PORTO RICO RUMOR IS INVESTIGATED Snail Chance ol (lie Pennsylvania Troopi al Alger Being Sent. GENHKAL GODIN PAID A VISIT TO BKCUETAIIY OP WAIt ALGKlt ON SATURDAY TO M2ARN T11K TltUTH AllOUT THE ItUMOK-WllAT HE HEARD DOES NOT INCLINE MM TO THE BELIEF THAT MS MEN WILL DE CALLED UPON. Special from a. Staff Correspondent. Cnnip Alger, Vn., July 17. There has been a creat deal of Torto Illco talk during the last few days, but no one Is getting very much excited nbnut It. "When -the rumor was run down It de veloped that a rertnin high oillcer had said that If any troops from Camp Al ger were selected to make up the Porto Illcan expedition the Pennsylvania bri gade might he- among them. A cook, or water-carrier, or some other listener hastened forth with the story and set It going the rounds. It grew as It pro ceeded and after an hour had gained the proportions of a well-directed and nuthentlq statement that the Third bri gade was going to Porto Itleo next week. General Oobln thought the story was nothing better than a suimlse and a poor one at that. Three Pennsylvania regiments are now on waiting orders in Florida and they will most likely be given the preference, as they are bet ter prepared to contend with a hot climate than troops encamped In the north. If those three reslments go, General Oobln argues, there Is little likelihood of any other Pennsylvania troops being called, an the authorities will conclude that in this Pennsylva nia has been given her share. General Uutler was seen later and was of the fame opinion as General Gobln as to the weight of the story. ''General Gobln and his brigade will go to Dunn Lorlng," said General Butler. "If they are to go any farther than that I know nothing- of It." BECAME DISGUSTED. General Gobln became somewhat dis gusted over the refusal of the Porto Itlcan story to down and on Saturday morning went Into Washington to see If he could not get some news. Sec rotary Alger Informed htm that there was positively nothing he could tell him regarding the possible disposition of the Third brlsade. Ho would not even say that n Porto Illcan expedition was under way, although Oeneml Brooke, who It is repotted will con duct it, was sitting by during the in terview. General Gobln told the sec retary that If there was need of the Pennsylvania brigade he could have it nt an hour's notice. The situation can be summed up In this: A Porto Rican army Is In course of organization. If more troops are needed than can be supplied from Chickamaugua and Tampa a draft will be made on Camp Alger. If Camp Al ger 1s called upon to contribute, the Third brigade stands an equal chance with half a dozen other brigades of jeaelvlng the call. There Is all there Is to It at this writing and If Secretary Alger can be relted upon, no one, not even President McKinley, knows any thing more definite. General Gobln himself Is strongly of the onlnlon that his brigade will be included in the Porto Rican army, if one is formed. General Brooke is a Pennsylvanlan and a close personal friend of General Gobln. He made ap plication formally and added a per sonal request that General Gobln should be assigned to his corps, when the ilrst announcement was made of General Gobln's appointment as a brigadier. This fact would make It Fnfe to assume that If General Brooke hus anv say in the selection of the troo'ps' that will' compose his nrmy. General Gobln's brigade will be a part of It. MERRIMAN'S HARD LUCK. It may be some days before Assistant Surgeon George C. Merrlman will be privileged to- enter upon the duties of his new office. Of late he has been acting as division hospital steward and has- had charge of the company of one hundred and &ix orderlies. Thursday night about 30 o'clock he ordered his ill st sergtant to make a check roll call to ascertain If all the men were In their quarters. One of the men, thinking to add a little more excitement to the affair fired three, shots from his pistol. Major General Butler heard them and hnt two' aides out to investigate and If possible apprehend the, offender. They could only find that the shoot ing took place In the division hospital lines and that Lieutenant Merrlman or Sergeant Merrlman as he then was i.ad charge of the camp at the litiij. The next morning Generbl Butler sent for