There has been a shortage of firewaod at camp on several occa- ns. . The natives have driven off with iives the soldiers sent to eut down trees, and clashes have been imminent at several times, but the officers have been able to restrain the soldiars. Major Bell of the Bureau of Military and Kear n, and a former ant Connor of the E Engelsjon, a Norwe dent of Ma have returced t vite from the most daring recon- noissance yet accomplished. They were landed by the Petrel north of Manila, and |traveled three days through the rain’and in the water sometimes walist deep. They acquired valuable tono- graphical information. The men encamped are exposed to t. weather, and unless a forward move- ment occurs soon much sickness is in- evitable, as the camp is on low lying tand not easily drained. According ‘to the present plans a probable demand for the surrender of Manila will be sent to Captain General Augusti. If the surrender is refused the fleet will attack in front and the First and Second Brigades under Gen- eral ‘Anderson will advance southeast through San Sodro, Macate and Wan- duyolayon upon the Spanish positions a Ana and Santa M If Cap- yeneral Augusti surrenders the American troops will land at Manila, the troops at Camp Dewey holding the insurgents in check.

DANGEROUS ATTITUDE OF THE INSURGENTS WASHINGTON, Aug. 1—General Merritt has again cabled the War De- partnient ‘relative to the situation in Manila, . which he finds very unsatis- factory and dangerous, owing to the attitude of the insurgents. In the opin- ion of General Merritt the position of th: insurgents there is similar to that | .agsumed by Garcla’s Cubans upon the question of their right to enter and Po! themselves of the city, although in this case the insurgents are a very much more formidable element, being not- only more numerous, “but better armed and filled with the arrogance fol- lowing numerous. victories over their Spanish foes. General Merritt, how- ever, indicates that he will do his ut- most to protect the citizens from the savagery of the insurgents, though his task is a delicate and difficult one be- causé of the fact that he must, while | fighting the Spaniards; be ready at any moment to repel the insurgents.

FRIEDRICHSRUHE, Aug. 1—Pro- fessor von Lenbach arrived this after- noon. He has just seen Bismarck’s body and tells me of his impressions. Bismarck looks simple and dignified— very much in death as in life, though paler if possible. Hands always beau- tiful have become more delicate still, but death has not changed Prince Bis- marck as it did Dr. Dollinger, who In life had a somewhat reddish face, which in death was idealized almost to marble like cameo. Professor von Lenbach is eloquent with anecdotes concerning his idolized friend. He was here on the occasion of Prince Bismarck's eightieth birthday three years ago, and on parting told the Prince he felt sure he had many happy years yet before him. “My dear Lenbach,” Bismarck re- plied, “the first eighty years of a man’s life are always the happiest.” More recently still, last year, in say- ing good-by, Professor von , Lenbach | again expressed the hope 'that his | friend would see still some happy days. |'To this Prince Bismarck replied: “There’'s only one happy day left for me; it is the one on which I shall not wake up again.” Two of the Prince’s foresters in gray and green uniforms hold guard by the bedside. They are changed every two hours. 1 glanced around the plainly furnished room. On the wall over the | head of the bed hang the pictures of the Prince’s favorite horse and dog; to the left hang the pictures of Princess Bismarck, their son William and a por- trait of Schweninger by Professor von Lenbach; at the foot of the bed still | stands the Prince’s weighing machine, and still further away is the couch on whic¢h Dr. Schweninger slept watehing lror months past when at Friedrichs- | ruhe. | Passing into the next room I find it | fillled with objects sadly reminding me | of the departed statesman. A plcture | | of Li Hung Chang rests on the floor | for want of a better place, but a globe | of the world, with raised mountains Life. ;i cellor, took a special train for Fried- richsruhe this afternoon; in° order to convey. to the family-the condolences of the Prussian Ministry of State. and i:; place a wreath upon the Chancellor’s er. The City Councils of Berlin and Mu- nich will hold special sessions on Tues- day, the Prince having had the hon- orary freedom of these cities. The Cariruhe City Council has passed a resolution of condolence and has se- lected delegates to attend the funeral. Baron von Bulow tells the corre- spondent of the Associated Press that nothing definite regarding Prince Bis- marck’s funeral will be decided upon