ONE DISASTER INVERTED.
Arizona Has af Least Lei inc War
 Tax Stand.

Arizona has given the United States a very close shave This territory has elected a delegate to congress pledged to reinstate silver au a ratio of Is to
 without waiting fer the consent of any Of the other territories or states except Utah, Nevada, Montana and Colorado, or any other nation on earth, to ny nothing of the nations in the heavens or in the waters under the earth. The sound money system which has been working very satis- factCTily is therefore deemed to be dis placed
 However gloomy the United States
 may feel OJer the determined and un- friendly financial stand taken by Ari- zoIa there is z mitigation Of the na- liOnal woe in the escape of the general government from anOLner impending disaster, withdrawal of the means of paying for the war with Spain. The escape has been accomplished only by tbe skin of the nations teeth, or, to be p!ainsr, by about ten votes in Pinal coun!y, Ariz. This was the crisis: In the course Of the campaign just closed P. B. McCaba, candidate of the legislature from Pinal county, and ether aspiring democrats visited the mining camp Of Schultz. They stopped at a saloon kep: by a Frenchman, to whom MT. McCahe as the spokesman of the party related the nature of the invasion. The FrencEman said it was no use; every man ia the camp was a republican and not open to conver- sion Mir McCabe talked about the iniquity Of the board Of coN,rol and the burden Of the Yavapai bends. The F-er chman was unmoved. Then MT McCabe ordered three or four bottles of cheap claret for the crowd He noticed the slaoOn keeper pasting the 1 cent revsnue stamp on the bottles before he passed them over the bar. He was quick to grasp the opportunity A stamp law, he said, was the most un- just legislation imaginable. It was such a law tha- had precipitated the war of the revolution The trouble with Spain had furnished an apparent excuse for repetition of the outrage, but now that the war was over there was no pretext whatever for maintain ing the stamp act Mckinley ana Mark Hanna were dividing the spoiIs as fast as they reached the treasury. MT. McCabe grew eloque-t He swore volUbly that if he were elected 10 the Arizona legislature he first bill he would introduce would Ea one repeal-s ing the war revenue tax. IT necessary to make a compromise iii order to get the bill through the legi ;lature he

would insist at least that the tax be removed from all bottled goods.
 The heart of the Frenchman warmed. He invited MT. McCabe and friends to drink on the house and he pledged his support and influence to the demo- cratic ticket. Schultz, however, went republican, but by a reduced majority.
 This episode really and literally oc- cured. Ridiculous as MT. McCabe's pledge was it was no more so than Col. Wilson's promise to avenge the crime Of '73, and the credulity Of the French man was TO more pitiful than that Of a considerable part of the people of Arizona as expressed in the vote of one week ago yesterday.

paign on the Jucaro- Moron trocha have broug-- their wealth with them. One would believe it had Desn a cam paign Of merchants, net soldiers
 In the cities it has been the same only in a. greater degree. In one case, two years ago, a Spanish officer ar rived with scarcely a possession save his uniform. His pay has been in ar rears most Of the time, but his wealth is now estimated at more than $200,- 000. and he is the owner of some Of the finest houses in, the city.
 The officers themselves are remark ably frank in regard 10 the matter. They admit they have done no fighting, and that their campaign in the coun- try has been merely one of IoC5. They had no desire to end the war; on the contrary, in many instances, they en- couraged the insurgents and sold them arms and ammunition. When Gomez was reported to marcA one way they would march anotner. A few shots fired at fleeing Crban would be mag nifed into a greas victory.

CARE OF MEN IN HE TROPICS
Surgeon-Mojor John Bliss Shaw's
 Suggestions.

New York, Nov. 15.-SuTEs Major John Bliss Shaw Of the Third Illinois volunteer regiment, which came here yesterday On the transport Roumanian, speaking Of the experie nce5 Of the command in Porto Rico, said they had been severe, ard these of che rank and file who started out with an idea that the trip would be picnic had much to grUmble about. He said he did not sea how the authorities at Washington could have alleviaied their trials, and added that the food and supplies, such as they had, were plentiful.
 If 1 were called upon to make rac- concentrations, said Dr. Shaw, 'I would recommend that an increased quantity Of cereals and vegetables be provided. If you had fat salt pork served to you three times a day for months in a hot climats you would be- come tired of it. We had canned beef served to Us, and when it was opened the beef seemed all right, but it would spoil before it was put on the fire.
 f'Th3 heavy rains down there were injurious to the health of the troops. Often while they were out on post duty it would pour as it never does up here, and the men would be drenched for long periods. Another cause for tll-health is the custom of leaving the refuse from the sugar mills to decay in piles, and then spreading il over the ground for fertilizing purposes.
 T think thaS there should be 9 cCni bination of regimental and division hospital system. At present all regi- mental hospitals ar= abolished. Now, when volunteer is taken i'll and stays with his regiment, he feels that he is. under '>he care Of and with friends, as often the regimental surgeons are the family physicians of the men in private lifa. But when man is taken 10 a di- vision hospital he is only one of many, unknown personally to nurses and sur geons, and his loneliness expresses him

BUT TO ACQUIRE MUCH WEALTH
They Will Return to Spain With We'll filled Pockets, While the Starved and llI-treated Common Soldier
 Goes Back Unpaid.

New York, Nov. 15.-The Herald published the following from Havana:
 Residents here are fearful that seri- ous disturbances will arise before the city has been evacuated by the Spanish troops. This, it is believed, will be brought about by the irritation of the soldiers at the continued delay of their pay. Six, eight and in some cases ten months are dus them, and they are claiming that they should at least be paid in part before returning home.
 In order to satisfy the outcry the governn ent is issuing to each man shipped a due note, collectable in Spain for the amount in arrears. The lowest estimate of the sum due is $5,000.000 Spanish gold.
 But whatever may be the condition of the Spanish soldier, the Spanish of fcer is not returning with pockets empty. He has net depended merely on his army pay to support him, but has seized what opportunity offered Even these returning from a long cam
