streets Of the hospital are crowded with tho
convalescent, who were left behind yesterday

Manassas. Two ambulances arrived at noon.
bearing the soldiers who had given out on the
march yesterday. Hospital Steward Hawkins
was In charge, and reports that o great number
Of the men dropped out on the road simply
from overeXertion In trying to keep up with
the moving column. which marched at a ter
rife pace. Very few men were sick. but one
death occurred last night from sunstroke. The
unfortunate soldier was Private John Hiland Of
Company /. Thirty-fourth Michigan. His body

CENSORSHIP ON THE LETTERS.

The Government Won't Allow Them to BE
Sent Abroad for Fear of tho Effect on Spain.
WARRINGTON. Aug. Tho publication Of the
letters addressed to Gen. Skater by the divi-
sion and brigade commanders of the Fifth
Army Corps and by Col. Roosevelt has caused
moro important and significant action than the
rebuke to Gen. Shafter for making the COM
munications public. President Mckinley and
Secretary Alger were indignant not only on
account Of the poor judgment OF tho COM
mander Of the Fifth Corps in permitting such
startling intelligence to go to the newspapers
in America, but on account Of the effect It
might have on the Spanish Government
in it's consideration Of the demands made by
the United States in the note concerning
Spain's peace overtures. Much anxiety was
expressed In official circles to-day that the
letters about the sanitary conditions Mt Santl-
ago would be cabled abroad and be brought to
the attention OF the Spanish Government. 1t
was said by n prominent official that Spain
might see In the communications reason why
she could safely decline to accede tothe Ameri-
can terms, as the letters addressed to Gen.
Shafter showed n condition among the Ameri-
can troops in and around Santiago that wa0
favorable to n continuance Of the war by Spain.
with practically all the United States land
forces wasted by sickness and unable to make
an offensive or defensive campaign.
In order to prevent the publication OF the two
letters abroad. the censorship over press de-
spatches to newspapers outside Of the United
States was reestablished to-day by direction OF
the War Department. It is hot known posi-
lively here. outside OF official circles. whether
the censorship applies to all press dispatches
relating to the war or only to the communica-
tions made public by Gen. Shafter. but the
understanding is that the Skater letters alone
are affected. The censorship on press matter
addressed to newspapers in foreign countries
was rigidly enforced during and prior to the
Santiago campaign. but was removed after the
surrender OF Gen. Toral.

AT JACKsoNT1LLES CAMP.
Battle Exercises Occupy the Soldiers of Two
of Lees Regiments.

of Ices Regiments.
Jacksonville. Fla. Aug. 4.-The First Bril-
gade had another battle exercise this morning
in the form of q reconnaissance in force. The
Second New Jersey and one battalion OF the
First New York was on one side and the Second
Illinois and two battalions Of the First New
York on the other side. The opposing forces
marched on parallel roads. which. curving at
the north end. formed a ~"
TIL Illinois force had about the same ground
occupied by the New Jersey force last week.
and 1t proved, as then. almost an impreRnable
position against an advancing force. In these
battle exercises movements are executed that
would not be possible under active service with
ball cartridge. Volleys are delivered with COM
panies standing that would DO annihilated in
active fighting. While no definite or decisive
conclusion can be reached as to who won. the
practice proves valuable in active service, as It
brings out the strong and weak points OF each
side.
The Second New Jersey. under Col. Hine. and
the Second Illinois. under Col. Moulton. did the
best work and were more systematic In their
deployments. The battle was umpIred by three
officers from each regiment. with Col. Armaeld
as chief umpire.

At ~FERNANDINA'S CAMP.

Second Cavalry Regulars Will Start To-Day
for the Camp at Montauk Point.
FERNANDISA. Fla. Aug. notwithstanding
the fact that the cavalry regiments that were
destined to camp at Fernandina have received
orders to go to Montauk Point, the Second
Regulars arrived to-day. but they were not I'M
loaded. and will probably get off sometime to-
morrow for their new camp. The Sixth Regu-
lar Cavalry. which arrived here yesterday. did
not get of last night. but got of to-day. and
the Third Regular Cavalry that arrived on
Tuesday are still in their camp. but are ex-
pecting orders hourly to pick up again and

The Second Alabama starts Tor Jackson
ville-The Sick of the Camp.
MIAMI. Fla. Aug. 4.-The Second Alabama
Regiment. commanded by Col. J. W. Cox, left
here in three sections to-day for Jacksonville.
Sixty-four members of the regiment remained
in tho division hospital. Nearly one hundred
men, who were being treated for various eli
matte sickness in their quarters, went with tho
regiment. The departing troops were the sub
jects OF a demonstration when they marched
through the camps Of the First Brigade. and
they counter cheered the First Alabama and
Second Texas. destined for Porto Rico.
The spirit of the troops hero has been greatly
revived through the prospect of activity and
change from the endless camp routine they
have known for three months. although sick
ness continues and nearly 400 patients are in
the division hospital. There were two deaths
yesterday, the victims being privates in the
Second Texas and Second Louisiana Regi-
ments. When the news that two of the regi-
mcnts here had been included in Gen. Wade's
corps reached Miami last night it was evident
that the enthusiasm of the military which
characterized the period following enlistment
had been only dormant. and the two regiments
affected by the department order turned out
EN- masse to cheer the announcement. The
First Alabama fairly went wild with %satiSfac-
ton, and taps had to be blown half nm hour
earlier, than usual to restore their camp to its
normal condition,