until the wishes of Emperor William and the family of the deceased are as- certained. A This evening Prince von Hohenlohe, the Imperial Chancellor, and Count von Schoenborn arrived at Friedrichsruhe. In the presence of the Chancellor the ¢offin was closed, after which Prince Hohenlohe left Friedrichsruhe. Emperor William, ‘accompanied by the Empress, who wore a mourning cos- tume, arrived at Kiel this evening. Ba- ron von Bulow, the Foreign Minister, and Dr. von Lucanus, chief of the Em- peror’s Clvil Cablnet, are also at Kiel. The Emperor has ordered that gor- geous funeral obsequies be held in Ber- lin on the square in front of the Reich- stag building. The famous German artist, Herr Franz von Lenbach, has been commis- sioned to palnt a portrait of the dead statesman. The ceremony of blessing Prince Bis- marck’s remains will be performed to- morrow, only the near relatives attend- ing. The coffin will then be closed and will remain in the castle until the mau- soleum is completed, which will be in October next. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1.—The newspapers here are unanimous in lauding the greatness and eminernt gen- ius of Prince Bismarck. . The Novoe Vremya says: “He was the most gifted diplomatist of all time.” WASHINGTON, Aug. l-—-Embassa- dor White to-day cabled the State De- partment as follows: BERLIN, Aug. 1—Adee, Acting Secre- tary, State Department, Washington: I -am requested to tender the thanks of the Emperor and the German. people to the President and people of the United States for the message of condolence referrin | and deepened seas has a place-on the | table, and an article appropriate and useful to one for whom the world was | indeed a stage—an arena of battle. | Drinking cups are there, too, and there | | are a number of hats and sticks.

This evening his remains will be placed in a coffin which is of black pol- ished wood, with two massive silver ! handles and four metal feet.represent- |ing a lion's head. The fuperal service | | has been deferred until to-morrow,-as ' it is Count William's birthday. A guard of Bismarck’s cuirassiers in their white uniforms arrived from Halberstadt this morning. Prince Hohenlohe, Imperial Chancellor, has just come on a visit of condolence. PP B, | OFFERED BURIAL IN \ THE IMPERIAL TOMBS | | Emperor William’s Tender Letter. Bismarck’'s Epitaph as Writ- ten by Himself. BERLIN, Aug. 1—In regard to Prince Bismarck's testament -it- is known that Friedrichsruhe, with the title of Prince, descends to Count Her- | bert Bismarck, t! oldest son, the fam- | 1ly of Count von Rantzau, the husband | of Prince Bismarck’s daughter, remain- | ing there temporarily. Schoenhausen | goes to Count William Bismarck, the second son. The late Prince’s money, which is estimated to amount to sev- eral million marks—a larger amount than was generally supposed—is divid- ed among the three children and the young Rantzau. The money is partly |in_the Bank of England and partly in fiie Bleiroeder Bank. The decora- | tions, diamonds and art objects, valued | at about a million marks, are deposited with a Berlin jeweler. Dr. Schweninger. the Prince’s physi- cian, now says that the immediate cause of death was effusion of blood on the brain. The remains of the great Chancel- lor's have been dressed in the uniform of the Halberstadt cuirassiers. An enormous number of wreaths and other floral fributes have already arrived at Friedrichsruhe. So strict is the exclu- sion at the Schloss that Count Poso- dowski, the Minister of the Interior, had to wait twenty minutes before he was admitted. The official Reichanzeiger, which appears to-day with black borders, publishes the telegram which Emperor ‘William sent Prince Herbert Bismarck. It is as follows: “In deep sorrow and sympathizing at the grief which has struck you all for your beloved great dead, I lament the loss of Germany's great som, Wwhose faithful co-operation in the work of uniting the Fatherland won for him the lifelong friendship of my grand- father, resting in God, and the undyiag thanks of the whole German people for all time. I shall prepare a last abode for his remains in Berlin, in the Cathe- dral by the side of my ancestors.” The Emperor has ordered the court to go into mourning for ten-days, and has ordered the armv to o into mourn- ing for eight days. The flags on all the imperial and state buildings willt be at half-mast until af- ter the funeral. The Reichanzeiger publishes a long artiele to-day extolling. Blsmarck’s im- mortal services and declaring the Fath- erland has lost her greatest son. After saying that Prince Bismarck was not only the unifier, but also the educator of nis people, the. Reichanzeiger con- tinues: “If it is ‘true that states are maintained