A Vigorous Protest.

A dispatch from Manila, via Hong Kong,
says: Chief Surgeon Woodruff has sent a
vigorous protest 70 the War Department
through Gen. Otis against the inadequate
force. equipment and accommodation of
the hospital service at Manila. He declines
further responsibility for the health of the
army unless the improvements he recon-
mends are adopted. Gen. Otis himself
refused Surgeon Woodruff permission to
make any alterations in the hospital serv-
ice. Twenty per cent. of the army is sick
either in hospitals or in quarters and the
doctors and nurses are worn out with ex
ira duty. The chief ailment is dysentery,
which is largely the result of the heavy
army rations served, being the same as
given to our soldiers in Alaska.

Fatal Consequence of a Speech.


One day in the spring of 1865 mid
dle-aged manliving in the southern part
Of Ohio came TO me in Il state of great
excitement, asking me to intercede in
behalf Of two men who were to be
hanged at Camp Chase the next day.
lie explained that the men under sent
ence were ignorant rustics, who in re-
sisting the draft had fired on and
killed a United States marshal. They
had been arrested, tried, and sentenced,
and he waited to secure suspension
of sentence. He had explained that
some months before he had made a
speech in the neighborhood in which
the prisoners lived and becoming very
much excited had advised the people
to treat the marshals and their posse
as they would a mad dog. This speech,
he feared, had been accepted literally
by the ignorant men in his audience
and murder resulted.
He felt that he ought to surrender
himself to the military authorities and
assume the responsibility for the crime
committed by the men under sentence
He made his explanation, but the exc
cution could not be stayed. The men
were hanged, with the man who had
melted them to violence as a witness.
As the two young fellows stood on the
scaffold in their black gowns, they
spoke, each a few words, saying In sub
stance that had they rightly under
stood the matter they would never
have committed murder. Every word
they said was like reproach from
the grave to the man who stood beside
me. He watched his victims to the
last. but be went home a stricken man.

pYNAMITEe BOMB USED.
Strikers Hurl Explosive Onto Roof of
Street Railway Barn.

A dynamite bomb was thrown upon the
roof of the Big Consolidated Street Rail
way Company's barn at Cleveland early
Friday morning. \ Jagged hole two feet
square was torn in the roof. A ear, which
stood directly beneath the hole, was
wrecked. The widest excitement pre-
vailed among the men in the barn. The
explosion was heard for blocks and hun
dreds of people were attracted to the
scere. Many Of the windows in the big
barn were shattered by the explosion.
The shock was such as to cause the
ground to tremble and it seemed for a
few moments as though the barn itself
would fall.
An immense amount of minor damage
was done by mobS under the cover of
night. Hardly street traversed by Big
Consolidated lines escaped. Lawless
crowds were actively destroying trolley
wires and feed wires and placing all
kinds of distractions on the tracks. Po-
lice Director Barrett stated that troops
would doubtless be called out to suppress
mob violence.

lyn were open Friday morning, and cars

Sherman and Mason had their haver-
sacks full Of bread, supplied by friend
ly negroeo along the route. After they
had fed the tired soldiers they con-
ceived the idea of having each of the
negroes carry a short stick over his
shoulder. Then they marched along
the track in single file, Sherman in the
van and Mason In the rear. Mason and
Sherman had guns, while the short
clubs of the negroes resembled artillery
from a distance. About IL O'clock in
the morning they noticed band OF
guerrillas, about sixty in number,
about 400 yards distant
The guerrllas arranged themselves
alongside fence, and their leader COM
manded them to come over here and
give yourselves up" Sherman replied
in Il defiant tone, directed his men to
go through the manual of loading and
firing at will, then to jump to shelter
behind the railroad embankment.
Sherman and Mason were armed with
rapid firing carbines and returned the
guerrillas' fire from behind the EN-
bankment. The guerrillas had ordinary
shotguns and rifles and their shots rat
tied harmlessly around the railroad en-
bankment behind which the party was
lying. There was no air stirring and
the smoke hung low, thereby obscur
ing the guerrillas from Sherman and
his men.
They kept up rapid firing, however,
and the guerrillas, becoming alarmed.
retreated In haste. The party resumed
their march to Germantown, where
they joined Colonel Merrilrs command.
At that place they learned that six
Union soldiers had been killed by guer-
rillas that morning, after the former
had surrendered on a promise of safe
