ru:e between Army officers.
The fear of typhoid still prevails in
Camp Alger, and Majors Parke and De-
vine. acting surgeons, have been inves-
tigating conditions tending to produce this
malady. One Of these surgeons said that
'one patient could put the whole camp
on it's back" The water supply is look
cd upon rs the principal source of dan
ger. Some of the wells are sunk to
depth of siXty-fve or seventy feet, but it
is said to be possible for the germ of ty-
phoid to reach that depth, owing to the
sandy nature of the soil.
The surgeons making this investiga-
ton say that if when their report is made
Chief Surgeon Girard persists ia holding
that the water is pure they Will forward
their report to the war department. Gen

New Submarine Torpedo.

r. Lee Fitzhugh, late of Lexington.
Ky, whose home is now in Baltimore,
has been in Lexington organizing stock
company for the manufacture of q sub
marine torpedo device for which he has
applied for patent. The plans and spe-
cifications have been submitted to experts
and the machine has been pronounced
wonder. Prof. Paul Anderson of the me
chanicnl department Of Kentucky state
College has examined it In the interest OF
the people who propose to invest in the
machine, and says it is Of perfect mechan-
ism. 1t is q thirteen-foot torpedo, when
is to be sunk into the water and can be
sent a distance of eight miles to whatever
object desired, being controlled by eiectrl-
cal attachments. Its inventor also claims
that it can be used to locate and destroy
mines in harbors and to transport mes
sages to and from ships through the wat
er. A practical demonstration has been
made with model one-fourth the propos-
cd size. Fitzhugh spent several years IN
the United States navy and was for yea re-
an expert in the Inventors Association
at Washington.

WHO PAYS THE WAR TAXI
Merchants Association Proposes 60
Go to Law on the Subject.

Ncrchants' Association froposSS "
Go to Law on the Subject.
The war tax law in it's entirety is IN
ror.a The schedules relating to beer and
+ohacco became operative June IA; the
thor schedules took effect July i. There
;s great scarcity of stamps. The gov
ern:nent. with all it's equipment, was aple
to furnish only Il fraction OF the supply
needed. There was demand for over
100000 stamps Of all classes at tue
New York Office ut the outset but appll-
cations were cut all along the line. Inc
banks were most favored, because stamps
will be sold at all banks, and the public
will thus have easier access to them.
The telegraph and express companies
will make customers pay the tax of l cent
each on kilograms and bills of lading by
compelling them to buy the stamp and
cancel it, The Merchants Association
has decided to fight the express companies
on this issue, and will probably appeal to
the courts if common carriers refuse to
give a receipt with the stamp tax duly
paid when a package is offered for ship
ment. A committee of the association i'll
each Of the large cities visited each eX-
press company to announce that mer-
chants would not pay the tax. The ex-
press companies replied that they had
been advised by counsel that they were
not obliged to pay it. The railroad COM
panies have practically agreed to pay
part Of this impost, and the lIerchants
association proposes TO bring the express
companies in line.
Under their contracts with the railroad
companies the express people are obliged
to pay certain percentage varying from
40 to 80 per cent. Of their gross receipts as
compensation for express facilities upon
the various reads. The adoption of the
first of these measures would therefore
have necessitated an increase in the rates
of the express companies to a sum nearly
double the amount Ct the tex. 1t was
therefore decided thar the most feasible
proposition was the adoption Of the rule
that only the exact amount of the tax
shall be collected. The shipper would be
required to pay this tax, plus the express
companies rates.

1t is reported that Captain General Ma
ehias Of Porto Rico has recently dlscoV-
cred a conspiracy which, had it not been
effectively and quickly checked, would
soon have had the jSland in a state of in
surrectim such as now exists in Cuba and
the Philippines. Eduardo Baselga and
Damian Castillo, both prominent native
Porto Ricans and the active leaders IN
the incipient insurrectiOn, have been ex-
ecuted and three others-AntoniO Catena,
Miguel Morayata and Jose Muro-afe IN
prison awaiting trial by the military court
which sentenced their two oompatrfOts
to death.
The conspiracy was discovered by the
Spanish postal authorities in the island
through q letter written by Castillo to
Baselga Gen. Macias was Informed OF
it and Il quiet investigation disclosed the
fact that number of the most prominent
residents of the city, native and foreign,
were involved. The headquarters Of the
conspirators were found, and also guam
tity Of dynamite. arms and provisions,
evidently intended for the equipment
of Il small force. It was the in
tention of the leaders after their plans
had been matured to publish as widely as
possible q proclamation. calling upon all
native and patriotic Porto Ricans who
held liberty dearer than life, TO Join them
and accomplish the overthrow Of the
Spanish Government and the death Of the
governor and his officials. 1t is believed
by many that the execution of Castillo
and Baselga instead of checking the in
surrection, will have the opposite effect.
The military guards around the palace
and the Government buildings have been
doubled, as it is believed that the con-
spirators intended to blow them up with
