NO TIME FIXED FOR THEE
DEPARTURE.
General Merriam's Plans Not Altered
by Today's Mail-The Military and
the Government.

The Annexation Commissioners are
working eight hours day now, and
it was nearly 6 o'clock again when
they finished last night.
Today's morning session last till
nearly 1 o'clock, and a recess was ta-
ken for one hour for lunch. Senator
Cullom said today that there was
nothing to give out to the public as
to the proceedings.
Nothing has been decided as TO
when the Commission will leave, save
that it is doubtful if they will get
away before the 23rd. If accommo-
dations can be secured the Commits
soners may take the Alameda on the
14th.
General Merriam was asked at noon
today if anything had been received
by the Australia's mail to affect his
plans. He said not, that he should
leave on the Australia. The Arizona
and Scandia would leave for Manila
as soon as they could get their car
goes shifted and sorted out. When
that would be he could not say.
At the Executive building today
there were no new developments in
the proposed transfer of the military
and the supposition was that the idea
was abandoned for the time being.

CERYERA GOING HOME.

WASHINGTON, August 31.-Acting
Secretary Allen has authorized the re-
lease of all the Spanish naval prison
ers captured on July 3rd from Cerve-
ra's fleet. The prisoners are now at
Annapolis and Seavey's Island, Ports
mouth harbor, the officers being at
the academy and the sailors at the
island. The condition of the men
physically is all that could be desired.
The prisoners are to be returned at
the expense of the Spanish govern
ment to their homes. This was the
condition upon which our government
agreed to release them, without parole
or other restrictions. Admiral Cerve-
ra was charged by his government
with the arrangements for transport
ing the prisoners. They are all to go
together, officers and men. 1t is be-
lieved that Captain Eulate has gone
to New York to charter the two Span
ish steamers now lying there.

SICK TROOPS GO HOME.

CAMP WIKOFF, L. l., August a.
The Seventy-first New York volunteer
regiment will leave Montauk next
week. The reason given for the post
ponement of the trip was to give
number of men who are now on the
sick list chance to brace up, so that
they may go with the regiment.
When the transport Yucatan reach
ed here with six companies of the Sew
enth 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 night.
The Yucatan had 200 sick men on
board 1t is alleged that the ship left
Santiago without sufficient quanti-
ty of proper food or supplies for the
sick.
The Second Massachusetts, which
departed today, left behind Z officers
and 200 sick men in the hospitals. AS
the men marched to the dock 100 of
them dropped out of the line, but be-

able to continue until the boat was

An IMPORTANT DECISION
FOREIGN VESSELS CAN CARRY ON
HAWAIIAN TRADE.
After Congress Gives the New Gov
erhment to the Islands Only Ameri-
can Bottoms Will be Used

T. II. Goodman, general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific company
has received from the treasury de-
partment at Washington, ruling on
the right of vessels with foreign reg
istry to engage in trade between the
coast and Hawaii. A few days ago
Mr.. Goodman asked the secretary of
the treasury for a ruling on the sub
ject, because of the fact that steam
ers of the Occidental and Oriental
Steamship Company fly the English
flag, and he did not know just how
the annexation of the Islands affect
ed the rights of the company.
The reply of the treasury depart
ment is to the effect that for the pres
ent all foreign bottoms can engage
in trade between United States and
Hawaii. After Congress provides a
government for the Islands and it
goes into force, the treasury depart
ment says that all vessels with foreign
registers will be excluded from trad
ing between the United States and the
Islands. At that time the Occidental
and Oriental vessels will have to go
out of the Hawaiian business, unless,
the department adds, the company
can get an American register for its
ships,

CAIRO, August 30.-The Khalifa
according to a dispatch received to-
day from Wad-el-Obeid, had laid tor
pedoes in the Nile below Omdurman,
and ia large Dervish force is issuing
from Kerreri, about eight miles north
of 0mdurman, to meet the Anglo

