Americans Begging I'm Havana.

Havana, Nov. 19.-Of late Havana has
been almost overrun with Americans
who have arrived here quite without
means Of support. but in hopes of get
ting lucrative employment. Scores OF
them are now begging in the streets of
the city. There is really no inducement
whatever in Havana for outsiders at
present. and begging will be the almost
Inevitable fate Of nine-tenths OF those
who come here in search of work.

STRICKEN SOLDIERS
Deputy Surgeon General Smart
Gives Comparative Figures
ON MORTALITY FROM SICKNESS.

In the War Between the States tho
Death List From Disease Far Ex.
cceded That For the Same Period In
the War Against Spain.
Washington. Nov. 22.-Colonel Charles
Smart. deputy surgeon general of the
army, has sent communication to
Surgeon General Sternberg. comparing
the deaths from sickness in the war
with Spain and In the civil war. He
says In part:
In reply to your inquiry can very
promptly state that the sickness and
mortality during the war with Spain
was not relatively so great as that
from which our volunteer troops suf-
fered during the civil war.
In April. 1861. President Lincoln
called for $4,000 volunteers, but 1t was
not until July %. when his call for
100000 was made. that we had armies
comparable In size with those recently
In existence. Beginning. then, with
July. 1861, when we had medical re-
ports from regiments aggregating only
69,1lS men, and including August. Sep
tember. October and November. five
months, we find recorded a loss by
death OF 3,075 men In the reports sent
In by medical officers from an average
strength present of 1850 men. or
17.N deaths out OF every thousand men
during that period Of five months.
In April. 1895. President Mckinley
called for 125,000 men. and later for
$4,000. which. with an increase in the
regular army and the immune and
other special regiments. made a total
OF over 10000 men. Beginning with
May. 1898. for which month we have
medical reports In the Office of the sur
geon general OF the army from regi-
ments aggregating 15l .6S5 men, and in
Guiding June. July. August and Sep
tember, five months, we find on file a
loss by death of only LIS men report
ed by medical officers. In an average
strength OF 167,1 ,16S men, or 1871 deaths
out Of every thousand men during that
period of five months.
Mortality from disease reached its
maximum In the camps Of our civil war
only at the end ten months. II we
count from July. 1861. or at the end Of
IL months II we count from May. 1861.
when F.56 men had been buried out
Of every thousand Of strength present.
or, to put 1t otherwise, the maximum
monthly mortality was reached only
after ten or twelve months OF suffer-
ing. during six Of which the mortality
was greater than that OF the disease
which did so much harm in August
last. In that month the country be-
came excited over the hysteric utter
ances Of yellow journalism, with 4.0S
deaths Inr thousand. and the morale of
the army became broken by making the
volunteer believe that never in the
history Of armies had men suffered
from disease as he and his companions
had suffered. Yet 81 years ago the
flower Of the manhood Of this country,
after months Of deadly losses. suffered
in April. 1862. more than twice the loss
incurred in August last. and instead OF
going home on sick furlough they grid
ed up their loins for the attack on

1t is known of all men that the Cath

go to the front for the disenthrallment

and through the voice of the layman
the people of that religion are show
ing as much zeal and. enthusiasm for

AS for the Irish race in America, they
have ever been the most loyal of our
tcitiZens. There was not battlefield
tof the last great war without host of
gallant wearers of the shamrock in the
hottest of the fighting, and Phil Sher-
idan, an IrishAmerican and a Roman
Catholic was but a sample of the men
! of Irish nativity or descent who brought
glory to the arms of the Union. that
had the battle of Cedar Greek as one
of its most memorable and glorious
incidents. AS there is scarcely a fam

to assume that the sentiment of the
transplanted Irishman is the sentiment
of his people at home. All this talk

San Jose Mercury: 1t must be ex-

a hundred thousand men from their

tent reduce the purchasing capacity of

unwilingness of dealers to make large
orders, in view of the uncertainty, will
probably cause some depression among
certain of the industries while the war
is in active progress. On the other
hand, the demands Of the army and
navy for supplies will create an unusual
demand for many lines Of products.
