SICKNESS AMONG
 AMERICAN TROOPS
The Mays Arrival at Porto Rico S-r7 d.
 Was Timely.
CARRIED ME DlCAL SUPPLIES
Army Surgeons Most Anxious to Have at Their Disposition Money With Which to Buy Delicacies
 For the Sick.

Philadelphia, Pa., August 30.-The yacht May, which arrived in this city today from Porto Rico via Newport News, brought the report of the representatives of the na- tional relief commission, Ex-Minister to Italy William Potter, William Van Rensselaer,, Louis c. Vanuxem and Dr. G. c. Graff who went to Porto Rico to super intend the distribution of the supplies sent to the sick soldiers by the commission.
 The May, which was loaned to the gov- ernment by MT. Van Rensselaer,, left this city on August and reached Ponce Porto Rico, August Il. The report states that the commissioners reported to General iMles and were by him referred to Colonel Green leaf chief surgeon of the army in the field. Colonel Greenleaf ordered the seventy tons of medical supplies to be taken from the May and placed in the lower floor of the customs house, which is now being used as the headquarters of the army in Porto Rico.
 After giving details of the distribution of the supplies, the report says:
 "In almost every instance we found the army surgeons most anxious to have at of needed luxuries for the sick, such as fresh milk ice (when obtainable) and canned goods, and we are happy to report that in every case we have been able to meet the demands made upon us.
 ''There are about 16,OO0 American soldiers in Porto Rico, and on the day of our de- parture, August 22, there were over 1000 men on the sick list. Of this number one half were cases requiring prompt and care

MERRITT LEAVES MANILA.
Will Go to Paris to Advise With Ameri

Manila, Philippine Islands, August 3O.- The United States transport China left here today, having on board Major-General Mer- ritt and his staff. The general is bound for Paris, where he will take part in the Span- ish-American peace conference. Major General Otis is acting governor of Manila. Generals Green and Babcock, with their staffs, are bound for Washington.
 Opacfble, the insurgent leader, is going to Hong Kong in order to confer with the in- surgent junta there He will receive Agui- naldo's final instructions by cable.
 Agnoillo, another of the insurgent leaders Is going to Washington.
 It is not probable that the insurgent junta of Hong Kong will send delegate to the Paris peace conference.
 Aguinaldo remains at Bakor. Hundreds of unarmed insurgents visited Manila yes- terday. Rear Admiral Dewey has refused to permit the coastwise steamers to resume running. pending a settlement of the Philip pine question.
 General Rios the Spanish governor of the Vizcaya Islands, is reported to have proclaimed himself governor-general of the Spanish dominions in the Philippine Islands and to have invited the adherents of Spain to rally at IlOllO.

ful treatment. There was large number or typhoid cases, but on the 22d inst. this
 disease was not on the jncrease-a fact
 which indicates that the malady had been
 carried from the camps at home and is not
 indigenous to Porto Rico. However there
 was very large increase in diarrhoea, dys-
 entery, dengue or breakbone fever and ma
 larial disorders, due to the hot, unhealthy
 rainy season, just commencing, which
 causes the water supply to be filled with
 malarial germs from the constant decaying
 vegetation. All medical authorities in the
 army in Porto Rico agree that the sick list Is increasing, that an alarming condition may be expected unless the war depart ment promptly arranges barracks for the army of occupation and immediately pro- vides additional transports (the hospital ship Relief being insufficienD to remove such of the sick can be safely trans ferred home. It is impossible for men of the northern climate to recuperate in a tropical country during its most unhealth- ful season.
 ''In conclusion we are glad to report that we reached Porto Rico with our medical and hospital supplies just at the time when they were most needed, as owing to the lack of steam launches with which to un- load the vessels in the harbor and those hard aground on the coral reef, the medi- cal department could not secure it's SUD- plies promptly and our consignment had been most carefully selected, containing many useful articles not supplied in the hospital equipment of the United States army.
 we cabled to the national relief com mission on the 22d inst. to forward to Porto
 Rico a consignment of light groceries, such as condensed cream, cereals, canned soups, clam broth, etc.; also under cloth ing, all of which are much needed in the hospitals and not obtainable in the island" Attached to the report is letter from General Miles thanking the commissioners on behalf of the army for the supplies and for big consignment of American flags; also letter from Colonel Greenleaf, ex- pressing thanks for the gift of an ice-mak- ing machine in which he says:
 '1 cannot adequately express the satis- faction with which the results of this do- nation will be received by the sick. Ice in this country is an expensive luxury, cost $30 per ton in Porto Rfcan money, which
 necessitates the exercise of rigid economy
 on the part of our medical officers in its
 use. To have the output of such ma
 chine at our disposal is a blessing, the
 benefits of which can only be appreciated
 by those who have served in these hos
 pitals."

Georgia and the Stage
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 The south has furnished few first-rate actors. Edwin and John Wilkes Booth
 were Marylanders, and the younger Junius Brutus Booth was born in South Carolina, but with these exceptions what can Dixie Land boast of that is far above mediocity? Old Junius Brutus was born in England and driven out of London by disreputable be- havior at Covent Garden. Georgia intends to vindicate her record, as well as that of her sister states, by pressing forward Brock
 Beckwith, ex-collector of the port of Sa- vannah. She tried twenty years ago with
 Paul Bleckley, son of the chief justice of her supreme court; now she comes to the
 front with the son of her late bishop. If Brock is as good on the stage as his father
 was in the pulpit he will get along. The Cracker State'' has other representatives. Charles Seay, in the continuous, is a son of
 Rom4s wealthy steamboat owner. Lola Small, about to appear in the altogether or anything else that is striking, is a daughter of a preacher and ex-newspaper man, Sam Small, now chaplain in Manila regiment. She is much married and over it. A Webb girl from Atlanta, is also about to pale the footlights. Miriam Armstrong, who was Iza in 'The Clemenceau Case" Is the daughter of a most estimable clergyman She went
 on the stage against her will have been informed, and for the support of her fam fly. Ellie Germon came from-Augusta. Min nie Hauk, the singer, came from New Or leans, and Mark Smiths native place Is Mobile, Ala. Clara Louise Kellogg was a South Carolinian. Minnie Maddern is from New Orleans Stuart Robson was an An napolis boy. Frank Bangs is from Virginia. Oliver Doud Byron halls from Baltimore. Of course, all the world knows that our great genius of managers, MT. Augustin Daily, is ''Tar Heel!' of the stickiest kind. Are there other southrons? do not recall them in the haste of composition.

A Meeting of the Country Club.

The members of the Country club met Monday evening in the rooms of the Com mercial club and took the necessary steps to perfect the organization of the club, such as appointing committees on obtaining charter, constitution and bylaws, etc.
 The meeting was largely attended. The committee on invitation of members have lists which are rapidly filling up, and in few days it is expected that the limit will be reached.
 It is the clubs intention to make 1t a very inexpensive one. and the monthly dues are limited to very small sum. The club house will be thoroughly comfortable and we'll adapted to the clubs requirements, but will be on a modest and inexpensive plan. One of the most delightful features of this club is that ladies will be welcome at all times.