Doctor Merrlman and demanded that he give the name of the man who tired the shots. Dr. Merrlman said he could not as he did not know. General Butler very abruptly said: "You will consider yourself under arrest and In close confinement. Until further orders you will not leave your tent." When It wus seen what a serious phase the case was assuming, the man who fired the shots very honorably ivaltoiV upon Dr. Merrlman and admit ted his guilt, adding, also, that he In tended to wait upon General Butler and confess. When this Is done It is quite likely Doctor Merrlman will bo released "with the general's regrets that the occasion demanded such summary pro ceedings" and the like. It war. while under. .arrest .that the new assistant surceon received word of the receipt of his commission as lieutenant, from, llnrrlsburg.- Major Simon B. Cameron who has been spending a few days as tho guest of General Gobln, will go to Scranton tomorrow, to muster In three more companies into the national guard. He also expects to place a company In Carbondale. T. J, Duffy. 00SSIP OP THE CAMP. Speclal from a Staff Correspondent. Camp Alger, Va., July 17. Private Harris, of Company B, will not bo permanently affected by the pistol ball which he drove Into his heel during Thursday's celebration. The surgeons have not attempted to remove it, and likely will not. If, after the wound heels the ball disturbs him X-rays will be used to locate It, and It will bo ex tracted. Hereafter all baking is to bo dono on the grounds. Vermont ovens are to be Issued to each brigade and a de tail from each regiment will be as signed to do the baking. Instruction in this arm of the cullnury art Is to be Imparted by a couplo of expert bakers, who are members of the Ninth Ohio (colored) battalion. At present the .bread la purchased In Washing ton, a Arm of that city having con- traded to take the allowance of flour for the corps and for a small bonus give Its equivalent weight in bread. The new plan will save the bonus and cost of delivery, and will, besides, ac custom tho troops to do their own baking. Lieutenant Huff, of Company U, Is ofTlcer of the day. Trlvnte Michael II.

Grlfllths. of Com pany F, was today taken to the divis ion hospital suffering from nervous prostration. His Illness, It Is thought, Is the result of worry over being pub licly disgraced last Friday, when, by direction of a court martial he was stripped of his corporal's chevrons on the parade ground In front of the whole regiment, for having overstayed n town-pass twenty-four hours. A move ment Is afoot to have his case recon sidered, and by reason of his prevloua good record Is likely to succeed. It ap pears that he unfortunately witnessed a short brawl and was gathered in by the police and held over to give testi mony at police court the next morn ing. The fact that he telegraphed to his captain tjia.t he was detained at the police station was not brought out at the court martial. This and the records of the police court, showing that ho was held simply as a witness, will, or at least ought to, mitigate In his favor. After untiring efforts foj two months on the part of his mother and the un winding of about a mile of red tape at tho war department, Private Richard MoAndrew, of Company D, was yes terday granted his discharge and will In a day or two return to his home.

Last summer tho poison camo out on mo worse than ever before. I would frequently be awakened during tho nlgbt by the Itching. I would scratch myself, but instead of being relieved the trouble spread to different parts of my body. I tried various remedies which people recommended to mo, but none of them over helped me. I made up my mind the poison could not bo cured un til my blood was pure and then I decided to take Hood's Sarsoparllla. While tak ing the first bottle I felt relioved from tho itching.

Nothing has as yet been learned from Private Jesstip Klrkendnle, tho Com pany I? man who suddenly nnd mys teriously disappeared last Sunday. If he does not rreturu before next Tues day he will bo published as a' deserter. No one In his company will believe that ho has deserted. They incline rather to the suspicion that some accident has befallen him. The fart that he was In his shirt sleeves when he left the camp heightens this fear.

