For three days Captain Dingle had

When the extent of her injuries was

THIS SCANDAL Is BRITISH.
Officers Charged With Fraud in
Buying Horses

London, June 6-After a long and
somewhat embittered discussion OF the
policy of the war office in buying horses
for use in South Africa, the house of
commons today, by a vote OF 159 to go,
voted the sum of els, ,779,0OO for trans
ports and remounts.
Sir Blundel Maple, conservative, as
serted that British officers who had been
sent to Hungary and Austria had pur-
chased broken down animals at extrava-
CANT prices and divided with the sellers
the price charged the British govern
ment above the actual cost. He de-
manded the appointment of a COM
mittee of inquiry
Lord Stanley, financial secretary OF
the foreign office, said an inquiry would
be made and be believed the accusations
of corruption brought against British
officers would be disproved
Mr.. Broderick, the war secretary, said
the war office paid for horses in Eng
land e42, in Canada $50, and in Aus
tralia, the United States aud Hungary
$50 to &25. Later in the discussion MIR.
BrOderick said a telegram had just
reached him from Lord Kitchener an

600 troops were now suitably mounted

SMALL MAN AGGIE.
This is What General Grant Thinks
of Him.

New York, June 7.-General Frederick
d Grant was given a reception tonight
by the L. 5. Grant post, g. A. X. In a
brief address General Grant said:
"AguinaldO was not as much Of a cap
ture in the Philippines as he seems to
have been here. To tell the truth, he has
lost about all his influence. We don't
treat him as if we considered him of
some Importance. We can not kill him,
OF course, but we want to make him feel
that he stands on the same footing with
any other Filipino. If we should fine
him $40 and send him to Jail for 80
days and set him to breaking rock it
would be better for him and for our
selves. If, when he comes over here, we
treat him with contempt he will be
treated with contempt by the natives
when he goes home. But if over there
they get the idea that we have a high
idea OF Aguinaldo's Importance, when
he gets back he will have following
which may make us trouble"
General Grant said that the friars
were much hated and we're very corrupt.
The Philippine commission, he said, de-
sir ID to treat the friars the same way az
any other persons, with no more cOnsid-

Dawson, May 81, via Seattle, June 6.
The spring cleanup season ia in full
swing in all parts of the Klondike camp.
Millions of dollars worth OF the precious
dust have been washed down from the
mOuntain-like Jumps of pay dirt that
we're taken out by the army of miners
through the winter months. Within
month $3,00O,0OO or $4, 100000 more
will have been taken out and the wash
ing of the winter dumps will then be
finished The cleanup of the camp is
estimated at $15. 100000 and the sum
mer output at $1O,OOO,O0O. The dust
is now coming into Dawson at the rate
of $3O,nOO to $4,000 a day. After
two or three weeks the roads will be
drier and it will flow in at a heavy rate.
The two banks here are buster than
they have been for months buying or
receiving the dust for storage The big
trading companies are receiving a great
deal of dust in payment for goods ad-
vanced to miners during the winter. The
camp is in a fOurishing condition, and
everywhere good feeling prevails The
first shipment of dust to the outside of
any consequence will perhaps not start
for week or two or until the river is at
a more steady stage and the boats run
more regularly. However, there will be
a rush of people out by the first boat
and all will carry more or less OF the
