order to a man named Poge, waiter in
the stewards department. Poge struck
the captain twice with his fist. Some Of
the other officers went to The captains as
sistance. and Poge was put in irons. He
and MacGoveran, who had been making
Nreats. it is alleged, Were at once turned
over to the sheriff of Suffolk county. The
captain made a search of the vessel. and
found in wine locker about thirty bottles
of wine and whisky, which were the re-
mains of the full supply with which the
ship started from New York.
The secreting of these beverages was not
the only glaripg fault on the part of the
steward, according to the statement of the
officers. The ship was not far from San
tiago when ten thousand pounds of beef
had to be thrown overheard because Of
careless refrigeration, due to the alleged
neglect of the steward and his men.
Yesterday afternoon James Keaton, a
seventeen-year-old boy from Buffalo, who
was employed in some capacity on the
ship, fell down the rear hatchway while
the ship was at dock. It seems that one
of the officers had ordered the removal of
a ladder that had been used by the men to
go below. and when it was taken away the
protecting chain was not fastened properly
The boy swung his foot over to where he
supposed ./lle ladder was, and fell about
ten feet, his ribs striking a heavy kettle
He was taken, In a badly bruised conai-
tion and internally injured, 70 the Long
Island College Hospital.

Late Thursday afternoon Deputy Sheriff

Late Thursday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Wells of Suffolk county went before United
with two men from the Minnewaska, who
are believed to be the steward and the first
cook. and asked that they be confined in
Jail pending the filing of charges of insub-
ordination and threatened assault against
them. The deputy sheriff had only letter
from the captain setting forth the facts,
and Commissioner Morle was unable to
Issue warrant in the absence of a sworn
statement. The deputy next took the men
before Commissioner Shields. but he re-
fused TO act because of lack of jurisdic-
tfon. 1t is not known where the deputy
sheriff next went with his prisoners.
The Minnewaska will go to Charleston
en- Monday afternoon, and load again with
supplies for Santiago.

Goveran, and not only his name. but his
love for whisky would indicate, the Off
GERS of the vessel say. that he is a Scotch
man. He was installed as steward just
before the transport started for the south

been the Persia of the Atlantic Transport

when 1t was turned over to the United

went aboard TO take charge of her. One OF
the first questions he asked was whether
there was any liquor or wine aboard, and
the steward said positively that there was
nothing of that sort except what had come
aboard with the army supplies.

GERS of the steamship and the stewards de-
partment came when the Chef Louis Mer-
cier, assaulted Third Officer Cooper with a
meat cleaver for giving him a perfectly
proper order. This happened on the morn

later Anthony Rupert, the second cook
was put in irons for insubordination. but
as his case was not quite so bad he was
put to work forward, after being docked
three days pay. One of the soldiers was
then installed as cook, but the twenty men
in the stewards department kept on in the
same old way. and half of them were fined
from time to time.
On the third day from Santiago the gov
ernment supplies of liquor and wine gave

at noting considerable drunkenness there

The stewards department went wrong
from the start. the officers say. The stew
ards and cooks were intoxicated at inop-
perfume times, and were i1solent and to-
tally without knowledge Of how to manage
such department on a ship. Before San
tiago was reached one of the assistant
stewards had to be taught what his place
was by being threatened with irons.
At Santiago Major Wilson, Surgeon w.
r. Lee, Patrick H. Cooper, third officer of
the vessel, and other went on the wreck of
the Reina Mercedes. Mr.. Cooper rescued
the pennant from the side rail- which was
under water. This pennant fioated from
the mainmast of the Minnewaska when
she entered New York harber yesterday.
The troops that were taken on the Min
newaska at Santiago were a squadron of
the I'd Cavalry, a battalion of the District
of Columbia Volunteers. a battalion of the
33d Michigan Volunteers, the balloon de-
tachment of the Signal Corps and a de-
tachment of artillery.
The 100 men did their own cooking. and
it must be written to the credit of Major
Wilson that it was declared by the inspect
ors at Montauk that no other transport
had reached there with the men in such
good condition. But the forty officers
complained loudly and perpetually because
of the glaring ignorance and incompetence
OF the stewards department.

BEAR CREEK PROMISING.
A Good Outlook in This Promising District
from Newly Discovered Saving
Process.

Colonel Jas. H. Collins, the well
known mining operator and ranchinan,
was a passenger on yesterdays d. & R.
q. train. He was EN- route to the Bear
Creek district in the extreme north
western portion of New Mexico, where
his company, the Syndicate Gold MIN
ing company, has been making expert
ments with a new process that promises
to be potent factor, star number in
fact. among the growing galaxy of dis
coveries for getting all the mineral
there is in any kind of ores and leaving
no valuable tailings.
Bear Creek is on the crest of the
divide, so that the water from the Syn
dcate company's tunnel practically
marks the origin of a stream running
east, while but short distance away
starts a creek that eventually reaches
the Pacific Ocean. Local development
work has been fairly active, in one
claim the development work having been
9,50O feet in a comparative short time.
The Syndicate people are justly expect
ant over the promises of Bear Creek
district. The ores are of the Sylvanite
variety and smelt readily. Colonel Col
Inns is largely interested in wheat
ranching as well as mining, and has ex-
tensiye holding in the great San Luis
wheat districts He said the output of
the valley had ranged as high as go
bushels to the acre and would one day
be one of the greatest wheat sections in
the world. He has been in Colorado and
New Mexico for 20 years.

CAPTAIN CLARK'S DECLARATION.
He Thinks That Spanish Admiral Oervera
Made Serious Mistake in Abandon
ing Santiago HarbOr.

New York, Aug 26.-'Admiral Ger
vera should have stayed in Santiago
harbor forever. rather than to have
come out the way he did," was the sol
emn remark of Captain Clark, lately of
the battleship Oregon.
''The fleet was a fortress. With his
guns he could have driven the United
States army from the shore until it
could mount ten-inch guns to sink the
ships. He was master of the situation,
should have hung on until every men,
ber of his ships crew died of starvation.
Then he would have been real hero
and would thereby figure in history"
Captain Clark is at the marine hos
pital, where he proposes to rest until
his family arrives from Michigan. He
is merely suffering from temporary
ailment, brought on by low fever and
long continued sea diet.
'sWh;u are the lessons of the Santiago
iight?" Was asked.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. PrNKHAM.1


A woman with the blues is very un.
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
1.-THE blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications OF disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass. to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of q
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. F. s. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol.
lowing letter:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
q weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, l wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
81 am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than I
have had for the past ten years.
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"

fire revolvers as they retreated without
doing any more damage.
The same night some soldiers doing
guard duty saw large party OF natives

A boat with an armed force put off
from the shore, and the sailors hailed
the natives, who failed to answer. Then
the soldiers fired volley killing and