A brigade of friendly Arabs, com
manded by Major Stuart Nortley, it
is announced in dispatch from Wad-

been pushing around Omdurman, the
Dervish camp of Khartoum, with the
forces of the Kahlifa, had its first
brush with the enemy on the east
bank of the Nile and captured five
men and a grain-laden boat.
The Dervish scouts, the dispatch
continues, are now frequently sighted,
and the whole Anglo-Egyptian army
has reached Omteriff, thirty miles
from Omdurman. 1t will move into a
new camp, ten miles further south to-
day.
The gunboat Melik has been wreck

LUCKY GEORGE OTTERSON
CAPTURES $4,000 FROM THE ICY
KLONDIKE.
Left Honolulu Last Year for the Gold
Fields and Made Good Clean Up
Within the Twelvemonth.

SEATTLE, August 2S.-The steamer
South Portland, the last of the Boston
and Alaska company's fleet to return
from the north, arrived in port at an
early hour this morning, with 1926
Kloudikers and at least 100000 in
dust. OF this amount 100000 was in
the purser's strong box.
The richest man on board and per-
haps the most interesting, was George
Otterson of Honolulu. He went to
Alaska about a year ago. On his ar
rival there he commenced speculating
and soon got hold of good Bononza
creek claim. He worked the property
to its fullest extent. and at the end of
the working season this year he had
$4,000.
Otterson had a presentiment that
he was going to be robbed and took
the greatest precautions to avoid it.
He wanted to get under cover, so he
shipped as assistant engineer on the
river steamer Sovereign. All the long
voyage to st. Michael he stood his
watch and had his treasure constantly
under his eye. He would have come
down on the South Portland in the
same capacity, but there was no room
for him. The trip down the river on
the steamer took twelve days, many
of which were spent on sand bars.

Tom McCombe has been kept busy

glad to see him here again, and glad
to see him back on the Australia. And
Tom is glad to be back in Honolulu

He met with an accident some few

HENRY SMITHS TRAVELS
TELLS OF HIS IMPRESSIONS OF
THE UNITED STATES.
Peculiar Results of an Operation He
Underwent for Defective Hearing

Henry Smith, clerk of the judiciary,
returned by this mornings steamer,
from a six weeks trip to the mainland,

large cities of. the United States. He

ing on the little bones on the inside.
The operation was partly successful,

the unaffected one, but strange to
say the left ear became affected i'm
mediately after the operation and it
is now as bad as the other one was.

that complete rest will restore my

terward that I should not have been

NUTS NOT NUGGETS.
Schooner Sophia Sutherland Returns
From the South Seas.

SAN FRANCISCO, September l.
The schooner Sophia Sutherland that
left this port September 4, 1897, for
a cargo of gold in the South Seas, re-
turned yesterday, SO days from Apia,
Samoa, freighted with cocoanuts. The
gold was the dream of an unscrupu-
lous adventurer, Pete Sorenson, or
pirate Pete as he is known in the
South Seas. and had vanished when
the Sutherland and her party of ad-
venturers reached the island of the
Solomon group, where the rich Lodges
were supposed to be located.
Among the crew of the schooner
were II. Sickles and ]. Sutherland,
two members of the Percy Edwards
expedition. They were in full SYM
pathy with the folks of the Sophia
Sutherland, as they too had left home
to follow a phantom, not Sorenson's
gold mines, but an equally visionary
AdamleSS Eden.

MERRITT TO GO TO PARIS.
Official Announcement Concerning
Reports From Manila.

WASHINGTON, August 29-It was
announced this afternoon at the war
department that General Merritt was
to go to Paris to give the peace com
mission the benefit of his experience
in the Philippines. The original plan
had been to send Admiral Dewey to
Paris for this purpose, but this was
changed upon representations from
the admiral that he could be of great
er service at Manila than at Paris.
Whether or not General Merritt will
return to the Philippines has not yet
been determined. That will depend
entirely upon the state of affairs in
the islands when the peace commits
sion concludes it's labors The choice
of route is left to himself, but it is
expected he will be in Paris within
sixty days at least.
