THIRTY PEOPLE
WERE DROWNED
By the Burning of the Steamer Monterial.
General Renhrro Was Ono
Of the Victims

New York, Sept. 3O.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Panama via Galveston
says:
By the burning Of the steamer Mon
terra, of the Columbian Transport line,
on the Magdalena river a week ago, 80
lives were lost including that of Cen
eral Renfirro, former secretary of the
treasury of Columbia and minister to
Ecuador. One of the victims was a
woman.
The Monterla left Honda, far UP the
river, on Sept II. She had splendid
weather all the way down stream until
she reached point between Ell Banco
and Magangae, two days steaming
from Barranquita. Here the disaster
occurred. The fire seems to have start
ed at night in store room between the
decks, where the cabins and salons are
located. OF the so passengers aboard,
only 20 were rescued. The rest were
either drowned or burned to ashes.
Among the victims besides General
Renfirro were Senior Gomez, promi-
nent rich man from Boyaca; Captain
Plata, who was coming down to join
the Panama garrison, and Captain Nc
guerra, commander of the Monteria. All
behaved bravely up to the last moment.
There were about $50 tons of cargo
aboard the Monteria, consisting of min
erals from Antioquia, coffee. hides and
$500, 900 in treasure. The ship was fully
insured, but will be total loss.

TERRIBLE TALES
OF SUFFERING
Many Of the Scotsman's Passengers VIII
Die Unless Immediate Re-
lief Is Sent.

Quebec, Sept. 30.-Under orders from
Captain Schrimshire, all members of
the crew OF, the Scotsman brought up
to-day by the Grecian have been held
under arrest to be searched. The Allen
liner Grecian, with AZ Of the passengers
and crew of the Inflated Scotsman, ar
rived in port to-day. These were in a
destitute condition. A lifeboat was sent
ashore and brought off about 80 of the
crew. The next boat took II passen-
gers who were at the lighthouse. Early
in the morning searching parties went
out to gather in the stragglers, but they
did not meet with great success, as
there are perhaps 40 or so still on the
island, all scattered in parties of two
or three
When the passengers and crew were
brought alongside they were so weak
they were unable to climb the ladder
and all had to be hoisted on deck
Many of them. as soon as they reached
the Grecian's deck, fell down overcome
with exhaustion and the relief of find
ing place of safety.
Captain Calvert says that never in his
life has he heard such terrible tales of
suffering or seen such p1tiable sights.
He is of the opinion that there will be
many deaths on the island unless i'm
mediate relief reaches them.

After q period of intense excitement
France seems quiescent but Spain and

SMALLPOX IN THE CAMP
Men of the Montana Regiment
Ordered Vaccinated.
CAN'T SEE THE USE OF IT
The Volunteers Pleased at the Chance
of Meeting the Oakland People
Again-Plenty OF En-
tertainment

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
San Francisco, Sept. 30.-The physical
examinations for muster out were COM
pleted to-day, but new ordeal con-
fronts the Montana volunteers to-mor-
row.
smallpox has broken out in the camp
occupied by the South Dakota regi-
ment, and as preventive against
possibilities OF the dread disease reach
Ing the Montanans, vaccination Of every
man in the regiment has been ordered.
There are now 10 actual cases of small
pox at the Preside, all of them mild ex-
cept Larrabee, and 70 men In the. camp
Of detention. 1t will be some four or
five weeks before those who have we'll
defined cases can be released from
quarantine. Eight of the 10 cases are
from the 31st infantry and the. other
two are from the South Dakota camp.
Orders have been issued for the entire
Montana regiment to be ready to SUBJ
NIT its arms to the lancet tomorrow
morning at o'clock, but as Sergeant
Heilig Segel remarks:
Its one thing to order men out and
another to get them there"
The men can't see the use OF being
vaccinated again when they were ope-
rated upon short time before they left
Manila. In many cases 1t resulted in
nothing better than giving them sore
arms and they don't care about under
going the same experience again in
such hurry.
The anxiety of the men to get home
is lessened little by the endeavor ev-
them a good time. Last night the Off
GERS of the regiment who did not avail
themselves of invitations to visit the
theaterS were entertained by the Elks.
Many of the officers are members Of
the order. Next Friday night the same
society will give another jinks in their
honor.
Colonel Kessler has sent a formal ac-
ceptance on behalf of the regiment 10
the invitation of the citizens commit
tee of Oakland to spend day as guests
of the city. The Montana boys have the
pleasantest recollections of that MEM
orable Fourth of July year ago. which
they helped the Oaklanders to cele-
brate so royalty and they will only be
too glad to meet people again who
think so much of them.
The 1st Montana regiment has been
one of the most highly honored in the
choice of officers for the new volun-
teers. It is the only one Of the state
volunteers who had colonel chosen
from it's officers, the lieutenant col
onel Colonel r. B. Wallace, having
been appointed colonel Of the 37th. Two
of their majors, Major John r. Miller
and Major Byron H. Cook, were offered
lieutenant colonelcies at Manila one in
the 18th cavalry and the other in the
36th infantry, but they both declined.
The latest promotions in the regiment
| are: Corporal Albert J. Inghram to be
sergeant of Company H, vice Sergeant
Swaney discharged; Private Charles F.
Myers to be corporal, vice Inghram, and
Private David Hanley to be corporal Of

INSURGENTS IN
THEIR STRONGHOLD
Have Evacuated Forac for Calumpit
Where They Are Strongly
Entrenched.

New York, Sept. pa dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says:
An escaped Spanish prisoner, who has
entered the American lines, says Cen
eral Mascardo, with 800 insurgents, be-
gan a retreat out of Porac yesterday
as soon as the place was attacked. He
moved to Calumpit,a mountain strong
hold. to the westward, where 1900 other
insurgents were massed and where also
the rebels have powder works.
-Four prisoners from the captured
American gunboat Unadaneta were in
Porac and were taken to Calumpit by
the retreating enemy. The five other
men of -he crew We're killed.
Letters regarding the return of the
American prisoners now in the Phil
ippines are passing both ways. A flag
Of truce will probably be sent in at
once. It is possible that Lieutenant
Gilmore and his boats crew of the
Yorktown will be among those surren-
