OVER 1000 SICK.
Preparations to Move Skaters
Army to Long Island.

Washington, July 29.-The war de-
partment has posted the following:
Adjutant general of the army: Con-
dition of the Twenty-seventh: Total

pIexy (Signed) SKATER,
Major General.
Secretary Alger is deeply concerned
over the welfare of the gallant troops
under Skaters command, now encamp-
ed on the outskirts of Santiago. The
health reports show a surprisingly large
number of cases of sickness, but army
surgeons authorize the statement that
these figures are misleading in a certain
sense, and that the situation may not
be nearly SO bad as they would seem to
indicate. The slightest ailment, of the
most temporary nature, SufnceS TO place
a soldiers name on the sick reports,
which, in their present shape, would not
distinguish between such a case and
one of mortal illness. The inference As
that many of these cases in Skaters
camp are of a trivial nature, but go to
swell its grand total of sick and wound
ed. Notwithstanding this mitigating
IaCI, secretary AlSeI - SO4AAS9 ~ AC
move the soldiers at the very earliest
opportunity to a more healthful cline.
The surgeon general under the direc-
ton of the secretary, a few days ago,
inspected a tract of land adjoining
Montauk park, Long Island, belonging
to the Long Island Railroad company
which has been offered to the govern
ment as suitable for a large encamp-
ment. The tract is three miles square,
contains an abundance of fresh water,
a considerable lake, hill $50 feet IN
height and many other sanitary ad-
vantages, including salt water bathing
The necessary orders to equip this as
camping ground will go forward i'm
mediateIy and every advantage viii be
taken of the experience gained IN the
formation of the great camps at Ch1ck-
amauga and Camp Alger to make the
conditions as comfortable as possible
for the battle SCARED veterans OF Shaf-
ter's army. The time for their removal
is left to General Shafter, the only nm
itation placed upon him being that ne
shall not delay the hOmeWard sailing OIL
his troops beyond the moment when
it shall be safe for them to leave SAN
tiago, having regard to the FEVER con
ditions. Meanwhile, details are pelng
made of troops to supply the force
that shall garrison Santiago~so long as
it shall be found necessary to continue
troops there. This force will be maze
I'D almost altogether of immunes.

CAN SELL NEW BONDS.
Fortunate Subscribers Can Transfer
Their Allotment Before Re-
ceiVing It.

Washington, July 29-The treasury
department has issued the following
statement authorizing the assignment
of the new bonds:
In order to save vexatious embarra S.
9nent to larger subscribers to the war
loan bonds-meaning by this, subscrib-
ers for more than $500-the department
mas arranged to recognize transfers of
nouceS of anOtmentS so that persons
receiving notice of the amount allotted
10 them will be in position to realize on
them IN case of necessity, substantially
as readily as If they were in possession
OF the bonds allotted to them. This has
seemed to be the duty of the treasury
department in view of the unavoidable
delay in placing the actual bonds in the
hands Of the larger subscribers. The
energies OF the department are now di-
rected to shipping bonds to small sub
scrlbers, under the general theory of
the law that the small subscribers
should receive the first consideration.
While making the allotment notice
asstgnable as provided will not be as
convenient to the larger subscribers as
would a more prompt delivery Of the
bonds, 1t is believed the arrangement
will fairly meet the needs of those who.
for various reasons can not await the
actual delivery of the bonds
Sample forms of assignment and
transfer have been furnished to the
treasury in New York, Boston
philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Gin
cinnad, St. Louis, San Francisco and
New Orleans, where application can be
made by those interested and fuller
particulars obtained

WHO is CAPT. ALLISON?
a Mysterious White Man at the Camp
of CoIored Soldiers.

A mysterious individual who calls
himself Captain H. A Allison, retired
regular army officer, is creating some
comment by his actions at Camp Leedy.
Where Captain Allison came from no
one knows. He boards in North To-
peka and has a tent at the camp near
those of Col. Beck and Major Brown.
He is a white man past middle age and
is thoroughly posted on army tactics.
He volunteered to assist the officers in
drilling the troops and his services were
accepted. He proved himself a most
efficient drill master and asked no pay
for his services.
But the presence of Captain Allison"
is not agreeable to the army officers in
charge Of the camp. They say that
Allison is not a retired army officer
and so far as they have been able to
discover, has never been in the service.
Complaint has been made by them to
Captain Reynolds, the mastering Off
Ger, and developments are expected.
But it is claimed that the chief reason
for the complaint about the mysterious
individual Is because he NEEDLES with
the commissary department and tells
the negro troops that they are not be-
ing given all they should have to eat.
Some of the wise heads have decided
that Captain Allison" is really a gov
eminent detective who was sent here to
see that the cOmmiSSary department is
properly conducted.
Lieutenant Colonel Beck was seen at
Camp Leedy but said that he knew
nothing personally about Allison. He
said that he makes himself very useful
in drilling and he has been pleased to
have his services. He says that he
came to him and volunteered to assist
him and said that he had been a. captain
in the Fifth United States cavalry.

KENNEDY A FIGHTER. -
Yardmaster of the Santa Fe Handy
With His Fists.

