For many days past the officers in | charge of the general hospital at the Pre- sidio have been making preparations for the reception of the large number of sick and wounded soldiers expected on the transport Sherman. So complete were their arrangements that it required but a half day to dispose of the 537 sick, con- valescent and insane soldiers that were | landed yesterday. | The condition of the men, considering | their long trip and the large number car- | | ried, is of the best. On their arrival at | the Presidio they were mustered lnno“ squads and those In need of immediate at- | | tention were assigned to the various | wards in the hospital. Twenty-five per cent of the men were found to be able to stand garrison life and these were sent to the quarters about the reservation. | Most of the men on the vessel were from | Manila, and are suffering from dysentery, | though many of them had mementoes of | the short but deadly strife in China. The | men who were carried or helped off the | McDowell at the Presidio wharf minus legs and arms and suffering from wounds were soldiers who participated in the fur- ther operations of the Ninth and Four- ! teenth Infantry after the taking of Tien: tein. The march from Tientsin to Peking | was made under the greatest difficulties, the advance being checked many times by | fierce engagements with the *'Chinos.” Major Gibscn, surgeon in charge of the transport service, said yesterday while | superirtending the removal of the men | from the ship: *Notwithstanding rumors | these men are in as good concition as any of ~he men we have yet recelved from the islands or from China. Dysentery makes | terrible ravages upon the strongest of men, and in a short time will reduce a big, strong man to a mere skeleton. With- | in a few days the majorify of these men | will be di: ged, as their condition will | warrant their return to their homes. This | | disposition, of course, applies only to the | volunteers. The regulars will be kept here for treatment or restored to duty, which will be determined by medical ex- amination.” | There were only thirty-four men who were unable to walk to the hospital, and | their condition was not any worse than it was on the day they left Manila. [ Private W. R. Adams of Company E of | the Fourteenth Infantgy sufters from the fatal mistake made by the Russian gun ners, who fired from the rear into the American ranks at the battle of Yangtsun. A shell from the Russian guns burst in the air directly over the head of Private Adams and he was struck by the frag- | ments. The entire side of his face was | carri , disfiguring him in a horri- ble manner. | Jacob Schwoebel of Company M, Four- | | teenth Infantry, is another tim _of the | fire from the alilied forces. The Enghsh | | gunners sent two shells in the pudst of | our_troops, wounding many of the boys | in blue, one of whom was Schwoebel. Fragments of the shell struck him in both legs and in the ieft arm, causing severe | wounds. When seen yestérday at the hos- | pital he said: “A number of our boys owe their | | wounds to the mistakes made by the Eng- | lish and Russian gunners. Many of our | men who had endured the long march and | had escaped unscathed the fire of the | | Chinese and who expected to reach Peking | | witk: their comrades were either killed or | | wounded by this fire.” | “Several of the soldiers | many valuable furs that were picked up on the entry of the Americans into | Peking.

Graham and Peixotto asked Captain Seymour to instruct tae property clerk to hand over the property to Graham, but the captain declined to interfere, as the charter was too specific on the subject. As a last resource they waited on Chief Sullivan. The Chief went with them to the property clerk and instructed him to turn over the proper: to Graham. Gra- ham got the property, giving his receipt for it, along with Fuiler's order. The attention of the Chief was drawn to the fact that he had been guilty of a | violation of the charter, but he said that he would take the responsibility, as the section must be liberally interpreted. He quickly changed his mind, however, and sent Captain Norman to notify Esola not to deliver the property except to Fuller, but Graham had departed with it. The Chief at once disp2tched an officer with instructions to find Graham and make him return with the property.

John Murray Given Three Months for Stealing a Newspaper. John Murray, an upholsterer, was sent to the County Jail for three months by Judge Conlan yesterday on the charge of etty larceny.

John Halloran, who fired a shot at Henry Hetherington at Third and Market streets e over the Boers, appeared before Judge Conlan yesterday on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Hetherington refused to swear to a com- plaint, but the Judge continued the case till Monday. Halloran was released on $500 cash_bail. James Mindham, the lumber clerk, who threatened to kill_his wife and his two stepdaughters at 24 Langdon street with a hatchet, was held in $500 bonds to keep the peace by Judge Cabaniss. Examination by a male physician is a hard trial to a delicately organized woman. She dreads the humiliation of it all. She therefore puts it off as long as she dare, and is only driven to it by fear of cancer, polypus, or some dreadful sickness. . Most frequently such a woman leaves a physician’s office, where she has un- dergone a eritical examination, more or less discouraged. This condition of mind destroys the effect of advice, and she grows worse rather than better. In consulting Mrs. Pinkham, in person or by letter, no hesitation need be felt. The story is told to a woman, and is entirely confidential — to a woman ‘who has listened to thousands of similar stories — and who is so competent to advise women because of vast experience, and because she is a woman. Her advice is absolutely free to all sick women, and her address is Lynn, Mass. Read Miss Farrell's account of how she was sick, and was lead to health by Mrs. Pinkham. She is only one of thousands whom Mrs. Pinkham has cured this year. Female Weakness Relieved by Mrs. Pinicham. *“T take pleasure in writing you a few lines thanking you for your advice.
