HOW THE EXPEDITION ADVANCED ON OMDURMAN | LONDON, Sept. 4—The Daily Tele- graph issues a special edition, with the following details of the movements on Wednesday and Thursday, telegraphed from Nasri: ““Thi (Wednesdr-) morning the Anglo-Egyptian troops began the ad- vance in three brigades, side by side, with a front a mile wide, the army giv- ing the impr on of a vast square.

Here the force halted, while the gunboats pro- ceeded. The cavalry and camel corps trotted forward, but only a few scouts were seen under the comn's~d of Abdel Baki, a Dervish- e. ir, wh- fell back rapidly without a contest. In a village we passed were found a number of charred and mutilated bodies of natives suspected of spyin~ and killed by the Dervishes. At 7 o'clock the Maxims fired a few rounds, scattering a body of Dervishes in the bush. Then there was a lull until noon, though the cav- slry and camel corps were several miles in advance.

Herbert George Lyulph Howard, second son of the Earl of Carlisle, who was the war correspordent of the London Times. NEW YORK, Sept. 4—The following dispatch to the Herald from the Lon- don Daily Telegraph was received to- day: “We regret to say that your cor- respondent Howard was killed by a shell at the battle of Omdurman.” s s e EMPEROR WILLIAM SENDS CONGRATULATIONS LONDON, Sept. 5.—The Calrd corre- spondent of the Times says: The first telegram of congratulation to arrive from Europe was from Emperor Wil- llam, who said: “I am sincerely glad to be able to offer my congratulations on the splendid victory at Omdurman, which at last avenges poor Gordon’s death.

NEW YORK, Sept, 4—The story from Havana that General Luis N.

General Wheeler said that Lieutenant Colonel Smart of the medical staff of the army, had come to chemical ex- amp. ¥s, be able to give .an absolutely authoritative deci- | sion as to the purity of the water. Women passing through the camp were displeased by seeing that esme of the tents did not have floors and fancied that the men must sleep on the ground. They were wrong in sup- posing that.- In tents without floors were wooden bunks or thick straw. As for himself, General Wheeler said, he liked the camp better every day and would like to live in it until October 1.

The customs officer who examined General Pando's luggage said that the visitor was well supplied with funds. Chatting with some of the Spanish passengers during the voyage to this city General Pando is said to have told of his recent experience in Mexico. | While at the City of Mexico, according to the story, General Pando was the | guest of the Marquis de Casmera. One | night the general was aroused by the Marquise de Casmera screaming that there were thieves in the hacienda. In the dark corridor General Pando grap- pled with a man whom he found there and was stabbed in the neck before he discovered that the supposed burglar was really the marquis, who had re- turned late from the theater. The wound was slight. Owing to remarks made concerning the occurrence and the reflections made on the character of the marquise by Baron Starke, the iron king of Du- rango, the Marquis de Casmera chal- | lenged him to a duel with pistols. The | men met at Piedra Loma, in the State of Hidalgo, and both were wounded. The Marquis de Casmera was shot in the body and Starke lost one of his | eyes. ~ The Mexican authorities, on | learning of the duel, arrested the prin- | cipals and the seconds, and Pando said | he was anxious to know the outcome | of the prosecution. | The Philadelphia brought a cargo of | 647 bags of sugar and 231 packages of | tobacco and cigars.

In the comfortable chairs and sofas were found many of the Michigan sol- | diers, who, while not sick enough to be sentto the hospitals, still were too weak to move around. In all, 200 of the men were removed directly from the depots to the hospitals. Although many of them were in‘a serious condition, there were no deaths among them to-day. The men are being sent to their homes as fast as transportation can be ar: ranged for them. The men of both regiments did very little complaining, most of what was done being at the medical facilities in Cuba, which they said, were very inef- fectual. The reason assigned for this by many of the volunteers was that the regimental surgeons were taken from their regiments and sent to the gen- eral hospitals. Praise for Camp Wikoff was heard in nearly all directions, most of the men saying their treatment was all that could be desired. little lucky hitting.

