SANITARY PRECAUTIONS.
Surgeon General Stcrnberg Issues
Instructions.

Surg. Gen George NJ. Sternberg has is
sued a circular of instruction TO medical
officers giving directions for obtaining
the highest sanitary conditions in camp
life. In Cuba our army Will have to
contend not only with malarial fevers
and the usual camp diseases. typhoid fe-
Yer, diarrhoea and dysentery. but they
will be more or less exposed in localities
where yellow fever is epidemic and under
conditions extremely favorable for the
development of an epidemic among unac-
climated troops.
When practicable the surgeon generals
circular says, camps should be established
on high and well-drained ground that has
not previously been occupied. They
should be changed to fresh ground every
ten days or oftener. Sinks should be dug
before a camp is occupied. or as soon
after as practicable. All kitchen refuse
should be promptly buried and perfect
sanitary police maintained.
Troops should drink only boiled or fill
tered water and coffee or tea (hot or
cold, except where spring water can be
obtained. which is pronounced by a medi-
cal officer TO be wholesome
Whenever a case of yellow fever &C.
ours in camp the troops should be prompt
ly moved 10 a fresh camping ground
mile or more from the infected camp.
No doubt typhoid fever. camp diarrhoea
and probably yellow fever are frequently
communicated to soldiers in camp
through the agency of flies.
II il can be avoided marches should not
be made in the hottest part of the day
from 10 to p. m.
When called upon for duty at night or
early in the morning a cup of hot coffee
should be taken.
IT is unsafe to eat heartily or drink
freely when greatly fatigued or over
heated. Ripe fruit may be eaten in
modera ton, but green or over-ripe fruit
will give rise to bowel complaints. Food
should be thoroughly cooked and free
from fermentation or putrefactive
changes.
In decidedly malarious localities from
three to five grains OF quinine may be
taken in the early morning. but the
taking of quinine as a routine practice
should be recommended only in excep-
tional circumstances.
Light wooden undertaking should be
worn. and when soldiers clothing o.
bedding becomes DAMP the first oppor-
tunity should be taken to dry it in the
sun or by fire.

Grand-"Cubas Vow"

At the Grand Opera House last night
the attraction was "Cuba's Vow" a
piece which is saved from failure by the
suitable time at which it is played and
the goodness of some OF the acting. The
play itself is badly overgrown in its dia-
logue and needs pruning. The really good
acting of Miss Teresa beagle. as Cuba :
OF Miss kathlyn Davenport, as the ad-
ventures, Dolores; of Leander Blanden,
as Lieut.. Grant, and of J. Fitzpatrick
as Bill Anthony, was occasionally Grip
pied by the long speeches which they
were obliged to make. and as for Mr.
Blondell. who interprets the part of Ma
GEO. If the ghost of that general was
anywhere about he must have wondered
first, why his impersonator was so fair
of complexion; and. second. why he talk
ed so much. Every heroic or viIIainous
action from the beginning to the end of
the production, had to be prefaced with
dialogue expressing sentiments noble or
otherwise, and the result is a long play.
in which the action is clOgged and i'm
peded by the conversation.
The scenery is all that could be de-
sired, some of the effects being unusually
fine; and the lights were managed with
skill. The supers, however did nos re-
ceive equal care, the same lot of men
playing the parts of Cuban guerrillas
under Maceo. and American sailor boys
on troop ship with scarcely any change
in makeup. There is a very long wait
between the fourth and fifth acts, which
does not add TO the effectiveness of the
play, although the orchestra rendered
various patriotic airs in way that set
the audience cheering vociferously. Even
Speaker Reed could not have kept the
house in order when the band played
Dixie" and when IT came TO 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner" the audience rose to
its feet and gave vent to its feelings in
the most pronounced manner.

OF new scenery adds much to the atmos-

Criticlsing Our Army.

All this criticism Of one branch OF the
military service by the other is in the last
degree mischievous and foolish. 1t can
do no possible good and may do an in
fnity of harm. 1t is unpatriotic, dis
creditable and senseless. When the war
began the navy was ready for immediate
service, but we had no army. What we
called our army was little more than a
national constabulary-less than twenty
five regiments of 900 men each. 1t was
not to be supposed that we could enlist
equip, organize, discipline and mobilize
one hundred thousand men in less than
two months. We have been fifteen years
getting our small navy. Surely we might
have been allowed as many weeks to
create and set in motion a large army
There is no warrant for criticism of the
army by navy officers. We venture to
say that, when the history of this war i:
made up, it will be found that the army
and the navy will stand on an equality
as regards courage, devotion and achieve
