Telegrams to Secretary of War Alger in Behalf of Colonel Henshaw’s Regiment. In view of the fact that General Mer- ritt’s demand for more trogps will be promptly complied with the Eighth California Regiment will very likely soon have a chance to 80 to the front in the Philippines. Although the Eifghth California is one of the most recently organized regiments it 1s by no means made up of inexperi- enced men. It is mainly composed of National Guardsmen who have seen sev- eral years' military service. It is con- ceded that this regiment has within fts ranks the very best material in this State. The men are all robust and in splendid health. In fact, it would be dif- ficult to find anywhere & military organ- ization that contains so many perfect specimens of physical manhood. The reg- iment s well "equipped -and efficlently drilled and is in every respect prepared to take the field for active service at an hour’s notice and every man is anxious to do so. At a meeting of influential citlzens yes- terday afternoon a dispatch was formu- lated setting forth all the. above facts and sent to Secretary of War Alger re- questing him to give the Eighth €alifor- nla an early opportunity to go to the Philippines. Similar. telegrams have been sent fo Secretary Alger by grominent men in varlous parts of the State and-a favorable reply i{s expected to-day. It is uite likely, therefors, that the Eighth “alifornia will soon be on its way to the Philippines. 4 —_— Utah Light Artillery. The Utah Light Artillery, which ar- rived at Oakland at 9:3) last night, will come over to San Francisco early this morning and go into camp at the Pre- sidio. Although coming with almost l;:o equipment, they will find everything in SKIN HUMORS My wife had on het limbs five small pimples that began to enlarge, developing into eating ulcers, which, despite efforts to cure them, grew worso, eating to the bone. With two Dotties of CUTICURA RESOLVENT, one box of CuTICURA{ointment), and one cake of CUTI- CuRA BOAP, she was cured in two months. T was afflicted with papular rash, from which I could not rest day or night. My skin became in a very bad fix. CUTICURA REME- p1zs cured me in one month. My baby girl was afflicted with Eczema, her limbs from her knees down were one solld sore from which she suffered greatly. With CuricURA REMEDIES theré was a complete cure. A.A.MCLARTY, J.

B. Dutton Has Lost All Faith in the Efiicacy of a Rabbit’'s Foot to Bring Him Good Luck. That unlucky number 13. ever eome around the Horn from Boston to San Francisco. “During all the month ‘of April we were off the River Platte and had a terrible time of it. The distance we would make one day we would lose the next and bad luck did not forsake us until Mayday. On June 6 and 7 the glass was down to 28.80 and it blew a hurricane. We were hove to forty-eight hours and had it not been for the oil bags we put over the sides I do not know what we would have done. ‘With a hook and line we caught both albatross and bonita. One day we saw a big turtle floating in the water and the cook determined to catch it. He let out a line with a big hook the end and luckily he hooked the tur®e. The sudden plunge it gave nearly took him overboard, but he held on and we soon got the gen- tleman alongside. It took five of us to get him aboard and maybe that turtle soup didn’t taste good.” The Richardsor has .in ber hold a 30- foot gteam launch in sections. When St. Michael is reached the gold-hunters will proceed en up the Yukon in the launch after the launch has been put together. They have also seven dorfes with them with which they will prospect the differ- ent crecks that empty into -the river. All their supplies will be purchased here and every man will be thoreughly fitted out for a winter in the frozen north. In spite of that unlucky thirteen it is safe to say that if success is to be achieved on the Klondike the members of the Commonwealth Mining Company of Bos- ton will succeed. R. Dutton, a teamster, picked up some- body’s luck yesterday and now he wishes he hadn’t. Dutton is a strapping young fellow who has never met with an acci- dent or had a day’s sickness in his life. It had and has no terrors for the mem- | bers of the Commonwealth Mining Com- | pany of Boston, and yet they incorporated | Yesterday morning while en his way to work he picked up a Tabbit's. foot and was highly elated over his find.

