OVERDUE FLEET
CAUSING OWNERS
LITTLE ANXIETY
Change of Wind Wiil
Bring Them In.
♦
MORE SOLDIERS FOR MANILA
♦
SEVERAL TRANSPORTS READY
TO SAIL THIS WEEK.
One of the overdue fleet made port yes
terday and brought some comfort to the
owners of vessels now out an unusually
long time for Puget Sound ports. The
British ship County of Cardigan was 52
days out from Nagasaki for British Co
lumbia and 25 per cent was paid by the
underwriters to reinsure their risks. Yes
terday the ship arrived at Port Townsend,
and Captain Hughes reports having been
driven north by the southeast storms and
had to beat his way back. The local over
due fleet has probably had the game ex
perience. , M
The bark Ferris S. Thompson sailed for
Port Discovery ana the scnooner Ameri
can Girl tor fort Gamble on October 8;
the bark Highland .Light for Departure
Bay on October 11; the snip Louis Walsh
for Tacoma on October 15. and the bark
Germama tor Seattle on October IS. The
supposition la that all these vessels have
bet-n anven past the Straits of jj'uca, and
like the County of Cardigan .will nave to
beat their way back, or three weeks
it has been wing hard along the coast
from the southeast, but yesterday it
chopped around to tie northwest. 11 this
change o£ wind holds good as far north
a* Vancouver Island, then th» overdue
lleet of coasters should be heard from
within the next forty-eight hours.
As against the long passages oeing made
by the Thompson. American Girl, Germa
ma Highland Light and Louis Walsh,
the runs of the C. P. Sargent and Colum
bia stand out in bold relief. The Sargent
left here November 2 for Departure Bay
and made the run in four days. The Co
lumbia left here for Tacoma on November
5 and made the run In five days. Cap
tains Haskell and Nelson went up the
coast in steamboat time, but were careful
not to pass Cape Flattery until they had
a good slant to pass In through the
straits. _ . ,
The transports City of Sydney and
Pathan sailed for Manila yesterday after
noon With the Forty-sixth Regiment. The
men were all put aboard during the day,
and as soon as the orders were given the
transports dropped out into the stream.
The transports Ben Mohr and Senator will
sail to-day; the City of Puebla and St.
Paul next Saturday; the Ohio and Indiana
Monday, November 20. and the Duke of
Fife arid Hancock Tuesday or Wednesday
of next week.
When the Ranger comes down from
Mare Island next week the old hands
along the front will wonder what new
warship Uncle Sam has added to his navy.
Not so very long ago ) he was known as
a sloop-of-war and was bark-rigged. Now
she Is a "fore and after" and will be
classed as a gunboat. A complete new
battery has been added to her outfit, and
she Is* now manned by the crew of the
Badger, that vessel having gone out or
commission. It was originally the inten
tion of the Government to send the
Hanger to the Philippines, but news from
the seat of war tend to show that the sit
uation Is now well in hand, so the Ranger
will remain on the coast.
Captain Rider ha« taken command of
the cruiser Philadelphia, vice Captain
White, who tires on full pay. Captain
Rider was lieutenant commander of the
Narragansett when Admiral Dewey was
captain of that vessel.
The tug Ida W had a hard Time of it
petting the schooner W. F. Wltzemann in
from tea last Monday. There was a very
heavy swell on and the bar was breaking
in places. A very heavy roller struck the
schooner and the steel hawser by which
she was being towed parted. A Manila
hawser followed suit, and for a time the
Fchooner : ■;:• d gunwales under. Captain
James on the tug soon went to her assist
ance, however, and passing another haw
ser aboard ■ wed her in safety into port.
There were a few critical moments for
both tug and schooner after the hawsers
parted, and both captains were glad to
see the fort opening up as they passed in.
The Oceanic Steamship Company's Aus
tralia will sail for Honolulu this after
noon. She takes away an unusually valu
able cargo, nearly all the merchandise
being goods for the holiday trade in the
islands. The passenger accommodations
will be taxed to the utmost, as the Aus
tralia is one of the favorite ships in the
trade. ly- : '* ■ '*''■'•<>•''
FOOD POISONERS ARE
STILL AT LARGE
FOUR OF THE VICTIMS WERE
NEAR UNTO DEATH.
A Long Term on Alcatraz Awaits the
"Jokers" if They Are Iden
tified and Convicted.
Four members of Company K. Forty
' second Regiment, are still confined In the
1 Presidio hospital suffering from the ef
- of the croton "II placed in their
food by some persons who are as yet un
known.
