BIG SHIPS FOR DEWEY
Navy Department Considering the
Sending oi Ships to Manila
ORDERS NOT YET ISSUED
It May Re Two llIonihs Before Any of the
Big Ships on This Coast Can Be Sent
to the l'aciflc. The Oregon Not Likely
to Go Anyway. Spain Wants‘ to Send
Some.
Washington, Sept. 7.—-The navy de-
partment is considering the advisabil-
ity of sending more ships to Manila to
take the places of‘some of those now in
Admiral Dewey’s command which. are
badly in need of an overhauling
through the long stay in the far East.
It has been the intention of the de-
partment ever since the surrender of
Santiago to send ships of Admiral
Sampson’s fleet to Manila. The origi-
nal idea was to augment Dewey’s
squadron by several battleships and
perhaps one armored cruiser. This,
however, was before the Spanish ov'er—
tures for peace were made, and the
Philippines question threatened to be
complicated by European interference.
Recent events have brought the gov-
ernment to the conclusion that while
the situation is not so serious it would
be well to have a. few seagoing arm-
ored vessels at Manila, and careful
consideration is now being given to the
subject. _
NO orders to ships have been issued,
nor has any preparation for sending
vessels on the long voyage been be-
gun.
The battleship Oregon, which was
originally intended for the Philippines,
will probably be retained on the At—
lantic coast. As for the Iowa, orders
have been issued to the commandant
cf the Brooklyn navy yard to have her
ready for service by September 18, but
she will not then be in the condition
that would justify the government in
sending her abroad.
It will take at least a month’s addi-
tional time to get her in shape for con-
tinued active service. Nearly all her
boats have been lost, her machinery
needs overhauling, and altogether she
will be far from available for a long’
cruise when the. repairs are completed
on September 18. As matters stand it
may be two months before any of the
big ships now on the eastern coast can
start out to an out Dewey’s squad-
ron.

Madrid, Sept. 7.—-The cabinet coun-
cil has decided to ask the United

STERNBERG VISITS MONT/wk.
Surgeon-General Thinks “(11:08 an Idea]
Camp.
CampFWikoff, Montauk Point, Sept.
7.——Surgeon General Sternberg of the
regular army was in camp yesterday
making a personal inspection of the
hospitals and sanitary conditions. In
speaking of the results of his investi-
gation General Siernberg said:
“1 am gratified to find Camp ‘Wikoff
in such excellent condition. I had been
led to believe that it was otherwise,
but I can now report, after a thorough’
examination, that this is an ideal camp
in every particular. As to the general
hospital, we have here the finest field
hospital ever constructed in the his-
tory of the world. No better site for
this camp could have been found on
the whole Atlantic coast. We have a
fine air, good water, a railroad to keep
us supplied with necessaries, and we
are isolated so far from towns and cit-
ies that we are not continually over-
run by peddlers and sightseers. I find
the general condition of the men to be
very good. The sick are receiving the
best medical attention. Most of the
suffering was from malarial fever but
that was unavoidable. Men cannot be
exposed to the great hardships of war,
the digging up of the soil for trenches,
and lying there without many con-
tracting malarial fever.
“1 find some typhoid fever here, but
not a great deal. As to an epidemic m
typhoid there is. no danger of that.
When Dr. Senn was quoted as having
said that this would be a pest hole of
typhoid in a month, it was because he
was misunderstood. He said what any
other physician would say, that ty-
phoid would result if the proper sani-
tary precautions we.» not taken. What
Dr. Senn said was meant to be a warn-
lng. There is absol;,‘.tely no indication
that there will be any trouble here. I
find sufficient sinks- lln-oughout the.
camp and they are D g properly at-
tended to. An abundance of 'quick lime
is being used and l have just ordered
1,000 more barrels. The water supply
is entirely satisfactory. ’
“Orders have been ' sued to regimen-
tal commanders to give furloughs free—
ly to all the sick and convalesccnts un-
der them. Men can now receive fur-
é‘
.....
,loughs from their regimental surgeon
direct without applying at the hos-
pital."
This is said to b: one of the results
of the president’s visit. About five
hundred men will be leaving daily
hereafter.
Orders have been received from the
secretary of war to send the regulars:
of the Fifth army corps composing
General Shafter’s command back to
their posts. It is c-si:ma.ted that within
two weeks all but: two divisions will
have left, and three will be retained
here indefinitely. .

mand though much of the detail work
will continue to be done by Generals
Wheeler and. Young.

The Rom! SHE-scriptions.
Washington, September 7.—The pros-
pect now is that the. subscribers to
$4,500 worth of the new war bonds to
the number of clove-n hundred or so
will receive allotments; in other words
the aggregate of: the bids thrown out
for nonconformity 'with the depart-
ment's regulations will reach about $5.-
000,000 worth, and the volume of bonds-
which would have gone to these sub-
scribers will be turned over to the per—
sons whose‘ names stand at the head
of the list of bidders still unsatisfied.
The chief offenders in New York are
the subscribers through the North
American Trust Company. It is not
known that the Officers of the company
were active participants in the busi-
ness. '
Judge White Declines.
Washington, Sept. 7.——There is no
longer a reasonable doubt that Judge
White has decided to decline the ap—
pointment of peace commissioner, and
that he refrains from making public
announcement of his purpose at the
request Of the president. it is inti-
mated that a very early announcement
may be looked for, as there is reason
to believe that the president has al-
ready made a tender of the commis-
sionership, and is new awaiting an ac—
ceptance, before making public that
fact. Arrangements for the departure
of the commission on the 17th inst,
from New York are. being pushed.
The Number Killed.
Washington, Sept. 7.—The official re-
cords of the war department, as far as
completed, show that there were 33 Of—
ficers and 231 enlisted men of the army,
264 in all, killed in battle during the
war with Spain.
These casualties include all the lives
lost by the army in the battles in the
Philippines as well as those in Cuba
and Porto Rico.

THE KLONDIKE GOLD-FIELDS.
Placer Diggings Nearly 'Exhausted—No
Gold-Bearing Quartz.
San Francisco, Sept. 7.—Capt. John
~ McCafferty, ex—collector of customs for
Alaska, and a mining engineer by pro-
fession, has arrived here from Dawson
City. His summing up of his experi-
ences is that the gold placer diggings
of the Yukon district are short lived,
andthat there are no true fissure veins
in that territory, because the country
is much broken and because the geo-
logical indications are such as to war-
rant the conviction that there is no
gold bearing quartz. Large broken
“deposits” of gold may be found there,
but they will be of the nature of pock-
ets and will not r
The most opinion ex-
pressed by him is that the placer dig-
gings are on the point Of being worked
out, and that many have barely paid
expenses.
The steamer Portland has arrived
from St. Michael with treasure estima—
ted at from one million and a half to
two million dollars. She brought down
a large number of passengers, most
of whom were carpenters, who had
been employed at St. Michael in put-
ting together several boats. There
were also thirty-five or forty miners
on board, nearly all being well sup—
plied with gold dust and nuggets.
A dispatch from Seattle says: “Colo-
nel McCook, United States consul at
Dawson, has had a Slight difficulty
with at Dominion official already, yet
he has been at Dawson but a few

to remove the United States flag from'
the store of the Alaska Commercial
Company at Dawson, and allow a Do-
minion customs of: or, Davis, to hoist

coat Of arms was removed from the
