afcain. making a ride of about ten miles. We saw seme beautiful scenery. The natives look at our horses in amazement, their own being about the size of a Shetland pony, while ours are ail large, heavy draft horses. But our mules seem to them the greatest curiosity of all. There were about two hundred of our mules in a corral at Arroyo before we left there. All day long the natives, men, women and children, thronged the "peep holes" In the fence so they might get a glimpse of the curious Veasts. It reminded one of small boys at a circus trying to see the animals. I am tryin to learn a little Spanish, and have succeeded in mastering a few of the more necessary words and phrases. I believe if we are here six months I can learn enough to get along. Our food Is very good. Uncle Sam has sent plenty of fresh meat, potatoes, onions, coffee and sugar over here, so that, with two good cooks to prepare this rtuff, we fare very well. We have plenty of cocoanuts, bananas and other tropical fruits which are unknown at home. We trade hardtack for these delicacies, and manage to get some good trades out of the natives. The climate is delightful, and I believe it Is cooler than at home In Indiana. We do not suffer nearly so much and have very few sick. I am feeling fine and gaining the flesh 1 lost at Camp Thomas." THE WOMEN’S LUNCHEON. A Flood of Boxes and n Gay Time with the Soldiers. By noon yesterday the One-hundred-and-flfty-seventh Regiment had its camp arranged as permanent quarters. The months of service in the South have taught the boys those things that the difference between the National Guardsman and the regular. They now know how to take the fullest advantage of what they have, and the regiment is settled comfortably in Its tents on the north side of the fair grounds. Colonel Studebaker yesterday issued the following order for the daily life of the regiment: First call for reveille 5:15 a.m. Assembly 5:30 a. m. Immediately after the reveille there will be a *‘sot ting-up” drill for ten minutes. Me.4s call for breakfast 5:45 a. m. Kick call 6:20 a. m. Drill call 6:50 a. m. Drill call, assembly 7:00 a.m. Fatigue cull 7:00 a.m. Recall from drill 8:G0a. m. Guard mount, first call 8:20 a. m. Guard mount, adjutant's call 8:30 a. m. Recall from fatigue 11:00 a. m. First sergeant's call 11:45 a.m. Mess cull for dinner 12:00 m. Parade, first call 5:00p.m. Assembly 5:15 p. m. CWess call for supper 6:00 p. m. Tattoo 9:00 p. m. Taps 9:30 p. m. As the men of the One-hundred-and-fifty-eeventh are experienced soldiers, yesterday at the camp was quiet, although the camp Was active. The pay rolls are being prepared and signed. These rolls will be sent to the Chicago army headquarters as soon as they are finished. To-morrow a paymaster 1h expected to arrive at the camp and "deal out the stuff" the boys earned during last month. As soon after the boys are paid as possible the regiment will be eont to its homes on a thirty days’ furlough. Colonel Studebaker said yesterday he had hoped the regiment would get away Wednesday, but he then thought it hardly possible. During the furlough the soldiers will be credited with 30 cents a day pay. During the time the regiment is away from camp a guard of two or more men from each company will be left at the camp to watch over the tents and equipment. This guard wili.be changed every week in order that the service may fall as equally as postrfbie on the whole regiment. To say that the boys are anxious to see their homes again is putting it very mildly. Early in the afternoon the camp was Invaded by an army of smiling women, which was reinforced as every street car drew Into the station at the entrance to the fair grounds. Some of the women were loaded down with boxes, and following them came wagons filled with boxes of delicacies which had been prepared for the regiment. Some of these boxes .were taken to St. Paul’s Church, but a great many were collected at points in different parts of the city. Altogether 1,30© boxes of food were taken to • the camp. They were piled up in a tent next to the regimental headquarters, and the women gathered there, eager for the time of evening mess to come, when they could distribute the delicacies to the soldiers. The soldiers themselves eyed the boxes and femackcd their lips in anticipation. At 5 o’clock In the afternoon dress parade was held. By that time several hundred people from the city were at the camp, and they ranged around the drill ground. The visitors were delighted with the parade, and the excellence of the drill was all the more apparent to those who saw the brigade and regimental formations at Gamp Mount when the Indiana troops were called out. When the regiment van formed, and while the spectators were applauding, the band began to play the "Star-spangled Banner.” Some of the soldiers who were not taking part in