THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1898. DEATH LURKS IN CAMP AT THE ISLANDS Honolulu Re -echoes With Dirges. SUFFERING AMONG SOLDIERS INADEQUATE FACILITIES FOR CARING FOR THE SICK.

HONOLULU, sion of { day yesterday zona brought back from the Orient. He did everything in his power to make them comfortable, and helped them to regain_health. His attentions to Wil- liam Conlan, a private of the Four- teenth Infantry, who died on the trip, were most assiduous and commanded the admiration of all on board. Conlan was a San Francisco boy, only about 18 years old. His father is In Manila now.in the.Third Artillery. President Dole is of the opinion that it will be necessary for him to make & trip to Washington, probably in Jan- uary of next year. This will be after the report of the Hawalian Commis- ston has been received by the President and Congress. It was the request of Mr. Cullom, chairman of the Commis- sion, that President Dole, as a member, be in attendance at Washington during part of the time at least that prospec- tive legislation was before the com- mittees of the Senate or House or both. General King has been confined to his room most of the time since Friday with a severe vaccination wound on his left arm. The incision has taken on a serious aspect, there being a possibility of blood poisoning. President Dole, with the consent of the Cabimet, has decided to appoint Gardner K. Wilder Judge of the Third and Fourth fudicial circuits, to succeed the lage Judge E. G. Hitchcock. SUDDEN DEATH OF A PIONEER AT SELMA After Four Trips to Alaska Frank Dusy Succumbs to Election Excitement. SELMA, Nov. 10.—Frank Dusy dled at | his home here last night of heart failure, aged 61 years. He was on the streets all interested 12 the election returns, and was in his usual health last daily with bugle dirge and lum- bering ssion of quartermaster’s Wagorn ugh the stree so far| from ing the indifference which the customary funeral does, engenders | more and more of concern in the pubp: lic mind. T! is manifested in v i ous ways. It is a frequent topic of | conversation The Boa of Health | and the newspapers are deluged with | inquiries and suggestions regarding it. | A report that thirteen graves have been ordered dug in anticipation of deaths expected at the military hos- pital, though not true, gained ready credence. The military hospital is crowded. Strict regulations in regard to visitors have to be enforced in order to save the time and strength of the hospital force, which is too small for the demands. There are not enough nurses. The| nursing force does its best, but with | the number of patients it is unable to | give each the attention he ought to| bave. - { Three deaths ensued October 30.

