sick consisted Of hard crackers and
canned beef One of the District vol
unteers who was on the Leona said his
wounded arm had remained undressed
for seven and a half days. The water
was unfit to drink until the ship reach
ed Newport News.
The only explanation Of this neglect
of reasonable care for the wounded
that does not involve gross careleseness
and inhumanity is that in the lack Of
proper hospital ships and supplies, and
also of surgeons and nurses, it was
thought better to subject the wounded
to some discomfort rather than keep
them in Cuba.
But on the heels of these complaints
comes another. from the Porto Rican
expedition. On the hospital ship Lam
rasas. at Guanica. are a number Of Red
Cross nurses. They have appealed to
General Henry to be allowed to return
home with the sick. because of the ter
rible state of things on the vessel. They
say it is overcrowded and the supplies
exhausted, and that the situation grows
worse every day.
Nothing. then, has been learned from
the experience at Santiago. With the
knowledge of a lack of system and an
insufficiency of hospital supplies there,
the medical department has allowed the
Porto Rican expedition to go without
better equipment. Somewhere there is
gross inefficiency, il the report from
Guanica be correct, and the wounded
and sick are its victims.

1t is thought the only possible obstacle

More Hospital Ship Complaints.

When the Seneca reached New York
with her burden of wounded from San
tiago, loud and bitter were the COM
plants of neglect and inefficiency The
transport was in a filthy state; there
was a single surgeon to care for more
than four hundred green wounds, not
all of which had been carefully dressed,
and there was a conspicuous lack of
ordinary hospital supplies. This was
said to be accidental-the result of
great haste. Surgeon General Stern
berg explained that the fault was with
the commanding general, as far as he
knew, for selecting such a vessel and
for placing the matter in the hands
Of two inexperienced contract surgeons.
After all that has been said about 1t,
II is almost incredible that the offense
should be repeated.
The men who came from Santiago in
the transport Concho, which arrived at
New York on Sunday, report the same
bad conditions that were complained Of
In the case of the Seneca. Too many
wounded and sick soldiers were crowd
ed into narrow quarters; there was a
scarcity of food; the water was con-
taminated and unfit to drink: there
were not enough doctors and nurses,
and the hospital stores were made

many now and then, unraveiing the
various meanings of the language.
This is not on account Of the way in
which it is put together in the gram
mar, for a real German will handle
those complex sentences of German
literature in a way that is the envy and
admiration of all Americans. He b.

but the American has to sit down and
pick them out with a map and a
pointer. Even then some of them get
lost, like the State of Rhode Island in
a dissected map of the Western Hemi-
sphere. 1t is no wonder the Germans
are scientifically exact and orderly:
they have to be or they would get lost
in their own language and never get
home. At least that is the American
view of 1t. but the German says that
there is nothing hard about his dialect;
it is English that is hard. and he would
like to know how we ever tell the truth
in this country, when one-half of the
population always guesses and the
other half always reckons.
There is nothing hard about German
conversation to a German = except
when it is complicated by a Kaiser.
They have just finished Strengthening
out a tangle that he made, in a court
at Dirschau. Some time ago Kaiser
Wilhelm used the expression Water
landlose gesellen'-meaningf fa.herland-
less or unpatriotic fellows. This struck
the Conservative deputy of Dirchau
as a good, lively expression, and the
next time he became indignant with five
Liberals he said 1t to them-told them
that was what they were, men without
a country. in fact. They brought suit
against him for libel The lower court
was inclined to be lenient, and held
that the defendant had not meant any,
thing unkind. The five Liberals ap-
pealed. The higher court sided with
them, quashed the findings of the lower
court. and informed the deputy that
the words embodied gross insult and
that he. as an educated man, ought to
have known 1t. So he was fined and
depressed in spirits. The next time he
quotes the emperor he will get a die
tionary first and look up the expression
to see whether it is entirely proper for
a common man to use.
This occurrence sets one thinking.
What should wetdo If there were such
a law as that in the United States? II
it were libelous TO call an individual "a
man without a country" what would
the New York Sun, and, in fact, very
nearly the whole press Of the country,
do when It was necessary to speak of
Godkin?

