the time for eight years, and became nervous
that was unable to do any mental labor and was
fast approaching q condition where there would
have been no help for me.
II am convinced that II had continued using
coffee much longer the result would have been
total mental and physical wreck.

about thirty-five Chinese parked on the
premises as result. While preparing for
the march on Pekn we secured some sheep,
mules and horses, and put them with the
Cinnamon, and had quite a menagerie
til one night some of the fore Sn soldiers
came and looted nearly all the live stock.
We made the pleasant discovery one day
that a Chinaman who had been waiting
our table was afflicted with smallpox. Dur
ing The bombardment shell exploded in the
upper part of our house and three others
in the outbuildings. Who were the worst
hooters? Well, the British were the most
successful, because they were most syste-
matte. They went about it as regular
piece of business: sent out men with carts
and wagons under command of officers.
Their experience in India had made them
connoisseurs in things oriental, and they re-
lected only the best Of the silks and en-
broideries. the rarest of the jade and the
finest of the jewels, and left the rest for
the less expert looters. The japanese did
the least looting and the Americans were
next to the Japs in this respect"
What do you think will be the result of
the present negotiatons?'
1T is the belief of many foreigners there
that China ought to be divided up by the
powers now if future trouble is to be avoided.
Any other settlement will give opportunity
for more troubles like those of the past
season. Such conditions will probably end
in Russia absorbing the main portion of the

ARMY TRANSPORT SERVICE.
Quartermaster General Talks About
Plans of the Department.

Quartermaster General Ludington said to-
day that there was no present purpose of
transferring the army transport service be-
tween the United States and the West In
dies to private Steamship companies That
question was considered several weeks ago
and II was concluded best to continue the
existing arrangement The reason for this
decision that it was found that the
government could do the business cheaper
than the regular transportation companies
and at the same time have better control
Of the service. General Ludington ex-
planned that the recent dismisSals at the
New York station of the transport service
were due simply to the fact that the bust
ness of the office did not justify the reten-
ton of the men dismissed. They were EN-
ployed when the service at New York was
much more extensive than it is at present
AS he expressed 1t, New York was for
merry the dog, but now it Is the tail and
San Francisco is the dog so far as the
army transport service Is concerned The
reduction made at New York. he said would
result in a saving of 10000 a year to the
government. General Ludngton said that
the transports Wright and Ingalls, of the
West Indies route are TO be sent to the
Philippines for service between the islands
and the transport Meade mg ht be trans
ferred 10 The Pacific route but that would
depend altogether upon the needs of the
service. No other changes in the Atlantic
transport service are In contempla ton.
In answer to a direct inquiry, the quar-
tcrmaster general said that the government
might be compelled TO charter some steam
ships 10 assist in bringing home the volun-
GERS and regulars in the Philippines, whose
terms of enlistment expire June 20 next
There are about 10000 Of these soldiers and
the present Pacific transport fleet is not adj
equate to the task of transporting that
number across the Pacific in six months
time without outside assistance. No ac-
ton Will be taken in that matter. however,
until Congress acts on the bill for the re-
organization Of the army.
