RANKS OF VOLUNTEERS
TERRIBLY Trimmed

MANILA, July 1.-THE volunteers are
greatly debilitated in consequence of their
hard campaigning through three months
of tropic weather Since the MIDDLE or
Nav no volunteer regiment has had a
sick list of less than 20 per cent Most
of them at the present date have . per
than one-third of their number on duty.
The Nebraska Regiment has suffered
the worst. 1t came in from San Fernando
a few DAYS ago with less than two hun
dred men in the ranks. Some of its COM
panies has only two sets of fours. The
South Dakota followed yesterday with
275 men on duty. The Montana and Kan
more than $50 available men each. The
morning after the Washington troops
took Morong, a week ago, only 263 men
responded to roll call
The washington men have been engaged
since March Il in preventing the inur-
gent armies of the north and south from
forming q junction in the region of La
eIna de Bal, often being engaged at the
same time with the enemy in opposite
directions Twenty-four of the Nebraska
officers are on the sick list, and the Mon
tana, Kansas, Washington and South Da-
kota REGIMENTS show twenty or more Of
ficers in the hospitals or sick in their
n1arfers. These regiments have borne the
blunt of the fighting. Their losses in

SHIP NEARLY
CAUGHT BY
SLIDING ICE
City of Topeka's Narrow
Escape While Passing
Muir Glacier.
AVALANCHE DESCENDS
Immense Wave Caused by the Slide
Threatens the Vessel With
Destruction.

TACOMA, July 12.-Juneau advices
received to-day contain a thrilling ac-
count of narrow escape from destruc-
ton of the steamship City of Topeka
and all her passengers on the last trip
to Alaska. For some reason, probably
to avoid frightening prospective tour
lists, the steamships officers and others
who were aboard the Topeka have re-
Trained from making public the detals:
The Topeka was close to the face OF
Muir glacier, when suddenly and with
out any warning an immense mountain
of ice broke off from the glaciers face
and tumbled into the bay. Thousands
of tons of white and blue ice were con-
tained in this vast mass. The Splash
was so tremendous that it seemed as II
half the glacier had fallen. To make
the occurrence still more startling, this
vast iceberg was set in motion by Its
fall and foated in a straight line to-
ward the Topeka and her 200 passen-
gers. Faces whitened and hearts beat
fast at the sight of what appeared 10
be an approaching catastrophe 1t was
instantly realized that the snip would
be wrecked and probably sunk IL the
iceberg hit her. Still another element
of danger was presented by the on
rushing of the tidal wave, caused py
the tremendous splash.
The Topeka's captain had signaled
for full steam ahead almost before the
iceberg broke. The big excursion
steamer was got under way so
quickly that she got away from both
wave and iceberg before they reached
her. This was accomplished not mo-
ment too soon, for the immense swell
broke over the Topeka's stern, causing
every one aboard to rush to the center
and forward parts of her deck. One OF
the Topeka's officers is quoted in the
Juneau Mining Record as having said:
81 have faced danger in many forms,
but none that for suddenness and ap-
palling possibilities surpassed. this. If
that wave had struck us fairly the In
dians would be telling this tale, and
not !"
Some of the passengers did not realize
their great danger and were inclined
to treat the matter in joking light, put
the gravity of the situation became Ap-
parent when they saw the white and
serious faces of the ships officers. A
peculiar and weird feature of the occur
renee is the fact that the Topeka S
whistle was blown loudly just as the
glacier broke, and it seemed as If the
echo had caused the breaking of the ice
mass. Hereafter none of the steamers
of the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany will be allowed to approach so
near to the face of Muir glacier.
