ST. JOHNS, N. T., Aug. 7.—Captain Major of the steamer Virginia Lake, from Labrador, which arrived to-day, expressed the belief that some ship certainly has been sunk in the Straits of Belle Isle. Reports to that effect, he says, are current along the whole northern coast of the island, beside which a quantity of deals, cheese-boxes and other wreckage have drifted ashore at Flowers Cove, near the scene of Captain Major is surprised that more wrecks are not reported, because the fog in that region has ‘been the heaviest known in thirty years, continuing fourteen days, during which time not a sight of the ashore at Battls harbor, and on Tuesday last two other liners were in great danger off Chateau. The steamer Ipsden is a total wreck at Point Amour owing to the same cause.

TROOPS ANXIOUS TO LEAVE FOR SANTIAGO Several Regiments at Savannah Awaiting Transports Do Not Fear the Fever. SAVA H, Ga., Aug. 7.—The Third and Fifth Regiments of United States Volunteers arrived here to-day and are in camp awaiting transports to take them to Santiago. The Third Regiment T e, but Seventeen arrived tb morning from Macon, and the Fifth to-night from Columbus, Miss. The transport Rio Grande arrived to- day and is loading the baggage of the Fifth Regiment, two battalions of which will go on board to-morrow and will sail at noon. The Leona is expected in the morn- ing. The Minnewaska is delayed through an accident to her machinery, and is not expected before Tuesday. She will carry the Third Regiment, commanded by Colonel Ray. All the officers and men are anxious to get away. There is a lack of en- thusiasm among them, and the appeals that have been made to the War De- partment to save them from Santiago, the men of both regiments say, are without authority and misrepresent them by discrediting their valor. SR SECRETARY ALGER PAYS A VISIT TO FORT MYER Finds the Sick From the Camp Bear- ing His Name Are Getting Ex- cellent Attention. WASHINGTON, Aug. T7.—Secretary Alger visited Fort Myer this afternoon with a view of ascertaining personally whether everything possible was be- ing done for the soldiers of Camp Al- ger, who are in the hospital at the fort. He found the sick men as comfortable as could be expected under the circum- stances. BEach one has a good bed, which is kept clean and fresh, and all are receiving excellent medical atten- tion and nursing. At present there are about 735 men in the hospital. Some of them are very seriously ill and a few are not ex- pected to recover. Thus far the fatalities among the troops at Camp Alger have numbered thirty-nine. This is not considered a great loss in an army of nearly 30,000 men, during the three months the men have been in the service. Go ol Taking the Sick to Fort McPherson. FERNANDINA, Fla., Aug.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7—A Washington special to the Herald says: Secretary Alger has decided to have the bodies of all the men who died or were killed | at Santiago brought to this country. | He has cabled to Santiago giving or- ders to that effect. This will be done as soon as the heated term is past. It may be that in order to avoid risks the bodies of men who died of fever will not be brought up for some months, but there will be no delay in other | cases. In the meantime. Secretary Al- ger has given orders that the tempo- rary headboards now marking the graves be replaced by more permanent ones, so t identification may be complete. When the bodies of the sol- diers arrive here they will either be turned over to relatives or interred in the national cemeteries. QUESTIONS FOR THE COMMISSION TO DECIDE! LONDON, Aug. 8.—The Madrid cor- respondent of the Daily Mall, tele- graphing Sunday, says: The answer of | the Spanish Government declares (hati Spain cannot discuss the American pro- | posals, but only accepts them because they are imposed on her by force. Only a few unessential changes in the Amer- fcan demands were asked for, and it is now expected that President McKinley will refuse them. A commission composed of Spaniards | and Americans will decide the question | of the Cuban debt, the dates, and an- other of evacuating Cuba and Porto Rico, and the protection of Spaniards and Spanish interests in these places. The commissioners will also decide whether Spain is to be allowed to with- draw her artillery and the remainder of her arms and ammunition from the colonies, while the question of the fu- ture of the Philippines will be settled by the same body. The treaty will be signed subject to the approval of the Cortes, which will be convoked imme- diately. The Cabinet Council to-night will appoint Spanish commissioners to meet the Americans to arrange for the tu;}ure of the Phiippines and other de- tails. il o DEATHS FROM FEVER AMONG SHAFTER'S MEN WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. — General Shafter’s daily report to the War De- partment of the health of his command at Santiago, as recelved by Adjutant al Corbin to-night is as follows: SANTIAGO, Aug. 7.—Adjutant General of the Army, Washington: Sanitary report for August 6—Total sick, 3651; total fever cases, 2238; total number of new cases of 431; total number fever cases re- turned to duty, 447.

