Manila, July 13.-7:25 p. m. Wed
nesday-A copy of the Independence
has reached Manila containing an &C
count of the recent anniversary cele-
bration of the proclamation of Filipino
independence and new proclamation
by Aguinaldo. The latter is in SUBJ
stance as follows:
"Filipino:-Beloyed daughter of the
tropics, be not ungrateful to her salute
who weaned you with her culture and
civilization. It is true that Spain
sought to crush that independence as a
loving mother opposes separation for
ever from her daughter. 1t is her ex-
cess of love and affection Spain feels
for the Filipinos. Delicate flower OF
scarcely eight months weaned from
the breast of thy mother, thus has a
brave nation, such as the United States,
after barely organizing and disciplin-
ing thy little army, falsely turned on
us. We will be slaves to none. We
will not allow ourselves to be deprived
of liberty by soft words. Let us de-
fend our fatherland until independence
is assured, for this is justice. We see
that America is for Americans and not
for Filipinos. Some states of the
American union have arisen in our ia
vor Especially is the democratic
party convinced that both victors and
vanquished will lose precious lives.
Many of the people and as many
statesmen censure the war on us as in
humane. Therefore, we should pre-
vent this struggle. We have never
concealed our aspirations. We aspire
but to independence and we will strug-
gle on. Tomorrow the Americans will
be our allies"
Aguinaldo concluded with calling
for volunteers and for the liberation
of the army.
Oregon Volunteers Arrive.
San Francisco, Cal, July 13.-The
United States transport Ohio, bearing
the Oregon volunteer regiment from
Manila, arrived here last evening. The
vessel was in sight early in the after
noon and soon the shrieking of steam
whistles, changing of bells and firing OF
cannon annouced that the first batch
of volunteers to return from Manila
was nearing the shores of California
Within few minutes the streets We're
filled with people going to the docks
intent on catching a glimpse of the
transport A reception committee
boarded the tugs Sea Queen and Gov
ernor Irwin and headed for the ocean
On board the Irwin were the board OF
commissioners Of the national guard
of California and the governor of Ore
gon and his staff; on the Sea Queen
were the representatives of the press, a
band, Mayor Phelan and many invited
guests. AS the transport slowly
steamed up the harbor the soldiers
gathered in excited groups on the deck
and some climbed into the rigging,
where they shouted and cheered like
mad. The band on the Sea Queen
played patriotic airs and the screaming
of many steam sirens created pande-
monium. 1t is yet undecided whether
the Oregon volunteers will be allowed
to land in San Francisco before re-
turning to their homes.

SAD TALES FROM KoYUkUK.
Men and Boats stranded I'm That
Dismal Region.

ST MICHAEL. June 29.-Of all the
Alaskan stampedes, and there have been
many, none nave proven such dismal fall
ures as the one to the Koyukuk river last
fall. In the neighbornood OF 1,5o0 people
joined in the rush, and not one got
enough gold to fill good sized tooth cav
ity To add to the discontinue of the
prospectors the weather was tremen-
dously severe, the thermometer often
dropping as low as "a below zero. Added
to this was an epidemic Of scurvy, which,
with exposure. caused several deaths and
no end of suffering.
More than twenty-eight boats were
stranded on the Koyukuk and Allen
Kakit rivers. and Ais spring while on the
way down eighteen went high and dry
on river bars. which are numerous in both
streams. Vessels that cost as high as
$500 were sold for as many hundred. while
others less costly went for anything they
would bring. Several parties made up In
San Francisco Chicago, Philadelphia and
other cities broke up after q winters
campaign, some of the members going to
Dawson, and others coming out this way.
Men who went in hale and hearty have
come out physical wrecks. Many OF the
cases are pitiable. especially as the sub
jects are well past middle age.
