LONG LIST OF D-BRYAN'S
REGIMENT TO STAY IN.
Long List of Dead.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-The Tribune prints
statistics showing thenumber OF soldiers
who have been killed in battle and have
died of disease in camps during tho war
with Spain. The Tribune says:
While $50 officers and mon have been
killed in battle or died OF woundr re-
ceived, there have died OF disease in camps
between 200 and 1000 volunteers and
regulars. Tho Tribune has secured the
names OF 1884 who died in camp, on
Transports, or Mt home after contracting
the dread malady alone OF the camps.
There is no doubt about the 1884
whose names have been secured. Neither
is there much doubt that there are hun
dreds dead whose names could not be Sc
cured on account OF lack of records or
the inability or unwilingness of army
officers to furnish lists of the dead.
The Tribune gives the following sta-
tistics OF dead in each camp, giving in
every instance n full list of names aud
the nature OF the disease. The list by
camps is as follows:
Camp Thomas, 352; Santiago, 341;
san Francisco, rs; Camp Alger, rs:
Camp Wikoff, 63; Jacksonville, so;
Tampa, 5S; Miami, &c; Fernandina,
Lakeland, Camp Meade, and other minor
camps, in private hospitals, at home,
ll3: state camps, 3G; transports and
hospital ships, 90; total. 1854.
Deaths ARE uitributrd to the following
causes. Typhoid fever, 515; yellow
lever IA; dyscntary, 63; meningitis, AZ
mn'arin, 81; pneumonia, G1; cause re-
ported as fever, LOG: miscellaneous ail-
mrnts or diagnosis not reported, 327

The Cause of the Trouble.

That all necessary school books were
not ready for the opening of school is not
the fault of booksellers here. The work
of the State board wns not completed
until late in July. The county board
then had to make its selection from the
liets adopted by the State board. They
had great many books to examine and
compare, and their work was finished
only about two weeks ago. That left
too little time for the necessary arrange
ments with the various publishing
houses, rs scarcely any two books came
from the same place. The books for the
public schools nr1 expected daily, and
will dou tless be in the hands of the
b oksellers by the time the schools out.

The Commanding General, Montauk,
New Yerk:
The New York World of about the
2Sth ultimo published statement of the
death of Private Hugh Parrett, OF the
Eighth Regulars. in which it is charged
that when he begged of the doctor to
take him to the hospital, the doctos no.
tiged him that the hospital was for sick
men, and it is reported that Parrett died
that night. This account is sent me by
Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, who
says there is great Indignation in his
community over the case, and if it is, as
reported, there should be an investiga-
tion. wish an inquiry Immediately
instituted to find out about the matter,
ard report mace to me. 1 understand
one Sergeant Rich, of the same company
or regiment, is under arrest for having
complained Of this matter. 1 have
heard much of the neglect of the men,
much of which, no doubt, is fictitious,
bur if there is any foundation tor this
statement, or if there are any men i'll
in the regulars in their tents that are
not provided for. wish to know the
reason why, and at once; also the
names of the regiment and company in
each case. r. A. ALGER,

The Virginia Regiments.

1t appears from thelatest publications,
that the Second Virginia Regiment, as
well as the Third is to be mustered out
OF the service. II SO our Lynchburg sol
dier boys will soon be at home again to
take up their peaceful vocations. No
Virginia regiment has seen active service
in the Spanish war. They have shown
their willingness to fight for their coun
try. They have endured all the hard
ships OF camp life, but they have had no
opportunity to signalize their courage
on the battlefield. Still they have earned
the gratitude of their countrymcn by
promptly responding to the call for vol
unteers. We cannot doubt that il they
had been given nn opportunity to meet
the enemy they would have given agood
account of themselves. Many OF our
brave boys are disappointed that they
have lost the chance to distinguish them
selves in battle, but it ought to be graft
flying to them and all of us that peace
has been secured without great effusion
OF blood.
1t is something OF surprise to us that
the Second Regiment, which forms n
General Lees command, is to be mus
tered out. 1t was believed that General
Lee and his whole corps, the Seventh,
would be gent to Cubd this fall. We are
not informed why thechangeo of program
was made. 1t is probably true TINT
General Lee will be sent to Cuba as gov
ernor, but il so it appears that the See
ond Virginia Regiment will not go with

Lebanon, Va, Sept. G.-No
grander day for Democracy was
ever known in the Ninth district
Of Virginia than has been this one
at Lebanon.
AS old Sol began to show him
self over eur mountains, the voters
of Russell county commenced to
put in an appearance at the county
scat. From every hill and hollow,
from every nook and dell they
came and came until the largest
crowd that was ever assembled in
the county was here. There was
Il silent determination in the peo-
pie to hear what the candidates
had to say.
Rhea opened and Walker closed,
Rhea poured the hot shot into
Walker on his record and Walker
took all his time trying eXplana-
tions. No such enthusiasm was
ever seen in Russell county as
during Rhea's twenty minutes re-
joindec. Walker squirmed and
twisted under the terrific fire aud
tile Democrats wildly applauded.
Walkers last rcjoindcr fell like "a

gcred. Walker once or twice lost
his head. Rhea was cool and de.
termincd throughout. The Demo
Gratis have been stirred to the bot
tom, and they al say that Rhca

"Please Correct It."

Is tho heading of an article in your

Ruff. You will please do us the kind
kess to publish this reply. In this arti-
Gle Mr.. Ruff stated that we were net
authorized to advertise concert for the
benefit of the Presbyterian church fund.
Now we are compelled to say Tint Mr.
Ruff knew that we were authoriz d, as
we told him who authorized us.
Whether we were legally authorized or
not is not for us to say, as wo didn't
know who the church session were. As
for that, we did not think it made any
difference if the church session approved
or not, rs Mr.. Ruff said they did nota p
prove the other one we gave for their
benefit. But we noticed that they did
not refuse the money, anyway. Now, if
this is not inconsistency, will some
brother please name it.

CENSOR FOR HAITIEN CABLE
United States Controls Communica-
tiOn With Puerto Rico.

New York, May l.-Brigadier Genral
A. w. Greedy, head Of the signal corps of
the war department is in the city. He
did not visit the army headquarters on
Governors Island, but Lieutenant j. e.
Maxfield, Of the signal department, was
in conversation with him.
1t was learned afterward that General
Greedy assigned Lieutenant Maxtield to
the duty Of exercising censorship for the
government over the cable to Haiti
This fact, in connection with the report
that an invasion Of Puerto Rico is con
templated as well as Of Cuba, was re-
gardede as extremely significant in army
circles. 1t was said by an officer:
at looks as if the placing of censor
ship over the Haitien cable which leads
to Puerto Rico means blow at the Span
iards in Puerto Rico as we'll as in Cuba
The seizure of the Spaniards, base of sup
plies at Puerto Rico before the Spanish
fleet arrives would do more to kill their
operations on this side of the ocean than
anything else that would be done The
preparations to transport troops to Tampa
means that the actual invasion of the
Spanish possessions is not to be put off
until after the rainy season.
