SAN FRANCISCO Aug. 30.-Joseph Mat
thews, surgeon in charge of the division
hospital at the Preside, says that since the
removal Of the troops to Camp Merriam the
health of the men has steadily improved. He
denies that typhoid fever is epidemic, the
cases being confined to few companies.
Surgeon Major ]. A Rafter, of the TWEEN
tieth Kansas, is pleased with the new quar-
tiers of the volunteers. He calls attention to
the fact that there are only forty-nine sick
in the regiment now against POI on July 16,
when the men were at Camp Merritt. The
experience of the Twentieth Kansas is
typical of that in the Fifth Iowa and First
Tennessee. In all these regiments there has
been a marked decline in the sick list since
their removal to the Preside. General
Miller says the death rate is not high, only
twenty-five soldiers out of 10000 having died
from natural causes during August.
The Red Cross home for convalescents
will be opened in few days in charge of
Miss Laura McKinstry, a young society
woman of this city. The Oakland Red Cross
Society has established a hospital at Pied
mont across the bay from this city.

CHINA GOING TO PIECES.
Home Office Admits the Facts and
ScOIds England.

PEKING, Aug. 3O.-A high member of the
Tsung- Li-Yamen (Chinese Foreign Office,
who is British sympathizer, complained in
the course of a recent interview that Great
Britain's assurances of support against
Russian aggression were belated.
Why" asks this functionary, withhold
such declaration until Russia has secured
Port Arthur and France obtained considera-
bic concessions in the south. The disinte-
grafton of the empire has begun; and to-
day the necessity for strong action is less
urgent than when Russia first obtained a
foothold."
He admitted that China had broken her
promises to England; but this, he argued,
was because Russian pressure was, too
strong to be resisted He complained of
British ignorance of Russia's line of &C.
tion," end asked why Goes not England
approach Russia directly with declaration
that Russias interference in China will be
regarded casus beli? 1t is useless to
punish helpless China and to participate in
the disintegration of the empire. The Tsung-
Li-Yamen prefers that British influence
should be paramount, but it is unable to do
anything unless England helps, with sword
in hand"

a physician VINO attended the other cases
which have occurred there. This additional
case, however is not considered at all
grave, as the source of it is traceable.
