TROOPS AT THE PREsIDIO.
Another Death in the Division Hospital - Engineer Corps
 Wants to Go to Hawaii

Private Joseph Baker. Company B, First Tennessee Regiment. who was brought to the division hospital on Satur- day afternoon suffering with acute dysentery, died there the same night.
 The remains of Private Lewis, Com pany H, Sixth California Regiment, who died at the post hospital on Saturday of pneumonia, were removed yesterday to Merced by his parents.
 Major Owen said yesterday that the division hospital was full, but that to-day he would discharge number of men as cured, and that he would secure a num- Der of cots to-day so that he would have plenty of room.

 The Corps of Engineers under Major Langfitt are ready and anxious to go to Honolulu, and 1t is very probable that the command will be sent there. The men need a few more shoes and pants and few tools, and they will be in shape for any kind of duty: Their services will certainly be required at Honolulu if the | Government intends to build any bar racks there.

 Yesterday was an exceedingly quiet day in the camp of the First New York. All drills were suspended and the men were given their liberty. Lieutenant Colonel Stacpole was absent and Major Chase was in command. There was the usually large crowd of visitors who wandered around the camp. The Army and Navy Christian Commission has erected a very large tent just outside of the camp for the convenience of the men, so that they can have a place to read and write.

AMERICAN MANHOOD.
Patriotic Remarks on That Subject
 by Rev. Chapman of Oakland.

Rev. F. S. Chapman, DID,, of Oakland delivered a patriotic address at the Y. M c. A. Auditorium yesterday afternoon, In which he paid glowing tribute to American manhood and the policy pur- sued by this Government in waging war not for conquest but for the uplifting of humanity
 Tn the course of his remarks he said God has somehow put into the American people the choicest blood of the nations the thin blood. the thick blood, the red blood-and 1t has given us a nation of the mightiest men that ever lived. We are a nation of mighty men; men not only from historical families but born in poverty as well. Every American boy can say as he looks up to the Presidential chair that s mine, if I can earn it.

CAMP MERRITT WILL BE
 ABANDONED THIS WEEK

"HE sanitar- situation at Camp
 Merritt with each pas sing day
 is becondng more alarming.
 A Yesterday five soldiers who had
 IaIlen victims to this disease breeding camp were consigned to the. gra~e. The rec I'd of deaths and sickness is startling, and promises to proportonately equal the fatalities of the Cuban battlefelds. In addition to the illness caused by the unhealthy condition of the camp, it Is claimed that a great deal of the sickness has been the result of inexperience on the part of the volunteer surgeons and reg mental commanders in looking after their men, and furthermore many of the soldiers are at fault for the little care that they take of themselves.
 It is a noticeable fact that the per centage of sickness among the regu- lars has been very much less than among the volunteers. The latter care lessly expose themselves to the winds and fogs, and in some instances keep late hours and dissipate to excess. An order was recently issued in regard to the time that the men are to be in camp, but 1t is claimed that the regi- mental commanders have not strictly enforced it. Another cause of sickness is the filth of the camp, and a lack of bathing facilities.
 The authorities having the power to move the troops to the Presidio are be- ing severely criticized for the delay in this important matter, and nearly ev- erybody at Camp Merritt is asking when the move is to be made.
 Captain Thompson, the post quarter master, yesterday said that he thought the troops might be moved this week, provided he can get the water pipes laid and the sinks dug at the Presidio. This work must be done before the troops can change their camp to the Presidio grounds. To-day all the water pipes that can be spared from Camp Merritt will be tcKen up and hauled to the Presidio.
 General Miller stated yesterday that the moving of the troops-is about to be- gin, and that before the end of next week Camp Merritt would be a thing of the past.
 The lines between the First and Sec Ond Brigades will be more distinctly in evidence when the new camp is an oCSOlI pilSHeu IdCl, as lL IS planned to locate them in different parts of the Presidio reservation. The sites have al- ready been chosen.
 It is given out that the troops to go on the next transports-the St. Paul. Scandia and Arizona-will not be moved to the Presidio. Those to go on the St Paul will sail this week.
 The division and post hospitals were filled to their capacity yesterday. while many of the sick soldiers are in the French and Marine hospitals. Pneumo- mia, typhoid fever, spinal meningitis, dysentery and measles are the most prevalent diseases

Christian Commission Work.

Christian Commission Work.
 The Christian Commission tent in the First New York Regiment camp at the Presidio was crowded yesterday, the first service being held at Il o'clock by the chaplain. Every facility for letter-writ- ing and other conveniences as head quarters for men have been provided
 The two batteries at Fort Point have also been provided with a tent. which is highly appreciated by the men. Services will be held there at least three evenings a week, and the Mothers Sewing Club will endeavor to reach the tent once or twice a week to sew for the boys.
 The Crtttenton meetings to open at Camp Merritt this evening promise to be largely attended, as MT. Crittenton is a very popular speaker and the boys have been expecting his coming.
 The executive committee of the com mission will meet this afternoon at 2:30 O clock at the Occidental Hotel, when steps will be taken looking toward the organization of the commission in the various cities of the State.