by the spirit and power in which - they are created the name. of Bismarck will remain for us as a device and -a revelation at all times.” A dispatch from: Friedrichsrube to the Hamburg Nachrichten says it has been definitely decided that the remains of Prince Bismarck are to be interred at the spot selected by himself, where a simple mausoleum will be built, and te which the remains of his wife will be transferred from Varsein. Until the mausoleum Is completed thé funeral rites will be confined to the simple cere- mony of blessing the. remains, which will*be performed- by thé local pastor of the village of Brunstorf. Prince Bismarck’'s final ‘written in- structions, signed by himself, express his” desire to be buried in a selected * the death of Prince Blsmarek. WHITE, FRIEDSDICHRUHE, Aug. 1.—Em- peror Willlams, who has ordered Pro- fessor Regas, the sculptor, to design a saréophagus for the German sover- eigns, has announced his intention of attending the funeral here, but Count Herbert von Bismarck informed his Majesty that the service would be strictly private and without ceremony. Condolences and wreaths are pouring in by thousands trom all the courts, governments and foremost statesmen of the world. LADY- YARDE-BULLER REACHES EASTON, PA. Remains Quietly in a Hotel Await- ing Letters From Her Friends. NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—An Easton, Pa., special to the Herald says: Lady Lellah Yarde-Buller, who was liberated recently from an insane asylum in Paris, and who upon reaching New York on her way to San Francisco became separated from her friends, has been found in Easton, Pa. The story of the woman's coming eastward Is almost as strange as the tale of her life. She started on a Lehigh Valley train Friday afternoon fron= New York for her summer home in California. She told the conductor that in some manner she had become separated from her guardian and friends who were to have met her at the station. She had no ticket and was without money. Her manner and dress showed her t6 be a person of more than usual intelligence and culture, and the hand- bags she carried with her bore Cunard line labels, showing that she had recent- Iy crossed the ocean. Not knowing who his passenger was, the conduetor brought her to Easton, and she was taken to the Franklin House, where Robert Horn, the gru rietor, agreed to give her aceommo- ations until she might communicate with her friends. as “Hon. Leilah Kirkham,” and dlrectly undernedth the name ‘‘Yarde-Buller,” The signature was written In a large, bold hand. She has been seen very littla about the hotel. She has spent nearly At the hotel she reilstered‘ | | | | | i | | all the time in her room, where her meals | are served, To the few persons who have | met her she has given the impression of being an eccentric character. She has written several letters and mailed them since she came to Easton, but up to to- day she recetved no word from her friends. —_—— FINDS THE TREASURY PRACTICALLY EMPTY San Jose’s Mayor Proposes a Bond Issue to Raise Money for City Government. SAN JOSE, Aug. 1.—Mayor Martin de- livered his annual message at a meeting of the Common Council this afternoon. It opened by stating that the present city officials of San Jose were confronted at the beginning of their terms with what was practically an empty treasury. The preceding iminjstration had left some money in the various funds of the city treasury, but against these funds bills had been contracted, which left the funds that were in the best condition practically without money to their credit, nndtsevers.l of the funds entirely bank- rupt. Mayor Martin récommended the issu- ance of bonds for the purpose of acquir- ing an electric lighting plant for the city. He says he has been investigating the lighting question and finds that the city is at the mercy of the lighting companies. The Electric Improvement Company has the contract at present for lighting the city, and the Mayor says the agreement is all one-sided. The city pays §1510 per month for street lighting, or $10 per light per month. The streets are not lighted on_moonlight nights. The message says this city could light its streets for half the amount now paid. Last year the city paid $20,000 to the Electric Improvement Company for street lights and lighting bulldings. Tt is stated a plant could be erected for $40,000 that -could tur"nisll; i)god&treet lights and {ilumi- nate all city bul e e o % ed to finish _the Somie $13,000 s need. { | 4 | f basement of ‘and furnish ‘the new High | School, and the Councll is asked to con- sider the adyisability of submitting to the eople an issue of bonds for this purpose. %xte&mlon of the city limits is also fa- vored. 3 Pacific Coast Pensions.