SHAFTER, Major General. MKINLEY’S REPLY GAVE NO COMFORT LONDON, Aug. 7.—The Madrid cor- respondent of the Times, telegraphing Sunday, says To-day all the best authorities agree that the Government has decided to accept the American conditions. The American reply to Spai request for explanation reached Madrid Friday evening. The text has not been given out, but it is known that it_brought little consolation. President McKinley turned a deaf ear to the si ~gestion that Porto Rico might be left to Spain and compensation got- ten elsewhere. Regarding the Philippines the reply was not altogether satisfactory, but it was of such a nsture that there was no longer any necessity for postponing a decision on the main question. . IN NO HURRY TO ASSEMBLE THE CORTES PARIS, Aug. 7.—The Madrid corres- pondent of the Temps says: The Cab- inet Council this morning discussed the question of assembling the Cortes, but no decision was reached, as the Minis- ters desire to ascertain if the United States considers the approval of Par- llament necessary to the deflnitive signing of peace. TO THE PHILIPPINES BY WAY OF SUEZ Expected Destination of the Chaffee Light Artillery of Colo- rado. DENVER, Aug. 7.—Hundreds of people visited the camp of the Chaffee Light Artillery, officially known as Battery A, Colorado Volunteer Light Artillery, at Fort Logan to-day, to say good-by to the men who will leave for ¥ort Han- cock, N. I., in a few days. The battery consists of 109 men and H. G. Parks is captain. Its final destination is unknown, but the men are expected to go to the Philippines via the Suez canal. & BEACHCOMBING AT ST. MICHAEL Privations of Fortune Hunters. WAITING FOR RIVER BOATS CURSINGTHE TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES. Putting in the Long Days Sleeping and Figating Mosquitoes—Women Who Are Cheerful Even in Their Misery. ST. MICHAEL ISLAND, Alaska, July 22.—For a month or two at least this| place bids fair to rival San Francisco | in the amount of shipping in the har- | 4 bor. Every day a craft of some kind is added to the fleet already here, and | t of more to follow. | each brings news The loss of so many river boats which were being towed up has caused much inconvenience to passengers bound for Dawson and intermediate points. Pos- sibly a stronger term would be more | applicable, as many persons have ar- rived here who have paid out about all the money they had for their trans portation, and now find that the river | boat which their ocean v 1 was to connect with has foundered, and to an extent they are stranded on very in-| hospitable shores. In many cases the | companies who booked them in San Francisco or Seattle did so at a figure 80 low that it Is impossible to get other river steamers (of which there are plenty) to take them off their hunds,l unless either the passengers themselves or those that brought them will sustain the difference in price charged from here. Some who bought tickets only to St. Michael on vessels that have missed their connections rather congratulate them- selves. as they now can take their choice | from the river fleet. The captain of some | of the ocean vessels have had serious thought of changing their busine: and | returning to a life of seclusion. They | find that coming to St. Michael is too | much of a strain on their nerve In several cases passengers have abso- lutely refused to leave the vesseis that brought them until they were assured of a way of getting up the river. In this they are sustained by ‘the military com- mander here, who refuses to permit shipé | ing companies to forcibly put people | ashore without providing a way for tnem | to leave the island. | There are vessels here which have been holding large numbers of passengers for | two weeks or over, and the deadlock still continues. The steamer Dirigo was the last to fall into distress, as her passen- gers were booked for the James Kva, | which was lost while in tow of the Na- tional City. The steamer Humbbldt, whose river connections were the Gamecock and Stag- hound, which vessels were lost while be- ing towed out of Portland by the Elihu Thompson—arrived with a large number | of passengers booked at ‘‘cut rates” and | had about the usual trouble in getting | rid of them. The tactful captain, how- ever, by coaxing some, cajoling others, ana by perhaps using strong language to still others, such as threatening to. take them back to San Francisco minus bag- gage, which had all been placed on a barge, managed,a few minutes before thel steamer started to get the last one off. Some spread their tents on the shore and resigned themselves to wait for the arri- val of the river