to their
army by the lighting of great straw
fires. In the sepulchre under the
church in Sjabats we found a tele
phone station with wires running to
the various Servian headquarters.
“But the Servian soldiers are
brave. Some of their tactics are pecu
| liar. Now and then numbers of them
permit themselves to be made prison
! ers of war for the mere purpose of
supporting a plan of ambush. Cases,
too, have been known in which prison
ers of war made attacks on our men
with hand grenades concealed by
i them. The confusion resulted from
this has in many instances resulted
in the escaps of the prisoners.
“We have found that women fight
us with rifles, while even children are
employed to throw bombs. A twelve
year-old girl, who was shot through
the legs, and was taken into the hos
pital at Neusatx, boasted of having
throw n sixteen bombs among Austro
Hungarian troops."
