THEY HAD A ROCKY TRIP
Reports From the First Montana
at Honolulu.
PRAISE FOR COL. WALLACE
He Made the Trip as Pleasant a. Posi-.

Coming Concerning Food and
Conduct OF Kessler.
peciaI Dispatch TO the Standard

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
San Francisco, Aug. 13.-To-day
brought to this city the first advices
from the expedition bound for Manila
OF which the 1st Montana regiment was
a part. Details are lacking, but
it appears that no serious mis-
haps befell individuals belong
ing to the regiment during the trip. Ac-
cording to accounts received, however,
in some respects the men had a pretty
rocky trip. Reports received in this
city say that the second day out from
San Francisco the Montana men
threatened to throw Lieut.. Alfred Sea-
forth of the commissary department, 1st
Montana, overheard, and the officers
were compelled to gather around him
and protect him from that time until
the ship reached Honolulu. The officers
wore their side arms.
The men complained of the incom-
potency of Colonel Kessler. and say
that he kept to his stateroom through
out the entire voyage, coming on deck
on but two or three occasions
For Lieutenant Colonel Wallace. the
soldiers had only words of praise. They
say he did everything in his power to
make the lot of the troops as pleasant
as possible. and it was through his ef-
forts alone that much better food was
served. The only vegetables given out
during the long run to this port were
onions, yet the lifeboats were stored fun
of cabbage that rotted en- route and was
tossed overheard here.
According TO all information received
here, there was an impressive evidence
daily of Kessler's unpopularity in tha
shape of public slight. Every evening
after retreat the men gave three cheers
for Lieutenant Colonel Wallace-not a
murmur for the colonel. Guards were
put over the water tanks the second day
out. and they lined up for one drink
of water every day. They were not al
lowed to carry any away in a cup or
bottle, but had to drink what they want
ed at the time of the lineup. Only four
times in nine days was bread or biscuit
furnished. Such treatment made many
of the boys talk of leaving the ship and
taking to the hills.

STILL A MYSTERY.
The sender of the Poisoned Candy to Mrs.
Dunning IL Unknown.

Dover, Del. Aug. 13.-The identity Of
the person who sent the box of poisoned
candy to Mrs. ]. p. Dunning. which
caused the death of the recipient as
well as that of her sister. Mrs. J. ID.
Deane. is still a mystery. although
strenuous efforts are being made to To-
cate the donor. Ii is the general be-
lief that the candy was not sent with
the intention of poisoning the recip-
tents, but II is thought II became stale
on the way and that poison was gen.
Grated In the bonbons. The candy was
in a plain white box.
DR.. Bishop. who has been continually
in attendance on the patient, is OF the
opinion that Mrs. Deane and Mrs. Dun
ming died of heart disease induced by
some unknown poisonous substance.
Both suffered in the same manner.
When they became III they were at
tackled with vomiting spells. Ii was
thought an autopsy on the bodies OF the
victims might reveal the cause OF the
poisoning. but DIR. Bishop Is of the opin-
Ion that the vomiting had been so great
that nothing to examine was left in
the stomachs, and the idea has been
abandoned. All hopes are based on the
analysis of the candy. John Penning-
ton, the father OF Mrs. Deane and Mrs.
Dunning, is prostrated by the terrible
affair. The five other victims OF the
poisoned candy viii recover.

WORK IN CUBA.
Plenty Of Problems for the United States
to solve.

New York. Aug. 13.-The Times this
morning prints the following: General
Tomas Estrada Palma. delegate at
large OF the Cuban republic. talking OF
the peace protocol and the steps that
would be taken by the Cuban govern
ment, said:
The first thing TO be done by the
Cuban patriots in America after the
blockade has been raised will be to send
relief to the surviving Cubans in the
field. Money that would otherwise
have been spent in purchasing guns
and ammunition will be spent in food
and clothing for the Cuban soldiers and
their families. Relief will be sent inn
mediately with the consent of the
American government. Another thing
that viii be looked after Is the release
OF those Cubans who have been de-
ported from Cuba and sent to Spanish
prisons. / shall urge that the WASH
ington authorities secure the release OF
these prisoners.
'As far as the present government oe
Cuba is concerned, the leading men OF
that government, from President Masso
down, have implicit confidence in the
declaration that the United States gov
ernment went to war not for the ac-
QUESTION OF Cuba. but to free the ISL
and of the Spaniards. 1t may be that
in years to come the Cubans may OF
their own volition request this country
TO annex Cuba. but that is not for the
present. Whether the present govern
ment OF Cuba will be recognized now is
no matter. The Cubans do not wish to-
embarrass the Washington authorities
and have no doubt that which Is done
Is for the best.
1T may take several months for the
Spanish government to remove its sol-
diers from the islands. After the Span
ish soldiers have gone away there will
be left only about 10000 Spaniards-
Many OF these might renounce al
legiance to the Spanish government.
But, assuming that there should re-
main 100000 Spaniards, that Is a small
number in comparison with the LOO 900
native Cubans. While the Spanish
troops are being removed. / think that
the United States government would be
wise in consulting unofficially the
wishes of the regular native popula-
tion. The United States provisional
government can do much strengthening
what the Cubans feel already for the
United States for having freed them
from the Spanish yoke. In what way
the United States should try TO gee
the opinion of the people of Cuba,
whether by popular election or other
wise. is one of the problems which IL
what way the American government
goes about IL, il will always find the ma
tive Cubans not only willing but snx-
ious TO help the Americans in the solu-
tion OF the problem"
