TO LEAVE CAMP CUBA LIBRE.
The seventh Army Corps Health
Makes the Step Necessary

Makes the Step Necessary.
Orders Will soon be issued for the ahan-
donment of Camp Cuba Libre, Jackson
vile, Fla. The reports of medical Off
GERS at the camp have been far from
reassuring for some time, and the War
Department has become convinced that
in the interest of the health of the Sew
enth Army Corps the troops should be re-
moved to another camp. Daily reports
have not been sent to the War Depart
ment from Jacksonville of the sanitary
situation, as has been the case at San
tiago and in Porto Rico, and such re-
ports as have been received from time
TO time have not generally been made
public.
An officer of the corps who was in
Washington recently said that at least 10
or u per cent Of the men were sick with
fever. and that the troops as a whole
were in poor health as result of the eli
matte conditions. Malarial fever he said,
was especially prevalent, and, although
the source of the trouble could not be
traced TO any particular cause, il seemed
probable that the camp would have TO be
removed.
Gen. Lees command, now stationed at
Jacksonville, consists Of only fourteen
regiments, the original thirty regiments

Whether the troops will be Withdrawn
from Jacksonville before the movement

less the regiments are sent Immediately
TO the island it will probably be found
necessary to establish another temporary
camp for the Seventh Corps. These troops

Three Doctors in consultation.

when you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for medicine in the
first place; what experience tells you is
best, to be chosen in the second place:
what reason Ii. e.. Theory says is best is
to be chosen in the last place But If you
can get DR.. Inclination, DR.. Experience
and DR.. Reason to hold a consultation to-
gether, they will give you the best ad-
vice that can be taken''
When you have bad cold DR.. Inclina-
ton would recommend Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant and
safe to take. DR.. Experience would rec
ommend it because it never fails to effect
a speedy and permanent cure. DIR. Rea-
son would recommend 1t because it is
prepared on scientific principles and acts
on natures plan in relieving the lungs.

San Francisco, Oct. 5-Gov Budd today

Sister. He win honor the requisition OF
the governor of Delaware and order the
Issuance OF his warrant for the delivery
ef Mrs. Botkin te Detective McYey, the

The governor did not believe that Mrs.
Botkin was a fugitive from justice, but
thought the law should be tested, and if
il be defective ii could be remedied. For
that reason he could issue the requisi-
ton papers and Mrs. Botkin's attorneys
could carry the matter TO the Supreme
Court on habeas corpus. The case has
excited great interest here because of the

Tobacco seems on the road upward
again and Sugar apparently is bound un-
avoidabiy for the bottom. With these
two stocks that have been the features
during the last two weeks thus divided
and going in separate paths with equal
persistence it is hoped by the average
trader that the general market will have
a chance to exert its own individuality to
small extent. The railway list was gen.
orally strong yesterday, particularly the
grangers- 1t is certain that they were
less affected by Sugar and Tobacco
fluctuations than heretofore. If this
overshadowing of the remainder of the
market is not to be continued it would
seem that there is a good chance of a
strong rally in accordance with the fine
general situation. 1t is to be noticed
however, that there is not the supreme
faith in the bull market that there was
two weeks ago and two months ago.

TRADEsMEN's BANK FAILURE.

>cme surfing Facts.
New York, Oct. 5.-Some startling dis
closures were made today by Bank FIX
aminer Kimball who continued his in
vestigations Of the affairs of the Trades
mems National Bank, which failed yes
terday. He discovered that only few
days before the closing of the Wool Ex-
change, one OF the McNaughton brothers
borrowed $4,000 of the bank, giving his
stock in the exchange as security.
Family relationship is involved in the
affair. James McNaughton, president of
the defunct bank, was a director of the
Wool Exchange, and in the Wool Ware
house Company. His brother, Allen Nc
Naughton, was president of the Wool
Exchange and also a director in the
warehouse company.
A cashier OF one Of the national banks
said today that this failure would prove
to be one of the worst in New York in
years. He thought the depositors might
be paid cent for cent, but the stock
holders would be assessed to the full
value OF the liabilities in order to do it.

details requiring immediate attention.
National Bank Examiner Kimball, in
charge, has been able to make but little
progress in an examination. The embar-

a recent investment OF some $400, 900 in
