Thinks Uniforms VIII Save Lives.

Boston. June Ex-Governor Wolcott
has received a letter from Lieutenant
Colonel E. w. M. Bailey Of the Eighth
regiment, dated from Camp Thomas.
In it Lieutenant Colonel Bailey speaks
approvingly Of the plan for increasing
the strength of the regiment to war
footing, as it would double the real mill
tary strength of the command, since
about one-half of the present strength
of the regiment Is used up In admins
trative details and sick men. Continu-
ing, the writer says:
ut is particularly pleasing to say
that the health of the regiment is al
ready greatly improved and Is mendne
rapidly Our rations are much i'm
proved, as we are getting fresh meat ev
cry day and the cooks are handling it
better.
The brown canvas uniform is at
present the best part of our equipment.
I sincerely hope that the new recruits
will be equipped with them before com
ing south. When we go into action this
clothing will surely save many lives on
account of its color, as we'll as of its
light weight. 1t Is almost impossible to
distinguish men sufficiently we'll to get
q good sight of them ct 800 yards or
more if they observe the instructions
regarding the take cover"

STRICT QUARANTINE.


Washington, June 13-Reports re-
ceived by Surgeon General Wyman in
dictate that energetic measures are be-
ing resorted to by the representatives of
the marine hospital service at McHenry
to stamp out yellow fever at that place
and to prevent it's spread. Surgeon Muir
ray reports that guard of % men has
been placed around the town, and Sur
geon Carter states that q house to house
inspection is being conducted on the line
Of the Gulf and Ship Island rail-
road in order to make sure that there
are no cases outside of McHenry. No
outside cases have been reported.
The town Of McHenry Is quarantlned
in the most rigid manner. A gentleman
and his wife attempted to leave the
place. DR.. HARRISON, the state health
officer in charge, Immediately disinfect-
ed himself, changed his clothing and
went in pursuit and brought the refu-
gees back. There are no signs whatever
of panic, and the greatest confidence
is expressed In the ability of the state
board to confine the fever to McHenry.
The Louisiana state board of health,
having been Informed by Or. p. II. Car
ter of the United states marine hospital
service that the Fontalnbeau camp, ne ar
Pascagoula is now open, declares that
henceforth parties wishing to enter New
Orleans must hold certificates from the
officer in charge of the Gasp. Parties
should ascertain before going to the
camp that the camp has room to ac-
commodate them. The camp will be
operated in accordance with the reSula-
tionS of the Atlanta convention.
At meeting of the board the follow
Ing was adopted:
Resolved, That until further notice no
passenger will be allowed to come to
New Orleans from 1Iattiesburg or other
points south on the New Orleans and
Northeastern railroad as far as the

The Next Governor

As several State papers have remark
ed The Republican State Convention which
Is to be held at Montpelier next week
will present for the first time in many
years, the unique situation of no contest
for the nomination for Governor of the
State. but sharp fight will be presented
for all the other positions. When the
Bennington summer boarder withdrew
from the race it left the st. Adams citi-
zen Il sure winner, and unless all signs
fail, or the State should have Demo-
cratic landslide the next Governor of
Vermont will be Col. Edward c. Smith
of St. Adams. While he is not the only
man in Vermont competent for the posi-
ton, yet we feel sure that with the son
OF The s'War Governor at the head of
our State Executive department, the vot-
crs will be pleased with clean and
business like administration. Mr.. Smith
ha. proved that he is a loyal Vermonter,
was reared among our hills and is well
equipped to manage the duties which
arc imposed on the Governor of this
Green Mountain State. While there
was never any doubt in the minds of a
of the Republicans of Vermont
of the outcome of the State convention,
yet with the early withdrawal of the
Bennington candidate, the struggle for
the position has been easy and will end
In Il harmonious victory for Smith.
While at the outset of the canvass the
cry was made by u number of papers
that Smiths only claim to the office,
was that he was the son of his father,
vet we feel sure that before two years
are over, the same authorsof such Il weak
will admit the ability OF Yer
mont's next Governor Edward G. Smith
of st. Adams.

MAY TAKE SANTIAGO.

Admiral SAMPSON MAY Not Wait For Ar
rival of Troops.
Off Santiago, via Kingston, Janlalc",
June 13.-"If l had 10000 troops eO"'N
occupy Santiago within "a hours.
This is Admiral SIMPSONS statement
of the situation here. He is most ann
ous for the troops to arrive. Sahlldso
defenses are practically demolished, ana
all the naval officers here are wondering
why no land force has arrived to lo4!o"
up the work done by the fleets.
Delay means more bloodshed. Aoiiii-
raj Cervera will be able to make repairs
and remount some of the smaller guns.
Delay means that Admiral CerVera IL
inch guns will be in better POSITIONS 10
repel any and all attacks.
An army next week will face three
times the difficulties that it would TO-
day. by next week the Spaniards VIII
be able to cover the land and sea APP
breaches to Santiago by four IL men,
two 10 inch and forty inch guns, to say
nothing of hundred Founders ana
some smaller rapid fire guns, all taken
from the vessels of the fleet.
Admiral Sampson Is weighing the
project of taking the city without walt
ing longer for the arrival of troops. lie
is receiving daily reports about Admiral
Celvera's ships. The guns have not yet
been removed from them and he IS
anxious to act before batteries are
planted that will result in the slaughter
of his men.
General Garcia is known to be near
ing Santiago. 1t is understood that he
has 1000 men and twelve II pound
Hotchldss guns.
If General Garcia arrives soon, Admit
NAL Sampson may send artillery ashore
to aid him in an attack on the city.
Garcia's troops could be used to support
the artillery and the heights surround
ing Santiago furnish excellent facilities
for bombarding the city from the land
side
The weary wait is wearing on every
one aboard the fleet. Days spent in sig
mailing and nights of guarding against
attacks from torpedo boats, with no
chance for action, are a great strain on
officers and men. Even Fighting Bob
Evans is beginning to look worn.
Admiral Sampson knows and appre-
ciates all this. but he will not permit
the weary vigil to be relaxed. He is de-
termined that none Of Admiral Ger
vera's ships shall escape.
II would rather lose my head than let
one of them get away" was the way he
