CaAKGES AGAINST SKATER.


The horrors on board the pest troop
ships that brought the wounded from
Santiago to New York. the failure to
provision the ships with fresh food and
water-the latter being putrid--are
laid at the door of Gen. Shafter by
medical men and officers of the expe-
dltlon who were interviewed and by
the Captain of the transport Concho,
which arrived almost floating char
nel-house and in a most horribly filthy
condition, the sick soldiers literally
wallowing in unspeakable filth.
Captain Risk says that three differ
ent times he told Gen. Shafter his
ships wa .er was putrid and had made
his crew sick, that it was absolutely
unfit for the sick soldiers. and he asked
permission to land at Kingston and
get a fresh supply and fresh food, and
three times Gen. Shafter peremptorily
refused and ordered him to sail direct
to New York.
A general investigation into this
matter has been ordered and the people
will suspend Judgment until the proper
authorities report officially
The charges against Gen. Shafter are
very grave, and these are not all that
are likely to be brought The charges
against him in connection with the hos
pital ships may be supplemented by
others rejecting on his arrangement
of the Santiago campaign.
1t is said that owing to his lack of
foresight, which left food, appliances
for the wounded and even his seige
guns on the ships, only the bluff that
fortunately resulted in the surrender
of the well-fortified Spanish in Santi-
ago saved the Americans from terrible
loss, if not actual rout. This fact is
said to be well known in Washington

Cadiz, July q, and is due at Santiago
August 8.
The American transports will sail
for New York as fast as they can be
comfortably embarked.
The rest at Montauk Point will pre-
pare these seasoned troops for the cam
paign against Havana, in which they
will probably take part. The first
transport left Santiago yesterday. The
movement is expected to be completed
by the 10th of the month. Five United
States volunteer regiments, immunes
have been ordered to Santiago for gar
rison duty; the first has already arriv-
cd, the others are being pushed forward
as rapidly as transportation can be fur
nished
Major General S. M D. Young, who
recently returned from Santiago, where
he was sticken with climatic fever, was
to-day ordered to take command of the
camp established at Montauk Point
L. 1 Brig. Gen. Randall, who was
yesterday ordered to duty at Montauk
Point, will assist Gen. Young in the
administration of affairs at that point

DIMES FLOWING IN.
An Endless Chain That is Causing An.
noyance to Secretary Long.

Washington, August 4.-Dimes have
been pouring into the Navy Depart
ment upon Secretary Long, contributed
by patriotic Americans who want to
build battleship to replace the Maine.
Somebody, the secretary does not
know whom, started an endless chain
to this end. and the secretary is doing
his best to break the chain. To such
of the contributors as gave their adj
dress he is returning the money with
a note informing them that he has no
authority under the law to receive it,
and that the object seems to be other
wise provided for, as Congress has spe-
officially appropriated money for the
construction of another battleship to
be known as the Maine.

A CALL.
PROGRESS OF THE SINGLE TAX.


In a recent statement Henry George,
Jr., describes the attitudes of the
English parties toward the principe
of taxing land values, and incident
ally gives evidence of the marked
progress of this theory in Great
Britain, which will be interesting
news to the majority of Americans,
who, never deeply or generally inter
ested in the subject, had come to be
lieve this plan of politico-sociai re-
form through the taxing power had
practically died with its author and
chief apostle, Mr.. Georges distir
guished father.
New Zealand has adopted this
scheme of single tax on land
values, which naturally tends to abol-
ish land speculation, force vacant
land in use, consequently reducing
land rents, and Mr.. George points
out that it was the only English
, speaking country in the world to cs.
Scape the otherwise universal depres-
~ the past few years This has
lied Australian colony of NewsSouth
Wales to put special tax on land
after a protracNdf political fight.
But it is in Great Britain and Ire
land the question has assumed its
greatest Importance. Mr. George
says:
Two hundred and sixty town councils
and other local authorities in Great Brit
ain, including those of the two greaattest
gow-have petitioned parliament for the
right to raise. local revenue from land
values. and this is supported by COM
mercial bodies and almost unanimously
by the trades unions which here are
much stronger than they are in the
United States So clear has this question
Instance, that in the County Council cleo
ton last March it became the chief cry,
and the vast influence OF sue, such great land
Bedford, combined with the threats of the
Tory government, was thrown solidly
against It. But the Liberal party eandi
were elected by an overwhelming ma
jority.
But nothing can be done by these
local bodies toward instituting the re-
form without the consent of parlia-
ment, which, therefore, has now be-
come the centre of the fight. The
Tories landlords pawty-stand
ont for "yested rights and the old
Wing element of the Liberal party is
likely to join them on the new issue.
It is to the Radicals and the masses
0f the Liberals that the single tax
advocates now look. The Liberal
,.arty has in many ways committed
ifsslf to the idea. Sir William Har-
court, the Liberal leader in the
House Of Commons. is in favor Of

lo~ers of these Liberal leaders n
parliament stand there Is nothing to
show, as tho question has not been
raised, although resolution IN 1895
passed the House, the Tories not dar-
ing to challenge division, THAT no
system of taxation can be equitable
unless it includes the direct assess
ment of the enhanced value OF land
due to the increase of population and
wealth and the growth of towns"
In the bye elections since 1895 the
Liberals have more than held their
own, which is looked upon by Mr..
George as a straw indicating healthy
growth of the single tax strength,
all the successful Liberal candidates
but two being in favor of the taxa
ton of land values. And as they were
elected with the understanding they
were to push the fight for that prin-
ciple it will be an important issue in
the next parliament.

AppIes as Medicine.
From the Family Doctor.

From the Family Doctor
Chemically, the apple is composed of veg
etable FIBER, albunen, sugar, gum, chloro-
phyli malic acid, gailic acid, lime and much
water Furthermore, the apple contains
larger percentage of phosphorus than any
other fruit or vegetable. This phosphorus
is admirably adapted for renewing the es-
sental nervous matter, lethicin, OF the
brain and spinal cord. 1t is perhaps for the
same reason, rudely understood, that old
Scandinavian traditions represent the apple
as the food of the gods, who, when they
felt themselves to be growing feeble and in
firm, resorted to this fruit for renewing
their powers of mind and body. Also the
acids of the apple are of great use for men
of sedentary habits whose lvers are slug
efsh in action. these acids serving to elm
mate from the body noXiouS matters, which
if retained would make the brain heavy
and dull, or bring about jaundice or skin
eruptions and other allied troubles. Some
such experience must have led TO our GUS
tom of taking apple sauce with roast pork,
rich goose, and like dishes. The malic acid
of ripe apples, either raw or cooked, Will
neutraliZe any excess of chalky matter en-
gendered by eating too much meat. 1t is
also fact that such fresh fruits as the ap-
pie, the pear and the plum. when taken
ripe and without sugar, diminish acidity
in the stomach rather than provoke 1t.
Their vegetable salts and juices are con-
yerted into alkaline carbonates, which tend
to counteract acdity. A ripe, raw apple is
one of the easiest vegetable substances for
the stomach to deal with, the whole process
of the digestion being completed in eighty
five minutes. Gerard found that the "pulpe
of roasted apples mixed in a wine quart of
faire water, and labored together until it
comes to be apples and ale-which We
call lambeswool-never faileth in certain
diseases of the raines, which myself hath
often proved, and gained thereby both
crownes and credit THE pairing of an
apple cut somewhat thick and the inside
whereof is laid to hot. burning, or running
eyes at night, when the party goes to bed
and is tied or bound to the same doth help
the trouble very speedily; and contrary to
expectation-an excellent secret"
