NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-A Camp AL
ger (Va) special to the Herald says:
Surgeons in charge of the Division
Hospital at Camp Alger are now pre-
pairing their monthly report on the con-
dition of the hospital. The report will
show an alarming increase Of sickness
over the previous month. During the
four months of it's existence the hos
pital has treated 2131 patients, of
which almost one-half were received
within the last thirty days. On the
records typhoid intermittent fever and
rheumatism appear again and again.
Rheumatism in its various forms has
attacked thousands Of young men. The
men were never taken to the hospital,
but lay sick in regimental quarters or
In their open tents and were reported
sick in quarters"
If a complete list Of those who have
suffered from ailments from which they
may never fully recover were made
perhaps more than half Of the prtvates
in the camp would be included. The
rheumatic troubles have been caused
by the long stay in one of the lowest
plats of ground in all Virginia, where
thick fogs at night hang over loamy
soil that is never dry. Men once
stricken with this ailment are subject
to intermittent attacks all the rest Of
their lives.

typhoid fever. My protests went I'M

was in Porto Rico with General Miles.
Almost the first men sent him were
from Chickamauga. They were run
down and half sick when they arrived.
They were limo condition to stand the

noted their weakness and l told him
the cause of 1t. / asked him to notify
the Washington authorities and have
the Chickamauga camp broken up. de

the place followed.
II want to say that bad as Chick
amauga was. this place will soon be
far worse Within three weeks all the
disease contracted in Cuba will be
cured. After that there will be no sick
ness in this camp, except what Is in

be vastly greater than it is now. The
men with sickness will die from the
typhoid fever which viii inevitably fol-

horror camp worthy to rank with the
Infamous pest-holeS of the Civil War"
Camp Wikoff is to be investigated.
General Wheeler has ordered General

eral Kent's staff, to conduct an investi-
cation. He is given almost autocratic
powers. General Wheeler has ordered
him to get at the bottom of all the

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Aug. 80. -
The efforts Of Warden Hale to discover
the persons who have been smuggling
opium into the prison have resulted in
an important find. It is now believed
by the authorities that only a small
quantity Of the drug has been carried
through the gates by the convicts
themselves, and that the major portion
obtained by the prisoners has been
through the medium of the guards.
The facts have been ascertained from
admissions of certain of the guards.
During the last few days four con-
victs were released and the tale told
by one of them shows that the red room
discovery, chronicled exclusively in
The Call, led up to the more important
one, duplicating several of the guards,
and, it is said, one official in a higher
position.
When Hefferman was caught with
the opium under his pillow" said the
informant, The tried to square himself
with the official by squealing and gave
the names Of several guards and one
higher official implicated in the Snug
CLING"
This talk of his has created bitter
faction among the convicts in the jute
mill. One of the guards admitted,
Wnen questioned, that IL was common
talk around the prison that several
guards were under suspicion, and one
official in higher position as well.
II have heard on good authority he
asserted, that one Of the suspected
men went to the warden and explained
his connection with the affair, saying
he wished to show that the story about
him was untrue. The higher official has
been here only short time, and in the
opinion of the boys generally should
have known better than to get into
such mess"
Warden Hale is very conservative in
his admission about the affair, and
shows plainly his disappointment that
the story should have leaked out. He
had concluded his Investigations.
1T is true" he said, that certain
men are under suspicion now, and that
several have been discharged because
1t was believed they had engaged in
opium smuggling, though not recently.
1 cannot give any names because my
suspicious are not founded on any tan
gible evidence. 1 am working hard in
the matter and hope to discover the
guilty parties before long. No guard
has yet visited my office to make any
explanation, and I believe the quantity
Of opium now in the prison to be
small -

