A / CRITICAL i TINE

The Packers mt the Battle of

P. E. Butler, of pack train No.
3, writingfrom Santiago de Cuba.
on July 23d, says I'VE all
had diarrhoea in more or less
violent form, and when we land
ed we had no time to see doc
tor, for it was a case of rush and
rush night and day to keep the
troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, but thanks to Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, we we're able
to keep at work and keep our
health; in fact, 1 sincerely be-
lieve thatat one critical time this
medicine was the indirect saviour
OF our army, for if the packers
had been unable to work there
would have been no way of get
ting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that a wagon train
could use My comrade and my
self had the good fortune to lay
in supply of this medicine for
our pack.train before we left

An Interesting Session

Last week.

The meeting of the State Coun-
Gil Jr. o. q. A. M. at Hunting
ton last week was largely attend
ed and proved to be one OF the
most interesting meetings ever
held in this State by this order.
This organization was organ
ICED in this State in 1889, and its
growth has far surpassed all ex-
pectations. This organization is
loyal, patriotic, traternally bene-
fetal, strictly non.part:san and
non-sectarian. These have been
the main causes of its contented
growth.
The officers for the ensuing
year we're installed to-day by
Deputy National Council John

One important conclusion is
believed to have been reached in
the discussion by the Cabinet of
the instructions to the Peace
Commissioners. That is, that
whatever is to be done with the
Philippines, Spain's sovereignty
over the islands must cease. The
question of how much territory
the United States shall retain
and what form of government
shall be given that part of the
group not retained by the United
States is open for further discus
sion.

A HORRIBLE MURDER.
Was That Of i Bddpport Young Woman.

The horrible ind OF the muti-
lated body OF woman in the
vicinity of Bridgeport, Conn,
last Monday, has not been lessen
ed in its shocking details.
The upper hallof the body was
wrapped in what appears to be
half of a black rubber carriage
blanket. There were two eyelet
holes in it.
The abdominal part of the trunk
was swathed in a white rubber
sheet, such as isused in surgical
operating rooms.
This latter circumstance, to-
gether with the plain evidence
that the body was severed, like
the legs and head. by an expert
using a keen knife and a perfect
edged saw, leadsthe police to the
conviction that the mutilation
and presumablythe murder was
done by a surgeon.
The upper half of the trunk
is intact. The stomach, liver and
other organs located in the upper
part of the human anatomy are
all in place, but the abdominal
portion of the body has been des-
poiled of nearly every organ.
This suggests that the young
woman was the victim of a crimi-
inal operation at the hands of a
physician, who brought his skill
into play in an effort to destroy
the evidence OF the crime. as we'll
as to destroy the body Of the
victim of his malpractice.
The first discovery IN this
tragedy was made Monday when
two boys found bundle in the
Yellow Mill river that contained
the legs of a woman. They were
wrapped in cloth and a white
rubber sheeting, such as is used
by physicians and nurses. One
leg was chopped in two. Both
were cut off at the thigh.
Another bundle was found a
little later containing the head
of a woman twenty-fo years
old. 1t was wrapped in piece
of mans underwear and rubber.
1t was tied with acorset cord.
A piece of muslin in the wo-
mans mouth Indicated that she
was gagged with it or perhaps
smothered.
The woman may have been
poisoned, say physicians who
have noted the color of her eyes.
LATER.
The supposed victim of the
Bridgeport, Conn, murder, Miss
Marian Grace Perkins, arrived at
home Saturday afternoon in per-
feet health to the great joy of the
family and the unbounded aston
ishment OF the entire community.
Her father was not in town, for
at the time of his daughters
arrival he was on his way back
from Bridgeport with the grew
some remains which he identified
as those of Grace, and for which
the funeral arrangements, in.
Guiding the digging of the grave,
had already been completed.

SHAFTER'S WARRIORS
Will Be Removed as Soon as Possible to
Healthy Camp on
Long Island.

Washington. July 2s.-The war de-
partment last night posted the follow
ing dispatch from General Shafter
the 9th: Total sick. 4,122; total fever,
3,l93; new cases fever, 1922: cases of
fever returned to duty. 5i2; deaths,
3-two from yellow fever.
Secretary Alger is deeply concerned
over the welfare of the gallant troops
under Skaters command, now en-
camped on the outskirts Of Santiago.
The health reports shows surprising
ly large number of cases of sickness,
but army surgeons authorize the state
mcnt that these figures are misleading
in a certain sense. and that the situa-
tion may not be nearly SO bad as they
would seem to indicate. The slightest
ailment Of the most temporary nature
suilices to place soldiers name on the
sick reports, which In their present
shape would not distinguish between
such case and one of mortal illness.
The inference is that many of these
cases In Skaters camp are of trivial
nature. but go to swell Its grand total
of sick and wounded.
Notwithstanding this mitigating fact,
Secretary Alger is going to remove the
soldiers at the very earliest opportunity
to more healthful cline. The surgeon
general a few days ago inspected a
tract Of land adjoining Montauk Point,
l.. l., which had been offered to the
government as suitable for, a large en-
camDmeilt. The tract Is three miles
square, contains an abundance of fresh
water. considerable lake.. a hill $50
feet In height and many other sanitary
advantages. including sal. water bath
Ing. The necessary orders to equip this
as a camping ground for the battle
Scared veterans will go forward i'm
medately.
The time for their removal Is left to
General Shafter. the only Limitation
placed upon him being that he shall not
delay the homeward sailing of his
troops beyond the moment when It shall
be safe for them to leave Santiago,
having regard to the fever conditions.
Meanwhile details are Icing made of
troops to supply the force that shall
garrison Santiago so long as It shall
be found necessary to continue troops
there. This force will be made up al.
most altogether of immunes.
