MANY PERILS.
Fire Ragged i'm One of the Transport Ships
of the Third Philippine Expedition
for Several Days.

new YORK, Aug. IA dispatch to
the World from Manila Bay, August 4,
via Hong Kong, says:
The third Philippine expedition is
here, % days out from Honolulu. New
err did an expedition encounter more
dangers or endure more perils. On
the voyage six men and one officer died
and so more were taken sick. Typhoid
and meningitis played havoc on the
transports. Two fremen went insane
and leaped overheard. But fire was
the worst peril of all
The fleet of transports and their con-
voy, the monitor Monterey, were three
days out from Hawaii when fire was
discovered aboard the transport Nor
gan City. One of the crew reported to
Capt. Dillon that there was blaze in
the coal bunkers.
"Get out the hose" whispered the
captain to the first mate.
At midnight. when all the troops
were asleep, Capt Dillon assembled
cry man was pledged to secrecy. To
let the soldiers know that they were
over raging fire, would be to precipi-
tate a panic.
Silently the men coupled on the hose
and the steam pipes. Then they be-
gan battling the flames in the hold.
Next morning the fire was as fierce as
ever. Night and day the heroic crew
fought the fire, but with little success.
And still the troops did not know that
a fire was burning beneath their feet.
The Morgan City fell off in speed
and the whole fleet was delayed. Capt
Dillon did not signal the flagship. He
kept his men at work fighting the
fla mes in the bunl1ers. while the troops
went about on deck all unconscious of
their peril
The bunkers We're still burning when
the Morgan City arrived here. Then
| for the first time the troops learned OF
their danger. The flames were eX-
tinguished after the ship had been in
| port few hours.
On board the Morgan City were COO
men OF the Idaho volunteers and de-
tachment of Nebraska volunteers.
The next most interesting incident
of the voyage was the sight of the act
i've volcano Faralcon de Pajaros. The
ships passed it on the night of July .;
when it was in full operation. A
column of flame mounted far into the
air and illumined the sea. The men
crowded the rails and enjoyed the
spectacle until it sank beneath the
horizon, leaving only a pillar of flame
mirrored in the clouds.

The Annexation of Texas.

The annexation of Texas brought on
the Mexican war. That brought large
addition to our territory. 1t was
necessary TO settle the question of
slavery in the annexed territory. and
this opened the slavery question anew.
Both of the old parties were after
awhile sp;i: asunder by the debate, and
the question of slavery or no slavery in
the territories became the leading
issue in our politics. In 16 years from
the annexation of Texas, this chain
Of causes had plunged the country into
the most tremendous civil war in the
history of The world. In just 20 years
the war had ended in the entire aboli
ton of slavery i'll the United States.
Thus, the annexation of Texas brought
about unforeseen results and changed
the history of the continent.

Their and provide some of the luXuries
of life. Doing an encampment is at
best tiresome work. In other cities
it has been no uncommon sight to see
well-dressed people sitting on the curb
stones to rest their weary limbs. In
this city committee of which w. C..
johnson, grand army veteran, is
chairman, will provide places of rest
for men and women, separately, on
nearly every square in the heart of the
city. All vacant storerooms will be
converted into comfortable quarters
with profusion of chairs and cots
and a liberal supply of ice water.
These places will be plainly marked so
that anyone who becomes tired on the
sidewalk can look forward or back
ward and find one within his view. In
these retreats the old soldiers can sit
down and read or write. or can take a
nap Oh one of the cots. The places
of rest for the ladies will be in the
churches in the downtown districts.
They will be fitted up with all the
equipments that tend to bring COM
fort to a weary woman.
The one ambition of the people of
Cincinnati is to send the old soldier