the parade removed their bats end bent their heads. When the bands played triumphantly at the brigade parades &t Camp Mount in the spring the thousands of spectators vented their enthusiasm by wild cheering. Yesterday afternoon the visitors were silent and thought of “the fourteen boys who gave up their lives under the burning sun and in the foul air of Florida camps or on the trains which brought the regiment home, THE BOYS JUBILANT. When the parade was over and thd regiment marched back to quarters, the women distributed the boxes and baskets of food to the company headquarters. The boys became jubilant and laughed gleefully at the prospect of sinking their teeth in fried chicken, pie and equally seducive "grub.” They were soon satisfied, for the women quickly dealt out the boxes. Months on army rations gives a man the true notion of the value of home delicacies, and the way the soldiers devoured what the women brought made the surgeons look on dubiously. The women were as much delighted as tne boys themselves, and received their effusive anl sincere gratitude with glistening eyes. Laughing and talking among themselves and to the soldiers, they spent the supper hour at the camp with the best kind of enjoyment, for they knew, and the boys made them know’, that they had done that which will be remembered until the soldiers’ memories fail them. One Sick Boy Wept. Some of the boxes of food yesterday were tied with red, white and blue ribbons and others were wrapped in flags. Cheer after cheer went up as the boxes w’ere distributed. The women went from one hospital tent to another distributing flowers. Tha florists had donated a generous supply. As one of the women laid an American Beauty rose on the pillow of a rick boy, he buried his head at its side and wept. Another said, •’We’ll not forget old Indianapolis soon. They’re not like those people down South, who won’t give away anything." He ilm Cervera’* sane. Ensign William H. Steinhagen, who was on the St. Louis, is home on a furlough. He brings many souvenirs of Cervera’s fleet and Cuba. Among his treasures is a cane which was carried by the Spanish admiral. Cervera gave Spanish coins to the Americans before leaving the St. Louis. His sup!y was gone by the time he reached Steinagen, to whom he handed his cane. Young Steinhag m has relics of the lost Spanish war ships. Excursion it In To-Day. It is expected that the camp will be crowded to-day with the friends and relatives of the members .of the regiment. Most of the companies come from towns along the Michigan division of the Big Four road, and It will bring in fourteen coaches of people. The Lake Erie & Western will run excursion, trains from Michigan City and other towns, and the Vandalia will run a special train from Terre Haute. Mall for the ISTth. Arrangements have teen made by which mall Intended for the troops of the* One-hundred-and-lifty-seventh Regiment will be delivered at Camp Mount. Colonel Studebaker detailed a man to call at the postoffice for the mail. He has been sworn into tne postui service as a temporary carrier. There has not been much increase In the mail so far on account of the regiment having returned. Soft Rags In Demand. The Ladles’ Aid Society announces that the nurses at the camp have run out of old.

soft rags, used for bathing the sick soldiers. It is requested that every one who has some of this kind of cloth ana who careo to contribute it for the comfort and care of the soldiers will bring it to St. Paul’s Chujrch Monday morning. The ladie3 have plenty of new cloth, but old, soft rags are in great demand. The Remains Shipped Home. The remains of Private Robert Darling, of Elkhart, and Privates Snyder and Lovell, of Fort Wayne, were shipped to their respective homes yesterday under the direction of Undertaker Tutewiler. A guard of honor from his company accompanied the body of Darling to Elkhart and will return to-day, very likely. One Soldier Airested. Dell Hackley was the first soldier to suffer the ill effects of the freedom the men have received since arriving in this city. He was arrested yesterday, by Patrolman Ross and slated for being too happy. $200,000 FIRE AT OWOSSO. Woodard’s Furniture Factory and Other Building* Burned. OWOSSO, Mich., Sept. 3.