the principal battles. together with the
style of weapons used and the number of
killed to every 1,o00 of the combatants:

Adjutant General Corbin received a cable
message this morning from Judge Day.
president Of the American peace commits
sion at Paris. saying that his son, Rutber-
ford Corbin, is i'll with malaria and that
the attending physician has advised his
removal to St. Morit in Switzerland. Young
Corbin contracted the Cuban fever while
accompanying General Skaters army in
the Santiago campaign in the capacity OF
a newspaper correspondent and was sent
to the United States to recuperate. His
health improved for a time, but the fever
was still In his system and he suffered a
relapse After long rest he again showed
signs OF improvement and was sent to
Paris with the United States peace COM
mission in a clerical caracity. General Cor
bin Is very much discouraged to hear that
his son has again broken down and is sor-
ry that he is SO far from home. He has
replied to Judge Day to do what he deems
best In the matter, and the young man
will probably be sent to Switzerland in the
hope that the pure air of that country will
drive out the seemingly unconquera BILE
fever, which has wrecked the health of so
many of our brave soldiers.

In the discussion on Tuesday after

Candies criticised the Department and
said that he thought the item should
be investigated. He gave it as his
conviction that the Board felt called
upon, as long as there was any money
in the appropriation, to spend it. The
junketing trips should be stopped. 1t
looked as if when anyone come to the
Islands and wished to go TO the leper
settlement he was taken over there in
a steamer at Government expense. He
said that during the past period there
trips
The Acknowledgement briefly review
ed all the trips taken by members of
the Department at the expense Of the
Government and said that during
thelast period only two trips had been
made to the settlement outside the reg
ular visits of the Board. One of these
was for the benefit Of DR.. Thompson
and the Board considered that the
benefits were reciprocal as their guest
was we'll known authority on leprosy.
The Acknowledgement further said
that the Legislature could of course
cut down the appropriations but he
considered it neither a wise nor an
| intelligent thing to do. AS far as cri-
| ticism was concerned every official was
open to honest criticism but he con-
sidered street criticism worthless. The
item was then passed.
