One of Them Led a Party That Was
Ambushed by a Band of Dwarfs Ills
Body Sliced Up and Distributed
Among the Little Fiends.
Washington. , Nov. 23. A startling
and horrible story of the killing of two
Washingtonians and the mutilation of
their bodies by the natives of the Congo
Free State, has just been received here
In a letter to Mr. Leo Harmon, of 1723
Ninth street, northwest. The men were
members of a party who during No
vember and December, -,"1894, and Jan
uary, 1895, went fromthis city to en
list in the Belgian army for service
in the Congo state. Those enlisting in
cluded Edward Thornton, a commis
sioned officer of the National Fencibles
employed in the war department; Lind
say G. Burke, Frank Batehelor, Harry
R. Andrews, Barry Sparlin and a Mr.
Mellin or Mellen, who was at one time
a non-commissioned -oilicer in the Uni
ted States apy. Alt except Thornton
and Mellin-jwere members of the Na
tional Guard of the district.
The information received by Mr. Har
mon is that Burke ana a party of 50
natives who were sent out to dislodge
a band" of dwarf s, v. ho had revolted,
were ambushed and killed. An Arab
who was with the. 'command,' but who
was some distance off- at the time of
the ambuscade. state?;that he knows
Burke was dead before the natives
reached him and that the. most hideous
looking little man he ever saw walked
up and cut Burke's lu ad off with one
blow of a knife. The chief then began
to slice pieces off his legs and arms
and distributed them among his fol
lowers. There were so rrfany of the fiends that
the pieces were very small, and before
they had " concluded there was a free
fight to see who could have the little,
remaining. In some manner the dwarfs
became alarmed and left the place, one
fellowing carrying off Burke's arm. The
.Arab saw the cause of their alarm as
Windeey, a New-Yorker, who had .com
mand of another detachment of j sol
"fliers sent out on the same errand,
arrived a few hours after the natives
departed. Windeey gathered up; the
remains of Burke 'and buried 'them.
When Windeey learned the strength of
the rebels he hurried back to Michan
and notified the commandant of the
port. r - I
The other Washingtonian who lost his
life was kjlled when the troops under
the.commar.d of. Baron Dhanis revolted
near Kabambarre and assassinated a
number of officers of their regiments,
among them being Mellin. The body
of Mellin was butchered almost beyond
recognition, his heart having been cut
out and bjrned so that his courage
could not again be used against .the
rebels by the whites, as it is .their be
lief, that unless the heart is burned and
the ashes scattered to the four winds
the spirit of the man descends to his
brethren.
Thornton is said to be in a very
precarious situation at Basaka, but a
relief expedition has been sent to his
rescue. - .
Page, another American, is very sick
with the fever at Nyangiv.

Seattle, Wash., Nov. 29. Twenty-five
men arrived here yesterday on the City

They were divided into two parties, the
last one of which left Dawson Oct. 16.
They came cut over the Dawson trail,
and are reported "lifoaaye between them
$60,000 in drafts and S200.000 in gold
dust. -
All tell stories of a food shortage in
Dawson that is almost a famine. The
last person to leavf "Dawson was Jack
Dalton. When Dalton left the steam

