Swedish Army Surgeon Who Sails On

New York, Aug. Additional supplies
were placed yesterday aboard the hos
pital ship Relief. fitting out at Pier ls.
East River. for her return to Cuba She
will sail some time this afternoon The
Relief has now accommodations for q,
patients. In addition to her regular staff
she will take out six contract surgeons.
whose services are enlisted only until the
close of the war. and who rank as act
ing assistant surgeons
DIR. Karl Rudberg, a stan surgeon of
the Swedish army. will go on the Relief.
He was with the army in the advance on
Santiago. and at the request of Gen.
Shafter came north on the transport Iro-
quois to aid in attending to the wounded.
surgeons available for the purpose.
Now DR.. Rudberg wishes to return. in
order that he may see some more field
practice. He hopes to go to Porto Rico.
but IL is still uncertain whether the Re-
lief will proceed first to that island or re-
turn to Santiago.
When asked what he thought of the
management Of the American army hospi-
tails. DR.. Rudberg said: II do not see how,
under the existing circumstances. the
wounded could have been better cared
for. While 1 sympathize with some crit
les. who have been moved to speak by
generous impulses. / doubt whether their
knowledge of hospital practice in war is
as great as their anxie:y to see suffering
alieviated- We have had similar COM
plants in the early stages of every Eu-
ropean war. II is not in the nature of
things that you can conduct hospitals at
the front as you would at home in times
of peace. 1t is simply a case of doing the
best you can. under the most difficult Con-
ditions. and from what have seen of its
work in Cuba, l believe that the Hospital
Corps of the American army did every
thing that could have been done"

LINERS TO BE RETAINED.
Government to Keep the Yale and
Harvard for Army Transports.

Harvard for Army Transports.
Two American line steamers are to be
retained in the Government service for
use as army transports. This has prac-
tically been decided upon by the Presi-
dent. after consultation with Secretary
Long and Secretary Alger. and formal or
ders for the transfer of the two ships
from the naval to the military service
will be announced in few days.
AS a result Of a call made by President
Griscom. OF the American line. upon Sec
retary Long. he was informed Of the in
ten.ion Of the Government to return the
st. Louis and st. Paul to their owners
within a short time.
I'VE shall be glad to get them back. =
said Mr.. Griscom. Under the contract
between the Government and American
line the United States will be required to
restore the vessels to the conditions they
were in bcfore their charter
Such action will necessitate the dispatch
of the ST. Louis and St Paul to the navy
yard at League Island, where their guns
will be taken out. magazines removed
and the appliances they had on board
before their entrance into Government
service returned to their old position.
The expense of performing this WORK
will be considerable and will. sf cnur.e.
increase the general cos. of the ships.
The st. Louis and Harvard were char
tered on April q and the Yale on April
80. while the st. Paul was impressed into
the Government service a few days be-
fore the war. In round numbers, the
cost of the four American liners to the
Government has reached almost $1,000. 900.
Terms upon which the War Department
is to charter the Harvard and Yale are
yet to be arranged. 1t is understood.
however. that their cost will be practi-
cally the same as that under which they
were chartered by the navy-s2. 200 a day
each. Before turning them over to the
army. it is possible that the guns they
have on board may be removed and used
by the navy for ships intended for SER
vice as men-of-war, though this is not
finally determined.
What is causing some question Is the
status Of the officers and men on these
ships. The officers hold commissions
from the President and the men are
regularly enlisted in the service. 1t Is
probable that they will continue on
board tl1 Harvard and Yale. and these
two ships will be military transports
such as are in service In foreign navles.

GOLD PAYMENTS BY EUROPE.

The beginning Of gold imports, August J. Is
so far in advance of the usual time for such Il
movement that 1t strongly corroborates conclu-
sions regarding the outstanding balances be-
tween this and other countries which were
drawn from recent examination OF foreign
trade for many years. Were there not already
an uuloudated balance due this country on
past account as large as International bankers
care to carry, actual shipments of gold would
hardly appear In advance Of the usual rush or
nroduce exports In the fall. While weekly re-
turns have indicated q considerable excess or
exports over imports in July. 1t has not been
large enough to produce an immediate move

A DOUBLE RESPONSIBILITY.

The appeal Of the Vatican to the United States
to protect ecclesastics from the vengeance OF
the Philippine insurgents asks us to do nothing
which we had not planned TO do, and throws
upon us no responsibility which we had not be
fore recognized Admiral Dewey's whole policy
has been to restrain Aguinaldo and his follow
ers, to protect the lives and property Of noncom-
batants and give no excuse to Spain or any other
European Power TO reproach the United States
for permitting any excuses to result from It's
attack upon the Philippines. 1t was this deep
sense of responsibility which caused the long
delay in taking Manila. We would not over
throw the order there established until we could
be sure of our ability TO protect the inhabitants.
Otherwise we might have expelled the Spanish
garrison three months ago.
Our position In the Philippines Is one OF
double responsibility. and we cannot sail away
without wronging either the Spanish inhabi
tants or the Tagal insurgents. or both: for each
side has moral claims upon us to protection
from the excuses or oppression Of the other.
On the one hand we reduced the Spanish power
TO so low an ebb that il threatens to fall before
barbarian attacks, and for the fate of Spaniards
at the hands OF those barDarians we are morally
accountable On the other hand, we Invited
Aguinaldo to 90 to Cavite, and encouraged him
TO rouse his fellows 10 revolt against their SOW
ereign, and gave them arms TO fight with. We
cannot then, desert them and leave them TO be
punished for trusting and serving us
SO we stand between two forces. bound 10 re-
strain each and bound TO protect each. When
Admiral Dewey sailed into Manila Bay and pre-
pared the way for the outbreak Of new insur
rection the United States took upon itself the
responsibility for the results Of the contest
which 1t set in notion and its foremost duty is
to guard existing civilization on the one side and
secure justice TO the downtrodden on the other

urges us 10 shirk the burden. As The New York
Evening Post justly says, We cannot feed

then wash our hands OF the responsibility. We
cannot call In savage allies in warfare without
"shouldcring the consequences of their acts"
Aguinaldo appears 10 be acting badly. Our
duty. then IS. all the palmer We have made
him what he Is. We must answer for him TO
the civilized world. Ard when we chose for
our assistant barbarian of childish vanity and
headstrong temper we took him as he was. in
Guiding vanity and temper. The manifestation
of those qualities may compel us 10 restrain
him. but il does not free us from obligation to
him.
We must protect the Tagals from Spanish
vengeance as well as protect the Spaniards
from Tagal vengeance. The Philippine prob
lem, with lis double duty, is on the National
conscience, and we cannot escape II by simply
toosing our hands. We might embark our troops
