Companies r, G and H of the First New York Regiment, commanded by Captains Martin, Ferguson and Hitchcock respect ively left the Presidio yesterday morning and marched to the Steuart street wharf, where they embarked for Honolulu on the steamer Alliance.

 Major Charles E. Davis, Surgeon and Chaplain Karl Schwartz of the regiment, Hospital Steward Charles Cans, Unit ed States army, and two men Tor hospltal duty also boarded the steamer, which carries II officers and 313 men. This num- Der crowds the small steamer to its ut most capacity, but everything possible has been done for the comfort Of the sol diers The Alliance is liented by elec- trfcity, and has refrigerators filled with fifty tons of fresh provisions. IL IS eX- pected that the passage will be @ smooth one and that notwithstanding the crowd ed condition of the vessel the soldiers will enjoy the trip. The alliance pulled out of her dock last evening at O clock and at once started on her voyage 10 Honolulu She was given the usual part ing salute of a chorus oI steam whistles.

launch and a wounded soldier are to their credit.
 The whole trouble has been caused by the prisoners. Several of the men confined on the island were volunteers and they consider themselves as being harshly dealt with because they have been sentenced to serve three years Tor desertion during the time of war; All of them have relatives able and willing to help them and the attempts at eS- cape have been numerous. The plots were discovered, however, before they were ready to be sprung and the result was a number of prisoners on bread and water and a more rigorous watch.
 All the attempts at escape were not fruitless, however. One of them suc- ceeded last Tuesday night and the au- thorities on the island are now search ing high and low for H. R. Beale, John Meredith and Edgar M. Sweeney. They got away in a small rowboat owned by the son of Major Kinzie and reached the mainland, but not before one or the escapes had been wounded by the sol dter on guard at the military wharf.
 Sweeney is the ringleader of the gang. He fell fin love with woman who lives at North Beach and 1t was for her he deserted. This woman mas been in constant communication With the prisoner and also with his fr1ends in the East. A few days ago she wanted to send over to him telegram she had received from Sweeneys s friends. but when told that 1t would be read by the officer of the day on the island she decided to keep 1t until she saw her lover.
 simultaneously with the arrival of the telegram a small gasoline launch called the Meteor began proving around Alcatraz She was warned away, but the next day about dusk

 A large supply of goods will be sent on both the Scandia and the Arizona for the Red Cross Hospital in Manila and for use on the ships going over, and also a large supply for the use of the transport as a hospital ship on its return trip with sick soldiers.
 The Red Cross wishes to contradict the statement that the boys going hme on furloughs had imposed on the society for their luncheon, as they had been given $1 50 a day by the Government. Until last Tuesday they were not given rations or money. and the Red Cross brought it to the attention of the Government, so that now all the men are given their transportation and s1 50 a day.

WITH ARTERIES SEVERED.
Frank BarneclO Has Four Gashes ON
His Face.

At about II o'clock last night Frank Barn
cello, a driver for Frank Bird, presented
himself at the station house in an alarming
ly bloody condition. Examination showed
four deep cuts on the left side of his face
and head. He was taken to the City Dis
pensary, where it was found that every ar
terry on the left side of his face had been
severed and an ugly cash was shown just
behind the ear. Much blood was lost from
this wound, and it was necessary to repair
two arteries here.
His story is q singular one and is not cred
tied by the police He says that with Henry
Whitaker he was walking along Washing
ton street carrying an old hat which they
were to leave at a nearby store They
were accosted by several men, who made
some remark about the hat. This was fol-
lowed by a quarrel, in which, it is said,
Whitaker took no part, and who left Barne-
ever, that he did not know he was cut until
he had crossed the street and felt the blood
trickling down the back of his neck. He
was placed under arrest, but had to be re-
moved to the City Hospital after he had
been attended at the Dispensary. Efforts
were at once made to get the guilty parties,
and inside of ten minutes Patrolmen STREET
and Schroeder, from the description given
by Barneco, had arrested Frank German
and Con Hines. Both were covered with
dirt and blotches of blood were found on
each. Whitaker was also arrested. All four
men are said by the police to be members of
what is left of the Boo gang.

orders indicating a further movement of
troops from this camp were received from
Washington to-day. 1t is generally accept
ed here as the policy of the War Depart
ment not to send any more troops forward
until there is something more definite in
connection with the proposed negotiations
for peace The only regiment arriving at
Camp Thomas to-day was the Sixth United
States Volunteer lmmunes, ordered here
from Knoxville, Tenn. The regiment is
commanded by Col. l.. D. Tyson, and was
assigned to the Second Brigade, First Divi-
sion, Third Corps.
Private Will Lawson, a member of Com
pany 1, Fifth Arkansas, was killed to-day
while attending the target practice at the
regimental range. Lawson had been de-
tailed to keep the target while the squad at
practice was firing. During a period of fir
ing a red flag is hoisted by the squad a
warning to the men attending the targets.
This flag was up but Lawson for some rea-
son stuck his head above the pit when
bullet passed through his head, killing him
instantly.
1t was learned late tonight that Corporal
Henderson, Company D, Twelfth New York,
was killed in the same manner that Lawson,
Of the First Arkansas, met his death Hen
derson was attending the target while
squad was at practice and raised his head
above the trench behind which he was con-
cealed just in time to receive bullet dis
charged at the target by one of the men of
the range.

work of striking tents" and loading wag-

song as they worked and by the light of
candle and burning trash everything was
loaded before daylight. The Thirty-frst

over several four-mule teams and wagons

the wagons in front Colonel Gunder gave

CAMP AT MIAMI ABANDONED.
All the Volunteers Rendezvoused
There Ordered to Jacksonville.


WASHINGTON. July 3O-For ten days
the officials of the War Department have
had under consideration a proposition to
abandon the camp at Miami, Fla. On ac-
count of the necessarily inadequate facili-
ties for the proper sanitation of the camp.
coupled with the considerable amount of
illness among the men, it was deemed desir-
able to move the troops to some other point.
BY direction of the secretary of war, Or
ders have been issued that Miami shall be
abandoned as one of the permanent camps
of United States forces and directing that
the troops now there shall be transferred
Immediately to Jacksonville. There are now
at Miami about 1900 volunteers, the diVi-
sion comprising the First and Second Texas.
the First and Second Alabama and the First
and Second Louisiana.
While there is much sickness among the
troops at Miami, the reports to the War
department do not indicate a particularly
serious condition of affairs. Exaggerated ac-
counts of the condition of the forces in the
Miami camp have been published, but the
war authorities say they take very little
reports that the health conditions in the
camp are not what they ought to be, but
they give assurances that some of the sto-
ries which have gained circulation about
the alleged lawful" condition existing there
are not warranted by the facts. One prom
inent gentleman, discussing the situation at

half pint of milk each per day. The COM
plant was entered in all seriousness. but
new phase was put on it when the secretary
called his attention to the fact that while
he was in the army during the civil war he
considered himself fortunate if he secured
a half pint of milk a month. The worst
trouble at Miami is malaria and typhoid
fever. The best of attention has been given
those who are confined TO the hospital, and
they are getting along as well as reasonably
could be expected. 1t is anticipated the re-
moval of the division to Jacksonville will
