ALGER'S EXCUSES
INQUIRY ABOUT BAD FOOD FOR
SICK AND WOUNDED
CASE OE THE CONCHO
ORDERS ISSUED TO PREVENT A
REPETITION OF BLUNDERS
*
VERY POOR EXPLANATIONS
Of Conditions for Which Some One
Should Be Punished —Captains
Did Not Ask for Water
Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—C01. Charles
Heyl of the Inspector general's office, has
returned to Washington from New York
where he went at the direction of Secretary
Alger to make an examination to fix the
responsibility of the official who sent the
transport Concho to New York from San
tiago ln an unfit condition for carrying the
sick and wounded.
After Colonel Heyl had reported to the
war department Secretary Alger made the
following statement concerning the Con
cho, as well as the Seneca, which reached
New York two weeks ago:
•'Concerning the unfortunate occur
rences on the ships Concho and Seneca,
that brought some sick and wounded from
Santiago, the secretary of war gives out
the following statement, after a careful
investigation:
"At the time they left Santiago the gen
eral desire of the convalescents to come
home doubtless overcrowded both ships.
From the commencing of the Santiago
campaign until within a few days ago. ter
rible conditions on the coast, where our
ships had no shelter and where there was
always a high surf, made the landing of
troops, supplies, ammunition, artillery
and medical stores very difficult and there
Is no doubt much Inconvenience and suffer
ing was thereby caused that was unavoid
able.
•The lighters that went with General
Shaffer's fleet were lost on the way. Two
tows of lighters were subsequently sent
v. ilch were also lost and it was Impossible
to get supplies ashore except with the
boats from the ships and those supplied
by the navy. Later on a lighter was fur
nished by the navy which was the only
one there for many days. On account of
the great number of sick and wounded,
which was in excess of what had been an
ticipated, there was no doubt much suffer
ing, especially among the sick at Santiago.
Captains Censured
"The captains of the Seneca and Concho
did not report to General Shafter nor to
Quartermaster Humphrey that they
needed water. Hail they done so of course |
it would have been provided. Then also
large numbers of civilians rushed aboard
to get away and they occupied many state
rooms that should have been given over to
soldiers. No recurrence of such conditions
will be possible hereafter and no one re
grets more than the secretary of war that
anything of the kind should have hap
pened.
"The general commanding that army,
the surgeon general, the quartermasters
and commissary departments have done
the best they could but unforseen circum
stances named above prevented the con
veniences being provede that otherwise
would have been furnished."
Orders to Shafter
Secretary Alger, who Is determined that
no further trouble of the kind shall occur.
If ln his power to prevent It, sent the fol
lowing telegram to General Shafter at San
tiago:
"Whenever it becomes necessary to use
transports for sick or wounded purposes it
should be made »he duty of some ex
perienced and competent medical officer
to see that only such transports as are In
good sanitary condition and are best suited
for the purpose are selected; that the water
suuply on board is ample in quantity and
wholesome In quality; that sufficient sup
plies of food, medicines, dressings, hos
pital stores. Including delicacies where
possible to obtain them. Ice, etc., are placed
on board; that a sufficient yiumber of ex
perienced medical officers and nurses ac
company the sick and wounded on the Voy
age; that there is no overcrowding of the
vessel, but that there are suitable accom
modations for all; that the departure of
these ships he telegraphed to the adjutant
general and surgeon general."
A similar dispatch was sent to the com
manding generals of the army at Porto
Rico and Manila.
TRANSPORTS FOR MANILA
Work of Fitting Them Progressing
Slowly
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.—The work
en the transports Is progressing slowly
and the delay ln sending troops to Manila
Is not due to any particular reason, hut to
the force of circumstances.
The Lakme, Charles Nelson and North
Fork will probably be ready to receive
troops tomorrow, and the three vessels are
expected to sail by Saturday at the latest.
The Tneoma took on board today 150 horses
and mules for the artillery, and she will
hoist her anchor sometime tomorrow and
• tart for Manila.
The Scandia and the Arizona cannot pos
sibly get away for two weeks, as the Ari
sona Is having a refrigerating plant put in
and the Scandia Is being rewired for elec
tric lights.
By the time these two ships are ready for
sea the ships of the first transport fleet
are expected to arrive home, and a few
days will suffice to put them in order to
convey another detachment of troops to
Manila.

eral G. M. Randall, recently promoted

They Will Be Loaned to the Army by
the Navy
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—lt has been
finally determined that the cruisers Tale
and Harvard, chartered by the navy from
the American Steamship company for
auxiliary navy operations, shall remain In
the possession of that department for the
present.
The naval branch, however, has no fur
ther need' for these vessels, but they will
be loaned to the war department which
will bear the expense Incidental to their
charters and use. The vessels will be
manned and officered hy the navy.

