For some time he had suffered from
kidney and bladder troubles but in ap-
pearance he was vigorous and. though
more than 81 years of age, 1t was pre-
dicted that he would live to pass the
century mark
A few months ago he showed signs Of
weakness and in July came to this city

seemed benefited by the change of cli-
mate and at a dinner given in his honor

The movement i'm favor of a revision
of the Dreyfus case is growing stronger

WHAT KILLED THEM.
Figures to Number of Soldiers Killed
and Those Dying From Disease

Chicago, Sept. 2.-The Tribune this
morning prints statistics showing the
number of soldiers who have been killed
in battle and have died Of disease in
camps during the war with SPAIN The
Tribune says:
While $50 officers and men have been
killed in battle or died of wounds re-
ceived there have died of disease in
camp between 1.20O and 1000 volunteers
and regulars The Tribune has secured
the names of 1,2S4 who died in camps
and on transports, or at home after
contracting malarial fever at one of the
camps. There is no doubt about the
1,2S4 whose names have been secured
Neither is there much doubt that there
are hundreds of dead whose names could
not be secured on account Of the absence
of the records and the inability or un-
Willingness of army officers to furnish
lists of the dead
The Tribune gives the following stat
istics of dead in each camp, giving i'm
every instance a full list of names and
the nature of the disease. The record by
camps is as follows:
Camp Thomas, 352; Santiago. BAL. San
Francisco, IS; Camp Alger, as; Camp
Wikoff, So; Jacksonville. so; Tampa, IS:
Miami, 76 Fernandina, Lakeland, Camp
Meade and other minor camps, i'm pri-
vate hospitals. etc. 115; state camps, &c.
transports and hospital ships, so; total,
1854.
Deaths are attributed to the following
causes: Typhoid, 5l5; yellow fever, 81;
dysentery So; meningitis, AZ: malaria
81; pneumonia, 81: causes reported as
fever, log; miscellaneous ailments or
diagnosis not reported, 327.

among the troops comes from the vol
unteer ranks. The places for the loca-
ton OF the camps were selected because
OF their availability and the general eli
matte conditions. Regular troops have
been camped by the side Of the volun-
teers and no sickness among them. /
do not wonder that the death rate has
been high in some instances. Several
times ] visited Camp Alger and looked
carefully over the place. At the end
of the camp | found banana stands and
places where beer and pop and such
stun were sold to the troops. This kind
OF stun never helped the volunteers.
Look at the task which has been
performed by the administration At
the outbreak Of the war there was pro-
vision for but $4,000 men. | am ac-
quainted personally with the heads OF
the war department and am positive
they worked from l6 to Is hours each
day to equip and arm this great army
Of 2I5,00O or 300. 600 men, The whole
affair seems marvellous to me and could
not have been accomplished by any
other nation in the world The war
department had a most stupendous task
before it, and IL was equal to the emer-
gency.

Passenger Rates Tumble.

San Francisco, Sept 2.-Passenger rates
over the transcontinental lines have taken
another tumble General Passenger Agent
II. II. Goodman of the Southern Pacific
has received information that beginning
on Monday all the lines except the North
western will quote a greatly reduced rate
from the Missouri river to Chicago. First
class travel has been affected a IS well as
the second class, through rates to go into
effect being 81 and s. respectively. Here
tofore the rate was $l2. The cut will affect
traffic from San Francisco eastward to
the extent that the new schedule will be
taken as basing rate. Hence the price
of tickets to New York and intermediary
points will be materially lessened.
