1t is a sad story that comes from
Spearhsh, s. d., to the effect that the
late Mrs. De Ledeboer died OF a broken
heart. produced by grief over her son
going to the front with the Dakota
troops. The Dakota contingent was
sent to Manila to support Dewey, and
Mrs. Ledeboer feared that her boy
would never return. None but the
mothers can ever know how their
heart strings were pulled when their
boys shouldered muskets and marched
away under old glory to meet such fate
as might be decreed to them. But
the boys Will come home one OF these
days, and then how proud the mothers
will be Of them.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1S.-While
General Miller, in command of the Pre-
sidio military post, is strongly in favor
of substituting substantial barracks for
the tents now in use, he will not act in
the matter until the return of General
Merriam from Honolulu.
Without an express appropriation by
Congress for the purpose, says General
Miller, nothing but temporary struct-
ures can be erected for barracks. But
even those would be vastly superior to
the scant protection against the ele-
ments which the tents afford
The necessity Of more careful hous-
ing Of the troops during the coming
winter is made apparent by the increase
in the sick list at Camp Merriam. There
We're nine new cases reported to-day at
the Division Field Hospital, making 31S
in all as against 800 when the camp
was moved. Among the new cases are
two Of measles and one suspected typh-
cid fever case. All of the patients are
progressing favorably and none are re-
ported to be in immediate danger. Cen
eral Miller has received no advices re-
garding the movement of the troops
now here either to Honolulu or Manila.

TERRIBLE SUFFERING.
Hamlin Garland Tried to Travel
the Spokane Route.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 1S.-A
Chronicle" special from Seattle says:
Hamlin Garland has reached Pine
Creek, the newest gold camp in Alaska,
after a narrow escape from death by
starvation on the terrible Spokane
route. He has been months on a thou
sand mile journey, taken up at the in
stance Of prominent Canadians, and
owes his life to good luck rather than
anything else
He started for Dawson from Ash
croft, expecting to make hurried trip
into the interior. With every mile that
he put between himself and Ashcroft
the trail grew worse until at last it
was almost impossible. At last the
trail faded suddenly from view. For
days they wandered on through
swamps and timber lands, none of them
knowing where the end would be. After
being on short rations for several days
they stumbled into Hudson Bay post.
They replenished their outfits and
started again for the Stickeen. The
distance was misrepresented and their
grub began to run short, while the end
of the journey seemed no nearer. Gar
land put his men on short rations and
kept moving on. At last they reached
the Glenora very much exhausted.
From there Garland took boat to the
Pine Creek country

THE POOR OF HAVANA.
How They Were Fed by the Spanish
at the Soup Houses.

PUEBLO (CoL), Sept. 1S.-A letter
has been received here from a we'll
known Pueblo citizen, who has been in
Havana in an official capacity and was
one of the very few Americans admit
ted for special reasons to witness the
feeding Of the poor at the Havana
SOUP houses before ti-2y were closed
by Blanco's orders last week. The let
ter was sent in four pieces to elude at
tention in the mails. Among other
things it says:
Large basins were placed about on
the floor filled with a sort of soup,
made of beans. rice and sometimes a
bit of meat cooked with it, This was
dipped into smaller pans, one pan TO a
family or group. Among notes taken
I find that the allowance of meat is
eighty pounds per week for 900 per-
sons For the very sick and the
small children a scant portion of con-
densed milk is given. Bread is never
issued.
II counted eighteen on the upper
floor more dead than alive, some of
them suffering intensely"
The writer describes the refusal of the
Spanish authorities to permit the land
ing of tons of food sent to Havana by
the Red Cross for the poor people and
the soup houses are now closed.

PREPARATIONS COMPLETE.
Spanish Troops Ready to Embark
at Porto Rico.

SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO. Sept.
1S.-The preparations for the embarka-
ton of the Spanish troops are reported
TO be complete. although the American
Commissioners have not been officially
advised to that effect.
The United States Commissioners
have agreed that such troops as de-
sire to remain here may do so. and
practically all the volunteers and Soma
of the regulars whose families ana in
terests are here will remain. II the
necessary ships were here, the island
would be evacuated and formally in
our possession within three days.
The American Commissioners are
highly gratfied with the spirit shown
by the Spaniards. The unexpected has
happened Where it was expected that
opposition and delay would be en-
countered, none has been found. With
good faith the Spanish Commissioners
have met the Americans and arranged
with them terms of evacuation. Our
Commissioners expect to see the Amer
lean flag hoisted and the Spanish flag
hauled down forever within three
weeks.

great loss to the owners. Another de-
tail from the northwestern boundary
brought in Ave men found with stock
grazing in the park. Lieutenant KIM
ball Is still patroling the park, and as
numerous bands are known to be with
in the limits, many more arrests will
undoubtedly follow.
Most of the scattered sheep are known
to belong to French and Portuguese,
who have kept their stock in the park
boundaries all summer. Some of the
herders captured opposed arrests, caus-
ing trouble by refusing to surrender
when ordered to do so by Sergeant
Price. They reluctantly submitted,
however, when covered by firearms.
They were compelled to walk from the
place of arrest to Camp Wood, thirty
miles distant To prevent their escape
at night the men were divested of most
of their clothing. On account Of very
dry season there is a great scarcity of
water throughout the park. Many
streams are dry killing off the trout,
thousands of which were added to this

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1S.-There

OVerfioWed into Union Square, fully
5000 being unable to gain admission
into the sacred edifice.
Before the services began DR.. Tai
mage appeared and told the crowd to
be patient and he would address them
later. They waited patiently and after
delivering a sermon on Garrison
Duty" in the church, many soldiers
being in the congregation, the famous
preacher mounted the band stand in
Union Square and conducted regular
religious services, preaching a brief
sermon to one of the largest assem-
blages ever addressed in this city. Three
