Of course, everybody had read all the news by that time—and, anyway, the boys of the First Regiment were all agog at an order from headquarters to move to thgy front to-morrow morning. Colonel Duboce, with the First Battal- fon, was sent out to the front on last Thursday, thus having the honor to be the very head of the American advance guard.

C., Aug. 17. — The steamer Danube arrived this afternoon from St. Michael with 100 passengers and a considerable amount of gold dust. A party of Norwegians s said to have $200,000. The purser of the Danube says he estimates the amount of gold brought down on the steamer at half a million. The drafts, he thought, would reach $300,000. A large number of passengers had small sacks and wallets ranging from $1000 to $5000. Passengers from the lower Yukon say a large number of men are going | up the Kyoku River to Tramway Creek | and other diggings at the head of that It river. They are taking out gold there, but not in very large quantities. At Minook all who have properties are working energetically and looking for- ward to good results. The steamér Gover—-- Stoneman is lying on her side on a sandbar near the mouth of the river and cannot be float- | ed without considerable labor and ex- pense. The steamers Progreso and Laurada were at St. Michaels when the Danube left, preparing' to come down. The steamer Roanoke from Seattle ar- rived just as the Danube sailed. The steamer Tees arrived to-day from | Skaguay, Alaska. Her p: engers con- firm the news of the rich strike on Pine Creek in the Lake Tagish district.

SMITH LOST HIS REGIMENT Funny Incident Before Manila. FALSE ALARM AT NIGHT CALIFORNIANS SENT OUT TO REPEL ATTACK. Their Commander Returning From a Solitary Reconnoissance Finds His Entire Force Missing From Camp. Special Correspondence of The Call €AMP DEWEY, with the Second Brigade before Manila, July 21.—There | are now nearly 5000 men in camp under General Greene, a force strong enough to hold its position in the con- tingency of a Spanish sortie. And speaking of Spanish sorties reminds me of a rather funny occurrence night be- fore last, which for a time looked as though it might have a grimly tragic side. You will have heard something This is the story: There were two battalions of the First California in camp, and the en- tire First Colorado, the California boys lying closer to the Spanisk lines and about two miles away. The Colorado men had not been here as long as the Californians, and their officers did not understand the situation so well. Col- onel Smith, for example, knows what the Spanish and the Tagalles are in the habit of shooting back and forth across, their respective lines every morning and evening, not, apparently, so much for its purpose of killing each other as to convince each that the other is at attention in the trenches. These sKir- mishes, as a rule, mean so little that the Americans down here have ceased to pause when commencing to count the shots, and, although a Spaniard or a Filipino is shot and killed occasionally, that seems rather in the nature of acci- dent. To return to my tale, The officers of the Colorado regiment, being tender- feet, were not case-hardened to this fir- ing and, being ambitious, threw a line of outposts toward the Spanish posts well beyond the California pickets. Matters were moving with the usual routine in camp on Wednesday even- Colonel Smith, watch- ful as usual, had been out to see how the Spanish line looked at night with a view to handling his men with greater effectiveness after dark. This is a country wherein men do not fight daytime, nature doing all the ry heating while the sun is at an, and, as the boys say, the col- onel was never slow in getting ‘“‘next.” The boys In the shelter tent dozed peacefully, and the officers about head- quarters gossiped of the relative merits the Springfield and the of | Mauser rifles as a dealer of death. The cruiser Boston, sent over by < Admiral Dewey to cover the landing of Ameri- can troops, lay under the trees lining the beach, covering Manila with the threat of her guns. The American camp, Camp Dewey, it should be re- marked in passing, is well within the range of the Spanish guns. It is not shelled for the very good reason that Augusti understands perfectly that one shell thrown among the troops will bring upon Manila swift destruction from the fleet. To return once more and finally to my story. The camp dozed peacefully. The big guns of the Spanish and | Aguinaldo’s old smooth-bores at Pasay growled sullenly across the trenches, the growling broken, now and again, by the sharp snap of the Mauser, like the quick barking of terriers. Sud- denly into the peaceful scene was in- jected an element of disturbance. A man in a blue uniform, panting like a tired dog, rushed down the Calle Real (King's road) from Pasay, tried to rush the California sentry, and being halted could gasp only the one word, ‘Dis- patches!” Then he caught his breath and told how the Spaniards had made a sortie, driven the insurgents from their works and were coming down the road at a double to attack the Ameri- can camp. Then the dispatch bearer ran on to the Colorado camp. There was the wildest commotion at once. The whole peaceful aspect was changed. In fact the only really peace- ful place was at the trenches, where Colonel Smith was calmly watching the firing on both sides, thinking how much better his boys would do if given a chance. A few insurgents had run back past him, panic stricken for a moment, but had quickly advanced again. He was at the one place where nothing was happening. s In camp Lieutenant Colonel Duboce turried out the regiment quickly, tak- ing a strong position on a line from the Calle Real to the beach. Colonel Hale of the First Colorado turned out his men with equal promptness, his left resting on the California troops and his right extended in the trees lining the cross road from the Calle Real to Pasay. It was magnificent, though dark, but it was practice drill rather than war. General Greene, having his headquarters at that time on board the China, was sent for hastily and came ashore with his staff. Colonel Smith, returning from the front in a caramat- ta, rode peacefully into camp and found his regiment missing. That is not as small a matter as it seems at first glance. A thousand Americans is a pretty large quantity in this land of mangoes and small men. The colonel found his boys presently, agreed to the disposition of them which had been made and waited in the darkness for the coming of the Spaniards he had not seen at the front. The Spaniards that they waited for never came. And that is the true story of the first battle be- fore Manila. Late this afternoon the Insurgents captured five Spanish spies at the out- posts of Pasay. They had passes rolled up In cigarettes. They were taken to Bacoor and will be shot in the morn- Tog. SOL N.

