Boise, Ida, Aug. 27.-As predicted in
these dispatches last night. the Demo-
Gratis today shut the Populists out and
formed combination with the silver
Republicans. The ultimatum issued to
the Populists, requiring them to settle
their disputes by o'clock this morn
ing, proved to have been only a bluff.
The Democrats practically took it all
back and opened negotiations for a
general silver union.
Late this afternoon, however, an
other ultImatum was issued. When
the time was up the Populists were as
badly divided as ever, and the Demo-
cratic conference committee was in
structed to confer with the silver Re
publicans exclusively. This cleared the
atmosphere, and at this hour the con-
ference committees are engaged in an
effort to equitably divide the offices be-
tween the two parties. 1t is expected
that all the nominations will have been
made before midnight. The middle-of-
the-road Populists announce they will
put up full independent ticket.
The indications are that the fusion
Populists, though left out, will endorse

New York, Aug. 27.-There are four
soldiers in St. Johns hospital at Long
Island City suffering from dysentery
and exhaustion. They were picked up
about the Long Island railroad depot
early this morning. Three came from
Camp Wikoff and the fourth from
Camp Black. Joseph D. Clarity of the
| Twenty-frst infantry was unconscious
when found. He was on his way to
/ his home in SaXOnville, Mass, but
when he reached here he was too weak
to walk. The other men from Camp
| Wikoff were PrivateS John Craig and
Alexander Burlington of Tennessee
regiment. Charles Ogg of company A,
Twenty first regiment, now at Camp
| Black, was on his way to his home in
Jersey City. All four men were said
| to be in a serious condition today The
doctors think Clarity may die.
| Camp Wikoff, Aug. 27.-The Seventy
| first New York volunteers did not
break camp as had been expected. 1t
will leave Montauk Monday morning,
| according to the present arrangement,
The reason for postponing the depar-
| ture of the troops was to give many
of the men who are now on the sick list
a chance to brace up, so that they may
go with the regiment. 1t is question
as to whether the men will march up
! Broadway after they arrive in New
York. If the men are not in good
shape they will be taken to their ar
mory by the shortest route possible.
When the transport Yucatan reached
| the pier today and began to discharge
the six companies of the Seventh
United States infantry, which she
had brought from Santiago, it was
learned that seven men had died on
the passage, and three more died last
I
awaiting her turn to unload her hui
man cargo.
NO FOOD FOR SICK.
The Yucatan had 200 sick men on
board. 1t is alleged that the ship left
Santiago without a sufficient quantity
of proper food or supplies for the sick,
and that she reached here without any
food but army rations. which the sack
troopers were unable to eat. When
General Wheeler heard of this state Of
affairs, he at once sent on board some
proper food supplies. The sick men
are still on board the vessel waiting
until there is room for them in the
hospitals.
The Second Massachusetts left be-
hind seven officers and 200 sick men
in the hospitals. Altogether $50 men
departed.
AS the men marched to the dock. 100
men dropped out of line, but were aided
by their comrades, and were thus able
to continue until the boat was reached.
The rough riders will leave camp in
about ten days. 1t is reported that
they will be mustered out in New
York after their arrival, either in
Madison square or Plaza square
The hospital report at Camp Wikoff
today was as follows: Cases in the
general hospital, 1,12O, of which lbs are
typhoid; cases in the detention hos
pital, 400; diphtheria in the detention
hospital. 4; in the general hospital, 1.

the committee contends, is a necessary
antecedent to moral reform.
The letter names particularly the
archbishop of Mayla and the bishops of
Nueva, Sagovia and Nueva Caseres.
whose acts of hostility against both
natives and Americans, and against
the Jesuits and other respected reli-
gious institutions are condemned by
every one. The committee urges Presi-
dent Mckinley to laid the Filipinos to
suppress the immortality of the diaboli-
cal institutions fostered by these
monks, Wand the letter concludes as
follows:
Your name can never be associated
with that of the friars, and the sense of
right of the noble nation at whose head
you are placed will never permit the
ever victorious and humanitarian Stars
and Stripes to protect hem"