Thrse victims are convalescing and will
. be discharged from the hospital, but
j that their cases did not prove fnta! is
! due to the prompt medical treatmf-nt they
received. When first examined the
patients s-howed signs of a severe poison
ing, and were in a sta-t^ of almost total
collapse with pulse barely perceptible.
It was thought at first that their cases
would prove fatal, and it was only after
j severe treatment that any of the patients
show - - if rallying:. Many of ihe
members of the company say that the
poisoning was the result of the hash
' which they ate ;it breakfast becoming
: fermented during the night . but neverthe
they are investigating on their own
> hook and seem anxious to catch the
"Jokers."
As yet there ha* been no formal meet
■ ing of the committee appointed to in-
I vestlgate the affair, though many mem
bers of the company have been inter
-1 viewed.
Some thirty member? of thr company
w«-r-- Interviewed yesterday by members
of the committee, but their testim >ny
was valu less in aiding the commi;:-. •
• on any one or to identify
the perpetrators. The members of the
company are not anxious to shield the
miscreants: far from it, and it will not
be a pleasant interview when the victims
of the cruel Joke have identified the per
petrators.
yesterday afternoon a telephone mes
sage was received at the Presidio stating
that two soldiers had tried to purchnso
some croton oil from a Davis-street dnstc
storf. and that if some one in authority
would visit the store information «
; be given that would lead to the Identity
' r,f the would-be purchasers. A mes'"n.T.r
from the Presidio was at once disp-.
to the location given, but no drugstore
could be found within the b!oc!c nr, r
would any druggist In the vicinity admit
; having sent the message.
The investigation will be continued
! from day to day until some definite c!^w
1 shall have been obtained, and if theps-rpe
trators are Identified nnd convicted there
is no doubt that hard labor at Alcatraz
will be the sentence.

MARCONI SYSTEM
TO BE OPERATED
IN THE ISLANDS
Company Now Being
Organized.
Marconi's system of wireless telegraphy
Is to be placed in operation aa a means
of communication between the five prln
cipal islands of the Hawaiian group. F. 1
J. Cross, an electrical engineer of Hono- i
lulu, who has been stopping at the Occi
dental, has, after a very thorough inves
tigation of the practicability of the sys
tem, closed a contract with the Wireless :
Telegraph and t-:icrnai Company of Lon
don, the controller of the Marconi pat
ents, for the construction and installation
of a complete plant, to be operated be- :
tween the islands of Hawaii, Oahu. Molo
kai, Maui and Kauai. The contract call*
for the completion of the plant by Feb
ruary 1, 1900.
Mr. Cross has been investigating wire
less telegraphy for several years, and when <
he learned that the United States Gov
ernment was to test the Marconi system !
he went East and participated in the ex- '•
periments conducted between the cruiser
New STork md the battleship Massachu
setts, being on board the former vessel.
These tests so thoroughly satisfied Mr.
Cr< >s that he at once opened negotiations
with Marconi, with the result stated.
"The Marconi system is a most unqual
ified success," said Mr. <'r>ss when seen
• venir.g at the Occidental. "The .jx
periments between the Government vis-
Bla proved ' r ~ practicability beyond ques
tion. The instruments worked perfectly,
with the sending and receiving points
thirty-six mi!*-s apart. There is no limit
to th< in which me.-
be sent by the wireless system. The only
thing that interferes is the curvature of
Lrth. In order to transmit mesc g
ssfully the space between th-- |
must • ■ -ncted. The f-'rr-ates-'
between any "f the islands where
we will operate is sixty-one miles, ai
order to secure a ci.'.ir passage f>>r th^
be sending and receiving
stations will have to I
■ t from the earth's surface."
While Mr Cross owns the Hawaiian
franchise for the Marconi system, it is his
intention to organize a sto''k company as
snort as he returns to the islands. In fact, •
before he left there to Invesl
proposition he was given assurance of
ample financial backing to operate
plant if In his judgment it was a sin
The Hawaiian company will be the rirst
to operate tho Marconi system as a pure
ly commercial enterprise.
Mr tes that Marconi is so
thoroughly satisfied with the success . ■ f
his Invention and so confident of his
lty to demonstrate its gr«-at value that
after Studying the maps of the islands he
said without hesitation that Mr. Cross
might Insert any penalty he desir.-.i In the
contract In case that wir> : iphy
did not prove to be all that its Inventor
claimed for it. Mr. Cross will return to
■ • lulu to-day on the Australia, and
will commence at once the preliminary
work of establishing telegraphic commu
nication between the islands.