landed light.' It is bald that the ieiia s
cargo consisted of whisky and billiard
balls. She brought no provisions. The
Canadian government mounted police
chartered the Bella, and gave all -who
wished a free passage to:the Yukon.
The Bella is reporte'd to have left about
Oct. 12 with 200 men
According to the statements made
by members of the Daiton party there
is liable to be trouble of the most seri
ous kind -this) winter iiT Dawson. Billy
Leak told one of the men1 in the party
ahead of him whom he met at Dyea
that all the people talk about at Daw
son is the food famine. Men were
gathering in groups and cursing with
mieht and main the new comers, that
were constantly arriving in the Klon
dike loaded with scarcely any pro
visions. The "mounted police were offer
ing transportation to the grub placers
further down the Yukon, to Fort
Yukon, but 50 the countless hundreds
who had labored hard all through the
summer, accumulating a grub stake,
the prospect was uninviting, to say the
least.
The men fisrure&that it would take all
their earnings in : gold to pay their
living expenses at Fort Yukon during
the winter, and that in the spring they
would nut even have enough left to
pav nassage money back to Dawson,
to say nothing of purchasing enough
food to subsist . ipitil" they could get
started again- T6 -these poor fellows
the ofier of the mct:nted police was no
letter than the prospect at Dawson of
being compered to live on half rations
until the supply ef -boats could reach
the diir-rings in the spring
John W. Brauer, the United States
mail carrier, who left Dawson Sept. 27,
said:
' "There is only one salvation for the
miners who are now at Dawson City,
and that is., for .them to undertake the
. awful winter trip from Dawson to Fort
Yukon, a distance of 400 miles. There
is no food at Fort..Yukon, there is hone
at Dawson, and Just as sure as the
stars -sthice 'ifci-rtuie sunwina-wm!-oo-
the fate of the Dawson miner unless
he leaves there before spring. When I
left Dawson the men who were there
had on an average f cur months' food
supply. Some did not have a month's
supply, and" s"me had four or. five. The
rertaurant j?losed the night I left. It
had been' selling nothing but beefsteak,
for' which the hungry paid $2: ..
"On Sept. 14 'Bert Nelson, of Seattle,
and myself left Circle City and started
to pole up the river to Dawson City, a
distance of SCO mllies.' At the same time
BAD1
we started from (Circle City the miners
had about taken their departure. It
took us 11 days and three hours to make
the journey, arriving at Dawson Sept.
26, Captain Hanson, with two Indians
who had left Fort Yukon, beat us into
Dawson by about an hour and a half.
Hanson gathered the Dawson City min
ers together and made a short speech
in which, he advised all who did not
have', provisions to last the winter to
go to civiiizai ion.
"That night was the greatest one in
the history of Dawson City. The min
ers, as, soon as they heard" the news,
made hasty preparations to get out,
and nightfall saw the gold seekers sell
out for many thousands of dollars.
leaving by thousands for down the
river or up the river points. The little
steamer Kiukuk was besieged by
w'oukUbe passengers, who. offered as
high as $250 that they might be aboard
while she made, her journey of 175
miles to Pelly. The Kiukuk left Daw
son on the af'ernoon of Sept. 27 with
12 or 15 passengers.
"Yie left Dawson the next day. When
we left the only . thing you could pos
sibly buy was sugrar, baking powder,
spices and some dried fruit. No flour,
bacon or anything of that kind could
be purchased from any of the stores."
H. A. Ferguson said:
"The situation at Dawson was relieved
by the exodus to Fort Yukon. I doubt
if there will be actual starvation there,
but there will be a shortage. The old
timers have provisions enough to carry
them "through. The stores are practi
cally' cleaned out. All they would sell
was live pounds of sugar to the "men,

Swift's Specific is the only real blood
remedy and promptly goes to the very,
bottom of even the most obstinate case.
Like all other blood diseases, the
doctors are totally unable to cure Rheu -mat

which they , prescribe are potash and

a body of hussars cleared the streets

-immediately sent two vans to attend

At least 10,000 people gathered about
the same time in front of the town hall
and the provincial criminal ' court . to
demonstrate in favor of Herr Wolff,
who was to be arraigned there on a
charge of public violence committed on
Saturday when'being removed from the
unterhaus by the police, acting- under
the orders of President Von Abraham

dispersed them, one man's skull being
fractured and .two others ' being se

sent to that point. Simultaneously
meetings of workmen were heid in vari
ous quarters of the city, but the po

The streets became more quiet during
the afternoon, but at sunset thousands
reassembled in the Frangen-ring and
the Rathhaus parli, where they in
dulged in stormy protests against the

street cars and omnibuses who went by
joining in cries of "Down' with Badeni."
: Suddenly a -change came over the
scene, The report spread ' like wild
fire that Count Badeni ;had resigned.
The; demonstrations ceased almost in

by the police authorities and their sub

- The case of Mrs. James Kell, of6ri
Ninth Street, . 12., Washington, D. C,
should convince; everyone that it is
useless to expect doctors to cuie Rheu
matism. Under recent date she writes :
"A. ievf mo!S ago I had an attack of
Sciatic Rheumatism in its worst form.
The pain was so intense that my tier-'
vous system was prostrated, and I was
for a long time perfectly helpless. The
attack was an unusually severe one,
and my condition was regarded as
being very dan ?erous. '
"I was attended by one of the most
able doctors of Washington City; who is
also' a member of the faculty of the
leading college here. He told me to
cont nue his prescription and I would
get well. After having it refilled twelve
times at-d receiving not the least bene
fit, I declined to take it longer.
Kavitig heaTd S.S.S- , (Swift's Spe

it a trial. Alter taking a few bot

credit, factories to manufacture every
thing needed, railroads running . in

all its advantages itjtook the north four
years to crush the south, and then it
did it by a grinding process, and with
