ANOTHER HORROR SHIP.
Surgeon Protests Against Overcrowdins
on the OLDHAM.

Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 4.-Surgeon-
Major Seaman, of the transport OLDHAM,
declares that there will be a repetition
of the awful horrors that have charac-
terized the voyage home of the other
transports if more sick soldiers are sent
on board the vessel for transportation
to New York. He says that when the
OLDHAM left Porto Rico many on board
were sick, yet the first quartermaster
refused to furnish wine for theii use,
but supplied them with bareback and
canned food, saying that he had no
authority to furnish wine. Surgeon
Seaman said he would hold him re-
sponsible should any deaths occur, and
finally succeeded in obtaining suitable
food for those who we're i'll. He asserts
that the ship has every man that she
can carry, and that if she reaches New
York without any deaths occurring, she
will be lucky
Hearing that a number OF other sick
soldiers were to be sent aboard her, the
surgeon-major made protest. and
stated that he was informed by General
Lawton that his protest showed lack Of
discipline, and that an officer had been
appointed to see how many additional
men the OLDHAM could carry. Surgeon
Seaman SAYS he will cable to Surgeon.
General Sternberg a protest, disclaim-
ing responsibility for whatever may
happen.
Mayor McCleary, of Santiago, is en-
deavoring to compel the merchants to
sell necessaries of life at reasonable
rates.

TORNADO AND FLOOD.
Coasts Of Georgia and south Carolina
swept-Property Loss Heavy.


Savannah, Ga, Oct. 4.-For 10
hours, from 3 o'clock this morning
until G O'Clock tonight, Savannah has
been in the grasp OF West Indian tor
nado. During the day the wind blew
steadily from so to 20 miles an hour.
While the city escaped with compar.
atively little damage, the loss of prop
erty among the sea islands of the Geor-
gia and South Carolina coasts is be-
leved to be heavy.
For miles in every direction around
Savannah the towns along the rivers
are submerged. Only one fatality has
so far been repofted-tne drowning of
a negro while attempting TO reach the
land from a small island near Thunder
bold-but heavy loss of life is feared
on the South Carolina sea islands,
where such fearful loss of life occurred
during the great tidal wave Of 1898.
The conditions now are similar to those
during that storm. Owing to the SUBJ
merged country and the isolated Local
ton of the islands, no news can be had
from them until the water subsidies.

water was eight feet above the highest

over banks, and dams, carrying away
the remnant of the rice crop that was
left by the August storm, and had not
been gathered, and wiping out farm

CHAMPIONS THEIR CAUSE
Miles Takes the Part Of the
Volunteers. ~
DISEASE THEIR WORST ENEMY
Their Own Fault-A Gross Insult to
100000 Brave Men.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-The Daily News
Washington special says that General
Miles, at the reception given at his
house last night to his comrades of tho
Medal of Honor Legion, denounced as
false the claim that volunteer officers
and soldiers we're themselves RESPONSE.
BILE for the sickness in the camps.
The volunteer troops of the United
States in the war with SPAIN" said
he, "were as brave and as patriotic a
body of soldiers as ever took the field
in any campaign the world has ever
seen. The battles they fought were
won as CALAMITY as any recorded in
history. And yet the peril which our
soldiers had most cause to dread was
not bullets but disease. which swept
over our camps and destroyed hundreds
where bullets killed one. Our SOL
diers entered into the fever-stricken
camps as they went up the hill in the
face of the enemy-with courage
and devotion that must open to them
the glorious pages of history.
"Those who say that these men
sickened and died because they wished
to; those who blame the soldiers and
officers of our army for disease and
death that devastated the camps and
thinned the ranks; those who assert
that our soldiers suffered through their
own fault. insult $50, 600 Of the brav-
est men that ever carried arms beneath
the sun.
"These men did not suffer and die
because they liked it, and whoever
says they did insults our army and the
men who offered it. 1t is an affront to
reason. have nothing to say of the
blame for the death of those brave
men,"

ARMY OF OCCUPATION.
First Division to Garrison Cuba Has
Been Formed.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The public
order forming the First division for the
occupation of Cuba does not designate
the major-general who will command
it, but states that the division will be
temporarily commanded by the senior
officer on duty until permanent divi-
sion commander is chosen by the presi.
dent. The division is of three brig.
AIDES, as follows:
Cavalry brigade, composed Of the
Seventh and Eighth United States cav
airy, to be commanded by Brigadier-
General L. H. Carpenter, United
States volunteers.
The First infantry brigade, composed
of the Fifteenth United States infantry
and the Fourth United States volun-
teer infantry, to be commanded by
igadier-General Simon Snyder.
United States volunteers.
Second infantry brigade, composed
of the First United States infantry and
the Sixth United States volunteer in
fantry, to be commanded by Brigadier-
General B. E. Willston, United States
volunteers.
These troops. with the exception OF
the Fifteenth infantry, are under or
ders to 90 to Huntsville. Ala, and the
Fifteenth will probably be expected
there soon. 1t has been generally sup
posed that the division would be COM
manded by General Wade, who is now
in Cuba as chairman of the military
commission.
The following is the order as issued
today:
"Adjutant-General's Office, WASH
ington, Oct. by direction of the
secretary of war, the Fourth United
States volunteer infantry detachment
from the Seventh army corps will be
placed in readiness for immediate serv-
ice in Cuba, pursuant to general orders

disposition.

