in Portland.

Boston. September 7.-Frank E., and
Charles Richards, two boys who escaped
from the training ship Alliance in Port
land harbor, Sunday night, were taken
into custody by the police here today.
The boys were found at the Allston sta
tion of the Boston q Albany road. Brigh-
ton district, and were endeavoring to get
to Albany, N. Y. At the police station
IA, the boys told Capt. Warren that they
had been ill treated and abused and
that the boys on board the Alliance were
a set of bullies.
The boys were given hearty meal and
Capt. Warren communicated with the
navy yard officials at Charlestown in
regard to them. The latter claimed that
they knew nothing of the case, and Capt.
Warren will give the boys their liberty
if nothing is heard in the meantime from
the proper authorities.
The boys say they have friends in Al
bany who will look after Them. The boys
are brothers, Frank is l6 and Charles II

GEN. WHEELFR's SON DROWNED.
He and a Young Army Lieutenant Went
Surf Bathing and Are Missing.

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, N. Y,
Sep. 7.-Thomas H. Wheeler, son Of
General Joseph Wheeler, and second
Lieut.. Newton d. kirkpatrick, first cav
airy, were probably drowned while bath
ing here this afternoon. Young Wheeler
was naval cadet in his second year. He
had been acting ON his fathers staff for
some time past. He was II years Of age,
was fine young fellow and had made
host of friends among the older officers.
Together with Lieut. kirkpatrick, he
went to the beach to enjoy the surf bath
ing. TIL e surf ran high and the under
tow was very strong. Apparently no
one saw the young men drowned and it
was not until about six o'clock that they
were missed. Their clothes were found
short distance from General Wheeler's
tent, close to the water.
Tonight detail of so men from the
first cavalry, is stationed along the coast
to watch for the bodies that may be
thrown up on shore.
While in command at Camp Wikof
General Wheeler's headquarters were lo-
Gated considerable distance back from
the water. 1t was only today that his
Headquarters were shifted down to the
beach. 1t was this change of location
that gave young Wheeler and Kirkpatrick
an opportunity to indulge themselves in
the surf. General Wheeler's three
daughters, two of whom have been act-
ing as nurses in the general hospital,
and the other as q nurse in the detention
hospital are with him, grief stricken
Tient. Kirkpatrick was from Virginia.

ESPECIAL TO THE PRESS!

Lewiston, September 1.-THE order for
mastering out the Maine batteries which
enlisted for the Spanish war and which
have been stationed at Fort PophanI
and other places in Maine has been res
yoked according to "a despatch received by
Gov. Powers who is in this city today
and they will be retained in the service.
1t is not known what will be done with
the troops but it is supposed that they
will be sent to Havana to do garr ison=
duty when the occupation Of the city by
the United States takes place.
The telegrams leading up to this crder
have been made public by Adjutant Gem
eral Richards and are as follows:
Washing ton. D. e., September 6, 1898.
TO the Governor of Maine:
1t is represented that the officers and
men of the Maine batteries are anxious
to be retained in the service. What do
you recommend?
q. C. CORBIN, Adjt. Gen.
To this Governor Powers replied:
81. G. Corbin, adjutant general Washing
ton. d. o.:
I most earnestly recommend that the
Maine batteries be retained In service.
They are fine body of men and AL deA
sire to remain, think.
LLEWELLYN POWERS,
Governor of Maine.

General Wsyler Replies to Attack on Span
ish Officers.

Madrid, Septembe 1.-THE Chamber
followed the Senate in discussing the late
war behind closed doors. This action has
caused the greatest sensation. The Sen
ate session was a stormy one.
Gen. Weyler reminded the Senate OF
how Count D'Almenas had greeted the
returning soldiers, ignoring the officers.
he declared that this was reflection up
on the officers efficiency.
'The mistakes made in Cuba are not
to be blamed upon the army" he said
"but upon the politicians at the head of
the government"
The latter, he declared were RESPONSE
ble for not sending supplies to the armies
in Cuba and Porto Ri 30 and, indeed, for
completely abandoning them.
The responsibilities for the surrender
of Santiago rested wholly upon the gov
ernment instead of Gen. Toral.
Gen. Weylsr strongly condemned the
secret sessions of the Cortes. CounU
D'Almenas replying to Gen. WeyIer's 8
structure, said:
81 addressed my greetings to those who
have been martys for their country-to
the Spanish soldiers, because they de-
served such greetings. l did not address
the generals for they showed themselves
incapable OF leading soldiers to battle or
of showing them how to fall worthily on
the field. -
Marshal Primo de Rivera shouted:
s'That it not true," and Gen. Weyler and
others Joined in the protest.
Count DAlmenas, addressing Gen.
Rivera, replied:
"I am not afraid OF such cries or of
epaulets or of the decorations that will
have to be torn off the breasts of several
officers. The seshes of some generals
should be torn off and put around their
necks.''
A great uuroar enSued.

NO MORE DAlNTIES.
A1ger Says They Breed Discomfort in the
Army.

Washington, September 7.-Secretary
Alger is now putting his affairs in shape
to admit Of his absence from Washing
ton on tour of inspection of the army
camps throughout the country. He will
leave tomorrow going / first to Camp
Meade, Pa, aud thence to Detroit. The
secretary now feels free to express views
entertained by the President and himself
respecting the plans for the treatment
of the soldiers and touching the persons
upon whom responsibility should be
placed for some Of tho matters of COM
plaint. In this connection he says:
"The regiments that have been ordered
mustered out will be mustered out. The
regiments that have been designated by
the President to remain in the service
will have to remain. AS soon as we have
mustered out 100, 900 more or less, we
shall reorganize the army-every brigade,
division and corps, and put them into
comfortable camps until such Of them as
are neaded are Withdrawn for service in
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
The men composing the army will be
treated as soldiers.
"The officers commanding regiments
and companies will be held strictly ac-
CUuuUdDl6 tlOE Uuo HaAAUdIy CUuulUlOu u
thu camps. During the war many of
these officers disregarded the specific in
structions that had been given looking
to the proper care of their men. Now it
Is time for them to take this work upon
themselves. When men are incompetent
to discharge these duties, they must give
way to competent men.
81 hope that there will be less food CIV
en- to che men from outside sources. The
dafnties are of no real help and only tend
to breed dissatisfaction where they do not
actually destroy the health of the men,
The army ration is a sound, healthful
diet.
"When regiment Is designated to be
mustered out no further appeals will be
allowed to Influence the department. to
change its programme. That order is
going to be strictly observed until the
President decides tnat he can make a
further reduction in the army. When
such reduction is made there will be no
discrimination in releasing the troops"

dousd blast of wind rushed in under the

in mass of twisted and gnarled debris,
burying the men under 1t.
During the lull that interviewed between
the first roar Of the wind and the sharp
metallic creakings of the twisted iron

wounded. The uninJured men made
rush for the shore end Of the pier and
huddled together trembling with fear.
in the large shed of the time keeper leav'
ing their fellow workmen crying for help,

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction

given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of it's remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and

At the meeting on the following day
Gen. Toral stated that he was prepared to
surrender with the approval of the captain
general of Cuba but it would require a
little time to have his acts confirmed by
the government; that in the meantime be
was prepared to appoint commissioners
to arrange the clauses of capitulation,
Not only this he offered to surrender the
balance of his command which had no
been under fire or engaged in the cam
paign. This remarkable offer was on his
own motion and was in the nature of %
surprise to the American generals present.
However, at the conference of the day
previous Gen. Miles had reminded him
that he had been offered the most liberal
terms ever given to an enemy, that his