The Call Expedition Busily Investi- gating Circumstances That Led to the Latest Stam- pede. Special Dispatch to The Call. JUNEAU, Alaska, Sept. 1 (by steam- ship City of Seattle, via Victo B. C.), Sept. 4).—It has been a longz while since so much gold has been stacked up here as has been jammed in 2 hotel safe for the last three days waiting for transportation south. The hinges of the safe were almost strained. The gold had to be packed in buckskin bags of smaller size in order to allow it to fit into the available space. Not considering the trays in a bank vault, so much gold has never been packed into so small a space before. Most of it came from Dawson. though there were three sacks of fine dust from the new diggings on Lake Atlin. It welghed in all about 500 pounds, and that veight of gold at the offered vrice of $17 per ounce is nearly $900,000, to say nothing of the Alaska Commercial Company’s checks in the wallets of the owners. In ali there is not less than $190,000 going out on this steamer, and there is about half a million more now coming up the river. The tide of travel has turned and it is coming up the river from Dawson instead of going down. The gold carried south from here on this trip is about equally divided be- tween W. H. Schroeder, C. Luchmitt, L. E. Beebe and Pat Lynch. Beebe has about 200 pounds of Eldorado and Four Mile dust. He left some of it in a safe- ty deposit vault here as a nest egg for his return. He is going to San Fran- cisco, thence to San Diego, and will re- turn by way of Ottawa, Ontario, where he will register a kick, he says, on the royalty exacted by the Canadian Gov- ernment. The new diggings, from all reports so far, are holding up as well as ex- pected. The Call's expedition of inves- tigation will arrive out in a few days, when an exhaustive and thoroughly re- lable report, obtained only at consider- able expense, may be expected. The Call is the only newspaper which has taken interest enough to learn the facts in regard to/the latest stampede. Many are coming in from Atlin Lake for provisions, with the intention of re- turnine for the winter. Dawson will have a lively rival this winter on the shores of Atlin. Next summer the ole country will be scoured in that vicinity. The season is now too far ad- vanced for much prospecting this year. HAL HOFFMAN. L E e it NOT EQUALLY DIVIDED. Lucky and Unlucky Passengers of the City of Seattle. VICTORIA, B. C. Sept. 4—Accord- ing to Purser Thorndyke, the steamer City of Seattle, which reached port this evening, had about $200,000 in gold and drafts aboard. This was divided—not very equally, however—between about sixty Dawsonites, who came up the river on the river steamer Ora, whith left the Klondike capital on August 19. Among the rich men who came down were A. Beebe, who is credited with from $60,000 to $100,000; C. L. Dimond, a Seattle and San Francisco shipping man, a former owner of the steamer Farallon, who had $43,000 he got by speculation at Dawson; A. L. Esterley, son of the Auditor of the Treasury at ‘Washhington, who had a big pile in drafts; Dr. L. A. Blanc and Dr. Cham- bers, who had each about $10,000. There were also two w:ll-known newspaper men among the new comers—H. S. ‘White, Reuter’s agent, who is on his way back to London, and A. C. Allen, editor of the ¥londike Nugget. Both newspapermen say that not the slight- est fear is now expressed as to the food question. The Seattle brought news of a se- rious shooting affray at the White Horse, as a result of which the stew- ard of the steamer Ora, James Cowie, is said to be dead, and T. C. Burnett, the purser of the Nora, is on his way to Dawson to be tried for murder. The two men had been enemies for some time, and when the two steamers con- nected at the White Horse they had words and a fight ensued. Burnett's eyes were blackened and several abra- sions were visible on his face when the two were separated. Burning for re- venge, he went to his steamer and se- curing a gun, shot Cowie, who is said to have since died. T. G. Lawrence, who with several other prospectors seturned from Prince William Sound, brought news of rich gold and copper finds on Glacier and Latoche Islands. The Alaska Commer- clal Company are also developing sev- eral rich prospects on Land-Locked Bay and on Bilge Island, where they have found both gold and copper in richly paying quantities. There were also on the Seattle about seventy sadly disappointed miners from the Copper River, who had a terrible tale to tell of privation. They say a large number of deaths have resulted in the stampede out, ten or twelve hav- ing been lost in the wreck of their rafts on the Copper River, and several hav- ing fallen to their deaths in crevasses. There {s not one of the party but talks disparagingly of the country, and ruys it is the greatest fraud ever perpe- trated. TWO PROSPECTORS SLAIN. TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 4—The schooner J. M. Colman, which arrived on the Sound to-day from st.t Michael, news that two prospectors were g;"fi!ll:lslhed and killed while drifting down the Yukon in a boat. Indians fired on the boat, killing one and wounding the other. The wounded man escaped and reached a police