New Use for Army UnifOrms.

What to do with the army uniforms
which they receive while in the service.
and which have yet plenty OF wear in
them is question which appeals TO
every volunteer who has now been mus
tered out of the service
One bright genius has solved the prob
lem to his satisfaction by having the
buttons changed, the trousers cut off at
the knee and Il strap sewed in. As a re.
suit he has Il bicycle suit, which differs
little from many blue club uniforms that
are seen about.
BY substituting blue golf cap for the
campaign headgear, and discarding the
canvas leggings, he has serviceabe
cycle suit, which has been so trans
formed that he cannot be accused OF hav-
ing endeavored to call public attention to
the fact that he was volunteer soldier.
This example is being followed by many
Others in the same organization.

Fired on BY New Orleans and
New York.
Squadron Discovered Destroyer and
Kept on Alert.
spanish Boat Thought to Be Furor or
Pluton.

OFF SANTIAGO, June 4.-Delayed in
transmission.) The firing by the
New Orleans and the New York
briefly reported yesterday was d.
rected against Spanish torpedo boat
destroyer, probably the Terror or the
Pluton
The character of the vessel was not
definitely known until the next day,
when the torpedo boat Porter found
two loaded torpedoes floating off
shore. Neither of them had been dis
charged. One sunk but the other was
hauled on board the Porter. 1t ex-
actly fitted the description of the
torpedoes carried by the Pluton and
Furor.
1t is believed the torpedo boat dest-
roger escaped. She was seen by the
New Orleans when too far away for
the latter to do any damage, and the
heavy fire must haYe driven her back.
The daring attemp Of the Spaniards,
when was fortunately frustrated by
the vigilance of the New Orleans look
out, is the first instance of its kind
since the beginning of the war.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the New
Orleans flashed her private signal.
1t was answered by the flagship, and
in a few moments colored lights
spraug up in the darkness from the
New Orleans deck. They signalled
that an enemy was in sight. Alittle
later she burned another colored
light. This meant that hostile
torpedoboat was approaching. In
stantly the semi-circle of blockadine
ships flashed another signal. The
New Orleans kept her brilliant search
lights playing in all directions, ant
the other ships did the same.
A dim object, like a small boat
concealed in smoke, was seen on the
port hand from the signal bridge. and
Ensign Merlin reported to Captasn
Chadwisk "a torpedo boat one poin'
forward on the port beam, heade'
this way" Captain Chadwick, with
Rear Admiral Sampson, was on tn
for ward bridge. Before a shst wa
fired from the flagship this curious
looking object disappeared. The tor
pedo-boat was still headed for the
shore.
When a mile away, and close q
Moro, an object was seen against tn
cliffs. 1t was thought to be a torpedo
boat and the New York's forward 0
inch guns beloved out. The 4-inc
and Founders followed suit, and 10
few minutes sharp fire was kel
up. The boom Of the Oregon's ol
guns was twice heard to the eastwar'
"Cease firing' was then sounded.
The Porter was steaming two mile
from shore eastward of Moro catsl
when two torpedoes were seen hoatir
on the water. Commander FremoI
finally got one of the torpedoes {
board. The other sunk as he was ge
ting in it. 1t was 4t-inch Whitehead
OF modern make, and worth aoo'
$500, 1t was in perfect condition
and had any Of our ships struck
while it fioated it would have explode
and perhaps sunk the ship.

HOW MISERABLE A FATE.

French Newspaper Bemoans Spain's Woes

PARIS, Nov. 22-The Soliel, review
ing at length the peace negotiations,
says, How miserable is the fate of
our Spanish neighbors! American rapac-
ity has not left them one inch of terri
tory they have possessed in America
since the time of Columbus, or in Ocean
lea since Magellan. But that is not the
worst Of their misfortune. Their whole
edifice of political economy and admin
lstration is going to pieces. Their par
iamentary parties which, moreover,
never had sUrong root, are completely
disorganized, and no one dares assume
the responsibility of power. The pres
ent ministry remains because no one
wishes to replace it. But it is almost
powerless before ills which threaten the

diers. who are now returning to life of
idleness, The Soliel says: IF they shall

Pettifogging Technicalities Likely
to Cause Reconsideration by
Americans.

