bags in camp. I asked them why they
did not fill the bags with straw, of
which there was a large quantity in
camp, and so make beds for them
selves. They said they had not
thought of such thing"
The secretary was asked again: You
cannot see that there is justification
in. the complaints which have been
made?"
None" he replied IF there was
any lack of medicines or necessary
supplies the blame would be on those
whose duty it was to order these
things. The first day 1 went through
the detention hospital and later the
general hospital and 1 talked with
nearly every man who was awake.
said to them all: Boys, is there any
thing you want?' They all answered:
Nothing; we are quite comfortable.
A few of the men had no cots. but this
was soon remedied. There are some
few sick men, but there is no yellow
fever. There is some typhoid. 1 saw
some men there as yellow as any paint
you ever saw. and nothing remained
of them but skin and bones"
Talking of the Chickamauga camp,
Secretary Alger said affairs were not
in perfect condition there, but to the
best of his knowledge, he said, the
only men now there are those who are
too i'll to be moved.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Dr. Wyman,
surgeon general of the marine hospital
service, has received official informa-
ton that case of suspected yellow
fever exists at the artillery post at
Fort Point, near Galveston, Tex. A
difference of opinion as to whether the

hospital surgeon believing that it is,
while the Galveston health officer takes
a contrary view.
A telegram from the Dry Tortugas

there from Havana, has four suspicious
cases of yellow fever on board The

Private Hudson.

Private Hudson, who had been en-
gagged in mining at Mercur, enlisted at
that camp ON May .. He came to
Utah from Oregon, and was the son
OF DR.. and Mrs. NJ. Hudson, who re-
side at Baker City. He was IS years
OF age, single man and very popular
at Mercur. He was not we'll known
in Salt Lake, except among his fellow
volunteers. While at Fort Douglas he
displayed much enthusiasm and was
eager to depart for the front
On May II. he wrote from Fort
Douglas to his sister Mrs Arthur
Philbrick of Baker City, as follows:
Dear Sister May: l have been mus
tered into the United States army, be-
ing one of the eight volunteers out Of
thirty-Odd that was called and was
accepted from Mercur We are re-
ceiving our equipments today and will
start for San Francisco within the
next day or so. Our destination from
there will be the Philippine islands.
Our enlistment is for two years, and if
am able TO dodge those Spanish bull
lets in the meantime, 1 will be playing
in great luck, but in the game of war
we must put our trust in the Lord
and play for general results, trusting
that l will be able to answer to the
last roll call. 1 have had two photos
mailed from Mercur, one to you and
one to Nat, showing the eight of us
the day we left there. You may dis
cover me on the right, and as it was &
case of cry or look mad 1 chose the
latter. We had a royal send-off and
there were few dry eyes that day in
Mercur.
GEORGE H. HUDSON"
Governor Wells, Adjutant General
c. s. Burton and others who had met
the deceased, expressed their regrets
at the unfortunate affair yesterday.

Louis convention in 1896 to favor the
free coinage of silver by international
agreement with the leading commercial
nations of the world, and called to
power on that solemn pledge, through
its present administration formulated
and sent to congress a bill thoroughly
committing the country to the gold
standard, retiring the greenbacks and
turning the control of the nations cur

I'VE denounce the Republican party
for its failure to keep the solemn
pledge made in its last national con-
vention, to urge the passage by con-
gress Of the satisfactory free home-
stead measure.
I'VE extend to the women voters of
Idaho the right hand of fellowship,
and congratulate our commonwealth
on the advance which they have made
towards a higher civilization in con-
ferring upon women the political equal
ity which has been heretofore SO
wrongfully withheld from them.
I'VE congratulate the state on the
economical, business-like management
that has prevailed under the present
state and county governments, and we
pledge the Democratic party of the
state of Idaho to a continuation of a
clean and economic government.
We demand such legislation as will
prevent the live stock of non-residents
pasturing upon the lands of Idaho
without contributing equally with her
own citizens in the burdens of taxa
ton.

clare ourselves in favor of the salary

our products at least one-haIf."

SURGEON GENERALS DEFENSE.
Says He Does Not Object to Trained
Female Nurses.

