Clean Up Your Own Premises.

In view of the fact that the city
officials have interested themselves
so thoroughly in regard to the
city's sanitary condition it is only
just and reasonable that our citi-
zens assist them in this matter and
clean up their premises. This has
no especial reference to your home
alone, but it should also include
your business property. 1t is a
notorious fact that the odors aris-
ing at the rears of some business
houses and in Paradise and other
alleys are very much on the orig
inal Sampson order. This should
not be, nor would it, if every one
will make it a point to clean up
their own premises. By doing
this it will be but short time be-
fore our city will present a salts
factory sanitary condition and a
more healthful appearance.

Washington, Aug. 30. When Gen.
Miles returns to Washington, he will
be asked for an explanation OF recent
interviews had with him and the pub
LEGATION OF certain dispatches which
the War Department has not made
public. Whether the Investigation
will take the course Off military court
of inquiry, or Of private interview
between the President, the Secretary
of War and Gen. Miles, remains yet to
be seen.
Until the arrival OF Glen. Miles. the
War Department will not discuss the
matter. Secretary Alger says tha de-
partment will not enter into any con-
troversy with its Huhordinates. and he
does not propose to discuss matters
affecting Gen. Miles during his alb
aencs. This department ia of the opin-
lou that Gen. Miles made public the
dispatchus OF the Secretary, Gen.
Shafter and himself published thia
morning. Such action it regards as
breach of military regulations, but no
military court can secure proof that
Gen. Miles made public the dispatches
if he and the person to whom they
were furnished refuss to give the in
formation. as several military trials
have made it settled law that no mill
tary court can compel civilian to
testify if he does not want to.
Gen. Miles also may be called to NO.
count for the interviewa with him, as,
| unless disavowed, they would place

superior officers and subject him to
military discipline.
The publication of the dispatches
| to-day, taken together with previous
interviews in the Kansas City Star,
WAS the topic of conversation among
otlcsra of the War Department, and
already there is disposition by some
to take sides in the matter, while
others deplore the conditions an tend
ing to lower the tone OF the army and
to do irreparable injury to the servics

tend to both houaes OF Congress-, as II

Denial of Kumors Regarding Certain DEATH
at Camp Nyikoif on Monday.

Denial of Kumors Regarding Certain Deaths
at Camp yyikoff on Monday.
New York, Aug. 80 Medical officers
at Camp Wikoff, Nontauk Point, deny
that there have been deaths at the
camp hospital from yellow fever. The
two men whose death there yesterday
was said to lie attibutable to the dis
ease named were, according to the sur
geons in charge, victims of pernicious
malarial fever, which those unfamiliar
with yellow fever frequently diagnosed
as the latter. DIR. Nicholas Sem, as
sistant surgeon general, u. S. A., is
quoted as saying today at CampWikof: :
In Justice to the camp, | want to
say that almost none of the sickness
among the soldiers up to the present
time, and none of the deaths, have
hsen due to the conditions which now
prevail here or have prevailed in the
past. Sickness has been almost entirely
limited to fevers contracted in the
| South, and the death-rate would have
been much more than now had the
men rmained ir the South instead of
being brought here.
1.-THE change OF climate lesHened tine
effects of the fever and improved the
condition of the men. AS conse-
quenoe, the only sickness which can be
attributed to this camp is dysentery or
lesser troubles. which may have been
caused by the change of diet or water.
$50 far, none of the fevers has been
indigenous to camp; but, il the men
remain here, they will certainly bo
attacked by typhoid fever. This will
be dus to the germs which they will
get in the water. For q time, this
camp will be healthy one; but. in a
few weeks, the typhoid fever germs
from the sinks and cesspools, now scat
tered SO thickly about, will permeate
the earth and contaminate the water
"To make this place healthy, we
should have system of drainage
which would carry away all thest
germs, hut to build such would cost 6
large sum, owing to the extent of th'
camp"
! Several hundred cots arrived las
night, and were put, up this morning,
There is now enough room to accom-
mediate all the sick. Conpalescents ar
being discharged daily from the hos
pital, and their places are being tahei
by the sick from the transports.

Three Hundred Signal service Men Work.
ing on the Lines There.
Washington, Aug. 30 The War De-
partment has receivad advices from
Porto Rico on the work being done by
the little army of signal service men on
the island. There are 400 of these men
now there, and they will have to as
sumo the control and operation of the
government lines of telegraph. The
lines are now operated by the Span
iarda; but when the possession Of the
island 10 transferred to tha United
States, the signal services will have TO
take charge until the future status OF
the system ia determined. sThis govern
ment always has been opposed to a
governmental telegraph system, and
signal service officials say it is not i'm
probable that the Limos in the new
island possession will be eventually
sold to private enterprise through bids
for Its purchase. This, however, has
not yet been taken up officially, and
government control will have TO be as
aumed at least until the ultimate dis.
position is determined at all the offices
on the entire telegraph system OF Porto
Rico.
Blue print diagrams of the system
have been forwarded here to the signal
service authorities. They show that
asde from line that runs irregularl ly
along the coast there are two lines rum
ming directly north and south and
others forming network through tine
island. The principal telegraph sta,
tions, which the signal service VIII
have to man, are at San Juan, from
which there ia double line to CaguaH,