NEW York, Nov. GA dispatch to
The Tribune from Madrid says: The
meeting at Saragossa of delegations
from all the chambers of commerce OF
Spain discloses deep and bitter dissatis-
faction at the delay of the Paris confer
ence to reach definite agreement as to
terms of peace If anything could be
gained by Spain in attempting to elude
the American demands, the business
communities would offer no objections;
but the chambers of commerce, which
represent the practical common sense of
the country, are unanimous in denounc-
ing the systematic obstruction and FRO
crastination planned by Sagasta and
carried out by Montero Rios. The mer-
chants and manufacturers consider the
Philippines already practically lost to
Spain, and urge that the only wise
course is to frankly acknowledge the
fact and as speedily as possible to get
the best terms the Americans are will
ing to give.
May Get Even Less.
The president OF the Barcelona cham
Der Of commerce even goes SO far as to
say that the pettifogging technicalities
and bubbles with which Montero, as he
understands, has opposed the demands
Of the United States commissioners, are
likely to irritate the Americans and in
duce President Mckinley to reconsider
the indemnity he may intend to offer in
regard to the Philippines. These views,
which accurately reflect the convictions
Of the commercial and mercantile COM
munities are shared by the masses of the
population. 1t is the functionaries, the
mo1astic orders and the politicians who
support Sagasta and Montero Rios in
their suicidal obstinacy for retaining
the Philippines.
The queen regent remains convinced
that any further obstruction at Paris is
not only useless, but harmful.
Financial and commercial pressure has
been put upon Sagasta who is now be-
ieved to have instructed Montero Rios
to proceed to the discussion of the
amount of indemnity to be paid by the
United States in regard to the Philip
pines, after having placed on record an
emphatic protest against the American
Interpretation of Article III, coupled
with declaration that Spain yields
only to superior force.

FIXING THE BLAME.
Surgeon General Sternbrrg's Report Deals
With Sickness OF Troops.

Surgeon General sternhrrg's Report Deals
With Sickness OF Troops.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Surgeon Cen
sral George NJ. Ster1lberg has made his
report to the secretary of war. 1t re-
lates mainly to the work of the medical
corps during the war. After detailing
the trouble met in securing competent
surgeons and nurses, the surgeon gen
aTal has this to say regarding the great
amount of sickness among the troops:
I'm my opinion the reduction of the
age limit from 81 to IS years and the
haste with which the volunteer regi-
ments were organized and mustered
into the service were responsible for
much of the sickness which was re-
ported in the early days of their camp
life. All military experience shows
that young men under 81 years break
down readily under the
Strain of War Service,
and every regiment had many OF these
Youths in it's ranks. Medical examiners
were appointed to testify to the physical
qualifications of each man before accept

causes existing prior to enlistment that
special arrangements had to be made for
their discharge. Soon after the newly
raised levies were augmented in large
camps, sickness began to increase pro-
gressively from causes that We're so gen
eral in their operation that scarcely
regiment escaped from their harmful in
Aucnces. These causes may largely be
referred to ignorance on the part of Off
GERS of the principles Of camp sanitation
and of their duties and responsibilities
as regards the welfare of the enlisted
men in their commands.
Camp Sites Not to Blame.
1.-THE sites of certain of the camps
have been instanced in the newspapers
as the cause of the sickness which was
developed in them, but a review Of the
whole situation shows that it was not
the site, but the manner Of its cccupa-
ton, which must be held respOnctble
for the general spread of disease among
troops.
Zone prominent cause for the increase
of sickness in the army camps has been
commented upon by only few of our
medical officers. These cite the preva-
lence of drunkenness and Of venereal
disease due to the facilities and tempta-
tons afforded by the proximity Of cities
to the larger camps. They hold that if
the systems of the men had not been
weakened by dissipation they would
not have succumbel So readily 10 the