CAMP BARRETT, Sather Station, July 24-The rumor that the Eighth Regiment was to march around the bay to San Francisco via San Jose Is denied by the officials tonight. The only way to ac- count for any such absurd statement is the fact that Colonel Henshaw- and Lieu tenant Colonel Darlington have been looking about for a suitable tract of land where the regiment may be taken out for a drill in one body.

The Washington Bee is to be com
mended for the manly way in which it
has stood~by Mrs. Brown, who has
been wrongly and unjustly dismissed
from the position of Matron of the
Freedmen's Hospital of Washington.
We are surprised at the action of DIR.
Curtis III this matter. 1t seems that
but few of our leading men can be
relied upon to treat their own women
right when white woman is involved
in the case-they will side with the
white woman, and against the Negro
woman every time, it matters not how
just the cause of the colored woman
may be. We trust that The Bee may
keep at this case until Mrs. Brown
gets justice. We must give white men
and Negro fawners upon white women
to understand that they cannot
trample upon the rights of Negro
women with impunity.

enter the contest, is we think from, a
conscious feeling of right belonging
TO the Hon. John Mcdonald to succeed
himself. Captain Mcdonald NAV not
possess the veneering of an orator
but his observation-disclosures in casting bis
vote for right and justice, his attitude
on all public questions, the life he had
the patriotism TO risk for his country
in its hour of need, leaves no donbt in
the minds of some of his constituents
that he can be trusted for a second
term in Congress and that there are
more things than cratic oratory that
enable mans public life to scour be-
fore the peoples gaze. Now the
Hon. John Mcdonald is honorably
entitled to denomination and we do
not know the temper of the people if
he does not get their support. He is
one or the few men, who when the
battles of his country were fought to
a successful finish, went into retired
life, "a farmer" until our people of the
Sixth Congressional District recog-
nized his sterling qualities called him
forth to represent them by majority
of nearly three thousand votes. In
battle he was valiant for his country
and in peace he honored his profess
sion. In Congress attentive to his
duties and the peoples approval in
the sixth he will suerely get.
The few republicans of Frederick
city or county who have been in the
city of Baltimore discussing politics.
who have been unsparing in their crit
icisms of Judge Motter's friends in
dragging him into political contest,
are very inconsistent and nonsensical.
Judge Motter has the inalienable
right Of every citizen to exercise his
right of choice of all the candidates,
and will no doubt do so when he
thinks proper. Up to this time these
criticisms are entirely unwarranted
and very much out of place.

There was i Gould meeting held here
last Saturday evening. in Jones House
near Cabin Johns Bridge. E. E.
Cooper, was presiding officer. There
were about SIS colored republicans
present most of them were Capt
Mcdonald supporters. When The BEE
man arrived, a white man was extoll-
ing the virtues Of Mr.. Gould and after
he had concluded he asked the ques-
ton if any one wanted to ask him any
questions. Mr.. Chase, who is sup
porting Capt. Mcdonald, read two
affidavits, from two colored republi
cans in Mr.. Gould's district, who
swore that Mr.. Gould asserted in 'e6,
during the Mckinley Campaign, that
the republican party would not be
classed as negro party, ifthe negroes
were let alone, or words 10 that ef-
feet. That Mr.. Gould knew of num-
Der of young democrats who would
join the party.

THE YOUNG MAN SHOULD BE GUIDED

Common sense rules In dress and
manners, the same as in any phase of
our lives, and this our Young men
shoald learn and understand" writes
Edward Box of "What Makes a Cen
item in," in the July Ladies Home
Journal. "A mans manners are not
exterior; they eminates from within
from himself. Experience and obser.
vation are the only teachers he can
seek and use. Etiquette books are
useless to him. A young mans pro-
gress and favor in the eyes cf others
does not depend upon his being stem
tatiously correct in manner, move
ment and speech. His strongest and
most lasting hold upon the respect and
confidence of people comes from some
thing deeper. He must not be boor-
lsh. nor slovenly, nor needless oil the
feeling OF others. 1t is his duty to
carry himself we'll according to his
best instincts, and not by rules laid
down In etiquette books. So with a
young mans dress. AT twenty we do
not expect our young men to devote
SO much time TO their clothes that
they shall be correctly dressed upon
every occasion. Such useless knowI-
edge, is at that time of life, acquired
at the expense of far more important
matters, The taste Of good dressing.
and its knowledge, so far as it is nee.
essary, comes TO all of us as we pro-
gress. The right sort of youpg
man dresses in in the neatest
and best manner he can, and as we'll
as his his income permits. That is
always good dressing. To overdress
ones station in the world is always
poor taste and invariably makes bad
impression: l never yet saw Young
man who either hired or borrowed a1
evening suit for special occasion who
did not loudly proclaim the self ev;.
dent fact. When young man wears
clothes beyond his means he invsr;a'

Notwithstanding the disposition
on the part of the white press not to
give our colored troops their hard
earned need of praise, the Euro
pean papers and officials know
where to give credit when credit is
due. 1t is a sad commentary on
American justice and patriotism
when American heroes can receive
deserved commendation only from
foreigners. When will the Ameri-
