Hart in the Field—Colonel Mosby Gets a Let- ter From General Miles. The United States troops at the Pre- sidio are ready for action. The First ntry, rully equippped for fleld serv ice, is awaiting orders to march. The sig- nal to go to the front is hourly expected by the officers and men. The order direct- ing that officers shall not leave the post without special permission from the com- manding officer has not been modified or revoked. The report was circulated at the post exchange yesterday that Min- | ister Woodford had been recalled from Madrid. The soldiers understand that the shooting will begin shortly after the dip- hence their eager inquiry as to the truth of the re- port. General Shafter was at headquarters early yesterday morning. He held a conference with Colonel Evan Miles, First Infantry; Lieutenant-Colonel Wallace F. Randolph, Third Artillery, commanding the artillery forces at tne Presidio; Mayc Thomas M. K. Smith, commanding the First Infantry battalion at Benicia barracks, and Lieutenant-Col- onel Louis T. Morris, commanding the squadron of the Fourth Cavalry at the Presidio. The general was busy throughout the day. He said, In reply to questions, that the troops were ready for active service. He did not belleve, however, that the First Infantry would be ordered to leave this department until war was declared. Speaking of the situation at San Diego, General Shafter said: “The batteries to be placed in position there will be able 10 take care of that harbor.

The ar- tillerymen of the Third are now engaged in mounting the guns of the second mortar battery.

H, Hart is in the field as the organizer of a Cali- fornia brigade of veterans for service in the approaching war with Spain. The story goes that General Hart took Pres- ident MecKinley into his confidence on this subject and that the latter highly approved the plan of organization. It is quite obvious to everybody that the Union and Confederate veterans of the late war are going to take quite an active part in the conflict with Spain. The youngest of the veterans of the late war are over 53 years of age. Years, however, have not dlmlnlsheg their fighting spirit, but t is a question whether their discretion La.s not been dulled. Men who fully ap- preciate the hardships of an active cam- paign fancy that the hardiest young men will be needed for a campaign in Cuba. 1t is a glorious thing for the old veterans to volunteer, but sensible soldiers doubt the dom of sending to Cuba a column of enlisted men whose ages respectively &orrespond with the years of the young- est veterans of the late war. The story goes that General Hart and his friends will supply the money to equip the brigade as mounted rifiemen. The men Who gerved at the front on department | | elther side from 1861 until 1865 may do excellent work in organizing and lead- ing volunteers, but when it comes to marching by night and fighting by day the burden of the conflict will fall on the youngsters. It is true that veterans of the Mexican war took an active part in the war of the rebellion, but the latter conflict came within fourteen years after the campaign in Mexico closed. It is now thirty-three S since the last shot was fired in the r of the rebellion. The fighting then was done by young men vhose ages ranged from 18 to 30 years. The war with Spain must be fought by oung men of the country. Colonel John S. Mosby, the Confederate raider, is in receint of a cordial letter from Major-General Nelson A. iMiles, in which the latter acknowledges the re- ceipt of the colonel’s tender of service in ng war with Spain. The colonel, 2 his services, wrote that the with which he served a cause that St would convey an idea of the that he would probanly render > that promised so many oppor- of success. Colonel Mosby holds that there is no reason why war against Spain should be declared, but If a decla- ration comes, he will ch ? ratior eerfully go to the —_————— WILL SMASH CLAY BIRDS.

A war with Spain will be likely to cause a war tax to be levied upon beer and other luxuries, and In expectation of such a tax many brewers are buying large quantities of stamps, belleveing that these stamps will be accepted as full pay- ment for all internal revenue taxes. But their calculations have received a setback by the issuance of the following circular from the Commisioner of Internal Rev- enue: In view of the prospective Increase in the rate of internal revenue tax on beer, brewers may endeavor to purchase quantities of beer stamps for future use and largely in excess of their present needs. You are, therefore, In- structed to advise all brewers when purchas- ing beer stamps that the stamps now in use will not be available for the payment of tax on beer after the passage of an act increasing the rate of taxation thereon. Immediately on the approval of such an act, the new rate of taxation will attach to and become payable on all beer not actually sold or removed from the brewery premises for consumption or sale. Such_excessive purchases of stamps, if made will not only greatly increase the work in this office and yours, in the redemption of stamps, but will deprive brewers of the use of the money invested therein until such stamps can redeemed. —————e—— BROKE THE WI\NDOW.

