HI. M. STANLEY AGAINST 1T.
Says There is No Hurry About an
Anglo-American Alliance.

Chicago. Aug 24-Henry NJ STANLEY
the famous explorer, journalist and au-
thor, once an American citizen and now
a member of the English house of COM
mons, has placed himself on record as
opposed to an Anglo-American alliance
In a letter received by Major J. P
Pond, the veteran lyceum manager
now stopping at the Palmer house, Mr.
Stanley openly discourages any agree
ment between the two nations. He
recognizes the fact that England and
America are bound together by nu-
merOus ties and are yearly drawing
closer together, but in spite of that fact
he advises caution and thinks it to the
interest of neither nation to adopt a
lettering and entangling alliance.
Ever since Joseph Chamberlain ia
nous speech faVoring an AngIo-Amer-
lean alliance Mr.. Stanley has been re-
peatedly asked by both Englishmen and
Americans to express himself on the
question. Hitherto he has refused and
his latest letter which Major Pond has
just received is the first piece of writ
ing in which he has expressed himself
on the matter. The letter is in part as
follows:
''Argels- Gazoust, France.
my Dear Major: Now with regard
to this Anglo American alliance. 1t is
a good thing and a natural thing for
shake hands and make a league of
friendship. But the necessity for that
is not imperative on either side. Eng
land is at peace with the world, though
ca has her enemy at her mercy and no
body is going to interfere with her
Where is the need of this hurry?
''Then naturally, having passed the
mpressiOnable period OF life in Ameri-
ca and born a Britain, having an Eng
lish wife and home, feel able to see
a trif1e clearer than some of those who
are all Americans or all English.
have not a particle of prejudice, though
my duty lies on this side.
my opinion is we must not be pre-
cipitate. The two nations are gravi-
ating together and true friendship can
not be forced. 1t is a slow process, re
curing time. There are many Amer
leans who have not thought on the
subject. There are many English who
cannot entertain the idea. If such
people are spoken to about the alliance
they are apt to say things neither kind
ly Americans or kindly English would
like to hear. No. Wisdom suggests
we leave the feeling to grow and solidi-
fy
IF either country were in distress
that would be the proper time to
breathe more life into that spirit of
friendship and kindness which we know
exists and bring the reserved and proud
people together. But today there is
no necessity for either nation to think
practically about the matter. One is
fat and proud, with the Bank of Eng
land and it's big navy. The other is in
a CULVER of delight over Manila and
Santiago and the glorious heroes Dew
ey, Schley and Shafter.
1.-THE time is not suitable for speak
ing of alliances. If you Americans
come out of that continent and take
your share of the worlds concerns you
will know better what an alliance
means.
Il am yours cordially,
HENRY NJ. STANLEY"

ENEMY'S BULLETS
Have Not Been Nearly So Destruc-
tive as Disease.

New York, Aug. PA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The list of casualties in the army dur
ing the with Spain has not yet been
carefully compiled, and in fact can not be
completed for months to come. because
included in it must be the deaths from
disease in camp and hospital which will
far Outnumber those from the bullets of
the enemy. The proportion of deaths
from disease will probably be larger than
in the civil war.
In 1885 an effort was made to ascertain
what that proportion was which resulted
in showing that the aggregate number of
deaths among the Union troops was 3o9,
killed in action was 81 ,O58 and the number
who died from wounds received in action
was 43,O12, making total of 110070
fraction over 80 per cent of the aggre-
men, or more than 81 per cent, died of
disease. The remainder of the deaths
were due to various causes. No fewer
than Jos officers and ,S}S men were drown
ed, while 142 officers and 1912 men died
from accidental causes other than drown
ing.
According to official and semi-official
reports. which are still subject to revision
and correction. the number of officers and
men killed in action since the outbreak of
number wounded 1896 making total of
LIS. 1t is probable that additions will be
made to the list of killed by subsequent
reports. OF course, most of the casual
tiago, but even there the number was not
excessively large, considering the stub
bOrnneSS of the defense and the fact that
infantry, not backed by a sufficient
amount of artillery, was led against the
enemy who was strongly entrenched.
Most of the fighting was with small arms
and few men in the American army. at
least, were killed or wounded with shells.

BROOM AND FORK.
Armed With Them Hermit Hugh
Cameron Enters Senator PETERS
House.

General Hugh Cameron, the hermit of
Douglass county, walked from his abode
known as Camp Ben Harrison near
Lawrence, to Topeka yesterday in the
interests of the Prohibition party.
General Cameron was dressed in a
pair of blue overalls and a checked
Bingham jumper. His long heavy
whiskers were freshly cOmbed and in
stead of being tucked in his jacket as
they generally are they were in plain
sight. As General Cameron visited ex-
Senator PETER it is probable that he
left his whiskers in sight for the pur-
pose of robbing the ex-senator of the
medal for the longest beard in Kansas.
General Cameron carried a broom tied
with yellow ribbons and a pitchfork.
The state central committee of the Pro-
hibitiOn party were hard at work at
Senator PETERS home mapping out the
plans for the coming campaign when
General Cameron suddenly appeared
before them and without being an
nounced he addressed ex-senator PETER
as follows:
