' Suffering on the New Foundlaod
and Labrador Coasts.
Halifax, N. S., Aug. 7. A prospect
ing partywhich arrived on the'schooner
Cambridge tells of the starvation which
they encountered on the Newfoundland
: and Labrador coasts. Among the party
waa Dr. Morris, whose eervices were
required at Lewis inlet night and day to
give relief to persons sick and dying from
starvation. Large quantities of provis
ions were distributed from the vessel
The same condition of affairs exists all
along the coast. There are 1600 persons
similarly situated, and immediate re
lief is necessary.
It isaaid by them that their sufferings
will probably be intensified as the fish
enes there nave failed.

ARMY PATIENTS
IN HOSPITAL
The Sick at the Presidio Numbers 292--
., Both Buildings Full-Fire Tents
Erected Only One Patient Dan
gerously 111.
Ban - Fbaxcisco, Aug. 9. There are
now 292 patients in the divisional hoa
pital at the Preeidio. Both of the big
buildings in nse are full and five hospital
tents have been erected. Of the last 12
patients brought in seven have measles
three from the Seventh California, two
from the Fifly-firat Iowa,rone from the
First Tennessee, and one from the First
Oregon recruits. .The most serious case
in the division hospital Is that of First
Sergeant We3ley Kimmerly, of the First
Tennessee, regiment, who has spinal
meningitis and is not expected to live.
-In the Preeidio post hospital there are
S3 cases, a decrease of two from the
total Saturday morning. Only one
patient is dangerously ill.
GENERAL SHAFTER
NOT RESPONSIBLE
Everything Possible was Sent With the
Sick and Wounded Shortage of
- Water Inexcusable.
Washington, Aug. 9. General Shatt
er, in his report to the war department,
emphatically denies that he is respon
sible for the inadequate provision made
for the sick and wounded brought from
Santiago da Cuba to the United States
on'the Seneca and Concho. ' Everything
possible, he says, waa sent with the sick
and wounded. The shortage of water,
he says Is inexcusable. He conclude!
' tri rpnnrt - .
"There is no excuse for lack of food,
as there has at all times been plenty of
that. I have no doubt that many more
were put on the ships than should have
gone, owing to the yellow fever and hos
pital accommodations. There never has
been a case of suffering here that could
be remedied that waa not attended to.
The surgeons worked as well as any men
that ever lived, and their complaint has
been a lack of means and facilities. I
do not complain of this, for no one
could have foreseen all that would be
required, but I will not submit to having
the blame laid on me tor lack of hospital
facilities."
THE ANSWER
COMING SLOWLY
Is Probably Not a Brief and Simple
Acceptance but Somewhat Differ
ent From What We Presented.
Washington, Aug. 8. Spain's answer
to the demands of the United States is
now on its way to Washington, but it is
coming slowly. There are no less than
five translations, four of them cipher, in
transmission between Madrid and Wash
ington. After the Spanish cabinet meet
ing last night the response was reduced
to Spanish cipher and then sent to the
Spanish ambassador at Paris, by whom
it waa to bo translated into French,
after which the ambassador waa to de
liver it to the French foreign office to
be reduced to French cipher for trans
mission to the French ambassador here.
These moves take, it is calculated, eight
or ten hours. .
The impression, is growing in official
quarters that the Spanish answer, while
in the nature of a concession to Ameri
can demands, is not' a brief and simple
acceptance, without reservation or con
dition. There is no direct official advice
on this point, but all official advices
from Madrid indicate that the response
is a document 01 considerate lengtn,
prepared with laborious care and that it
has several features which may not ap
pear in the conditions preeented by the
United States.
WILL LEAVE
THIS WEEK
The
Iowa Volunteers Have Assurance
That They Will Soon be Sent to
Manila.
San Fbascisco. Ang. 6. Colonel J
C. Loper, of the Fifty-first Iowa volun
teers, has received a telegram from Con-
giessman Hume, of that state, advising
him that his regiment would certainly
be Eent to Manila. As soon as the news
waa communicated to his command,
the band paraded through the streets of
the camp.
Brigadier General King will sail with
the troops on the transpprt Arizona,
which he expects will ba ready next
week.
MERRITT'S PLANS
MAY CHANGE
Peace Negotiations Unsettle All Ar
rangementsTroops May Remain
at San Francisco. .""
San Fbaxcisco, Aug. 8. - The big
transports Scandia and Arizona may
sail for the Philippines by the end of
the week, -but not before. There is a
growing belief that they may not carry
80 many men aa waa at first intended,
and that the beginning of peace nego
tiations will mean the mustering out the
troops remaining at Camp Merritt and
the Preeidio. General Merritt now has
with him or oa the way to Manila,
15,000 men. Nearly 5,000 tons of com
missary stores will go on the Scandia
and Arizona.
The only movements of troops during
the eariy part of the week will be the
beginning of their march to the Yoseni-
ite of the Utah cavalry and perhapa the
sailing of 450 members of the First New
York Regiment on the Mariposa; No
arrangements have been perfected for
the transportation of the rest of the
regiment, and they are likely to remain
here for eeveral weeka nnlees more ves
sels than are now in eight takes them.

