PENNSYLVANIA SAILED THIS
MORNING.
Soldiers are in Fine Spirits-The
Band Played Lively Airs-It was a
Gala Occasion.

With cheers and the waving of
handkerchiefs and flags. and a very
gala appearance generally, the Penn
sylvania, with the Kansas troops on
board, sailed away this morning to
Manila.
She got away from the wharf prom
pity at 10:30 o'clock. The men were
all aboard. Dozens of them had
climbed to the masthead and clung to
the rigging. Scores of them wore Teis
as souvenirs of friends and the Is
lands.
There was large crowd at the dock
to see the soldiers go. The regimen
tai band played many patriotic airs.

CUBANS TURN BANDITS.
Gnsurgent Captain and Lieutenant Rob
Man at Guantanamo.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, November

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, November 6.
An insurgent captain and lieuten-
ant have been arrested at Guantanamo
for holding up a man on the streets,
and taking away his machete, which
they afterward sold for $3.50. They
denied that there was any obligation
to pay for it, and claimed exemption
from trial and imprisonment on the
ground of their rank in the Cuban
army.
Many people are arriving here with
letters from senators. One man is
virtually appointed by Secretary AL
ger as collector of customs at Man
zanillo. He expects three times the
salary of the Cuban now holding the

FEARS HIS BROTHER Is DEAD.

Charles Knutson of Company X,
volunteer engineers, has received an
unconfirmed report that his brother,
Bernard Knutson, of Company ID,
First Montana volunteers. is dead, at
Manila. He has looked through ALI
the lists of dead published in the San
Francisco papers, but does not find
his brothers name. At the same time
he has not heard from his brother for
a long time, and he fears the worst.

THEY STRIKE AGAIN.
Galicians March Into Town for the
Second Time.

The end of the Galician trouble is
not yet. Twenty-four of the strikers
were returned by the police late yes
terday to Oahu plantation, with the
understanding that they would go to
work again This morning-,however.
they refused point blank TO go under
the lunas employed there, and were
brought back to the city. ~
The batch is now in the station
house yard and tomorrow morning
will be given an opportunity to state
their further grievances if any they
have. Failing to satisfy the court
they will be sentenced to imprison-
ment until such time as they are will
ling to return to work. This is the
law.
Judge Wilcox was engaged most of
the forenoon hearing the remainder
of the strikers. Their complaints
were similar to those filed by their
predecessors. All will undoubtedly
be overruled for the reason that the
grounds of complaint are manifestly
untenable.

Another Rumor About Commander
Going to the Coast.

Again the rumor comes from camp
that Colonel Barber will leave by the
next steamer for San Francisco to Law
request personally before the de-
partment to- have his regiment recalled
from the Hawaiian Islands. 1t APP
pears that the commander has some
such idea in view. Sickness, which
continues to increase in the compa-
nies, is said TO worry the colonel very
much.
The health situation at the camps
has grown worse and worse in the
past two days. At the hospital every
bunk in the main building and all the
tents are occupied. Bunks are now
being placed in the aisles of the main
room to accommodate the additional
tax upon the facilities. 1t is said that
over 40 per cent of the New York reg
iment is almost daily on sick report.

4 MAN OF NOTE.
Quartermaster John b. Jeffery of the
Newport.

John b. Jeffery, captain and assist
ant quartermaster, United States vol
unteers, quartermaster and commits
sary of the Newport, is one of the
best known newspaper men of the
middle west. He was for years mana
ger of the Chicago Journal and carried
it through the critical period of the
great Chicago fire. He was associat-
ed with Charles 4. Dana in the man
agement of the Chicago Republican.
just before the war broke out he
was slated as one of the American rep
resentatives at the Paris Exposition
But with the war he entered military
service. He came to San Francisco in
June just too late to go to Manila
with General Merritt. He was made
quartermaster in charge of Camp
Merritt, coming there at a time when
the death rate among $1,000 men was
eight or nine day. BY putting
floors in the tents, supplying bed tick
ing and straw, introducing "A thorough
police and sanitary system he reduc-
ed the death rate more than half. At
Camp Merriam, of which he also had
charge, with $500 men, the death
rate was only one in two or three
weeks.
He is one of the few quartermasters
who is popular with the soldiers,

TYPEWRITERS!!

In no line of mechanics is excellence
of construction of such vital import
ance as in Typewriters.
The PEERLESS is especially noted
for its durability, simplicity and its
speed.
Considering first cost only the
PEERLESS is not one of the So
called "cheap machines" but looking
at it from a business point of view,
comparing quantity and quail
ity of work, loss of time from break
downs on steamer days, when the
Typewriter is most needed, and cost
of repairs, as well as the life of the
Typewriter, the PEERLESS is with
out an equal and is the cheapest ma
chine on the market.

FRITZ RONALD ARRESTED.
His Campaign Hat Gave Him All
Sorts of Trouble.


Fritz Rowald, of +. o. Hall & Sons,
received lesson this morning that
will make his campaign hat unpopular
with him for a month to come. Dress
ed in the soldiers headgear and a suit
of blue denim he finished his work on
the Oceanic wharf and started out.
The Pennsylvania was about leaving
for Manila, however, and they were
not letting any soldiers out. The
guard at the gate held him up. Ro-
wald protested that he was n citizen.
That did not go.
Before the civilian knew where he
was at he was in charge of guard,
and being gently led aboard ship.
"We'll have no runaways from tins
vessel" affirmed the corporal, with a
nod that meant nothing less than a
court martial for the attempted deser-
ton. Rowald became shaky. But
kicking was no go. There were the
hat and the disguised uniform to give
him away. He was pushed forward to
the sergeant.
At this juncture several civilians
came up. Among them were people
the soldier knew. They identified Ro-
wald positively as a town man. After
considerable parley and investigation
the prisoner was allowed to go. The
guard who had made the arrest follow
ed him with his eyes clear down to
the custom house, and then observed
in Tennessee English "Wa'll, I'll be
cash darned."

