The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1898-09-18

Special to the Sunday Call from Seattle
At noon day, the 18th Of Septem-
Der, the United States revenue steamer
Bear arrived in Seattle harbor, nav
Ing on board ninety-one shipwrecked
whalers, the greater part of the crews
of the Orca, Rosario and Freeman,
which vessels have left their bones in
the Arctic seas. The other part of the
crews shipped on board other vessels
of the whaling fleet after the Bear
reached Point Barrow in the spring.
Thus is brought to successful finish
the expedition for the relief of the i'm
prisoned whalers, on which mission
the Bear left Seattle on the 9th of last
November, and which adds one more
successful Arctic expedition to the
credit of the revenue cutter service.

reached village called by the natives
Kfyiligamute on the evening of the

dogs were too young and too weak to
stand the travel any further, and as
all the dogs in the village w-re away

ahead with two teams and Dr. Call

behind to wait for the fresh dogs. By
this arrangement he would lose no

Climatic Influences In Cuba,

A Cuban quoted by the Philadelphia
Record says: "Climatic influences in
Cuba affect animals almost as quickly
as human beings. Horses. and mules
taken to the island from the United
States and Europe generally die within
six months after their arrival. Many
attempts have been made to acclimate
mules, but without success, although
they live longer than horses. The ami
mails soon give way to unknown com.
plants and drop by the wayside. The
native mule, dwarf, lives on little
food, but has great endurance and SUBJ
mits good naturally to any amount of
brutality from riders and volante driv
ers. The sugar planters have imported
cattle Of all kinds from foreign coun-
tries, only to find that theysoon became
crippled and had to be killed to end
their sufferings."

COLONEL WITHOUT FEET.
War Department Said to Have Accepted
j. 5. Gambler of Georgia as an Officer.

A recent decision by the war depart
ment has established a peculiar prece-
dent. By it Colonel John S. Gambler Of
Atlanta, who has lost his feet, is per-
mitted to retain command Of the Third
regiment Of Georgia volunteers, to
which place he was assigned by Govern
or Atkinson. For some time he has COM
manded the Fifth regiment Of the state
forces and, Of course, his duties as a
peace soldier were confined % riding
horseback along we'll paved streets, and
his misfortune did not affect the good
of the service. But when he volunteer
ed his services and the governor named
him as commander of the Third much
doubt arose as to his ability to pass.
Major Mills, the mastering officer,
opposed him, but pressure from the
governor and the entire Georgia con-
gross delegation succeeded in overriding
all objections Most of the members of
Gamblers regiment will be taken from
his old command, and the Third will
possibly be the best drilled and equip
ped of the state forces. Colonel Gambler
was just Is years old when Alexander
Stephens, formerly vice president Of the
Ccnfederacy. was elected governor Of
Georgia. Stephens appointed the young
man colonel on his staff, and this was
his military start. For eight years he
was solicitor general, and now is judge
of the Atlanta circuit He lost his feet
in a railway accident Is years ago. TAX
en- altogether, he is one Of the most
popular military men and judicial Off
GERS in the state. He will not resign
his seat on the bench unless compelled
to do so.-New York Sun.

SONS BASE or OPERATIONS.

