FIXING THE HLAME.
E1Igeon General Sternherg's Report Deals
With Sickness OF Troops.

s-ngeon General sternherg's Report Deals
With Sickness of Troops.
WAsHINGToN. Nov. %. Surgeon Cen
sral George NJ. Sternberg has made his
ceport to the secretary of war. It re-
iates 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.
sTal has this to say regarding the great
amount of sickness among the troops:
''In 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 its ranks. Medical examiners
were appointed to testify to the physical
qualifications of each man before accept
ance, but, notwithstanding this, so many
men were afterwards found on the sick
lists of the camps unfit for service from
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 a
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.
'lhe 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 responsible
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 a 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
other influence which affected them"

QUIT POOLING
Deep and Bitter Dissatisfaction
at the Deley of the Paris
Commission
Voiced by Representatives of the
Commercial Bodies Of
Spain.
Philippines Practically Lost to
Spain and She Should Get
What She Can.
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 a 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. It is the functionaries, the
monastic 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

charge of the cremation Of h remains
of Captain Charles Vernon Gridley. 1t
win be remembered that Captain Grid
ley took an active part In the battle OF
Manila. but soon after that famous VIC
tory was taken seriously i'll and started
to come home. While on his way from
Manila to Yokohama he died at sea.
His body brought to Yokohama. where,
al the request of his wife. in this coun-
try, it was cremated. The ashes have
since been received in this country.
The Japan Gazette. an English news
paper published in Yokohama, of June
IL. contains the following account of
the cremation:
las stated yesterday. on arrival at
the quarantine crematory, Nagahama,
Kanagawaken. at midday. IL was found
that according to japanese regulations
cremation could not take place until I
o'clock in the evening. n those who
attended (Messrs. Abel, Rogers, Nc
Williams and Paymaster McDonald) re-
turned to Yokohama, leaving Mr.. Hol-
gate, the undertaken, in charge. In the
afternoon Paymaster Mcdonald with
our reporter) went back to the crema-
tory to attend the cremation. On ar
rival at the building the coffin was
placed within the incinerator and the
door sealed. Shortly after Z o'clock ig-
milton took place and the incineration
commenced. Owing to the body having
been previously embalmed, the coffin
was unusually thick and cremation took
a longer time than is wont. At about
IL o'clock the sides of the coffin fell
away and exposed the remains to a
greater heat, and by 6 a. m. everything
was ready for the seal to be broken.
The reduced remains were then gath
cred, taken out and carefully placed
within a casket, sealed IN the presence
of Paymaster Mcdonald, and then
wrapped up in the stars and stripes.
The remains were taken to Yokohama,
where Paymaster Mcdonald took charge
of the casket and conveyed it to the
Standard Oil company's office, leaving
it in the care of Messrs. Abel and Rog-
ers. who will forward it to Mrs. Gridley
ct Lake Erie. All-whether friends of,
or strangers to, the deceased officer
who have read of his sad death will, we
doubt not. be moved to extend the most
sincere sympathy to his sorrowing
widow, who, however, even in her hour
of deepest sorrow, may be consoled by
the reflection that her gallant husband
lived to render his country devoted
service under circumstances that will
entitle him to the name of hero. Many
willing hands have lent their friendly
aid in the proper carrying out of the
rites of the occasion; but special thanks
are due to Messrs. Abel, Rogers n
Paymaster MsDonald for their untiring
efforts, especially to the latter, who
spared no time and trouble to do all in
his power to assist and who remained at
the Quarantine crematory the night
through. The greatest courtesy was
shown by Mr.. Yokoyama, superintend-
ent, and Mr.. Mort, interpreter, to those
who visited the crematory, where every
thing possible was done to facilitate
matters"