ECHOES OP THE WAR. Peter Biggins, of Mlnooka, received a letter Saturduy from his son John, who enlisted with Lieutenant Dcntlcr and is now in the ranks of Company C, Eleventh Infantry, stationed at Tampa. Speaking of soldier life nnd the war, he says: "You need not worry about me. I am all right. Myself nnd Mike Joyce leep together. On last Friday we hid target practice and we beat the whole erowl. Tho target we shot at was 4 x 1 and the distance was 100 yards. Out of a possi ble l.r0 points I made 13S, brea!iiC tho record of tho company at that distance. Mike Joyce came next with MS "Wo surprised all tho old timers to think that two raw recruits from the land of breakers and coal mln-s could put down Uncle Sam's well disciplined soldiers. But woe to the Spanlud that comes under the lire of the two Nlmrods of Long Island fame, for the thick un derbrush In Cuba is surely his grave. "Tell ma not to worry about me for we aro as happy here as the day is long. The sisters come to visit us twice a week and distribute scapulars and med als among the soldiers, We go to church every Sunday down to Tumpa. There are 250 wounded men hero now who have come over from Santiago, and they say that one American soldier can chnse four Spaniards. Lnst night I re ceived a piece of Spanish flag taken from a block house In Santiago, and will send It to you as n relic in my next letter. We have now our full equipment nnd aro ready to go at a moment s notice; but may'be we would not go nt all, as tho latest dispatches say that Santiago has surrendered and Spain Is suing for peace. We get the latest dispatches first. Wo are camped right along the seashore, waiting for a Spaniard to show his nose until we turn up his toes. Good-bye, write soon and let me know all about Mlnooka." Iligglns and Joyce were first class wing shots, und were reckoned among the best youngsters in that sport around the county. They aro both under age. Big gins being 19. He Is a well developed young man, and so Is Joyce. Lieutenant John J. Blandln. tho ofll cer on tho deck of the Maine on tho night it was blown up, who died at his home In Baltimore, Saturday, wis a cousin of Al Blandln, of the Scranton Ulcyclo club, nnd Georgo D. Blandln, of Ilonesdule. Lieu tenant Blandln's death was duo di rectly to tho shock hla nervous system sustained on the night the Malno was de stroyed In the harbor of Havana. Ms coolness on that memorable night was marvelous. After the explosion ho start ed for Captain Slgsbec'n cabin to report the fact and met the commander of the ship rushing toward the deck. The lieu tenant saluted with as much precision as bo would during a drill and calmly reported as follows: "Captain, the ship hus beer, blown up" and Is sinking." He received his orders and with Captain Slgsbcc began the work of rescuing tho men from tho vessel and the water, never ceasing his efforts until what was left of the Malno had sunk and all tho men struggling In tho water had been res cued. Later reaction set In and Lieuten ant Blandln has since been an Invalid. Mrs. C. Bow Dougherty, of Wllhes Barro, wife of Colonel Dougherty, of tho Ninth regiment, has returned from a visit to C.inip Thomas, Chlckamauga. "It is not the officers who need our sympa thy and help," she said, "because most of them can afford to buy whatever luxuries they need, but It Is tho poor private soldier who must tako what ho can got and say nothing. Typhoid fever 1ms broken out In camp and when I left there 130 of the Ninth regiment were la the hospital, nnd T have every reason to believe that the number has Increased since then. I went through the hospital and I don't want to see such siil'ferliur again. Of course, the men have tho ser vices of tho very best physicians, Drs. Stewart and Weaver, but they are work ed to death and so are the orderlies. I baw men lying In the hospital burning up with fever, while dozens ot mosquitoes hovered over them or rested upon their faces. The attendants are doing every thing possible for their comfort, but tho people here at home should know that there Is much to bo dono which tho gov ernment cannot do. and which wo must do." MAJOR WINT'S CONDITION. Mo Is Now on the Ilospllnl llont Itoliel. Major Wlnt, formerly of this city, wlio was shot during the battlo nt Santiago on July 1, while