men in that part who have lately come
from coast ports and are trying to get up
the river. Many are turning back after

river points. A large part of the Manu-
ense's passengers are returning to their
homes in California, Washington and Da-
kota.

Two from up the river with scores and
hundreds of disappointed gold seekers,
whose stories of hardship and ill-luck are
wildly told in glowing colors to the multi
tude that has come here to take passage
for the mines. This results in many selling
their outfits and returning to the states

The Board of Inquiry Fails to Place the
Responsibility for the Blunder.
The Ship Was Needed

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-When the trans
port Breakwater returned to this city from
Santiago the army officers of the depart
ment of the east were surprised to find
that thousands Of pounds of food which
had been sent south had never been I'M
loaded from the vessel and were still in the
hold.
A board Of survey was appointed by Col.
Gillespie, commanding the department of
the east to determine for whom the stores
had been intended and why they were not
unloaded. This board has reported that
the stores We're not unloaded because there
was immediate need of the vessel to trans
port the sick and wounded. The board de-
clares that it is unable to fix the respon-
sbility for the failure to unload the sup
plies.

 Printer Johnston.

circulars nor did he have anything to do with them.
 Husted says that at the time he wrote the letters and handed them to Henry he was not aware that he was commit ting a criminal libel, inasmuch as he believed the matters he was writing about were true. He said he thought that if Woodman were elected 1t would be the means of securing a position. He was not given a positive promise that he would get a job, he said, but he was given to understand that he would be remembered in the distribu- tion of patronage.
 The letter, copies of which had been given circulation, was of character which would not bear reproduction in a newspaper.
 A. L. Henry, secretary of the Bureau of Highways, said to-day with refer ence to Husteds statement that his first knowledge of any circulars having been sent out came through E. s. Had ley. Deputy State Printer. Hadley had called and asked him what he knew about any such circulars. He said that he then told Hadley and State Printer Johnston that he had nothing to do with the letters or circulars Henry says that on two occasions Husted brought him rolls of manuscript, which he (Henry) turned over to McCallum. the ste2ographer in the Bureau of Highways. He said that McCaIlum does private typewriting work
 T had nothing to do with the re- vision, preparation or typewriting of the circulars, said Henry. "If MT. McCallum did anything of the kind. if was an outside matter"
 State Printer Johnston has been in consultation with District Attorney Ryan relative to bringing the guilty party or parties to justice. The State Printer is of the belief that others higher in authority than Husted had a hand in it.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The Washington correspondent of the Herald sends the following: Unless Major General Miles re- tracts the statements concerning fresh meat furnished the army, at tributed to him by a Cincinnati paper, or denies their authentic ity, a court-martial may follow for either himself or Commissary General Eagan.
 Supported, he declares, by the reports of fifteen regimental com handlers and others, General Miles is not at all likely to make any retraction or denial, but 1t is understood he has in course of preparation a paper which is in tended to substantiate the state ments which he IS reported to have made. It is evident, there fore, that very serious crisis has been reached in the relations of the major general commanding the army and the comtnissary general.

The San Francisco call., 1898-12-25

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 24.-During the recent campaign typewriter copies of a letter of a most libelous character, reflecting upon the good name of the women employed at the State Printing Office, were secretly circulated in cer- tain parts of the State. The letters were intended to injure the chances of State Printer Johnston for reelection. His opponent. E. l. Woodman, how ever, publicly disclaimed any knowl- edge of the letter or its author. and some of Woodman's friends published in San Francisco an offer of $500 re- ward for the detection and arrest of the offender, but the latter remained undiscovered.
 Agencies were kept at work by friends of State Printer Johnston In this city, however, and their efforts eliminated to-day when William Jo- seph Husted. an employe of the rail- road shops, made confession before District Attorney Ryan and others of having been the author of the foul at tacks on the character of the women employed in the State Printing Office. The detection of Husted was due to the cleverness of Detective Max P. Fisher of this city, who, by series of decoy letters. succeeded in entrapping the offender.
 In his statement to the District At torney to-day Husted said that about the first of last October he became .ac- quainted with A. L. Henry secretary of the State Bureau of Highways, being introduced by Duncan McCallum, the stenograp pher of the same office. Hus- ted said that he took to the office of the Bureau of Highways in the Capitol two letters which he had written and which he turned over to Henry for his approval. Henry he said. took charge of the letters. Several days afterward. said Husted. a package containing a lot of mimeograph copies of the letters he had given to Henry was received, but the sentiments were expressed in better language than he (Husted) could command. Continuing, Husted, after being shown the proofs in the posses sion of the District Attorney, said:
 While the circulars which you have shown me are not exactly true copies, yet those are exactly the sentiments which expressed in the letters which I gave to MT. Henry. I don't want to throw any blame upon any one who had nothing to do with the matter. I have heard 1t said that E. l. Woodman, who was Johnston's opponent, has been accused of sending out certain circu- lars, which I believe are the circulars referred to here. But I will say that MT. Woodman knew nothing about the

meet the alleged charge of fur nishing anything whatever under pretense of experiment. General Eagan IS Of the opinion that the proper place to discuss the merits of this matter Is before the Inves- tigating Commission, and before the courts, civil and military, where the widest latitude, under oath, will be given to all con cerned; where the conduct of General Miles and the conduct of General Eagan, under oath, will have the fullest, most exhaustive examination and analysis con- corning any or all charges that may be brought by either, to the end that justice shall be done. In view of this already inaugurated
 action, General Eagan deems 1t unmilitary and improper to make