Mr. Dusy arrived from Alaska only about two weeks ago. He went to Cooks Inlet in 1895, where he secured valuable mining property. The next season he chartered a schooner and took out a pack train and a party of prospectors from this section. He has made four trips to Alaska | statement which {s fully borne out by | matters as the military expeditions to and has taken out three schooner loads of miners and investors. He expected to| return to Cooks Inlet in the spring. | Mr. Dusy's life has been an eventful | one, ana his name is familiar to the pio- | neers of this section of the State. He came to California in 1853 and engaged in | mining in_Tuolumne County. Later he | came to Fresno County and located at | Fort Millerton before Fresno City was | thought of. For twenty years he was one of the biggest sheep owners in the valley, | and held large tracts of land which are now the garden places of the irrigated | ction. During thte Mussel Slough trouble Frank Dusy was active, and the Mussel Slough sufferers, wherever scat- | tered, still remember him vividly. He owned some of the best property in this| section at one time and bullt one of the | somest residences in the county ears ago on his ranch near Selma. Dusy married in 1572 at Stockton i , sister-in-law of J. W. uson, ju: cted Assessor. Five| children survive him. Funeral services will be held here to-morrow_under the auspices of the Masonic, Odd Fellow and A. O. U. W. orders. The remains will be interred at Mountain View Cemetery, Fresno, where his wife was interred six years ago. aj | ikl et U NIV NEGROES SLAN N STREETS 0F ~ HILMINGTON Continued from First Page. Following is a list of the dead and wounded: .l J. 1. ETHERIDGE, white, killed at | poHs. | THOMAS TOLE SERT, white, mortally | wounded at the same time. | WADE HAMPTON McKINNEY, JAMES WILLIAMS, DRAYTON WATTS, LUM JACKSON, ail colored, killed yesterday. i ESSEX HARRISON, colored, BEN COLLINS, colored, killed to- day. Wounded: Sidney Tolbert, 15 years old, dangerously wounded; John R. Tolbert, white, collector of the port at | Charleston and chairman of the Re-| publican State Executive Committee, wounded; Stuart Miller, white, mor- tally wounded in heas C. Fleming, white, shot in shoulder; M. J. Younger, shot in foot; Cleave Armstrong, who | tried to protect the negroes, shot in the neck. In addition to these, two and likely four negroes are reported to be dead in the woods near where the five bodies lay to-day. The trouble was precipitated on elac- tion day, when two or three hundred pegroes at the polls opened a fusillade at the store in which the voting was | going on. In this fight Etheridge was | killed and Tolbert wounded. i The second occasion for provocation | was that a party hunting the slayers | of Etheridge was fired into and one, | Miller, fatally wounded, and Fleming badly hurt. | The arming of the negroes at the polls, the killing of Etheridge, the fir-| ing from ambush, all conspired to kin- | dle a flame of passion and when that will die down is difficult to tell. Jesse| ‘Willlams and two others are sald to have confessed to taking part in the| ambuscade. | The incident of the day was the kill- | ing of Essex Harrison. Down the roai! came a squad of mounted cavalrymen, with Harrison marching ahead with guns and rifles drawn on him. Fifteen | men lined up on the roadside. The | negro was put out in the road and told to go toward the pile of four dead ne- groes. He started, there was a ring | of rifles and Harrison pitched forward, dead. Harrison, it is alleged, was a member of the crowd that killed Ethe- | ridge. .l Partles were out searching all day for the negroes who, it was said. are ring- | leaders in the rioting. The whites are | particularly incensed against all the | Tolberts, and hold them responsible for | the trouble. A party went to kill Tom | Tolbert, but some one prevailed on| them not to kill a wounded and d,vlng; man. CHARLESTON, S.

