They were there joined by guides, but these deserted on January and the two men were left to pur- sue their trip alone. They had been on the road from Alokuk but three days when the dog meat gave out and their own provisions became so scarce that they had to put themselves on ra- | tions. The food supply was entirely ex- hausted on February 8, and, driven to extremes by the pangs of hunger, they were compelled to kill one of their | dogs. Maidhof refused to eat the meat land in three days was so weak from | exhaustion and exposure that he was | unable to continue the journey further. | By this time they had reached what they thought to be the Yukon. It turned out to be merely a sluice. After crossing a hill they reached a valley and followed it for a considerable dis- tance. Finally, becoming discouraged, they decided to turn back. Camp was made in the valley for the | night and the following morning every- | thing was in readiness for the start, | when Maidhof declared that the hun- gry dogs had chewed up his shoes. Af- | fer Morgan had, with some difficulty, | made a rough foot-covering of dog | skin for his companion, Maidhof com- | plained of being so fatigued that he could no longer guide the sled. It was idea was to load the body on his sled and take it back to St. Michael, but, finding this impracticable, he decided to bury it on the spot. He camped there three days, moving his camp fire |slightly each day, and joined the three | holes thus made in the frozen ground into a grave. He wrapped his tent {about Maidhof's remains, and, saying the Lord’'s prayer as he committed |them to their chilly resting place, pro- | ceeded on his journey back to St. Mi- chael. Morgan was now reduced to the ut- most extremity. He had only a razor and a pair of scissors and with these novel utensils prepared his daily diet of dog meat. He would cut up a dog with the razor, and clipping off the hair with the scissors would devour the raw flesh. On March 4 he struck the main trail and there a new misfortune be- fell him. He was stricken with snow blindness. Blind, half-starved and alone in a wide, frozen waste, he re- mained in camp for days nursing his | eves. But one dog was left. He made from this a gallon of broth and greed- ily devoured the unsavory mess at one meal. By March 7 he had recovered his sight sufficiently to proceed, but had made but little distance whén he was again overcome by the dazzle of the Snow. Morgan had resigned himself to his | fate and laid down in the snow to die when he became conscious of the ap- proach of human beings. He raised his voice in a shout and it was answered by a band of Indians who were travel- | ing near. The natives fed and warmed the half-dead white man and took him to Unalakleet. There he remained sev- eral days to recover life in his frozen | feet and hands and then left for St. Michael. The Indians there told of having found Morgan on the trall and gave out the fact that he had attempted to trade | a watch with them. From the descrip- | | tion of the timepiece given by the In- dians it was recognized as having been | the one formerly carried by Maidhof. | Suspicion was at once directed toward Morgan that he had not dealt fairly | with his companion, and a charge of | murder and robbery was lodged against | him. He asserted his innocence in most | | positive terms and offered to conduct | | a party of white men to the grave if they cared to exhume the body and ex- amine into the cause of death. In April a party of four started | with the accused man for the valley in which Maidhof was alleged to have | been buried, but had gone only forty ‘mlles when the snow was found too | soft for travel and they were forced to | return, Morgan will be taken to Sitka for trial. Opinion in St. Michael is divided | as to his guilt. H. G. STEELE. SINTIAGO IS ADESTHOLE Ripe With Filth for an Epidemic. | WHAT AN INSPECTION SHOWS NO SEWERS AND ONLY SURFACE DRAINAGE. | Overpowering Odors in the Breeding | Centers of Malaria, Typhoid and Other Low Fevers. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SANTIAGO, July 18, via Kingston, Jamaica, July 19.