MORGAN OBJECTS TO ONIONS.

San Francisco, August 1.-THE steam
er Mariposa, conveying the Hawaiian
commissioners and 1854 men of the First
New York volunteers to Honolulu, sailed
shortly after 4 o'clock this morning.
She was detained at her dock all night
awaiting the arrival of delayed English
mails.
The Examiner says:
When the Hawaiian comm ission en-
barked on the steamer Mariposa they
found the passenger deck stacked with
boxes of onions. Senators Morgan and
Cullom and Representative Hit made q
strong protest to Capt. Hayward against
the ship sailing in such a condition.
They declared that it was an outrage and
an insult to the government to convert
the vessel which was to carry the official
reports on such an important mission
into a freight ship. Further than this
they asserted that it was unsafe to pro-
coed to sea under such conditions. Every
berth on the steamer was taken and a
number of passengers could not get Sleep
ing accommodations The commission
was obliged to remain on the vessel for
the reason that it could not secure other
means of transportation.

SOLDIERS WITHOUT SHELTER.
More Evidence of Criminal Incompetency
In War Department..

New York, August 1l.-Many of the
soldiers at Montauk Camp are still with
out shelter.
There was little Improvement in affairs
this morning. Detachments of troops
one after another arrived only to find no
preparation for them.
General Young and his few assistants
had been unabls to provide accommodate
tions for all the soldiers who arrived
yesterday and on the previous day.
As a result many of the men who ar
rived today will be without shelter to-
night. There are nearly fifty sick soldiers
in the hospital tents who are without
comfortable beds and proper nourish-
ment.
Fresh milk S needed for the typhoid
natients. It is stated that arrangements
are being made to have an ample supply
of milk shipped to the camp every day.

will have to be sent from New York, be-
fore the pumping can begin.
The contractor says he will have an

ILLINOIS SOLDIERS LEFT BEHIND.

New York, August 1i.-When the Yale
started today for Santiago de Cuba many
of the Sth Illinois colored volunteers
were not aboard of her. 1t is said that
during the five hours the regiment spent
at Communipaw depot, this morning,
many of the men, got an over sufficiency
of liquor. When they reached the Ameri-
can Inns pier, the desire for more liqu or
led to the running of the guard at the
dock entrance and in consequences many
men were left behind. Besides the rank
and file, captains and lieutenants stray
gled down to the pier long after the Yale
had passed the battery. All that APP
peared were sent on a tug after the
cruiser. 1t is believed that some of the
soldiers are still in the city. After the
Yale had started six sick and wounded
members of the Eighth Illinois were
found by the police on Pier Is, North
river. They were removed to the Hudson
street hospital One of the wounded
men was hurt by falling from the train.
The Yale cleared Sandy Hook bar at
8 p. M, when she was signalled from
Sandy Hook to wait for orders. She
stopped and the tug American brought
to her the soldiers who had been left be-
hind. When these men had been put
aboard thu Yale proceeded.

LEARY CALLED THE GERMAN BLUFF.

The man who represented US at Samoa,
in 1883, was Comdr. (now Captain
Richard P. Leary, better known among
his friends as ''Scrappy Dick" He is
one of the grittiest men in the navy, and
has q dec1siveness and fearlessness of
character that make him potentially a
national hero, needing only the oppor-
tunity.
Everyone remembers that little teapot
tragedy in Samoa, when the German
effort at landgrabbing was foiled by its
own smallness and timidity. There was
material for a marionette epic in the
abdication and exile of old King Malietoa,
who sacrificed everything to preserve his
people in peace and succeeded only IN
bringing on a bitter war. For Germany
deported Malietoa on a fiimsy pretext and
set up toy pretender, Tamasese, choice

Comdr. Leary represented US there with
the obsolete vessel, the Adams. His ship
was the only foreign warship in those
waters, except the German Adler. The
Adler, a much more powerful ship, was
commanded by a ca plain over-zealous in
his work and even more offensive in doing
1t than Dewey's neighbor Diedrich.
On one occasion he steamed past the
Adams with native chief tied to his

This pleased the German immensely

children and towing the war canoes of the

following epistolary vitriol was received
from the Americana
Such action, especially after the