Wind-Up—Decision of the Ref- eree Seems to Giv~s Satisfaction. Special Dispatch to The. Call. CONEY ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB, Aug. 1.—A draw was the decision ren- deréd to-night a{ the Greater New York Athletic Club, Coney Island, after Tom- my White of Chicago and Solly Smith of Los Angeles had fought twenty-five rounds to decide the feather weight champtonship of the world. The men met at 122 pounds. Dave Sullivan was at the ringside to challenge the winner and will deposit $1000 to-morrow to bind a match with ‘White. The very best judges of boxers who witnessed the fight all agree that ‘White had won fairly and squarely. Smith was the first to enter the ring with his seconds,Jimmy Rose,Billy Self- ridge, Johnny Connors and Jimmy Al- len. Sam Fitzpatrick held the watch for Smith. Tommy White got through the ropes at 11:20. His handlers were Billy Madden, Gus Ruhlin, Charley Goff and Jack McAuliffe. It was an- nounced that the men would box twen- ty-five rounds and continue sparring until ordered to break away by the ref- eree. The first round was featureless, but in the second Smith swung a hard left that put White's eye in mourning. and in the third jabbed his right to the eye, drawing blood, though he received sev- eral hard body blows in return. In round four, Smith sent a left to the head, followed by a right swing to the head that sent White to the floor. Rounds five, six,seven and eight were full of lively sparring, but not import- ant. In the ninth Solly again started blood from White's damaged eye. In the twelfth round a left on the head brought Smith to his knees. At the end of the thirteenth Smith’s nese | was bleeding freely. Some stiff blows were exchanged in the succeeding rounds, but the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth rounds were tame. In the eighteenth White swung his left to the head and turned Solly around. Seolly replied with a right hook on the kidneys, and in the nine- teenth Solly rushed and got a stiff left in the mouth. When they came up again Solly was full of fight and rushed again, some hot work being done in the mix-up. In round nineteen Solly rushed and ‘White met him with a very stiff left on the mouth. B In round twenty Solly rushed and jabbed a hard left on the face. He rushed again and they clinched without striking. & blow. Solly was full of fight and sent another left to the face and | ‘White met him with a hard right on| the face. White jabbed two lefts on| | the face. Round 21—Solly whipped his left hard on the ribs and missed a right swing on the breakaway. White swung left twice to the head at the end of this| round. Round 22—They rushed to a clinch and Smith brought his right back on the face. The referee warned him not to repeat this. Solly jabbed right to the face and they clinched. Solly swung a hard right to back of the neck. Round 23—Solly rushed and hooked his right to the ribs and drove his right straight over the heart. White swung his right to the jaw and re- peated 1t, sending Solly to the floor on his back. He was up in five seconds and made a wild rush. They clinched and both fell to the floor twice, amid cries of “Foul, foul” White jabbed a left on the face in wild fighting and Smith was all but out.when the bell rang. Round 24—They rushed into clinches twice, and Smith swung a light left on the neck and jabbed his left on the face. Smith fought wildly without doiag any damage. Reund 25—They - shook hands and rushed Into a clinch. Smith rushed and took all kinds of chances.” Smith roughed and both hit in the clinches, which were frequent. Smith swung his right lightly to:the head. White jabbed his left to the nose, drawing the blood again.. A clinch followed and there was a great deal of rough. infighting on both sides until the gong put an end to the fight. The spectators by this time were wild with excitement and were shouting for both men. Referee Brown declared the bout a draw. i b Montreal Is Chosen by the Cyclers.

SEATTLE, Aug. 1.—A horrible trag- edy was enacted. early yesterday morn- ing at the mining town of Roslyn, this State. Andrew Wasgo, a Hungarian, about 85 years of age, in a fit of lnsanel jealousy brutally murdered his wite| and two children, aged 4 and 6 years. He then ended his own existence. | ‘Wasgo sent to his native ecountry for | the girl whom he made his wife about i seven years ago. He had always been extremely jealous of her, and at times he was thought to be insane. On Sun- day -night the husband and wife at- tended a dance, where they quarreled over the attentions offered the wife by a young man named Birley. Wasgo threatened to shoot him, but finally left for home about 1 o’clock, when the do- mestic quarrel was resumed. {When neighbors entered the Wasgo home this morning a horrible scene was presented. On the kitchen = floor the wife lay dead in a pool of blood. She had received two shots in the abdomen and one in the head. In another room on a bed were found the two innocent victims of ‘a -disordered mind. Each little one had been -shot twice. The youngest was still alive, but all that human effort could do did not save her life. The husband lay on the floor, grasping -a 38-caliber revolver in his right hand, with a bullet in his brain. The murdered woman evidently made a desperate fight for her life. She fled from the bedroom to the kitehen, where the furniture was knocked over and blood, hair and clothing lay scattered about the room. - An inquest was held to-day; at which the ‘Coroner's jury rendered a verdict that the deceased had come to their death at the hands of the husband and father through in< sanity and jealousy.
