Washington, Feb. 2,-General Chat
fee has cabled the war department
the report of the march of Major
Waller and his marines across Samar.
1t is the first full account of the march
and tells a tale of terrible suffering
and hardship. Major Waller, four of
ficers and fifty men of the marine
corps: Lieutenant Lyles of the 18th
infantry and SO native bearers, started
with four days ratiOns during the last
week in December, from Lanang, on
the east coast of Samar, to cross the
island to Basey, about 35 miles dis
tant The dispatch says:
'Incessant rains from the start,
swollen streams and other natural OBJ
stacles made the progress extremely
slow. When the rations were con
sumed the men became exhausted rap
idly, dropping on the way. Major
Waller separated from Captain Por-
ter. Lieutenant R. P. Williams and the
major part Of the men, proceeded
toward Basey where he arrived Janu-
airy 9th, with two officers and thirteen
men. also Lieutenant Lyles. He re-
turned to the mountains the next day
with relief, but returned to Basey
about ten days later unsuccessful
Porter was to build RATS, but the tim
Der would not float. The second day
after separating from Waller, Porter
moved toward LananS, arriving there
January II with two men, all exhaust
ed, physically and mentally. Lieuten-
ant r. P. Williams and over 80 men
were left in the mountains in a SINH
lar condition with native bearers. A
relief expedition under Lieutenant
Kenneth P. Williams of the list infantry
was delayed in starting two days by
storm raging and the torrent in the
river. 1t started Dec. 18th and
reached the marines Dec. IS, having
Lieutenant Williams and all except
ten men, not found, who no doubt are
dead from starvation.
Captain Porter and Lieutenant Will
Jams and the eighteen men in the hos
pital at Tavloban are not very clear
in their minds regarding much of the
time covered by the period of suffer
ing. All will probably recover. Ma
jOr Waller is at present disOrdered in
his reCOllectiOnS. The suffering of
this command for 20 days cannot be
described The efforts of Lieutenant
Williams and the relief party were
unequalled for courage and labor"

closed. It has paid 521a per cent.
Stoughton, Feb. People Of
Stoughton were surprised and pleased
TO learn Of the appearance of j. II.
Joice, the alleged defaulting cashier
Of the defunct Dane County bank. Mr.
.JOice arrived here on the 4:30 train
accompanied by his attorney J. NJ.
Clancy and Immediately proceeded
TO the home of his wife's mother, Mrs.
Nels Thompson. The sentiment
against Joice has not abated during
his two years absence. His resist
ance to being brought to trial has
again brought the matter before the
public and the expressions heard to-
ward the former fugitive are not com
plimentary. The charge alleged
against Joice is of receiving deposits
after he knew the bank was insolvent.
There are also rumors about the find
ing Of altered notes and notes with
chemical erasuTes on them after the
bank closed it's doors. JOiCe cannot
be convicted of these things, it is said.
DepOsitOrs are now in state Of
mind where they are determined to
push the matter to a final settlement.
Attorneys will be employed to assist
District Attorney Dudgeon and all eff
forts will be made to convict the man.
It is rumored that the depositors will
secure the services Of DIN & Butler

THE PRESIDENTS ARMY ORDER.

The presidents order urging temper
ance reform in the army makes it the
duty Of the officers of the regular army
to teach by example AS well as pre-
cept the lessons of abstinence from
drink and immortality to the enlisted
men. The order says
ut is the duty of regimental and
particularly of company officers to try
by precept and example to point out to
the men under their control, and par
ticularly to the younger men, the inevi-
table misery and disaster which follow
upon intemperance and vicious living.
Every effort should be made to promote
throut the army q clearly and moral
tone in word no less than in deed. AS a
nation we feel pride in the valor, dis
cipline and steadfast endurance of our
soldiers, and hand in hand with these
qualities must go the virtues of self-re-
straint self-respect and self-controL"
The president points out the truth Of
the army statistics To show that he
