The Chattanooga Times puts DIR.
Nicholas Sem, the Chicago physician
who has been giving much aid and COM
fort to the yellow Journals who have
been Attacking the war department., in
a most ridiculous light.
In an interview given September 1,
Sem claimed he had warned the Wash
ington authorities before the soldiers
were sent to Chickamauga that the
place was not At for a camp. that
typhoid fever was bound to come, but
that his protests had gone unheeded.
The Times draws the deadly parallel
on DR.. Sem, and prints side by side
with his late interview, a signed letter
printed June 10, in which Sem declares
that Chickamauga Park is admirably
adapted for a large camp; that 1T con-
tanned shade which would furnish pro-
lection from the burning rays of a semi
tropical sun, and open fields for a drill
ground. He then declared that the sup
ply of pure water was ample. that ma
laria had nearly disappeared from that
part of the country. and that the troops
were in excellent condition as regards
their health.
This disposes of Sem. Before he can
get any further hearing, he must in
form the public as to when he told the
truth, in June or in September.-Cedar

endorsements for Dewey.

The War and Navy departments are
perfecting plans for a demonstration in
force at Havana and the powerful re-cn4
forccments of Admiral Dewey. In Cuba
q strong military demonstration is to be
made to check any disturbances that may
follow the evacuation Of the island, and
the re-cnforccmcnts for Admiral Dewey
are made as a precaution against any trou-
bic in the Philippines with Germany.
Three brigades are under orders to be
ready Oct. 20 to sail for Cuba. The. in.
tent;on of Gen. Miles is to make the first
detachment 5000. His plans are that the
three brigades shall compose the First di-
vision Of the army of occupation. The
brigades designated arc made up us fol-
lows: The Seventh and Eighth United
States cavalry. to be commanded by Brig.
Gen. L. II. Carpenter; the Fifteenth Unit
ed States infantry and the Fourth United
Suites volunteer infantry, to he commando
ed by Brig. Gen. Snyder: the First Unit
ed States infantry, by Brig. Gen. =. B.
Wiliiston. These will be followed from
time to time by detachments to fill out
tho $4,000 intended for the garrison Of the
island.
This carly announcement of the destina-
ton OF troops for Cuba is due to the fact,
not heretofore stated, that the President
has sent the Spanish commission an ulti.
matum that the authorities in Washing.
ton would not tolerate a delay in evacuat.
ing the island to Feb. %, as had been
contemplated by the Spaniards. The Pres
ident considers Oct. 20 a reasonable time
and will begin the peaceable occupation
then, and will occupy 1t by force il he ID
resisted.

Private letters bring Jews Of most
important discoveries made by Ger
man archaeologlsts excavatins on the
site of the ancient Priene, in Asia Min
or, opposite the island of Samos. Years
ago IN English expedition excavated
and studied the Temple of Athena, the
chief sanctuary of the city, built at the
order Of Alexander the Great. The
work was then abandoned and mean
while the ruins have been SO thoroughly
exploited and wasted by the neighbor-
Ing population that nothing is left but
a confused heap of stones. In 1895 the
work of exploring the ruins Of the city
was resumed, this time by Germans.
under the direction of the Berlin mu-
scum and at the expense of the Prus-
Sian government. The architectural
work has been placed in the hands Of
the young architect Wilhelm Wilberg,
a former student and assistant Of DIR.
Dorfeld.
The work has now proceeded far
enough to determine its extraordinary
importance. A buried city preserved
ia the completeness of Pompeii is com
ing to light. Up to this time no Greek
city has been excavated that gives any
clew to the arrangement of streets, pub
lie squares, monuments. and public
buildings. or to the architecture of any
considerable number of private houses.
Here we find n city, to be sure of the
Hellenist:c period, laid out with great
regularity. with streets crossing at
right angles, with shops, colonnades,
market places, theaters, council-house
and a great number of private houses
preserved in such completeness as to
display their general architecture, dis
trfbution of space, use, decoration and
equipment.
South of the great square of the tenn.
pie alluded to above, and closely adj
Joining 1t, has been found the great
market place or agora of the city, which
was surrounded on all four sides by
broad %colonnades. of which that on the
north side was peculiarly noble and
stately. Adjoining this ut n end, and
opening n small square building o
structed somewhat like q theater, which
was evidently the councll-house of the
city. 1t is m%arvelously we'll preserved.
Sixteen rows of seats are still in place.
The walls. doors, windows. platform.
etc, are all preserved. One of the side
walls ends in a massive arch. which, rs
being demonstrably a work of the
fourth century B. c., must rank as the
earliest, OF Mt least one of the few
earliest, specimens of the arch in Greek
construction. The whole building rep
resents something entirely unique in
the relics of Greek architecture.
There has also been found n small
theater in which the stage structure,
the skene, is still standing entire.

Gov. Tanner,s speech.


Governor Tanner opened the Repub-
lican campaign in Illinois with a speech
at Golconda. The address is local in
dts tenor and is devoted mainly to what
Republicanism and Democracy mean
in Illinois. Governor Tanner is in a pos
ition to speak with knowledge and au-
thority rs to the outcome Of the last
Democratic administration, and he re-
views in detail the management Of the
state finances and the state institu-
lions. His summing up Of Altgeld's
so-called Cuisines administration"
expressed in figures, is $022,O41 plum
dered and stolen by Altgeld appointees,
$1,532,6S7 borrowed money, and ST.
059,225 treasury deficit. AS a cam
paign argument there is a multiplicity
Of details and a directness of state
ment which will keep Altgeld busy
in answering during the entire cam
paign and for some time after. AS to
the national issues involved in the late
war, the governor is sound and takes
a position which will be Endorsed by
Illinois Republicans. Our flag has
been hoisted in distant and strange
places, and we will keep it there; bar
barism has made its conquests in the
past, why may not the spirit Of hui
manity and civilization claim some of
the waste places of the earth? If mon
archy and aristocracy can partition At
RIGA and China, why may not a peo-
pies republic, with it's free institu-
lions, go forth and in the spirit of uni
versal humanity place its shield over
the homes and lives of the millions
who have been downtrodden? Why
should not new lands be opened to
American trade as we'll as to the trade
of the nations of Europe?" This is
