Th Pekioge Conspiracy.
Lon-dox, Sept. 26. The Daily Tele
graph's Cairo correspondent, telegraph
ing Monday, says:
General Kitchner found the French at
Fashoda. He notifiedMajor Marchand
that he had express instructions that the
territory was British, and that the
French must retire, and offered them'
passage to Cairo. Major Marchand ab
solutely declined to retire unless ordered
to do so by his government. No fight
ing occurred.
Major Marchand was given clearly to
understand that the British ineisted
upon their claims, and the rest has been
left to be settled by diplomacy between
the representative governments. Gen
eral Kitchner sent a long official dispatch
to London, hoisted the union jack and
the Egyptian ensign, and left as a garri
son the Eleventh and Thirteenth Sou
danese batallions, and the Cammeron
Highlanders, to protect the British flag.
Colonel Jackson commanded the garri
son. The Cairo correspondent of the Times

It is certain that there are no Abys

which was captured.
PARTY OF
SEVEN MISSING
Believed to Have Been Lost in Alaska
Marshes.
Seattle, Wash., Sept. 24. The terri
ble floating marshes between the Nelson
and Peace rivers are .believed to have
claimed as victims a party of seven while
prospectors who left Fort St. John early
in the year, and who have not been
heard of since.
The prospecting party had reached
Fort St. John on their way to the Y ukon.
They had taken the Edmonton route,
and bad been a long time on the. way.
They were in a hurry, and" decided to
take a short cut across the . marshes.
They intended to go down the Nelson
river to the Liard an J up that stream
until they could portage to the Pelly.
They were warned of the danger, but
persisted in starting out with a big out
fit of eupplies and many horses. Tbey
did not return to St. John, and have not
arrived at Fort Nelson, according to
prospectors who have just reached Daw
son. It wool J b us lass to search fcr their
bodies on the marshes, for the oozing
black mnd, constantly changing ' even
the spots of seemingly dry land within a
few hours. Indians have lost their lives
in the treacherous mud before, and the
natives won't cross it.
TWO MEN
WERE RUN OVER
One Instantly Killed, the Other Badly
Hurt.
North Yakima, Wash., Sept. 25.
Dan Reagan, a man who had been ill in
the hospital here several weeks, while
walking on the track near the stock
yards, Eouth of the city, was run over
and killed by a freight train, which was
switching on the "Y." Reagan was
deaf and did not hear the shouts of
warning of a train crew nearly 100 feet
ahead of him. The train crew heard
cries, and got off the track and ran back
to Reagan, but it was too late. The
train ran over the body of the latter,
cutting it in two in the middle. Reagan
had been living here but a short time,
coming to Yakima from Oregon. The
cororner's inquest placed no blame on
the railroad company.
Louis Tuoll, a German section band,
was run over by a hand car carrying ten
men this morning. He was badly
crushed and bruised, but bis lite is not
in danger. He fell off the car while it
was in motion.

DISCHARGES
War Department Overrun With Appli
cations Those Received Through
Military Channels Will be Acted
Upon.
Washington, Sept, 24. Assistant Adjutant-General
Ward, who is directly"
in charge of the enlisted service at the
war department, has dispatched the fol
lowing telegram to the commanding of
ficers of the military camps and depart
ments :
"The war department is overrun with
applications for discharges - of enlisted
men from members of congress, govern
ors of states, mayors of cities, friends,
relatives and others. The acting secre
tiry of war desires that you issue gen
eral orders today to your command call
ing attention to paragraphs 762 and 765,
army regulations, and to the fact that
the war department will not eutertain
applications for discharges, excepting
they reach it through military chan
nels." Colonel Ward has also found it neces
sary to send the following instructions
by telegraph to hasten action under this
oder:
"The department is advised that com
manding officers ara holding back ap
plications of enlisted men for discharges.
The acting secretary of war directs that
you instruct all company, troop, battery
and regimental commanders of your
command by telegraph, that such appli
cations must be forwarded immediately,
approved or disapproved, as provided in
army regulations 765, through regular
military channels for action by the war
department. Acknowledge receipt and
report action."
It is reported that the war department
was inspired tc hasten the action of the
department commanders in these cases

and representatives, for information as
to its intentions regarding applications
of soldiers for discharge, which have not
yet been received.

A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle at
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba Were all Heroes Their Heroic
Kfforts in -GettlDg Ammunition and
ICatlons to the Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of paqk-train No. ?,
writing from Sandiago, De Cuba, on
July 23d, says: "We all had diarrhoea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
plied with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep lit work and keep our health ; in
fact, I sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers bad been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. My com
rad and myself had the good fortune to
lay in a supply of this medicine for out
pack-train before we left Tampa, and I
know in four cases it absolutely saved
life."
