ANENI ADMIRAL kEMPFF.
Is Relieved by Admiral Remey And
Sent to Nagasaki.
HIS DISPATCHES WORTHLESS.

Washington. July admiral Remey
relieves Admiral Kempff who is sent to
Nagasal>i or Che Foo Official dissat-
isfaction with Admiral Kempff has
been displayed frankly by all the
authorities here.
The necessity for Admiral Kempf-s
speedy detachment, it is said at the
navy department, has been apparent
ever since it was learned that Flag
Captain McCa11a had gone to the front
with Vice Admiral Seymour,s column
Tor 1t was Well known to officials that
without McCallass constant advice the
American senior naval officer could not
be depended upon to meet grave
emergencies involving discretion of a
high order kempff has always been
egarded as one of the finest sailor1nen
IN the service, and as good fighter
ever commanded ship, but he was
never proficient in diplomatic matters
and was declared to be unsuited to
represent the United States st a great
gathering OF the naval powers the
important duty that has fallen to any
officer since the war with Spain.
kempH was No. Is on the list, and
would presumably decline an appoint
ment that three of his juniors had
just refused, but he astonished the
department by accepting with a1arcity
ana Cnerlng TO sail the next day The
department had to make the best of
the matter and therefore put Captain
McCal1a, one of the most brilliant men
in the navy, in command of Kempff's
flagship to equa1ize any deficiency that
might develop Until McCalla left his
post to march to the relief of the 1ega-
tions all was plain sailing, but since
that time evaporation in Washington
over Kempff's reports has been steadily
growing, each new dispatch making
1T more acute.
The failure to participate with the
other admira1s in taking the Talzu
forts will require clear explanation
from Admiral Kempff soon as the
present crisis permits court of in
qulry. Not one of the dispatches sent
by the admiral in the last two weeks
is clear in essentials Superfiuous
words are common and in several in
stances single words have been omitted
which would have been of great value
to the government.
The navy department has received
news of the arrival at Singapore of the

Gov. Roosevelt was born in New
York city, Oct. 27. 1858, of Dutch and
Scotch-Irish ancestry. His father was
Theodore Roosevelt. after whom the
Governor was named, and his mother,
whose given name was Martha, was
the daughter of James and Martha
Bulloch of Georgia. Young Roosevelt
was primarily educated at home under
private teachers, after which he en-
tered Harvard, graduating in 1880.
Those qualities of aggressiveness
which have marked his more recent
years of public life were present with
him in college and he was a conspicu-
GUS figure among his fellows.
1t was an interesting period in the
history of the party and the nation
and young Roosevelt entered upon the

Now that we have been indulging in
heat waves of our own it is cheering
to know that. in February OF this year
BuenOs Ayres struggled through one
of the hottest periods that that city
has known since the white man went
there. There were about 1 200 cases
of heat prostration and sunstroke, and
of these more than 200 proved fatal.
Many persons supposed that this sun
sickness was caused by plague or mis-
chievous cCntagion, and Il committee
of doctor was appointed to find the
true reason for so many fatalities
They arrived at the only conclusion
possible, and that was that it was all
due to the effects of excessive and
humid heat They pointed ont that
the important factors in the viruIent
development of the sickness were the
unhealthful conditions of life in parts
of the city and the bad quality of
stimulants consumed by the poorer
classes.

Death of Col. Liscum.
Col. Liscum was shot in the abdo-
men and died half an hour later. His
last words were: keep up firing"
The Ninth was ordered to support
the japanese, who were receiving an
enfilading fire. After crossing a mud
wall half mile from the city wall
the Ninth shifted, advancing against
the thanking fire and reached marsh
beside the river at the southwest cor
ner of the city. A body of Chinese in
a burned village under the wall, just
across the river, where they were
strongly barrieaded, poured in fire,
and whenever an American raised a
hand he was shot. ANordenfelt gun and
two small cannon were also trained
upon them. They lay in the mud all
day, without a surgeon to attend their
wounded, who were unable to move
or help the wounded, without food and
drinking the canal water. They had
exhausted their ammunition, except a
few rounds, which were retained in or
DER to repel charge if it should be
made. None expected to escape. A
few reaching the rear reported that
half of the command had been killed
or wounded, including heat prostra-
lions in the estimate. After the Ameri-
cans had retired under cover of the
darkness they struggled back in squads
all night, pitifully exhausted and carry
ing their wounded. The American hos
pital was crowded and short of sur
| geons, there having been no eXpecta
ton of such losses.
The total losses of the allies were
about 500. The British lost so, the Jap
anese estimate their killed at so, anC
wounded at $50. The Russian estimate
their casualties at $50.
