that he is dead is a pretty general

MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA
Medical Record.

Medical Record.
The account Of the researches of
Surgeon Major Ross in the matter OF
an extra a%nthropic host of malarial
plas- medium, read by DR.. Patrick
Manson in the section on topical dis
eases OF the British Medical Associa-
ton, and contained in II special re-
port OF the Edinburg meeting, is one
that cannot fail to interest Il read
ers everywhere. Not only is the sub
ject Of malaria one of perennial con-
Germ to practitioners IN many parts OF
the United States, but the method
pursued by this patient worker, and
by which he achieved such brilliant
results, is an example of what a truly
scientific investigation should be.
DR.. Ross did not content himself
with the observation that there was
no malaria in certain districts where
mosquitoes do not bite-shreWd
guesses based upon such condolences
had been made by Marchiafava and
Manson years before Koch gravely
announced the theory as his own
but he followed the plasmodium in all
its evolutions and its travels through
the body Of the mosquito. 1t is true
his studies were, for several reasons,
made with the %plasmodia to birds,
but the results may be fairly applied
to man, and we have as a result the
actual demonstration that, in what
ever other ways malaria may enter
the human body, n way at least is
through the proboscide of Culicidae.

Just fifty years ago the United

Mexico, laurel crowned heroes, were
stationed at West Pascagoula, Miss,
under the command OF Gen. David

that time a candidate FOR president OF
the United States, being elected in
November, 1913. A military ball was
by the officers at the time. Gen. Tay'

teers, who are to be reckoned with as
well as with the additional men the
Spanish commander might be able to
impress from the male population
Of tHe island. With total force Of
all arms of some 81 900 or $1,000, it is
not7doubted than an American force OF
$4,000 or 10000 with the help of the
fleet, will be able to take the island.
1t is not betrayed that there has
been any change in the plan TO haYe
General Brooke lead the Porto Rican
force, as Shafter did that to Santiago.
General Miles, as the general COM
manding the army, is expected To be
in supreme command, however, with
General Brooke next to him, and TO be
made military governor OF the island
after IL has been subdued.
1t is thought not unlikely that the
army Of invasion may have harder
time landing on the north coast OF
Porto Rico than 1t had on the south
coast Of Cuba, The Porto Rico coast
line has few of the inlets such as that
at Daiquiri, and there is no harbor
near San Juan like Guantanamo to
furnish a refuge and coaling base for
the feet. The landing may be made
at Ponce, where the defenses are
said TO consist chiefly Of some very
fine mountain howitzers on the hills
back OF the town. The shelling OF
San Juan itself is expected TO be a
comparatively easy task, II IL becomes
necessary, as town would be more
easily reached, by tbe big guns OF
the fleet than Santiago.

Plans Perfected to Take the Great Sugar
Land.
New YORK, July 13.-A special to
the Times from Washington says:
The movement of the American
army on Porto Rico may be SAID to
have begun. No troops have yet left
these shores openly consigned to the
island, but the continued forwarding
of additional troops to Santiago, when
it is recognized that Shafter has as
large an army as he needs to take that
town, is in reality the laying Of the
foundation of the Porto Rican ex-
peditionary force.
The determination of the war de-
partment to send a formidable force
to capture sPorto Rico has been
strengthened by the resistance made
by the Spabiards in Santiago. An ef-
fort will be made to avoid the mis-
takes of the Santiago campaign. The
expedition to go against Porto Rico
will consist of between %, 200 and 3d.
600 men. According to the Spanish
army register for 1898 the total
strength Of the Spanish regular forces
in the island of Porto Rico is 1919. or
these 5214 are infantry, 1872 artillery,

AMERICAN SOLDIERS.