—Owosso to-night suffered a $20,000 fire. At 9:30 o’clock tire was discovered in the rear end of Woodard’s furniture factory, and in a short time the whole institution was in flames. The fire was beyond control before the firemen got to work, and after destroying the warehouse, kilns and lumber yard of the furniture factory, Jumped across the street to the Owosso Brewing Company. The large buildings of this Institution were soon In flames. The fire next spread to the implement store of Crowe & Payne, William Jopling’s livery barn, Jacob Barrie’s meat market and several small buildings near at hand. At midnight the firemen got the flames under control. The loss on Woodard’s furniture factory will be fully $150,000, with SOO,OOO insurance. The Owosso Brewing Company’s loss is about $30,000, with SII,OOO insurance. Twenty-five thousand dollars, it is believed, will cover the loss among the smaller institutions. Lee Crowe, of the firm of Crowe & Payne, was overcome by smoke and is in a serious condition. A fireman from Corunna, who was assisting, was found unconscious with his head badly burned. These were the only casualties. The furniture factory was one of the leading industries of the town, employing 175 men. It is doubtful whether it will be rebuilt. 300,000 Pood* of Oil Burned. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 3.—A dispatch from Baku, on the Caspian sea, announces that the kerosene factory is in flames and that 303,000 poods of oil have been consumed. Bigg Chintz Factory Fire. ROUEN, France, Sept. 3.—The chintz factory of Gartside & Cos. at Mqlauney was burned yesterday evening. The loss is estimated at 2,000,000 francs. Furnttnre Factory Destroyed. TOLEDO, 0., Sept. 3.—'The Schauss Bros, furniture factory burned to the ground this evening. Loss, $60,000; insurance one-half. MINE OWNERS ENJOINED. JThe Springßide Mines at Pana Will * Be Tied Up. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Sept. 3.—Judge Farmer, at Taylorville, to-day issued an injunction on complaint of Secretary Ross, of the State Labor Statistics Bureau, closing the Springside mine, at Taylorville, near Pana. The writ was served on the mine owners this evening. This closes the mine until the case is heard by the court. It is alleged that the mine has no fire boss, and that the escapement shaft is not large enough. The petition for injunction is the outcome of the trouble over imported negro miners to take the places of striking miners at Pana. Elgin Watch Work* Strike Settled. CHICAGO. &ept. 3.—The strike at the Elgin watch works has been settled. A conference was held to-day. President Gompers and Vice President O’Connell, of the American Federation of Labor, representing the men, and President Avery, Manager Cutter and other officers were present. It was agreed that all the men should resume their former positions without discrimination next Tuesday; that the work on the watch movements, about which the trouoie arose, is to be carried on under a test for two weeks; that the rate of wages to be paid during the test to be the average wages earned during May, June and July of this year. On or before Oct. 1 the company will hold a conference with the men for the purpose of adjusting the wage scale. Hungarian Strike Settled. HAZLETON, Pa., Sept. 3.-The three local assemblies of the United Mine Workers held long meetings at Colerain last night, with the result that this morning the announcement was made by President Duffy, of the organization, who Interceded for the strikers, that the strike is at an end and that work will be resumed at the colliery on Monday morning. Superintendent Roderick, representing the company, has agreed to allow the discharged Hungarian to return to work In the capacity of a contract laborer, in which position he will not be subject to the company directly, but to the miner with whom he is to work. The discharge of this man being the cause of the chief difficulty, the miners are satisfied and will hold out no longer. STARVING IN HAVANA. The Poor Unable to Pay War Price* for Food. HAVANA, Sept. 3.—Although not a day has passed §ince the blockade was raised without two or three vessels arriving Here with provisions, the price of the necessaries of life are not only excessive, but in some cases are higher than they were during the blockade. As the Red Cross Society’s supplies on the Clinton were not landed, this condition of things seriously affects the poor. Rice Is selling at <aV a cents a pound retail, lard at 20 cents and meat at 60 cents. During the blockade meat sold at from 40 to 45 cents a pound retail. The retailers are taking advantage of the situation and wish to ( raise the prices still further, regardless of distress of the poor, who, as they cannot afford to pay even the present prices, must continue to suffer. May Avoid the Penalty. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Collector Treat has received instructions from Commissioner Scott, of t)ie Internal Revenue Department at Washington, to demand from all express companies a sworn statement of all money packages received or transmitted since July 1. If this demand is compiled with and the companies pay up the amount due the government it is probable no suits for the enforcement of penalties will be brought. Collector Treat is in consultation witn the atof the companies and he believes that most of them will come to an amicable agreement. Gold and Silver on Hand. WASHINGTON.