CAPE TOWN,_Aug. 17.—A collision is reported to have occurred at Matjesfon- tein between a goods train and a pas- | senger train, In which thirty persons were killed. After the collision the cars of the passenger train caught fire and twelve natives were roasted alive. Twenty-five natives and five Europeans were killed.

Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1888, by James Gor- don Bennett. BY SOL N. SHERIDAN., CAMP DEWEY, Aug. 4 (via Hong- kong, Aug. 17).—I spent last night with the troops in the outworks, in a piti- less tropical rain. I found that there has been firing nightly. A man was killed in the breastworks on Mon- day and another by a shell from Malate Tuesday night. The Span- iards since Tuesday have made no attempt to break through the American lines. The dogs feeding on the dead on Wednesday were prob- ably eating the bodies of the Spanish slain in Sunday’s battle. Traces of these horrid feasts were found by the American troops on the fleld yester- day. The men are highly excited over Sun- day’s events. The troops have per- mitted their ardor for battle to out- run discretion and have been firing. especlally Tuesday night, shadows. the Second Battalion of the First Cali- fornia, Major Sime commanding. and a battalion of the Third Artillery, Major O’Hara commanding. Both are cool officers and had orders not to fire a shot until the Spaniards were coming over the earthworks. Throughout the night I heard only two shots from Mausers, sharpshooters spotting our pickets’ right flank through loopholes. I saw moving shadows in the moonlight and dogs straying about the battle- field, but not a sign of Spaniards. Not a shot was fired from the American lines, consequently the Malate guns were silent. Captain Richter succumbed to his wounds to-day. August 6.—The Spaniards renewed the attack on the American outworks last night. The trenches were occupied by a battalion each of the Fourteenth | and Twenty-third regulars and the Ne- braska volunteers. | the extreme right, and the company of the Spanish fire, and hot firing lasted a half-hour. The American casualties were chiefly from shells. The killed | were: Privates McCann, Company C, Four- | teenth Infantry. S. F. Howell, Company D, Fourteenth Infantry. C. Saur, Company F, Infantry. They are: Privates Lucius Snow, Company E, chest; Claus F. Company D, Fourteenth, leg; Head, Company G, abdomen. During a heavy artillery duel this forencon the Utah artillery replied with spirited fire to the Spanish guns, finally landing a shell near Pulverin. Spanish ceased immediately. Corps has been promoted to sergeant by General Greene for distinguished | gallantry on the field. During the heavy | artillery fire last night the telegraph line in the trenches was damaged. Do- | zier repaired it under fire with great | sangfroid, enabling communication to | be maintained with headquarters at a critical moment. August 9.—Three deserters from the Spanish army, brought in from trenches by the First Colorado, report twenty Spaniards killed, including a captain and two lieutenants, and six- teen wounded in the engagement on July 31. Six were killed and ten wound- ed on August 2. An officer was killed and six men wounded on August 5. An English merchant refugee informs me that shells from the Utah battery entered the walled city on July 31 exploded in the Malate magazine, kill- ing three officers, another exploded in an Englishman’s residence near the English Club, another entered the in- in the mfdst of a company, killing an officer and several men. He says no reliable statement of the Spanish losses are obtainable, but they were heavy. Deserters report the Spanish position before Malate, Santa Ana and Paco greatly strengthened, additional guns having been mounted. August 10—To-day Father William D. jans, walked along the beach from the camp into Manila. About from Malate he was fired on by a Span- ish picket, but was uninjured. The priest walked bravely forward and was met by two captains and escorted to the Malate fortress. Father McKin- Nozaledas at the palace, where he was received cordjally. The Archbishop stated he always had been anxious for a restoration of peace, and would do all in his power to secure a cessation of hostilities. He did not think Manila would be surrendered without a fight. The Spaniards in the city are starving, nevertheless. They expect Jaudemes to make a last desperate effort. The Archbishop denied most emphat- jcally the authorship of the circular as- cribed to him, exhorting the Spaniards to resist Yankee invaders with their last drop of blood. As a man of God, he said, he could not have given utter- ance to such sentiments. He always had been an apostle of peace. He bade Father McKinnon a cordial adieu, placed a carriage at his disposal for the The priest received a cordial welcome, but the Governor's conversation was less peaceable than the Archbishop’s. Manila, Jaudemes said, would not be given up without a struggle. He had received General Merritt's and Admiral Dewey's notification that the city would be bombarded and the Spanish flag still flew. If the Americans wanted the city they must capture it. After this interview Father McKin- non was driven in a carriage along the Luneta and escorted across the lines by Spanish officers. is courageocus act, after having been fired on during a previous attempt, the bullet cutting his clothes, was one of the most re- markable of modern warfare. Private Edward A. O'Neill of Com- pany H, First California, was acci- dentally killed to-day by Private John Lunsford of the same company. The Astor Battery Is anxious to get to the front before the surrender of Ma- nila, having now plenty of ammunition fit for service. Private BEdwin L. Young of Astoria, Company A, First Oregon; Private Hol- brook, Company C, First Oregon, and Leslie B. Paden, Company E, Minne- sota, died of typhoid fever. L L RO AL Rain Stops the Racing.

Prosecutor Far- | ley was summoned and an investigation followed. Several of the girls were called in. At first they denied the truth of the story, but finally broke | | down under Farley’'s questions and told all. | So far as known the crimes charged | were committed between July 20 and | August 9. The men arrested are Thomas Peters, aged 67, an engineer; Charles | Byer, a shingle mill employe, and Sam- | | ugl Holloway, a colored barber, each over 50 years of age.
