TROOPS SUFFERED
Men Die En- Route From
Honolulu to Manila.
All the Voyage Fire In Morgan City's
Coal Bunkers - Intense
Heat Of Sun.

NEW YORK, August 9.-The World
advices from Manila, dated August 4th.
by steamship to Hongkong August 9th,
say: The third Philippine expedition
is here. twenty-five days out from Ho-
nolulu. Never did an expedition en-
counter more dangers or endure more
perils. On the voyage six men and one
officer died and fifty more were taken
sick. Typhoid and meningitis played
havoc on the transports. Two firemen
went insane and leaped overheard.
But a fire on one OF the ships was the
worst peril OF all.
The dead at sea were:
Ralph Bowers, Signal Corps, Of Los
Angeles, died July Goth.
Ernest Bower, Wyoming Battalion,
died on July 10Th.
Frederick auckland, Thirteenth Min
nesota, OF st. Paul.
Lieutenant II. Kerr OF the Engineers
West Virginia, died July 2lst.
stephen Roddy, Twenty-third In
fantry, of Dallas, Tex. died July 14th
w. ID. Kelley, fireman, Of San Fran
cisco, died July 18th.
John Stockville, fireman, San Fran
cisco, died July 18th.
The fleet OF transports and their con-
voy, the monitor Monterey, were three
days out from Hawaii when fire was
detected aboard the transport Morgan
City. One Of the crew reported to Cap
tain Dillon that there was n blaze in
the coal bunkers. Get out the hose"
whispered the captain to the first mate.
At midnight, wnen all the troops were
asleep, Captain Dillon assembled the
crew and told them the news. Every
man was pledged to secrecy. The next
morning the fire was as fierce as ever.
The heroic crew fought the flames
night and day and still the troops knew
nothing of the fire.
The Morgan City fell OF in speed
and the whole fleet was delayed. Cap
tain Dillon did not signal the flagship.
He kept his men at work fighting the
flames in the bunkers, while the troops
went about on deck all unconscious Of
their peril. The bunkers were still
burning when the Morgan City arrived
here. Then for the first time the
troops learned Of their danger. The
flames We're eXtinguished after the
ship had been in port few hours.
On board the Morgan City were GOO
men OF the Idaho volunteers and a de-
tachment of Nebraska volunteers.
The next most interesting incident
of the voyage was the sight of the ac-
tive volcano Frallon de Pajaros. The
ships passed 1t on the night of July
23d, when it was in full operation.
The stores of the ships were care
lessly packed at San Francisco. and
about $1,000 pounds OF fresh beef were
spoiled on the Indiana and several
thousands pounds more on the other
transports.
For 1000 miles the heat was intense
and singing. The ships steamed along
the twentieth parallel OF latitude on a
sea like glass, with n temperature in
the 9Os. The breeze was easterly and
did no good. The heat moderated on
July Goth, when Cape Engano was
sighted, by the cooling breezes from
the China sea. The fleet received Q
great welcome In Manila bay from the
war ships under Admiral Dewey, and
another from the transports there, and
third from the troops ashore. The
sick are improving rapidly.

Well Merited.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Through the columns
Of cur county paper (the Old Reliable)
| would ask the privilege of saying a
word, commendatory of our friend and
citizen, r. j. lizard, and his mode of
doing business. On the Sd OF last
month tNovember) he issued to me a
policy on my barn and contents, in the
German American Insurance Co., of
New York, indemnifying me against
loss by fire for twelve months; on the
9th, only three days later. my barn and
contents were totally destroyed by fire:
In ten days afterwa rds my losses were
adjusted, and before the end of the
month a check for every dollar that
could possibly claim. under the terms
Of the policy, and fair and equitable
adjustment was paid to me.
Now / consider this pretty quick
work when all of the Insurance compa-
qies reserve to themselves the right OF
sixty (60) day time limit before set
tling. should they wish to claim it.
Mr.. lizard IS one of our local agents,
and represents some very strong and
wealthy companies, but none better
han the German-Arl'srican of New
York. l am strong advocate of In
surance now. There is nothing quite
so soothing to your dist nrbed feelings
after Il burn as check to reimburse
YOU for your losses. A burn has the
tendency to cover ipan, he feels
humiliated and desola te, but the
promptness and fairness with which
my losses were adjusted and the help
received in replacing property de,
stroyed, makes me feel that can freely
aud heartily recommend Mr.. lizard and
the companies with whom ne is associ
led. Thanks, Rich ard.
