GEN. SHAFTER
WILL RETURN
He Says That He Will Resume Com
mand of the Department of Cali
fornia. San Francisco, Sept. 26. Advices
from General Shafter to friends in this
city say that he will soon return to re
sume his station here as commander of
the department of California, relieving
General Merriam, who will probably be'
assigned to his former duties as .com
mander of the department of the Co
lumbia. Brigadier-General Miller says he may
go to Manila on one of the first trans
ports to leave with what remains to him
of the First brigade, of which the Wash
ington regiment is now considered a
part. In that case, Colonel Funeton,
with the Kansas, Iowa and Tennessee
regiments, forming the second brigade,
will go last.
Should no general officer be assigned to
duty as commandant at the presidio,
Major G. H. Kinsie will be General
Miller's probable successor to that title.
CUBANS EATING
MULES AND HORSES
Terrible Conditions Reported in Santa
Clara Troops Are Starving and
Desperate and General Gomez Has
Sent an Appeal to This Country for
Relief. '
New York, Sept. 26. Telegrams
were received at the Cuban legation last
night from commissioners who arrived
at Key West, says the Pres.s correspond
ent at Washington, sent to this country
by General Gomez, the Cuban insurgent
leader.
These telegrams depict the situation
in the province of Santa Clara as most
critical. The Cuban army is said to be
starving. The vegetables are almost
gone, and the last mules and horses have
been killed to feed the sick. Old people
and children are said to be dying by
dozens every day.
The general appeals for aid and says
the situation is desperate. The Span
iards are doing all they can to make the
insurgents' situation more terrible. It
is feared that serious results may arise
from this, and the Cubans cannot be
blamed if they are forced to take the
necessaries of life. This they could do
by capturing a town, but they have
pledged themselves not to violate the
armistice, and they, therefore, appeal to
the United States in order to avoid a
conflict.

A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle at
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
; NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago ds
Cuba Were all Heroes Their Heroic
Kflforts In Getting Ammunition and
Rations to tlie front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
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 rationSj but
thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep at 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 myeelf 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."
The above letter was written to the
manufacturers of this medicide, the
Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moines,
Iowa. For sale by Blakeley and Hough
ton. A Chicago dispatch of late date says :
"The Loudon auction sales, are looked
forward to ad a factor which will have a
stimulating influence upon the present
condition of the wool trade. Many-close
observers of the strength of foreign
markets think that there will be an ad
vance ot fully five per cent, upon merino
wools. There will be about 230,000 bales
of wool offered at these series, and if good
competition asserts itself with a reason
able advance, all doubts regarding the
values of American wool will be re
moved. It is reported npon good
authority that several hundred thou
sand pounds of foreign wool now lying
in bond at sea-board points, is soon to
be shipped to foreign ports. If a fair
remuneration is received by the shipper
in this venture large lines of other wool
will certajnly follow. It may be the
mean 8 of opening the eyes of some large
manufacturer to the reality of present
cheapness of American wools, and re
lease the market from the inactivity
and sluggishness that has so long ex
isted. Dissolution Notice.
Notice io hereby given that the part
nership heretofore existing between F.
S. Gunning and J. D. Hockman, ucder
