ELDER'S SECOND TRIP
Portland Steamer Starts for
Alaska Yesterday
WITH A FULL PASSENGER LIST
Her Freight Capacity Taxed All the
Hut ns She Can Carry No Con
fusion in Loading.
PoBtLAND, Aug. 16. The preparations
for the departure of the George W. El
der this afternoon for Skaguay and Dyea
have not been attended by the same con
fuBion and feverish excitement that were
so noticeable prior to the preyious trip.
There is still a Klondike fever raging,
but the reports from the mountain pass
es leading to the Yukon have instilled a
degree of moderation into the veins of
the gold-seekers. The capacity of the
Elder was taxed, but the passengers
were eober and deliberate in their ar
rangements. Their outfits were more
complete than those who went before,
and the information derived from the
experience of the first crowd has enabled
all to prepare for the trip with better,
understanding.
The character of the freight taken on
the Elder this trip is also different from
the previous cargo. Mr. Poston, the
agent of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company, states that there will be
about 250 tons of supplies, etc., onboard,
and the remaining freight will be pro
vender for the horses taken this trip and
already at Dyea and Skaguay. As the
number of animals collected at the
mountain passes for packing purposes
increases, this trade alone will be a con
siderable item. Feed is bound to be
scarce there, which necessitates - ship
ment from the Sound, here, or San Fran
cisco. Hay and grain were yesterday
pacfean great heaps on the wharf, and
were being stowed away in the hold
of the Elder as rapidly as her steam
windlasses could operate.
The number of horses taken on this
trip will tax the capacity of the boat for
stock and many more would be taken if
there was more room. Every owner of
a piece of horseflesh capable of support
ing a few pounds of freight eeems to be
fired with the belief that Oregon's cheap
horses have at last found a happy
market. The report has been circulated
recently that horses were being sold for
$500 and $600 at Dyea and Skaguay.
Well-founded information, however, dis
credits the fabulous price reported, and
is to the eject that horses can be had at
Dyea for $150. Even at this figure the
freight being added to the purchase
price of some of the plugs started from
here, and then deducted from the above,
would leave a handsome profit to the
speculator. The carrying power of the
steamers is all that saves the rocky
shores at the head of Lynn canal from
being covered with half-starved horses.
The number to be taken on this trip is
approximately 150, being about the same
as before.
The arrangements of the steamship
company are much more satisfactory
now than they were before. The load
ing and stowing of freight is now con
ducted without confusion or rush. The
method of marking freight and prepar
ing it for shipment has improved, thus
relieving the steamship officials of much
annoyance and trouble.
Dogs do not seem to be in such de
mand now as they were when the Elder
made her previous trip. Of all the bene
ficial features in connection with the
Klondike discovery, people of the city
were hopeful that it would create 'a de
mand for the canine. Late Bleepers
would have reaped a harvest, not exact
ly golden, but equally satisfactory.

goats already for the voyage. He has
with him ten little pack saddles, with
girths, belts and straps, which he pur
poses to use for harnessing bis goats to
their burden. This is a novel venture,
which is creating much speculation as
to its success. No one doubts the goat's
ability to climb, but his carrying power
during the act is the question. If the
burdens are light, and the driver does
not guard his little beasts carefully, ad
mirers of goats predict that Becker may
find his animals complacently looking
down from the crags of St. Elias. or
other convenient peake.
The work of getting the little river
steamboat Eugene ready for the Yukon
is progressing steadily. She is now
nearly finished, and her owners expect
to start her for the Yukon next Tuesday.
Receipt of freight and reservations for
passengers continue, and will be kept up
nntil the 20th inst., which is the latest
date freight can be received here, and
then reach the Bound by the time the
Bristol sails. The all-water route com
mends itself to many persons who have
studied carefully the mountain passes.
The crowds flocking about Skaguay and
Dyea, anxiously waiting for passage over
the trails, causes the later arrivals to
look for other routes where there will be
no delay. The St. Michaels route is ad
mitted by all to be the easiest, if the
boats make the trip before the river is
blocked with ice.

His Chilly Reception at the Capital
Reply to Bis Resignation.
New York, Aug. 14. A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana, via Key West,
savs :
Captain-General Weyler's summer
campaign came to an inglorious end last
Wednesday, when he returned to the
city with rebels firing on his rear guard
all the way from Aguacate to Havana.
The general made a public entry into
the capital, but his reception was chilly.
General Weyler cabled his resignation
to Madrid on Thursday. Last night I
saw a copy of the reply he received. He
was told to remain in Cuba so long as
the present ministry holds power. The
suspense here is intense, but no excite
ment appears on the surface.
The captain-general who. succeeds
Weyler will have a hard task. The
splendid force of 200,000 men Spain
placed in General Weyler's hands is, if
the truth be told, now only a tattered
remnant.. A tropical sun has proved
more destructive than battles. With
the exception of the fortunate ones sta
tioned in and about Havana, the Spanish
forces are in a bad way. They have not
received pay for months; they are weak
from illness and poor food, and they are
badly clothed, and many have no shoes.
In short, the Spanish army in Cuba is
not inclined aud not in a position to take
the offensive.
An Insurgent Raid.
Havana, via Key West, Aug. 14. At
midnight last Wednesday, a band of in
surgents entered the town of Gutanamo,
province of Santiago de Cuba, and pro
ceeded to the jail where the insurgent
leader, Pericho Perez, has been confined
for some time, with the intention of
liberating him. An attack was made
upon the jail, but the insurgents were
compelled to retire by the troops sta
tioned in the prison. There were losses
on both sides. Simultaneously with the
entrance into the town of these insur
gents, others entered by different routes,
and joined forces on the Plaza de Armes.
Several stores were plundered. After an
engagement, the garrison of the town
compelled the insurgents to retire.
Rumors which have recently been put
in circulation to the effect that General
Weyler has forwarded his resignation
to Madrid are officially denied here.
The report that Evenalina Cisneros,
niece of president Cisneros, of the Cuba
provisional government, was sentenced
today to twenty years at the penal colony
on the coast of Africa, is untrue.

What UBe is therein eating when food
does you no good in fact, when it does
you more harm than good, for such is
the case if it is not digested?
If you have a loathing for food there
is no use of forcing it down, tor it will
not be digested. You must restore, the
digestive organs to their natural strength
and cause the food to be digested, when
an appetite will come, and with it a re
lish for food.
The tired, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy ; then you will
put flesh on your bones and become
strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
as made-by the Mount Lebanon Shakers
contains food already digested and is a
digester of foods as well. Its action is
prompt and its effects permanent.

The True Remedy.
W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111.,
"Cheif," says : "We won't keep house
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used Dr.
King's New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our home, as
in it we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc."
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as Dr. King's New Discov
ery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.
