The work Of providing hospital
corps men and trained nurses for the
enlarged Philippine army continues
to give the medical department some
concern. Surgeon General Sternberg
is awaiting a cablegram from Major
Woodruff, chief surgeon at Manila, as
to how many nurses he will need and
the number of hospital corps men re-
quired for the additional regiments.
A statement prepared in the Office of
the surgeon general shows that there
are now at Manila and on the way
th ere, exclusive Of those entitled to
their discharge, 957 hospital corps
men, stewards and acting Stewards.
Of this number 854 are privates, IS
are acting hospital stewards and 50
are stewards. These figures include
IA privates to 60 to Manila on the
steamship Missouri from New York,
and "a go from San Francisco on the
Relief. The total number Of privates
assigned to the Philippine service and
in the Philippines is 1914, but it is
figured that $50 are yet to be dis
charged, leaving 854. Each Of the
ten regiments now organized and
under orders to sail for the Philip
pines has sixteen hospital corps men,
making an additional go. According
to the calculations Of the medical
officers Of the War Department, it
will De necessary to have an aggre-
gate Of two thousand hospital corps
men ready for the service when the
fall campaign opens. At this time
nearly one thousand Of these remain
to be enlisted. Special efforts are be-
ing made to secure good men for this
service, but the recruiting is pro-
crossing very slowly, owing to the
desire to enlist in the volunteer in
fantry regiments.

The European demand for the
American apple is unprecedentedly
large this year. It will exceed that Of
last year by total of 1927, 1857 barrels,
and this means much, as the American
crop will only be from one-balf to
three quarters of what is usually
looked upon as full crop. Apple

MANUFACTURERS CANNOT MEET
CONTRACTS.

Cottonyarn manufacturers are
having, in their way, the same kind
of a boom as are the producers of pig
| iron. They are overwhelmed with
! contracts, are quoting prices which
| equal those at which similar goods
! an be imported, and are refusing, in
many instances, more orders than
they have booked. Never before has
| this branch of the textile business
/ been in such a condition as it is today,
nd, notwithstanding the fact that
the spinning machinery is geared up
to run at the fastest speed, and every
mule is made to operate at its highest
te nsion, the supply is far from ade-
quate to meet the demand.
At the American Cotton Yarn Ex
change, through whose mediumship
t he product of several mills is dis
tributed to the various weaving, knit
ting and other concerns, it was de-
cIared that it was impossible to get
enough yarn from the spinning mills
to satisfy the requirements Of the
so pushed for goods as they are now"
said Manager Sanford in aninterview.
eve are getting inquiries all the
time, but we find it impossible to
place orders for certain grades,
notably combed yarn, at any price or
terms. Quotations have been put up
from time to time, but this seems to
have no deterrent effect upon pur-
chasers. Customers who hesitated
few months ago when placing an or
der for thousand pounds have con-
tracts now which warrant their order
ing ten and twenty times this
amount
Chow do I explain it? Well, in the
first place this country has been going
through period Of depression, dur
ing which people bought as little as
they could of anything but the bare
nee essaries Of life. Now, everybody
has been employed just long enough
to give them start. Old bills that
we're contracted during months of
enforced idleness have been about
paid up, so that the wage earners
have some money to spend upon
articles that they have been buying
very sparingly for SO long. Again,
I attribute good deal of this demand |
for the finer grades of yarn to the |
i'm petus which the tariff on fine dress |
goods, hosiery and underwear gave |
to their manufacture here. The |
s chedule relating to these, as we'll as |
to the yarns that entered into the |
of such goods, was /
fir AIMED upon scientific principles, and |
is having an effect which [ think
ought to satisfy the most ardent adj
vocates of home production. The |
man ufacturer has risen to the occa-
sion and is producing fabrics every |
whit as good as those made abroad,
and in fact I know of instances where
colt goods made here are marked
with a foreign label in order to cater
to the prejudice Of some buyers who
are not yet convinced that American
goods are quite equal to those brought
from abroad. These goods resemble
the latter SO closely that they cannot
be distinguished from them and leave |
no excuse for patronizing the foreign
m anufacturers, except in the buying
of the few novelties which are pro-
duced each season, but which appeal
to a limited number of buyers at the
most"

