The other side Of the Case.

The Army and Navy journals conclu-
sion that this war will 90 down into hsto-
~ as type of sklul medical treatment
Will probably be widely challenged; yet
doubtless that paper can cite many facts
to sustain its assertion. 1t says:
We are not able to give the statistics of
mortality, but judging by all that we have
seen that was authenticated by proper ofli-
GERS, we feel certain that the death rate has
been remarkably low in proportion either
to the sick men or to the number of men
encamped. The results Obtained are a tri-
umph of medical practice, and we say
practice rather than skill, because it i'm
plies professional devotion that is a de-
NAL of the stories We read so often of g-
norant, inattentive, over.dresseG and un-
derdone young doctors. The medical rec
Ords of this war will be much more credit
able than those of the last war, and the
improvement is not due to individual gen
ius, but to the elevation of the physicians
calling and skill all over the country.
Surgeon General Sternberg thinks the
deaths by sickness SO far will namber 1900,
which is the roll for about 80, 600 troops
encamped for four months. Considering
that these statistics include the sickness in
Cuba, the record is certainly very fayora-
bic.
Doubtless the impression that our army
has suffered losses from sickness greater
than those that were reasonably expected
is largely due to the 5ensationalism of the
press in one direction and its demagogicdl
suppression of facts In another. We have
Il. 81
graveyard at MOntauk in which, stretching
rank behind rank is an army OF
crosses, each marking grave until
the last is almost imperceptiole, in the
distance. Yet the facts are that
while there has been great amount of
sickness at Montauk only about one per
cent Of the cases treated have resulted in
death.
The demagogism Of the press consists
in its suppression of the fact that the filth
mess OF many Of the transports on their
arrival at Montauk was due to the filthy
habits Of certain elements Of the soldiers
on board them. The volunteers were the
worst offenders in this respect. They
were under no real discipline, and were al
lowed to do as they pleased The press
too often has represented the condition of
these transports as due to the indifference
of the authorities at Santiago TO the health
of the men, whereas some of these very
vessels left that port in admirable order.
They were converted into pest ships while
on the voyage, and at least one transport
captain veteran Of the merchant service,
has said that the volunteers he carried
were careless and filthy in their ways be-
yond any other human beings he ever en-
countered.

President Masso of the Cuban republic
has issued an address to the Cuban army
formally announcing the end of the long
struggle. Cuba, panoplied by feeling
of honor and the defence of right, was
aided in its weakness by the magnitude of
the necessary sacrifice, and went into the
struggle with the firm and serene resClu-
tion of one who faces death to conquer
death itself, seeking refuge in immortality.
The stubborn resistance had to result in
our complete destruction or triumph; and
as there remain Cubars in existence sue.

people "have continued their great work
of humanity and justice, sacrificing their
own peace, offering their own treasure and
giving their own noble blood, constituting
themselves the executors of the verdict by
which the empire of Spain is forever ex-
tingushed in the Antilles and Cuba be-
comes sovereign in the enjoyment of her
independence

TO GREET MIR. DAY.
Hundreds of People Went to the Com
gregatiOnaI Vestry Las, Evening,

Hundreds of People Went to the Con-
gregational Vestry Last Evening.
Hundreds of people took advantage of
the opportunity to meet Rev. C. o. Day at
the Congregational vestry last evening.
The meeting was too informal to be char
acterized as a reception. 1t was simply
The coming together of people of all de-
nominations throughout the town for
the purpose of manifesting their mutual
good will by pleasant greeting and a cor
dial shaking of hands, and Mr.. Day must
have been convinced more than ever of the
esteem in which he is held by the people OF
the town in which he has ministered for
the past Is years.
Notwithstanding the severe strain which
Mr.. Day has endured as chaplain of the
First Vermont regiment, his face had lost
none of its brightness and his grasp none
of its tirmness and cordality.
People began TO arrive about I o'clock
and from then until 10 o'clock was a very
busy period for Mr.. Day and for Judge
II. II. Wheeler, who stood beside him and
shared the hand-shaking throughout the
evening. Mr.. Day wore military uniform.
as did several members of company | who
were present.
Mrs. 81. H. Thompson, Mrs. C. B. Rice
ana MISS Pauline Fisk assisted in receiv-
ing the visitors. After greeting Mr.. Day
the visitors were served with hot coffee and
waters from tables presided over by Mrs.
G. c. Averil and Miss Kate Selleck.
Piano selections were rendered by Miss
Ruth Hunt while the receiving was in pro-
gress.
The vestry and parlors were tastefully
decorated with hydrangeas and asparagus,
| and the walls were decorated with large
American flags hanging in graceful folds.
The number of people who called at the
vestry during the evening cannot be accu-
ratey estimated, as they were coming and
going for nearly three hours.

James j. Hill of St. Paul, who is at the
head OF the Great Northern railroad and
large Chicago capitalists, including p. d..
Armour, have acquired an interest in the
Baltimore and Ohio road and will partici-
pate in its reorganization. The effect of
this movement must be to bring these two
properties closer together, and out of it
may grow a railroad from ocean to ocean
under a single management. The Great
Northern extends from the Pacific coast to
st. Paul and the Baltimore and Ohio from
the Atlantic to Chicago, and the acquisition
of the Wisconsin Central would join the
two into a continuous transcontinental
line.