THE FATAL HEAT WAVE IT COVERS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY , EAST OF THE ROCKIEsi* ♦ Chicago Break* the Record for Con- . tinuoua Days with the Mercury 1 Above Ninety—Prostrations. CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—Should the high temperature continue unbroken until to-morrow morning all Chicago heat records for duration will have been broken. It has been above 90 for five days. In many places work has been suspended in shops and where men are obliged to labor or exposed to the sun. The suffering of the people in the tenement districts has been intense. For extent and intensity of heat, Prof. Cox, of the Weather Bureau, says that the present hot wave is about as sever© as anything he has ever observed. “It covers,” said he, "practically the entire country east of the Rocky mountains and has run as high as 102 degrees above zero in Kansas, while In Huron, S. D., there have been three successive days of 100-degree weather.” • Three dead, six critically ill and thirteen additional prostrations is the heat record f<sr to-day. It was the hottest of the five days on every one of which the mercury has been over 90. The mercury to-day reached 93. Those who died to-day from the heat are William Ahrbeek, a bookkeeper, Frank Schultz, a carpenter, and an unidentified man, whose dead body was found on Harri-son-street bridge. * FIFTY DEAD IN NEW YORK, And Heat Prostration*, Not Fatal, Run Over Century Mark. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Fifty dead and over one hundred prostrations in one day Is the record of the heat in old New York to-day. The sun beat relentlessly on the sweltering city all day long. Night followed almost like day and the deaths from the heat were reported at intervals in the various city hospitals, police headquarters and the coroner’s office, a cool w’ave, accompanied by showers and thunderstorms, is the prognostication for to-morrow night, but until then no relief is expected. The highest point reached by the thermometer to-day was at 2 o'clock, when the mercury registered 92 degrees. The humidity averaged 85 per cent. Following is a list of the dead: EDWARD RENTER, thirty-two years old. ROBERT EATON, fifty-four. JOHN SLOAN, seventy. JOSEPH BORTNETI, forty-four. PHILIP PAT lE, fifteen days.

(Concluded from Ftr*t Page.) Valerien he asked for Colonel Henry’s •valise and the razor with which he committed suicide. He was told they had been both sent to the ministry of war. This extraordinary proceeding could not fail to he commented upon here, where respect for legal formality is carried to such a superstitious extent that the people would leave a man hanging rather than cut him down before the arrival of the police. “The Eclair, referring to this matter, says: ’This controversy has shown us long ago to what depths certain individuals can descend, so we are not surprised to read that the suicide of Colonel Henry was perhaps murder.’ ” Suicide Henry Burled at Pogny. LONDON, Sept. 4.—According to a dispatch to the Sunday Times from Paris the remains of Lieutenant Colonel Henry were buried yesterday (Saturday) In the family vault at Pogny. ANGLO-GERMAN TREATY. Little Credence Given the Report Sent Out from London. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—A dispatch to the World from London says: Little credence is attached in weil-lnforired quarters to the reported Anglo-German alliance. In the past fortnight the German ambassador has had

almost daily interview* with Mr. Balfour, who is acting aa foreign secretary, and the rumor mentioned is a conjecture founded on these visits. It is regarded as highly probable that Balfour has been engaged In negotiating an arrangement for the reconstitution of the mixed tribunal in Egypt, whose existence expires by lapse of time next year. Germany would demand some consideration for siding with England in this matter, and an arrangement is hinted at by Delagoa bay Is to be acquired from Portugal on the understanding that Germany is to obtain certain trading facilities there. Beyond this there is believed to be nothing in the air between England and Germany at present. In financial circles, where these reports originated, a tendency is shown to support Portuguese stocks, which have been very firm, and south African shares have also improved on the prospect of the settlement of the long-vexed Delagoa bay difficulty. Germany Denies the Treaty. BERLIN, Sept. 3.—The officials of the German Foreign Office assert that the London reports of an offensive and defensive alliance having been concluded between Germany and Great Britain are entirely without foundation. The British ambassador here was asked if an agreement between Great Britain and Germany concerning Africa had been reached. He said: “Such an agreement already exists. Germany prefers that England, rather than France, should hold Egypt, although all that Germany expected from the English occupation has not been realized. An AngloGerman understanding regarding the rest of Africa also exists. The recent meetings between Mr. Balfour and Count Von Hatzfeidt dealt v h other matters.” The National Zeitung says: “The reports of an offensive and defensive alliance are unfounded. The British government is not in a position to conclude such an alliance, nor does there exist in authoritative quarters in Germany the slightest inclination to completely Identify our own foreign policy with that of another power. There can only be some colonial arrangement, the relations of the powers in other respects remaining unaltered. It must be particularly understood that Russian interests are in no wise prejudiced.” The Cologne Gazette says it believes the agreement is merely an arrangement for an Anglo-German loan to Portugal. England Ha* Use for Germany. LONDON, Sept. 3.