boat that had been sub- stituted by the charterer of the Humboldt to take them to the end of thelr voyage others, of whom several were ladies, found shelter on the barge on which the freight and baggage of the Humboldt had been discharged. Here trunks and boxes were utilized as beds and those that had covering managed between mosquito bites to forget themselves occasionally in sleep. | T went on the barge yesterday and sa the huddied-up mass of humanity. Un-| comfortable they were, but not one was discouraged. Every heart beat high with hope. Each and all are certain of return- ing after a brief sojourn.in the frozen land with at least a competence, if not a large fortune. A gently nurtured lady, whose former occupation had been school teaching, showed me where she had passed the night before. A large, flat-topped trunk formed the bed and her waterproof cloak the covering. She assured me with great earnestness at she did not mind it in the least. ou know,” she explained, “I came to rough it, and. I should be dis- appointed were I not to find the opportun- ity of doing so. Then, after all, it is not so very bad. It is always day time; you lie in one position until tired, then get up and walk about, and then try a new one.” All this time the rain falls continuously, and at intervals the wind comes with such force that vessels cannot discharge cargo. The sun at this time sets about 10 p. m. and rises again at 2:30 a. m., and one can read the finest print in the in- terval. Of the waliting multitude here who have no particular occupation aside from berating the transportation compa- nies, probably as many sleep during the day as in the night. Indeed, it is only b{' consulting a watch that we know when nighf comes, as we seldom see the sun.

WASHINGTON, Aug. T7.—Secretary Long to-day requested the publication of the following correspondence: UNITED STATES FLAGSHIP NEW YORK (first rate), GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA, July 27, 189S—My Dear Mr. Secre- tary: I am led to write at this time on account of the publication of'an article which appeared in the papers of the 19th instant in which Commodore Schley is made to say that he had stated to the writer that he had over and over again | declared it was possible to enter the har- bor of Santiago, notwithstanding the mines. Commodore Schley called upon me and voluntarily stated that the publi- cation of the article was false in every particular; that he not only never stated anything of the kind, but that he had never thought of it; that he had always entirely agreed with me on this ques- tion, and that he did not know a single officer whose opinion differed from mine. As 1 have reason to belleve that Commo- dore Schley has been misrepresented, I have taken the liberty to address to you a telegram upon this subject this morn- 1 and as ?am about to sall for the East I trust that it will receive your a tention_at an early date. Very respect- fully, W. T. SAMPSON, Rear Admiral, United States Navy, Commander-in-Chief North Atlantic Station. § The Secretary of the Navy, on. The telegram referred to is as fol- lows: PLAYA DEL ESTE, (via Hayt), July 27, 1:32 a. m.—Secretary Navy, Washington: I call the department’s attention to an Associated Press dispatch in the New York Times and Herald of the 19th at- tributing to Commoddore Schley certain opinions regarding mines. I request that the manager of the Assoclated Press be called upon to name the source and au- v tement. thority for this statemen! SAMPSON. On receipt of this telegram the de- ‘Washing- partment wrote the following letter to the Associated Press: NAVY_ DEPARTMENT, Washington, D. C., July 28.—Sir: The New York Times and Herald of the 19th in: pub- | lished an Associated Press dis h in which certain opinions regarding mines are attributed to Commodore Schley. This dispatch is written in such a manner as to convey the impression that it was re- celved from your representative with the squadron off Santiago, and consequently had been censored by proper naval au- thority. I therefore have to request that vou inform this department at your ear- liest convenience the authority for the dispatch, to which reference is made. Very respectfully. JOHN D, LONG, Secretary. Mr. C. A. Boyn‘on, General Southern Manager fhe Assoclated Press, Washing- on. as follows: WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—Hon. John D. Long, Secretary of the Navy—Sir: Your favor of July 28 is at hand concerning ar- ticles published in the New York Times and the New York Herald of the 15th inst., in which certain opinfons in regard to mines are attributed to Commodore Schley. This letter