MORR TRANSPORTS ARRIVE
Gen. Young Now Takes Command of
Cavalry, Gen. Weeelei‘ Will Hold the
Reins Till Shatter Arrives. Great Im-
provements Are Seen Dally. Camp Wlll
Soon Be a Model One.
Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, Aug.
20.—Ma10r_ General S. M. B. Young re-
tired from the command of Camp Wo-
koff yesterday morning and General
Wheeler took the reins. The new com-
mander's first announcement upon Ital;-
ing hold was that he would rescind.
none of the orders for camp govern-
ment issued by his predecessor, and
that the completion of the camp would
be carried Olilt on the plans laid dowu
by General Young. General Young
takes command of the cavary under
General Wheeler, whose term as com-
mander of‘uthe camp will extend only
until the arrival of General Shafter.
Every day now sees grealt improve~
ment in the condition of both sick and
well, and by the time that the last
transport shall have arrived from San:
tiago, Cramp Wlkoff will be a model
among camps and a. credit to the men
who planned and built it.
est improvement made so far is the
building of roads by the few com-
panlies of volunteer engineers, which
have been here but a. few weeks.
GEN. JOSEPH WHLELER.
In the six miles of road which con-
nect Ibhe various sub-divisions of the
camp with the railroad station :there
is now no part that cannot be travelled
by night as well as by day with pen:
f-ect safety. The inability of the wag-
on trains to supply materials as fast
as 'they were needed to the workmen
engaged in building floors arid erecting
tents has ceased to exist, and now,
from dawn iiiitll nightfall, the three
hundred wagons included in the many
trains run 'w‘dithout interruption. Brid-
ges have been built over the streams
which drain the marshy bits of low-
lands between the hills. Hollows have
been filled and hills levellel, unltll trav-
el is gasy, and the work of transpor-
tationé’dan be 'x’ushed as fast as is de-
sired. *7;
The 'pToblem of getting water *was
solved more than a week ago, but not
until to-day have the plans of the well
diggers for supplying the camps been
carried out. The erection last night
of 'a. large tank, big enough at the
bottom for four horses to find ample
stable room in, and having a. capacity
of 25,000 gallons, on the top of Rocky
Ridge, overlooking the cavalry. camps,
was co-mplexted,'a.nd'to-day the cavalry-
men are drawing drinking water from
faucets, and all along Ithe many lines
of tents on the east plateaus there is
more contentment that: [there has been
at‘any time before. A pump which
can supply 700,000 gallons 0 day, forces
the water up a steep incline for a. dis-
tance of half a. mile into the tank,
which is so high above the level of the
camps as to furnish ample. pressure for
the three miles of small pipes which
form the distributing system.
The well from which the water is
drawn furnishes only 200,000 gallons
per day, and not until the other wells
now digging 'in the vicinity are ready
can the full supply be obtained.
The Seneca reached here from Santi-
ago soon after midnight and the Mobile
arrived a few hours later. On board
the Seneca were 400 members of the
Fourth United States infantry. Dr. Ma.-
gruder visited the Seneca soon after
daybreak and was pleased to‘find that
there was no illness on board, except a
few cases of malarial fever.
He gave permission for the soldiers
to land, and thetdebarkati-on began at -
8 o’clock. Three hours later all the
troops Were ashore
them established in their camp, which
was in readiness for them. -
The ferryboat Nevada. also arrived
here with 250 horses for the use of the
sanitary department on board. One
hundred and twenty-five wagons for
similar use came by train.
So many patients have already gone
into the hospitals that more nurses are
needed and next week twenty-five sis-
ters of charity who have volunteered
to come :will be, in charge of many of
the fever wards. Already Ithirty fe—
male nurses furnished by «the Red Cross
society have been placed in the gen-
eral hospital.
‘S‘ome fifty more nurses are neces-
sary to equip the hospitals, and the 100
asked for by the Red Cross Society Wlll
arrive within a. week.
The Signal Corps Ito-day began the
erection of the electric 'light plant
which General Young Ordered to e put
in, and before noon four miles of cable
The dynamo and the
boilers, which weigh five tons, were
carried from the station on specially
constructed trucks drawn by
mules each, They were placed near
the signal headquarters and will be

cludes fifty high power are lights to
be placedas to light all of the camps
and the roads as well. . _

Among the many plans for the com-
fort and convenience of the soldiers,
conceived and set on footby General
Young, is that of establishing a bank
Where checks. can be cashed. and the
difficulty thesoldlers encounter in pro-
curing money wlll be'reduced to a min—

proved the plan and the bank will be
established within a few days. An as-

charge, and any check properly drawn
up and endorsed. when presented by a
properly identified soldier, will be
cashed. The army pay rolls will be
used as a book of reference to guard
against frauds.

