FLEEING FROM DAWSON.
A Famine Is Threatened In the Land
of Gold and Cold.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. Capt.
Charles Gates claims to bring the lat
est news from Dawson to the effect
that famine is threatened and a STAN
pede will shortly take place to get out
of the land of gold and cold, exceeding
in proportion the rush for the Klondike
in its most acute stage. Prices are
climbing skyward, and provisions are
so scarce that single meals are again
up to "a. Rents are so high that for
one shack of offices the proprietors are
getting a rate Of $500 a month from
lawyers, doctors and commission
agents. Indignation meetings are held
twice or three times a week to pro-
test against the high-handed conduct
Of Canadian officials. They are all get
ting rich and securing the choice
claims. How they do it is another
story" The police are a power in
Dawson, and have become a sort of
demigods spoilt by the generosity of
those who most desire their aid in the
way of legal service. One of the most
prominent lawyers In Dawson stated
that every government official would
leave Dawson a rich man. The bank
is giving $14 an ounce for dust when it
should give SIG.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. IA meeting

ors Of the Electrolytic Marine Salts
company, when they will undoubtedly
decide to wind up the affairs of the
company as soon and as cheaply as
possible. The general impression pre-
walls that rs per cent will be paid to
the stockholders. There are 100000
| shares of stock, which were sold at
80 1-S cents. AS the company has al
, ready paid a dividend of per cent. it
will be seen that. If the company pays
80 cents on the dollar or anything near
that figure, the loss will be trihing
each, upon which the holders will lose
heavily.
Some of the stockholders are selling
their stock at low figures, and what
ever Is offered below Is cents is being
eagerly taken. The indirect contribu-
ton to the government by the use of
revenue stamps is quite substantial
as on all transfers of stock and pow
ers of attorney stamps have to be af-
fixed. The company has already paid
out several hundred dollars for these
stamps.
The Boston office has not received

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 1.-THE
complaint of the army at Santiago NAV
bring about a general investigation in
the war department as to the respon-
sibility for the suffering Of the sick
and wounded there and elsewhere.
Secretary Alger has been disposed to
accept the explanations Of the quar-
termaster general and the surgeon gen.
eral for the conditions of the TRANSPORTS
Seneca and Concha, and acQuit them of
neglect or mismanagement; but it is
said that he will have testimony In a
few days which will appeal to him Pc
culiarly because 1t will come from his
personal friends, in whom he has great
confidence.
The arrival of the San Marcos at
New York from Egmont key with a
large number of sick and wounded SOL
diers Ia awaited with considerable any
iety by the officials at the war depart
ment, because the soldiers on board
this transport were brought from San
tiago to Egnlont key by the Santa go
and two other transports which had
taken horses and cattle to Cuba. On
the arrival of these transports at Egg
mont key reports began coming into
Washington of conditions that seemed
to be even worse than those prevail
ing on board the Seneca and the Con-
cna- II was reported that the trans
ports had hot been properly cleaned for
the reception Of the sick and wounded.
and that the men placed on board were
without proper food atnd medical sup
plies. and had no medical attendance
whatever.
The truth as to these reports will
soon be known, and the secretary of
war will probably receive his informa-
ton from his friends, Gen. Duffield, Col.
Boynton and Prof. Vaughn, all of Mich
tgan. Secretary Alger has been anx-
ious about the whereabouts of Gem.
Dufheld, who was reported to have left
Santiago ten days ago. It is now said
that the general and his two compan-
ions were on the Santiago, and at Egg
mont key were transferred to the San
Marcos alnd sent to New York, where
they are expected to arrive in a day
or two.
According to reports coming from
Tampa, there was no surgeon aboard
the Santiago, and when Prot. Vaughn
took charge and looked into the medical
stores ne found he had only g. limited
supply of condensed milk, quinine and
cathartic pills. He used these to the
best advantage, alternating the quinine
and the pills with the fever patients
and giving The condensed milk to the
convalescents. y

Now that President Mckinley has Endorsed

GOOD Is not only bright pupil with ideas,
but he possesses the common sense to give
a hurrah demonstration when the thought
came to him Of replacing the Maine with
a battieship built by the school children of
America, he went at once to well known bust
ness men and sought their advice as to the
best methods not only of awakening interest
In his Plan, but of impressng people with
its practicability. Among the first things he
did was to secure the consent Of one Of the
leading banks of Cincinnati to act as the de-
pository of the money, which Is to be for
warded to the government treasury in $50, coo
installments. He then secured the indorse-
ment OF the chamber of commerce and the

young Good visited Washington to sse Presi-
him an expression that would aid in advanc-
Ing his plan. In this he was successful. After
an nn interview, during which Good and a com
with him, explained the project in detail,
President Mckinley gave the following let
ter of Endorsement:

1S9S.-To Master w. Rankin Good, Cincin-
natl, Only Dear Sir: The circular which
you have presented outlining your plan for
raising fund with which to build and pre-
sent to the government battleship has
greatly interested me. Love of country and
devotion to the flag were never more con-
spicuous in America than they are today,
and I am sure our boys and girls will deem
1t privilege to be numbered among the con-
tributors to this patriotic undertaking. Very
sincerely yours, William Mckinley
But young Good has not waited until he
had secured these indorsements to bzgin his
efforts to raise money for 1.-THE American
Boy" Within four days after the destru ction
Of the Maine he had formulated his general
plan, and began to put it in execution. He
would appeal to scixail children everywhere,
and to school boards. to assist him in reach

board of education of Cincinnati from which
he received an Endorsement the essential
part of which reads as follows:

SOME SHIP WRECKED.
A Disaster on the Coast of Belle
Isle Is Probable.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Aug. Capt Major.
of the mail steamer Virginia Lake, from
Labrador, which arrived today, expresses the
belief that some ship has been sunk on Belle
Isle. Reports to that effect, he says. are
current along the whole northern coast OF
the island, beside which a quantity Of DEAL
cheese boxes ana other wreckage have
drifted ashore at Flowers Cove, near the
scene Of the reported disaster.
Capt. Major is surprised that more wrecks
are not reported because the fog in that re-
gion has been the heaviest known in thirty
years, continuing fourteen days, during
which time not a sight of land could be OBJ
tanned.
Saturday, July 80, large Allan line steam
ship, with 100 passengers aboard. was al
most ashore at Battle Harbor, and on Tues
day last two other liners were in danger off
Chateau. The steamer Ipsden is a total
wreck off Cape Annoy. owing 20 the same
cause.
