A CRITICAL TIME.
During the Battle Of Santiago
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH NIGHT
AND DAY.

The Packers of the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba Were all Heroes. Their Heroic
Efforts in Getting Ammunition and Ra-
lions to the Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack train No. 3,
writing from Santiago, de Cuba, on
July %, says: "We all had diarrhea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see doc
tor for it was case of rush, and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
piled with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhea Remedy, we were
able to keep at work and keep our
health in fact, | sincerely believe that
at one critical time this medicine was
the indirect savior of our army, for if
the packers had been unable to work
there would have been no way of get
ting supplies to the front. There we're
no roads that wagon train could use.
My comrade and myself had the good
fortune to lay in supply of this medi
cine for our pack train before we left
Tampa, and | know in four cases it alb
solutely saved life."

ENCOURAGING Statements.

In his annual report just issued, Ma
tional Commissioner Of Education Har-
ris makes some encouraging state.
ments. Among them is the increase OF
over quarter of million pupils dur
ing the past year in excess OF the at
tendance during the previous one.
Other notable features in his report
are; that the total enrolment in ele-
mentary schools amounted to about tF-
teen and one-half million and the num-
Der of students in colleges, universi-
ties, academies and high schools was
ABOUT 100000 more; that, at the rate
observed in 1897, the total average OF
schooling per individual for the whole
United States amounts to very nearly
FIVE years Of 200 days each. and that
little over one-ffth of the entire popu-
lation attended school at some time
during the year Perhaps the most
noteworthy section in Commissioner
Harris report is that in which he
dwells upon the marked increase dur
ing the past few years in the number
of scientific and technical schools in
the country. In the six years, he says,
from 1890 to 1896 the number OF stu
dents in engineering and applied sci
ence increased from 1859 to 23,o9o.
This shows the wide-awake practical
sense prevalent among American pa
rents. They are equipping their chill
dreu to meet the multiplied demands
that are being made daily upon the
activities of our population in the field
Of material development. Twenty-Five
years ago parents. whenever able to
give their sons the benefit Of i college
training, had them educated to be
preachers. lawyers or doctors. Now
they are opening new avenues of in
struction in the higher mathematics,
in scientific farming in engineering
and in the wide and expanding field of
commerce.

ONLY SEVENTEEN KILLED.
American Naval Record Of Casualties
in the Recent War.

Seventeen sailors killed and 81 casu
alties all told was the total loss suffered
by the United States navy during the
war. The figures have just been COM
piled at the navy department.
In Dewey's great fight in Manila bay,
not man was killed and every one Of
the nine men wounded was able and did
return to duty. In the battle Of
July third off Santiago, one man was
killed and there were II casualties al
together In that fight also every one
of the wounded returned to duty. The
loss suffered in the attack upon the
forts at the entrance to Santiago by the
American feet June 22d was one sailor
killed and II men were wounded OF
ghom only seven were able to return to
duty. The heaviest loss Of the navy
was at Guantanamo, There were 22
casualties in that one hundred hour
fight and of the list six mariners were
killed. Of the sixteen wounded nine
returned to duty, three were invalided
from the service and four continue un-
der treatment. Next after Guantana-
mo. the battle with the forts and gun
boats off Cienfuegos caused the greatest
number of casualties. the list aggregat-
ing y with one man killed. Another
man died subsequently from wounds,
nine returned to duty and one continues
under treatment.
More fatal in It's results was the fierce
battle between the torpedo boat Wins
low and revenue cutter Hudson with the
Spanish land batteries and artillery
forces at Cardenas. Of the eight cas-
ualtics five were deaths though three
wounded men afterwards returned to
duty. In the bombardment OF San
Juan. the casualties numbered eight
with one man killed. One of the
wounded men was invalided home.
while six returned to duty.
There were four other casualties Oc-
curing in as many separate engage
ments. and that completes the list Of
naval losses. Of the 81 men wounded
in the war, 81 were returned to duty,
one died Of wounds, six were iavalided
from the service and six continue un-
der treatment. Considering results OBJ
tanned this list is said to be the most
remarkable in the naval history Of the
world.

Surplus Revenue.

The war taxes have yielded quite as
much revenue as the conservative cstl-
mates predicted. At the rate of re-
ceipts since these taxes went into ef-
feet they will yield at least Sl4f. o0O, ,oOt
year.
The $500. 900. 900 borrowed by the
government will give the treasure S3344.-
600. 900 this year from extraordinary
sources. 1t is believed that after all
the expenses of the war have been paid
there will be an unexpended balance Of
500, 900. 900 in the treasury. The war
has given most impressive illustra-
ton Of the financial power Of our gov
ernment. Nobody has felt the addi-
tional Federal taxation, which will
bring in $144. 600, 600 year and there
are many of the war taxes which should
be retained permanently. Ccrthinly the
new taxes on beer and tobacco should
be kept up. and there are some of the
stamp taxes which should be kept up.
We are. however, raising more revenue
than is needed for the legitimate ex-
penses of the government and how to
reduce taxation TO the properpoiut will
be the most important question that
congress will hive to consider 1T its next
session. By all means the reduction
should be emade in tariff taxation. There
are many of the neccsSarles OF HE
heavily taxed now which should be
free Of duty. and many others which
are made to pay an OUTRAGEOUS tarlf1.