SMALL OUTFIT OF GOLD
ARRIVAL AT VICTORIA fIOF A
ST. MICHAELS STEAMER
Only About $200,000 Brought by the
Miners—Passengers for Dawson
Find No Transportation
VICTORIA, B. C, Aug. 3.-The steamer
Manuense arrived from St. Michael, Alaska,
today with 2GO passengers and between flso>
000 and $200,000 in gold dust. Of the list of
passengers only thirty-four were miners
who had spent as much as one winter in
tfhe mines, the remainder being those who
had gone there this spring and concluded
ont to remain. Te passengers all agreed
in the statement that hundreds of men are
arriving in St. Michael daily from Dawson
and vicinity seeking passage to the states
and that there are uwards of a thousand
men in that part who have lately come
from coast ports and are trying to get up
the river. Many are turning backi after
learning the condition at Dawson and up
river points, A large part of the Manu
ense's passengers are returning to their
homes in Callofrnia, Washington and Da
kota.
The river steamer Monarch is reported
aground some 2."0 miles from Dawson.
St. Michael harbor and the island present
a lively appearance. A forest of masts
covers the bay and the sea shore is lined
with people. Boats come In every day or
Iwo from up the river with scores and
hundreds of disappointed gold seekers,
whose stories of hardship and ill-luck are
vividly told In glowing colors to the multi
tude that has come here to take passage
for the mines. This results in many selling
their outfits and returning to the states.
The hotels on the shore are nightly taxed
ro their utmost capacity in accommodating
guests, and almost every craft in the harbor
l.s utilized as a temporary hostelry. News
that no gold has been found on Kotzebue
and Norton sound, too, adds to the discour
agement of the general multitude.
In the harbor of St. Michael are thirty
tivt steamers and sailing vessels, all heavily
iaden with passengers, general cargoes and
knock-down river boats. Several steamers
have large lists of passengers who pur
chased tickets direct to Dawson an dother
up-river points and on arriving learned that
arrangements had not been made for their
river transportation. The steamers insisted
upon landing passengers on the beach, thus
throwing them on their own resources.
St. Michael island is under military juris
diction, and the commanding officer re
fuses to allow such passengers to be put
ashore, and the rsult is there are four or
five steamers In port with several hundred
passengers whom they are unable to land.
Scores of river boats are being constructed
and for several miles around every availa
ble point present a lively shipbuilding yard
Supplies for St. Michaels
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.—The steamer
Portland of the Alaska Commercial com
pany left this afternoon for St. Michael.
The Portland is loaded down to her guards
with provisions for the stores of the com
pany. Very little else was taken.
TOTTERING CHINA
Widespread Outbreak Against the Dynasty
Is Imminent
4» SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 3.—News of an impending revolu- 4*
4* tion in China is furnished by G. E. Seavey, president of the 4*
4* American Steam Navigation company, who arrived today on -i*
4* the steamer Doric. 4*
4* He fears a violent outbreak among the hordes of Chinese in 4*
4* both the northern and central provinces, and believes that great 4*
»i» loss of life and destruction of property will result. The mission- 4*
4* aries scattered throughout the country, he thinks, will be the 4*
4* chief sufferers. In an interview he said: 4*
4* "Owing to the effects of drought, destitution is certainly im- ■ \
-4» pending for millions of natives. The poorer classes have been 4*
•)■* squeezed by the mandarins and the Chinese governors to such an 4
-i- extent that there is nothing left them now but mere existence. 4
4* This year there will be nothing for the governors to draw out 4 s
4-* of the people. 4*
4* "There are several thousand American misisonaries working 1
\- in Northern and Central China, and when the uprising comes, 4 s
•4* as I think it will, for these famine-stricken Chinese will fight 4 s
4* for food, they will be the ones to suffer first. The American 4*
4* missionaries are well treated in China, especially by the poorer 4~
4* classes, but when the Chinese population becomes mad in their 4*
4» rage for food, they will level all distinctions and start sweep- 4 s
4- ing everything before them. In Wu Hu an outbreak was re- 4*
4* cently threatened, but the English governor, acting for the Chi- 4*
4> nese government, dared the mob. He furnished his troops with 4*
4* rifles, and is waiting for any attack which may come. He, in 4*
4* turn, threatened destruction to the Chinese malcontents should 4*
*Jjf they attempt any violence."