The Whalers at Point Barrow Had but Little Hope of Success. LETTERS FROM ALASKA. A Batch of Epistles Which Were Carried Four Thousand Miles on Sleds. The marvelous story told by Third Mate Tilton of the steam whaler Belvedere ex- clusively in The Call of yesterday was the talk of commercial circles. In the af- ternoon a cipher dispatch arrived which shows that Mate Walker also succeeded on the other route. A more thrilling nar- rative of hairbreadth escapes and perils of the rigid Arctic was never told. Those most familiar with the country—old whalers and sea captains acquainted with the fierce storms of the blizzard stricken Arctic, would not have believed such a Jjourney possible but for the undisputed fact that it s made. Letters recefved from Point Barrow, which were carried as far as Portland by Mate Tilton, show that his comrades did not believe he would ever be abie to force his way to_civilization. One of the interesting letters brought to this city was addressed to E. H. Shel- don. It was written by Captain Coffin of the Rosario. He evidently had no faith that Tilton would arrive beyond the Arc- tie. The following is the full text of the POINT BARROW, October 10, 1897. To E, H. Sheldon, 327 Market street, San Francisco—Dear Sir: I am one and a half miles south of Point Barrow, fifty yards from the beach, ten feet of water under the stern, nine under the bow. 'The ice alongside is thirteen inches thick; new fce. 1 cut the schooner in through the ice (the 20th of last month) about an eighth of a mile to this position. The Orca, Belvedere and Jessie Freeman bucked out through the ridge of sround ice the day before. Impossible for me to get out, as at that time 1 was frozen in. The day I cut In the Orca was abandoned; Freeman also. Natives set her on fire and she burned up. That was fifty miles south of here. The Belvedere was with them, but managed to get through the young ice to shoal water, just north of the Sea Horses (islands), where she is now. Nearly’ all the men have come up to Cape Smyth, The Newport and Fearless are thirty- five miles east of here, close to Cape Simpson. The Jennie is seventy miles from here off Pitt Point. There are just 300 men and short ra- I am the only one with flour enough to wint The only thing needful for me is coal, T went to the coal mine, too, but my folks could find but little coal. I got into this scrape by trying to pick up the Navarch'screw; also carrying two officers to the Bayliss east of here. I was with the Bear when the captain and the seven men came on board. I went much farther east than 1 wanted to go to try and get the thirty men who were drifting about on the ice. 1 hardly think you will get this letter. going to send it by Mr. Tilton, who is going to try to reach civilization. I dongt think he will ever reach farther than Point Hope. Telegraph my wife I am all right. The schooner has nine chances out of ten to come out all right. I don't know what to write you in regard to sending up supplies. ‘The Navarch was ten miles off the Newport and Fearless. Seven of the nine men came ashore. They got out a lot of flour, beef and pork. But the ice broke off and they lost it. Respectfully yours, CAPTAIN E. COFFIN. The refuge station is gone. The Nfeam Whaling Company. I hear, said they could take care of all shipwrecked men at Cape Smyth. They have nothing here. ~Were it not for Liebes’ place the men would starve this winter. The following cipher dispatch was re- ceived by E. L. Griffith of this city yes- terday, showing that Fifth Mate Charles H. Walker_of the Orca, who made the Mackenzie River route, has arrived safely at Winnipeg. It was forwarded by him from Edmondson: ON BOARD THE JENNIE, Oct. 30, 1507. E. L. Griffith, San Francisco, Cal.—Dear Sir: The Jenme, Newport, Fearless, Belvedere I am e : ‘signature of is on every wrapper _of CASTORIA, and Rosario are in winter ~narters within 100 miles of Point Barrow. Will get out safe next spring. The Orca and Freeman were lost in the ice September 20. ‘W. J. DRYNEN. An interesting letter to Griffith came from E. L. McIlhenny, a scientist who is studying the country for his own amuse- ment and benefit. It is as follows: POINT BARROW, Oct. 11, 1597. E. L. Griffith, San Francisco—Dear Sir: Let- ters go with this with the full particulars of | the wreck of the Orca and Freeman, off Point | Franklin, and the freezing in of the Belvedere at the same place. The Newport, Jennle and Fearless being frozen in east of Point Tangent. I received letters from Captains Leavitt of | the Newport