The following is from the last number
of the Congregationalist: at is two
years since DR.. George Leon Walker of
Hartford was incapacitated for work by a
stroke of paralysis, which involved among
other disabilities, the loss OF his powers of
speech. He is still, however, in full pos
session of his mental faculties and is bear
ing his priVations and suffering with that
patient heroism which those who knew
him would expect him to exhibit. He has
had, we rejoice to say, a fairly comfort
able summer at his Brattleboro home and,
although his condition remains practically
unchanged, his courage is good. He has
been wheeled to church several times and
he takes a vital interest in what is going
on in the world. His son, Williston, and
he often talk over the sermons they hear,
the former interpreting his fathers opinion
by the latter's facial expression. We wish
we might publish some of these 'conversa-
tions."

1t is the present intention of the admin
istration to send to Cuba as garrison
force for the island about 10000 troops
in addition to the force at Santiago
under command of Gen. Lawton. Within
two weeks orders will be issued for the
movement to Cuba of the first 10000 of
the permanent garrison, and 1t is the ex'
pectaton now that they will sail from the
United States about October 10. These
troops will be followed quickly by others,
until the entire force of 10000 has been
established on the island.

Fair Haven Post Once Robbed.

The Fair Haven post-ofiice was burg
larized between and o'clock Tuesday
morning and about $50 in money and
stamps taken. The burglars entered by a
rear window, using carpenters tools which
were left near the window. The work
was that of professionals, as the safe door
was blown nearly across the Office and no
marks left to show where the explosive was
inserted. The robbery was not discovered
until o'clock, when the Office was opened
for the days business. Nothing in the
way of clew was left except the carpen-
ter's tools, which were stolen from car
riage shop on River street.

$40 worth of gold watch chains and cuff
buttons were taken, besides a small
amount of change.

Aguinaldo, the leader of the Philippine
rebels, has sent the American government
an assurance, through the Associated
Press, that all the stories Of strained rela
tions between his forces and the Ameri
cans are malicious slanders invented and
circulated by the Spaniards to prejudice
the appeal of the natives for complete re-
lease from Spanish rule. The rebel adds,
as a clincher, that 1--WE have withdrawn
our forces from the suburbs of Manila as
an additional evidence of our confidence

Instead of going back to her Pacific
coast station the battleship Oregon is to be
sent to Honolulu accompanied by the
Iowa, and it is well understood that from
there they will be sent to reinforce Dewey s
fleet at Manila. This will give Dewey the
strongest fleet in Eastern waters, save
only that of Great Britain Such fleet
is not needed to keep the insurgents in
order, and the only conclusion to be
reached for this action is that the admins
traton intends to insure the peace com
mission against any interference with their
work, and against any connivance on the
part of Spain to turn any of the islands
over TO European control. In other words,
and in plain English, it is a notification to
the young Emperor William to keep hands
off Another hint of the same kind is
found in the order this week for six more
regiments to be sent to Manila.

The..Man To DO IL.
From the Boston Record

Admiral Dewey knew best when he de-
clined the mission to Paris on the ground
that there was more important work to do
in the Philippines. Germany needed and
still needs close watching, and Dewey has
satisfied the country and himself that he is
the man to do it. With the Oregon and
Iowa at his back he can make "simple
declaration" sentences instead of interrOga-
tive ones.

Murder in Georgia.


A quarrel over the storage of some
grain which had Just been threshed ended
in murder in the little town of Georgia
Tuesday. Buzzel LedouX, SO, a French
Canadian farmer, man of excellent
reputation and some wealth, and Napo-
leon Manning, also a French Canadian
about Mr. LedOuN's age, clinched after an
exchange OF angry words. LedouX threw
his opponent and held him on the ground
some time, Manning being released when
he promised TO get OFF the premises in
two hours.
Manning walked off a few feet then
turned, drew a revolver from his pocket
and dared LedouX to touch him or put
him off the premises. Ledoux rushed
toward him and Manning fired twice
The first shot did not take effect but the
second struck LedouX just below the
heart. The man fell with a groan and
was dead in a moment.
Manning started to walk away, but he
was followed by Edward Bibbirs, one Of
the several farm hands who witnessed the
shooting Bibbins took him by the col
lar saying, "Come, Manning, you have
put your foot in it, so you might as well
90 back with me-" Manning was trem-
bling like leaf, and he made no resist
ance. He was taken to St. Adams and
locked up. He had on his person so in
bills some silver, and a Smith ~ Wesson
revolver of 81 calibre, with three cham
bers loaded, and empty shells in the other
two chambers. Manning claims that the
deed was done in self-dcfence. He says
that LedouX was trying to force him un-
der wagon, and that he intended to back
the horse over him,
LedouX leaves a wife, son and daughter,
Manning has made his home in Georgia
many years, but little is known about
him. He has never worked steadily and
has often gone away, presumably to Can
ada, remaining away several weeks or
months. He has posed as a cattle buyer

together which promises AN early solution
of the mystery of the dismembered v oman.
The positive identification of the girl as