camp. Police started and found the Indians enjoying the prospectors’ supplies. They were brought to Dawson, where one of the Indians made a confession. Mr. Frank, who came on the Colman, says that when he left Dawson there was & stampede to Dewey and Samp- son creeks, from which fine reports came. Both are in American territory. RED BLUFF MYSTERY. Leg of a Man Found Floating in the 4 River. RED BLUFF, Sept. 4—The leg of a man was found floating in the river half a mile below town to-day, by two boys in a boat. It was the right leg and had been broken off above the knee. Part of the clothing was still clinging to It, but there was no shoe. om {ts condition the amputation was probably the result of a rallroad or steamer dent, as great force must have been exerted to mangle it as it wes. » SECRETARY ALGER AND MR, SHERMAN Head of War Depart- ment Explains. THE OFFICIALS WORKED WELL BUT HE CANNOT REVEAL STATE SECRETS IN DEFENSE. Statement of the Ex-Secretary of State That War Could Have Been Avoided Is Now Vig- orously Combated. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NEW Y._.tK, Sept. 4—The Herald’s ‘Washington c.rrespondent sends the following: Secretary Alger, after care- fully reading the interview with John Sherman, former Secretary of State, which was printed in the Herald this morning, said to me: “There is nothing for me to reply to. The alleged charges against me ar contained not in anything that M Sherman has said, but in the head- lines. Mr. Sherman has said that as Secretary of War I was responsible for the army administration. That is true and the officials in the War Department did all that was possible coming, as the work did, in such a vast volume. Secretary Alger has already express ed himself as much gratified with the report of General Boynton, which re- port, he said, had shown that the con- ditions at Chickamauga had been much exaggerated. The Secretary was agree- ably aware, moreover, that Governor Black had come back from his tour of investigation satisfied that the condi- tion of the New York regiments had been misrepresented. Secretary Alger said he would not be drawn into any contention with RAIr. Sherman. “‘Our relations are friendly,” said he. “I do not desire to be drawn into any controversies now being agitated.” ‘When asked about the proposition of Miles to parade in New York, Secretary Alger said: “I do not believe General Miles ever had such an intention. The men with him who are free from fever have been ordered mustered out and will be taken on their arrival to their several States to be mustered out.” The Secrgtary said it would be mani- festly improper for him to reveal what happened in the Cabinet, as that would be revealing a state secret, and for this reason he declined to discuss for pub- lication that part of Sherman’s inter- view in which the former Secretary of State stated Le could have negotiated a treaty by which Spain would have peacefully evacuated Cuba. It is this portion of Sherman’s interview received the most attention here, as it charged Congress with having plunged | There | the country into a needless war. has been much discussion of Mr. Sher- man’s statement. A person w.th whom I talked and | who is in a position to know, said that at no time was Mr. Sherman in a posi- tion, as he states, to procure evacuation | with peace:; that the best proposition made to this Government was a ‘“‘di- luted” form of autonomy which was in no wise adequate to the contention of the people; that Mr. Sherman was no more heartily in favor of peace than the rest of the administration, the only difference being that he was for “peace at any price,” as it was expressed to me. The administration realizes now, I was informed, that war could not have been averted, even if the Maine catastrophe had not occurred; that it was among future events that had to be; that leaders in Congress were fully in accord with the administration and knew that the claim of Mr. Sherman was impossible. ment of the fact that the future of Cuba is now a grave problem before the administration; that the question of suffrage ~- basis of the future Gov- ernment has been studiously avoided in the instructions to the commi: This will be the basis of Congressional action, and the form of government and time of turning it over to the Cubans are among the perplexing uncertainties.

Sept. 4—Gov- v f sur- ernor Bradley and his corps o geons and nurses returned to-day with the Kentucky hospital train from Chickamauga. The Governor, after personal inspection of Camp Thomas, not credit many stories of neg- ?eocets of soldlers at Camp Thomas by their officers and says the situation there is much more favorable than he expected to find it. Fifty-three sick soldiers from the Second Kentucky Regiment were brought back on the hospital train. Surgeons in charge of the train were very complimentary in talks concerning Sternberg and Leiter hospitals, and say they think the prev- alence of typhoid fever in camp is due to lack of sewerage and failure to re- move garbage from the camp grounds. faus etk BRINGING BACK OHIO’S INVALID VOLUNTEERS JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 4— The Ohio hospital train arrived here this afternoon.
