In view of the many startling re-
ports concerning the number of
men who have died of disease in
the army, the statement that less
than one per cent. of those who
have entered the army have lost
their lives is rather surprising, still
the cold figures show these facts:
In Porto Rico-killed, officers 8,
men :; wounded, officers 4, men 50.
In Manila-Killed, officers o, men
Is; wounded, officers 10, men IS.
In Cuba-killed, officers 20, men

Clean Up.

There seems to be a disposition
to not comply with the notice
issued by the health Inspector, by
the authority Of the Board of Health,
to the property holders Of the town
to put their premises in a sanitary
condition. This should not be.
Every citizen Of the town ought to
comply with this requirement of
= the Board without being compelled
to do so. Let the Board instruct
the inspector to rigidly enforce
this regulation. The inspector may
be assisted by the police in this
work. Let every property-holder
be made to understand that the
Board means business and that no
exception will be made in the en-
forcement of this very necessary
ordinance. Make everybody clean
up, and lose 40 time about it. The
board should have its regulations
respected. There is a way to do it
and it should be done.

SHREWD CARLISTS
Are Moving Cautiously Toward a
Revolution.

London, July 22.-Despite the denial of
the Madrid correspondent of the Times,
special dispatches from Madrid to the
that come by way of the frontier and
eIude censorship, continue to assert that
the CarlistS are active For instance, the
Madrid correspondent of the Standard
says:
1.-THE government continues to receive
from civil and military authorities in
many provinces alarming information as
to Carlist preparations. Arms and am
munition have been introduced by many
mountain passes into Navarro, AragOn
and Catalonia. it is supposed, with the
connivance of the local authorities on both
sides of the frontier.
The Carlist agents and leaders know
that they can act with certain amount
of impunity, because, so long as the pre-
tender and his representatives and news
papers in Madrid periodically disclaiIn all
intention of disturbing the peace during
the war with the United States they feel
certain that Senior Sagasta and the au-
thOrities will not dare arrest or modest
Carlists. They assume that Senior Sa-
gasta cannot afford to affrOnt a large sec
ton of the people and risk civil war when
his hands are so full.
In some few places, however, the mill
tary governors have suppressed the Carl
ist newspapers and have warned the Carl
list junta that stronger measures will be
taken if they persist in agitation. The
Carlists in Madrid say that the first ris-
ings will occur in western, central and
southern Spain, their ancient stronghOlds.

MERRITT'S ARMY.
Under Existing Orders It Will Con-
sist of 10000 Men.

San Francisco, July 22-The trans
port Rio de Janeiro will receive her
complement of 1000 troops today and
will be in readiness to sail for Manila
on Saturday. Another 1000 will depart
part on the steamer St. Paul on next
Tuesday or Wednesday.
The big ships Arizona and Scandal
can each take 1500 men. If they are
sent to Manila with troops the number
of men sent to Manila will amount to
$4,000. Gen. Merritt's friends say he
will be satisfied with that number in
spite of the fact that 5000 troops be
longing to the Philippine expeditionary
force will be left behind.
Quartermaster Long has received in
structiOns to charter no more vessels,
but Gen. Merriam has not received or
ders to discontinue sending troops to
the Philippines.
The removal of the division hospital
from Camp Merritt to the Preside
means more than its location on a bet
ter site, for the invalids instead of be-
ing cared for in tents will be chartered
in comfortable brick buildings. The
army and navy Christian commission
tent at Camp Merritt accommodating
1000 persons has been located with the
Kansas regiment. The commission
will locate another tent in the lines of
the First New York regiment.
Col. Barber of the New York volun-
teers is in poor health and will go to

HEIR TO MILLIONS FOUND.
Two Summer Resort Hotels in g
Young Iowan's WindfalL

Waterloo, Ia, July 22.-JOhn w
Pierce, of this place, will be one of the
richest men in Iowa, if the stories made
public are true. He is said to have
fallen heir to property worth So 900, 900.
He is p years of age, and is the adopted
son of w. w. Pierce, a constable.
The young mans name was Burnett.
His mother died in his infancy, and
he has since lived with his foster
parents. Several years ago his father
was killed. The property which he in
herited consists of 1900 acres of land
near Portland, Ore, and 2. 900 acres 10
Gated in Racine, Dane, Washington and
Grant counties, Wisconsin.
Harry P. Burnett, the young mans
uncle, located many years ago in the
suburbs of South Portland where he in
vested in land, which has since largely
increased in value. There are also
fruit farms and stock farms. on which
are kept 10000 sheep, together with
other animals. In addition there are
mineral springs and a summer resort
hotel which yields an annual rental of
1000. The revenue of the farms is
$50 600 a year.
Burnett died eight years ago, and
since that time attorneys have been
looking for the lost hear in the person
of J. W. Burnett, who now turns up
bearing the name of Pierce, that of his
foster parents
The Wisconsin property consists of
farms to the amount of 1900 acres, all
rented. One of these tracts borders on
the lake, a few miles from Madison, and
here, too, is located a summer resort
hotel.

has been given up as lost. She was
never spoken after she passed Cape
Flattery, and no message has come
from any one of her complement of

graphic Office received reports during

of local shipmasters that the Pelican
struck one of these logs at night and
sank before her boats could be manned.
