officer over three years, and whose name
is well known in Indianapolis. II had a
fever soon after 1 went into the army" he
said, Il came near dying. When the fever
was over hunger came. l wanted to eat all
the time and to consume everything. 1

milk punch, farina--liquid food-for long

for all sorts of solid food. 1 think / would

permitted to go to the table for con-
vaescents / ordered salt mackerel and po-
tatoes. 1 had them before me when the

toned to an attendant and told him to take

CLEVELAND, o., Sept General Man
ager Schuler, of the American Steel and
Wire Company issued an ultimatum to the
strikers at the American mill to-day. in
which he says: 1--WE are going to run this
mill and we are going to run it full before
long. The jobs are there if they want them
and if they do not they must stand aside
and see others take their places. The Amer
lean Steel and Wire Company is paying
more than its competitors for drawing wire
and the scale will remain as it is. We will
not compromise; we will not receive COM
mittee of the strikers, neither will we sub
init to arbitration"
The strikers show no sign of weakening
and claim to be more sanguine than ever

he tells a deliberate falsehood
Now what are the facts about Camp
WiAofE? The camping ground was selected
because of its healthful location; healthsul
above that of any other location within the
knowledge OF the government at the time
it was selected. If there is a spot in the
United States that is especially free from
malaria and fevers of all descriptions Camp
Wikon is that spot. That was the opinion
of experts when the camp was selected.
and nothing has occurred since the camp
has been occupied to challenge that opinion,
Notwithstanding the fact that some men
are trying to foist themselves into public
recognition by inveighing against it. The
wafer procured from the wells sunk near the
camp mas stood the test of the most scien-
tlflc chemists in the country. Ii is on the
ocean. whose breezes day and night can
not lall TO 1nVlgOrate sick and well alike.
People have grown so hysterical that they
can be made 10 believe almost anything that
may De said these days without much re-
hectlon. If they would only stop 10 think
they would know that the men who are af-
nlcted with typhoid and malarial fevers
brought the germs of the disease there from
other camps. This is so plain statement
OF facts tnat l am surprised that any sane
person can read with any degree of pa
lence anything to the contrary. Yet they
seem to read such stuff and believe it, too
Every few days l receive letters from
different sections of the country condemn
ing me for my ignorance and neglect in the
performance of my duties. and consigning
me, when | die to clmes that are hotter
than this. l am daily deluged with clippings
from newspapers in which l am held up
to the execrations of the world. Some of
them | read and investigate as to the facts
alleged. Nine times out of ten I find the
facts grossly exaggerated. Now il is plain
that if the surgeons at Camp Wikoff ne
glect necessary sanitary precautions, as
they did at Camp Thomas, the same condi-
tons will unquesticnably arise as arose
there and at some other points throughout
the country. The sinks must be kept disin-
fected and filed up; the water supply must
be kept uLcontaminated. and every possible
care must be taken to keep the men and
the streets of the camp clean"

NAVAL PRIZE MONEY.
american COnsuIs Abroad Should
share in the Distribution.

w. w. Canada formerly of this State and
now consul at Vera Cruz, Mex, has pre-
sented novel idea with regard to naval
prize money in a letter to Senator Fair
banks. He calls attention to the fact that
the consuls of the United States very fire.
quently heard rumors concerning the move
ment of Spanish war vessels, which they
promptly dispatched to the secretary of
war. This information often enabled the au-
thorities at Washington to communicate to
the naval commanders information that en-
abled them to make prize captures. Mr..
Canada suggests that in such cases it would
be but fair for the consuls giving such in
formation to participate in the distribution
of prize money. The consuls were often in
great peril, spent long hours of anxious
watching and went to considerable trouble
at times to verify rumors. Senator Fair
bank VIII place the suggestion before the
proper committees when Congress meets.