SICK LIST IN PORTO
RICO Is INCREASING

PHILADELPHIA, Aug, 30-The
yacht May, which arrived in this city
to-day from Porto Rico via Newport
News, brought the report of the repre-
sentatives Of the National Relief Com
mission-ex-M Minister to Italy William
Potter, William Van Rensselaer,. Louis
Z. Vanuxem and DR.. G. G. Graff-who
went to Porto Rico to superintend the
distribution OF the supplies sent to the
sick soldiers by the commission. The
May, which was loaned to the Govern
ment oy Mr.. Van Rensselaer,, left this
city on August and reached Ponce.
Porto Rico, August. Following Is the
report:
In almost every instance we found the
army surgeons most anxious to have at
their disposition money for the purchase
OF needed Injuries for the sick, such as
fresh milk, Ice when obtainable) and
canned goods, and we are happy to re-
port that In every case we have been able
to meet the demands made upon US.
There are about 5000 American soldiers
in Porto Rico, and on the day of orr de-
parture, August %, there were over 100o
men on the sick list. OF this number one
half were cases requiring prompt and
careful treatment There was large
number of typhoid cases, but on the 23d
inst. this disease was not on the increase.
q 1act whlcn indicated that the malady
had been carried from the camps at home
and is not Indigenous to Porto Rico How
ever, there was very large increase in
diarrhea. dysentery, dengue or break
bone fever and malarial disorders due to
the hot. unhealthy rainy season Just com
mencing, which causes the water supplv
to be filled with malarial germs from the
constantly decaying vegetation.
All medical authorities with the army in
Porto Rico agree that the sick list is in
creasing and that an alarming condition
may be expected unless the War Depart
ment promptly arranges barracks for the
army Of occupation and Immediately pro-
yides additional transports (the hospital
ship Relief being insufficienO to remove
such of the sick men as can be safely
transferred home, the convalescents and
those enervated by climatic changes. 1t
is impossible for men from a northern
climate to recuperate in a tropical coun-
try during it's most unhealthful season.
In conclusion. we are glad to report that
we reached Porto Rico with our medical
and hospital supplies just at the time
when they were most needed.
Attached to the report is a letter
from General Miles thanking the COM
on behalf Of the army for
the supplies and for q big consignment
of American flags; also letter from
Colonel Greenleaf expressing thanks
for the gift OF an tce.mahng machine.

ton that such expense be paid by sub

An amendment that proved successful
and received the appreciation Of the entire
convention was that relating TO having

of having this tax collected in equal in

members of the finance committee closed
the afternoon session.
In the evening reception was rendered

No. SO of the Young Ladies' Institute. An
interesting and well arranged programme

memorable by those directly in charge.

The amendment to regulate the per

ton, to have the next Grand Council held
that the annual session of 1899 will be held

day brought in a verdict of death caused

treatment, that the bed on which he lay
was foul and that he saw no nurses about
Ralph Fallon testified as an eyewitness
that while Mcpherson was unloading
lumber from a cart at the mines a heavy
timber fell on him. Abe Ryan gave tes-
timony of a corroborative nature. Dr. H
S. Hill Of Livermore, who made an au-
topsy on the dead mans body, testified
that he found a fracture of the pelvis
and an injury to the bladder. In his

Plague Spot Unless Broken
Up in Six Weeks.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Medical off,
GERS at Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point,
DENY there have been deaths at the
camp hospital from yellow fever. The
two men, whose death here yesterday
was said to be attributable to the dis
ease named, were, according to the sur
Reons in charge, victims Of pernicious
nalarial fever. which those unfamiliar
with yellow fever frequently diagnose
as the latter Dr. Nicholas Sem, assist
ant surgeon general. U. 8. A, is quoted
as saying to-day at Camp Wikoff:
"In justice to the camp, l want to say
that almost none Of the sickness among
the soldiers up to the present time and
none Of the deaths have been due to
the conditions which now prevail here,
or have prevailed in the past. Sickness
has been almost entirely limited to fe-
yers contracted in the south, and the
death rate would have been much more
than now had the men remained in the
south instead of being brought here.
1.-THE only sickness which can be at
tributed to this camp is dysentery, or
lesser troubles, which may have been
caused by the change of diet or water.
so far none of the fevers have been
indigenous to the camp, but If the men
remain they will certainly be attacked

water.
..To make this place healthy we
should have a system of drainage
which would carry away all these
germs. but to build such would cost a
large sum, owing to the extent Of the
camp"
DR.. Sem was asked if he had brought
his views to the attention of the sur
geon general at Washington.
1T have not done so in regard to
Camp Wikoff," said he. My protest
In regard to the other camps have
passed unheeded. In regard to Camp
Wfkoff I have written an article en-
bodying all my views, which was print
ed in a medical journal over my sigma
ture, and will be reported to the au-
thorities in Washington, I am sure.
Then will be asked about and empha-
size my opinions. I want you to reiter-
ate that unless this camp Is cleared out
within six weeks 1t will be the worst
infected place in the United States. The
soil will be permeated with typhoid fe-
yer and epidemics will follow. 1t will
be worse than it has been at any time
at Chickamauga.
In regard to that camp want to say
that I warned the Washington authori-
ties before the soldiers were sent there

quality of contemporary French
craftsmanship.

from the army, and above all else
their intense spirit of envy. He
knew with what consummate power
the genius of craftsmanship can play

even one wing of an army in opposi-