SUMMER CAMPAIGN IN CUBA HOW THE FALL OF SANTIAGO WAS BROUGHT ABOUT. The Capture of Porto Rico and the Conquest of the Philip- pine Islands Re- counted. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—The revort of M.jor General Miles, commanding the United States army, was made pub- lic to-day by direction of Secretary Al- ger. Th keynote of the report is found in “ne of the opening sentences, where it is said: “The military oper- ations during the year have been ex- traordinary, unusual and extensive.” a the long recital of important events which General Miles shows have made the military history of the year 1898 the most remarkable since th: end of the Civil War. In point of interest the document di- vides naturally into four chapters, for while brief allusion is made to such Alaska, interest naturally centers in the portion which treats of the war with Spain. Under this general head the report deals with the plans of campaign, of the war preparations, with the Santi- ago campaign, with General Miles’ op- erations in Porto Rico, and lastly with important changes in the existing or- ganization, which are in General Miles’ opinion necessary to make the army an | effective weapon for the defense of the country. Treating of the war General Miles be- gins with a statement of the unpre- | paredness of the country, showing how | the vast equipment left by the million sipated or had become obsolete until the tentage, transportation and camp equipage was insufficient for any im- portant military ation. He re-| counts the legislation of Congress ju prior to the war, looking to the increas of the army, and cites his own recom- mendation on April 9, that 40,000 men that the regular army be in- | creased and 10,000 immunes recruited, making a force of 162 men, which, with 50,000 native auxiliaries, he con- sidered sufficient. Such a force proper- ly equipped he believed to be better than a large force partly equipped. In the letter containing this recommenda- tion he said: *“I also recommend that at least twenty-two regiments of in- fantry, five regiments of cavairy and light artillery be mobilized and placed in one large camp where they can be carefully * and thoroughly inspected, fully equipped, drilled, disciplined and instructed in brigades and divisions and prepared for war service.” He further asks “for 50,000 volunteers | to make up an army of 150,000 soldiers | for offensive operations in Cuba, the whole force to be fully equipped, leav- | ing the State troops to defend the| coasts and for a reserve.” General Miles said in his report that | in the beginning the war problem was | purely a naval one, and he was con- | vinced that should our navy prove su- | perior the position of the Spanish army in Cuba would be rendered untenable with a minimum loss of life and treas- | ure to the United States. Orders are referred to for the send- | ing of the regulars to New Orleans, Tampa and Mobile to begin the inv. ion of Cuba; for the gathering of troops at Chickamauga and for the movement of 70,000 troops on Cuba, “‘but none of these movements on Cuba material- | he says. ‘“The want of proper equipment and ammunition rendered the movement impracticable.” At this point there is a brief digres- sion where, in a paragraph, General Miles refers to General Merritt’s Phil- | ippine expedition, as organized and equipped and conducted, as being suc- | cessful in every way.” General Miles then pays an eloquent tribute to the brilliant exploits of Lieu- | tenants Rowan and Whitney, who se- cretly explored Cuba and Porto Rico | and ascertained the military situations. | He resumes the report with an ac-| count of the dispatch of General Shaf- ter's expedition, saying: “I desire to wit this command.” He alsn“ “This expedition has been de- layed through no fault of any one con- nected with it. It contains the prin- | cipal part of the army, which for in- | telligence and efficiency is not excelled by any body of troops on earth.” After detailing the operations before Santiago General Miles describes the negodiations with General Toral for the surrender and the capitulation of the Spanish forces. General Miles closes his report with some earnest recommendations for the improvement of the milits service. He trusts the experience of the last few months will be valuable to the people and to the Government. The value of coast defenses, he says. has been proven and. the system should be completed without delay. He favors the adoption of a stand- ard of strength for the army to meet the country's growth, and suggests that it be one soldier to_every. I ulation, Vielding a force of 63755, He also rasom: mends the authorization of an auxiliary force of native troops in Cuba, Porto Rico_and the Philippines, to be officered by United States officers, and not exceed- ing two soldiers for 1000 population of the islands, and all these increases, he urges, should be made at once. rve, Pacific Coast Pensions.

Captain Abercrombie of the Govern- ment Surveyors Tells of Con- ditions and Strikes in Alaska. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Nov. 10.—A report comes from Dawson that the Canadian Gov- ernment has seized two steamers and two barges of the Yukon River fleet of the Boston and Alaska Transportation Company for breach of contract. The company, it is claimed, contracted to deliver the -overnment goods in July, but did not fulfill the contract until September. Captain Blakeley of one of the barges is supposed to be in jail at Dawson, charged with broachizz the cargo. He is accused of making away with a quantity of whisky belonging to Donohoe & Co. The steam schooner Excelsior arrived here to-day from Copper River, Alaska, with about 200 passengers, among whom was Captain W. R. Abercrom- bie, U. 8. A,, and his party of Govern- ment surveyors, including F. C. Schra- der, geologist; Emil Marlow, topo- graphist, and nine enlisted men. The Abercrombie party claim to have cut a trail from Valdes to Copper River, which does away with the dangerous trip over the glacler and shortens th?ddlstance sixty miles. Abercrombie said: “Of the 23000 that went into the Cop- per River countrv from nine to eieven hundred will winter there. Those who came back either lost their outfits or were grubstaked tenderfeet who simply sat around camp and searched but lit- tle if at all for gold.

