SIXTY viVE LIVES LOST To Add to the Horror the Ship's Boll era Kxploded, Killing Mauy of Those JStrtigglitig; In the Water Accident Occurred Off Douglass Island. Victoria, B. 0., Aug. 19. The steam er Islander, the flagship of the Canadian Pacific navigation fleet, and the largest and fastest passenger steamer on the Victoria Skagway route, collided with an iceberg off Douglass island, Alaska, while on her way south with the largest number of passengers that she has car ried since she was replaced on the run a few months ago, 'and sank within 15 minutes after striking. Captain Foote; her master, and about 65 persons, including passenger and members of the crew, were drowned. To add to the horror of the terrible dis aster her boilers exploded as she went down, causing the death of many of those who were struggling in the water. The steamer left Skagway in the evening of Wednesday last, and was proceeding out of Lynn canal when the collision occurred. Some of the passen gers and the members of the crew who were in bed were rudely awakened by the shock. The majority got out on deck in time to be saved in the boats, which were quickly manned, but a large number went down in the staterooms. Some of the surviTora arrived here last evening by the steamer which passed over the scene of the appalling disaster on the following evening and picked them up at Juneau, to which city they had been taken. Many of the Liost From Victoria. The news came as a terrible blow to the citizens of Victoria, many of the lost being well known and having families in this city, and was particularly sud' den, as the steamer had been expected and many were awaiting her arrival when the Queen came in with the news. It is impossible at present to obtain a complete list of the dead. A Jetter was sent to Mr. Vincent, secretary of the territorial government, giving a few de tails of the wreck. The officers and passengers who came down were unable to give any but a very incomplete list. All estimate the loss of life at about 05 and give the greatest praise to the offi cers lor the manner in which they acted under the most trying circumstances. The officers, on the other hand, state that had not the passengers became so panic-stricken and so much confusion reigned, the loss of life would have been considerably less. A small amount of the gold on board was saved. Papers containing $10,000 were left in the purser's safe, the bal ance in his possession being returned before the steamer sank. The city council of Juneau promptly secured Decker's hall, which was hastily converted into a lunchroom and resting place, where the survivors could warm up with hot coffee and suitable foods. All other assistance possible was also extended to the survivors. The Islauder was the largest vessel of the Canadian Pacific Navigation com pany. She was built at Glasgow at a cost of $200,000. She was a twin screw steamer, 240 feet long, 43 feet beam and 14. 8 hold. She possessed great speed, had-accommodations for several hundred passengers and a large freight capacity. THE ISLANDER DISASTER. Latest Reports Place the Loss of Life at Forty-Two. Victoria, B. O., Aug. 20. The latest reports of the disaster to the steamei Islander places the loss of life at 4'3, but no further names are obtainable, except that of Howard Fowler, which was given in the list published yesterday as How ard Smith, second steward. Anothel name has also to be added to the list oi 6aved, that of Quartermaster Hinstz. Purser Besque has returned to Skag way to get a lull list of those who took passage on the steamer, but until he ar rives on the steamer Hasting in a few days, nothing more can be given. Pilot Leblanc and all the officers deny the report that either he or the cap tain were intoxicated, and assert thai the Islander was well supplied with life belts. Robbed of Her Jewelry. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 20. Mrs. James B. Houston of Auburn, N. Y., a passenger on the steamer Queen from Alaskan ports, was robbed of a large amount of jewelry while the vessel was tied up at the wharf at Skagway. The total value of the jewels is auite large and in addition there was $150 in money stolen. BOER LAAGER SURPRISED. Twenty-Four 3Ien Killed and Si W ounded Near 31iddlebury, London, Aug. 19.

For some time past the people living near the Okefenokee swamp have been goffering from the depredations of a couple of panthers that were infesting the fast ness of the wide waste of wood and water. Cattte, sheep, hogs, eta, have been carried off, and although numer ous attempts have been made to capture the animals, they have managed to es cape. Obadiah Barber, who is recognized as the king of the Okefenokee, and who has probably killed more bears, panthers and the like in his time than any other living man, determined to rid the swamp of the presence of these animals. He took a beet liver, and after treating it to a liberal coat of strychnine, left it in a spot where the panthers had been seen on different occasions, A day or two later some of his boys went out to look after the hogs and they found near the bait put out by Mr. Barber the dead carcass of a monster panther. The animal was about 3 feet high, and measured over 7 feet from the point of its nose to the tip of its tail. It weighed, according to Mr. Barber, 150 pounds. Tne mate to this one is still at large, but it is more than likely Barber will succeed shortly in dispatching it also. WANTS TAMPA BURNED. Woman Anarchist Urges Revenge For Deportation of Strike Leaders. Tampa, Fla., Aug. 20.

