TOO WEAK TO WALK,
BUT NOT COMPLAINING

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 4.-Members
Of the Thirty third and Thirty fourth
Michigan Volunteers, who arrived last
night, were quartered in the leading
hotels and to-day in the Hobbies and
corridors were to be seen great piles of
guns, canteens, equipments, Blankets
and other paraphernalia of the soldiers.
In the comfortable chairs and sofas
were found many of the Michigan SOL
diers, who, while not sick enough to be
semitic the hospitals, still were too weak
to move around. In all, 200 of the men
were removed directly from the depots
to the hospitals. Although many of
them were in serious condition, there
were no deaths among them to-day
The men are being sent to their homes
as fast as transportation can be arr
ranged for them.
The men Of both regiments did very
little complaining. most Of what was
done being at the medical facilities in
Cuba, which they said, were very inef-
fectual. The reason assigned for this
by many of the volunteers was that the
regmental surgeons were taken from
their regiments and sent to the gen.
eral hospitals.
Praise for Camp Wil1off was heard
in nearly all directions, most of the
men saying their treatment was all
that could be desired.

since so much gold has been stacked up

to be packed in buckskin bags OF
smaller size in order to allow 1t to lit

Not considering the trays in bank
vault, so much gold has never been
packed into so small a space before.
Most of it came from Dawson. though
there were three sacks Of fine dust from
the new diggingS on Lake Attn. 1t
weighed in all about 500 pounds. and
that weight of gold at the offered price
of SIT per ounce is nearly $900,0O0. to say
nothing of the Alaska Commercial
Company'S checks in the wallets or the
owners.
In ali there is not less than $4,000
going out on this steamer, and there is
about half a million more now coming
up the river. The tide of travel has
turned and it is coming UP the river
from Dawson instead of going down.
The gold carried south from here. on
this trip is about equally divided be-

Many are coming in from ,Atlin Lake

Among the chief incidents of the bat

The Egyptian cavalry were in close

it was brilliantly retaken.
The heroic bravery of the Dervishes
evoked universal admiration. Time

Special Dispatch to The Call.


NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The story
from Havana that General Luis N.
Pando, former commander of the Span
lsh troops at Manzanillo, had secretly
fled from Cuba on the French steam
ship NotTe Dame du Salut for Spain,
with 100000 francs, was proved to be
unfounded to-day when the Ward liner
Philadelphia came to her dock on the
East River front General Pando was
the first to land of the forty-two pas
sengers who arrived from Havana on
the vessel. He was plainly dressed
and wore nothing to indicate his high
rank i'll the Spanish army. He looks
more like a Frenchman than a Span
lard, being short and stout and wear
ing a thick black beard. He claims to
speak no English, and after arranging
for the removal of his five pieces of
baggage drove to a hotel, where he en-
gagged a suite of rooms.
The customs officer who examined
General Pando's luggage said that the
visitor was well supplied with funds.
Chatting with some of the Spanish
passengers during the voyage to this
city General Pando is said to have told
of his recent experience in Mexico.
While at the City of Mexico, according
to the story, General Pando was the
guest of the Marquis de Casmera. One
night the general was aroused by the
Marquise de Casmera screaming that
there We're thieves in the hacienda. In
the dark corridor General Pando Crap
pied with a man whom he found there
and was stabbed in the neck before he
discovered that the supposed burglar
was really the marquis, who had re-
turned late from the theater. The
wound was slight.
Owing to remarks made concerning
the occurrence and the reflections made
on the character of the marquise by
Baron Starke, the iron king of Du
range, the Marquis de Casmera chal
lenged him to a duel with pistols. The
men met at Piedra Iona, in the State
of Hidalgo, and both were wounded.
The Marquis de Casmera was shot in
the body and Starke lost one of his
eyes The Mexican authorities, on
learning Of the duel, arrested the prin
cipals and the seconds, and Pando said
he was anxious to know the outcome
of the prosecution.
The Philadelphia brought cargo of
CAT bags of sugar and 231 packages of
tobacco and cigars. The latter are con-
signed to firms in Boston, Chicago, San
Francisco Canada, England, Hamburg,
Bremen, Florida and this city.

KENTUCKY'S GOVERNOR
PRAISES CAMP THOMAS

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 4.-Gov-
ernor Bradley and his corps OF sur
geons and nurses returned to-day with
the Kentucky hospital train from
Cbicka1nauga. The Governor, after
narsonal inspection of Camp Thomas,
does not credit many stories of neg
Iect of soldiers at Camp Thomas by
their officers and says the SITUATION
exnected to find it. Fifty three sick
soIdiers from the Second Kentucky
Regiment were brought back on the
bosDital train. Surgeons in charge Of
tbe train were very complimentary in
talks concerning Sternberg and Letter
hospitals, and say they think the prev
alence of typhoid fever in camp is due
to lack of sewerage and failure to re-
move garbage from the camp grounds.
