OUR HOSPITAL SERVICE.
Arrangements for China, the Philip
pines and at Home.

Surgeon General George NJ. Sternberg,
who for some weeks past has been on an in
specting tour of army hospitals. Is expected
TO return to Washington in a Few DAYS.
While in San Francisco last week he was
interviewed by a newspaper man, and the
former is quoted saying that ne had a
dispatch, which has not yet been made pup-
lic in which the chief surgeon at Mania
notified him that he has sent 3eo-bed held
bosnital to China and medical supplies for
5000 men for three months. In addition 10
this. the surgeon general asserted that the
hospital ship Relief. the best of Its kind
afioat has been dispatched TO Taku. She
has a full corps of doctors and nurses, ana
is in command of Surgeon Major Perley
Our hospital service is thoroughly modern
in every respect. DR.. Sternberg maintained
and so far as capacity is concerned is fully
prepared to care for the sick and wounded
soldiers of our armies, wherever they
may be.
Continuing his conversation, DR.. Stern
berg said: "At the outbreak of the war with
Spain we had a corps of army surgeons
calculated only for an army OF 2o.eo men,
and the requirements had to be met by en-
ploying contract surgeons from the ranks
of civilians. In the regular army these
numbered i01. or more than twice the num-
ber of regulars. In addition to this each
volunteer regiment had three doctors so
we were enabled to handle the work readily.
We have a large hospital supply depot in
San Francisco and one in New York From
the latter shipments are made by way OF
the Suez canal for the troops in the Philip
pines. The depot in San Francisco, how
ever is the more important, and We are
fully equipped for all demands that may be
made upon this department. Wherever
there is a movement of troops there is al
ways a full stock of medical supplies and
the required surgeons.
"At the Preside of San Francisco is To-
Gated the most important hospital in the
country and it is one of the largest most
modern and best-equipped institutions of
its kind ever constructed. This receives the
sick soldiers from the Philippines. and they
are given the best attention possible. and
when convalescent are placed in the conval-
escent regiments until such time as they
are discharged or sent back to their own
regiments.
'In Fort Bayard, New Mexico the gov
ernment has a new hospital for consump
tives 1t is situated 5000 feet above the sea
level, and offers the best conditions possible
for fighting this dread disease. The institu-
ton has Eeen but recently opened, and on
my visit there a few days ago there were
ninety patients. In Hot Springs. Arkansas,
is located the army and navy general hos
ptal, and there is the national hospital at
Washington, D. c., besides those at the
army posts. AS to the Philippines. the facil-
tiles are all that are required. We have sew
eral large hospitals there. with the most
modern improvements, not only as to scien-
tific appliances, but trained nurses and sup
plies, and they are equal to any demands
that may be made upon them"

ARRESTED IN NEW YORK.
Gurley & johnson Complain of 4
Heavy Financial LOSS.

On complaint of William b. Gurley and
Richard a Johnson. forming the firm of
Gurley & johnson, stockholders of this
city. Arthur NJ. Hunter, a stOckbroker of
New York city. was arrested in that place
Saturday. 1t is claimed by the plaintiffs
that Hunter wrOngfuily converted to his
use S-F2.~ag;.66 of their money while he was
their broker to purchase certain stocks
and securities for them on margins Jus
tice DugrO OF the supreme court fixed Hun
ters bail at S1060 and directed that the
plaintiffs should give an undertaking In
$1,000 to indemnify Hunter should he be
successful in his defense to the suit. Hun
ter gave bail, and was released.
In their complaint in the suit to recover
81. S,6-G6 from Hunter Gurley & johnson
set forth that between April H. 1880, and
February .. 1890. they employed Hunter
as their broker to purchase certain stocks
and securities To enable him to do so, the
plaintiffs said, they advanced certain sums
of money as margin. 1t was admitted by
the plaintiffs that Hunter furnished the
additional money necessary to purchase the
stocks The complaint then recited that
subsequent to February o last Hunter sold
the stocks and securities which II was
alleged he bought for the plaintiffs for
&2.S6.66, and converted the money to his
own use 'wrOngfully and by fraud The
plaintiffs then alleged that Hunter had re-
fused to return to them either the stocks
or the money equivalent.
II was alleged in the answer to this suit
that IL was understood between the plain
tiffs and the defendant that Hunter could
use the securities so purchased by him. in
connection with other securities in his Of
flee, as collateral FOR loans. 1t was also
alleged on behalf of Hunter that Richar,.
A Johnson. one of the plaintiffs, is mem
Der of the New York stock exchange, and
was well aware Of the fact that the money
required to pay for the large purchases in
question could not be advanced by a broker
from his own capital. but had to be Dor
rowed by using the securities as collateral.
Then followed the allegation that about
December 10. 1899, Il heavy decline oc-
CURED in the stock market, and Hunter de-
manded additional margin, to which he
was entitled. The additional margin, it
was asserted, was not sent TO him in time

Some very little thing might stir the people
when they are in so ugly mood and some
very dreadful thing might result: but we do
not anticipate any such thing. The thing
to do is to keep quiet and avoid anything to
excite them. OF course, as long as this
dynasty lasts, Pekin is about the safest
place in the empire, though it would be the
most dangerous If the dynasty were over
thrown. L am sorry for poor Mr.. Conger

An Outbreak.
II expected to finish my letter Monday
evening, but Monday and the days since
have brought such startling developments
that l have been unable to fix my mind on
letter writing. Indeed. it would not have
been much use, for We could not send out
any mail during those days
Monday afternoon. as 1 sat quietly
studying, my husband came in with an odd
look on his face, to tell me the news 1t
was that at place about ten miles from
the city. on the railroad to Paotingfu the
Boxers had burned all the railroad Offices
carshops etc, and that all the foreigners
had fortified themselves in one house, had
hred on the Boxers, killing two and wound
ing others. Later we heard that party of
eight other foreigners from here had gone
heavily armed and rescued some of their
ccuntrymen who We're imprisoned by a
party of Boxers. Fortunately the Boxers
do not carry guns; they do not want them
because they are foreign.
The foreigners at Fengtai, nine miles
from the city, hearing of this trouble fled
to Tien Tsin on an engine, and the mob,
finding the place deserted. set fire to the
station and other railroad property tore
up the track and burned the ties In the
midst of all this some of our Chinese
preachers on their way to conference ar
rived there OF course, the train could not
as fast as possible for fear of an attack.
The preachers jumped off. walked to the
next village, where they secured carts, and
came to Pekin, bringing us the report of
eye-witnesses. We had barely grasped the
meaning of all this when a crowd of ma
tive Christians came in from Pacho and
Huang-t'sun, two villages some distance
farther away. telling of the killing of nine
of their number. mostly women and chill
dren. l cannot forget the dreadful crying
of an old man and his son. the only survtv-
ors of the family, as they went through
our courtyard.
1T has been suspected that the Chinese
government was backing all this and al
lowed the railroad to be destroyed to keep
out foreign soldiers. Appearances seem to
indicate that this is not true, but, In fact,
no one knows anything and We spend our
time in surmising. All these days little
SQUADS of our refugee Christians have been
coming in for protection, and 1t appears SO
strange. We are certainly living In the
most exciting times l have known.
