INTOXICANTS IN THE ARMY.
General Miles Warns the Soldiers
Against Their Use.

Washington. July General Miles
issued the following general order to
the army:
The army is engaged in active serv-
ice under climatic conditions which it
has not before experienced. In order
that it may perform its most difficult
and laborious duties with the least
practicable loss from sickness, the ut
most care consistent with prompt and
efficient services must be exercised by
ALL especially by officers.
The history of other armies has
demonstrated that in a hot climate alb
stinence from the use of intoxicating
drink is essential 10 continued health
and efficiency. Commanding officers of
all grades and officers OF the medical
staff will carefully note the effect of
the use Of such light bevera ges-say
wines and beer-aS are permitted 10 be
sold at the post and camp exchanges.
and the commanders OF all independent
commands are enjoined 10 restrict or to
entirely prohibit the sale of such bev-
erages, if the welfare of the troops or
the interests Of the service require such
action.
With a view to avoid extreme suf-
fering among wounded horses or mules
on the field of battle, it is hereby or
dered that a veterinary surgeon or
some other person detailed by the com
handing officer, will accompany troops
in an engagement, whose duty il will
be To put an end to the agonies of all
horses or mules that, in his Judgment.
are suffering to degree requiring such
action on his part"

SINKING OF THE BOuRGOGNE
TOTAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE
DROWNED WAS $50.
Agents of the Steamship Line Say the
Crew Behaved Nobly-Passengers
Did the Fighting.

New York, July IA telegram was
received at the French line office today
stating that the survivors of La Bour-
gogne would arrive in Boston by boat
at o'clock Friday morning. They
will probably come to New York by
rail. One of the agents of the line will
go to Boston today.
Acting General Manager Paul Fa-
guel gave out today the following list
of the lost: First cabin, IS; second
cabin, 11S; steerage. 246; officers and
crew, rs. Total. SIS.
A telegram was received from Hall
fax last night by NJ. Faguel from S.
Cunard & Co., which stated that the
wreckage on board La BOurgogne
proved to be such an obstruction that
passengers and crew were unable 10
reach the starboard lift boats. There
was, therefore, a great rush to the port
boats. The crowd endeaVored to
launch these, but owing to the vessed' s
heavy list to port, it was impossible to
do so. The telegram stated that so far
as could be ascertained in Halifax, the
officers and crew did their duty nObly.
Most of the sailors who were rescued
were up out of the water and not taken
from the life boats.
This dispatch contradicted those
which came from unofficial sources. NJ.
F6guel received another telegram stat
ing that life boat No. was taken pos
session OF by some foreigners, presum
ably sailors, who were in the steerage.
1t is presumed that if any violence was
shown towards the struggling passen-
gers by any one it was by these sail
ors. and not by members of the crew
of La Bourgcgne.
Halifax, n. s., July 7.-All the sur
vivors of the La BourgoGne disaster
have departed for New York. The en-
tire company, with the exception of Mr..
and Mrs. Lacasse, left by steamer TO
Boston. The two mentioned left by
train today. The big ship Cromarty-
shire, which is at anchor in the stream,
is the center of interest. Hundreds of
beats loaded with people surround the
ship Many of the curious go or hoard.
No claim for salvage has yet been
made on behalf OF the Allan liner Gre
clan.