KILLED By A LIVE WIRE.
Accident to nm Unknown Philadel-

boardwalk near Tennessee Avenue. last
evening. a young man, supposed to be
from Philadelphia, whose identity is un-
known, was instantly killed. The young
man had discovered that the wire was ig-
hitting some woodwork, and took Police
man Mark Lacy to show him its dan
ger. He bent down Immediately under
the wire and Lacy called to him not to
stand up. but the warning was too late.
for just at that moment he arose to a
standing posture and struck the wire
with his face. He fell dead Immediately.
The young man was about twenty
three years of age. five feet six inches in
height. dark-complexiOned and with
smooth face. He wore a brown check

w.,nwrtrht and the Maine.

Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
seems to be one of the men enabled to
get their dearest wish in this war with
Spain. As everyone will remember. he
was executive officer of the Maine when
she was blown up, and although he did
not say much about 1t, his one purpose
since that time appears to have been
to wreak vengeance on the Spaniards.
He refused all shore leave during the
rest of his stay in Havana Harbor. and
said to a friend that he would never Sc;
foot on Cuban soil again till he had
avenged his ship. One by one the
Maine officers went back to Washing
ton. but Wainwright stayed. Il shall
be present" he said during that waiting
time, when We collect damages for
this, and 1t isn't going to be at the end
of a lawsuit, either"
One of the stories told Of Wainwright
is that on the day when the last
wrecker left port. Admiral Manterola
ordered the Spanish guard to haul
down the Stars and Stripes, as the
United States had abandoned the wreck.
Wainwright was told of this. He eafd:
Tell the officer in charge of the
guard that If any Spaniard touches that
flag, thereH be another wreck in the
harbor I'll sink his barge myself il he
tres to carry out The order" And
little later he. himself, hauled down the
faded flag and came away.
When the Spaniards thought to in
spire terror of their power in American
hearts by the dastardly act Of destroy
ing the Maine, they made one of the
worst mistakes in their history. 1t iS
a mistake which has cost them two
fleets. much territory, and many SOL
diers. besides all their reputation among
the nations of the world.

This rule should be enforced to the

way to do 1t is to keep the cars apart at

the weight but the vibration caused by

Hazleton. Pa, Aug. I-For the past

Now comes statement from the mining
officials that they have simply been pre-

You can see," said one of the officials.
closely connected with the operators.
this increased time is entirely due TO
the ACTIVITY. of the United Mine Workers.
The operators have learned from reli-
able sourse that big strike is to be inau-
gurated in the Lehigh region about Sep
tembeI 10, and in order TO be fully pre-
pared for it, the collieries are working
steadily. and will continue to do so until
September On the aforementioned date
the miners will ask for reduction in
powder. as well as an increase in wages"
"will the operators grant any conces-
sionsT
"As near as 1 can find out. no conces-
sions will be granted. and if they insist
on the demand and strike follows, the
collieries will be Closed down."
From another source 1t Is learned that
a demand for a reduction in powder has
already been made on the Leh;sh Valley
Coal Company's officials. But the request
will not be granted.

College Station, Nd, Aug. 1.-State
Entomologist W. G. Johnson has sent a
circular letter from his office at the
Agricultural College to the, principal
wheat growers of each county in the
State. In reply he has received some in
teresting data regarding, the wheat crop.
He says:
THE average yield for the entire State
twenty-three counties. is a fraction more
than twelve bushels per acre This in
comparison with the average yield for
ten years past, is about three-fourths of
a crop. The average for the entire north
ern tier of counties. including Montgom-
cry. is IA 4-10 bushels per acre, while that
of Washington, Frederick. Carroll, and
Montgomery alone is l6 bushels.
"On the Eastern Shore, Cecil. Kent.
Queen Anne's and Talbot together yield
16 1-2 bushels. In the five counties south
of Talbot the yield is slightly more than
S1-2 bushels, while the four southern
counties on this side of the bay average
S1-1O bushels. The average yield by
counties is as follows: Washington lead
ing with Il $40 bushels: Garrett, IL: AL
leghany, 13: Frederick, 16 2-l0: Carroll. 13:
Hartford. l3 $40: Baltimore. il 81; Mont

Dorchester. 9 $40; Wicomico, $40; Wor-
cester. 10; Somerset, Z: Caroline. ..
1.-The shortage of the crop is due to the
Hessian fly, which was very abundant
and destructive to the early sown wheat;
secondly. to the wet spring. accompanied
with unusual cold weather in April; third
ly, to the drought, which prevailed during
the latter part of May and June. and
fourthly, to the attack of several fungus
diseases, prominent among which were
rust. smut. and a new disorder known
as septoria."
