COMPANY II COMING HOME.
District Troops From Porto Rico
Reach Mcnfnuk Today.

The transport with the men of Com
pany H, First Regiment District of CO.
lumbia Volunteers, on board, now en-
route from Porto Rico, is expected to
reach New York today, according to ad-
vices received at the War Department
last night
Company II is commanded by Capt.
Henry B. LOCKER, and has about sixty
enlisted men in the ranks. 1t was de-
tached from the regiment at Tampa
and assigned TO the Porto Rican army of
invasion as a company of engineers. The
men of the company have been under
fire and did gallant work in the capture
of the first landing place of American
troops in Porto Rico.
After the District engineers had landed
they were required to do the hardest sort
of work in the intense heat of the sun,
such as constructing bridges and
wharves, telling trees, building roads,
and digging intrenchments. Capt. LOCKER
in recent letter stated that the boys
covered themselves with glory, not to
mention Porto Rican dirt
Should the company reach New York
on schedule time today it will arrive in
Washington tonight or early tomorrow
morning, as no place in New York City
or vicinity has been set aside for even
a temporary camp, and they will, there
fore, il is believed, at once embark on a
train for home.

CRITICISM OF NO AVAIL.
Surgeon General Sternberg Speaks
Caustic Words in His Defense.


Caustic Words in His Defense.
Gen. Sternberg, in speaking of the dis
satisfaction and unfavorable comments
regarding the removal of patients from
Camp Wikof to the different city hos
pitals said:
Owing to the many complaints which
have been made regarding the conditions
at Camp Wikoff and in contemplation of
the equinoctial rains which will soon COM
mence, / decided to have ankhe sick
moved from the camp and taken to the
different city hospitals where they could
receive better attention. Every possible
precaution has been taken to facilitate
ease in transporting the sick, and every
possible comfort has been provided.
I'VE have a staff of eminent surgeons
at Camp Wikoff, sufficient transportation
has been arranged for, and all necessary
rations and food delicacies have been pro-
cured. Now that this has been done here
comes a bitter criticism of the surgeon
general for allowing the litters with the
sick to be moved
Il have been advised by the surgeon in
charge at the camp as to the best means
OF caring for the sick, and in accordance
with his advice have taken the steps al
ready mentioned. What | have done I
have done for the best and I will not
further heed any criticisms which are
aiWays frequent, no matter what course
is adopted"

The tendency of the stock market yes
terday was downward There were occa-
sional rallies and one or two stocks held
their own during the entire day, but the
general market was very weak much of
the time. Some stocks fell off four or five
points, and nearly the entire market was
lower at the end of the day by point or
more The foreign buying amounted to
900 shares and partly accounted for the
strength shown in the early market.
Money rates to large extent governed
the course of speculation during the lat
ter part of the day. The rate for call
loans is generally expected to go to S per
cent this week, and in some well-inform-
ed quarters per cent is predicted. 1t
seems pretty certain that the bank state
ment will show further loss in reserve.
although 1t is possible that the statement
was made on rising averages.

the declaration of the usual l per cent
dividend by Manhattan. This action was
expected, though it Is well known that
the dividend will not be earned this quar-
ter and must be made up In the balance
of the fiscal year. One of the directors
of the company said yesterday: MAN
haitian did not earn the dividend declared
today in the current quarter. 1t was not
earned during the first quarter of last
year, either, during the hot weather. Last
year the loss was made up, however, in
the last nine months, and there is every
reason to believe that this will occur dur
ing the current fiscal year" The official
statement of Manhattan earnings for the
current quarter will not be made until
the middle of November. 1t is said that
the statement upon which the directors
acted yesterday shows earnings available
for dividends of less than $4,000. The
dividend requirement for the quarter is
100000. 1t is said that the current quar-
ter is the most unfavorable in the history
of the present company.

Tobacco was one of the exceptions TO
the general rule of weakness yesterday
There is much gossip of a most optimistic
nature regarding the Tobacco Trust The
New York News Bureau yesterday sug-
gested the fact that the Tobacco common
stock at 145 yields the investor slightly
over 1-2 per cent. With it's eXtraordi-
nary earnings and its large cash and ma
terial surplus, the News people say the
price is in no way unreasonable. In ad-
dition to this, however, there is the
strong possibility, or, in fact, almost the
certainty of an adjustment of the plug
interests of the country. When this
comes it is the opinion of the street that
the insiders will make large advance in
the price of Tobacco stock. The company
is present the largest producer of man
ufactured tobacco in the country, and its
strength will be largely increased by pur-
chasing the plant at St. Louis. A quorum
of the Tobacco Company directors could
not be secured yesterday and there was
no meeting.

Chicago, Sept 1S.-Wheat was at one
time up 1c., and held half of it. Foreign
markets were strong. The seaboard re-
ported a very large export business. The
Northwestern receipts were little ahead
of last years, but everywhere else they
were light The market that had the best
receipts was the strongest. Duluth was up
at one time l 1-2c. on cash, and Minnesota
claimed flour sales of $1,000 bushels. Odes-
sa said that the Russian harvesting was

She started across anyway. When they

back the train to it, which he did. Both

taking out two stringers, which rem

bridge the seething waters formed a
whirlpool, which drew the timber with
its living occupants into it, and they
were never seen alive afterward. When
the waters run down the bodies were
found about two miles below. From