Commerce building. Portland, oregon.l
There have been of late some an
nouncements tending to direct anew
attention to the very large wheat sup
plies, fact which was being supplant-
Ell by the small stocks and the good
shipping demand The official estimate
on the French crop was one of these,
yield of S69. 900. 600 bushels, compared
with PAS, 900, 900 bushels in 1897, and
the largest since 1874. Beerhbohm's
figure on the worlds crop, 2,640, 000.-
900 bushels, was another in the same
line, the highest figure ever made in
the worlds wheat production. They
together suggested that perhaps a new
set of wheat influences might come to
play for while, turning the market
from bull to bear one. The Rus
sian news has been an inspiration to
holders of late, but the trade always
considers it very largely guess work,
and the great wheat people at Liver
pool, who should know most about it,
because their interests are so much at
stake, take issue with the claimants of
Russian shortage. Famine in one Sec
ton of Russia does not necessarily
mean shortage in that country gener-
ally. With the lack of transportation
facilities, crop failure IN one province
might result in great distress, although
Russia as whole might have great
surplus. The final Russian wheat ship
ment the year of the great famine and
OF the prohibtive edict demonstrated
this.
Outside wheat speculation so far has
not increased appreciably. Sentiment
has, however, changed to the extent
that another dip in prices would prob
ably broaden the market. AT the out
set of the crop the incessant talk of a
great yield here and abroad in connec-
ton with the Letter failure created an
intensely bearish feeling. Outsiders
were as confident of very low prices as
the professionals. The conduct of the
market during the first three months of
the crop year has modified this view.
The best of the talent, who talked 55
cents go days ago, would be glad now
to get long wheat at around 60 cents.

A REIGN OF TERROR.
Pana Looks for Another Bloody Battle
Between Strikers and Deputies,

Between Strikers and Deputies,
Pana, H., Oct. Blast night was
a terrorizing one for the people of Pana.
Two-thirds OF the residences were unoc-
cupied. Each house occupied contained
groups OF families. In some cases, all
the residents of an entire block spent
the dark hours in one home, armed,
terrorized and awaiting attacks expect
ed to be made on their homes by the
negroes imported from Alabama.
All night the striking union miners,
reinforced by brother miners from other
towns, armed with shotguns and rifles,
paraded the streets or lay in ambush
on housetops and in alleys awaiting
the coming of blacks from the SPRING
side and Penwell stockades, who had
announced their intention to march
into the city and drive out the whites.
But the deputy sheriffs were successful
in keeping the negroes within the
stockades.
Many shots were fired in the vicinity
of the mines throughout the night, but
with what result could not be ascer-
tanned.
Many visiting miners, heavily
armed, arrived today.

MILLION DOLLAR FIRE.
Serious Blow to the Town of Colorado
Springs-Eight BIocks Burned.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Oct. A.
This city had visitation of fire this
afternoon which threatened for four
hours to destroy the entire business
district. The wind was blowing at the
rate of As miles an hour from the
southwest when the fire started at the
Denver & Rio Grande freight depot, at
the foot of Cuchsris street, at 2:l0 p.
NJ, and the flames spread with great
rapidly. A strip four blocks long
from north to south, and two blocks
wide from east TO west, has been burned
over, but at this hour the conhagration
is believed to be under control. The
flames are still lesping high over the
burnt district, but the wind has died
down, and there is no doubt that the
fire engines. which have come from
Denver and Pueblo in response to ap-
peals for aid. will be able to confine
the flames within the present limits.
The Antlers hotel, one of the largest
in the West, three lumber yards and
two blocks of business houses have been
destroyed. In round humble the loss
is estimated at $1,000, 900. and insur-
ance at one-half of that amount.

Hawaii Casts the Die.
She Throws Aside Neutrality
aud Permits the q. s. Cruz
ser Charleston to Coal
There.

Washington, June 2-The naval
officials now calculate that Hawaii
has become an ally of the United
States government in the present war
with Spain and that at this moment
our government is responsible for the
protection of the Hawaiians from the
consequence of their friendship for
US. According to the calculations of
the officials, of the navy department,
the United States cruiser Charleston
arrived at Honolulu last Saturday
She has probably completed the TAX
ing aboard of foil coal supply and
is now again on her way westward,
bound for the Philippines. The coal
was accumulated at Honolulu by
United States Consul General Hay
wood, and in allowing the Charleston
to take on supply to carry on opera
tions against Spanish territory, the
government Of Hawaii has cast away
all semblance of neutrality III the
present contest and has thrown in her
fortunes with the United States, for
unless we protect her she is subject
to punishment at the hands of Spain.
Moreover, the offense against neu-
trality is to be repeated. for it is ex.
pected that to day the advance guard
of transports carrying troops to Ma.
Mia are entering Honolulu hasbor to
replenish their coal supply

Notes and Comments.

"All Of our long staple cotton is very
enormously called sea island cotton.
There is very little sea island cotton
only 5000 or 10000 bales-prodoced
annually. The remainder Of the crop is
very much inferior to the island cotton,
although called by tie same name. }"
So Colonel A. P. Brartley, a southern
authority, is quoted in the Atlanta
Constitution.
