shafter Not Responsible.
Washington, Aug. 's.-Gen. Shafter,
in report to the war department, en-
phatically denies that he is responsible
for the inadequate provision made for
the sick and wounded brought from
Santiago dc Cuba to the United States
on the Seneca and Concho. Everything
possible, he says, was sent with the sick
and wounded. The matter of shortage
of water, he says, Is inexcusabe. He
concludes his report asifollows:
There Is no excuse for lack of food. as
there has at all times been plenty of that
have no doubt that many more were put
on the ship than should have been, ow-
ing to the great desire to get home as they
had the fear of yellow fever, and were al
most wholly without hospital accommoda-
tion.
'Thesiek and wounded had only the cloth
ing on that they Wore into the battle and,
of course, that was ragged and worn out
by the time they reached home. There
was none 10 issue to them at the time they
left. and their own extra clothing they

Shiny interior it will infect all the water
which is put into it, however pure the
source may be from which it comes
Hence the elimination of the mussack is
a great step toward the prevention of the
Water-borne diseases from which India
suffers. Again, however, we say we must
NOS be too sanguine, for it is not the mus
sack itself that does the harm, but the
native who misuses it, and the native is
always with us-good faithful fellow in
his way, but STEPPED to the eyes in pre-
JUDGE, and bad to move along sanitary
lines The native cook, with his peculiar
ly dirty ways. Is responsible for much,
and the fact that the cealing of the cook
house is left to a sweeper is answerable
perhaps for more, so that while the intro
duction of the pure tap-water into The
kitchens is a great thing, the difficulties
arising from native habits still remain. In
the article on Water Borne Diseases" in
the Twentieth Century Practice of Medi-
cine the following remarks appear in re-
gard to cholera: THE phrase water
borne then, as applied to cholera. does
not refer merely to the infection OF great
water supplies giving rise to vast epidem-
les, but has to do with cups and plates
and cooking utensils, and the water in
which they are washed; with salads and
vegetables, and the water they are irri-
gated with in the garden and rinsed with
in the kitchen; and with the personal
cleanliness of all who are concerned in the
preparation, storing and distribution of
food or drink. In this sense nearly all
cholera, at one part or another of its
course from man to man, is water-borne.'
What applies to cholera applies equally
to typhoid fever. But when we use the
term in this wide sense we see clearly
that the role of hygiene in regard to wa
ter supply, far from ending at the tap is
then only just beginning. The abolition
of the mussack would be a step in the
right direction, but even that is still far
off. while the education of the native in
wolves a multitude of steps. each of which
IS more difficult than the laying of many
pipes into scores of kitchens

GUNGA DIN's FAILING.
He Is Faithful. But His Water Bottle
Is Dirty and breeds Cholera.
From the HOspita


The principles of hygiene are no doubt
the same whether in the East or in the
West. but the details and the character of
the difficulties to be overcome differ great
ly according to the country, and especially
according to the people with whom we
have to deal This is strikingly brought
home TO us by the fact that only now
arc we attempting in the East TO deal with
a matter which, TO Western views, would
seem 10 touch the very foundations of
sanitary science, namely, the old and
worldwide practice of carrying water in
skins. The problem of water supply i'll
the West hinges principally on the purity
of the source from which the water is de-
rived and we are apt to take for granted
that when we once have got the water
The distribution is mere matter of taps
ana pipes. In India, however, it is other
wise for there they are only just begin
ming to escape form ancient methods. Even
where pipe water has been laid on by mu-
inequalities il Is often carried to the houses
in mussacks-the old leathern bottles
which were in use before history began
so that the chances of pollution during dis
tribuLiOn are quite as important as those
arising from impurity of source.
In some of the stations in India the gov
eminent is getting rid of the old dirty
method, so far as the troops are concerned
by laying pipes into the kitchens in the
cantonments, and we may fairly hope chat
this measure win have the effect Of lessen
ing the typhoid fever which is such curse
to our troops in India We must not, how
ever, be too sanguine, for the habits of the
natives are such as sometimes TO defy the
efforts OF the sanitarian Sul, the native
does after ell tend to do what comes the
easiest. and if the water is brought act
uaiiy into the kitchen pipes It is to be
pre- sumed that he viii use it, although the

TOO MODEST TO MARRY,
Why Pretty Cora Havens' Lover
Committed Suicide.
From the New York Journal.

+ rom lIle New Y OTk journal.
Columbia, No, July 21.-There will be
tomorrow two green mounds over the
graves of suicides because of pretty 49,
year-old Cora Haven's maiden bashful-
ness. This sounds almost incomprehensi-
Bile, but the truth is that because the girl
would not marry c. H. Fat he ended his
life, and for the same reason her mother
killed herself.
J. 2. Ravens is a wel-to-do farmer in
Boone county, and for more than a year
Fait, a neishboring farmer has been in
love with Cora. She acknowledged that
she loved him, but when he was near her
her lips were sealed, and when he kissed
her her face burned with bushes. She
had promised to marry him and meant to
keep that promise, but as the time for the
ceremony approached her bashfuness
grew apace. She looked forward to the
ceremony with dread. The idea of becom-
ing wife became awful to her.
Her parents demonstrated with her,
cOaXed her and threatened her, pointing
out the foolishness of her actions, but to
no avail. The protests and entreaties of
her lover and her parents counted for
naught. When demonstrated with she
generally burst into tears, ran from the
room locked herself in her own apart
ments ana sobbed as though her heart
would break.
AS the fateful day, July 5, dawned, she
stood between love and bashfulness. Bash
fUlness conquered. and when everything
was ready for the ceremony, the groom
dressed in his best and some of the we'd
ding guests present, She announced that
she could not become a wife. In vain did
all coax and talk with her She would not
recede from her position.
1t was too much for Fait He went to
his home, and, lying down after writing
several notes, swallowed large dose of
morphine, and when his friends sought
him they found him dead. Even this
tragedy did not bring the girl to a full
realiza lion of what she was responsible
for. She mourned for him as her sweet
heart but. so far as any one knows, she
did not regret that she had not married.
Her parents brooded over the action of
their daughter and the suicide of her low
er, her mother being the most distressed
of all. Mrs. Ravens was inconsolable.
This morning she slipped quietly from the
house, aud going 10 a muddy pool of wa
ter, near the house, she lay down, and
burying her face in its Shiny depths, slow
ly drowned herself.
A girls bashfulness had cost two lives.