AMERICAN TROOPS
PRAISED BY MILES
Report of the Command-
ing General.
Special Pispatch to The Call.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.— The annual
report of Major General Nelson A. Miles,
commanding the army, was made public
at the War Department to-day. It bears
the date of October IT, 1899, and is ex
tremely brief and formal in character. It
announces the transmission to the Secre
tary of "War of the reports of the depart
ment and staff commanders, and makes
a brief statement of the strength and dis
tribution of the army, including the mus
ter-out of the regiments, most of which
details have already been published in
I the report of the adjutant general.
The report concludes with the follow
ing general statement:
The demand for troops for foreign service
has been unusual and has been somewhat
severe upon them, especially those of the regu
lar army. Within the last eighteen months
several repiments have been required to leave
their stations in the extreme North, move to
the islands of the "West Indies, there engace
in a campaign in summer, return to northern
stations in the autumn arid winter and move
again to tropical islands in the Pacific and
engage in campaign? un.ier the must difficult
circumstances. Rarely In a service have troops
• sperleoced such unusual changes in cliniat- 1
as those above indicated, yet under all cir
cumstance* and at all times the utmost loy
alty, fortitude and faithful performance of duty
have been manifested on the part of thf I
In nearly all enKafr^mfius where thp
have been brought Into contact with the en-my
they have Invariably acted on the offensive
and not in a single Instance have they suf
fered defeat. The intelligence, discipline and
fidelity of both officers and men have been
most commendable.
Owing to the additional and extraordinary
expense placed upon officers while serving in
the Philippine Islands, Cuba. Porto rtteo and
the Hawaiian Islands it Is recommended that
they be allowed the same percentage ■•: ih»
Increase of pay that is now provided by law
for the enlisted men.
It is also recommended that officers of the
army with a creditable record, who served
during the Civil War. shall be gratv
same consideration concerning- rank anil pay
aR has been accorded officers of the navy by
section 11. act approved March 3.
As far as organization is concerned, the army
is in a transition state. It is believed that
the force will be ample for the service required
of It up to the time authorized, viz.: July I.
lfini. It is gratifying to note that the Govern
ment has authorized 8 military force which
seems commensurate with its requirements,
magnitude and Instructions. I have for years
recommended the adoption of a standard In
rtion to the population, viz.; not to ex
ceed one soldier to cvi ■ the popula
tion—and I believe that the establishment of
such a standard would be safe and judicious In
every re?pect.
I uring the past few years rapid progress
has been made in the equipment of the Atlan
tic, Pacific and gulf consts with modern de
!, and If the general plan is carried out
it is hoped that In a !>hnrt time our coasts will
be In a proper condition of defense.
Some very important discoveries have been
made In relation to ordnance, projectiles and
high explosives, and after careful, thorough
and exhaustive tests appliances have V.-^r:
ted which will greatly increase the effi
ciency of our armament.

FORTY-EIGHTH'S
LINE OFFICERS
ARE COLORED
Arrival of the Fort
Thomas Regiment.
CROWD OF HAPPY FIGHTERS
THEY BOAST OF A BAND THAT
HAS NOT BEEN BEATEN.
The Forty-eighth Infantry marched out
to the Presidio yesterday and took the
place of the Forty-sixth, that earlier in
the day had left the camp and started for
the transport dock. The two regiments
passed each other on the way and before
night the Forty-sixth was well on tts
way to Manila, and the Forty-eighth was
enjoying Itself at the Presidio.
The Forty-eighth is one of the two
colored regiments mustered in under the
second call. It was rendezvoused at Fort
Thomas, Kentucky, and was recruited all
through the Southern and Eastern
States. Colonel Duval, who was lieu
tenant colonel of the Twenty -sixth, is in
command.