leading a charge of his battalion of the Tenth cavalry up the San Juan hill. Is on the hospital ship Relief now near Santiago, He was shot In the right thigh and tho bone was badly splintered. Ho will recover but It will be some time before lie will be able to get around, Major Wint's brother officers speak in tho hlghett terms of his bravery and his general has recommended hlni for promotion, Ono ot the most des perate assaults of the battle was en trusted to the Tenth cavalry which was dismounted and nctlnr as Infantry. Major Wlnt was leading his men up the steep San Juan hill amid a hall of Span ish bullets. A captain and lieutenant, who were fighting beside him, were shot down and killed, nnd then his men began to waver. Major Wlnt sprang some distance In advance of them and commanded them to follow him. They responded with it vill, the summit of San Juan hill was reached nnd tho trenches cleared of the Spanish soldiers. P.eforo this vat accomplished Major Wlnt had been wounded. Ho had the satisfaction, however, from where ho lay wounded and bleeding, of seeing his men take and retain the coveted piece of terri tory he led thorn to. SCENES AT THE FLAG RAISING Ceremonies ot llclillng tbe Stars and Stripes al Santiago. THE THRILLING SCENE WITNESSED BY 10,000 PEOPLE, PRINCIPALLY' WOMEN AND NON - COMBATANTS. CAPTAIN CAPRON'S BATTERY FIRES A SALUTE OF TWENTY-ONE GUNS-THE BANNER CHEERED BY AMERICAN TROOPS OUTSIDE THE CITY'. Santiago do Cuba, July 17, Sunday, 0 p. in. Tho Amerlcun Hag Is floating In triumph over the governor's palaco at Santiago do Cuba. General McKlbbon hns been appointed temporal y tnilltury governor. The ceremonies ot hoisting the Stars nnd Stripes was worth all the blood nnd treasure It cost. A vast concoutso of 10,000 people witnessed the stirring nnd thrilling scene that will live for ever in the minds of all the Americans present. A finer stage s-ettlng- for a dramatic episode It would be dlfllcult to Imagine. The palace, a picturesque old dwelling In the Moorish stylo of architecture faces the Tlaza de la Relna, the principal public square. Op posite rises the Imposing Catholic cath edral. On out side is n quaint, bril liantly painted building, with broad verandas the cluh of San Carlos, on the other a building of a much the same description, Is the Cale do la Ve nus. Across the plaza was drawn up tho Ninth Infantry, headed by the Sixth cavalry band. In the street facing tho palace stood n picked troop of the Sec ond cavalry, with draw n sabres, under command of Captain Brett. Massed on the stone flagging, be tween the band nnd tho line of horse men were the brigade commanders ot General Shaffer's division, with their staff On the red tiled roof of tjie palace stood Captain McKlttrlck, Lieutenant Mlley nnd Lieutenant AVheeler, Imme diately above them, upon the flagstaff, the Illuminated Spanish arms and the legand "Vive AI01170 XIII." THK BANNER UNFURLED. All about, pressing against the ve randa rails, ciowdlng to windows and doors and lining the roofs, were the people of the town principally women and non-combatants. Tho chimes ot the old cathedral rang out the hour of twelve, the Infantry and cavalry pre sented arms. Kverj American uncov ered; and Captain McKlttrlck hoisted the Stars an 3 Stripes. Ah the brilliant folds unfurled In a gentle breeze against a lleckless sky the cavalry band broke into the strains of "The Star Spangled Banner," making the American pulse leap and the American heart thrill with Joy. At the same instant the sound of the distant booming of Captain Cap ion's battery, flrln;r a salute of twenty one guns, drifted in. When the music ceased, fron. nil directions around our line camo floating across the plaza tho strains of the regimental bands und the muffled, boat so cheers of our troops. The Infantry came to "order arms" a, moment later, after the flag was up, and the band played "Rally Round tho Flag Boys," Instantly General AIcKlb bon called fur three cheers for "Jcneral Shatter, which were given with great enthusiasm, tho hand playing Sousa's "The Stars und Stripes Forever." The ceremony over, General Shafter nnd his staff returned to the American lines, leaving the city In the possession of the municipal authorities, subject to the control of General McKlbbon. sundav UAsn ball.