Our Soldiers Are the Best Troops
in the World.
WAsHINGT N, July 13.-Msjor De-
Grandprey, military attache of the
French embassy, has just returned
from the American headquarters Gear
Santiago, where he has been observing
for his government, the progress of
the military operations. He paid a
glowing tribute to the ability of our
soldiers:
81 haYe the most complete admir-
alton for your men," said Major
DeGrandprey to an Associated Press
representative today. "They are a
superb body individually, and as an
srmy, and 1 suppose that not through
out the world is there such splendid
lot of fighting men. They are aggres'
siye, eager for action, never needing
the voice of officers TO push them
forward.
"Another marked characteristic is
the self reliance of each man, what
call the the character of 'initiatiye',
1t is almost unknown in European
armies, where every movement and
move, to meet each action Of the
enemy awaits the initiative Of the
officers, The Spanish troops do not
have this same characteristic. They
are more passive, more cautious.

NAVY WILL SHELL THE CITY.

NAVY WILL SHELL THE CITY
American Soldiers Will Take the Re.
treating Dons.
OFE AGUADoREs, July 13.-The
navy have solved the problem Of how
to take Santiago a city four and a
half miles away, and concealed from
view by range OF hills 25O feet high
at its lowest part?
The problem has been satisfactorily
solved. Ii the army hereafter never
fires shot and meekly guards the
roads, The ravy could make Santiago
untenable, II indeed, it did no6 dc
stroy it in few days.
For two days the sea has been
calmer than usual and a splendid op
portunlty was given for good guunery
practice.
In pursuance of General Shafters S
request, Commodore Schley, Rear Ad.
miral Sampson being absent at Guam
tanamo, at O'Clock Sunday afternoon
arranged the Brooklyn, Indiana and
Texas within 500 yards of the shore,
at point almost due south of the
city of Santiago, and distant little
over four and half miles. The ships
were about mile apart. The army
signal men were on the beach opposite
the ships and also on the crest of the
hill, overlooking both ships and city.
These men wigwagged the results of
each shot, telling the gunners if the
she'll was aimed too high or low, or
not in line.
Sundays practice was good, but it
was better Monday. when the fire was
opened by the New York, which re-
turned from Guantanamo during the
night. The New York, Brooklyn and
Indiana were the ships which partici-
pated in the shelling this morning.
Each shot was carefully calculated,
and the wigW ags signalled from the
shore to the ships where each shot fell,
and notified the gunners If they had
the proper elevation. The ships ran
out their big guns on the side op-
posite the firing guns, in order to OBJ
tain the desired list to port or to STAR
board.
General Shafter signalled about
noon "that some of the shells fell in
the bay and some in the city. The
latter do not appear to do great
damage"
Comment on this subject was
changed Immediately by message:
"The last shot struck st. Nicholas
church, where powder was stored,
blowing up the same and doing great
damage"
Not gun was fired by the Span
iards. Four shells, during the bonn
bardment, lgnited fires in different
parts of the city, proving the feasibil-
ity of burning the place by using the
guns of the fleet alone. Death must
have come to many in the city by rea-
son of the shelling.

WAR TAX STAMP.
Assistant Attorney General Boyd's Opin-



ion.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-In answer
to inquiries from the collectors Of in
ternal revenue, all bearing upon the
question as to whether the shipper or
the carrier shall pay for, and atfix the
required revenue stamps to bills OF
lading, Assistant Attorney-Gener
Boyd has held as follows:
"The law makes it the duty of every
railroad aud steamboat company, car
rier, express company, corporation or
person whose occupation it is to carry
such, 10 issue TO the shipper, from
whom any goods are accepted for
transportation, a bill Of lading, a
manifesto or some other acknowledge
ment of the goods, received for car
raige and transportation, and this bill
of lading requires revenue stamp Of
the value of l cent. The purpose of
the law is clear. 1t ,was to tax the
corporation and not the shipper, and
the provisions undoubtedly fix upon
the express companies and other cars
riers the duty of providing, afixing
and cancelling the stamps"

Possibly she has passed seventeen

her. Grace and charm Wed with one
another and the sincere and simple
elements so blended together that in

She had her palm read by Prof.

Court and Liberty streets, He told
her of her genius, of her magnificent
prospects the brilliant career that was
awaiting her. Then she spoke.
She has spent three years in Europe
under masters there, and leaves shortly
to finish her course and then to begin
her career.
"She is "a brilliant" said the palmist,
not noticing the SOC that had been
laid Cd the table. "a brilliant, de,
