TROOPS IN PORTO RICO.
A LARGE NUMBER OF VOLUN-
TIERS ON THE SICK LIST.
Cannot Stand the Climate as Well
as Regu1ars-Conva1es
Being Sent Home.

copyrighted. 1898. by Associated Press.l
PONCE porto Rico), Sept. PIT is
the we'll grounded and almost unani-
nous opinion of the medical staff of
the American army in Porto Rico that
the condition of the volunteer forces
here necessitates their removal north.
Sickness is increasing and has been
increasing during the past three weeks
at an alarming rate. To-day the sick
report shows 200 in hospitals or in
quarters, out of total command of
10000 men-that is, over % per cent.
of the troops are on the sick list. This,
however does not mean that there is
an effective strength of I 800 men. The
soldiers discharged from the hospitals
as fit for duty are in nine cases out of
ten incapable of service, and if ordered
on duty are almost invariably back in
the hospitals within few days.
The medical officers have found that
the convalescents do not and seeln-
ingly cannot recover their strength in
this climate, and for this reason they
are being, sent north as rapidly as pos
sible, several hundred leaving every
week.
1t is a significant fact that there is a
wide disparity between the sickness
in the volunteers and regular COM
mands. In the two regular infantry
regiments, the Nineteeth and Eiev-
enth, the sick average is only about III
per cent. while in the volunteer regi-
ments it averages 81 per cent.
The weekly health report of a week
ago shows 800 cases of typhoid fever,
565 cases of malaria, one case of small
box and / ,450 cases of climatic fever,
diarrhea, etc. Since then about oUO
cases have been added to the list.
The worst feature of the situation is
the steady increase in the number OF
tvphoid fever cases, which to-day
reached over 400. For a time it APP
reared probable that the typhoid fe-
yer in the army, most of which is al
legged to have come from Camp Thorn
as and Camp Alger originally, would be
slammed out, but about three weeks
ago new cases began to appear at an
alarming rate Major Snowden and
his associates do not believe that there
is a new source of contagion, but rath-
or that the& cases are due to Infection
of the old cases.
Captain r. M. Pugsley, Navigator of
the transport OLDHAM, was relieved
from duty on that ships arrival here
on Saturday. The order relieving him
was issued by General Henry, upon the
representation of Captain Walter Al
len. the United States Quartermaster
in charge of the vessel, who alleged
that Captain Pugsley had been insub-
ordinate and had used abusive Ian
guage on the voyage down. The
charges made against Pugsley grew
out of a conflict of authority on board
the ship Captain Allen maintained
that he was Pugsleys superior officer,
a contention which the latter chal-
lenged, so far as it related to the nav
igation of the ship. 1t was to Captain
Pugsley that the sailing orders were
directed in New York Captain Pugs-
ley, upon his return to New York, will
demand an investigation.

OAKLAND, Oct 3.-The Piedmont
Power plant at Twentyfourth street
and Oakland avenue was wrecked to-
day as though shelled by shrapnel
The destruction Of the power plant of
the electric road was caused by the
bursting of three large castiron fly
wheel pulleys. They were used in
transmitting power to the electrical
generators Of the system. Pieces OF
cast steel and iron weighing hundreds
Of pounds were hurled with terrific
force through the walls of the building.
Some pieces fell as far as fifty feet
away. Fortunately no one was IN
jured in the wreck.
The cause of the accident is supposed
to have been the slipping off of heavy
belt on the nine-foot pulley, the other
pulleys breaking because of the sud
den release of the tension.

MCBRIDE OUTCLASsED.
Tommy White Has No Trouble in
Defeating the New Yorker.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3-Tommy White
of Chicago and Danny Mcbride of New
York met tonight at the Greater New
York Athletic Club for twenty five
round bout to decide the 126-pound
championship, but the fight lasted a
little less than one-fourth of the intend
ed distance, White being the winner by
long odds. &
Whites reach was big advantage to
him, and from the first round it was ap-
parent that he would get all the money.
Mcbride was game to the core, but he
was outclasSed.
In the sixth round Mcbride was sent
to the floor three times in quick sue
cesson with heavy right swings on the
jaw, and the referee mercifully stopped
the bout then and there, in order to
prevent Danny's being knocked out and
probably seriously injured.
