The Army Medical Service.

As TO the exclusion of the Red Cross and
the general hostility as to its services, that
was probably the fault primarily of Surgeon
General Sternberg, who is very self-suffi-
Gent and Omniscient person. General SHAFT
ter was led by his assurances to adopt at
Tampa an attitude of exclusion toward the
Red Cross people, into which he put little
OF the spice OF his own arrogance: but when
at the front, he saw the mistake he had
been led TO make, he appeared TO be honest

who are very strict about patronymics. and
who prescribe severe penalties for the un-
lawful assumption of names, permitted both
the soi-disant dauphin and his sons and
grandsons to style themselves princes of

French royalists and even Republicans who
believe in the validity of his claims. No
one was more strongly convinced thereof
than the celebrated Republican statesman,
Jules Faures. who signed and concluded the
treaty of peace in 1881 with Prince Bis
marck at Versailles. AS long as Faures
lived he remained the legal adviser and
chief champion of those Dutch Bourbons.
The now imprisoned ex-lieutenant has
spent few years here in the role of a
pretender. He was imprudent enough to
venture upon a trip to The Hague couple
of weeks ago. and was also arrested as
deserter. His fate naturally causes much
rejoicing among the adherents of the Duke
of Orleans, who saw in him far more
serious rival of their leader than they were
willing to publicly admit.

LONG MARCH FOR HOLSTERS.
The 159th Indiana May Tramp to Mid
dletOwn. Pa, 14O Miles,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Second Di-
vision of the Second Army Corps, under
command of General Davis. is to continue
its march and eventually locate at Middle
town, Pa. The plan contemplated by Gen
Davis is to march his troops in a northeast
erly direction TO Leesburg Va. from there
to the Potomac and cross the river at Point
of Rocks and on to Frederick The next
prominent point the route is Emmitts-
burg, Nd. and from there the division will
pass through Hanover, York and Harris
burg on TO Middletown. The distance by
this route is about 140 miles and General
Davis expects TO average fourteen miles
each day.
The army wagons that started on the way
to Camp Alger yesterday to transport the
First Division to Thoroughfare Gap were
hastily ordered to return to-day. At Camp
Alger ii is said that the orders directing the
movements of the troops will be changed so
that the Second Division will remain at
Thoroughfare Gap and the First Division
go TO MiddletoWn. Pa. or that the Second
Division will proceed as ordered and the
First go to Seagirt; The continued rains
have put a stop to drills. The typhoid cpl
demic is now believed to be at an end only
five cases being reported at Camp Alger to-
day.
a special to the Star from Thoroughfare
Gap, Va. says that Judge Advocate Dudley,
last night to try Assistant Surgeon and
Captain Duncan, of the Twenty-second
Kansas Regiment, charged with desecrat-
ing the grave of a Confederate officer at
Bull Run.
The court of inquiry TO investigate the al

ROME, Aug. n.-Dr. Lapponi and all the
Vatican authorities confirm the statement
that the Pope's illness is slight. The doctor
did not stay the night at the Vatican. DIR.
Lapponi visited the Pope at o'clock this
morning.
BY Dr. Lapponi's advice the Pope re-
manned out of bed only four hours. In an
interview to-day the doctor explained that
the Pontiff was fatigued by the prepare
ton of his recent encyclical, but he hoped
the Pope would be up tomorrow all day
and that he would resume his audiences on
Saturday
1t is understood that the Pope's intestinal
trouble causes him great weakness, with
fainting fits, and despite the reassuring tone
of the official reports it is felt that the
whole truth is being concealed.

officers were instructed to arrange all pre-

1t will, perhaps, be ten days before any
of the regiments are ordered out 1t will be
decided in the meantime whether the troops
will be sent to these points by rail, or be
required to march the whole of the distance.
General Breckenridge is DESTROYS of having
the regiments march the whole of the way.
General McKee's division would have to
march only about 12O miles. while General
Sanger's division would be confronted by a
march of about 300 or $50 miles.
While, according to present plans, about
half the troops at this camp are to be re-
moved to the new camp grounds there is not
the least abatement in the plans inaugu-
rated to improve the sanitary conditions of
Camp Thomas. and to rid it of such fever
as exists among the soldiers. New hospitals
are being erected, lime is being scattered
throughout the camps and the regiments
are being provided with water boilers.
Major Griffin began this morning near Lyle

in size for all.
Governor Holcomb, of Nebraska, arrived

Russia May Invade India.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 11.-Folowing
in the footsteps of the Novosti, the Novoe
Vremya to-day eulogizes the Marquis of
Salisbury for 1.-The wisdom with which he
keeps in check the Russophobe outbursts of
members of his party and the prudence
with which he endeavors to obviate all pre-
text for a misunderstanding between Great
Britain and Russia" Continuing, the
Novoe Vremya says it observes that "un-
fortunately more than haIf the British pub
lie share Mr.. Chamberlains views" But
the Russian paper cannot understand why
the Russophobes are apprehensive of the
Russians at Port Arthur" The Novoe
Vremya then remarks: '"The results of the
cession to Russia of Port Arthur and Ia
Lien-Wan will not show themselves for
some time to. come. A considerable period
must elapse before these ports can serve
the purpose for which they were intended
by the Russian foreign policy-that of pro-
viding a permanent outlet in the Pacific
ocean. Quite otherwise is Russia's position
on the Indian frontier, where everything
has been long organized for military action
if some extreme excess of ill will on the
part of Great Britain should drive Russia
to such action"

Arrival of Rouxh Riders.

NEW YORK, Aug. n.-Colonel Roo sevelt's
Rough Riders, known in military parlance
as the First United States Volunteer Cav
airy, arrived in Jersey City last night on
their way to the camp of recuperation at
Montauk, L. 1. The troops number about
six hundred and are commanded by Mai.
George M. Dunn. They consist of Troops
C, H, L and N and squads of Troops E, F
and G. The first section was commanded by
Capt. George H. Curry. He said that the
troops under Major Dunn's command had
never been in Cuba Eight troops of the
regiment went to Santiago, he said. but
were obliged to leave their horses behind.
The four full troops, c, H, l. and N. and
squads of Troops E, F and G were left at
Tampa to guard and care for the horses.
There were few sick men in Major Dunn's
command, but they were able to leave and
not more than a dozen were left behind at
the hospital. Each section it arrived
was taken over to Bay Ridge on board ferry
boats. At Bay Ridge the men were sent on
a special train over the Long Island Rail-
