Declares He Did Not Refuse Red Cross
Aid-Tries to Shift Blame


WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-A statement
regarding the medical corps of the
army and the American National Red
Cross society was given out by Surgeon
General Sternberg yesterday. He said
in part:
''It has been repeatedly charged in
the newspapers that am hostile to this
society Red Cross society and have re-
fused to accept its assistance in the
care OF our sick and wounded soldiers
and that as result of this refusal there
has been unnecessary sufferidg
''These charges are without founda-
ton, except Ill SO far as l have objected
to the sending of female nurses with
troops i'll the field engaged in active
operations.
The surgeon general said he accepted
the female nurses in the divisional hos
pitfalls He further showed by letters
received that he had accepted the aid
of the Red Cross and other societies
and at one point said:
Furthermore the American National
Red Gross ;,ssociation has had full au-
thority 10 send agents and supplies to
all our camps since June 8, 1898, and If
there has leen suffering for want of
needed supplies they must share tie
responsibility with the medical depa t.
ment OF the army for such suffering"

peen pursued Dy the war department. IN
the conduct of the operations against
Santiago.
:. My cablegram to General Shafter. :
he continued, was simply due TO my
desire to assure him that ] intended to
be absolutely fair. Before his departure
from Washington, General Miles and
had talked the matter over and he
started for Cuba, knowing that he was
not in any way to interfere with the
operations which were under the con-
troll of General Shafter. That there
could be no doubt whatever, cabled to
General Shafter, informing him that
General Miles had left for Cuba with
instructions not TO in any manner super
sede him as commander of troops in the
field at Santiago de Cuba and, as | have
said, if my message prevented a battle
on the morning of the day the city sur
rendered, then am repaid thousand
fold.
In the interview referred to in the
opening of this article General Miles
was alleged to have charged General
Corbin with sending secret dispatch
to General Shafter, saying he (Miles)
was not to take command.
Also to have charged the war depart
ment with mutilating and even sup
pressing parts or the whole of certain
messages in their transmission to the
public, thus putting him and his rela-
tons to the army in false light to
the people at home.
Also to have charged that his recon-
mendations in regard to moving the
troops from Santiago was disregardeG,
this disregard leading to grave conse-
quences. He recites the fact that Gen
eral Shafter disobeyed orders in occu-
plying fever infected houses and allow
ing Cuban refugees to mix with the
American troops.
Also to have claimed that Washington
allowed the plans of his Porto Rico
campaign to leak out to such an extent
as to render them useless and danger

NOTES.


 Golf hose are cheaper and trouser guards are losing their pull dealers in cycle sundres say.
 Secretary Treasurer w. $. Bull of the New York division, is in favor of the eaugue cadet corps scheme of John F. Clark and will work with the originator of the amendment in favor of it's adop tion by the national assembly. It is pointed out that if 10 per cent. of the boys under eighteen, who will want to join the junior league succeed in in- ducing one of their parents to join the main body in order that the son may be eligible, the membership of the l.. A. w. will receive tremendous boom.
 A member of the National Cycle Board of Trade estimates that fully 20 per cent. of the makers in the United States will market chainless wheel of some kind this year.
 A Staten Island man is at work on a bicycle that will fiy-he thinks. As the bicycle has conquered roads, rivers and ice fields this rider believes'that a ma chine to traverse the air through pedal power is the next logical step.

SENATORIAL MUSCLE.

Senator Stewart of Nev. is as rugged of constitution and as brawny of sinew as any of his colleagues, and he takes as much pride in his physical strength as do younger athletes. The other day one of the junior senator's passing him by in the cloak room, called out by way of greeting: "Well. senator you're look ing mighty fine this morning"
 You may have meant that ironical- ly," said the silver Solon, but am feeling fine, and just to show you how fine feel I've a mind to toss you over my shoulders.
 "Nonsense." replied the younger sen- ator. You couldn't do It.
 Hardly were the words out of his mouth when Senator Stewart grasped him firmly about the body and lightly tossed him over his shoulder, much to the skeptic's astonishment The senator attributes his fine physical condition to the out-of-door life he has always led. In the early days in California he was of necessity much in the open, and since he came to Washington he has not allowed his legislative duties to inter- fere with his habit of life. The senator is an excellent pedestrian, he learned to ride the bicycle at an age when most men are getting ready to die, and almost any day he can be seen riding in Brewster buggy behind fast road ster, his white beard blown about by the wind and his jovial face looking out from beneath slouch hat, on the way to the farm which he owns in Mont gomery county.-W Washington letter to Chicago Tribune.

FLY-TIME STRATEGY.

Nowadays people in civilized regions endeavor to keep flies out of their houses by having screens placed over the doors and windows. This keeps out the greater number of the littls pests, but a few always manage to find an entrance through some crevice or terprising insects can cause about as much annoyance to bald-headed man during his after-dinner nap as the whole brood of them could do if turned loose in the room. In order to rid the house of the few flies who struggle past the screens, flytraps of various sorts are frequently resorted to: but it is now found that these are not necessary. This secret, which is bound to be boon to suffering humanity, has been divulg- ed by dealer in f1ytraps, who, when a customer called day or two since, was out of traps. In this emergency he imparted to his would-be customer the following recipe for keeping a house clear of flies:
 Near the tops of the screen doors and window screens punch several holes from the inside with some instrument about the size of a lead pencil, thus leaving slightly funnel-shaped aper- lures. This renders in impossible for the flies to enter through these holes, while the flies which have strayed into the house the first time they light on one of the screens crawl to the upper part, and, seeing these. holes, imagine there is some place where they are not wanted on the other side, and out they go Tn this manner said the fiytrap dealer. "a house can be kept perfectly free from flies. "--Morning Oregonian.
