Ghurkaa and Flvinr Fish.

Three men of the Fifth Ghurkas

guides-one with Lieutenant Bruce in
the early ZOOS. and the others with Sir
Martin Conway in 1894. GoOd-tem-

they became general favorites wherever
they went. They. on their part.
thoroughly appreciated the kindness
with which they were treated, and
their wonderful and delightful exper.
fences in Europe still afford an end
less topic of conversation. The little
Himalayans were intensely interested
in everything they saw, the sea and
the ships proving a source OF delight.
Flying fish, however, they could not
at all understand. To such great
weilders of the rod this mode Of piscine
locomotion seemed most improper.
One of these fish having fallen on board
of the ship, was Immediately pounced
upon by Karbir and Amar Sing. Be-

Washington, Aug. l6.-The secre-
tary of war this afternoon issued the
following appeal to the governors of
states for aid for the storm sufferers
in Porto Rico:
"Sif: l enclose herewith copies of
two Geographic dispatches received last
evening from the encouragement Of
Porto Rico, by which it appears that
the devastation wrought by the recent
hurricane in that island is even greater
than was at first supposed. 1t is evil
dent that great multitude of people
are rendered utterly destitute by this
awful calamity, and must he fed and
cared for during considerable period
until they can have the opportunity to
produce food for themselves. Enorm-
Gus quantities of supplies of the kind
Indicated by the governor-general must
be procured.
! "The magnitude of the work to be
accomplished leads this department to
supplement the appeal already made
to the mayors Of the principal cities of
the country by a more general appeal,
and a beg you to ask the people Of
your state to contribute generously to
the relief of the people of Porto Rico.
Swift steamers have been provided to
leave the port of New York to carry
/ the supplies directly to Porto Rico az
rapidly as they can be collected.
"Contributions should be either in
supplies of the character indicated, or
in money, in order that the supplies
can be purchased. The supplies should

Five More Regiments.

New York, Aug. ia special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Orders are expected within few days
directing the organization of five new
volunteer regiments for the Philippines.
While final decision on the matter OF
enlisting still more troops has not yet
been made, the fact that Secretary
Root ia already considering the ques-
ton of officers for the regiments indi-
Gates the strong probabilities that they
will be organized. The secretary is ex-
tremely anxious to get good officers and
as he cannot examine each individual
record, he has decided to place the re-
sponsibility on the governors OF the
states.

Manila, Aug. ia force of United

northeast of Malolos, and from Bali

northeast of Quingua, encountered a
body of 500 insurgents about halfway
between Bustus and Quingua. In the
engagement that ensued. the Filipinos
were severely punished and scattered.
The Americans lost one killed.
The insurgent force is believed to
have been under the command Of Gen.
eral Pho del Pillar, and to have had in
view the tearing up of the railway at
Bocave and Gigaa. about three miles
from Buiacan. A battalion of the
Twenty-first infantry will be sent to
those points this afternoon to strength

The doctors inform US that alum is a

should be avoided because they make
the food unwholesome. Prominent

MUCH WISDOM; LITTLE GOLD.
Uncle Sans Vessels Garry People Home
From Cape Nome.


From Cape Mono.
San Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE steam
er Albion has arrived here. Is days
from Cape Nome. She reports that
100 people. men and women, without
food and means, were picked up on the
Kotzebue beach by the revenue cutter
Bear and taken to St. Michael.
On the Albion were eight passengers
who had passed most of the winter in
Kotzebue. picked up enough dust to
pay them for their experience in the
Far North. and then made their way to
Cape Nome. They were glad to get
back to San Francisco.
The Albion left here nearly three
months ago to gather up reindeer on
the Siberian coast and carry the ami
mails to St. Michael. The old revenue
cutter Thetis went on the same mis-
sion, and the Bear, the whalers' savior,
had instructions to do similar work on
her way to the Arctic. All three ves-
sells performed the work allotted to
them. The Albion reports that all
sorts of criminals abound in Anvil City
and robberies are Of daily occurrence.
For several nights before the Albion
sailed her crew guarded the bullion in
the company's house with shotguns.
The Albion left St. Lawrence bay
with 100 deer on July %, for Cape
Prince of Wales. The deer with their
legs tied, were taken aboard the Albion
in boats. OF the 100, there were 104
landed at Cape Prince of Wales, in
Alaska. The Thetis landed 40 ami
mails and returned to the Siberian side
for more. The Bear took ITO from
Boring island and got SO of them safely
ashore at the cape. The latter point
is near the entrance to the Arctic
ocean and is about 100 miles north Of
St. Lawrence bay.
The animals were not in good condi-
sion to be shipped at that time of the
year, but the expedition was very suo-
cessful as far as transportation is con-
cerned. 1t will be this goveInment's
care to nourish the animals. and II they
can thrive on Alaska's shore they will
be brought further down the coast and
used for meat supply. packing and car
lying mail. The Bear went on from
the cape to the Arctic to look after the
whalels.

Manila, Aug. 17.-Arrivals and mail

that the instruction is gaining

greatest cordiality Professor Schur-

Outbreaks are feared, particularly in
Cebu, where some of the leading men

The bombardment of Paete, on the
east side OF Laguna de Bay, by the Ma
