Massacre of Company C, Ninth
Infantry at Samar, Believed to
be More Horrible Than Pic
tured in First Report
WAR DEPARTMENT
CABLES FOR NAMES
But the Full List of Casualties Is
Not Expected to be Made
Known Until Today-0ffiCerS
Who Perished Have Excellent
Records and Were Well Known

Washington, Sept. Slowing to the
distance from Manila Of the scene of
the massacre of Co. C, the officials of
the war department do not expect a re-
Spouse to their order for full list of
the casualties before tomorrow. How
ever, they feel assured that the officers
of the Inflated company certainly per-
ished, and they have given out for pub
LEGATION brief obituary notices.
From these it appears that Thomas
W. Connell, the captain of Company c
was born in New York and was a grad
uate of the military academy, which
he entered in 1889. His service record
shows that he was in Cuba during the
Spanish war until Aug. 1898, then in
New York and again in 1899 in Cuba as
aide to Gen. Douglass. He went to
China in May, 1901 and thence to the
Philippines.
First Lieut. Edward A. Bumpus was
born in Massachusetts, and given a
commission while a private in Battery

when the Columbia and Sham
rock Meet Today in the Second
Race for the Americas Cup Off
Sandy Hook
CONFIDENCE is SUPREME
ON THE CHALLENGER
On Board the Defender There Is
No Boosting But If the White
SIoop Wins She Will be Ex-
peCted to Make the Series
Three Straight Victories

New York, Sept. 3O.-Everybody is
wishing for a good wind when the
Columbia and the Shamrock II meet
tomorrow in the second race for the
Americas cup. Interest is tuned to the
highest pitch as a result of the grand
contest of Saturday. Confidence is SUI
preme on the Erin and the Shamrock.
The course tomorrow will be ten
miles to a leg. The start may be ex-
pected about 80.
The official forecast for Sandy Hook
from Washington is as follows: The
winds will be light to fresh northerly
in the morning, but they probably will
decrease toward noon and become vari-
able and light
A rafting wind without too much
sea was the condition of the sea today
while the two yachts lay at anchor. 1t
was such a day as made the sailors on
both the challenger and the defender
envious. Sir Thomas Upton called 1t
Shamrock weather and said that with
such a clinking breeze tomorrow he
would surely move the cup little. On
board the Columbia there was no boast
ing. but a comfortable degree of con-
fidence and a certainty that if the de-
fender wins tomorrow, she will make
it three straight victories for the series.
Betting today showed the effect of
Saturdays wonderful contest. The talk
of long odds was silenced and two to
one seems to have been the best re-
corded-this on the general result
while on tomorrow's race these odds
were shaded down, in one instance to
6 to 5.
AS a matter of fact, however. the
actual bets recorded are at such vary
-. 6g,,rae DC IN odds that no regular
o1otation can be given as a standard.

THE AFRICAN CRISIS.
New Ameer. Habeeb Ulldh Khdn--
The AmeerS of Cdbul.
Correspondence New York SUM-

AS you remark. the death Of Adbur
Rahman. the Ameer Of Cabul, on the
morning of October s, is likely to cause
crisis in the great Oriental question,
and as l resided among the IAfghans for
many years. and was government ex-
| aminer in their language. it may be of
interest to your readers if l draw at
tention to the rise Of the Ameers Of
Cabul.
In 1888 the ruler of Cabul was called
shah" or king and the descendants
of Taimur SHAH who became rulers Of
Afghanistan. assumed that title.
In 1926 a Barukzie chieftain. named
Dost Mahomet, obtained command Of
the Afghan army, and. defeating Shah
Soojah. assumed the title of '.Ameer.'
The rejection of the title of king for
that Of Ameer were remarkable. in that
the religion of Mahomet regards the
whole world as under the rule of one
Cahph. who is the vicegerent of the
Prophet. with Ameers as his lieuten-
ants. The title of Ameer is. therefore,
in accordance with the spirit of Islam.
while the titles of Sultan and Shah are
entirely antagonistc to the religion of
the Prophet.
The "DoSt," as he was called, was
one Of the most distinguished men of
his time. In a less civilized age he
might have been an Omar or 4 Jenzig
Khan. He succeeded once again in re-
viving that strong national feeling
among the Afghans which existed in
the day when they conquered India and
it is this national feeling which pervades
the Afghan to the present day.
The British become jealous of his
power. and in an evil moment Gin 1889
invaded his country. He was dethroned,
taken prisoner to India. and Shah Soo~
jah was replaced on the throne. But in
the winter Of 1S41 the British embassy
at Cabul, headed by Macnaughton and
Alexander Burns We're massacred, and
the whole British army was destroyed,
only one Englishman, DR.. Dryden, liv-
ing to tell the tale A party Of about
twenty officers and ladies were given
as hostag es, and their lives We're pro-
tected until the "Dost" was restored to
his throne.
When Dost Mahomet was released
from prison. he said to the officer in
charge of him: well, have seen
something Of Britains power, and 1
cannot understand why you English
want to enter my country which is but
a land of rocks and stones"
During great mutiny in India in
1878 there We're three British officers
in Kandahar. and 1t was suggested that
they should be killed, but the dost re-
piled, IF every Englishman in India
were killed the Britishers would come
out in shiploads, for I have seen their
shipping at Calcutta
Dost Mahomet had many wives, but
his first wife was his true love, and to
this is to be attributed many OF those
civil wars which have so weakened the
power Of the Barakzai in Cabul.
This favorite wife had no sons for a
number of years, but when sors were
born Of this favorite wife he put aside
the sons by his first wife (named Afzul
Khan and Aim Khan, and nominated
the younger sons, who We're born of his
favorite wife, as his successors.

RIVAL COAST CITES.

Residents of the Northwest have more
than ordinary interest in the rivalry be-
tween San Francisco and the Puget
sound country. During the past few
years, in fact since trans-Pa ciic trade
began to be highly valued, predictions
have been freely made that the city of
Seattle would outstrip its older competi-
tor and that the pathways Of trade
which have long made their termini at
the Golden Gate would lead to Belling
ham bay instead. To these prophecies
of the growing Importance of cities Of
the Washington coast, residents of Mon
tana have given close attention. The
statement that Seattle and her neigh
bors on the coast are forging to the
front and achieving commercial su-
premacy that is fast. obscuring the
fame of San Francisco as a seaport, is
interesting to residents of the Northwest.
In means that products of the northern
tier of states will find a reader market
in the Orient, and the route to the
Pacific possessions will be appreciably
shortened.
About 27,45O,O 900 bushels of wheat are
exported each year from the Pacific
coast. This total will be increased from
year to year as the widening markets
in the new possessions of the United
States demand. The greater portion Of
this food supply has been sent from the
port of San Francisco in former years,
and Montana and the Northwest have
not been in the direct pathway of trade.
The route from Seattle to the principal
markets in the Orient is about 300 miles
shorter than the one leading out of San
Francisco harbor, and there appears to
| be considera BILE foundation In reason for
| the prediction that the principal current
| of trade toward the Orient will soon be
| flowing across Montana and will estab-
| lish its principal seaport at Seattle. The
| growing importance of the coast city
means a corresponding advance in the
value of every ranch in the state of
Montana. and the increasing market IN
| the Pacific will come to be the chief re-
| lance Of the agricultural districts of
| this state. Reliable statistics of the COM
parative progress Of the various coast
cities are now in course of preparation.
They will disclose the proportions Of The
commerce in the Pacific and will be read
with interest by every resident Of the
Northwest.
There are those who prophesy tina.
