HAD GREAT PLENTY.
Troops at Honolulu Didn't
Suffer at All.
New York Troops Kicked Because They
Wanted to Go Home.
Porto Rican Evacuation Commission Thanked
by President-War News.

Washington, Oct. 19.-The follow
ing is an extract from a letter
written to a high officer in the
army, from Captain Philip NJ. Lydig,
commissioner of subsistence, regard
ing the supplies at Honolulu:
October 1st-The steamer brought
the troops at Camp Mckinley here
have written home that they are be-
ing starved, etc. l can assure you
that this branch of the subsistence de-
partment has always had on hand a
proper supply of subsistence stores.
The contract allows the troops to take
either beef or mutton. Both the beef
and mutton are of good quality and in
every way satisfactory. Rations are
issued to the troops at camp and they
have never made complaint and the
officers as well as the men say they
are well supplied, and in fact get more
than they can eat.'
"The fact of the matter is that the
LIST New York Volunteers and the eng
ineers are anxious to go home and
therefore write these letters to their
friends to excite their sympathy. AL
though the LIST New York had been in
the service since May /, they did not
know how to use their rations proper
ly, the food often was bad cooked.
and the company commanders did not
pay proper attention to their COM
mands. The commissary officers, 1st
Lieut. WILDER Vossler, LIST New York
Volunteers, always received all he was
entitled to. With very few exceptions
these men wanted to go home, and
that is the whole trouble. Col. Bar
Der, who commands the 1st New York,
says that his regiment is getting on
very we'll at present He said, last
Saturday. that they had everything
they wanted. and the complaints of
the men-of which he had heard only
through the newspapers in the east
must be for the purpose of exciting
sympathy. l am very glad that 1 can
write you this. so that you can meet
any statement with the real facts"

HON. GEORGE A. JENKS.

In speaking of the nomination of
Hon. George A. jerks for Governor
by the Democratic convention at
Altoona last week, the Philadelphia
Record says:
The Democrats of Pennsylvania,
in convention assembled Wednesday
at Altoona, did precisely the thing
they should have done. They con-
sidered only the names of candidates
who were fit for the Governorship,
and they nominated one of the
strongest men in the State, and put
him on a platform which has not a
dishonest line in it.
If the State had been searched,
there could not have been found in
the ranks of either or any of the
parties man better capacitated
than George A. jerks to sit in the
Executive chair at Harrisburg and
bring order out of the confusion and
corruption which hold sway there.
He is able. He is honest. He is
incorrupt and incorruptible. He is
ripe in years and judgment. He has
a clear record, private and public,
to fall back upon. 1t does no other
man i'll Pennsylvania injustice to
say that the State has not a more
distinguished nor more deserving
citizen than George A. jerks.
The platform fits the candidate
like glove. The Democrats in
making it did not deny their De-
mocracy ; but they refused to con-
slider their differences. They put
behind them their quarrels over
Federal issues, their past prefer
ences for particular measures and
particular men, and considered only
the shameful condition of the affairs
of the State and the means of 1em-
edy. The platform appeals to the
honor and manhood of every self
respecting citizen, no matter of what
party or persuasion. 1t is explicit
in what it condemns; and equally
explicit in what it promises. II
there be any disposition on the part
of discontented and disgusted Re-
publicans to put an end to the NAL
administration which distresses and
disgraces the State the way has
been opened to them. Their appeal
to their Democratic fe1low-citizens
has not been made in vain.
The struggle in the convention
| was practically ended when the
candidate for Governor had been
named and the platform adopted
but the completed ticket adds
strength and acceptability. The
Record gives ticket and platform its
cordial Endorsement. Whether OF
not the Democrats shall win, they
deserve success.

Congress to Adjourn After Hawaiian Vote

Washington, July 6.-The statement
is made with posii!veness now that
Congress will adjourn within three
days after the passage by the Senate
of the Hawaiian annexation resolu-
ton.
There is no important business left
for Congress to transact. Only the big
general deficiency bill remains, but the
confrerees are almost agreed on it and
it will soon be disposed Of.
Good reasons exist for an adjourn
ment. There has been abundant legis-
lation for the successful conduct of the
war, and neither the president nor the
department expect to ask for further
authority in connection with military
and naval movements against Spain.
II the war comes to an end before De-
cember the preliminary negotiations for
peace must be conducted by the execu-
tive. Should it be necessary to con-
clude a treaty before December the
president can at any time call the SEN
ate together.

Washington, July Ga cabinet Off
Ger after the cabinet meeting yesterday
denied in the most positive manner the
reports from Santiago that after the
fall of that place Admiral Simpsons
fleet would attack Havana.
He stated that such was not the in
tention and that the next move would
be on Porto Rico, and that when that
island was taken the attack upon the
Spanish coast would follow.
Officials at the navy department, be-
fore this authoritative statement was
made, gave little credence to the report
from Santiago. They said that the war
board decided these matters, and not
Admiral Sampson, and that the inten-
tion to attack Porto Rico after Santa
go had fallen had never been chang
ed

Ice. Bound Newfoundland Ports.

Montreal, July ga correspondent
writes from st. Johns, N. F.: This
year has been unprecedented in regard
to the enormous quantities of Arctic
ice that beset the northeastern shores
of the island up to the end of June.
All the northern bays have been filled
with ice through which no steamer
could penetrate. Craft bound for La
brador were obliged to take refuge
where they could and walt for weeks
for. an ff-shore wind to clear away the
ice. In White Bay and other places peo-
pie were in danger of actually dying
from starvation, and 1t is feared that
when news from these localities is re-
ceived sad tales will be told.