The regiment is something of a novelty
aside from the fact that it is made up of
negroes. It is the first regiment coming
here with colored officers, and it created
a great sensation on that account. All
the line officers, the captains, first lieu
tenants and second lieutenants of the
companies are colored. The field and
staff officers are white. The colored of-
Jicers were druwn from the regular army,
the best of the sergeants of the colored
cavalry regiments and a few from the in
fan try being chosen. Their colonel spe.iks
well "of them and says they will make
capable officers. The regiment has not
been more than seven weeks : .n existence
r" necessity drill has been sub
ordinated to target practice, so there are
many of the reiiuits who are a hit green,
but before they leave for the islands the
colored Forty-eighth will be up with the
In one thing it Is far ahead of anything
In the volunteer line that has so far
struck the Presidio; it has a band that
music. It is not a vehicle for
brazen boisterousness, but one that plays
It v. ere- a pleasure, not a duty. Be
fore the regiment started from .he ferry,
and while the band and headquarters
wen waiting for the column to form, tne
band played for the people coming to and
from the ferry, and there was not
one out recognize J Lhat the colored band
was worth stopping to listen to. The tn n
: up here and there just as the
regiment was, and in the few weeks they
:hey have made re
resa They have for leader
imaster of the Twenty
fltth Regiment, another colored com
mand, and they have taken hold of their
v> irk with true negro ear for music.
Already the question is going the rounds
among the m«-n at the post as to whether
or not the negro officers Bhould be saluted
by the white privates, but it is only those
who know little of military law that
• a moment discussing it. The white
soldiers will have to accord the colored
ra the courtesies due to their rank.
In military lew the man is not recognized;
It is the rank and the commission. The ;
colored ol'lcers have been commissioned
by the President, and no matter what the
subordinate may think of the man, 'he
must recognize the uniform and the
shoulder strap. The white officers are
compelled to do it when they meet a col
ored man superior to them in rank, and j
they lose nothing of their dignity in dcin;?
so, and the same rule must apply to the
white soldiers.
The regiment is as happy go lucky a
set "l" men as might well be found. Thert
were no prospects of supper last evening,
but there was no growling and no moping.
The men stood around and played games
and jumped and laughed and sang, ana
then when the call for guard mount came '■
they all trooped up the hill to watch the i
ceremony. Their principal work for the
next week or so will be drilling on the
hills, with two or three companies con
stantly at the range.
The Nevada cavalry will be mustered
out to-day. The men have four ninths
and a half in pay coming to them, two
month? of that amount being the gratuity
given by the Government. Rev. F. Vernon
Jones, a prominent clergyman of Reno,
arrived at the camp yesterday as a rep
resentative of the citizens of Nevada to
makr arrangements for the transportation
nf the troops home and to escort them
thore. The men will have a special car
attached tn the overland, which will leave
b< re Friday evening.

AMERICAN LOSSES IN
BATTLE AND BY DISEASE
WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.— Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg"s annual report gives a
comprehensive view of the health ot the
troops on the field and at home, the
casualties and losses in battle and in hos
pital, as extended to the sick and
wounded and other information relating
to the physical welfare of the army The
total number of deaths in our armies in
cluding regulars and volunteers, from
May 1. 1898, to June 30. 1599, were fifilli of
whom 196 were killed in battle 216 killed
| by accident, 202 died of gunshot wounds
and wounds received in action. 2774 tiom
typhoid fever, 476 from malaria fever 3'>9
from pneumonia. 342 from diarrhea 'and
dysentry and 185 from yellow fever
As to food supplies. "General Sternberg
says he considered it wise to go slow in
changing the army ration until experience
has shown just what changes are "*as
suredly desirable. He refers to tne agita
tion over canned roast beef and re
| frigerated beef and says that at that time
v ■ re on file only two complaints as
to th- beef supply. The only criticism
I made by medical officers, he says is that
: the ration for the tropics should have
1 less fat and more starch and sugar.
The report recommends an increase of
the medical corps and the establishing of
camping grounds through !h<- country
ready for troops when they are mobilized

JAPAN HOLDS THREE
OF THE PHILIPPINES
Were Not Ceded Because of the Igno
• ranee of the Spanish-American
Peace Commissioners.
MADRID. Nov. 14.— 1n the Spanish
Senate to-day Senor Montero Rios, reply
ing to Co - int Almenas, who recently de
clared that owing to the ignorance of the
Spanish-American peace treaty com
missioners three islands of the Philip
pine group— the two Battanos and Cnla
yan island, both north of Luzon— were
not included in the scope of the treaty,
said the islands referred to were not
ceded because they belonged to Japan
and were not claimed by the Americans.
Senor Rios urged the Premier. Sciior
Silvela. to demand a fulfillment by the
Americans of their engagements under
the treaty providing for commercial nd
vantages .'o Spain in the Philippines.
Senor Silvela replied that difficulties had
arisen in the execution of those stipula
tions in the treaty doubtless because
the Americans had not yet fully es
tablished their way in the Philippines.