and McKenna of the Fearless asking for help, as they were hopelessly frozen in. Two_ days later I left here, with Tom Gordon, for their ships, while these letters were sent me by Charlie Brower from Captain Sherman of the Orca and Captain Porter of the eman, stating that they were wrecked, and asking for help. 1 at once came back here, and, with Brower's assistance, got Gog leams and a lot of natives down to them. As soon as we got them off we fixed up the houses, and when the men got here, on October 4, we were ready for them. Sixty-four men came on the 4th, and we have them quartered in the old houses now. There are about twenty more to come from the west and forty from the east, leaving fifteen men with each of the ships, to the eastward, with provisions. 1 got quite an additional supply of stuft from the first ships going west, and that, with what the other stations have, will keép the men from starving. 1 am taking care of all of the men, and when my provisions give out Mr. Brower will let me Lave all he has. I have sent all my na- tives inland hunting, and Mr. Brower has done the same. Mr. Brower and I will do all in our power to aid the men, and have no fear now of having a narrow gscape from a hungry winter. | Mr. Brower is outfitting Tilton, third mate | of the Belvedere, to_go to Point Hope and along the coast to Sitka. I am outfitting Charles H. Walker, fifth mate of the Orca, to 80 to Fort McPherson, and I hope one of them will get letters through. I send duplicate Jet- ters both ways. E. A. McILHENNY. Another important letter brought by Mate Tilton was one to Lieutenant John D. Miley, U. S. A., of General Shafter's staff from Captain G. L. Edie, assistant surgeon U. S. A., who left this city for St. Michael last September and arrived at his destination in due time. In the letter, bearing date St. Michael, January 17, 1898, Dr. Edie writes: Some time sinee I sent you a letter by a man who was going by dog sled to Dawson. I think that he will get through but for fear of acci- dent I send vou this by Mr. Tilton, mate of the whaling ship Belvedere. He has come from Point Barrow ‘and is the' man who will get through. As he has promised me to call at headquarters in San Francisco he can tell his | own story. He is the only man among the 360 shipwrecked sailors at Point Barrow ~who would volunteer for the trip. The Bear could not get very far north on ac- count of the ice and landed Lieutenant Jarvis and party several hundred miles south of hero. He is going to Point Barrow with dog sleds | He brought the first and only news we hav: had from the outside world. When the rein- deer come some of us will go through to Daw~ son. . In another letter which Lieutenant Mi- | ley received from Dr. Edie yesterday— presumably the letter which went by dog | sled to Dawson—the surgeon writes: Everything froze up tight the 20th of October. The place and country about are bleak and | dreary. The ice in the Yukon breaks up sev- | eral months sooner than that in the Bering Sea around St. Michael. The health of the men is good, although the water is very bad. IN MEMORY OF THE DEAD. Bishop Nichols Holds an Impressive Service at Cypress Lawn.

Some Timely Hints for All Who Are Go= ing Through This Trying Scason. Scientific Magazine. Be careful of your diet. You do not need heavy food such as you require during the winter. Spring may_ be beautiful, but it is treacherous. Do not let it deceive you into a cold, a fever, malaria or pneu- monia. Do not throw off your winter flannels too early. It is better to suffer a little inconvenience than to take cold. If you feel tired, feverish or over- heated, do not rush off and take “Spring medicines.”” Cool yourself down and in this way help your sys- tem and purify your blood. If you feel hot and tkirsty, do not | drink large quantities of water or oth- er “long” drinks. It is much better to take a little pure whiskey and water which will quench the thirst, tone the system and fortify against disease. Remember that only pure whiskey shpuld ever be taken into the system, | and that the leading chemists and scientists of the present day unite in declaring that Duffy's Pure Malt is ab- solutely the purest and best. Do not permit any druggist or gro- cer to persuade you to take “something else.” Bear in mind that this is a med- icinal whiskey and far superior for this reason, while it costs no more. If you use proper care and follow the advice above given, you may hopa to go_through the spring, in Eod r.hane. OCEAN TRAVEL Pacific Coast Steamship Co.
