Priest Scores Secret Societies.

Milford, Mass, Aug. 29.-Father Cud-
dihy, whose G. years service ranks him
as the Oldest Catholic priest in the United
States spoke Sunday against the Irish
secret societies in sermon reviewing
the last century of Ireland's history, the
progress Of liberty in that country and
in Poland, and of education in the United
States.
Daniel O'Connell" said he, did more
for the emancipation of the Irish people
than all the physical force men put to-
gether. The young men here should
call their societies after O'Connell rather
than after Emmet, as he did more for
their forefathers. Whatever emanci-
patton Ireland got came from the time
O'COnnell got Catholic emancipation,
which gave representation for parlia-
ment, and through that other things fol-
lowed. Ireland is so situated that it
will be almost impossible to free it by
force. More rights can be got from
England by aggitatiOn than by force of
arms. The Catholics should discard
Wolfe Tone, discard Emmet, discard
Fitzgerald and such and adopt men like
O'Connell You will never gain any ad-
vantage by brute force or recourse to
arms.

Montauk Point, Aug. 30.-There were
two deaths Monday among the men sus-
pectcd of having yellow fever and de
tanned in the quarantine hospital The
medical department has not announced
that they died of yellow fever because
of the dispute between the doctors as to
what the 80 men in the hospital are suf-
fCring from. Some of the doctors assert
that it is true yellow fever; While others,
including the experts, claim that there
is not a yellow fever case in the camp,
and that the men are suffering from
malarial fever in its worst form.

Cleveland, Aug. 30-The train bearing
York regiment of volunteer infantry
reached Cleveland last night in charge
of Captain Lindhein, an assistant sur
geOn. There was a crowd of at least
1000 in waiting, including the ladies Of
the Cleveland war relief board with del
icacies and the members of the staffs
of nurses and physicians of the Union
street and Lakeside hospitals. The in
tention was to take any of the soldiers
who We're in a dangerous condition to
the hospitals. The ladies at once served
milk, chicken broth, eggnogg and food
to the sick men, the nurses washed some
of the bedridden boys and made them
more comfortable, and the doctors
passed through the train examining the
men.
The physicians found several typhoid
fever cases in which the temperature
had passed the danger point, and they
asked for permission to take the pa
tients to the hospitals. The tempera-
ture of one man was l05 degrees. Cap
tain Lindhein refused. The ladies added
their pleadings, as did Captain Tillson
of the army recruiting Office in this city.
who has been a regular army officer for
"a years. Lindhein positively refused
to let any of the soldiers go, however,
despite the stern warning that some of
the men would probably die on the train
within a few hours. The feeling of the
men on the train against Lindhein is
very bitter. A few of the sick soldiers
wandered through the cars delirious
from the effects of fever and the big
doses of quinine they had been given.

Washington, Aug. 3O.-The following
statement regarding the medical corps
of the army and the American National
Red Cross society was given out by
Surgeon General Sternberg Monday:
owing to the pressure Of my official
duties | have not heretofore felt justi-
fled in taking the time to make an eX-
PLANTATION with reference to my attitude
towards the American National Red
Cross. 1t has been repeatedly charged
in the newspapers that am hostile to
this organization ana have refused to
accept its assistance in the care of our
sick and wounded soldiers. and that,
as a result of this refusal there has been
unnecessary suffering. These charges
are without foundation. except in 50 far

male nurses with troops in the field en-

tive operations, but 50 soon as serious
sickness developed in our camps and il
became necessary to treat typhoid fever
cases in our field hospitals, gladly ac-

nurses for the division field hospitals.
and in our general hospitals We have
employed them from the first, The gen
charge of these hospitals has been that
their services have been OF great value.
Very many of these trained nurses have
been obtained through the kind assist

express my high appreciation of the
valuable service rendered to the medical
department of the army by this organ
