ESCAPED THE HURRICANES.
Our Troops w~rc Fortunate In Landing
safely at santiago-


Washington, -. G.. June o5.--The
President was decidedly pleased when
he learned from Cuba that all of the
troops were ON land. and he regards
the good fortune that has followed
them from the start as n dispensation
of Providence. He realizes fully the
degree OF danger to which they have
been subjected nj this season. when
hurricanes of terrific force are fire.
quent. Weather observers say that
many years have passed since the an
nual summer hurricanes We're post
poncd as long as they have been this
year. There Is usually one, and some
times two. destructive storms about
June 2ist, which have often destroyed
plantations, factories. railway bridges
and other artificial structures on shore.
and sometimes wide forests and entire
cities have been swept away by the
force OF nature. Al these times II Is
often impossible for shipping TO sur
yive unless II happens TO be sheltered
in well-protected harhor.
Such a hurricane. which may be eX-
pected any day. would not only have
scattered the fleet OF transports. but
might have sent Il dozen OF them to the
bottom. The men-of-war. and particu-
iarly the battleships. are better able to
resist the force OF these gales than
merchant ships. because OF the heavy
materials OF which they are construct
ed and the fact that n larger portion
OF their hulls are submerged in the
water The danger TO the fleet is not
over yet. but the President feels that
1t IL the cause for the most profound
congratuiation that the troops are all
ashore without the loss of a single life.

siderable Scale In the New voluateer,.
New York. June Pa special to the
Times from Washington says:
When the mastering In of new or
ganiZations under the second call Is
completed. the volunteer army will in
clude between 5000 and 10000 negro
soldiers. and more negro officers than
were ever before in the service of the
United States.
In furnishing officers for these col
ored commands the War Department
has had n serious problem to deal with.
1t Is the Presidents desire to give the
negroes n representation rs officers.
In the last war. when there were 9l..
$50 negro troops-three years men-in
the Federal army, the officers were
white men.
The experiment of n negro regiment
wholly officered by negroes Is to be
tried in the case of the North Carolina
regiment. whose colonel Will be n col
ored man. and the only one of that
rank In the army. In the Alabama
regiment the officers will be white
men. In the immune negro regiments
there Will be mixture. the colonelx
and other field officers and the captains
being white. and the lieutenauts and
other lesser officers black.
Army officers regard the differing
Of negro regiments with negroes as an
experiment which may or may NOT
turn out well. The negro needs TO he
led well. they say. TO make a good
fighter. and there IL some doubt
whether colored troops VIII follow one
OF their own race rs well as they
would a white officer.

Jaragua. Cuba, June %, D. IN. per
Associated Press Dispatch Boat Dan
dy, via Kingston, June 26.--The initial
light of Colonel Woods Rough Riders
and the troopers of the First and Tenth
cavalry will he known in history as
the battle OF La Quasina. That II did
not end in the complete slaughter of
the Americans was not due to any
mIscalculation in the plan of the Spnn-
ish. for as perfect an ambuscade rs
was ever formed In the brain OF an
Apache Indian was prepared. and
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt and his
men walked squarely into it. For an
hour and half they held their ground
under a perfect storm Of bullets from
the front and sides. and then Colonel
Wood at the right and Colonel Roose-
Welt at the left, led u charge which
turned the tide OF battle and sent the
enemy flying over the hills toward
Santiago.
1t Is now definitely known that six-
teen men on the American side were
killed, while sixty were wounded or
are reported to be missing. 1t is Inn
possible to calculate the Spanish losses.
but 1t is known they were far heavier
than those Of the Americans, Mt least
Ms regards actual loss OF life. Already
thirty-seven dead Spaniartis have been
found and buried. while many other
are undoubtedly lying In the thick nm
derbrush on the side of the gully anfl
on the slope OF the hill, where the
main body OF the enemy was located.
The wounded were all removed.

From the annual meeting OF the Am
erlcan Medical Association at Denver
comes a message OF hope TO every con-
sumptlve sufferer in the world. 1t was
contained In paper on Surgery OF the
Lung" read before the assembled repre-
sentatives of American medical science
by no less prominent physician than
DR.. j. b. Murphy of Chicago. Il can
with safety say" said he, that unless
the lung is entirely gone permanent
cure can be effected" This was the es-
sential deduction from his technical
treatise on the treatment OF tubercu-
losis by collapslng the lung by the In
PRODUCTION Of nitrogen gas into the
pleural cavity. This In unscientthc par
lance gives the lung rest, and nature
effects the cure. without discussing
the scientific problem which DR.. Muir
ply says has been fully demonstrated
By successful experiment. We can on
" express the hope that all be claims
for his discovery may prove true. Pull
monary troubles bring distress and sor-
row to myriads- The disease Is SO sub
tie. its symptomy so Elusive. Its prog
ress so stealthy and the prescriptions
for Its cure 80 varied and deceptive that
anything absolutely In the nature OF an
absolute remedy must be hailed as the
greatest boon to infected humanity
youchsafed by modern medical science.
The name OF the man who robs the ba-
ciiii Of tuberculosis OF their terrors is
