Michiganders Wrecked.

SEATTLE Wash, July 23-The steamer
Kalamazoo, built by a party from Michigan
on Lake Bennett, last winter, was wrecked
in Thirty-mle river The wreck was passed
by the party which has arrived here. Only
the upper works of the vessel could be seen
above water. The pilot ran her on rock
and a great hole was torn in her bottom.
The steamer and outfit on board will prove
a total loss. This is the second steamer to
come to grief on Thirty-mile river after
safely running the dangerous white Horse
rapids" The river is full of rocks and a
swift current makes steering very hard The
other wreck was the Iowa, but the most
valuable part of her cargo and machinery
was saved.
KALAMAZOO. Mich, July %. - Twelve
men from this city and from Pawpaw were
aboard the steamer Kalamazoo, which is
reported wrecked on Thirty-mile river. in
the klondike region. When last heard from
the party had shot the White Horse rapids
and expected to reach Dawson City in five
days. The name of the passengers who
were going down the Yukon river on the
wrecked steamer were: William A Doyle,
James Doyle, James K Ayers Arthur Rick
man, Stewart Campbell, Henry Green Dyke.
John Ensing, all of whom have families
here; Harry Denblecker, William Young,
Fred Schied Arthur Pierson, also of this
city, and Fred Longwell, of Pawpaw.

according ID the learned, they are the de-
scendants OF the pet dogs OF the aboriglnes

that the race Of aborigines should have
been so completely wiped out and their pet
dogs should survive. But have been told
that when the Spanish first landed on Sant0

a fever and the dog would come and lick
her face and hands az regular intervals
during the day. When the child died tho
dog lay for long time with its muzzle close
up to the little dead hand and whined pite-
ously when the body was taken away tor

It's moral, social intellectual and political

introduced improvements and facilities in its

where the good time coming and the ways

"All the people who speak English" says
Mr. Norman, ''have one vital and predomi-

own civilization the civilization which they
alone of all nations possess, namely, the
principles of the. rights of the individual

American portion of the people who speak
English determine that these principles
they will.

Lacked Medical Supplies.

WASHINGTON. July 2S-Surgeon Gem
eral Sternberg, of the army, has requested,
through the aGjutant generals Office. that
an investigation be made of the charges
that the transport Seneca, which brought
the sick and wounded from Skaters army
at Santiago to New York, left the former
place with an inadequacy of medical sup
plies and was otherwise unfit for the work
assigned to her. From letters which have
been received by General Sternberg it is
understood that specially unfavorable
weather conditions prevailed and the surf
was running high when the ship was being
loaded with her human freight, though why
a sufficient amount of medical supplies was
not put aboard the vessel is not explained.
There was plenty of quinine and also plenty
of morphine available with the medical
corps but it appears that not enough Of
the latter drug was sent aboard the vessel
for all purposes necessary, and on this ac-
/ count some of the complaints have arisen.
The Seneca was not designed for a hospi-
tai ship, and consequently there may have
been some lack of necessary facilities for
caring for the sick and wounded.