Louisa Uerera is an anarchist, and inaugurated the great trouble here last winter. She is well known in New York and Chicago, where she has led a number of strikes. She calls for Resistencia to pack tip and leave Tampa in a body "as a grinning skeleton," using words too profane tc reproduce. Her article is taken by the general public to mean arson, and she says they should leave if the blood of the officers ' have to run in revenge for the men spirited away from here. A demand has been made for the arrest of tht woman for the incendiary article. DRIVEN FROM SWAMPS. Wild Animals Flee From the High Waters In Alabama. Mobile, Aug. 19.

Assurance Given of Uninter rupted Traffic on Isthmus. CAN MAINTAIN THE SAME Sending of Warships Southward It Merely a Precautionary Measure, tc Look After Our Interests In Case o Actual Obstruction of Traffic. Washington, Aug. 19. The Colom bian minister, Dr. Silvela, had a con ference today with Secretary Hay. It was the first personal exchange between the secretary and the representative os Colombia since the present disturbance started. Dr. Silvela gave Mr. Hay in formation to the effect that the traffic on the isthmus was entirely unobstruct ed and also assured him of the ability of Colombia to keep the traffic open. The minister's communication to Sec retary Hay did not contain any informal or written shape, but was an informal discussion of the minister's latest ad vices. He informed the secretary thai a cable dispatch from Bogota, sent last Thursday, stated that traffic across the isthmus was entirely unobstructed as a result of the efforts of the Colombian authorities. He also expressed the full est confidence that Colombia was abk to maintain free traffic across the isthmus. So far as the United States govern ment is concerned there never has been any purpose to exert military force to keep traffic open until it was perfectly plain that Colombia was unable to dc so. This view was doubtless made known to Dr. Silvela. although the na ture of the exchange is known only kd the most general way. Certain Features Made Clear. The assurances eiven by Dr. Silvela make clear certain features of the situa tion. ' First, there is no interruption of traf fic now; Colombia giving official assur ance of this, and the United States hav jug no advices from its reports showing an actual stoppage of traffic within re cent days. Second, both governments are agreed that the first responsibility for main taining free traffic is on Colombia and that the United States is not called ou to act unless Colombia finds herself un able to aot. Third, the United States will judge for itself when any occasion arises for exercising its authority on the isthmus A request from Colombia would be strong evidence, that such occasion had arisen. But it is not' essential to await a request or notice from Colombia, al though such a determination would re ceive the fullest consideration. The ex act conditions as to whether traffic i; open or closed will determine finally whether there is any occasion for the exercise of force by the United States Although the foreging is not an ofli Cial statement, yet it is believed to cov er the main questions involved at the present time. It discloses that the movement of our warships southward has been merely a precautionary meas ure to look after American interests in case of an actual obstruction of traffic, and that the situation as it exists today does not call for any exercise of anj American authority on the isthmus. It was sta ed at the navy department that the battleship Iowa, now at San Francisco, will sail for Panama tomor row. The Iowa is undergoing repair? to her boiiers. This work is being pushed with all possible speed in order that there shall be as little delay as pos sible in her trip southward. When seen after his visit to the state department Dr. Silvela expressed him self as highly satisfied with the assur ances given him by Mr. Hay that the United States would not take a hand in the affairs on the isthmus unless a re quest came from the Colombian govern ment itself, or else the need of interven tion became so apparent as to make a request unnecessary. The minister stated that some time ago he informed his government that the United States would not put intc operation the treaty provision for keep ing open traffic on the isthmus, unless Colombia found herself unable to do so. Iowa Heady to Sail. San Francisco, Aug. 19. The bat tleship Iowa has taken on coal and am munition and is expected to sail todaj direct for Panama. The Ranger is now enroute to the same port, but on account of her slowness she will not reach Pan ama until after the Iowa arrives there. These vessels will protect Americans ou the west side of the isthmus. KURDS ON WARPATH. Leave Death and Ruin Behind Them In the Damizera District. London, Aug. 17.

Mississippi Company Saved Thousands of Dollars by Storm. Jackson, Miss., Aug. 20. The recent gulf coast storm played a peculiar prank at Gulfport, where dredging is in pro gress for a deep water harbor, and gave a striking illustration of the -truth of the adage that it is "an ill wind which blows nobody good. " It was greatly feared that the tidal wave would fill the big ditch to the gulf with sand and mud and the construction company was very much astonished 1 to find after the storm had subsided- that the channel had been washed out nearly 4 feet for almost the entire distance, saving the company thousands of dollars and giving more than adequate recom pense for the damage inflicted to the big dredge boats. The'dredgiug work will be rushed as rapidly as possible from now on and confidence is felt that within a few months it will be deep enough to admit the passage of the largest ocean freight ers.