New York, Aug. 26.-The following
letter from Surgeon General Sternberg
was received today by Stephen E. Bar
ton of the Red Cross:
Your letter of August 2, enclosing
a letter from Rev. Alex Kent. has been
referred to me. 1 shall refer it to the
chief surgeon at Jacksonville.
THE closing paragraph of MIR.
Kent'S letter, to which you call special
attention. is as follows: Reports this
morning reveal a startling mortality
among the tyohoids, Is in the last q
hours IN the Second division alone.
Most of these. in my judgment, are
due to the want of proper nursing. In
the first place. the number OF nurses
is insufficient and their hours are too
long. In the second place, most of them
are not skilled nurses: they are hav-
ing their first experience in the care
of tyDhoids. Effort has been made to
remedy this. but the only way it can
be remedied is one contrary to the view
of the surgeon general, and one, there
fore, which his subordinates do not
feel at liberty to take. The Red Cross
has on several occasions offered to fur
niSh skilled nurses at it's own expense,
but has met uniformly with the reOly.
We are abundantly supplied with such
nurses now Since that reply was
llie1uC ~ NIL SODOs llONGNGIB Tic
geon in chief has dispatched a gentle
man to New York to secure $50 nurses,
but the opposition to female nurses
continues. and as no adequate supply
of trained male nurses can be found,
our boys must continue to die for want
of intelligent, Slsillful nurses
Mr.. Kent is laboring under a mis-
apprehension with reference to my
views. 1 have never objected to send
ing trained female nurses to our gen.
eral hospitals or to field hospitals in
which typhoid fever cases are treated.
We have now more than 500 trained fe-
male nurses. The health of the COM
mand at Jacksonville has been reported
to me as excellent until very recently,
when 7 understand a considerable
number of typhoid fever cases have de-
YelOped."

Significance of the Extension From

San Francisco, Aug. 27.-The Oregon
Short Line will extend its Milford

they ordered him to throw uD his
hands. Two of them jumped down,
one taking the horses of Houtz by the
bride, while the other held a revolver

up his hands Houtz at first refused
and he was called upon a second time,
with the advice to do so or he would
have his head blown off, and Houtz
then complied. The robbers were I'M

HOW IT OCCURRED.

The account of the affair is as fol-
lows:
Manila, Aug. 26.-On Wednesday a
corporal and two men of battery 3,
of the Utah artillery, after disembark-
ing at Cavite, were sent on an errand.
While passing through the streets
Private Hudson discharged his re-
volver. 1t was all mere fun, but the
natives in the immediate locality were
much alarmed for the time.
The natives Immediately began
firing.
Dismounted cavalry We're sent to
quell the disturbance, but the natives
misunderstood the movement and the
hiring became general. Hudson was
killed and Corporal Anderson mOrtally
wounded.
Troopers Layton, Nachbar. Connolly
and Doyle of the Fourth cavalry were
wounded. Four natives were killed
and several wounded. General
Aguinaldo has expressed his regret at
this encounter and promises to punish
the offenders.
No further trouble is expected.

the quarter-nile race originally scheduled
for the Coliseum track, the transfer Of
which was sought for this city. The nego-
tiations toward accomplishing this were
broken off by the formation of the new
union. The crack riders were not willing
TO ride in the sixty-point race at Bati-
more for Quarter-mile race, and that
event has been offered to Washington for
next Wednesday. The chairman of the
league racing board never officially sane
toned the transfer, and as a result the
quarter-mi!e national championship will be
creased scoring points. If the league Ge-
cides to continue its circuit it will probably
continue the same system of scoring.
in the American Cyclists Union the same
system of scoring has been adopted and il
has been decided to finish the season on
the original lines. At every circuit race
to be held by the organization a national
championship race win be held, and the
points made will be added to the present
score of all of the men. 1t might come TO
pass that the league will name a champion
for the year, while the new union will do
likewise. This will mean practically two
men Tor champion, though every one ac-
qualnted with cycle racing will know that
the man crowned by the new union will
really be entitled to the honor not so much
on account of his being a member of the
organization, but because he would be by
lar the speedieSt rider. All of the crack
riders are in the movement and had tbsv
remained under the league rules one or the
otner would certainly win the champion
snip, and not some rider who stands AWAY
