man as two, while thirteen were injured. Os the men, thirty-three were kiiled and nine-ty-nine were wounded. The loss sustained by the Egyptians was: Officers, one killed, eight wounded; men, twenty killed, 221 wounded. Colonel Rhodes, a brother of Cecil Rhodes and correspondent of the London Times, was severely wounded, & bullet having struck him in the shoulder. The latest accounts of the capture of Om' durman add but little to those received yesterday. All agree as to the brilliancy of the cavalry charge of the Twenty-First Lancers. This was the great feature of the battle. Every man who fell in the charge was immediately hacked to pieces by the fanatical Dervishes, yet the Lancers reformed as coolly as if on parade. One corporal, covered with blood and reeling in his saddle, was ordered to fall out. He waved his bent lance and shouted: “Never.’* When Lieutenant Grenfell was missed Lieutenant Montmorency, with a few comrades, made a most gallant attempt to recover the body, and held the enemy at bay with revolvers. They secured the body and then lost it again, as the horse on which it was placed shied. There was another memorable incident while MacDonald's black brigade was cautiously crossing the field arier the Dervishes had broken to dispatch the wounded Baggaras—an imperative duty owing to the custom of the Baggaras to feign death and then deal a fatal blow to the unwary enemy. The Dervishes reformed and with reinforcements made a desperate rush upon an isolated camel corps, believing they had it at their mercy. The corps retired steadily without confusion. MacDonald's brigade, assisted by the gunboats. came to the rescue and covered the retirement of the camel corps by pouring volley after volley on the advancing Dervishes, who, although their ranks were terribly thinned, continued their desperate advance. More Dervish reserves swept down; the engagement became brisk and general, but the enemy was soon completely routed. YOUNG QUEEN ENTHRONED. Hnppy Ceremonies nt Amsterdam Before Wilhelm in a’* 200.000 Subjects. AMSTERDAM. Sept. s.—Beginning at early dawn to-day large crowds gathered in the ctreets, which were lavishly decorated, in anticipation of the entry of Queen WJlhelmina. The weather was bright, and trains from the provinces brought thousands of visitors to the city. The stands which had been erected along the route of the procession were packed early, as was also the Damplatz. The route to the royal palace was lined by thirty-five workingmen’s unions and eleven military associations, the latter comprising veterans of 1820-31 and other retired soldiers to the number of 5,000. The Damplatz, the high bridge over the Amstel, the principal canals and the streets through which the Queen passed were adorned with festoons and triumphal arches. A striking feature in. this was a representation of Admiral De Ruyter’s old flagship, the Peace. All the houses surrounding the Damplatz were literally enshrouded with gay draperies and natural flowers. Queen Wilhelmina arrived from The Hague at the railway depot in Amsterdam at 2 o’clock and was enthusiastically received. The burgomaster delivered an address of welcome, to which her Majesty replied: “For a long time past I have been looking forward to this moment, which is the most solemn of my life.” The Queen then briefly addressed the various bodies assembled to welcome her. The burgomaster's daughter presented her Majesty with bouquets of orange flowers tied with mauve ribbons. The entire court, in carriages, participated in the procession to the palace. A guard of honor composed of generals escorted the royal coach. General Damonceau was thrown from his horse. After Burgomaster Van Den Hovan, governor of the province of Northern Holland, had offered the province’s homage, in the course of his speech referring to the ties that for more than three centuries had bound tho province and the house of Orange, the Queen replied briefly, saying: “I am happy that this great day has arrived.” Six hours before Queen Wilhelmina’s arri%’al 200,000 people had assembled in the streets and around the palace. Her Majesty appeared at 3:30 o’clock p. m., preceded by thirty divisions, including representatives of the army and navy, govern mental and municipal officials and princes from Holland’s East Indian colonies, who came here expressly to witness the enthroning of the young Queen. The royal coach was of white, ornamented with gold and drawn by eight black horses. Queen Wilhelmina, who looked pale and tired, bowed and waved her handkerchief continually. In front of the palace the army and navy were drawn up in the form of a great square. The coach passed along the four sides of the square before drawing up at the entrance to the palace. A few moments later Queen Wilhelmina appeared on the balcony and bowed repeatedly to the 60,000 people who approached the palace, waving handkerchiefs, hats and flags. Meanwhile many bands .were playing national airs, chimes of bells were ringing and steam whistles shrieking their salutes to the young sovereign, SPANISH CORTES MEETS. Constitutional Guarantees Still Suspended and Censorship Rigid. MADRID, Sept. s.—The chambers assembled here to-day. Thus far only routine business has been transacted. Those who had expected sensational scenes on the reopening of the chambers were disappointed. The general public seems indifferent. The people at large is apparently convinced that Spain must accede to whatever the United States demands. At the opening of the Senate the secretary read a letter from Senator Rodriguez, senator from Porto Rico, refusing to obey the summons to attend. The premier. Senor Sagasta, arrayed in the Insignia of his office, ascended the tribune and read a decree authorizing the government to present to the chamber a draft of a law empowering the ministers to renounce sovereignty over the colonies in conformity with the stipulations of the peace preliminaries between Spain and the United States. The president of the Senate proposed a secret discussion of the decree, and, despite the protests of some senators, ordered that the galleries be cleared, which was done, amid loud murmurs of disapproval. The chamber soon became involved in a discussion of press censorship, and a deputy inquired the motive underlying a circular which General Chinchilla, captain general of Madrid, has addressed to newspapers, regulating their reports of the sessions of the Cortes. He declared that the censorship was inconsistently applied, and that the effect of the circular was to punish possible errors in advance. At the close of the censorship discussion, in which deputies who are Journalists protested emphatically against the attitude of the government, Senor Romero y Robledo accused the government of illegality in continuing the suspension of the constitutional guarantees after the reopening of the Cortes. He demanded immediate decrees revoking the suspension. Senor Capdepon. the minister of the Interior, replied that the time was not opportune to revoke the suspension, and reminded Senor Romero y Robledo that a former government of which Senor Romero y Robledo was a member had acted In the same way in 1875. The chamber then adjourned. GLADSTONE’S WILL. Desired No Laudatory Inscription Over Ills Tomb. LONDON. Bept. s.—The will of the late lion. William E. Gladstone hag been pro-

