INVESTIGATION IS ORDERED.
Medical Officers at Camp Thomas Ac-
cused of Negligence.


An investigation has been ordered of
the charges of negligence made against
the medical department at Camp Thomas.
Orders have been sent to Gen. II. V.
Boynton to find out what is the real basis
of the many complaints as to conditions
at Chickamauga, and who is to blame.
If the report of Gen. Boynton fixes the
responsibility the party or parties named
will be Immediately brought to trial by
court martial.
Surgeon General Sternberg says there
has been more sickness at Chickamauga
than in any other camp. The investiga-
ton under Gen. Boynton will be far
reaching, as the natural surroundings at
Chickamauga were such as is thought TO
be conducive to health. Notwithstanding
the practice during the civil war of keep
ing men in one camp continuously only
for about a week and of putting them to-
gether in numbers not to exceed a division,
10000 men have been crowded together
in Chickamauga for about three months.
The inquiry will proceed upon this
basis: To discover why protest from
Surgeon General Sternberg has not been
Forthcoming against such an unheard-of
disposition of troops for so long a time.
The percentage of fever cases will be
compared with those of other camps, and
the number of nurses and doctors will be
noted, and if not found to be sufficient,
such finding will be embodied in the re-
port. Complaints from there have been
so clear and pronounced that it is thought
the root Of the evil may be quickly found.

WAR SEEMS NEAR IN CHINA.
Demands Are Made by the
British Minister.

Authoritative advices received in Lon
don from Pekin say that relations be-
tween the Chinese foreign office and the
British minister are strained to the point
of breaking. Sir Claude Macdonald has
intimated that Great Britain will regard
as cause of war any failure on the part
of China TO observe her wishes.
The situation between China and Great
Britain has plainly reached the acute
stage. The question now seems to be
how far Russia is encouraging the resist
ance of China to the British demands.
Sir Claude Macdonald strenuously insists
that China shall observe her various en-
gagements with British syndicates to the
letter, and demands satisfactory explana-
tions with regard to the Pekin-Hankow
Railway. The British feet, now assem-
bled at Wei-Hai-Wei, will support the
British demands if necessary.
On the other hand, there seems to be
considerable evidence that Russia will not
back China to the extent of war, but will
make an amicable arrangement with
Great Britain for division of the spoils.
The foreign office says that the negotia-
tions which Sir Charles Scott. the British
ambassador. is conducting at st. Peters
burg, for the purpose of defining the re-
spective British and Russian spheres of
influence in China, are proceeding in a
perfectly friendly spirit.

BLAME THE OFFICERS.
War Department Chiefs Deny the
Charges of Mismanagcment.

War Department Chiefs Deny the
Charges of Mismanagcment.
The bureau chiefs of the War Depart
ment who are charged with incompetence
or neglect in failing to provide the army
with necessary comforts and proper med
ical attention are charging that the cru
SADIE against them is wholly without foun-
dation, and that the newspapers are en-
gagged in wholesale lying about them and
about the condition of the men. They in
sist that matters are nowhere near as bad
as stated, and that the privations COM
planned of are the unavoidable incidents
of every war. Quartermaster General
Ludington deposes that the men had all
the clothing they wanted and the right
kind of clothing and superabuIdance Of
blankets and tents. Commissary General
Egan declares that the soldiers had more
food than they could possibly use, and
that if it was not always available the
fault was in every instance due to the
failure of the men themselves to take it.
He insists that he should not be held ac-
countable for the ignorance of the Off
GERS in not knowing how to get what was
coming to them and their men. Surgeon
General Sternberg proclaims sturdily that
he bought medicines enough for every
body and that if they did not get where
they were needed it was not his fault.
Secretary Alger and all his bureau chiefs
say that no complaints of inadequate pro-
vision for comfort or health were made
officially, and the Secretary adds that he
did not know of existing lamentable con-
ditions until his attention was called to
the facts by the newspapers.

HENRY ENDS HIS LIFE.
Confesses Forgery of the Letter Which
Accused DreYfus of Treasnn