—The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon says it is satisfied that a general Anglo-German agreement has been reached to act together in various quarters of the world. The paper adds that it has verified yesterday's information, and, as an instance of when Germany’s support will prove exceedingly useful, it points out that the fall of Omdurman will change Great Britain's position in Egypt, and that in the face of the inevitable French and Russian resentment. “Germany will be useful as an active guarantor of our permanent occupation.” German Torpedo Boat Sunk. BERLIN, Sept. 3.—The recent northwest storm which swept across the Baltic sunk a German torpedo boat and severely damaged the whole German torpedo flotilla. Five of the torpedo boats barely reached harbor. Keep* the Present Cabinet. THE HAGUE, Sept. 3.—Queen Wilhelmina will retain the preset Cabinet. THE TRUTH COMING OUT. Negligent Doctor* to Blame for Fever at Chickumaugu. Kansas City Journal. Dr. John A. Ellis, formerly a practicing physician at Chlckamauga, Tenn., but now located in Kansas City, Kan., has assumed the defense of the Chiekamauga spring water, which lias been accused of being responsible for the greater part of the sickness among the soldiers encamped at Chiekamauga Park. He was there at the time the fever broke out, and claims to be fully aware o? the causes leading up to it. In a letter received from him by the Journal yesterday he says: “Chiekamauga Park is one of the healthiest places in the South; a high altitude, and the water—no better can be found anywhere. ‘Crawfish springs,’ as it was formerly called, has an outpour of about 24,000,000 gallons every twenty-four hours. The spring is so clear that it is perfectly blue. “It was through General Boynton’s influence that a pipe w r as run from these springs to the camps, and at the same time a number of wells were sunk. "Typhoid fever does not come from this water. You will observe that it was only two or three days after tne camp was established that typhoid was developed, showing conclusively that it was imported. It then spread from negligence on the part of the attending surgeons, who were >oung and inexperienced in regard to the proper sanitation, just from school. I say this with due respect to them. Then the soldiers w’ould get passes, go into Chattanooga, get drunk, eat half-cooked food and unripe fruit, come back to camp, and inhale the filth that W’as thrown from the regimental kitchens into the trenches, fully exposed. "Finally it was brought to the notice of the general commanding, General Brooke, that what is commonly called ‘bootlegs’ were in full blast, selling whisky, beer, slop drinks and ill-cooked foods. He banished them from the camp. This was the first step toward a betterment. But they finally established themselves again within the right-of-way of the railroad, still selling their rotten stuff to the soldiers. Then a guard was placed there, and soon they had to move out from lack of patronage. “As I nave before said, the first case of typhoid made its appearance within two or three days after the arrival of the volunteers, thus plainly showing it was brought there. The surgeon in charge took no means whatever for isolation and sanitation, nor usual medical care and treatment. The case should have been isolated, away from the camp, and tent and equipage thoroughly disinfected and the ground around it burned over. Soon another ease followed and another, with the same neglect of sanitary measures. Surgeon General Sternberg foresaw these conditions and issued an address, not once, but several times, calling attention to these conditions. He charged that these camp epidemics were not due to climate or surroundings, but to utter recklessness in cooking, sanitation and discipline. “The surgeons, to throw the responsibility from their shoulders, raised a hue and cry of impure water, unhealthy climate, dangerous camp grounds, etc. The trouble does not lie there, but in the ignorance, the utter incapacity of the medical department, to fitly understand the gravity of the disease. Take the commands under the charge of the regular army surgeons. How much sickness? About 2 per cent. These old colonels and surgeons told them what to expect if proper measures were not taken, but these warnings were not heeded. “Now, what caused this? The climate? No. but negligence. “Surely a reckoning day will come, and then those who allowed those noble-heart-ed, brave in soul and spirit: the boys that answered to the call of the President to defend our honor and name, as well as those stricken, downtrodden Cubans, to their reward.” The Official Time. Pittsburg Dispatch. The necessity that there shall be only one man who “has the say” in a military command is thoroughly recognized in the United States army. A story is told of General Shafter, commander of the American expeditionary force for the invasion of Cuba, which illustrates the punctilio of the regulars ifi this regard. At a certain frontier post at which Shafter, who then held an inferior rank, was commander many years ago. a discussion arose among several officers as to the exact time of the day. A captain, with his watch in his hand, said: “It is now exactly 3 o’clock.” “Oh, no,” said a lieutenant, "by my time It’s eight minutes past 3.” A third officer drew his watch out of his pocket. "I know my time is exactly right.” he said, “and my watch says two minutes past 3.’’ At this juncture Major Shafter looked at his silver watch. "I don’t know what your watches say,” he remarked, “but l wish you to understand that in this command it is five minutes past 3.” Then the young officers remembered that the authority of the commanding officer extended even to the time of the day.