bated. It shows that his personal estate Is valued at £59,506. Mr. Gladstone’s will was written by himself m an ordinary memora idum book. It Is a document of about 2,000 words, and is a remarkable specimen of penmanship. The second clause of the will has reference to the funeral arrangements: “Commending myself to the infinite mercies of God in the Incarnate Son as my only and sufficient hope. I leave the particulars of mv burial to my executors, specifying only that they be simple and private, unless there be conclusive reasons to the contrary. And I desire to be buried where my wife may also lie. On no account shall a laudatory Inscription be placed over me.” After appointing his sons as executors, the will charges the future possessor of Hawarden to remember that, as the head of the family, it will be his duty to extend good offices to other members thereof according to his ability and their manifest needs and merits. The rest of the document leaves souvenirs to servants and bequeaths to his grandson, Williams, all heirlooms held by the testators and books and prints presented to him by the Queer, letters from the Queers, etc. The will bears date Nov. 26, 1596. Honor for Janies Eagan. DUBLIN, Sept. s.—The corporation of Dublin has elected as sword bearer James Eagan, of New York, who was recently released from prison after fifteen years penal servitude for treason. a WANTS TARIFF DECREASED. Germany Makes a Demand and Is Promptly Refused. BERLIN, Sept. s.—The government, through Dr. Von Holleben, German ambassador to the United States, has demanded that the same tariff decreases granted France in the recent treaty shall be accorded Germany, under the “most favored nation” clause. A strong reply by John A. Kasson, special reciprocity commissioner of the United States, refuting the claim, has been presented to Dr. Von Holleben and a copy of it has arrived here. America contends that the “most favored nation” clause does not apply. Germany claims that the treaty of 1828, whose terms include the clause, is still valid, as the United States, by silence, has agreed thereto, and that it was not vitiated by the ”-eaty of 1868. Foreign Office officials here decline to express an opinion on the suoject at present, but will give one later on. Herr Vosburg Eckow, of the central bureau for the preparation of commercial treaties, admitted to-day. in the course of an interview, that the “most favored nation” clause had been violated repeatedly by both Germany and America and that it was doubtful whether the clause still held. He also admitted that the German empire did not take over all treaties of foreign states with Prussia. LABOR DAY IN INDIANA. Brazil Presents a Fine Programme and a Parade a Mile Long.

LABORSTRIKE AT MANILA AMERICAN CUSTOMS QUICKLY INTRODUCED IN PHILIPPINES. First In.surent Newspaper in Spanish Language Sturts—.More Troops Likely to Sail. e MANILA, Philippine islands, Sept. 5. There have been several labor strikes here, the demand being for excessive wages. Because the American authorities in the early exigencies of the situation here agreed to the extravagant demands of laborers it has been difficult to return to an equitable basis. One of these strikes caused the suspension of traffic on the tramways of Manila for three days. Copies of the new tariff have been circulated here, but it has not yet been enforced pending the receipt of instructions from Washington. It is estimated that under the American tariff there will be an average reduction of one-third as compared with that of Spain. An insurgent newspaper printed in the Spanish language appeared here to-day. AT THE PACIFIC STATION. Three More Regiineutit Likely to Be Sent Abroad.

