disposition to treat the reported ac-

spain's Financial Troubles.
The statement from Madrid, in what
seemed to be almost semi official form,
of the acuteness of the financial strin-
gency there, and the plain intimation
that the Bank of Spain, and consequent
ly Spain, were nearing the end of their
financial resources was regarded at the
state department. as of more real sig
nificance than many of the stories Of
battles on land and sea that have been
coming over the cables for the past few
weeks. The effect of this notice may be
to hasten the operations against Puerto
Rico, lest the prize slip from our grasp
through sudden and unexpected ter
miEation of the war.

SORRY PLIGHT OF SPAIN.
Serious Financial Condition Gives
the Government nn Much Unenst-
ness az Docs the War.

Madrid, June 2.--The attention of the
public Wednesday is absorbed in the
condition OF the Bank of Spain, which
is considered more serious than any re-
verse of the war, inusmuch as the i'm
possibility of the bank to help the gov
eminent means impossibility TO con-
tinue the war.
There was long procession at the
bank during the day. All classes of
people were represented, and many
women were in line waiting their turn
to change notes into silver, fearing the
notes would soon be subject to dis
count.
If the run continues there is danger Of
the banks stock of silver becoming cx-
hausted, which would compel the gov
eminent to resort to a forced currency,
Issuing notes Of small denominations
It is hoped, however, hat the panic will
subside, leaving the bank margin Of
silver.
Washington, June 2.-Sccretary of
the Treasury Gage, commenting upon
the run on the Bank of Spain, said:
THE condition of Spain ut sea and on
land. in war and In finance. continues to
grow worse daily. ! am not surprised that
the present condition conrronts the Bank
OF Spain. In endcavoring to support tho
y government. II has undertaken tro-
mendous contract. Tho bank must con-
ttnuc specie payments or IL will be entirely
discrcdited; and unless 1t does continue
them the Spanish financial fabric will go
topicces. Spanish bonds Will fall still lower
and Spain will be in far more serious con-
dttion financially than she has ever been.
To-day's developments Indicate that the
Spanish people themselves are alarmed at
the financial condition Of the country.
They evidently fear that the bank will not
be able to carry out its plans. II its own
bank should prove to be an unsteady f1nan-
cial prop. Spain will. indeed. have immense
difficulty in raising the slncws of war;"

operations to read They would discover that SICK
ness is a constant attendant on an army any
where and under all conditions. One or the most
striking cases was In 1909 when the British sent an
army Of about forty thousand men to the Nether-
lands where they were stationed at Walcheren'
place where A previous army, about lHO. mad sur
fered severely from sickness. The second army
was attacked by fever and dysentery like the first
and with similar destruct.veness In two months
after landing 1926 the sick list. In ninety
seven days more than 12GO were sent home SICK
and in less than four months only 1900 effective
men left On the first of the following rep.
ruary there 500 the sick list and l5op
had been lost disabled. Between January ana
June of 1910 Sc. 900 were admitted to the hospital
and 5000 than 20 per cent died.
And so Il goes through every war. II the un-
