Farewell, earth! And hail. o Dreams!
Welcome, sea of sleep!
All despair, and grief, and pain,
All earth's troubles now depart;
Sweetly DER the mystic main
Floats the weary, aching heart!
Earth shall see it ne'er again
Though she watch the start!
But an angel on the strand

GLOOMY OUTLOOK AT DAWSON
Hospitals Filled to Overlooking With
INDECENT Sick.

Dawson, via Port Townsend, Jan. "a.
The situation here is gloomy. The
number Of sick is increasing, and the
six hospitals are full.
The mounted police have donated for
the help of the poor some 100000 in
cash from their treasury. This leaves
them with but $4,000 cash on hand.
Commissioner Ogilvie called meet
ing to decide on ways and means for
relieving the situation, and memorial
asking fol- aid will be sent to Wash
ington. 1t is estimated that $4,000 a
month will be required to pay for the
treatment of INDECENT patients. The
death rate this winter has been almost
as great as in the summer.
Several stampedes to new fields have
recently occurred, but in each case the
goldseekers were disappointed.

CONFIRMS NILES CHARGES
Major Daily Testifes That
Eagan's Beef Was Bad.
CHEMICAL PRESENCE IN MEAT
Strongest in Language of ANY To,.
mony Yet Submitted in Behalf =,
MajOr-General Miles.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Major W. p
DAILY, chief surgeon with General
Miles, and whose field service stretched
from Tampa to Porto Rico, whose re-.
port condemning beef furnished tba
expeditionary forces created a sensation
some weeks ago, made his lone.
awaited appearance as a witness before
the war investigation committee TODAY.
Daly's report was the strongest in
language of those submitted by Miles
in substantiation of his attack on tha
beef supplies. On being sworn the
witness identified the report submitted
as his own. He was willing, he said
to stand by his report. 1t was wholly
voluntary, and was not called out by
any request or in obedience to any cir.
cular or letter. At Tampa he had no.
ticed a quarter of beef hanging free in
the sun on shipboard, and he became
interested in the experiment of having
fresh slaughtered beef placed under
such moist climatic conditions to see
how long it could stand it.
81 Observed" he said, "that flies.
especially bull flies, did not affect it;
did not alight on it, or if they did they
got away from it very quickly"
He had cut off piece OF that beef at
Tampa and cooked it, but it neither
smelled or tasted naturally. He no.
ticed indications of chemical presence
in the meat that brought back recoIec.
tions of chemical stuff he had used to
preserve elk in hunting expeditions in
the Rocky mountains some years be-.
fore. All that day and next he had
an unpleasant taste.
In that previous hunting expedition
he had analyzed the chemical presetv-
ative and found it to contain borax and
salicylic acids. These were to be used
externally on elk. but he had rubbed it
into the raw flesh and also injected it.
Questioned as to these ingredients
he said borax was not safe to be used
in connection with food, nor for Ordi
nary medicinal purposes. while sail.
cYlic acid was most nauseous, lOath-
some and disgusting, and almost al.
ways destructive of digestion.

New York, Jan. PA special to
the World from Washington says:
General Miller's expedition has landed
on Guimaras island, three miles from
Ilo lilo, without opposition, General
Otis cables from Manila. Landing was
necessary because of the crowded con-
dition of the troops on the transports.
Experience has proved that soldiers
lose spirit and fighting qualities when
confined long on board ship, so the war
department asked General Otis to as
certain if it was possible for General
Miller to land his expedition near lilo
llo. He cabled that it was, and was
then instructed to order landing.
1t was deemed inadvisable to advise
this expedition to return to Manila
without having landed, because it was
feared the natives of Luzon would think
the Filipinos at lilo lilo repulsed the
Americans.

Manila, Jan. 24.-President Lopez
of the Visayan federation, has replied
to President McKinley's proclamation
of the 9th. He claims that the revolu-
tionary government antedates the Paris
treaty by over two years. He says he
has never been officially notified of the
existence of the treaty, and that there
fore he declines to recognize American
authority, and refuses to allow Ameri-
cans to disembark in force, without ex-
press orders from the government at
Malolos. General Miller, the COM
mander OF the American expedition,
replied that the Americans cannot rec
ognize President Lopez's authority, be-
cause the Filipino republic is not rec
ognized by the powers. He also ex-
pressed regret at the determination OF
the Filipinos to resist just claims.