THE INTERNATIONAL LAW n
 REGARDING GERMANY'SACT

.E
 Special Dispatch to The Age Herald.
 Washington, Aug. l6.-At the state de- partment tonight the following points were learned concerning the actions of the Ger mans in removing August and furnishing field pieces to the Spanish
 If Augusti had been removed by Spain he became private citizen and had the right to go, but under the circumstances courtesy would have demanded that the German admiral inform Dewey and Mer- ritt of his leaving. This would not be con- sdered serious breach.
 If Augusti, holding his office as captain general, desired to escape the necessity of a surrender prisoner of war to Dewey and Merritt, taking him away from the is- land was a breach of international law.
 If Augusti as military governor feared for his life and that of his family from the insurgents, he could have sought asylum with the Americans or any other nation in port, but the nation receiving him should have notified the besiegers and all other nations in the harbor in communication with Manila by American courtesy and suf- ferance. If the Germands landed arms for Spaniards or for the insurgents. they are guilty of a breach of international law, in case of the Spaniards as clearly so as against America

THE COTTON CROP.
Henry Neil, the Statistician, Makes an
 Estimate of the Output.

New Orleans, Aug 16.-Henry Neil, the cotton statistician, made public tonight the following letter to be issued tomorrow by Neil Bros in London, giving his views of the growing cotton crop:
 New Orleans, Aug 1S.-The following is an extract from the circular letter which I published dated July 2S. 1894:
 ''If each state should realize a product per acre equal to it's best previous crop, the result on the estimated acreage. would f give a crop of about 5000, 900 bales, and the promise today (2Sth July 1S9D, is equal or superior to any previous in every state.
 "The result that year was a crop com pared to best previous crop in every state and in Texas, vastly greater product per acre than any previous year and the crop turned out 9,96O,00O bales.
 Tn a circular letter published on Aug 13, 1897, stated that the promise for 1SS7- 9S was equal to any previous year in every state but Texas, that on the then esti- mated acreage, even allowing that Texas should fall short of previous maximum product per acre by a million bales, the outlook was Q3th August, 1S9O, for a crop of at least 9,75O,0OO bales, with 5G0,O00 or 1000, 900 bales more within the range of possibilities. The result this year dS97-99 is now known to be over S,OOOOOO outside of Texas, and over 100000 bales in Texas
 As regards the present growing crop, it Is apparent that the promise today is equal if not superior to that of last year at this date in every state and vastly better in Texas, which state has had weather condi- tions equal to those which produced the enormous crop of 300 pounds per acre in 1S94-95 and this product applied to the pres ent Texas acreage 6,75O,O0O including the Indian Territory, might result with equal conditions hereafter in a crop for Texas and the Indian Territory of over 4,000,00O bales, while for the other states crop equal to the past year would be over S,000,- 900 bales. I have, therefore, no hesitation in saying that the promise of today even with somewhat unfavorable conditions hereafter is for a crop of over ten and a half million bales assured, with a million and a half more within the range of pos abilities s1 ri.
 "In addition to this vast supply we shall carry over, on September 1, 1898, visible and invisible, fully one and half million more than the supply visible and invisible, ,on September l, 1S97
 '"The crop is advancing rapidly with ad- equate heat and rain and promises to be earlier than any former year with the ex- ception of 1S96-97, so that the August move ment will be large and that of September enormous" i9 sB
 In an interview today concerning the weather conditions since the above letter was written Mr. Neil said that picking as well as the August movement to market had been retarded by rain, which, however, is beneficial if not tooslong continued, 0ex- cept ir1 some portions of the alluyial lands inst1e EIississinpi valley where~the Weath7 er however, has since cleared up.

MAUD AND BESSIE
Loved Each Other Like a Man and

Aug. 16-Because of be- lief that they were unfit to live, twop girls, of whom the father of one said '"They loved each other like man and womane committed suicide today by jumping from ferry boat into the Delaware rivef They were Bessie Foust, aged 19, of Cam den, N. J., and Maud Hoffangle, aged 90, of this city. Both took the leap toitieath together and hand in hand and we're drowned before a rescue could be affected The bodies have not been recovered, } ssr
 The double suicide was evidently brear- ranged The girls had been close tassd- ciates for five or six weeks and alternated in visits to each others home, spending two and three days at a time They hHl been at the Hoffangle house since Sunday Leaving there this morning to go t0 Bes- sie's home Maud said to h/ mother .'This is the last time you will see us.''
 Mrs. Hoffangle treated the remark as jocular The young girls appeared at the ferry house of the Reading railroad about 9 o'clock in the morning. They were ap- parently cheerful and light hearted. They took the 1915 boat for Camden, but did not go ashore. While the boat was on it's way back to Philadelphia the girls pushed their way back by a deck hand and leaped over the deck together. They sank almost ina- mediately.
 A note was found in a pocketbook they left behind. It was signed Maud and Bes- sic and consisted of a quotation from a melancholy poem and the words we find we are utterly unfit for this world and will try another
