SPANISH MINISTRY ToTrERING.

Madrid, September 9-Via Bayonne,
September l0.-The position Of the min
istry has been greatly shaken by the
charges made today (Friday). against the
government, collectively and individu-
ally, by Senior Canaleja5 editor of El
Heraldo, and now a recognized lieutenant
in the newly organized party headed by
Gen. Polavieja. 1t is believed that Senior
Canalejas has documents to support his
accusation of inoapacity against Lieut..
Gen. Correa, minister for war, and Capt.
Auuon, minister of marine.
A majority of the cabinet listened to
the speech, and the silence of the minis
terial deputies was most significant.
A minister in reply to question today
as to the rumor that ministerial crisis
is imminent, said it was idle to attempt
to conceal the fact that crisis was in
evitable and would come next week after
the chambers had adopted the govern.

NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de

Efforts in Getting Ammunition and
Rations to the Front Saved the Day.

P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3, wri-
ting from Santiago De Cuba, on July
23d, says: "We all had diarrhoea in
more or less violent form. and when we
landed we had no time to see a doctor,
for it was case of rush and rush night
and day to keep the troops supplied with
ammunition and rations, but thanks to
mberlain's Colio,y Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and ke ep our health; in fact. sin
csrely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect saviour of
our army, for if the packers had been IN
able to work there would have been no
way of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself had
the good fortune to lay In supply of
this medicine for our pack-train before
we left Tampa, apd know in four cases
it absolutely saved life"

CAMP THOMAS HOSPITALS
The Report Made by Generals Roe, Sanger
and Mattocks.

Generals Charles f. Roe, j. 7. Sanger
and Charles P. Mattocks, who were ap-
uointed by Major General Breckenridge
as an Examining Beard to investigate 'ne
conditions of hospitals and camps Ii
Chiokamauga Park, made their report over
a week ago. but until. this time It's con-
tents have not been made puphc. Inc
Board declared that the horrible conol-
tions of the camp were due to the neglect
of those In command of Camp Thomas
prior to August l. This was direct
criticism of General Brooke. who was at
that time in charge OIL 1ne camp: hegard-
;no this nerIect one part of the report
read ST.
ave are of the opinion that there has
o,so bean some neglect on the part of the
officers largely responsible for the admin.
istration of Camp Thomas prior TO Au-
gust /.
SHRegarding the conditions of the hospi-
TTsis the Board reported that had the regi-
mental hospitals retained the organiza.
ton established at Camp Thomas at the
time General Brooke was in command,
in place OF being reduosd to dispensaries
in order to provide for division hospitals,
or had later been put on a basis and made
independent of the regiments, the SICK
would have been more effectively cared
for in the early stages of disease, the
number of sick would have been less and
the general sanitary condition of the regi-
ments under closer supervision.
The Board said 1t had been stmposstbie
for one medical. Officer and the hospital
steward on duty with each regiment to
properly examine the men at sick call to
care for the sick in quarters and to look
after the sanitation of the camp.
In truth, the report says, neither the
hospitals nor the dispensaries were equal
to the emergency, and the system appears
to have broken down in vain expert
ment. Summing up, the Board gives
this opinion:-
"In conclusion, the Board is of the
opinion that it is too late to remedy the
present conditions by process which
should have been resorted to when ma
larial and typhoid fever first appeared and
before they became at all prevalent.
1.-THE typhoid fever is now epidemic, and
the Board is constrained to recommend
as the only effective remedy in face Of the
fact that the troops be moved rom
ChiokaMauga Park to localities where tho
proper sanitation measures can be in
augurated and carried out"
It is thought the report was suppressed
because General Breckenridge did not
want anything to pass that appeared like
oensure of General Brooke, whom he sue

HOW TO CUT HONEST SAM.
Circular of Instruction Sent Ont by Gold
Democratic Committee.


The following is copy of a circular
sent out to the members Of the gold
wing of the Democracy by the National
Democratic committee:
In the belief that at the election on
September 18th you will prefer to vote
for Erastus Lermond of Thon,aston, the
national Democratic candidate for
governor, rather than for Samuel L..
Lord of Saco, the Democratic nominee,
who has emphatically espoused and en-
dorssd the Chicago platform OF 1895 with
all ths dangerous doctrines, this circular
is sent to you.
Under the decision of OUR court, the
voter must indicate. his choice in some
one of the party columns.
g The more convenient way to indicate
preference for the national Democratic
governor will be to erase, !. e., run
penoil through the name Samuel L..
Lord of Saco, and write in the space un.
derneath, Erastus. Lermond of Thomas
ton.
Then you should place the K in the
blank space on the ballot above Democrat.
When you have done this. you will
have voted for all the Democratic nomi-
nees except Mr.. Lord, instead of whom
you will have cast your ballot for Eras-
tus Lermond. the candidate of the ma
tional Democrats for governor.
