IMPURE W ATER
Undoubtedly Causes All the
Sickness at Fort Myer, Va.
There is Evidently Mismanage-
ment Somewhere.

For Many Years Plans for an Adequate
Water Supply Has Been Before the War
Department but Nothing Has Been
Done--Uncle Sam Seems to Be Standing
in His Own Light Somehow.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The garrison
at Fort Myer, on Arlington Heights, OPP
posite the city of Washington, are in a
deplcrable condition owing to deficient
water supply. Fort Myer has for sew
eral years past suffered from an made
quate supply of water, both as to guam
tity and quality, and since the number
Of men at the post has been Increased by
a whole troop of cavalry, there has been
actual suffering and sickness from one
years end to the other.
AT the present time the sick list of the
post is twice as large as should be ex-
pected, from the size of the garrison
and of these, half are of the low mala-
rial fever brought on by the small sup
ply of bad water. Application has been
made time and again for connection
with the Washington supply, but, al
though the cost would be about $4,000
only, the plans have laid Wondering ia
their graves at the war department, and
in the meantime the government has
lost almost the cost of the proposed con-
nection in the loss of service of the
eighty-three fever cases that have bur-
dened the post in the past three years,
to say nothing Of the loss of three lives
from the fever.
The water supply of the fort consists
entirely of spring at the foot Of the hill
on which the post is situated. There
are here dug three wells, which in the
present state of drought are pumped
down to the very dregs each day to sup
ply the drinking water for the post.
The capacity of the three tanks in the
water tower whence the water is dis
tributed is 10000 gallons, and in the
springtime, when the rain and melted
SHOWS kept the wells full, the daily con-
sumption of the fort was $4,000 gallons.
But for the past six weeks the daily
supply has been reduced to an
average of 5000 gallons. The
supply of water in the wells fuctuates
from day to day, and when pumped dry
toward evening the supply has to be cut
of and these sinks allowed to FIJI mp
during the night. The necessary daily.
supply for the men alone, according to
the statistics of the war department,
should be $4,000 gallons, but now that
this has been cut down to 5000, bathing
within the limits of the post has been
discontinued, and the men have had to
take to the river. The hospital contains
seventy-fve inmates out of 400 men sta
toned at the post, a most astounding
and alarming percentage.

United States Minister Scruggs sent

ital for the return of the six refugees
taken from the Caracas some time ago
and now in the hands Of General Ur-
danet. He also demanded salute to the
American flag and the payment of per-
sonal damages to the refugees.
But there was no regular government
to reply to these demands for reparation,

DIR. Hamilton Talks.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Before leav.
ing Washington for Chicago DR.. J. b.
Hamilton, who established Camp Low,
Sandy Hook, for ocean passengers de-
taiped at Quarantine, said;
"The only regret have in leaving the
station is that am not able to longer
look out for those poor people. Cabin
passengers may easily enough find &C
commodations, but nobody cares for the
poor immigrants Now that the gov
ernment has taken the matter up we
may expect them to be well treated
that Is, 80 long as our country continues
to admit immigration it is solemn
duty to see that the people
are well treated, properly housed
and decently fed while UNDER
going the detention necessary to pre-
vent their bringing seeds of disease with
them into tho country. Camp Low, as
now constructed, affords every facility
for airing the baggage and effects of the
Immigrants, and there is plenty of room
for their obtaining fresh air and sunlight
In abundance. Hoffman Island has not
spear of grass nor any beach; it is sim
ply made island of asphalt pavement.
on which there is not tree. There are
only warehouses in which these immi-
grants are stocked in three and four
decker bedsteads.
I'm addition to the accommodation
for immigrants on shore there is plenty
of anchorage for deep water vessels, and
the harbor Is landlocked in New Jersey
off Sandy Hook. 1t is thus seen that
the first plant of a national quarantine
establishment at the port of New York
is an accomplished fact. The present
head of the marine hospital bureau, in
Joining in with Dr. jenkins in recon-
mending the establishment of hospi-
tal on Fire Island, had not in view the
broad plan Of q national quarantine at
New York.
moreover, the distance of Fire Island
station is such MS to preclude it from
practical consideration. 1t is well
known that Mr.. Sammis had offered the
place for 800, 900 during the summer.
i was big appreciation of property
that gave him 100000 for The Fire
Island hotel"

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 27.--A letter

member that some time back the Mex,

syndicate, among the number tive
Americans, saw big money in this, SO
they set about to depreciate the bonds,
A revolution was the surest thing I'd
bring about the desired effect, so one was
started. CARA was sent for and negoI
tiations were entered into with him. He
was Just the man for the undertaking.
He had an extended acquaintance along
the border, spoke English and Spanish
fluently, was something of an orator,
possessed daring and was ever ready for
adventure.
"Well, Cara was supplied with
money and set to work First he started

which he arraigned Diaz and particular

was ripe he laid down the pen and
buckled on the sword. Apparent alarm
was created all through the republic.

San Francisco Immediately rushed I'M

patched to the front to write up the rev.

show that they never gave an account Of

1.-THE troops were massed on both sides
of the Rio Grande, and big flourish Of
trumpets was made. All the newspa-
pers fairly teemed with accounts Of the
revolution.
"And all this time the syndicate were
snickering in their sleeves. The bait
they had thrown out was quickly swal-
lowed. The parties who held the bonds
were seized with alarm and flooded the
market with them. Those who engi-
neered the scheme made several millions
by the deal. OF course they paid all
the expenses of Cara, which amounted
to but little"

and Prayer.
MUNCE, Ind, Sept. 27.-Mrs. CAL
Woodring, of this city, claims to have
been relieved of the fatal consumption
by faith cure. The woman has been
confined to her bed since last March,
and two weeks ago the physicians in
formed her that her case was fatal and
death was near at hand. The woman is
a devout Christian and recently, while
reading her Bible she read about the
miracles of God in olden times in heal
ing the sick. She had the faith and in
vited several Christian brethren and sis
ters to come and pray for her a week
ago. Since that time the woman has
taken no medicine, and she has so much
improved that she now does her house
work and is fast recovering. The case
is peculiar one and the medical frater-
nifty is puzzled.
