THE PUNISHMENT OF JAMS.
An Onicer Says the Soldier Swallowed
Tobacco TO Make Himself sick.


NASHUA. n. H., Aug. 5.-The Erening
telegram today prints letter from Cap
tain Alfred z. Hunt, commander of Bat
terry at Homestead, in reply to recent
editorial in the paper charging that the
punishment of Private 1ams was unjusti-
fiabiy brutal. Captain Hunt says Private
Ianls was not tortured in his punishment
by Colonel Streator. as suspension by the
thumbs did not throw the whole weight of
his body on those members. After five
minutes suspension he asked fo- q
chew of tobacco in the same arro-
CANT, insolent manner which charac-
tered his entire conduct in
camp and also all through his service On
guard. He purposely swallowed the to-
bacco TO make himself sick, according to
his own self-confessed statement. After
ward he was let down from the ridgepole,
after twenty minutes suspension, suffer
ing from nausea occasioned by having
swallowed the tobacco. During the entire
evening and night after this punishment
the man treated the matter iocularly and
made no complaints of having suffered.
Captain Hunt further saws that the state
ment Of Iams that the exclamation was a
thoughless one is wrong, for when earn
estly requested to withdraw the exclama-
ton he doggedly and persistentiy refused
TO do it.

SOUTH BEND, Wash, Aug. Especial. i
badly decom posed body was found
yesterday morning on Snag island, where
the bodies of drowned men of the vicinity
seem to love 10 congregate, four having
been found there within g year. Word was
sent to Coroner Mower, who on arrival
saw the serious nature of the case.
and sent for the county attorney.
The examination developed the fact
that the corpse was that of a man, but il
was so thoroughly decomposed that it was
unrecosniZable, the face being gone and
the flesh on the legs and part OF the trunk
being gone. A few coarse hairs were still
clinging to the scalp. When found the
corpse had on vest of fine material, two
pairs of drawers and pair of pants, also
OF good material, WOODEN socks on
his feet. ana a pair of new shoes.
A Chinaman working for W. B. Clark,
of Bay Centre, identified him as one of his
race from the nature Of his clothing and
the fact that the dead man had on two pairs
OF drawers, the wearing of the extra pair
being. according to him. a universal Gus
tom among the Chinese. Nothing was
found in the clothes but watch key and
the stub of pencil.
The skull showed deep cash. evidently
made with an Ak, extending clear across
the top of the head; the lower jaw was
badly mashed, while on the breast was a
dagger's thrust. The feet were bound to-
gether with rope and wire. and TO them
attached a plate OF iron taken from a fire.

facts and the remains decentiy inferred.

CUTTING OCEAN RATES.


Another Samue1s steamer Arrives, but
May Be the Last.
Pogr TOWNSEND, Aug. Especial. +
The British steamer Mascotte, Captain
James Ross, nineteen days from Yoko-
hama. arrived in port today. The vessel
is capable Of carrying s. SOD tons Of freight,
bat came across with less than $50.
Captain Ross said to PosT-IyTELLrGEycER
correspondent that the freight rates from
Japan 70 this Coast were suddenly reduced
by the mail lines of steamships from ] =
cents TO IL cents per pound. This re-
Guction was made when il was apparent
that Samuel Samueis 81 Co. contemplated
succeeding UPTON in establishing ar. ORR
entail line to Puget sound, British Column
bia and Columbia river points in connec-
tion with the Union Pacific. The vessels
chartered by Samuels had engaged cargo
for this Coast az IL cents, and when the
cut in rates WAS made many Of the ex-
porters declined TO ship their cargo on
other than the regular mail steamers.
Captain Ross further stated that it was
exceedly doubtful if any other vessels OF
the Sainue.s line would come TO this
Coast at present. The Northern Pacific
steamers appear TO have corrailed
the Puget sound business in the Orient.
The MascoIte has 40 tons of cargo for
Victoria. 1880 for Portland and 30 bags
OF rice so- Seattle. She has also seventy
six Japanese passengers for Victoria and
sixteen for Portland. She will endeavor
TO engage return cargo of lumber for
Japan and then secure cargo of the new
rice crop for New York.
The Palmas, the first of this line of
steamers 10 arrive on the Sound, is in the
market at Victoria trying TO engage
salmon cargo for England.
The Mascotte sailed from Sunderland,
England, last August for New York.
thence 10 Japan, back TO New York,
thence to the River Platte, to Iquique, to
Plymouth, England. to Hamburg. to Sun
deland, TO Savona. Italy. to Batoum.
Russia, to Japan and thence 10 this port.
The Mascotte left for Victoria today and
after discharging 4 portion of the cargo
will proceed to Portland.
The British steamer Deya Wongswe. one
OF the Northern Pacific line of steamers,
was TO have sailed from Yokohama four
days after the Mascotte for Tacoma.
