Wash., Sept. 20. The Alaska Commercial Company's steamer Dora, Captain Johansen, arrived from the westward last night with news of an extensive and terrible earthquake ex tending from Bituya Bay, 150 miles be low Yakutat, 500 miles northwest into the Cook Inlet country. It was the greatest phenomenon witnessed in Alaska since a similar occurrence in the earlv days of the Russian traders. After a short period of darkness the earth literally sank down into the sea and new islands and peninsulas rose up like huge leviathans showing their backs above the surface. Mountains were shaken down and their tops slid into the ocean. The whole was ac companied by several tidal waves, one of them fifteen feet high. The shocks occurred every day for a week, from Sunday, the 3d inst.. to Sunday, the loth inst., and were felt last Sunday at Juneau. Three very hard shocks were felt here. One early in the morning and another about 2 o clock in the after noon and the third about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Buildings were badly shaken and neonle ran out into the streets in their fright. There were minor tremblings all day long. The laree buildings, such as the Occidental Hotel. Stannis Hospital and the church, shook and rattled like a crazy ship in a gale. No damage to property was done here or elsewhere.The moun tains are all in Dlace around Juneau. The shocks here continued steadily from thirty seconds to two minutes. A gale Was blowing at the time. The earthquake seemed to be traveling south and taking plenty of time to shake un the country as it passed alone. The most severe shocks -were felt at Yakutat and Kayak. At Yakutat there is a large Indian village and several traders stores. It is headquarters for miners prospecting in that section of Alaska and up the Alsek river. Around the noint of Ocean Cape, at the en trance to Yakutat Bay, is an island named Kanak. This island sank twen ty feet into the sea. At high tide only the tons of the trees are visible. Huge fissures opened in the earth of the mainland and steam is said to have noured forth. Some of these fissures were three feet across. Captain Johan sen says that in tw-o minutes the ocean rose twenty feet above high tide mark and almost as quickly subsided. The natives took.to the high ground in terror. -and fell on their knees be seeching the great Father to save them and their village. This high water caught up all manner of drift wood, loirs, canoes, etc., and these raced back and forth and across the bay carried bv stronc currents which swept in ev ery direction. When the Dora arrived at Yakutat a few days ago on the re turn triD the Indians had deserted their houses near the beach, and were living in tents on the high ground. Thpv were still in great alarm. At least thirty Yakutat Indians are now in Juneau, having deserted their homes and all their property in seek- ine safety in flight. A cood story is told on the two Swe dish missionaries at Yakutat. Rev. Mr. Johnson and Rev. Mr. Hendrickson. They wanted to leave, but the Indians would not let them go. The natives told them that the Maker of heaven and earth had his back up and was angry, and they wanted them to stay and "Skookum Wah Wah" whicn mpatis bisr nrav. to Dacify the Al miehtv. And they had to stay. Dr. C. W. Chamberlain of Tacoma, a dentist, who has been copper mining in the Prince William Sound country, was a Dassenger on the Dora. He says that at Kayak, about 175 miles west of Yakutat, the shocks were so severe that the tops of several mountains rolled and tumbled into the ocean at their .base. This is a sandstone range and erreat clouds of dust were raised by the detachment and the slide. The Dora in runnine along her usual course be tween Yakutat and Bituya, where there has been heretofore fifty fathoms of water, stirred up the mud with her wheel. It was reported that her keel had found the bottom, but Captain Jo hansen denies this. He says that the stuff the Dora stirred up was as thick as cream gravy, while the water oh the surface had the usual clear appearance. Captain Johansen says he feels certain there had been a violent disturbance of some kind beneath the ocean there. COMPANY, LIMITED. Hinmpoirteirs Commmnidssiioini Merchamilts QUEEN STREET.

In an in terview today Senator Mason of Illi nois said: "On the floor of the Senate I shall continue my opposition to the war up on the Filipinos. I would sooner re sign my seat that treat a dog the way we are treating those people. I am ashamed of my country. People make a great mistake when they say that I am against expansion. I am not. But expansion by purchase or other honor able means is one thing; expansion by force is another. I do not believe that there was any necessity for this war upon the Filipinos. I believe that if we had adopted a resolution in Con gress assuring those people as we as sured the Cubans, that we had no sel fish ripsiens imon them, we never would have met with any opposition in the Philippines. The fact is that we ! have given ine rmpiuus ecrj icasuu to distrust us and they are fighting for their own liberty. "Talk about hauling down our flag. Manicuring Next to Y. M. C.
