BOLD BURGLARY LAST NIGHT.
G. ALEKSA ROBBED OF ELEVEN
HUNDRED DOLLARS.
He Had Borrowed the Money to
Pay OFF a Mortgage on
Hir Home.

The residence of G. AlekSa, SO TWen-
ty-fourth street, was burglarized last
night, and 81 100, which had been hid
den in folding bed, was stolen
On Thursday last Mr.. Aleksa, VINO Is
employed at the roundhouse In the
railroad shops, borrowed Sl,100 from
w. p Coleman for the purpose OF
Transporting the mortgage that hung
over his home. He told his Wife TO
put the money in the bank until Mon
day next. at which time the mortgage
would fall due, and he supposlng she
had done so, paid no further attention
to the matter.
Last evening Mr.. and Mrs. Aleksa.
attended the theater, and upon reach
ing their home after the performance
found that burglars had during their
absence effected an entrance through
a side window, and had literally turned
everything upside down.
Mrs Aleksa at once rushed to the
folding bed, and at a glance saw that
the treasure she had hidden there was
gone, and when she impaired the in
formation 20 her husband he was
stunned. supposing, as he did, that the
money was safe in the bank.
Aleksa visited the police station and
notified the officers of his loss. He felt
certain, he said, that nobody except his
wife mad Mr. Coleman knew. that he
had borrowed the money, and said that
he himself imagined 1t was in the bank
until his wife told him differently after
his return from the theater His wife,
he said was Frustrated with her loss,
but maintained shat she had told no.
body the money was in the house.
The evidently persistent search made
by the burglars gives the police Off
Gals grounds for the belief that the
woman did tell somebody the money
was in the house, and that the thieves
We're not working at random, and it is
thought probable that when she recov-
ers from the shock she may be able to
give some clue that may lead TO the re-
covery of the coin.
While making his report to the po-
ice. Mr.. Aleksa said the less of the
money meant the loss of his home, and
that his creditors should have every
cent belonging TO them if he had to go
houseless on the street.

inches long. serenely swimming in wa

What to do with it was a perplexing
question. until the fertile brain of a
Southern Pacific employe conceived
the idea of placing it in China Slough

little animal should prove strong
enough to survive the not too wonder
fully pure waters of the lake. one need
not express wonder or surprise in the
days TO come to see live alligator dis

FROM DR.. ARWINE.
Formerly n Resident of This City
Now at Santiago

! DR.. James 7. Arwine, formerly a resi-
dent of this city, who is employed in the
| hospital of the First Division of the
Fifth Army Corps. at Santiago, has writ
ten TO a friend in this city describing
the condition of the troops at that fever
| infested region. DR.. Arwine. with Jesse
Ramsburgh, offered his services to the
Government at the outbreak of hostili-
ties, and as they had considerable special
knowledge as to the treatment of yellow
fever, they were both sent to Cuba as
soon as an American army was landed
there.
DR.. Arwine writes that he is in excellent
health and spirits. The almost constant
exposure to the hardships incident to
active field service had had little or no
effect on him SO far and from present
| prospects he expects to come through the
arduous campaign without succumbing to
disease.
There are sixty cases of yellow fever in
the hospital, DR.. Arwine writes, but thew
are all of a very mild form The death
rate in proportion to the cases treated Is
remarkably small. The fever is of a ma
larial origin and is generally preceded
by chill, which is followed by high fe-
yer for about thirty hours, the tempera-
ture very rarely being below 1o2 After
the first day or two the temperature falls
and the fever becomes intermittent in
connection with a sliglft form of dysen-
terry. 1t is said that in the morning on
the Cuban coast clouds of mist can be
seen to rise from the ground over which
the rain has poured the day before. These
mists are literally clouds of yellow fever
germs, as they contain the noxious sub
stances. which. when drawn into the
lungs, produce the wosst kind of cases
of malarial fever, which invariably leads
TO an attack Of the yellow fever. The
American troops sleep on the ground
where these germs breed and it is consid-
cred by experts as wonderful that thev
have withstood the spread of the +erri.

1T WI be dangerous for any party

Tt cannot be done for the reasons that

are now closer TO Us than the territory
on the Mississippi River was from the
New England States at the time of or
wear with England. They are much
nearer, in fact, and can be easier and
better governed.
"I have for fifteen years regarded the
Orient and the Pacific Ocean as the fu-
ture of our commerce. / look in that di-
rection for our greatest development and
largest commerce in the next century.
On the other side of the Pacific are six

ton. Somehow or other. we are strongly
drawn 10 the Orient from whence eiviliZa-
ton, learning. and philosophy have been
derived. 1t is the magnet that draws
everything TO it. Civilization has Travelled
around the globe, and now meets the
Orient again.
The United States should not shrink
from the small problems involved in keep
ing the Philippines. These islands have
been providentially given to us, and we
should not hesitate to persevere in our
work of humanity. AS Lowell well says:
