ities Auioni; the Crews.
Neah Bay, Wash., Sept. 4, The rev
enue cutter Bear touched here on her
way down the coast. She has on board
Lieutenants Jayis and Bertholf and Dr.
Call, composing the relief party, and
ninety-one members of the whaling ves
eels which were wrecked in the North,
including the crew of the schooner,
Louiae J. Kenney.
Besides the los3 of the Orca and Free
man last fall, the schooner Rosatio was
the only other vessel that was crushed
iu the ice. The other vessels, the New
port, Jeanettee, Fearless and Uelvidere,
are all out and either on their way down
or have continued on their whaling
cruise. The Wander, which went into
Herschel island last fall when she found
ehe could not get out, is now known to
be Bafe.
Captain Newth of the Jaenette, w ho
was takes sick at Cape Smyth, came
down on the Bear, having turned his
vessel over to Thomas Ellis and Charles
Brewer.
The Bear reports that a petty officer
of the Rosario committed suicide by
drowning last spring, and that in June
Phil Mann of the Jessie Freeman,
dropped dead of heart failure. Gray, of
the Jaenette, died of dropsy. A Siber
ian and a Japanese attached to the fleet,
also died since the fleet was last heard
from.
When the crewB of the wrecked ves
sels came on board the Bear, alter she
reached Cape Smyth, there were 119 in
all. Twelve of these exchanged places
with a like number of the crew of the
Fearless, and eighteen shipped on other
vessels of the whaling fleet. . Two of
them shipped on the Morning Light at
Kootzebue sound ; six shipped on some
of the Yukon steamers when they got to
St. Michaels, and two others shipped on
the English ship Illala, on reaching
Dutch harbor.
NEXT AMBASSADOR
TO GREAT BRITAIN
At Least the President Has Decided to
Offer Him the Place 111 Health
the One Drawback to His Accept
ance of the Place.
New York, Sept. 13. A Washington
special says : ,
It is understood that President Mc
Kinley had decided to offer the post' of
ambassador to the court of St. James,
made vacant by the appointment of Mr.
Hay as secretary of state, to Senator
Hoar. The president is very anxious to
have him accept the post. He thinks
that Mr. Hoar would maintain the lofty
standards established at that court by
such ambassadors as as Lowell and Bay
ard. Senator Hoar is considered learned,
a diplomat by nature and long training,
tactful and gracious. The only thing
that stands in the w ay of his acceptance
is his own health, which has not been
been very strong for eorae time. His
friends thing1, however, that he is strong
enough for thepoat, and believe that he
will soon be in excellent physical con
dition. Mr. Hoar is, outside of hij own quali
ties, an ideal man in -the estimation of
the president. His mission to London
would create a vacancy which could and
would be filled acceptably by Secretary
of the Navy Long, whose friends are
anxious to see him round out his career
by a long and unchallenged seat in the
senate,
It is an understood thing that the
president is especially pleased by the
manner in which Long has conducted
the affairs of the navy department dur
ing the war, in which so much was ac-
complisned by American seamen, and is
anxious to promote any plans that may
lead to a seat in the senate lor the sec
retary of the navy.
FORTY OF EVERY
HUNDRED SICK
Five Deaths Have Occured in the
Regiment Illness Among All the
Troops on the Increase Crane's
Immunes Not Immunes Against
Deadly Malaria.
New York, Sept. 12. A dispatch
to the Herald 'from Santiago says:
Five men of the Fifth regulars have
died since their arrival here, 40 per cent
of the regiment being on the sick report
from malaria lever. Illness among all
the troops ij increasing.
Colonel Crane's immunes are in camp
on the banks of the San Jnan river.
This has had a fatal effect. There are
now more than SCO men in the hospital
or on the sick report. The illness is
attributed to the effect that the rains
on a country full of shallow graves, and
to miasma from the swampy surround
ings. A medical board was appointed today
to report upon sanitary conditions of
the camp and the advisability of its
immediate removal to San Luis to form
a part of General Fewer's brigade'
Colonel Hood's regiment, which has
been doing garrison duty in Santiago,
will this week bo relieved by the Fifth
regulars, the volunteers going to a camp
yet to be selected on the Kan Lnis rail
road. All the troops not absolutely needed
in the city will be sent to more healthful
camping places.

FAR WORSE
THAN DEATH
Life Imprisonment in Solitary Confine
ment is the Fate in Store for
the Cowardly Slayer of the Em
press of Austria.
New York, Sept. 13. A dispatch to
the World from Geneva says :
The life imprisonment with solitary
confinement in store for the Austrian
empress' assassin is declared by those ac
quainted with Swiss prisons to be vast
ly worse than death.
A correspondent who recently visited
the chief prison of the canton of Vaud,
where the assassin will be confined, de
scribes as sad indeed the reault of soli
tary life imprisonment. One man he
saw, the perpetrator of a series of
murders in the mountains, had been in
the cell for fifteen years, with the re
sult that he completely lost his reason.
The governor of the prisoner confessed
that in view of this and other similar
i cases, his views of capital punishment
had undergone a complete change, and
that he was now strongly in favor of the
death penalty.
Upon a sentence of life Imprisonment
the assassin will be placed in a small
dark cell, from which he will never
emerge and will be fed just enough to
enable him to support life.
IT IS A VERY
STRANGE TALE
How the Collier Scipio Became a Part
of the Naval Establishment of the
United States.
Nkw YonK.Sept. 13. Interesting facts
have just come to light concerning the
collier ship Ssipio, which has lain un
used in the navy yard since the outbreak
of the war.
In the middle of May one of our cruis
ers found a deserted ship about a hun
dred miles off Sandy Hook. The ship'
was in excellent shape, with plenty of
coal and a large quantity of smokeless
powder and a number of English cannon
on board. The vessel was the English
ship Ravenna, and why she was desert
ed off Sandy Hook with such a remark
able cargo is one Uncle Sam's secrets.
The Scipio is the Ravenna with a new
name.
There is a suspicion that the officers
of the cruder that found the Ravenna
might perhaps explain the mystery if
they choose, but so far the mystery, if
there be one, has been carefully pre
served. Xeafnesa Cannot DeiCured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tach ian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it iB en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tubs restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine casas out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which ia nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deaf ness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars : free.
