Typhoid fever broke out on the Ari-
zona just as she was ready to sail for
Manila The promptness with which
typhoid has developed aboard causes
the very gravest apprehension among
the thousand men about to start on
seas.
General King is himself very sick
man. He is confined to his stateroom.
He has had fever, and while his con-
dtion is not considered serious, he is
suffering a great deal. The Arizona will
be held here until health conditions are
ibetter.
There are to-day nearly 500 patients
under treatment at the various United
States hospital camps. About 200 New
Workers are on the sick list. Still con-
ditfons are better.
| About 20 per cent of Camp Otis has
| been on sick report at time. One
| Nebraska company leaves behind it
here in the hospital twenty-three of it's
| best men. This is out of contingent
| of 106. Other companies are n the same
deplorable condition.
| Private McKuren, Company M, First

He was born in Kingston, N. Y, and
was in his 25th year. ! Thomas F. Len
non, Company A. of the First New

the 4th Of typhoid fever. He was a
native of West Stockbridge, Mass, aged
! % years. Corporal Oscar r. Wheeler,
| Company E, First New York, died on

! The appearance of a case of smallpox
| on quarantine island causes no alarm
| in town The Board of Health has a
/ thorough command Of the situation. DR..
| Day is treating the patient, and is also
directing a strict quarantine to prevent
the spread Of the DISEASE to other pa
tients or to the town. The case in
question is that of a Japanese who con-
tracted the disease from the man put
ashore at Yokohama.
| The Twentieth Kansas soldiers had
an opportunity to vote here before the
| Indiana sailed for Manila, The soldiers
voted as follows for the principal State
offices: For Governof:: w. E. Stan
| ley (R.) 352. John H. Leedy CD III.
| For Associate Justice-Wm. r. Smith
| 359, s. H. Allen Ia. The vote on the
rest of the ticket ran about the same.
All the Republican candidates for Con-
gress, with the exception of Reeder re-
ceived a majority. The count had not
been finished when the Indiana sailed,
and the result will have to be cabled
| from Manila. -
| Van Wyck is believed to have re-
ceived good majority of the votes
cast by the New York soldiers yester-
day. Each voter sealed his own ballot.
They will be sent to the Secretary of
State of New York, to be opened by
him and sent to the various counties to
| be counted with the local vote. For
this reason the votes we're not counted
here, and results are only estimated.
There were in all about $50 votes cast.
| OF these it is estimated that Roose-
welt got 200 and Van Wyck $50. Roose-
velts remarks about the volunteer S
lost him a great many votes among the
| soldiers. Only about 45 per cent. of the
soldiers voted. In fact, there was COM
paratively little interest shown in the
election.