came, and satisfied with their enter

other cities being taken into considera-
ton. For the past six months these
so men have been in constant training
for detectives. Cincinnati has an I'M
usually complete rogues' gallery, where
pictures of every noted criminal in the
country and many from abroad are to
be found. Cincinnati was also one of
the first American cities to adopt the
Bertillion system of identifying Grim
inals, Chief Deitsch being to-day at the
head of the national Bertillion system.
With these two ample records of rogues'
make-ups to study, the so picked men
are to-day experienced detectives at
least in that part of the art of picking
out criminals, which is so essential at
large gathering. These so men
added to the already large pres
ent force were placed under
the direct charge of Chief of De-
tectives Larry Hazen. The force is now
we'll organized, and at least week be-
fore the encampment they will be sta
toned at all the depots, hotels and on
frequented thoroughfares to intercept
such members of the light-fngered
gentry as may venture to Cincinnati to
ply their nefarious trade. With such a
well-organized force of detectives to
come in contact with, it is safe to say
that few of those who do yield TO the
temptation to visit Cincinnati the first
week in September will remain in the
city long after learning the exhaustive
preparations made for their capture.
The force of patrolmen will also be
greatly augmented and will include all
private watchmen of the city. These
1nen are also receiving special weekly
instructions to put them in readiness
for the encampment work. 1t is safe
to say that at least 1000 patrolmen
and detectives will be on duty 20 guard
the hundreds of thousands of visitors
expected from all parts of the coun-
try.
In addition to this general police
protection arrangements have been
made to extend special protection to
the veterans who will occupy free
quarters in the school buildings of the
city. Two special officers will be as
signed TO each building, each stand
ing watch IL hours. They will be un-
der the supervision of an officer of the
day for each building. The usual plan
of protecting the public on the day OF
the big parade by stretching wires on
/ both sides of the streets over which
the veterans will march will be fol
lowed in this civ To 0ccOmOliSh all
this requires no little expenditure OF
money and $4,000 has been set aside
by the city authorities for arranging
for these special protective features.
From this $4,000 also will be pro
yided an elaborate system of sanitary
regulations for public comfort. The
board of city affairs, having in mind

alike, viii establish in all sections OF

Cincinnati Seems to Have Solved a
Great Problem.

Especial Cincinnati CO.. letter.
.FHE thirty-second national

ETHE thirty-second national en-
campment of the Grand Army
of the Republic promises to be
replete with interesting features.
Four hundred of Cincinnati's leading
citizens have been engaged since last
winter planning and preparing these
features.
Not the least interesting is the police
preparations. Cincinnati's police
force is recognized the country over
as having attained an unusually high
degree of proficiency. The city's repu-
tation in that respect is not eXcelled
by any other city in the country. For
many years Col. Philip Deitsch, an old
soldier, has been at the head of the po-
lice force of Cincinnati. Years of
tatient and earnest endeavor on his
part, encouraged by the support of a
nonpartisan police board have enabled
him to reach present results.
AS soon as it was known that the
1898 encampment was to come to Gin
cinnati, Chief Deitsch began planning
for year hence, He recognized the
fact that the city's present force, while
ample protection in ordinary times,
was not sufficient to cope with the
large crowds to be found at every en-
campment. Not in years has an en-
campment been held at which Cincin-
rati did not have at least three or four
detectives to assist the department
IL the encampment city. These eX-
perienced men Chief DeiTsch decided
to make the nucleus around which

tnief-takers to work in conjunction

RIVER DISASTER IN ALASKA.
The Steamer Jesse v. Founders in the
KuskOtawin River, in Terrible
StOrm-Several Lives Lost.


SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 11.-Further
details state there were Is persons on
the river steamer Jesse ", of the
Columbian Exploration Co., which
foundered in the Kuskotawin river,
Alaska, during a severe storm July 2S.
1t is thought all were lost The steam
err at the time of the disaster had in
tow the barge Minerva load with sup
plies.
The news of the disaster was brought
to the headquarters of the Alaska
Commercial Co. by Indians, who had
found the loaded barge belonging to
the party partly wrecked. The In
dams assert that the steamer found
cred and that all of her party persisted
in the storm that swept down on them
before they were we'll into the river,
and only a few hours after they had
left the steamer Lakme on which they
had gone north. The Indians confs-
Gated the supplies.
The party consisted of the following

Seattle, Wash; o. E. Aroid, Seattle,
Wash; Doc Allen. Kentucky; Rev. r.
Weber, Moravian missionary, wife and
child; two Indian guides.
The expedition was composed of
number of well to do young men of
Kentucky and Tennessee families, who
joined the others in Seattle. They
were furnished with the steamer Jes-
sic and the barge Minerva by Richard
Chilcott, of this city. There were no
marine men in the party.
Capt. Murphy, of Rowling Green,
KY, got his license after coming here
and it is said he commanded a steamer
before.

and had formerly worked on a rail-
road locomotive.
The party left Seattle May 81 on the
steam schooner Lakme. The Jessie
was strongly built stern wheel boat,
so feet long and Az beam. She had
powerful engines. She had a low
deck house, with a small pilot house
on top. The barge was an open af-
fair, to be used to carry supplies.
Both the Jessie and the Minerva
were securely dashed to the deck of the
barge Admiral, which was tQwed by
the Lakme At Good News bay the
boats were put into the water and on
June % were ready to start up the
river They left at 10 o'clock and by
o'clock were out of sight of the Lakme
which proceeded to st. Michaels The
rest of the story comes from the In
dians.
The mouth of the Kuskotawin, like
that of many other Alaskan rivers. is
very wide, and with the wind from a
proper direction gets exceedingly
rough. A storm came up before the Jes-
sic and tow reached a safe anchorage.
A few days later the Indians found the
barge partly wrecked on the north
shore of the river. A few days later
they found hastily constructed raft.
Nothing was seen or heard of steamer
or passengers. All are believed TO
have been lost.
Capt. Chilcott, who Quilted the
party and built the boat, has not yet
given up hope. He believes the pas
sengers will yet turn mp. as the Jessie
was built especially strong to &C

the city special places of comfort,for
men and women.
The care of visitors will not be con-
fined to their protection from fellow
creatures. Special pains will be taken
to minister to the physical wants, par
ticu!arly Of the veterans. There is now
organized a medical staff, consisting
of more than 300 reputable Cincinnati
physicians, who will devote their time
and talent encampment week to treat
ing sick visitors. This staff has been
organized by DR.. j. e. Culbertson, edi-
tor Of the Lancet and Clinic. He is
an old soldier and a member of the
grand army, and all the ranking mem
bers of his staff are physicians who
saw active service as surgeons in the
war of 81 to '65. These physicians will
be uniformed and each will be pro-
vided with a special medicine bag con-
tanning remedies which are of value
in cases of sudden illness.
The bags and medicine were pre-
sented to DR.. Culbertson by a prom
inent Philadelphia drug house, as a
compliment to him. To make the work
of these 300 physicians practical and
effective the city will be Distracted and
each physician will be assigned to a
certain district. One physician will
also be assigned to each school build
ing where veterans are quartered, and
will make a daily visit to see If his
services are needed. These men will
look after the general health of the
old soldiers. Another. division of the
medical corps will be assigned to
points at which large crowds are like
ly to gather, the desire being to have
medical or surgical aid always instant
ly available. Accordingly some ply
sicians will be assigned to COney
Island, the Lagoon, Chester park and
other Of the pleasure resorts. On the
boats plying to and from Coney island
still other physicians will be stationed.
On Thursday night. when the fireworks
display will be given at three different
parts of the city simultaneously, a
number Of physicians will be scattered
through the crowd. Their uniforms
will be of such a nature as to plainly in
dictate their calling.
The efforts of the citizens of Gin
cinnati along this line will not, how
ever, be confined to necessities. Be-
side the protection afforded by the
police and the physicians. a committee