Lieut.. Col Henry of the French army,
who was one of the principal accusers OF
Captain Dreyfus, killed himself in Paris
twenty-four hours after his arrest for for
gerry and perjury. He cut his throat with
a razor which he had concealed in his va.
lise when taken to prison.
He had confessed that he forged one of
the letters upon which Dreyfus was con-
vlcted. The letter purported to reveal
secrets of the French Government. and
Dreyfus was accused of being in the pay
# Germany. Henry admitted TO the
minister of war that his testimony in the
Zola-Dreyfus trials was false. His con
fesslon was so complete that it virtually
upsets the entire case against Dreyfus.
and the Government has virtually promis-
ed new trial. Henry's only attempt to
justify his conduct was the statement
that he thought the honor of the French
army required the conviction of Dreyfus.
Col. HenryNwas to be tried by court-mar-
tial.
Col. Henry was attached to the War
Department when he helped by his for
gerry and perjury to convict Dreyfus, and
he was one of the prominent witnesses
who testified unfavorably TO NJ Zola dur
ing the latters sensational trial on the
charge of libeling military officials. The
victory for Zola is an unqualified one. The
French public is already convinced that
Dreyfus will soon be free.
The Government, although refusing to
reopen the Dreyfus case, has kept up a
persistent inquiry in secret. and finally
obtained evidence connecting Henry with
the forged letter. When the proof was
sufficient he was brought face to face
with the minister of war, and soon made
clean breast of his guilty connection
with the Dreyfus case. The Government
is trying to secure more complete evi-
dence against other army officers who are
suspected Of completely with Henry
Major Esterhazy will be retired from the
army on account of his connection with
the scandal
During the recent Zola trial Henry ac-
cused Col. Picquart of falsifying tele.
grams. A duel followed. in which Henry
was wounded. The next scene occurred
in the Chamber of Deputies, where Col
Picquart proclaimed the letter which con-
victed Dreyfus forgery, and as result
was arrested. while Henry's vilainy was
rewarded By his being appointed Col. Pie
quarts successor in the intelligence de.
partment.
1t is now evident that Henry forged the
letter with the express object of paralyz
ing Col. Picquart's efforts to expose Maj
Esterhazy and to get a revision of the
Dreyfus case. The letter was written in
bad French, fact which first led to its
being regarded as spurious.

Famine Causes Suffering,

Owing TO the failure of the harvests in
seven districts of the Government of Ka-
zan. Russia, and in the provinces of Sa-
maria, Saratof, Simbirik, Niatka and Per-
ma, where the crops are almost worthless
and even the landed gentry are beginning
TO ask the Government for relief, the
Government is adopting measures TO re-
lieve the sufferers. The distress. how
ever, is becoming more acute every day.
The peasants are denuding their cottages
of thatches in order to feed their stock.
In spite of all that can be DONE cattle and
horses are dying in great numbers. The
Government officials are slow in getting
the relief measures into effect and the
only relief thus far has been the granting
of permission TO the peasants to gather
fagots in the woods for fuel and TO col
lect dried leaves for fodder. The peas
ants are exhausted from lack of food and
unless the promised supplies are speedily
sent the suffering will be terrible.

Washington correspondence

Facts of the most sickening character
continue to flow in upon Mortified people
In reference to the number and condition
of the soldiers in the various camp hos
pitfalls throughout the country. 1t is i'm
possible to deal with the subject in detail,
SO widespread is the evil and yoluminous
the story Of suffering and horror. 1t is
remarkable that some of the most horrible
of these details should come from the
camps situated in the heart of the States.
From the following table Il faint idea
may be had of the extent of sickness and
suffering among the soldiers. The tabula-
ton is by no means complete and cannot
be made SO until compiled from army rec
ords, but is made up generally from the
reports received from the camp hospitals.
Thousands of whom no record now exists,
or ever will exist, have gone to their
homes on furloughs and ere being cared
for there. Hundreds of others are arriv-
Ing almost hourly in the hospitals and
camps of the North from Cuba and South
ern camps. Following is n partial list:

ALGER IS INDIGNANT.
Says Conditions of Military Camps
Have Been Grossly Misrepresented.

says conditions OF Military Camps
Have Been Grossly Misrcpresented.
Secretary Alger is indignant at the wan
ton misrepresentation of the conditions
st Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, and at
the indiscriminate charges made against
the department by people who take no
pains to investigate. To Washington
correspondent he said that the talk of eX-
Secretary Sherman is an example Of reck-
less assertion without investigation, for
A1r. Sherman spent week at Amagan-
sett, only dozen miles from Montauk
without going near it, but he returns to
Washington talking about the horrors Of
the camps and the necessity for investi-
cation and impeachment. Secretary AL
ger says that the loss of life in battle and
from disease is much less than was esti-
mated by the most conservative authori-
ties, when the army was sent into an enc
my's country, and to place about which
little was known, except that it was re-
garded as one of the most unhealthy spots
In the West Indies. This army was
brought home as soon as it could be.
Montauk Point was selected as deten-
ton camp for recuperation. 1t could
easily be isolated and safely quarantined.
Secretary Alger says that the camp, hay
ing been established for this purpose, will
of course be abandoned when all the San
tiago troops are able to leave and be mus
tered out Of the service. But the report
that it will be abandoned because of its
unhealthy conditions is false, for the camp
is in q very healthy location, and men
who come from the transports sick with
fever and go into the hospital are dis
charged in a few days in comparatively
good health. All the sickness at Mon
,auk is brought there from Santiago, and
Secretary Alger says it would be as rea-
sonable to call the finest hospital in the
land unhealthy because all its inmates are
invaldS

