just returned from Manila says that
the percentage of insanity amoug the
troops serving in the Philippines is
alarming. and that those who have

ARMY SURGEONS INDIGNANT
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The army
medical department is indignant over
the report published in New York to
the effect that Gen. Otis had requested
that a thousand pairs of handouts and
200 leg shackles be sent him for use on
insane soldiers.
"In the first place. said Surgeon
General Sternberg, "these are never
used on the insane. The restraint ap-
paratus used in the army in the most
severe cases consists only of muff and
auklets."
But no denial that the soldiers are
insane Is made.

Sanborn and his force are occupyin g
temporary quarters in the little wood
en- building north of the depot, former
ly used as a baggage room, customs
agency and offices of the Sonora News
company.
The fire was discovered about 2:3O
in the morning. The alarm was i'm
mediately given by the night watch
man and In few minutes the town
was aroused by the changing of the
church bells and the disch arge of fire.
arms.
An effort was made to bring the Ell
Pasc FIRE department over but it failed.
The people turned out in full force,
but as Jusrez possesses neither fire de-
partment or waterworks nothing could
be done to save the building. The
woodwork burned like dry tinder and
it proved impossible to enter to save
any of the valuable property contained
In it and it was abandoned.
CARS SAVED
Several cars of merchandise were
standing along side of the burning
building and every effort " as put forth
to save these. The night crew in the
Mexican Central yards came to the
rescue, as the Sierra Madre had no en-
gine ready for usinees, and hauled
the cars away. Before this could be
done, however, two cars were in flames
and the heat was SO great that it was
only with the greatest difficulty that
some of the cars could be coupled.
The track was SO close that the cars
almost touched the building.
The burning cars were hurriedly
run down to the watertsnk and the
flames extinguished in time to save
their contents.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE
AS to the origin of the fire there is
no doubt in the minds of the officials of
the Sierra Madre line but that it was
the work OF an incendisry, and done
for the purpose of concealing a rob-
berry. A suspicious person was seen
around about 10 O'Clock that
night and while no evidences were dis
at that time of robbery sub
sequent developments showed that
such was the case.
AS the depot and everything in it
has been destroyed it is impossible to
tell what If anything had been taken
from it, but it was discovered that car
of merchandise had been broken into
and several sacks of coffee and small
articles stolen. This car was one of
those that was alongside of the depot
and it Is believed that the guilty
party or parties undertook to burn this
car to hide their crime and in doing so
set fire to the depot but failed to de-

THE BURNED BUILDING
WILD RUMORS
Lead the Officers d Merry Race Al
ter the Fort Bliss Oeserter

1
Saturday and a good part of Sunday
was spent by the officers in pursuit OF
the Fort Bliss deserter. The sum and
substance of the Developments so far
amount to the finding of pencil on the
Rio Grance river bank down the val
| ley, at point where the foot prints In
dicsted that the man had crossed the
| river.
The pencil bad carved on it the same
| number, MI, that was used to mark
| the articles of clothing McElroy wore
as soldier. In the army, each soldier
has a company number which desfg.
mates his belt, gloves, musket, etc.
Many wild rumors came to the police
yester day, and acting on one of them
Officers Dick Blacker aud Ehrha rt
went on hot trail after two 'real
black soldiers in uniform seen along
the river. They proved to be two
| very red haired white men in overalls.
Will Ten Eyck had the same ex-
perience.
A Mrs. Arnold, living beyond the
old Fitzgerald smelter, insists, with
many people living in the neiehbor-
hood, that she saw several soldiers
near there Friday. Every one seems
to expect to iod the fugitive in full
uniform, and armed with q small
Gatliug gun, and they seems also to
think that negro soldier is something
akin to a wild nan.
The police are endeavoring to obtain
clues through q mulatto woman living
at 374 Santa Fe street, who is said to
have been q sweetheart of Dyson, the
corporal whose arrest was the cause of
the trouble.
It is said that che was with Ripper
at Dun's road house on the Friday
afternoon preceding the shooting,
when he telephoned for Dyson to come
into stown. At present, the house at
374 Santa Fe street is quarantined
because of case of scarlet fever.
The officers are also closely watching
the movements of Mrs. Porter, living
in an adobe building on Oregon street
beyond Fenchler's. She was the par
ticular friend of the deserter.
McElroy, when last seen, wore the
trousers of his brown canvas uniform,
and an army shirt, and was without q
hat.

SEARCHING FOR THE MISCREANT.
Indications are that the guilty party
is Mexican employed at the ware
house. 1t is alleged that he was seen
in that vicinity about 10 O'Clock and
also about the time of the fire. Yes
terday the police of Juarez were hunt
ing for him but up to this time he has
not been found. It is thought likely
that he is on this side of the river and
Chief of Police Lockart has been re-
quested to keep q lookout for him. If
he is caught here his extrsdition will
no doubt be asked for on q charge of
robbery and arson.
The alleged incendiary is 8 Mexican
about thirty-fve years old, about aver
age height, smooth faced, slightly
marked with smsllp pox, large eyes, and
laughs great deal. ''In fact.'' said
the message received at the police sta
tion from Juarez this morning, "he
is laughing all the time and probably
would laugh at his mothers funeral. +"
THE LOSS.
Inquiry at the Offices of the Sierra
Madre line this morning brought forth
q statement that as long sas the records
had been destroyed no estimate could
be formed of the loss until
claims are presented by the
owners of the freight which
was stored in the building. 1t is un-
derstood. however, that there was a
large amount of this. 1--WE have not
figured up our losses yet, and have al
most nothing to 60 by, and any es-
innate would be but the widest kind
of guesswork," said Auditor Mead to
the HERALD reporter this morning.
THE BURNED BUILDING
The burned building was of red
brick, one story in height with stone
and was built in 1897. In
the north end was the waiting room,
telegraph and agents Office, and in the
south end the freight house.
The value of the building is estimat-
ed at about $500 gold. 1t was covere d
by insurance.
