days preceding the county convention
Care must be had to follow closely each
provision OF our election law relating to
conventions and in certifying delegates
so that in the event of dispute or CON
tests the proper evidence can be laid be-
fore the committee. II is suggested
chat the ames Of all persons participant
ing in each precinct caucus be taken
down and transmitted by the caucus
officers to the county committee, and
that Che same be tabulated, the post
Office address be appended thereto and
sent to the state committee. If this
plan is followed in all the counties we
would have a preliminary poll of the
state and the committees work would
be greatly enhanced, as we could quick
ly and surely send literature and COM
munications to the voters.
It involves soNle work, but if the
county committees will push vigorously
it will be easily accoH .,lished, and be Of
very great value t. both county and
state committees in the coming CAM
pajgn. The state committee is specially
interested in reaching the voters and as

The idea that a big nation like the

anti-annexationists squirm.

SWEPT AWAY AN ISLAND.

Score of People Perishes.

Savannah. Ga. Oct. 5.-CSmplete de-
tails from Brunswick and surrounding
oourgry are. impossible, because of the
prosfratioz of the telegraph and tele-
phone systems. Campbell island, twelve
miles from Darien, on the Altahamra
river, is said to be completely swept
away, and only three persons succeeded
in getting of the island. There is no
definite information as to the popuHa-
tlon of the island and estimates of the
number supposed to have perished there
range from twenty to fifty. The popu-
LatIoH was made up wholly of ceIored
truck growers.
Four deaths are now reported from
Brunswick. The damage TO property
there is estimated at s5Oo.oOo. News from

Dy water. but unfort0hafely there was
a contract with the railroad company
owning The land which gave it the con-
troll Of all transportation except that
on government transports. This con-
tract had been made, he understood, in
return for the use OF the land. He did
not know who had made the contract.
There were good hospitals erected, but
scarcity or nurses. He Immediately
wired for nurses and within five or six
days there was an abundance.
The hospital tents were, he said, all
Hoored. The patients were laid upon
mattresses on the floor and were sup
piled with clean linen. From first TO
last 10000 patients entered the hospitals
at Montauk. The hospital had, when he
landed, a capacity of not TO exceed 500,
and SO far as he knew the hospital had up
to this time been equal to the demands
upon it. over 3.252 Of the Santiago troops
had been reported sick on arrivaa- but
many others OF the arrivals were really
sick Visiting ladies had made frequent
complaints TO him of specific cases, in
which sick men were not properly cared
for but hs found upon investigation in
each casa that the physicians said the
ladies' Ver9 mistaken.
As a rule when the parents or other
relatives came to visit the soldiers they
expressed satisfaction at the care the
men were given He knew of no com
plants from relatives. General Wheel
er explained that sac reason there was
so much complaint about the burials
was that the burial ground was so near
and so plainly in view. Only 26o of the
mE had died in the ex4steuce of the
camp. Upon the whole. he thought the
fact that there had been no spread of
yellow fever from the camp was quite
marvellous One of the greatest Siffi-
culties he had encountered was to
pf"perIy control the removal Of sick SOL
diers by their relatives in cases where
sympathy and affection often acted iR-
stead of discretion General Wheeler
considered the hospital facilities ample
after the erection Of the division hos
pJals. There We're times when they
we're crowded for a day or two.

CHARGES OF THE woRLD.
Why an Isolated Place Was Chosen for the
Detention Camp.

Why an Isolated Place Was Chosen for the
Detention Camp.
Taking up charges made by the New
York World and by DR.. Jenkins in its
columns Gen. Wheeler said that if the
soldiers had not been landed at some
Isolated PLACE, such as Montauk Point,
the fear OF yellow fever would have
caused a general outcry. 1t would have
been cruel TO send the men home within
five days after landing. as DR.. Jenkins
had suggested. Many Of them were
sick men and needed attention in the
hospitals. They would have IA len sick
on the trains and attracted general at
tension to the situation. The distress
was due to the condition of the men.
and not TO the topogra phical or climatic
conditions Ninety per cent. had the
fever in them, and the officers suffered
as much as the men. AIontauk Point. he
thought IN brief. was a necessity for
quarantine purposes - to prevent the
spread of fear, If for no other purpose.
Replying TO other allegations made by
The World Gensral Wheeler said he did
not think the hospitals were crowded:
that If the sick were without blankets
or adequate shelter he had rot known
the fact, and if he had known such a
want he would have supplied il. There
case in which he had teleg-aphsd to
New York fer four car loads of medicine
and il had arrived on the evening OF
the next day. He had read to the regu-
lar soldiers the assertion that they had
been in an almost starving condition.
and they laughed at the report. The
men asserted that the only trouble was
that they had too much; and as mat
ter Of fact no soldiers had ever been so
well supplied.
General Wheeler said it was true
some of the employees had used articles
intended for the sick. and he had been
told by some ladies that physicians had
used some OF the articles. including
apollinaris water, provided for the hos
pitals- He had issued az order for the
arrest Of those engaged in such a ppac-
tice- There We're" he said. "undoubt-
edly individual cases of suffering and OF

PaDa, IIls.. Oct. THE miners strike
Situation was more strained last night
and the excitement higher than at any
time since the white coal diggers laid
down their picks the 1st OF last April.
Detachments of state troops were pa
trolling the streets, and the town had q
more military appe~ranoce even than
was had here during the memorable
strike OF 1894. when Chicago's First reg
imsnt was IN charge. Last evening an
other train load Of negroes arrived from
Birmingham, Ala. whe are to supplant
miners in the Pana mine. the only one
as yet not in operation. a large force OF
deputies was in the Illinois Central
yards to protect the blacks. and Cap
tain Craig had detachment OF nElitary
near the yards to interfere in case of
an outbreak.
Militia Prevented Interference.
The presence of the militia acted as
a hinderaROe to the miners soliciting
nesroeS to refGse to land. The special
train which brought the negroes was in
charge of Engineer Joseph Taylor and
Conductor Jesse Williams. who steered
the train which brought the first con-
signnent of negroes to Pana more than
a month ago. On the train were ten
Pinkerton detectives armed with Win
chesters, in charge of Chief Kieff. the |
officials fearing a hold-up. TraiRmaster |
Clark and Superintendent ]. w. Hig-
gins, OF the Illinois Central. were also |
on board Hardly moments stop was |
made at the Union station. the train |
being run up TO Springside barracks, |
outside the city limits, where the blacks |
were unloaded.
Negroes March Through the Streets.
Soon afterwards they were marched |
in single file through the business streets
to Penwell mine, making quite a dem
onstration as they marched through the
streets, which were filed with union
miners, who made no Interference what
ever. At Penwell barracks the negroes
were quartered and a portion of them
were put to work this morning at the
Pana Coal company's mine and part at
the Penwell.