showed that there were 480 soldiers in

REIMBURSING THE STATES.
Secretary-Gaze Lay": Down Rules for Pay
in: Their War Expenses.
lVashington, Aug. 2_0.—Secretary Gage
has-made the following rules for the
reimbursement of the governors of
states and territories for war expenses:
Accounts or claims for reimburse-
ment, with vouchers for all expendit~
ures made, must be referred to the au-
ditor for the war department for inves-
tigation. \
Suc‘h accounts of claims are to be
settled upon proper vouchers passed
upon by the auditor of the war depart-
ment and the comptroller of the treas-
ury.
Original itemized bills must be furn-
ished in all cases where it is practica-
ble to do so. In case-s where they are
omitted, satisfactory reasons must bra
given for their omission. The vouchers
given by the creditors of the states
and territories mu:t accompany the
claims. No payment will be made di-
rectly to a creditor Of a state or terri-
tory. -
The certificate in support of'every
account, v0ucher, 0r“cla.im must be
made in the form prescribed by the
comptroller of the treasury and signed
by the governor.
The transportation to be reimbursed
as reason-able costs incurred and'pald
by the governor of any state or terri-
tory in aiding the United States raise
the volunteer army is only the trans~
oorta'ti'on of men of his state or terri-
tory who were afterward accepted into
the volunteer army from Uhe place of
their enrollment to the place of their
acceptance by the musterl-ng Ofi'icer.
NO reimbursements can be made for
any costs incurred on account of men
who were not afterward accepted in the
volunteer army.
NO interest can be refunded by the
United States in case where the money
to pay the reaso nable expenses incurred
in aiding «the United States to raise the
volunteer army has been or may here-
after be borrowed.
The rules and regulations for the set-
tlement of claims under the act of July
27,1861, may be taken as a. guide so far
as applicable in bhe settlement of the
claims under the act. of July 8, 1898.

Discharggg.’ __.;\ men--
Washington, ’Aug. 20.-—-Preparatllons
are being made rapidly for the muster-
ing out of from 75,000 to 100,000 men Of
the volunteer army. The list of reg!-
men-ts whose services are to be 'dis-
pensed with will probably not be made
up for about a. Week, but the authori-
ties have already decided on the mus-
tering. out of several organizations,
and these are being ordered (to proceed
from their present stations at the front
or in southern camps to camps situated
in their own states. The administra-
tion is thus observing its policy to
muster out the volunteers at points as
near as possible to their homes.
Meanwhile/the troops will have the
benefit of a change of climate and wlil
become recuperated in health.
An order was issued last night direct-
‘ \‘fi‘sn- ~-
_ing the Second New York volunteers to
proceed from camp at Fernandina, Fla.,
to Troy, N. Y., where it will probably
be mustered out.
Ifi'awas the intention to have this
regiment go to Huntsville, Ala, for
the present, but through the influence
of Senator Murphy and others. the or-
der was changed so as to send it into
camp at Troy.
Orders were sent from the war d-e-
pa-rtment yesterday changing the sta-
tion of the First Illinois and the First
Maine volunteers from Chickamauga
to Springfield, Il'l., and Augusta, Me,
respectively, where they will be dis-
banded. -
An order was also sent directing the
Fiftyasecond Iowa regimen-t to
Moines.

PRICE OF SHARES To BE ADVAIIIIED AUGUST 3|. IBSB.
Mr. Joseph Ladue, fife pioneer of the Klondike, and founder of
Dawson City, aided by some of the most conservative and successful finan-
ciers of New-York, is operating the strongest company yet formed for
mining and trading in the Yukon gold fields.
To this Company he has transferred placer claims on Hunks: and
Gold Bottom Cleeks, the “Marguerite " Quartz Mine, his Saw Mill, ,. .
his Timber Lease, that virtually monopolizes the saw timber on the '
Klondike, and large holdings of Choice Town Lots in Dawson City.
The Company also owns the S. S. “ Morgan City ” now earning $20,000 per
month, and has shipped up the Yukon several hundred tons of merchandise,
for trade, upon which a very large profit is assured. The U. S. Government ’
reports certify that the saw mill produces about two million feet of lumber
in the open season, sales price of which is from $140 to $240 per 1,000 feet
according to class. "’ mg. .,

The preferred stock has a first lien on earnings for its dividend,
and on the assets of the Company for its par value, and after all the 1
stock of the Company has received 6 per cent, the surplus earnings are 1
shared pro rata by the preferred and common stock. ,
, Thus the preferred stock practically offers the safeguards and advantages 1
of a first mortgage bond, coupled with an earning capacity as great as that of I
the common stbck. i