CONGRESS REPUBLICAN IN BOTH BRANCHES Chairman Babcock Finds Gracifying Results After Canvassing the Returns. NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—A Washington special to the Herald says: ~ Chairman Babeock of the Republican Congressional Committee has received authentic infor- mation from every Congressiopal District in the country except two, and makes positive announcement that the Republi- cans have elected 185 members, the Demo- crats 163 and the Populists 7. The doubt- ful Districts are the Seventh Callrornia and Twelfth Texas. Two districts in Ne- braska which Mr. Babcock claimed yes- terday he has conceded to the Populists, to whom he has also conceded the ' uird Kansas District. He concedes the Seven- | teenth, Nineteenth and Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania districts to_the Democrats, but claims the Eleventh IMinois, one dis- trict in Kentucky, one in Minnesota and Babcock stated that New York districts, which have been given to the Democrats, might yet be added to the Republican column. *“I think,” he said, “it is highly possible that the soldier vote will give us these two districts.” Mr. Babcock told me that the next United States Senate will stand fifty-three Republicans to thirty-seven flppngi!?fln, his party having elected Legislatures in Cali- fornia, Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and In- diana, causing the Populists to lose two Senators and the Democrats six. LOST IN A STORM ON LAKE MICHIGAN The Schooner S. Thal Goes Down ‘With the Captain and Crew of Three Men. CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—Water logged and unfit to weather a storm upon the Lakes, the S. Thal, a tramp two-masted schoon- er, foundered off Glencoe, in the gale of ‘Wednesday night, and went to pleces in the surf. Thig morning the wreckage was cast upon the beach, but no trace of the crew has been found and it is thought that all went down after cutting loose from the wreck in the ship’s dory. The schooner is a total wreck. There are scarcely two timbers left together to in- dicate her dimensions. That she founder- ed and went to pieces on the sand bars some distance out in the lake is evidenced by the wreckage which covers the shore from Ravinia to Wilmette, a distance of nearly seven miles. The hull has disap- peared and is supposed to be resting on the bars just in shore from where the schooner was seen to drop anchor shortly before the storm broke Wednesday after- noon. On board the schooner were Captain J. Schultman and a crew of three men. TO EMBARK FOR CUBA General Wade's Urgent Request That the Troops Be Forwarded at Once.

General Wade has made an urg- uest that the troops be at Nuevi- Puerto Principe by November 15, as those two gaims are to be evacuated on November 22. and he wishes the United States troops to be well established be- fore the evacuation.

EUFALA, I T, Nov. 10.—It is known here that there has been fighting at Okmulgee, the capital of the Creek Na- tion, where the council met Tuesday. For forty-eight hours rumors of trouble have been drifting from Okmul- gee, which is forty miles off the rail- way and without telephone or tele- graph service. It is known, however, | that the full-bloods have made an at- tack on the treaty leaders at Okmulgee and that at least one man has been killed and seven or eight wounded. All the Indian police at Agent Wilson’s dis- | posal have been ordered to Okmulgee and soldiers will follow. The white peo- ple feel able to take care of themselves. The only fear Is for the half-breeds, who voted for the treaty. CHECOTAH, I T, Nov. 10.—The Creek returns are all in and show that the treaty has carried. Twelve hundred full-bloods stayed away from the polls. The council is in session at Okmulgee. The full-blood chief threatens to kill the people who voted for the treaty.