AttOrney-GenerRl Decides That Bounty 10
Not Paid for Merchantmen Destroyed.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-The Attorney General
has rendered an opinion virtually rejecting the
claim OF the officers and crew OF the United
States gunboat Hawk for prize money on ac-
count of the Hawks victory over the Spanish
steamship Alfonso XII. The Attorney General
holds that bounties are paid only when an
enemy's ship is captured or when the vessel
destroyed was a warship. There is no law au-
thonzing bounty to be paid where q merchant
vessel is destroyed. There is a chance. how
ever. that the Hawks men will get som prize
money. as it 10 reported that tho Alfonso XII.
was a regularly armored vessel OF the Spanish
auxiliary navy. II this can be proved a bounty
will probably be paid. The opinion affects the
notable destruction OF the Santo Domingo. a
Spanish merchant liner. by the Runboat Eagle.
Lieut.. W. II H., Switzerland. and the destruc-
tion OF several other merchantmen at Manza-
Milo and Nipe Bay.

to be the father and the grandfather of
healthy, capable children to hand down
his name ard the fortune accumulated by
the sweat of his brow, from generation to
generation. There never was a wife fit to
bear that noble title, who did not wish to
wear worlanhood's most glorious crown,
the sceptre of motherhood. Thousands
of welded couples, otherwise happy, fall
short of wedlocS's greatest happiness be-
cause they are childleSs. In the majority
of cases, this is because the wife, through
ignorance or neglect, suffers from weak

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-The War Department
has on its hands still another hospital ship
scandal. Information has reached the depart
ment that the condition OF affairs on the San
tlago, which has arrived at Egmont Key. Fla.
with sick and wounded on board. is fully as bad
as that Of the Seneca and Concho.
The Santiago arrived at the quarantine sta
ton, Egmont Key, several days ago, and since
then the sick soldiers have been kept aboard
ship. The vessel was last used for transport
ing the horses Of Gen. Randolph's artillery
brigade to Santiago. and was converted into a
huge stable for that purpose. After the ship
had discharged her cargo Gen, Shafter was in
great haste to send the Santiago back to Tampa
for use In transporting troops and supplies to
Porto Rico. 1t is reported unofficially to the
War Department that the Santiago was started
on the return trip without having been cleaned.
and that she was made TO carry about 200 sick
officers and men. The San Marcos left ERmont
Key to-day. with the conyalescents from the
transport Santiago and two other vessels on
board. bound for New York.

"As / walked through the fields where we

1t. While walking from the hill a good many
bullets whizzed by mo. and one especially

SECRETARY LONGS ENDLESS CHAIN
Dimes Pouring Into His Once to Build n

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-secretary Long has
become ontangled In the links of the endless
chain and is trying to get ont. Somebody
started out to secure enough money by private
subscription to build a battleship TO take tho
place Of the Maine through the endless chain
system. Each person involved was asked to
write letters to four other persons and to send
10 cents to the Secretary OF the Navy for the
battlcshipf fund. The dimes have been pour
ing In, and Mr.. Long has been getting more
and more embarrassed and annoyed. To-day
he prepared a circular letter telling the human
links of tho endless chain that he had no au-
thor!ty to receive money for such a purpose,
necessary. as Congress had provided for tho
construction Of a battleship to be called the
Maine. The dimes will be returned to their
donors.

IT is good to know that men have not
lost their reason or their reasonableness,
because often they make such fools OF
themselves, especially in politics. At

some eastern delegate made statement
rejecting on the conduct OF tho war.
Immediately. e. H. Bacon of Georgia, a
prominent democrat, sprang to his feet
and said: II fought in the rebel army,
and 1 never scratched the democratic
ticket in my life, but would feel that 1
had been a coward and afraid OF my
duty il I failed to resent that imputation
against the administration Of President
Mckinley. This is not the time nor the
place for any such insinuation as the

0ensral Miles Orders All Troops Now
There to Other Points.
CAMP WIKOFF, Sept. 12.-Under per-
emptory orders from General Miles,
preparations are being made to break up
this camp at once by sending home all
the soldiers here. This is entirely con.
trary to what has been the understand
ing Of the officers in command. Cen
eral Shafter said last week that 5000 or
1000 men would be kept here, at least un-
til October. and this was supposed to have
been the order of Secretary Alger. An
officer said today that when General
Miles order came, telegram was sent
him, saying that his order was contrary
to that of Secretary Alger, and Miles re-
Piled: "Never mind what Alger says. I
am in command now"
Orders were received from the war
department today ordering two regi-
ments of the United States regular
troops away from Camp Wikoff, Mon
tauk. They are the Twelfth infantry.
which ia ordered to Jefferson Barracks,
Missouri. and the Twenty second infan-
try, which goes to Fort Crook, Nebraska,
the station it occupied before going to
tho war. The Twelfth infantry was
formerly stationed at Fort Niobrara,
Nebraslks. 1t is hoped that all the reg
ular regiments will be away from Mon.
tauk by the end Of the week.

The school system OF Nebraska is too
important an institution to be placed in
the hands OF an incompetent man. The
future OF the state is being moulded
daily in the school room, and the Super
intendent OF Public Instructions must
be possessed OF two qualifications.
First, he must be an educator himself.
Second, he must be possessed of execu-
tive ability to enable him to SO conduct
educational affairs of the state as to
make the school system what it should
be, viz, the corner stone of the state.
That J. F. Saylor, the republican candi-
date, possesses these two qualifications
in the highest degree is not to be ques-
toned. Vote for him and you can rest
assured that the schools of Nebraska
will be placed in good hands.-Falls