was not written by either of our representatives with squadron off Santiago, but by another gentleman who was temporarily on one of your dispatch boats. The dispatch was not subject to censorship. Our Mr. Graham, who has been constantly with Commodore Schley since his squadron as- sembled at Hampton Roads, and is prob- ably more familiar with his views than any newspaper man at Santiago, takes issue with the gentleman who wrote the letter referred to, and s that Commo- dore Schley was always in complete ac- question of entering the harbor. e quotes Commodore Schley a8 saying: “Admiral Sampson and I have always agreed that it would be foolish to enter the harbor with the mines in place, and the condition of the mines proved that Admiral Sampson was correct.”” Very respectfully, = CHARLES A. BOYNTON. of smoke blinding her eves, I could not help remarking that I thought there was much pleasure of the same kind in store for her. g ‘At one of the camps whero a river steamer is being constructed a number of men were unloading a cargo of mer- chandise. Many of the sacks were in a iamaged condition, but a deft-handed woman was sitting in the rain mending and patching as fast as they were un- oaded. 1 approached her ~with some idation, as 1 saw_that her hand, un- al places from_ punctures from k needle; but she smiled cheer- 1d expressed regret that she could not offer me a sedt. When I inquired if she did not find coming to Alaska a lit- fle bit harder than she had anticipated she replied emphatically: “Not in the least. I knew it would be very unpleas- ant, and 1 am prepared for almost any emérgency that may arise. 1 have not unpacked my baggage yet, so as to get out my short dresses, and with these long &kirts, where there is so much grass, you find me looking draggled and Uncomfortable, but with suitable attire I shall be quite at ease, and I expect to be bie to get about easily and go any place ihat a man can go.

Of the lucky men with whom I talked, not one had ever been in the mines over three years, and manyv not nearly so long. All were going out for a change, and for supplies, intending to return either in the fall or early in the spring. They state that many of the best mines will not be worked this winter on account of the 10 per cent royalty exacted by the Gov- ernment; that Dawson will be dull for business’ men in consequence, and that men who go in to work for wages will in Tany cases meet with disappointment. For the prospector the field is a vast one, and if he have the energy and physical Strength to endure the strain that will be but upon him_there is no doubt but what the chances for accumulating a compe- tence far outnumber those elsewhere. ‘A gentleman named Hall from Hum- boldt County_ told me that his business 2 had been contracting and that :mr‘x‘gs had gone so badly Wfi%l ;151::1 fl;fi: he could not make enough to horses and keep his family. He therefore gold out and went to Dawson seventeen months ago. In less than a month after his arrival he struck the claim he_now owns, and for which he has been offered $50,000, which offer he did not entertain for a moment, as the development he has made shows it to have far greater value. Over at Fort Get There the hotel of the North American Company isdoing a rush- ing business, but the manager is not without his troubles.

Some of these .L(-r\'od exclusively_for ladies. These are humerous in St. Michael just now, and about rising and retiring time the rooms are a sc‘eng of activity. As there is but one wash basin it is not strange that tlie manager Is frequently called upon to re- store peace. The postoffice is a source of much dis- satisfaction to the thousands of people who are in and about St. Michael. A steamer belonging to the company that | has the contract from the Government to carry mail for the summer arrived the other day with eleven tons on _board. There are but two clerks to handle this eénormous mass, and to stand in line four or five hours and then have the window shut in your face, as the bell announces the lunch hour, is a daily occurrence. No mail is delivered except to the owner in erson, and outside companies here who fove Trom forty to one hundred men In their employ, all anxious to hear from their homes, find it a very serious loss to them to permit each man to spend from half to a whole day off to obtain his mail. Everv steamer coming in brings from ten to fifteen sacks of mail, and the condi- tions were bad enough before this ava- lanche of refular malil arrived. When the war closes it is to be hoped that Uncle Sam will turn some of his attention to this portion of his possessfons. ELMA McNAUGHT.