They are the First Tennessee, Fifty-first lowa and Twentieth Kansas. The Sixth and Seventh California are to be mustered out. The California Heavy Artilery has also asked to be mustered out, and the Eighth California will be assigned to garrison duty. This will leave the three regiments named available for service in Honolulu or Manila, and the general expects orders to send them across the ocean for active service. Private Harry H. Elverscn, of Company A, Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment, who was reported to the War Department as having died on July 31 at the French Hospital, has fully recovered his health. It appears on the day he w-as taken to the hospital another whose identity is not known was also removed there. The unknown man died, and his name was reported as Elverson.

Twenty-third Infantry, of typhoid fever. There are now in the hospital 315 patients. Eighty-four are out on furloughs and nine are in other hospitals and three are being cared for in private residences. Colonel Leoper, of the Fifty-first lowa, declares that his men are contented in the service, and that they are willing to remain until General Merriam gets back and it is settled whether they are to go to Honolulu. If the regiment is not to be sent away the colonel says he is as anxious as any of his men to return home. Private Charles R.

If General Merriam on his return reports that there is good camping ground at Honolulu the troops will be sent there if not needed at Manila. WILL FIND OUT.

"WHEELER, Commanding.” ON THE FAT OF THE LAND. Soldiers at Montauk Enjoying' Such Luxuries as Champagne and Oysters. The following extracts from a letter written by a young volunteer member of the engineer corps, now at Montauk, to his parents in this city tell a very different tale from those which fill the sensational newspapers, and indicate that convalescence there is a very agree* bie condition: “Camp conditions are about the same, except that even more contributions of everything under the sun are coming in. The World and the Journal (New York) have tried this week to see which could publish the most sensational stuff about the camp, and people come out here with an idea that they will see dead and dying men lying around everywhere, when really they can’t give away the delicacies they have prepared and brought for them. I have got a touch of indigestion myself from overeating at supper. We had roast beef, potatoes, sweet corn, stewed apples and milk, also bread and butter, and. If you wanted it, coffee. In most of the regiments boxes of fruit stand in the commissary tent for any one who wants to help himself, and the minute the fruit gets stale out it goes, and two or thve more boxes are sent up from the station. Do you wonder that we look with scorn on cakes and sandwiches brought from New York to save our lives? "The Sixteenth United States regulars, many of whom were recruited in Indiana, are doing fairly well in the contribution line. They got three baskets of Murnm'j for each company, the other day. and the men are taking out the straw in their ticks and using in its place underwear and pyjamas and such stuff that has been sent to them to fill the mattresses.

The men are. of course, fast picking up strength under such treatment, though most of them are getting well as slowly as possible just on account of it. * * * The place is absolutely unsafe, according to some doctors, and all right, according to others; so I suppose, to decide the question, w r e will stay until something happens." Indiana Veterans Returned. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON. Ind., Sept. s.—Geo. A. Morris, of the Seventeenth Regiment, arrived home from Montauk to-day. He was one of the men who went to Cuba on the Cherokee. He says that there is no blame to be attached to any one in charge of the operations before Santiago and says almost all the men realize that it was an impossibility to care for them as though they were in a city. He adds, however, that they did suffer greatly for want of food and of attention which could not be given them. He says that many men were sick because of inability to get food to the front and all are of the opinion that there were some mistakes made, but all realize that it was a situation which warfare has seldom presented. Frank Wright, with the Twelfth Regiment before Santiago, returned to his home, at Summitville, to-day. He says he found the Spaniards anything but what they are cartooned. Football and the Army. CAMP WIKOFF, Montauk Point. N. Y„ Sept. 5. —The following telegram was received to-day from Gorgham, Me., date Sept. 4.: "Lieutenant Lucien Stacy died here this morning. CLINTON STACY, M. D." Lieutenant Stacy was one of the most celebrated football players on the West Point team, it has been a subject of remark that many of the highly trained athletes and football players of the army succumb in service as quickly, if not more so, than others. Manv of the young men who appeared for examination recently appointed from civil life and failed to pass the physical examination, are reputed, persistently so. by their friends, as being the most celebrated athletes of their various colleges. It would appear from this that the best preparation for service in the field is not always the athletic grounds, particularly where it is carried to excess. Login import Boy Anions Them.

The fact remains that this tremendous mortality was to a great extent due to the lack of inherent resisting power in the victims. These babies when born had in their bodies the seeds of disease. The deadly heated term only shortened the period of their sufferings. If a woman wishes her babies to be healthy and strong and able to resist the usual ailments of childhood, she must take proper care of herself in a womanly way during the period of gestation.