—General Shafter has had a thorough examination made of the sanitary condition of Santiago. The work was done by Dr. Goodfellow of the general's staff and by a civilian physician, Dr. Orlando Dwiker. They find that although there are at present but six cases of yellow fever in the city | in addition to two suspects the town is ripe for an epidemic. Santiago and Rio Janeiro are ¢ nsidered the greatest fever-breeding centers in the world. This town lacks every sanitary feature at its best, and now, after two months’ siege, leaving it dirty and repellant, it is a veritable pesthole. The awful stenches that arise from the streets stagger and choke one. No cordlal in Santiago has the power to wash out this odor from one's throat. The city of Santiago is a typlcal trop- fcal place, with narrow crooked streets and low, one-storied dwellings and stores. Many of the houses are stuc- coed and painted with startling colors, sky-blue and vivid shades of green pre- dominating. These, with the red tiles of the roofs and the quaint verandas, show evidences of past picturesqueness, but everything is now in a state of dilapidation and decay and the city is but a shadow of its former self. The majority of the houses are absolute ruins and the once beautiful gubnc squares are now utterly neglected. There is no sewage system. The city drainage is all from the surface into the harbor, and through the lower part of the city much of the drainage runs, especially from the poor quarter, around the bull-ring to the northwest of the city, which is the breeding center of malaria, typhoid and other low fev- ers. There are four hospitals in the city—the Civil Hospital, presided over by the Sisters of Charity, and the Mili- tary, Mercedes and Conchas hospitals. In these four hospitals there are 1,747 patients, which is a comparatively small number, considering the lack of food and the long siege, but it must be remembered that the reconcentrados were never admitted to the hospitals and when the notification of the pro- posed bombardment by our batteries was received every patient who could stagger out was driven into the streets. Twenty lepers who were in the Civil Hospital were turned into the streets | ernment also are exempt. and they have been roaming in the streets ever since. The largest number of patients is in the Military Hospital, where are 27 wounded Spanish officers and 431 wounded Spanish sailors and | soldiers. In addition there are hundreds | of cases of malaria and dysentery and six cases of yellow fev GOVERNMENT PAPERS EXEMPT FROM TAX Federal Officials Not Required to Affix Stamps to Official Documents. WASHINGTON, July 19.—The Com- missioner of Internal Revenue has | made the following ruling, which has | been approved by the Department of | Justice: | “That papers and instruments exe- cuted, made or isued by officers of the Government of the United States in the discharge of official functions pertain- ing to the operation of the governmen- tal machinery and for the use or bene- fit of the United States are exempt | from tax. In line with this ruling it | is held that all checks or drafts made | and issued by the disbursine officers of the United States upon Goverment | funds or deposits, in payment of Gov- | ernment obligations or duties, are ex- empt, and all certificates of officers of the United States given in the dis- | charge of officlal functions necessary in | carrying on the machinery of the Gov- | The same | principle would extend to instruments and papers of whatever character (otherwise subject to tax) executed, made, or issued by officers of the United States Government for govern- mental purposes. Where, however, cer- tificates or other instruments are issued by any department or officer of the Government at the request of private persons, solely for private use, a stamp should be affixed.” st L THIS IS THE LIMIT OF SPANISH CREDULITY Santiago Soldiers Believe America Has Purchased Cuba and That They Are Not Captives. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 18, via Kingston, Jamaica, July 19.—The Spanish soldiers were encamped be- tween the lines on the reverse slope of the hill, on which are our intrench- ments. Many of them believed, as they have been told so, that the United States has purchased the island of Cuba and that our Government would pay them their arrears of pay and return them to Spain. They repudiate the idea that they have surrendered. St S g MAY BE REWARDED FOR HIS FIDELITY TUtah Volunteer Declines to Leave the Service When Relatives Open the Way. WASHINGTON, July 19.—Senator Can- non of Utah appeared at the White House to-day and called to the President's at- tention the position of Wesley McCor- mack of Salt Lake, Utah. After he had enlisted as a private his folks brought considerable influence ‘to bear for his discharge. Finally, located at Tampa he was telegraphed to and im- mediate reply came, declining the proffer of release from service and an- nouncing that he would not leave and that any efforts in that direction were not invited by him.