LACK OF INFORMATION ON IM

A TASK OF GREAT MAGNITUDE
Insurgents Expected to Resent Augus
tus Surrender to Merritt—Per
plexing Situation
Associated Tress Special Wlr«
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.—An Interesting
question, and one (if vital imprtance to
the administration, is the attitude to he
assumed by the I'nlted States toward the
Philippine insurgents ln the event that we
reach an agreement for the suspenson of
hostilities with Spain. It Is stipulated In
our peace terms that the I'nlted States
military forces shall occupy and establish
a military form of government over the
city of Manila and the bay, with the sur
rounding territory. This Involves an im
mediate surrender of the Spanish forces,
not to Agulnaldo. but to General Merrltt.
and there is now apprehension that the in
surgents will resent this very bitterly, and
that It will be necessary to expel them
forcibly from the territory described. Be
yond this, it is said in some quarters that,
pending the decision of the peace com
missioners as to the future of the Philip
pines, the United States will be morally
hound to maintain the status quo In the
island at large. In other words, having
deprived Spain of the means of resisting
the onslaughts of the insurgents, It has
been urged that the United States would
be bound to prevent the latter from con
tinuing their warfare. There is a lack of
information In Washington on many im
portant points as to the conditions ln the
Philippines. For Instance, it is not known,
even approximately, how extensive the
revolutionary movement has been through
out the vast group of 1200 Islands and
among the large populaton, estimated to
aggregate between 5.00n.000 and 15.000,000.
If the revolutionary movement is general
and extends to very many of the islands,
the task presented to the United States
military and naval authorities will be one
of great magnitude in the event that it is
decided to be incumhent upon us not to
restore Spanish sovereignty where It has
been lost, but to prevent its overthrow in
sections where It Is still supreme and to pre
vent excesses and outrages at the hands
of the Insurgents.

BRIGADE AN OVATION
Tbe Dixie Frightened the San Juan
People—The Spaniards Appear
Eager for the Fray
PONCE, Porto Rico, Aug. 1, $ a. m., via
St. Thomas. Aug. 2, noon.—The Porto Rlcans
of Ponce lined the streets by the hundreds
and filled the air with cheering on the ar
rival of General Garretson's brigade from
Yauco. The arrival of these troops' and
those on the St. Louis, makes the lighting
strength of the Americans now operating
near Ponce about 9000 men, equal to the
entire force of Spanish regular troops on
the Island.
General Garretson's camp is temporarily
near the Second and Third Wisconsin Reg
iments on the outskirts of the town. The
brigade marched seventeen miles from Yau
cc to Mulby, where they arrived travel
stained and mud-bespattered. Almost the
entire population saw the troops pass
through tlie city and gave them cheer after
cheer, particularly as the artillerymen
lumbered hy. The otficers at the front, In
cluding Hullng of the Pennsylvanlans and
Captains Austin, Wheeler, Burns and Hall,
commanding the four advance companies,
do not believe the Spaniards will make any
resistance. They claim the enemy will act
only on the defensive.
There was some firing last night between
Captain Austin's pickets and the Spaniards
in the brush, but no damage was done.
All the American troops are restless, due
to the false alarms of the approach of the
Spaniards, and they are anxious for an en
'countcr with the enemy. It Is the general
belief, however, that there will be no for
ward movement of the main body of our
troops until the other transports arrive
/They are expected every hour.
The troops on board the St. Louis are re
ported to be In good health. She brought
twelve representatives of the Porto Rlcan
Junta of New York, whose business Is to
influence the people of the island not to
'resist the American advance. Their good
offices are not necessary.
The Dixie shot at Morro Castle on Satur
day and caused the utmost consternation
at San Juan, where the event was believed
to signify that the place would be bom
barded within twenty-four hours.
