A MAINE SURVIVOR DIES
He IS LIEUT.. JOHN J. BLANDlN, OFFICER
OF THE DECK.
Unable to Dismiss From His Mind the Horrors
Of That Fatal Night, He Finally Broke
Down Under the Strain,

Baltimore, Nd, July 16.-Lieut John
j. Blandn, who was officer of the deck
on the night the United States battleship
Maine was blown up in Havana harbor
died at noon to-day in the SheNard-
Pratt hospital i'll this city. His death
was the result of meningitis brought on
by the shock received when the Maine
was destroyed.a
Lieutenant Blandin, after giving his
testimony before the Board of Inquiry,
at Key West, was assigned to duty at
the United States photographic office
III this city. His wife and two sons lived
here, and it was thought that the COM
paratively light duties would aid in re-
storing his nervous system. This did
not prove to be the case, however. He
seemed utterly unable to dismiss from
his mind the horrors of the fatal night
which saw the destruction of the battle
ship and the death of so many of his
comrades. and on July LIST he broke
down under the strain and was removed
to the hospital. In the delirlum which
quickly followed he reverted continually
to the incidents Connected with the de-
struction of the battleship and fancied
himself again on deck issuing orders and
aiding in the rescue of his ship mates.
His wife was with him constantly, but
for the past week he has been unable
to recognize her. 1T was hoped until
yesterday that he might recover. but his
illness took an unfavorable turn ana
last night his physicians gave up hope.

HEAVY MARCHING OVENDOEE
Troops in Charleston Used Up BY Ten
Mile Tramp.

Charleston, S. c., July 16.-At Z
O'Clock this morning the three regiments
camped here were ordered out for a ten
mile tramp in heavy marching order.
The day was an excessively hot one, and
the men suffered greatly. Before half
of the journey was accomplished, the
ranks had been decimated by men fall
ing from exhaustion. Before they re-
turned to camp some companys lost
half of their men. Some of the men are
seriously sick as a consequence of the
march. Nineteen of them are in the city
hospital and several of these are thought
to be in a critical condition. They are
having consultations and will need the
most careful attention. The trouble
seems to he that the men have been kept
on travelling rations for over IA week.
Before starting on their tramp this morn
ing they had breakfast consisting of
hard tack, coffee and canned tomatoes.
There was not sufficient food to sustain
them through the task set for them. The
sympathies of the town folk were great
~ excited by the spectacle presented by
the soldiers returning to camp, and their
officers are being harshly criticized for
sending them out on so long a march
without better food and on so hot day.

VIII Move to Higher Ground Near San
tiago- Military Government Likely
There.
Washington, ID. c., July 16.Pending
the settlement of the details of the >capi-
tuIation of Santiago. the War Depart
ment officials are giving the major por-
ton of their attention to the adoption
of strict measures for the protection of
our troops from yellow fever and from
low tropical fevers. The department
has decided to remove the troops at San
tiago at the earliest possible moment to
the country in the rear. Adjutant Gen
eral Corbin. said to-day that within five
miles Of Santiago proper, the conditions
were as nearly ideal rs were obtainable
in the tropics for stamping out the fever;
high hills ensured well drained camps,
most important element in the preser-
Walton Of health; the water supply com
ing from the mountains was pure and
abundant. and fresh sea breezes pre-
vailed. While the main body of troops
is to be transferred back to these hills
until they are needed for service else

States. some troops necessarily Will be
placed either in the town itself or in
camps commanding the place, in order
to protect the inhabitants. 1t is be-
lieved that the two regiments of i'm
munes already on their way to Santiago.
will be assigned TO that duty. This will
be severe test of the principle involved
in the formation of the immune regi-
ments. for it is suspected that many of
the alleged immunes are merely persons
who. have spent only few weeks in the
tropics under conditions that never
brought them into direct exposure to
yellow fever. 1t is the principal inten-
ton of the authorities here to maintain
a military government at Santiago, re-
CARELESS of hints from Cuban sources
that they are prepared to undertake the
administration there. 1t is believed
that the United States is under moral
to the world to see to it that
nothing but a highly civilized govern
ment shall be set up in Cuba, wherefore
the authorities here are disposed to be
extremely cautious, and to make full
test of the capacity of the Cubans be-
fore entrusting the lives and property OF
the people of Santiago to their care.

NO YELLOW FEVER HERE.

Washington. d. c., July 1G-Dr. Wy

so far as he know there was not Il case

in the country. There bad been reports
to the effect that the island of Tortugas
would be fitted up for the reception of

Department would soon remove the
small body of troops now stationed

His Old Friend Lowers His Colors and
Breaks the Worlds Record
New York, July 16.-For the second
time this year, Jimmy Michael, the once
invincible paced bicyclist was forced to
drink the bitter cup of defeat His old
schoolmate in Wales. Tom Linton, WAS
the one to lower Mchael's colors today,
and at the same time he broke the
worlds record for distance; Linton ac-
complished the feat in a 2O-mile paced
race at Manhattan Beach i'll the pres
enee of $1,000 people.
For four miles it was a pretty race,
Michael leading for few yards. Sud
denly Michaers tire collapsed Naturally
Linton pursued him and after iding two
laps of fifth mile, Michael stopped and
pedalled slowly to "his corner" where
he changed his damaged wheel for new
one. In the meantime Linton kept going
like the wind and before Michael came
back on the track was one mile ahead.
When Michael left the track he was
greeted with IA storm of Kisses. Michael
met with another slight drawback on
entering his tenth mile when his pacing
teams broke chain. After Michael let
up. there was little interest in the RAD
OUTSIDE OF i<inIon ; EFFORTS TO TeuHce the
record. Although he tried hard he could
ad no new figures until the fifteenth mile
was reached, when he started i'll by clip
ping five seconds off the record. He con-
timed ahead of the record every mile
until the finish. breaking the twenty mile
record by exactly seven seconds. He
could have made better time had he not
lost his pacemakcrs while rounding for
the last lap.
Not satisfied with the result. Michael
atonce challenged Linton for another
race a twenty-five miles. Linton accept
ed and the race will be run at Manhattan
Beach track Saturday next.
