WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-While there
is regular school physician for every
?, 900 or less civilized population in the
country, it is ascertained that the In
dams upon reservations have only one
regular physician for from five to eight
thousand souls. Some tribes, notably
the Navajos, have but one government
physician for Is, 900 souls There are
but eighty-two physicians furnished the
Indians by the government, which In
dian Commissioner Morgan says are
not half sufficient. The insufficiency
OF regular physicians is given as the Sc
cret OF the power of the medicine men
among the various tribes. The native
medicine men are the ones who stir up
strife and precipitate war in many in
stances. Then the physicians fur
nished by the government are paid but
from 81, 900 to 81, 200 year, which is
not regarded as sufficient pay to at
tract the proper ability, The best men
are the only ones that should go among
the Indians.

That Ex-Governor Foster has a personal

the strongest elements in the charac-

his accessibility, his frankness and
honesty, his truthfulness OF speech and
his straightforwardness. Charles Eos
ter is personally much the same man.
His politics will be those OF his imme-
dlate predecessors and those OF Presi-

will not be without individuality. for
Foster is a strong man in every way.
Charles Foster was born near riffin.

I
WAsHINGToN, September 0.--Ad-
miral Mccain, who commanded the
United States squadron in CHILEAN
| waters during the late war, comes 10
the defense Of Minister Eagan in the
following statement
IN a recently published article it
was intimated that our minister, Pat
rick Eagan, was willing to stand pas
sively BY and see the Balmaceda gov
ernment slaughter certain members Of
the Congressional party who had been
imprisoned by Balmaceda. Immedi-i
ately after the mountaineering episode
the minister Of foreign affairs made
dire threats as to what should be done
with the congressionalists He spoke
Of having them shot within twenty
four hours. Mr.. Egan, so far from
sympathizing with this view, as is as
serted, concurrently with the French
and Brazilian ministers addressed a
positive letter to Balmaceda, opposing
such action towards the captives, and
telling him plainly that their respec-
tive governments would be called on
to interfere If there was any attempt
at carrying opt the minister's threats.
That very night | got word from
Mr.. Egan to be in readiness to trans
| port Mr.. Montt and four of his Assoc
ciates from the country at an early
hour next morning. Immediately
ordered Captain Schley, Of the Balti-
more. then at Valparaiso, to prepare to
take the party TO Callao, SO they could
get out Of the country. Balmaceda in
| the meantime got scared 1T Mr. Egan's
4 note, and III an interview assured the
latter that protection would be extend
ed to the revolutionists,. and the time
given them for escaping extended. So,
ii was not necessary to take them
aboard the Baltimore, though every
4 preparation had been made.
MIR. Egan was fiercely assailed by
the newspapers Of the victorious party,
though il was through his interven-
tion'that great leniency had been ex-
tended by Bahmaceda. His conduct
has not been understood Alright. even
lin this country, but | want to say that
all his actions have been those Of a
clear headed diplomat and an honor
able man. Right here will take on
myself the blame for some censure
that fell ON Mr.. Egan. He wrote me
conhdentially that the Balmaceda gov
eminent seemed too strong to be dis
turbed. quoted little too fully
from that letter in communication to
the leader Of the opposing forces. and
when the letter was made public, the
brunt Of the criticism was directed
against our minister. i have just
communicated to Secretary Tracy the
true story of that incident, which fully
exonerates Mr.. Egan. He has been
50 unjustly sassailed by Mr.. Foster,
that am glad Of an opportunity Of
speaking word in his defense"
