The Madrid press expresses surprise

true that he wishes thereby to signify his
disapproval of the reforms Captain Cen

the hope of checking the spread of the in
surrection. Most of the papers express a
rear that the next news will be of the fall
of Manila.
The whole question in the ewes of the
Spaniards is whether Admiral Dewey can
prevent Aguinaldo from pushing on hos

reinforcements arrive, since otherwise il is
supposed he will have to allow Euronean
war vessels to cooperate in the difficult

Trained Nurses Needed.
the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 I|uitpF Vi Inc
/ wish to call the attention of the general
public to the need of trained nursing for
the sick who have not been wounded in bat
tie. So much has been said and written as
to the care of the sick and wounded, and
so many plans have been made to meet this
need. that it may seem unnecessary to say
anything more on the subject; yet from the
state of affairs at one place aIone-Camp
Aiger-(fOr / am only writing of what L
know it does seem that the problem has
not been solved.
1t is the universal opinion among medical
men that trained nurses are a necessary
adjunct of all properly managed hospitals.
Yet this Is one thing that our government
refuses to make any provision for.
Now, trained nurses, Il rule, enter the
profession as a means of livelihood, and
the few who have any income apart from
their professional one, are and shining
exceptions to the rule, so it will be seen
that they cannot be pfiilanthropists and
give their time and services with no other
reward than an approving consciousness of
having labored for suffering humanity.
Surgeons are paid, hospital stewards are
paid, even the poor private is rewarded
(often nOU according to his work. If all
that has been said on the subject can be
taken in sober earnest, nurses are as neces-
Sary in saving life either surgeons
hospital stewards.
Why is not something done to furnish
nursing to the men, who though they have
not been in battle, have entered the service
of their country. and at least deserve the
best of care when sick. At Camp Alger
have been seen men suffering from measles,
with high temperature and profuSe rash,
sitting up in heavy clothing, with coats on.
Do you think such would be the were
even one trained nurse in charge of that
hospital?
The d. A. r. agreed to furnish trained
nurses as the government called on them to
do so, they Uhe D. A. r. paying each one
$50 month. They now call for volunteers
to go to the hospital at Norfolk with
remuneration beyond expenses Do you be-
lieve that reliable nurses, in good standing,
can afford to do this, to give up the Glen
tele that they have worked to obtain since
their graduation, any more than surgeon
will leave his practice without adequate re-
ward? 1t may be presumed that all camps
have the same need as Camp Alger and
though we may not be stirred up to de-
mand better care until some one belonging
to ourselves falls sick and we realize what
is lacking, the need Is surely great now,
and should be remedied at once.

There is great indignation here at the

the rumor that Spain has sold the Philip

Irregularities in the war that one more
would not matter So the Spaniards say.
THE German view given vent to here is
this: President Mckinley never wanted the
war, nor did any member of his cabinet
want it. 1t was the politicians, the job
bers behind the scenes and some phlan-
thropists who dragged the President into
the war, and have forced him as far as he
has gone. The taking of Manila by the
Germans would enable him to say to the
war party: What did / tell you? Are we
going to try conclusions with the Germans,
the Russians and probably the French?
No. 1t would throw the development of

 Lewis arose in the body of the .conven. ton and said that he was the victim of a cowardly and unwarranted attack. Un- der the circumstances he asked to with draw his name.
 Ashe was nominated and in accepting a place on the ticket said that he had never before heard a word of evil con- corning his former opponent.