Yardmaster Jack Kennedy of the
Santa Fe at Topeka, is known to be
something of a scrapper. A few days
ago a man was going round with a
black eye and the yardmaster was ac-
cused of it. He pleaded not guilty but
the incident brought to mind the hard
est battle ever fought in the Topeka
yards.
1t was several years ago and there
was a sWitchman who was the bully of
the yard. The only name he had was
Bully and when he walked that
yard around" most everybody stepped
high. One day the Bully announced he
could whip Kennedy and his best man.
A switchman that was about five feet
tall was standing near.
He wants to whip two Of u.s." said
Kennedy.
"Au right said Shorty.
And at it they went, yer honor. Sud
denly the Bully's fist took Shorty in the
pit of his stomach and landed him in
sitting position some ten feet away.
Shorty looked at the Bully and Ken
nedy looked at Shorty.
You can finish whipping him if you
want to-" said Shorty, but 1 have
enough"
Kennedy sailed in and finished the
job and that is where he got his repu-
tatiOn as a scrapper.

Ny word there is none to disputqS
I'm a ruler of people today,
I'm a real hifalutin galoot;
I'm potentate, that's what I am,
can run affairs here I please;
When you meet me, get down and salaam
When you speak to me fall on , our knees
I was working away t'other day,
Never dreaming of what was in store,
When a warship put into the bay
And let of fash and a roar,
And they called me out there and said they
"Be your name Smith, Roberts or Jones
You belong in the States, SO Noray
For the governor Of the Ladronesl'
am monarch of all I survey,
They acknowledge that I'm the Who'll
thing;
I worked with my hands yesterday,
But today I'm as good as a king;
I'm one of the earth's potentates,
The word that I utter is law,
I'm the only man here from the States,
So "hurrah' for me, durn you, ''hurrahl
rule over all in these isles,
speak and the people obey;
The maidens now vie for my smiles
Who passed me with scorn yesterday
I am lord here of man and of brute,
So squat your marrow bones
And indulge in a proper salute
To the governor of the Ladrones.

UNION PACIFIC CHANGE
Rumor That Division Headquarters
and Shops Will Be Moved.

Salfna, July 29.-It has been rumored
here for some months that the division
at Junction City was to be removed to
Salina and the division at Ellis was to
be extended seventy-five miles further
west to Oakley.
Master Mechanic Osborne stated that
he had heard nothing Of the contem-
plated change in divisions. although he
said that it was not at all impossible.
Certain letters which have been re-
ceived by officials in this locality re-
Gently indicate that a change is under
contemplation by the Omaha officials,
no official notice of which, however, has
been received.
Should such a. change occur 1t would
not be until late this year and the
changes may not only result in the
abandonment of the Junction City di-
vision but may as well include the Ellis
shops which have long been desired
here by the leading officials of the road.

Santa Fe To Equip Its Offices
Here
With GraphOphOnes For OFF,
Gals Use.
TAKES DICTATIONS.
RUWOred Union Pacific Change
in Kansas.
Miscellaneous Items of Inter-
est.

The first graphophones in any railroad
Office west of Chicago, will soon be
placed in the office of Mr.. G. S. Sutton,
auditor of freight receipts Of the Santa
Fe, in this city.
Three graphophones have been or
dered for the Office and will arrive here
next week. 1t is expected that the
three machines will do the work Of six
stenographers in taking dictations.
Graphophones are fast taking the
place of stenOgraphers in the east. A
man is able to sit at his desk and talk
his letters into the machine, and later
it is placed on the desk of his type
writer and the letter reproduced in the
same way as reproductions are made on
the photograph. The speed can be reg
ulated perfectly, and while the dictator
may have talked rapidly into the ma
chine, the typewriter can reduce the
dictation to a speed suited to his or
her ability in writing.
The use of the graphophones in Mr..
SuttOn's office will be in the nature of
an experiment, and if their work proves
satisfactory all the Santa Fe offices in
this city will be similarity equipped.

ITALY'S GUNS
Still Trained on the Colombian City
Of Cartagena.

Washington, July 29.-The demand of
Italy upon Colombia for the settlement of
the Cerrud claim has not yet been COM
piled with, and there is still a possibility
that the case may assume a grave aspect.
Some days ago Colombia made an offer to
settle if the italian fleet left Colombian
waters, thus relieving the republic from
the humiliation of acting under pressure.
But 1t is understood that the Italian gov
eminent pointed out that Colombia had
been informed of the purposed arrival of
the squadron at Cartagena and had time
Tor the execution of the award and thus to
eliminate every appearance of coercion.
1t appears, however, that the instructions
10 the Italian admiral give him discretion
as to the mode Of proceeding and allow
him to give due courtesy to Colombia
should time be asked for.
For that reason, it is understood, the
admiral fixed period of twenty days
within which the claim should be paid.
whether this is an ultimatum is not clear.
nut IN view of Italy's position, the action
or the admiral appears to be very near if
There has been much difficulty in learn
ing the exact course of the admiral owing
TO the bad cable service, and the Italian
government for long time was unaware
whether the admiral had submitted his
original demand for speedy payment.

ing at New York that the American con-
