as he was seen cheers rent the air
from the clerks who had assembled to
catch a glimpse of the hero of Santia-

navy, state and war departments
crowded the corridors leading up to
the navy department until it was i'm
possible TO pass through. They
crowded around the admiral, eagerly
reaching forward to shake his hand.
The lady clerks were even more dem
onstrative, and the admiral was kissed
by old and young without discrimina-
ton. 1t was finally necessary to form
line and pass the rowd around
through the large rooms of the secre-
tary's office. in order to give them a
chance TO shake hands with the adj

Many prominent army officers took
part in the demonstration. The ad-
miral finally escaped into Capt,Crown-

Admiral Schley left the city later in
the day. He expects to sail for Porto

ment and Neglect.
BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 29.-Dr. S. S.
1Ioulton, one of the physicians on the
State hospital train that brought the
sick members Of the Fifth Regiment
from Huntsville, tells a story that shows
gross mismanagcment and neglect
somewhere. He said:
"The camp at Huntsville is high and
dry, but ] am told the hospital is in a
ravine subject to all the drainage of
wet weather. | had the caring of two
cars loaded only with typhoid patients,
1t was a pitiablc sight. Two of the

typhoid patients, almost unable to help
themselves, In their weakened and
desperate condition. what kind of food
do you think these men were carrying
with them? Nothing but hardtacli
biscuit and piece of salt meat each.
1.-The idea of feeding sick men on
such stuff is prma facie evidence OF
something wrong, but for typhoid pa
tients to be fed on such truck was little
less than murderous. The men told
me that this was all they had for sew.
eral days.
"These same men had been lying in
a hospital tent, in which stood several
feet of water. The tongues of the
typhoid patients were SO parched and
cracked that they looked like alligator
skin. They had had absolutely nc
proper medical attention and, in fact
were reduced to such a condition tina,
we fully expected many to die.

London, Aug. 29.-The Manila cor.

The situation, although undoubt.

Aguinaldo proposes to remove his

north of Manila. There he will shortly

they purchased cessation of hostii.

The movement was probably neces-

"A HIDEOUS DISCOVERY

Horrible Neglect OF the Dead In Division

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. ga
genuine horror was discovered today
by Capt. Samuel s. OConnor, of Com
pany A, Ninth New York, and will be
reported by him to Gov. Black when he
reaches this city. Capt. O'Connor, after
some hesitation, told the following

Private Nunns, who is a member of a

New York, to the second division, third
corps hospital company. He was taken
sick last Monday and was sent to the
second division hospital, where he died
Saturday No report of the death was
made to Capt. O'Connor, and today he
went to the hospital to see how the man
was getting along. He found him
lying in tent adjoining fever tent,
on cot, stark naked; his body had
been opened and an autopsy performed,
the flap covering the stomach and
bowels having been laid back. The
body was in a horrible state, and had
laid there naked since Saturday. 1t
was tiy-blown and maggots were crawl
ing about over the eyes and ears. En-
ragged and shocked at the horrible sight,
Capt O'Connor called on the physicians

round terms.

Capt. OConnor.
"No; but he had no clothes"
When they heard that the attention
of Gov. Black, of New York. would be
called to the matter when he arrived

found, the body was spongcd off and
dressed and fixed for the undertakcrs
care. The remains of this dead soldier
lay right against tent full of sick

MAKING THE LAW OBNOXIOUS.
Working to Enforce tho Sunday Closing
Law with Zeal Worthy of y
Better Motive.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 29.-Cleveland
had spasm of very peculiar kind OF
morality yesterday. Nearly every
cigar store, news stand and candy
store was closed, most Of the druggists
sold nothing but medicines on prescrip-
tion and restaurant keepers refused to
sell cigars Yet the saloons, as usual,
with little pretense OF keeping closed,
did a rushing business, through side
doors, behind screens.
The cause is the resentment of few
merchant tailors and clothicrs, whose
clerks short time ago induced the
Retail Salesmen's union to cause the
arrest of those clothiers who kept
their stores open on Sunday mornings,
thereby depriving their employees OF
part of their weekly day Of rest.
This movement spread to the butch.
ers and the grocers, and then the ag-
grieved clothing dealers, not more than
dozen in number, decided to make
the Sunday labor law obnoxious by
compelling its rigid enforcement upon
every body. They hired an attorney,
who caused the arrest of few cigar
dealers and newsstand keepers last
week. Then he announced yester-
day that all such. places would be
watched and those who violated the
law would be arrested.
The Cigarmakers union volunteered
TO help make the law obnoxious by
sending spoilers out yesterday.
The result is that nearly all of those
whose business comes under the pro-
visions of the old law closed their
places as matter Of precaution. 1t is
announced, however, by the constablcs
engaged in the work that about 40
warrants win be issued to-day.

SNL0UIS EXPOSITION.
Preparation for tho Fifteenth Annual st.
Louis Exposition Rapidly
Nearing Completion.

ST, Louis, Aug .7.-Preparations
are almost complete for the fifteenth
annual opening of the st. Louis ex-
position. This famous attraction will
open somewhat earlier this year than
us'al-September l4-and continue fol
five weeks.
The exposition OF this year will diff
fer from those held heretofore in sew
ernl respects. The numerous patrons
of the enterprise will be surprised
when they visit that place this fall to
find that the great music hall is no
longer to be used for concert purposes.
For II years the very best society OF
st. Louis has been wont to cOngregate
in this place, and go into raptures
over strains of music discoursed to
them by the -lamented Gilmore, the
famed Victor Herbert and John Philip
Sousa, and the thought that this is
now a thing of the past will probably
cause tnge of regret in the hearts
of the many devotees of music.
1t must not be supposed by this,
however, that the concerts are to be
abandoned. Far from it. On the con-
trary, they will be made more delight
full this year than ever. The scene,
however, will be shifted from the i'm
posing music hall to the more impos'
ing coliseum. A special platform has
been erected in the center of the
arena, where Sousa's band will be sta
toned. The coliseum will be convert
ed into a tropical garden, where
palms and other tropical and sub
tropical foliage will be distributed
around in points of vantage. Rustic
chairs will be placed in different
places in the garden. In this manner
it will be possible for music lovers to
sit undisturbed throughout the length
of the entire four concerts. Music
hall b used for spectacular exhibit
tions.
Considerable attention will be paid
to the art department this year. CIV.
| Rhodes, the assistant director. is now
in the city making arrangements to

and Charles NJ Kurtz, the director. is