Sunday tragedy was enacted Sunday
morning at the little village of Middle
burg, in one corner of Logan county.
Mrs. Rachael Austin and her son Aus
tin were murdered in their home and
their bodies were burned in the house
where the deed was committed. Ernest
Austin, the youngest son of the widow,
is lying at the home of neighbor with
bullet wound in his chest, from which
he cannot recover. The crime is openly
charged against Ernest, but he states
that he was called to the door by rob-
bers, who, after shooting him, looted
the house, murdered his mother and
brother, and covered up their tracks by
burning the house. He reached neigh
boris house in his night clothes, and has
since been unable to talk. It is alleged
that the family has been quarreling
much of late, and the story is not be-
lieved by anyone who is acquainted
with the boy. -.. 81. -.4

Washington. May %. IT is be
lieved that whatever difficulty has ex-
listed as to the disposition of the vveap-
ons held by the Cuban soldiers has been
removed by the action taken by Secre-
tary Alger Saturday He has instructed
Gen. Brooke to begin at once the Dis
tribution of the $4,000 .G00 set aside for
payment of the Cuban soldiers. being
entirely satisfied with the provision
made by Gen. Brooke for the safe keep
ing of the arms that must be surrren-
dered by the Cubans in consideration of
receiving a share of the money
There has been less correspondence
on the subject of late between Score
tary Alger and Gen. Brooke than has
been generally supposed Last Wednes-
day the latter cabIed the war depart
ment that he proposed to begin the pay
ment of the money to the Cubans. the
arms to go into the custody of the
mayors Secretary AIger did not reply
to this as it concerned n matter in
which the president himself had given
instructions.
Saturday Gen. Brooke was again
heard from, this time saying he saw in
the press reports that the secretary of
war did not approve of the plan he had
formed He explained that all of the
arms surrendered were to be deposited
in the arsenal at Havana and the ar
senal at Santiago. This statement
changed the case completely. for the
arsenals being in the possession of the
United States the requirements of the
presidents condition were fully met by
the proposed arrangement
Therefore Secretary AIger, after sub
hitting the matter to the president
cabIed Gen. Brooke to proceed immedi-
ately with the payment of the money to
the Cubans.

SWEPT BY FIRE.
Flames Destroy Property Worth 49,.
100000 Mt Dawson City, Alaska
Buildings Burned Number HI.

Victoria, B. c., May 22.-The main
portion of the city of Dawson was de.
stroyed by fire On April &c, causing a
loss of $4,O00,00O. In all III buildings
including the Bank of British North
America, were burned. The news was
brought down by L. 8. Hume, a son OF
Mayor Hume, of Seattle; J. TokIas and
a third party who left Dawson On Apri
q and made their way out by canoe to
Lake Lebarge and then over the ice
having most perilous trip.
The fire consumed everything from
Timmons' Royal cafe down to opposite
the Fairview hotel, this building be.
ing as dry as finder. The flames spread
with such rapidity that the citizens ap-
peared panic stricken and unable to
save anything in the way of furniture
goodsa and clothing. The fire was caused
by drunken woman upsetting Iamu
in notorious house.
The fire came at time when the mills
and dealers in building materials had
depleted their winter supplies, and
were waiting the opening of navigation
to replenish their stock The result is
a famine in all kinds of building ma
terra! and furniture, such as sashes,
doors, locks, hinges, etc. The few ar
ticles still remaining outside of the
burned district have quadrupled in
prices. Doors are selling for S35 each,
door locks, eight dollars each, and
everything else in proportion. Nothing
in the way of rebuilding can be done
until the opening of navigation, several
weeks from now, as there is not over
5000 feet of lumber in the place.
About $1,Ooo,ooo in gold and paper
money is said to have been lost by the
two Canadian banks, the freproof
vault of the Bank of British North
America having belied it's name. There
is a probability, however, that much of
the gold will be recovered, for before
the ashes had time to cool the manager
of the bank secured miners to search
them.