REEVES BECOMES A BRIGADIER GENERAL Army Men Believe, However, That Colonel Smith Was More En- titled to Promotion. BY SOL N. SHERIDAN. MANILA, Sept. 20.—There has been so far little of the religious element in- troduced by the Americans into the war in the Philippines. It is true that we have found here a somewhat com- plicated religious situation. I believe firmly nothing like it has been seepn in modern times, the priests of both the edging the same head, being even more bitter against each other than the lay- men of their respective followings. It is lkewise true that gome of the less reputable of the Spanish priests have been suspected, with what justification I have been as yet unable to ascertain, of striving to stir up the natives against the Americans. The Arch- bishop of Manila at all events has been no party to these alleged plots. That prelate, a man of more than ordinary talent and of most commanding pres- ence, has personally assured me of his belief that the only hope of the church here lies in the stability of the govern- ment, and that the only hope of sta- bility lies in permanent American oc- cupation. The clergy, all that is good in it, share his views as a matter of course. In view of the existence of this spirit it is most unfortunate that there should have occurred an incident which is most properly characterized in the following open letter from the Paulist Father Doherty to Major Gen- eral Otis: Special Correspondence of The Call. MANILA, Sept. 21.—There is another brigadier eral in this army. Really, vou know, if this kind of thing is to go on there will be more brigadier gen- erals than there are regiments to be commanded. They have already gone beyond the number of brigades, and still Colonel Smith of the First Cali- fornia, the one man whose gallant ser- vice in the field should entitle him to he has so richly deserved. the new man to step up, and it puzzles us all down here to grasp the system used in playing the political military game at Washington. A scheme that gives the most to the men who de- serve the least, and gives nothing at all to the most deserving is, we own, too deep for us. There is not a regu- | lar army man here, not a naval man acquainted with all the facts, not a newspaper man on the ground compe- tent to judge of conditions but will tell MANTLA, Sept. 28, 1538. Maj. Gen. E. S. Otis, Military Governor Philippine_Islands—Dear Sir: On the 2ist fficer of the commissary depart- | Getail, entered the College of St. C erine, Manfla, and, with the ostensib purpose of verifying the commissary sup- plies within, the party intruded them- sclves upon the reserved precincts of the convent cloister, and even into_the cells or sleeping rooms of the nuns. These acts Were accompanied by demands to open the doors in the lattice between church | and cloister, a door which is never | opened, except to admit the passage of the blessed sacrament to the sick or dying. The nuns protested as best they | could against this needless humiliation, but after the threats of the officer to blow or burst it open, the door was, to no pur- earned his promotion on the 3lst of July, and earned it over again when he led the men of his regiment down the Calle Real through Hermita and Ma- late on the 13th of August, the first to reach the gates of the walled city and to pass thence down into the Es- colta and Malacanan.

They are not forgotten, for their works follow them, and it is evident that (hel mantles of these worthies have fallen naturally upon the shoulders of the afore- | said offenders of the present day, to whom neither womanly reserve nor re- ligious consecration seem to be sacred. There are duties which, though painful, are necessary, and. when performed at the hands of a gentleman, acting under proper authority, and observing due for-| mality, are acknowledged by the weaker party with due submission. But when unnecessary and officious interference is imposed upon a refined, reverent and Jeaceful people, and Is accompanied by Lrusqueness of manner and brutality of method, it is high time for some one to protest, and this I do as an American cit- izen, in the name of a people not given to Warring upon women nor upon Teligion, fn the name of thousands of Catholics here on this expedition, soldiers, faithful to their duty and obedlent to your com- mands. . T trust that an investigation will be fol- Jowed by such an example as will allay the apprehensions of the injured ones, and that some officers may be brought to realize that their position not alone gives that it is probably good politics to ad- vance them. Colonel Reeves of Min- nesota is a good fellow, as good fellows go, but they who were on the right with McArthur when Manila fell tell strange tales of how the Astor Bat- tery’s support failed, and how the Americans woyld have been repulsed there, despite the splendid success of the Coloradansand Californians and the Twenty-third and Eighteenth regulars before Malate if it had not been for the gallantry of the Astor Battery boys are army officers who tell these tales, men whose word is their bond. The Minnesota Regiment, Colonel Reeves commanding, was in the first line of the support of the Astor Battery. Ons company of the Minnesota Regiment, or, rather, forty-six men of one com- pany, headed by their captain, wers found, two hours after the white flag was flown from the citadel, crouched down up to their necks in the water covering a paddy field.

B R e R e ne CITY FRONT. Only a few years ago city as well as out-of-town buyers avolded the city front when making purchases. Things have changed and are changing all the time, good buildings are going up, not only on Market street, but on other streets near the water front. Some of the best restaurants in town are on Market, within two blocks of the bay, and the best general store on the Pacific Coast is almost at the foot of Market street. All car lines center there. A single fare from any part of the city reaches it. Crowds find this remarkable place every day. No wonder, when the prices are considered.
