CAMP WIEoFF, L l., Sept. 6.-The
transport Roumania, with 600 troops
from Santiago, was the means of an
additional test of the capacity of the
hospital in the detention camp. OF
the 600 men ON the Roumania about
200 were so sick that they had to be
pat in the hospital. The authorities of
the detention hospital, although they
knew of the transports arrival, had
received no iatimation as to the mum.
Der of sick men they would be expected
to care for.
At the time of the arrival of the sick
men from the Roumania, the hospital
already had nearly 900 patients, and
these 200 additional ones swelled the
number to about 500, 240 more than
the hospital comfortably can hold. AL.
though there were enough cots for the
500 sick soldiers there was not the
space under canvas to place them.
Therefore as a mattress on the floor
takes up less space than a cot, q mum.
Der of patients were taken from cots
and placed upon mattresses on the
floor, and the cots removed. Mat.
tresses were also placed between cots
on the floor. Consequently about 25C
men are lying on mattresses on the
floor, because Of the lack of tent space.

HARD STORIES FROM ALASKA

Great Suffering and Loss of life Along
the Copper River.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Sept. g.
H. II. Hill, who has arrived here from
Copper river, Alaska, say that when
he left Valdes nearly 100 destitute men
were being fed from government sup.
plies. Mr.. Hill prospected the various
stream emptying into Copper river
for a distance of 200 miles, and failed
to find any gold whatever. This has
been the experience Of 1000 others who
crossed the Valdes glacier. About 700
men will winter in Copper river valley.
Their scanty stock Of provisions has
been replenished by donations from
prospectors who are endeavoring to get
out of the country. Mr.. Hill estimates
that at least 200 men have been
drowned and died from various causes
since the rush to Copper river began.

Alaska's Career as a Mining Country
Will be Short. Lived.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7.-Captain
John McCafferty, e~x.collector of Gus.
toms for Alaska and a mining engineer
by profession, has arrived here from
Dawson City. His summing up Of his
experience Is that the gold placer dig.
gings Of Alaska are short.lived, and
that there are no tru fissure veins in
that territory, because the country is
too much broken up, and because the
geological indications are such as to
warrant the conviction that there is no
gold. bearing quartz in the place. Large
broken deposits" Of gold or bonanzas
may be found there, but they will be
Of the nature of pockets and will not
last.
The most surprising opinion ex.
pressed by him is that the placer dig.
gings are on the point of being worked
out, and that many of them have
barely paid expenses.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1.-THE SGD an.

stopped at Camp Sherman and other
suburban points where street cars and

the regimental, brigade and other re.
