\ TEMPEST IN \ TEAPOT.
The Alleged Clothing Frauds at San Francisco Don't Amount to
 Much After All.
WHAT GEN. SKATER HAS TO SAY OF IT.
Tae Quantity of Clothing Seized was Very Small. and Had Been Bought by n Junk Man from Individual Soldiers Passing To or From the Orient.

Washington, June 20.-The war de partmcnt has made public two tsle- grams, dated Tuesday, relating to tte alleged clothing frauds at San Fran cisco. The first is a message from Cen. Corbin to Gen. Shafter asking for information on the subject, and stating that it is desirable from cv. cry point of view, that detailed facts of any importance be given the de- partmcnt before being exploited in the newspapers"
 Gen. Shafter's Response.
 Gen. Shafter's reply is as follows:
 Reference to your telegram to-day, 1 have refrained from making a re- port regarding clothing seized by Col. Maus, because the quantity was very small and it all appeared to have come from the same mana junk dealer who did business around the Presidio. The clothing had evidently been sold to this peddler by soldiers and re- cruits. The junk man and his son. who sold it, have been arrested by he federal authorities and their case is being considered by the federal grandjury to-day.
 There is No Shortage.
 There is no shortage in any of the departments here. This seized cloth ing undoubtedly represents the ac- emulation of articles which have been sold from time to time during the past year or two by the shou- sands of soldiers who have passed through San Francisco. I do not regard this matter as of any inn portance, though it has been widely exploited by the sensational newspa- pers. However, the seizure of these articles and the arrests made will have the effect, I think, of discourag- ing the purchase or sale of soldiers' wearing apparel in this vicinity here after.
 List of Articles Seized.
 "Following is an exact list of the articles seized: Blankets, II pairs; leggins, pairs; blue flannel shirts, AS; blouses, l gauntlet gloves, pair; black calfslkin shoes, 77 pairs; tan and russet shoes, 5 pairs; ail these articles are row in the hands of the proper departments"

Owing to the Deadly Eclro of Rebel

Colon, Colombia, Nov. 2S.-The gov
eminent forces, 800 strong, under Gen
eral Alban, on reappearing at Buena
Vista Wednesday afternoon opened
fire on the Liberal forces under Col
onel Barrera. The Liberals were not
entrenched, but having the choice of
ground, occupied the top of small
hill at Buena Vista.
The. fighting which Was of the most
savage nature lasted until $50 p. M,
without stopping, when the govern
ment forces owing to great loss were
compelled to give way and retreated
toward Frijolos. over 100 men were
killed or wounded, the bodies lying all
along the railroad.
a train on reaching Buena Vista
was unable to pass, owing to q pile of
corpses blocking its passage. About
20 wounded men were taken to Pana-
ma on the evening train. The Liber.
al loss was Insignificant. 1t is said to
be less than a dozen. Lieutenant Col
onel Barrera is now twice "a hero.
Much regret is EXPRESSED at the fact
that he was not detailed to prevent
the passage of Barbacoa bridge.
The liberals at Colon are jubilant
owing to the fact that General Adams
forward march has been stopped,
coupled with reasonable hopes that
General Domingo Diaz, with the rein
forcehents of Liberals from Choir
rerea will soon arrive on the scene of
action and attack General Alban in
the rear. This has changed the as

Among Them 10y Whose Uncle
Protected Him From Harm.
Peru, Ind, Nov. 2S.-Of the persons
who were injured in the Wabash wreck
20 arrived here on train travelling in
two sections. Lucie Virgiles and Tru-
buZzi Silvestro, although frightfully
were we'll acquainted with the people
in their party and say 100 Italians are
missing and unaccounted for. The
train load of MANNED and wounded
passengers brought here was pitiful
miniature of the horror. There were
not enough of ambulances to carry the
wounded to the hospital and many ex-
press wagons and trucks were pressed
into service. Among the wounded at
the hospital is 11-yearold Carman
Paer, who cries increasingly for his
uncle. His uncle, however, is dead,
having given his own life to save the
boy. The boys protector, whose
name was Thomas Gerbergo, had
made his body shield to protect his
nephew. When his lifeless form was
picked up the boy was found under it
only slightly injured.
Although a number of physicians
came on the train from the wreck, all
the local physicians and surgeons who
could be found were called to the hos
pital. 1t is said of the wounded
brought here that several may die.
Some of the patients are delirious part
of the time and talked incoherently of
the ghastly scene OF the collision In
which they figured as victims.
