Spanish detectives engaged in keeping watch on the movements of the Cubans in this country much exercised over the report that the steamer Hawkins did not sink the morning of Jan. 28, "but that she made her wayTo the island, landed her cargo and is now laid up at one of the Florida keys. ■The steamer Umatilla sailed from Saif Francisco for Victoria and Puget Sound points, carrying away at least 100 miners with outfits for the gold fields of Alaska. Many are going to Cook's inlet, while not a few are to brave the dangers of a north winter and attempt to cross the ice from Dyea inlet to the Yukon.