It IL Spain's Pet Island Colony For Con-
victs-Her Exiled Prisoners tortured
Here For Centuries Past-Natural and
Artiansal Notifications Of the Town. d
.Ceuta, Spain's pet island colony for
cunvicts, which commands the approach
to Gibraltar and the Mediterranean, is
destined to become base of supplies
for Commodore John G.: Watson and
the squadron with which he is to attack
the seacoast of Spain. The Canaries are
all there is between him and this grim
island, where, under the cover Of for
bidding walls and mountains, Spain has
tortured her exiled prisoners for centu-
ries past -*-~
Commodore Watson has been ordered
to command detachment of Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet and to make Of them a
transatlantic squadron. The Canaries
subjugated and the American flag hoist
ed over the islands, he is to proceed d.
rect to the island of Ceuta and establisL
base of supplies. Once in possession
of the self fortified island and town of
Ceuta, Commodore Watson should be
pble to run back for supplies of coal and
ammunition almost as easily as though
he We're off the coast of Florida.
Ceuta is a rock ribbed, rock bound
island off the northeast coast of Fee,
Morocco, and is 10 hours sail from the
entrance to the strait Of Gibraltar. It
might as we'll be called the island of
the seven hills, for from these it derives
it's name. Of these the most conspicuous
is Monte del Hacho, which looks out
toward Spain like signal point set up
to say "All's we'll" Stretching back
from the mountain narrow peninsula
connects the island with the mainland
of Africa On this neck of land the
town Of Ceuta is built.
All around are Notifications, the high
hills put up there by nature and the
prison walls and meats built in success
sion by conquerors and remodeled and
rebuilt by their successors and strength
ened again by the Spaniards when they
made Of it a prison hell. The seven
walls coiled about the town itself are
thick and impossible, save here and
there where arched bridges have been
cut through. Between each wall there
is deep moat of sea water, set down
like a seductive trap to catch any I'M
fortunate convict who might escape the
vigilant guards stationed ali around the
walls.
Every one of the seven hills is forti-
fed now. Up high on Monte del Hacho
there is a strong citadel garrisoned by
Spanish soldiers. Here and there the
walls are pierced by the noses Of CAN
non, but there is no evidence that they
have ever been used except for signal
ing, and it is doubtful if they could be
brought to much better use owing to
their Immortality. -Chicago Times

COST OF a WEEK At OMAHA,
Room and Board for Exposition Wis
itors at Mo :erate Prices.

Perhaps the first consideration with
those contemplating visit to the
Trans Mississippi Exposition tn 8 sum
,ner is that of cost. TO the few, "money
is no object" to- the many. it may be
said that the cost OF u visit to the Ex-
position at Omaha is moderate aud rea-
sonab!e.
In the first place, tb" railroads have
granted exceedingly low rates. especially
to the territory near 3v. Rooms can be
obtained at moderate cost in any part
. of the city, III some cases including
board, and those to whom timeis money
should remember that the compactEess
of the Exposition buildings and the ac-
feasibility from the center OF the city
makes it possible to ''see the sights in
much less time than was required at the
Columbian exposition at Chicago. One
day spent in each OF the main build
ings with two or three days for the
state buildings and other ATTRACTIONS,
will occupy about two weeks, and a
good geieral idea OF the fair can bf. OBJ
tanned in half that tine.
Visitors should communicate immedi-
ately on their arrival in the city with the
Official Information Bureau, 1919 Far
nam street. Baggage can be checked
direct to this address at a charge OF 20
cents to cover the cost OF hauling from
the depot. The bureau is under con-
tract with the Exposition management
to furnish free reliable information in re-
gard to rooms. board, transportation,
carriages, baggage, messenger service,
etc. The bureau has on it's books some
5000 rooms, mostly in private resi-
dences, to winch visitors can be referred
entirely without charge. Comfortable
rooms can be obtained either near the
Exposition grounds or near the business
part OF the city for ST night, or IS a
week for a single person, and for $3.50
il night or SIS week for two. In some
':ases IL light breakfast is included in
these prices. There are also rooms at
higher or lower figures in all parts OF the
city. The hotels also furnish the usual
accommodations at the usual prices.
In some cases board can be obtained

Information Bureau will give Informal

Admiral Camara at Port Said.

1t all seems like an admirable piece
of fooling, this appearance Of Camara' s
squadron at Port Said. It looks very
much like that famous maneuver de-
scribed in old Tarlton' S song:
The king of France went up the hill
With twenty thousand men.
The king of France came down the hill
And meier went up again.
1t may be that the Spanish admiral
will continue his voyage and keep on
through the canal for the Philippines,
but what he will do when he gets there
is hard to say.-Chicago Times-Herald.
