TROUBLE IN CHINA
An American Captain Shoots Is Self
Defense

SAN FRANCISCO Aug. 21.-News has
just reached the Orient that early In July
there was a battle between the rebels at
Wuchou and the imperial Chinese troops,
in which the former were victorious. Over
1900 of the troops were slain and their
bodies thrown into the river. The Dosing,
under Capt. Tholeman, was engaged 20
take about 1000 Chinese troops to the scene
Of the rebellion.
From the time the Dosing left Canton I'M
til she reached Wuchou, some 200 miles up
the river, Capt. Tholeman had trouble with
his crew. The Chinese sympathize with
the rebels. One, a comprador, began incit-
Ing them to mutiny and the captain alleges
that in self-defense he was compelled to
shoot the man. The comprador died from
his wounds the next day.
Capt. Tholeman was placed under arrest
and as soon as opportunity afforded was
sent down the river to Canton. On his
journey he was confined in an iron cage
and on arrival was placed in the British
jail
On account of the claim Of American cit
izenship made by Tholeanan there is BIT
ter feeling against all Ameicans In that
district and further trouble Is feared.

many and Dr. Verneuil OF France. His

A Guthrie (Mo.) boy began his letter homo

Not a. few Of the First Kentucky men in
camp at Chickamauga have profited hand
eomely by plying their vocations. Private
Lucas Seifker, the pugilist is a barber.
Last pay day he collected from the regi-
ment over $3.50. Private Becker, a sad
dler. has made 500 or more in repairing
leggings.
A Kentucky volunteer, Private Sam Tu-
dor, of Company L, Second regiment, has
started day school at Chickamauga for
the instruction Of those Of his comrades
who cannot read or write and who do not
understand arithmetic. Tudor has about
twenty pupils. and new applications are
being filed every day.
One of the odd ways Of making money Al
Chickamauga has been by tattooing the
soldiers. The tattooing artist reach
ed the camp Of the First Mis-
souri, and In two days carried
away $17o from the regiment. He charged
from rs to SO cents for set of initials in
closed with fancy scroll. Both officers
and men patronized him literally, and
some of the 'spread-eagle," flag and
other patriotic designs are quite artistic.

The surgeon general has had the fore
most work Of fitting up hospitals, organic
ing the medical corps, employing male and
female nurses, contract surgeons (being
surgeons who are employed from civil life),
besides those commissioned as corps, divis-
lon and brigade surgeons; furnishing med
lcal supplies and answering the demands
from all over the country and at camps at
Santiago, Porto Rico and Manila. The work
done in this line Is almost beyond compre-
hension.
The commissary general had purchased
and distributed up to August 1st no, 245
pounds of rations, which have been trans
ported and distributed to all armies in the
field here and at Santiago, Porto Rico and
Manila. besides the large quantity distrib-
uted among the destitute Cubans.

his work in the way of transportation to

Of clothing and camp equipments distrib-
utted to the army by the quartermaster's
department has been 6,274.4S6, Of which
can mention few articles, as follows:
Blankets, 2sS. 7Ss; blouses, 2ss. 1872; trousers.

tributed daily to the army is approxi-
mately 800 tons. Added to this is the large
fleet Of transports chartered and pur-
chased an dthe management of the same

Gen. Merritt has proclaimed a govern

feared that the Americans may restore the
Philippines to Spain and thus reinaugurats
fresh period Of tyranny, extortion and

vision. The Americans found $500, 900 in the

Republics and Military Power

The dread Of military power in repub-
lie is very common and 1t is very proper.
But the danger Is not from a well-organized
army, capable Of carrying on effective war
and devoted solely to that end, SO much
as from the mixing up OF military and
civil affairs In an amateur military ad-
ministration that destroys both warlike
efficiency and civilefreedom. An army OF
government employees engaged in politics
are real menace to popular liberty and
80 would be the war department in poll
tics. But one is no more necessary than the
other, and II there is any lesson distinctly
to be drawn from this war 1t is that we
have no firmer example Of unselfish patriot
ism, no stronger protection for liberty and
law than the army and navy OF the repub-
Times.
