Surgeon General Bternberg has received
a cablegram from the director general Of
the army medical service Of Great Britain.
asking him for three hundred copies Of a
publication called "Sapitary Lessons Of the
War" If this numhsr could not be OBJ
tanned the director general asked authority
to reprint the publication for the purpose
of distributing it among the medical officers
Of the British army. The publication was
read at the meeting Of the American Medi-
cal Association at Columbus in June, 1899.
1t deals with the sanitary condition of
camps, hospitals and management of ev-
erything pertaining to the medical depart
ment of the army during the war with
Spain. The Significance of the request by
cable is in the preparation that is now
being made for a possible war in South
Africa, in which Great Britain will be

CANNOT BE ACCEPTED.
The Offer of Organized Bodies to En-
list for the Philippine War.

Naval officials state that the reported
proposition from the Cleveland and Toledo
naval reserves, to send men to the Philip
pines cannot be accepted by the navy. 1t
is pointed out there is no law for the en-
listment of naval volunteers. and that the
only way in which the Toledo and Cleve-
land bodies could get into the United States
naval service would be by enlistment as
sailors, in the usual way. 1t is thought
probable, however, that application may
be made to the War Department. The Ohio
naval militia was part Of one of the in
fantry regiments during the Spanish war.
But it Is said there will be difficulties in
such military service at the present time,
as the War Department is not taking or
ganized bodies but is making enlistments
in the regular way for service in the Phil
ippines

The Report on Richards Case.

The State Department has received the
long-expected report on the case growing
out of the arrest Of American citizen
named Richards in Guatemala, and his de-
tention by the Guatemalan government un-
der circumstances involving great personal
indignity. Aside from the question Of ar
rest, the case has assumed added interest
from charges made by Richards and his
relatives in this country that Minister
Hunter, our representative in Guatemala,
was Indifferent and not sufficiently ener-
getic in protecting his rights as an Amer
lean citizen and securing his release Until
the authorities have time to go over the 0e-

He told Star reporter that he took great
personal pleasure in denying the report
of his death, which report. in some mys-
FERROUS way, obtained general circulation
in military circles yesterday. So far as
he Is aware the only basis for such a
ridiculous report, is the fact that he was

an ailment which necessitated the use of
hyperdermic injections. Lieutenant Harri-
son looked the picture of health, and bore

The commissioner Of internal revenue
has Informed collectors of internal revenue
that there is no law for the remission of
fines imposed for the non-afixing of stamps
through inadvertence after the expiration
of twelve months from the date Of issue
Of the document. But as the law manifest
ly did not contemplate the collection of
heavy fines where no willful intention to
defraud the government existed, collectors
are instructed In such cases not to enforce
penalties after twelve months have elapsed.

NO PROPOSITION MADE.

Italian Government First Wants Lou
isiana Lynchers Punished.
It is said at the State Department that
the report of the probable settlement of the
recent Italian lynchings in Louisiana on
the basis of 5000 indemnity is incorrect,
as no such proposition has come from the
Italian authorities or is under consideration
by the department. The last word from
Count Vincl, the Italian representative, was
to the effect that the Italian authorities
we're chiefly interested in having the guilty
parties punished, and until action in this
regard was taken there was no basis for
any other steps.

Fleming, member of the Fourteenth

The writer is brother of Oscar Glenn

at Belknap. He writes encouragingly
of the situation over there and says
the boys are we'll treated. His letter
follows:

Friend Fred: AS it is SO sultry out
in the sun, will take a few moments
and write you few lines, informing
you where I am. As have not seen
you for some time, ! suppose you are
the same old Fred, for you may be
sure am old Jesse, a soldier.
I have been here for the past three
weeks and my health is good. AS for

cept the sun is so hot down here. I
Just came off guard about 80 minutes
ago, and am perspiring like a drowned
rat.
am having good time, to be sure,

ing line fighting hard, as the Four
tenth always fights.
General Lawton and his troops have
been fighting for the last four days.
There was terrible bombardment ON
HE 18th and 18th, from the gurboats
out in. the bay. They were moving
down 'sniggers" like cutting hay, but
sftersthe fight there seemed to be just
as many insurgents as there were be-
fore-there were thousands of them.
There were about 2,100 arms cap
4ured and quite a lot of ammunition.
This is the only fight where much has
been captured. There were also sew.
eral insurgents captured. OF the Amer.
ican troops there were two companies
of the Twelfth infantry, who were cut
up very much. The boys had crossed
river and charging on the insurgents
ran out of ammunition. They retreat-
ed with great slaughter.
Night before last there was a big
boat loaded near the Seventeenth
quarters on the bay. The tug carried
about twenty wounded men, of which
thirteen had to be carried on stretch
ers. i helped carry some of them, and
such screaming and yelling! There was
one soldier shot through the hips, and
such sight; one was shot through the
lungs, and Others had their arms and
legs shot. This was my first exper,
fence of a case of this kind.
A good many boys have died from
disease. Yesterday there were thir.

c.pd.d.te. for county Superintendent,

The name of G. w. Buckner, OF High.
land township, is being mentioned by.
his friends as a candidate for county
superintendent of schools. Mr.. Buck
ner was born and raised in Wapello
county and for a number of years was
engaged in teaching. He was at differ
ent times principal of the schools at
Kirkyille, Martinsburg and Fremont,
The friends of Joseph Parks, the
present superintendent of schools, viii.
undoubtedly actively push his claims
for denomination. They state that the
schools OF the county were never in
such excellent shape as at present, and
that the Office OF county superintend-
emit is one which, when acceptably fiIi-
ed, should have as few changes as pos
sible.