FavorabIc Features Continue to Dom
mate the Trade Situation.
Bradstreet's sums up the business situ-
alton in this way: Business conditions in
the main reflect the continuance of most
OF the favorable features hitherto doni-
mating the trade situation in the more
favored sections of the country. Proml-
nent in this direction, of course, are the
iron and steel allied industries, in which
active demand, present or prospective, has
led to further price advances, sustained
and even increased activity in distribution
at most Western markets, with some I'M
provement likewise noted at the South
and on the Pacific coast, steadiness in
prices-wheat, corn and cotton, however,
excepted-a reduced number of business
failures, fair gains in railroad earnings as
whole, and bank clearings, in spite of
slight reduction from last week, showing
gains over all corresponding periods in

CRITICISED BY SHERMAN.
Former Secretary of State Says In.
vestiGation Is Needed.

The interview with John Sherman,
charging neglect and mismanagement up
on the War Department, created no end
of sensation in Washington. 10 another
interviewer he recited some of the criti-
cisms and spoke with deep feeling of what
he termed ''monstrous mismanagement."
He added:
''The whole story is too horrible to talk
about, and there can be no possible ex-
cuse offered. I cannot undertake to say
what individual authority is responsible,
but the facts themselves are monstrous,
and whether the fault lies with officers in
the field, those in the department or the
Secretary of War himself, the response
bility should be fixed and the person re-
sponsible should be severely punished.
1T was known that there was to be a
battle; our army was sent there for that
purpose, and it was nothing short Of GRIM
inal to neglect those necessary prepara-
tions for the care of the wounded and sick
and to provide for the sustenance of the
army.
AN investigation should be had at once,
and an example should be made of those
responsible"

SERIOUS UPRISING IN CHINA.

kwang-Si Insurgents Are Preparing
to Attack City of Canton.
The Kwang-Si rebellion in China, which
has been quiescent for some time, shows
signs of serious recrudescence. The rebels
are in great force fifty miles northwest of
Canton and are preparing to attack the
city. Tan, the viceroy of Lang-Kwang,
protested against the surrender Of
Kwang Chow to the French, and when
the foreign office insisted upon the surren-
der Tan telegraphed his resignation to
Pekin and handed his seals of office to the
governor of Kwang-Tung. The viceroy
Of Canton, having failed to dispatch troops
to suppress the rebellion in Hainan and
protect the American missionaries, the
United States consul AZ Canton has made
strong representations to the acting vice
roy reitera ting his demand for the prompt
suppression az the general disturbances.

BICYCLES Will BE No Cheaner.

A special from New York says that BIZ
cycles are not likely to be any cheaper
next year. Indeed, manufacturers may
advance the prices, although the chances
are that the various grades will remain at
the same figures as they sold for in 1898.
A corner is reported on the tubing mar
ket, and the price of tubing has been rails
ed by the syndicate controlling a large
quantity of the output. On ordinary
wheels the advance is such as to be felt
more by the maker than by the purchaser.
1t is not quite enough to bring about q
radical advance in price, and yet suffi-
cient to increase the cost of making a BIZ
cycle. The advance in tubing will hit the
smaller manufacturers harder than the
big concerns, and it is not improbable that
some of the smaller makers will be crowd
ed out of business. 1t is claimed they are
responsible for cutting the price Of BIZ
cycles, and this is to be their punishment

oUTRAGEs IN GUATEMALA.
People RObbing and Doing Personal

The worst case is that of Trinidad Noga,

Guatemalans that they wanted to buy
horses, and he accordingly crossed the
line with large number of horses to meet
Gen. Barrilas, who seized his animals and
had him beaten. This outrage caused
much indignation. Other similar actions

BoMBARDED WITH KISSES.
Admiral Sch1ey Retreats Under q
Feminine VO1ley.

When Admiral Schley visited the Navy
Department the other day he expected to
shake hands with his old friends and
knew that he would be warmly congratu-
lated, but it is doubtful if he was pre-
pared for anything like the demonstration
that took place. Brave Lieut.. Pearson
Hobson was kissed by st. Louis girl at
Long Branch, but Schley, the old hero of
Santiago, who never lost his nerve when
Ceryera's men were pouring volley after
volley into the fleet, found himself cor
nered-fairly bottled up-in one of the
corridors of the department by regiment
of fair women clerks. He withstood the
bombardment of kisses for something like
five minutes, and now and then found
time to shake the hand of an old hero like
himself here and there. And then he did
something he never did before-retreated
under fire. The kisses were too much for
him, and he found cover in Captain
Crowninshield's Office, where he met Il
number of army and navy officers, who
were gathered there to pay their respects.