PANDOANDHISTREASURE SPA.MSH GENERAL SAILS FOR HOME 'WITH 12,000,000 FRANCS. ♦ ... Army In Cuba Seven Month* In Arrears and No Explanation Given —Fando Reaches New York. ■e ■ ■ NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—A dispatch to the Herald from Havana, via Key West, says: Having successfully done everything in his power to convey the impression he was sailing to Spain, via New York, on the steamship Philadelphia, Thursday, General Pando, instead started direct for his native land about ten hours later on the French steamer Notre Dame du Salut, it is said, with 12,000,000 francs. The secret was so effectively kept that very few persons here have any knowledge of it, and all the Havana papers announce Pando’s departure on the Philadelphia. Before 8* o'clock in the morning, when few persons were about, General Pando and the treasure were put aboard the Notre Dame du Salut, every effort being made to avoid notice. Pando was no sooner aboard the ship than he sent for Captain Pillard and intrusted the 12,000,000 francs to his safekeeping, obtaining a receipt for it. Pando then locked himself in his stateroom aud remained concealed until the ship left the harbor about 7 o’clock in the evening. There are many plausible reasons for General Pando’s conduct, though exactly which one moved him it is impossible to ascertain. Much depends on where the treasure he carried away came from, but, whatever its source, while the army is seven months in arrears and the civil list four months, and while both cry out for pay, it is obvious that a dangerous amount of discontent will be stirred up if the’Tnowledge of the transportation of such amount becomes public. Although Pando had the reputation of having considerable private wealth, it is preposterous that such a sum could be realized on his property here under existing circumstances. If the amount taken was paid by Blanco at Madrid’s order, army and civil list conditions would make secrecy absolute. If it was taken without Blanco's knowledge, no matter from what source, secrecy would be no less a necessity for Pando because of the treasury straits here. The funds may have been the combined resource euphemistically called the savings of Pando and friendly officers. The sum may have been, and most probably was, largely made up of subscriptions from Spaniards :n South America, Central America and Mexico, which reached Pando in large amounts during his visit to Mexico. General Blanco having ignored Pando’s plan for the defense of Santiago, Pando probably insisted upon delivering the funds direct in Madrid, rather than through Blanco. Here, again, secrecy would be essential. It is worthy of note that on the Notre Dame du Salut, besides Pando, were Generals Figuereda and Sallejo, sent home in disgrace by Blanco. Other passengers included many cadets from Spanish military schools and wounded or ill soldiers, provided with blankets and other comforts by the Spanish Red Cross. Apropos of Pando’s departure, persons here have long been asking what has become of three high officials who left Cuba when Pando did to secure vessels to run the blockade, each of these other three having carried away for that purpose 50,000 pesos, of which reports say nothing has been heard since. Within the last few days the officers have reinstituted the system of patrol boats about the Maine wreck as maintained before theswar, intending to show the commission their determination that American property shall be fully protected, and, incidentally, that they do not regard the cause of the disaster as determined, and intend to give no opportunity for the manufacture of evidence such as would be natural from their point of view. * PANDO AT NEW YORK. Captain of Ward Liner Declare* the Spaniard Is on Board. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Among the passengers on board the Ward line steamer Philadelphia, which arrived to-night at quarantine, are Gen. Luis N. Pando, late commander of the Spanish forces at Manzanillo, and Mrs. Pando. The Philadelphia left Havana Wednesday morning and the trip was made without incident. She will remain in quarantine to-night, proceeding to her dock in Brooklyn to-morrow. Captain Chambers, of the Philadelphia, admitted to a representative of the Associated Press that Gen. i Pando was on board, but stated that the general would not be interviewed to-night. It is understood that General Pando has come to New York to conclude arrangements that have been making for transports to convey the Spanish soldiers from Havana to Spain. When these arrangements have been concluded the general, it is said, will sail from this city for Spain. HEARD THE CRY. (Concluded from Flr*t Page.) heroes every consideration, every comfort