The Power of the Press.

''The power of of the press is COM
mon expression, but few really realize
its actual power. Deep thinkers do not
hesitate to assert that half the crime of
our country may be traced to this source.
But great as is the influence of the press,
it cannot begin to equal the power of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters over di-
sease. Most diseases originate in a
weak stomach. The Bitters strength

and cures constipation 1t will tone
up the nervous system and stimulate
inactive kidneys. AS an appetizer it is
unequalled. 1t cures sick people, and
an occasional dose regulates the bowels
and prevents we'll people from becom-
ing sick, If you want to get we'll, and
keep well, use Hostetter's Stomach

The question of hospital accommoda-
ton in anticipation of the needs of the
enlarged army in the islands has been
settled by the adoption of General
Otis recommendation that additional
hospitals be constructed Of bamboo
and hospital tents erected. a report
just received from Colonel Woodruff
describes the hospital accommodations
existing at Manila at this time. The
first reserve hospital has been increas-
ed by the use of tents so as to accom-
modate 1.5OO beds. The second re-
serve hospital is located in a seminary
building and has accommodation for
$50 beds, with supplementary wards in
n Spanish barracks for provision for
$50 cases and a possible 800. At Cor
regidor island, 30 miles from Manila,
there is convalescent hospital which
under favorable conditions will accom-
modate % patients. In addition to
these hospitals, the hospital ships Mis-
souri, and Relief. now on the way to
Manila, are TO be held there and con-
verted into floating hospitals. having
an aggregate capacity of COO cases.
They will be In charge of 4 trained
corps OF medical officers and nurses.
The preparations made by the war
department contemplate provision for
5000 sick and convalescent, these be-
ing considered ample to meet all re-
quirements after the opening of the
campaign. Medical supplies by the
tons iave been shipped on the trans
ports, and, though 100 tons on the
Morgan City proved a complete loss,
the order was Immediately duplicated
in San Francisco. and the supplies are
now on the way TO the Philippines.
For the troops in the field an increased
corps of hospital men has been order
cd. There are now in the Philippines
nearly 1000 hospital corps men, and,
with those on the way and under or

1000 before the beginning of HOSTILE

feel obliged to assert that what Rear
Admiral Sampson said was wholly
true, and n reDuted interview from
General Shafter which | have noticed
shows lack OF recollection on his
part.
The letter was drafted en- July 6 on
my own motion after had asked Gen
eral Shafter if he were open to sugges-
tions. He said he would be glad to
hear any suggestion from me. and aft
er reading the letter said he would
sign it without any change.
However, before submitting the let
ter to General Shafter, l showed it to
Lieutenant Commander Staunton, as
sistant chief of staff. who had accom-
panied me ashore. He suggested n
slight change in one paragraph, which
adopted. l retained the original
draft. which was roughly written in
pencil, and my wife has it as Il memen-
to Of the campaign.
II can distinctly recall. since the
matter has been brought up, the cir
cumstances which attended the writ
ing of the letter. l found General
Shafter sitting in his shirt sleeves and
his feet in slippers. He complained of
not feeling well, and seemed much de-
pressed. l remember that he referred
to the large numbers of men lost at FL
Caney and San Juan Hill. and from the
tone of his conversation l concluded he
had no definite plan of procedure map
ped out.
General l asked. are you open to
suggestionS?'
Certainly he replied.
Suppose l said. 4 write n letter
to General Toral, stating the situa-
ton plainly
"'Do so,' he replied. evidently pleas
ed with the suggestion.
"Then l drafted the letter, as have
told. 1 handed it to General Shafter.
who read it carefully. and declared
himself satisfied with it. He called to
Lieutenant Colonel AIiley. his chief of
staff. and asked him to have it type
written. l pointed out that General
Toral might regard a typewriter let
General Shafter acquiesccd and had
the letter copied.
ut should he clearly understood
however, that the letter which wrote
and General Shafter signed was tech
nically his letter. He simply adopted
it's phraseology and sentiment as his
own. had no intention of ever saying
anything whatever of my connection
with the letter. and the matter had
dropped from my mind until recalled
by Rear Admiral Sampson"

LETTER TO GEN. ToRAL.
Capt. Chadwick Says He Wrote
It and Shafter Signed It.
RECALLS THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

Tells of Going Ashore and Meeting
General Shafter, Who Seemed De-
pressed He Appeared Pleased Mt
the Captains Suggestion and Had
Letter Copied and Forwarded With
out Change.
Rear Admiral SIMPSONS recent as
sertion that Captain T. E. Chadwick
wrote the letter which induced General
Toral to surrender Santiago has awak-
ened much interest in army and navy
circles. Friends of General Shafter
have criticised Rear Admiral Samp-
sons assertion as an indirect attempt
TO rob the army of credit. and they
have intimated that his version of the
matter was Incorrect.
Captain Chadwick, when seen the
other day on board the cruiser New
York. said:
81 deeply regret that any cOntrover-
sy has arisen from Rear Admiral
SIMPSONS remarks, which were made,
l have no doubt. with the sole object
of saying something pleasant about me
in n community that had just honored
me with n sword. How the remark can
be construed into an attempt to detract
from the credit General Shafter gain
ed during the Santiago campaign 1
cannot see. am positive that Rear
Admired Sampson had no such inten-
ton.
Naturally I am sorry the letter TO
Genera! TOral was ever mentioned, but
since a question of fact has arisen 1
