Martin Flaherty and Ben von Harden of South San Franecisco had an exciting en- counter with a large cinnamon bear in the mountains between San Gregorio and Belmont Saturday, and it it is due to Flaherty's cool-headedness and marksmanship, that the bear, and not Von Harden, is dead. Von Harden first encountered bruin. He was armed only with a shotgun, but he fired a charge of shot into the bear's side. The wounded animal charged ferociously upon the hunter. Von Harden turned and ran, but the bear had almost overtaken him when Flaherty fired from a distance of fifty yards and the bear fell dead. Flaherty's bullet ‘had struck it in the head. The two hunters were exhibitinz the skin yesterday in South San Fran- eisco with much pride. —_—————— RESIDENTS OF LATIN QUARTER ENJOY OUTING Schuetzen Park Crowded With Mem- bers of Campagnia Garibaldina and Their Friends.

She brought over %07 | Passengers all told as follows: One hundred and thirty-five officers and men | of the Eighth Field Battery, seventy-six cakin passengers, one second cabin passenger, thirty- five steerage passengers, three Filipino _ser- vants, clght discharged soldiers from Nagasaki, five workaways from Nagasaki, twenty-one members of the hospital corps, nine casuals, thirty-five insane, 20§ discharged soldiers, 370 convalescents and one time-expired prisoner. Beside these the transport brought over the remains of 103 peopie who died in the Philippines. Of these twenty-seven were killed in action or died from their wounds. Lieutenant Elias J. Hincken of the Forty- fourth Infantry died from the effect of bolo wounds and Miss Helen D. Cochrane, a hospital nurse, died from acute neplri- tis. The remains of both came home on the transport. The day_after the Meade left Manila Frank A. Bradley of Company L, Second Cavalry, died of acute meningitis. On July 19 John Blue of Company K, Third Cavalry, died from dysentery and on July 26, when the transport was almost within sight of home, T. J. Murphy of Company B, Fifteenth Infantry, died from pneu- monia. Two of the bodies brought home on the transport _are unidentified. They are marked “Bodies from graves A and B, Calinog, Panay.” The Meade did not see anything of the transport Lennox on.the way across. The latter vessel left Nagasaki on July 5, and if she took the great circle route has probably run into heavy weather. She should be along any day now. = The Meade did not take the great circle route home on account of the sick passen- gers. Nevertheless she came over in the splendid_steaming time of twenty-one days. Captain Wilson says that at no time did he take his vessel further north than 87 degrees 50 minutes north and that they had fine weather all the way. The temperature was never below 70 until the day before port was reached and in con- sequence the voyage was a very enjoyable one. Heavy Weather Encountered. Last Friday some very heavy weather was encountered and in consequence the Meade was delayed. Had it not been for the storm, the crew assert, the veszel would have been alongside and every- body ashore Saturday night. The cabin pasengers who came home on the Meade were the following named: Captain Willlam L. Kenly, Second Lieuten- ant John W. Kilbreth Jr. and Second Lieuten- ant Harry E.

One morning Flana- gan was found “sleeping off a drunk,” while his partner was tying on the floor, murdered. Flanagan was accused of the #ldlllng and tried before the United States Consular Court. He swore he knew abso- utely nothing about the events of the evening and accused a Chinese and a white man of the murder. The court did not believe his story, and as several wit- nesses testified that they had heard the partners quarreling, Flanagan was con- victed. ‘Was Aguinaldo’s Keeper. Captain J. 8. Mallory was formerly a lieutenant colonel of volunteers, but is now returning to rejoin the Second Infan- try. Up to the time he was ordered home Captain Mallory had Aguinaldo in his charge. Captain Mallory says that the ex-insurgent leader spends all his time in studying and receiving visitors. His wife and family are with him and he appears contented. Some time ago the military authorities gave him permission to go around the town in company with an offi- cer, but Aguinaldo never availed himself of the opportunity. Captain K. J. Hampton also came home. He was quartermaster captain of the Slo- cum when that vessel came here from New York and then went to Manila on the Kintuck. He is now on his way back to Washington. Since he has been away from San Francisco Captain Hampton has become a benedict. Chief Steward Evans of the transport has quite a collection of curios that he picked up in the Orient. A Java sparrow is the pet of the ship. The bird has beau- tiful old gold plumage and can do every- thing but sing. Two or three chameleons have the run of lvans’ stateroom, but can never be found when wanted. A fa- vorite hiding place is a piece of rock, fash- joned into a Japanese stronghold, on which grows a*dwarf pine and two other trees, also dwarfed. An’attempt was made to bring a Fili- pino deer over from Manila on the trans- port. It was intended for one of the ‘Washington parks, hut died on the way. A special house was built for it and yards of canvas and warm rugs were used to keep the animal warm. A veterinary was in attendance night and day, but when a fortnight out the buck died and all that was kept of the carcass was the antlers.