families on the islands would settle the
labor problem there.. The Japanese
contract laborers might be sent back
borne at the expiration of their term of

respected.

THE INDIANS
ARE WRATHY
They Will Attempt to Prevent Shatter's
Army Staying at Montauk Point
A Legal Contest Likely.
Nuw Yobk, Aug. 6. The Times eays
There la a likelihood of a legal contest
growing out of the establishment of the
new camp at Montauk Point. Scott and
Treadwell, of this city, attorneys for
the Montauk tribe of Indians, has served
notice on United States attorney Griggs
that they claim ownership of the land
and protest against dealings for posses
sion of the point by the United States
government with the Long Island Rail
way Company.
FormerJudgeScott said last night that
the notice was served because his clients
did not wish to be held guilty of laches
by failure to assert their right at all
times when their rights were ignored.
"If the United States government
fails to recognize the rights of the In
dians," Judge Scott said, "proper pro'
ceedings will be instituted to compel it
to do so. The railroad haa no title to
this land, has been from the beginning
a trespasser, and so will be the govern
ment aleo if it ocenpies aDy part of Mon
tauk Point covered by the claim of the
Indians, unlees the occupancy is author
ized bv the Montauk tribe.'r
SIXTEEN NEW,
CASESOF TYPHOID
The Disease is Now Under Control
Camp Alger.
at
Washington, Aug. 6. The regimental
surgeons at Camp Alger report that the
typhoid epidemic ia' now well under
control. There were only 16 new caees
today. ' ... ,
The campaign in Porto Rico is pro
gressing and conditions at Santiago are
improving. mere win belittle surprise
here if culmination of peace arrange
ment brings about a. change in the
Spanish cabinet by concerted movement
among leaders to institute a cabinet
representing all elements, capaole of
taking responsibilty before the country
of acceptance of the American terms.
MONOPOLIZING
THE TRAFFIC
Americans Carry Most of the
Traffic
of the
Into the. Yukon Report
' Gold Output Exaggerated.
Ottawa, Oat., Aug. 6. Captain Con
stantino, who haa been in charge ot the
Northwestern mounted police in the
Yukon for the past four years, returned
here today. He ia preparing an official
report and refuses to apeak regarding
mining regulations and other matters of
a similar kind which affect Ynkon pop
ulation. He considers reports of the gold
output grossly exaggerated. Americana
seem to have almost a monopoly of
carrying traffic into the Yukon.

LET US TRY IT.
Perhaps We May Aid Onr Friends ia
Keeping Cool.
For over a week the residents of Tha
Dalles that :s, those who are left here
have been patiently enduring the ex
cessive heat, with the thermometer on
its highest horee, vainly hoping that a
breeze from "Greenland's icy moun
tains," or some place nearer home-,
wonld take compassion on us. - We are
about discouraged. But still there is a
selfish consolation in knowing that
others are in the "same boat," or 3
worse one. Every exchange which we
have occasion to peruse, relates the same
.tale of woe. Not only are the towns in
Eastern Oregon and Washington veri
table sweat-boxes, but Willamette val
ley as well is suffering from the same,
malady.
We have heard much in later yeara of
the influence of mind over matter, and
have been led to wonder if the theory
might not be applied with profit to our
condition at present. On every hand
are we reminded of the intenee heat,
which ia the one topic of conversation
at present, and aa we meet our friends
the first greeting is, "Is it warm enough
for you?" "Isn't it terrible?" ani so on,
until -one who waa really comfortable
when he started out, is fairly sweltering
before a half-dozen friends have been
met. -
Let us give this experiments trial at
least, and though we ourselves may be
"toasted," refrain from mentioning it to
our neighbors; but aa we meet them in
stead of putting the customary question
Is it warm enough for you?" because
we have nothing else to say, give them,
as the "elanguist" would say, the "icv
stare,' or the "cold frost." Perhaps it
wonld aid in cooling the atmosphere.
