The American Monthly Review OF Re-
views for September presents the usual
timely features that we have come to ex-
pect from this magazine. The various
events connected with the end of the
war with Spain are fully discussed by the
editor, while the Porto Rican campaign,
from start to finish, is described by John
A. Church, formerly or the Army and
Navy Journal. The cost of the war and
the financial provisions for meeting 1t
are ably summed up by Charles A. CO.
nant, financial writer. Henry Macfar-
land, Washington journalist, contributes
a character sketch of William r. Day, the
Secretary OF State, which is of special in
terest at this time because OF Judge Days
appointment as leading member of the
American peace commission. Charles
Lowe, the English biographer of Bis
marck, and w. T. Stead, furnish rich
fund of anecdotes regarding the late ex-
chancellor. Aside from many other illus
trations, numerous cartoons apropos of
the war are reproduced from home and
foreign journals.

A Critical Time During the
Battle of Santiago.

SICK OR WELL. A RUSH MIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the battle OF Santiago de
Cuba were all Heroes. Their heroic
efforts in getting ammunition and ra-
tions to the front saved the day,
P. E. BUTLER, OF pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July
23d, says: 4" all had diarrhoea in more
or less violent form, and when we landed
we had no time to see doctor, for il was
a case OF rush and rush night and
day, to keep the troops suprlied with
ammunition and rations, but thanks to
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, we were able to keep
at work and keep our health; in fact,
sincerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect saviour of
our army, for if the packers had been un-
able to work there would have been no
way of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself had
the good fortune TO lay in a supply of
this medicine for our pack-train before
We left Tampa, and know in four cases
il actually saved life"

so that he is unable to'move them. The
cause of the accident is claimed to be

LETTERS ABOUT PENSIONS
Large Amount Of Mail Received by Commits
sioner Evans
Some Sample Communications
Prompt Replies Ordered to All
the Correspondence.

II. Clay Evans, commissioner of pensions,
receives upward of one hundred personal
letters daily. This takes no account of the
mass of impersonal and official commune
cations. 1t is not strange that complaint
should be heard row and then from an
eXpectant writer that he has failed to re
ceive a reply. The bureau of pensions as
a governmental concern IS nearest to cne
largest class of citizens Estimating that
each payment to pensioner directly af-
fects five persons, comprising his family or
household associates, there are five million
pairs of anxious eyes turned toward the
pension bureau every three months.
There are eighteen pension agencies to
make these payments on the following
schedule:
Augusta Maine; Boston, Columbus, Ohio;
Detroit, San Francisco and Washington

Some Sample Letters

daily by the mail division averages about
10000. Above fifty persons are steadily
employed. Of letters alone, aside from

'congressionalsg' there are received 5000

assert that the Increased death rate in

largely to the increased and indlscrimiuate

the TACT that men are, as a rule more ex-

that the death rate was highest among
officials, merchants and employees who

reasonably conclusive explanation of such

science is yet from a full understanding