During the voyage they killed thirteen albatrosses and caught thirteen | bonita, but the thirteenth member of the | party never reached San Francisco. Nine | out from Boston he was washed rboard during a gale and his com- | anfons could- do nothing toward saving | him. One moment they saw him on the crest of.a wave and the next he was gon Still they are full of hope and | every man of them expects to make a| fortune in the frozen north. They are a splendid set of m members of the Commonwealth Mining Company. Every one of them is pre- pared for rough times and the harder the work the better they will like it. There | are no kid glove miners among them and vet each one has a fair share of this world’s goods and none of them will be broke if their venture on the Yukon fails. | On February 13 last the schoener Reub | L. Richardson sailed from Boston with | the following gold hunters aboard—mem- bers of the Commonwealth Mining. Com- pany: Captain T. Murphy, Carl L. John- son, H. L. Ewell, O. C. Grant, F. E. Nickerson, Howard Coleman, C. R: Baker, Olaf Nellson, Michael Carey, George G. Dow, A. H. Bryant, James Murphy and From the time the schooner left port rough weather was encountered and on February 22 it was blowing a liv- ing gale. The Vi ol ‘was put before it under a double reefed foresail, but even under that ‘rag’ she was logging elght knots an_hour. About i0 a. m. some of the men came on deck to get a breath of fresh air, nearly all having been seasick since leav- ing Boston. Among them was Nellson, Ewell and Bengsten. They all sat down aft, Bengsten being nearest the rail. A hedvy sea broke aboard and rushipg aft washed all three meh into the scuppers. Neiison and Ewell managed to get hold of something and hold on, but another wave came along and washed Bengsten overboard. He had his rubber boots and oflskins on beside being weak from the seasickness so his chances were very poor. The only boats aboard were dories and ‘while they would have lived in the sea that was running they would have beeri worse ‘than useless owing to the rapldlsv with which they would have been driven to .leeward. The captain dared not put-the schooner about for fear of foundering, so poor Bengsten had to be left to_his fate. He was In business: in Lynn, Mass., but sold out and joined the Commonwealth Mining Company ex pedition. He was about years oid and unmarried. The gold hunters of the Reub L. Rich- ardson’ have quite a mumber of memen- toes of their voyage. aboard. There are sharks’ fins, °albatross skins, feet of Mother Carey's chickens, a big turtle ghell gand a pair of carrier pigeons that came around the Horn on the schooner. ““We had four pigeons aboard when we left Boston,” said A. H. Bryant, secre- tary of the’company.. yesterday. ' +When we got into_the gulf stream we let two of them go, but they never reached home. The other pair we named Bill and Topsy, and as we were too far out at sea to risk another message with them they re- mained aboard and have the honor oifll,)e ve en, these | it in his pocket .and visions of, all ‘the good things that were in store for him | floated through his mind. ~Two hour later_he was on the operating table in the Harbor Receiylng Hospital with a striined "back. While handling some goods on Vallejo'street-wharf he gave a sudden wrench to his spine that will keep him in.bed for:many months to come. As soon as Dutton was clear of the doctors he put his hand-in his pocket and | drew forth the rabbit's foot. -He Inoked at It for a moment and said: “No won- | der your former owner lost you. If that's the kind of luck you bring tns sogner you're out of the way the better.”” With that he threw the foot out of the open window into the bay, but before it sank a seagull swooped down ‘and swallowed it. Dutterr says‘he will follow the career of that gull with interest. The American ship Kennebec arrived from Baltimore yesterday after an un- usually long voyage of 202 days.. Captain Lewis blames light winds and calms for the long passage. The British ship ‘King David, 3 from Newcastle, N. 8. W., and the Gel man bark Marco Polo, ‘161 days from_ SI- The King cily, also got in_yesferday.* Davld is here on her maiden voyage and is in command of Captain Jones, who was last here in the Dolbarden Castle. Captain Jones superintended the build- ing of the King Pavid and is very proud of his ship., At the outset of her vov- age the Marco Polo had a hard time of it.. On February % she was caught in a gale, during which the water casks broke adrift and the pigsty wes washed over- board. Walter Daggett, an assistant steward on the river steamer H. J. Corcoran, fell overboard during Sunday night's trip down the river. A boat was lowered. and he was saved- without much difficulty.