and every luxury that they deserve or request. I am most agreeably surprised at the facilities I found, particularly in the hospital service. The men will be best cared for by being patient in their present surroundings till they are fully able to stand a railroad journey.” Secretary of War Alger said: “I find that things are in better condition than they were when I was here a week ago. I am well satisfied with the camp.” Ex-Secretary of War Proctor said: ‘‘The location of the camp seems to me ideal. It has water on both sides, a soil dry by natural drainage, and a pleasant breeze from the sea. It is measurelessly better than the hospitals I was familiar with during the civil war. 1 think the President's visit will do the men good. It will give them something to think about and break the monotony for the weak.” When the President arrived at Long Island City he took the government ferryboat General Meigs, and was taken around the lower end of Manhattan island to the Jersey shore on his way to the Vice President’s home in Paterson, N. J., where he will spend Sunday. * 1 — AT THE VICE PRESIDENT’S HOME. The President’* Party Reached Paterson In the Afternoon. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—President McKinley and party reached Brooklyn this afternoon and boarded the government steamer General Meigs at the Long island ferry and were taken around the Battery to Jersey 6lty, where they boarded a Susquehanna & Western Railroad train for Paterson at 5:44 o’clock. A special car was attached to the train and in it the party was conveyed to Paterson. The party arrived at the railroad station at 6:27 o’clock. President McKinley, Vice President Hobart, Secretary Porter, Attorney General Griggs and Assistant Secretary Cortelyou were in the party. Carriages were in waiting and all were driven to Vice President Hobf.rt’s home. Carroll Hall. There Mrs. McKinley, Mrs. Hobart and Mrs. Myron T. Herrick were awaiting them. The ladies had arrived in Paterson in the afternoon from New York. Luncheon was served at the Hobart residence and the distinguished guests kept themselves secluded. Attorney General Griggs did not stop all night with the Vice President, but went to his own home. The party received a big reception from tho Paterson people who were waiting , for them. Mr. McKinley may go to church

on Sunday with Vice President Hobart and probably will go driving in the afternoon. CAMP WIKOFF TO GO. Practical Abandonment Decided on by the War Department. WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.—Orders were prepared in the War Department to-day for the practical abandonment of Camp Wikoff at Montauk Point. All the volunteer infantry regiments now there will soon start for their homes and the men. will receive a furlough until they are mustered out, while most of the regulars as soon as they have recuperated sufficiently will resume duty at the posts which they garrisoned before the war began. The orders for the regulars may be issued to-morrow and will provide for the following distribution of the regiments: Third Cavalry, Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., and Jefferson Barracks, Mo.; Sixth Cavalry to Fort Myer, Va„ and Fort Wadsworth, N. Y.; Third Infantry to Fort Snell; Ninth Infantry to Madison Barracks, N. Y.; Thirteenth Infantry to Forts Columbus, Porter and Niagara, N. Y.; Seventh Infantry to Columbus Barracks, O.; Twentieth Infantry to Fort Leavenworth, Kan.; Twenty-first Infantry to Plattsburg Barracks, N. Y. The remaining regiments of regulars at Montauk will be disposed of next week. Some of them will probably be held at posts yet to be selected for service in Cuba. Distilling; Ship Hurried to W ikoff. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—Acting Secretary Allen has sent orders to the Norfolk navy yard to have the distilling steamer Iris sent immediately to Camp Wikoff at Montauk Point. This was done after consultation between Secretary Alger and acting Secretary Allen. The purpose is to provide the soldiers at Camp Wikoff with an abundant supply of absolutely pure water for drinking and cooking purposes. The Iris was fitted up by the Navy Department with remarkable rapidity as a distilling ship to supply the war ships and auxiliary craft and transports in subtropical waters. She is able to turn out 60,000 gallons of the purest distilled water every day, and this quantity would be ample for drinking purposes to supply three times the number of soldiers likely to be gathered at Camp Wikoff at any one time. Inasmuch as typhoid fever, according to the best medical information, is transmitted altogether through ttuids, so long as the troops can be induced to drink this distilled water alone—their milk being daily inspected—it is believed that there will be an end to the further spread of the fever. Asa measure of precaution it is probable that the wells which have been dug at Camp Wikoff will be closed up on the arrival of the Iris. Eleven Ohio Sufferer*. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Eleven men of Company M, of the Eighth Ohio Volunteers, “the President’s own,” spent to-night on cots at the Red Cross Hospital in Long Island City. They arrived In Long Island City at 8 p. m. from Montauk en route for here and were in charge of A. S. Nail, of Mansfield, 0., where they reside. The men had all been sick at Camp Wikoff and were glad to get an opportunity to go home when it presented itself. All were weak and emaciated, and the condition of Private F. W. Bird and Private Arthur Nichols was precarious. The other men in the party were Corporal Frank Leverstock, Privates Geo. Kessler, Vincent Bruce, Elda Phipps, Thos. Carrick, William Colesworthy, Charles Young, Patrick Hogan and Durvin W. Sutler. All will be conveyed in carriages from Ing Island City to Jersey City to-morrow to continue their journey home. * WHEELER’S DAILY REPORT. Mure Sick Troop* from Slboney Reach (amp— Death Roll.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—The hot weather Is increasing the death rate among the sick soldiers in the hospitals at Camp Wikoff to an alarming degree, besides prostrating men who heretofore have not been on the sick list. There were eighteen deaths yesterday and more have occurred since midnight. President McKinley was shocked on learning of the ternole sufferings of the Michigan troops from the heat while en route from the camp to Long Island City yesterday by railroad. The Piesidenl urged thai something be done at once to supply the troops leaving camp with plenty of ice and wholesome rations so that their discomfort while traveling m the cars will be as lignt as possible.

CLEVELAND, 0., Sept. 3.~Three trains passed through this city early this evening on the Lake Shore Railroad bearing the Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth regiments of Michigan, on their way home from Montauk Point.

Topeka State Journal. The celebrated “silver statue,” which was on exhibition at the world’s fair, where it attracted much attention, and for which It is said Ada Rehan posed, is now suspected to be worth less than SI,OOO, although it has always been supposed to be solid silver and to have a value of $30,000. Some time after the world's fair the s-tatue was brought to Topeka for exhibition, and while it was here creditors of the Chicago firm which owned thv statue attached it and had a receiver appointed for the property. Those who have claims against the statue now offer to settle for less than SI,OOO. but the owners do not seem disposed to accept the offer, although they have been frequently notified of it. This leads to the suspicion that the "silver statue” is composed largely of lead and is not worth 11,000. , Minister Romero improving. CITY OF MEXICO. Sept. 3.—Hon. Matias Romero, Mexican minister to the United States, who has been ill from combined nervous trouble and malaria, is slowly improvir,. Weakness. Just as we sometimes see a tree or pole apparently strong and sound come of some undetected process Jl of decay, so no matter how |P r v2Jp? good an appearance a wornan may present, if she is subject to any hidden weaknes9, gradually sapping away and undermining her vitality, TtfrJ some day her entire w constitution will give way and leave her a prostrate physical wreck. The average doctor gives a little something for the headache and a little something else for the backache and still another thing for the nerves and so on, never once reaching the hidden weakness in the distinctly feminine organism. The vast experience and special practice of Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., in treating women’s diseases, enables him to undeC stand and cope successfully with these pms ticular ailments. Any woman may feel th# utmost confidence in consulting him by mail. She will receive, free of cost, sound professional advice whereby her health may, in ninety-nine cases out’of a hundred, be promptly and permanently restored. All correspondence is held to be sacredly confidential. A lady living in Coshocton Cos., Ohio, Mrs. W. T. Stanton, of Blissfield, writes: “ I had female weakness very bud for nearly three years. Had dragging down pains in and” above my hips aud such dreadful pains in the back and top of my head (just as though someone was lilting me by the hair).

I doctored most of the time with as good * physician as there is in the state, but had no ease only when I was quiet and off my feet and then I had more or less pain in my head.
