Peace Flag Was One of the Features
On the Stage Yesterday.


Washington, May MANY additional
delegates to the National Congress of
Mothers arrived today, and the three
sessions of the congress were more
largely attended than any of the pre-

stage today was the Peace Flag made
of three stripes of white, purple and
yellow satin. On the center stripe of
purple is shield shaped piece of white
satin. bearing dove and olive branch.
Within the shield are clasped hands,
and below it a ribbon scroll on which
are the words PRO ConcOrdia Labor"
This flag was first hung over the stars
and stripes. but many of the patriotic
women objected so strenuously that it
was removed.

IN SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco, May 4-There was
lively furry in the grain market today.
December wheat advanced from 1.621S
yesterday to 1.7S per Genital The sales
were very heavy, owing entirely to re-
ports from the foreign markts.' AT the
close of the day the situation was very
strong. and there was every evidence that
tomorrow's market would be higher still.
1t is the general belief that December
wheat will touch 81. The other futures
were affected sympathetically and May
wheat rose from 1.70 on Tuesday to I. 10.

General Wheeler has ordered General
Adelbert Ames. chief of staff on Cen
eral Kent's staff, to conduct an inves-
tigation. He is given almost autocratic
powers. General Wheeler has ordered
him to get to the bottom of all the
things which have been complained of.
The subjects to be investigated are:
Why is the general condition of the
camp so poor? Why do the conditions
that prevail exist? Who is RESPONSE
bile? Why were troops sent TO the
camp before it was ready TO receive
them?
leading into the camp, were boats not
used to carry men and provisions from
New York city?
Why needed medicines were not or
dered; or, if they We're ordered, why
they were not distributed?
Why the hospitals are crowded?
Why transports were allowed TO lie in
the harbor without supplies and relief
being sent out to them?

THE PROTEST UNHEEDED
Wikof Worse Plague Spot
Than Chickamauga.
AN INFAMOUS PEST HOLE
Lieutenant Colonel Senn Talks About
Conditions in the Recuperation
Camp at Montauk Point.
Must Be Cleaned.

New York, Aug 3o.-Medical officers
at Wikoff deny there have been deaths
at the camp from yellow fever. Two
men whose deaths yesterday were said
to be attributable to the disease named
were, according to the surgeons in
charge, victims of pernicious malarial
fever, which is frequently mistaken for
yellow fever. DIR. Sem, assistant sur
geon general, is quoted as saying to-
day at Camp wikoff:
I'm justice to the camp, want to say
almost none of the sickness among the
soldiers up to the present time, and
none of the deaths have been due to
the conditions which prevail here. The
sickness has been almost entirely linn
tied to fevers contracted in the South
and the death rate would have been
much more than now had the men re-
mained in the South instead of being
brought here"
Several hundred cots this morning
were put in the different hospitals.
| There is now enough room to accom-
modate all the sick.
Lieutenant Colonel Sem, who be-
heves the government should take
more sanitary precautions at Camp
Wikoff, when asked if he brought his
views before the Washington author
tiles, said:
Il have not done so in connection
with Camp Wikoff. My protest in re-
gard to the other camps have passed
unheeded. In regard to Camp wikoff,
l have written an article embodying all
my views, which will be printed in a
medical journal over my signature, and
Will be reported to the authorities in
Washington, am sure.
Then i will be asked about il and
Will emphasize my opinions. / want to
say that unless this camp is cleared
out within six weeks, it will be the
worst infected place in the United
States. The soil will be permeated with
typhoid fever and epidemics will fol-
low. 1t will be worse than it has been
at any time at Chickamauga.
I'm regard to that camp, I want to
say that | warned the Washington au-
thorities before the soldiers were sent
there that danger would result from
massing a body of men there. I told
them that the water supply was in
sufficient and the use of river water
would result in typhoid fever. My pro-
tests went unheeded. The result was
shown when l was in Porto Rico with
General Miles. About the first men
sent him were from Chckamauga.
They were run down and half sick
when they arrived. They were in no
condition to stand the climate. Gen
eral Miles noted their weakness and
told him the cause of it. | asked him
to notify the Washington authorities
and have the Chickamauga camp
broken up He did so at once and the
evacuation of the place followed.
Il want to say that as bad as
Chickamauga was, this place will soon
be far worse. Unless this camp is
olya, xx-itb cfx I tot
that it will be, instead of a recupera-
tion camp, a horror camp worthy to
rank with the infamous pest holes of
the civil war"

REWARDS OF MERIT.
A Board Appointed to Determine Who
Is Entitled to Recognition.

Washington, Aug. 3o-The acting
secretary of the navy to-day appointed
board composed of officers OF the
highest rank, to meet at the navy de-
partment to consider and report upon
all cases of officers deserving of a re-
ward for specially meritorious services
during the war with Snain other than
those officers whose services have al
ready been recognized by promotion.
Ihe board is composed of Rear Admiral
Montgomery Sicard. formerly president
OF the naval war strategy board; Ad-
nliral Matthews, president of the
navy, examining and retiring, and Rear
Admiral Charles Norton, commandant
OF the Washington navy yard. Admiral
Norton is on the retired list and Ad-
mirals Sicard and Matthews will be
retired within a few months. Ensign
Harry r. Smith has been assigned TO
duty as recorder of the board Colonel
Charles Haywood, commandant of the
marine corps. Will sit as member of
the board when the cases of officers of
the marine corps are under considera-
ton. There has been considerable un-
favorable comment in regard to the
promotions already made, on the
ground that they have really acted to
a form of degradation in the cases OF
several deserving officers who have
been actually reduced to their grade
through the advancement of others. II
Is hoped that the work of the special
board just appointed will do away
with all cause of complaint i'm the case
of officers yet TO be advanced i'm grade
or otherwise rewarded for their war
services

of the representative committee. This
document says I'm part:
There are about 5000 American SOL
diers i'm Porto Rico and on the day of
our departure, Aug. %, there were over
1000 men on the sick list There was a
large number of typhoid cases but on
the 22d inst. this disease was not on the
increase, a fact which indicates the mall
ady had been carried from camps at home
and is not indigenous to Porto Rico How
ever, there was a very large increase in
diarrhoea, dysentery, breakbone fever and
malarlal diseases, due to the rainy season
just commenced.
"All medical authorities in the army I'm
Porto Rico agree that the sick list i'm in
creasing and an alarming condition may
be expected unless the war department
promptly arranges barracks for the army
and Immediately provides additional
transports to relieve such sick men as
can be safely transferred home. 1t is i'm

climate to recuperate In a tropical coun-
