Surgeon General Sternberg Thinks
Well of the Army Eanteen.
Less Intoxication Where They Have Post
Exchanges-Death Rate in Philippines
and China-hIaIaria and Dysentery
Causes of Greatest sickness.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Surgeon Cen
eral Sternberg has made his annual
report to the secretary of war. He
says the health of the army has been
unusually good during the calendar
year 1900. The admission rate to hos
pitfalls for all causes in the army, vol
unteers and regulars, with mean
strength of 100, 3S9 in 1900 and 2,311.81
per 1000 of strength as compared
with 2,178.06 in the previous year;
but during the year 1899 only 39,280
men out of total of 1O5,546 were
serving in the Philippines, while dur
ing the past year 66,822 of a total of
100,389 were thus serving.
In the Philippines, with mean
strength of 66,8S2, the admission rate
was 2,621.96 as compared with 2,395.52
in the previous year, this increase be-
ing mainly due to disease among the
volunteers, the ratio for which rose
from 1,859.21 to 2,761.79. The regu-
lars on the other hand showed a
marked decrease in the ratio of ad-
missions for disease, which fell from
2,456.1O to 2,197.73. Two-thirds of the
admissions for diseases were caused
by malariaI fevers and diarrheal dis
eases. The deaths from all causes
amounted to 28.75 per 1000 of
strength as compared with 3O.5S in
the previous year. Disease occasioned
1925 deaths, the principal causes of
the fatalities being dysentery, which
with other intestinal diseases gave
rate of 9.O8. The-rate from injury
amounted to $40. The death rate
in China was large. 47.76 per 1000
of strength, 1852 from disease and
PAL from injury. From the close of
the calendar year 1900 to the latest
reports, the health of the troops in
the Philippines has been steadily inn
proving. The health of the troops in
Cuba during the year was excellent.
AS result of American occupation
nearly every city and town has had
its sanitary conditions improved.
Speaking of special diseases Gen.
Sternberg says: ''The steady decrease
of late years in the admissions for
alcoholism among the men of the
regular army is a matter for con-
graduation. Military officers may be
said to be unanimous in their opinion
that this is mainly the result of es-
tablishment of the post exchange or
canteen at military posts. There is
less drunkenness among troops in
active service than in a command
doing garrison duty in the times of
peace"

PAT GROVE AGAIN.
Alleged Cudahy Kidnaper Is Near Omaha
and Offers to Surrender If the $780,
900 Reward Is Withdrawn.

Omaha, -Neb., Oct. 14-Chief of Po-
lice Donahue has received from Pat
rick Grove, through a friend of the
latter, an offer to surrender himself
and stand trial in the courts if the re-
ward of $4,000 hanging over his head
for the alleged kidnapping of Edward
n. Cudahy, Jr, is withdrawn. Chief
Donahue did not accept the PROPOSE
ton but made a counter offer to
waive the reward himself, saying no.
body could secure it. The chief says
Grove is tired of being hunted and
as willing to take chances of trial
if the reward is withdrawn. but ex-
presses the fear that manufactured
testimony would convict him if the
reward is allowed to stand. He says
Grove is less than 500 miles from
Omaha and is not with his relatives.

cANrEEN ISSUE REVIVED.
Gov. Gen. Wood says elimination of Beer
from Camp Has Worked Hardship
on the Soldiers IN Cuba.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE war de-
partment has made public the annual
report of Gen. Leonard Wood, COM
handing the department of Cuba, for
the last fiscal year. Gen. Wood says
the general conduct of the American
troops in Cuba continues to be excel
lent and, as heretofore, complaints
against them from civil authorities
and individuals IRE extremely rare.
The total number of deaths of officers
and enlisted men during the year was
81, a percentage of less than 1.25.
Yellow fever has now been almost
driven from the island, owing to the
energetic war upon the mosquitoes
and the sanitary precautions adopted.
However, during the past summer five
officers of Gen. Woods staff were TAX
en- i'll with yellow fever and three of
them died. Among the headquarters
employees there were IS victims of
yellow fever with II deaths.
Gen. Wood devotes a good part of
his report to a statement of the re-
suits along the tests of the artillery
in Notifications left by the Spanish,
and summarizing these he says: "The
behavior of the guns and carriages
was better than was expected by the
artillery officers" The old canteen
issue is revived in this report through
a substitute report furnished by In
spector Gen. Burton. He says that
the existing system is great discom-
fort to the soldier in Cuba who is
deprived of many of the comforts
known to him at home. The officers
generally complain that the elimina-
ton of beer from the existing sys-
tenn has worked hardship on the
soldier and has been detrimental to
good order and military discipline.

oLD-TIME SOUTHERN GIRL.
There Was Fine, Strong stun in Her
and She Bore Up NObly Under
Addiction.

Of that southern girl of long ago
write in reverence. Her beauty, her
virtue, her tenderness her repose, her
loyalty to her. own, are heritages of
every man who knew her in the flesh,
or knows her by tradition. There was
fine, strong stuff in her. She was nObly
constant. 1 am not old, writes H. S.
Garfield, in Woman's Home Compan-
ion, yet I remember ''the fierce south
cheering on her sons" and the women
at home, bearing the most savage of
the brunt, steady, industrious, uncom-
planning, grieved for the bright blood
that was split, yet locking their lips
upon fear and longing, and bidding
father, husband, son or lover to the
fray. I remember coffee made from
bits of sweet potato dried in the sun;
sassafras root dug by negro boys as
substitute for tea; hundred simple
herbs which took the place of contra
band medicines, and bread made from
Indian corn, sometimes saltIess, and
many, many Pftiful expedients to fill
the mouths of hungry children. Ire
member these things, but do not re-
member that any woman of them ever
repined. Whatever may be said for
or against the men of the south, the
''impolite SEX as a fool has termed
them, did not falter. This woman,
who picked lint to be sent to the front,
'fran the plantation while its owner
was facing Grant, taught the little me-
groes their alphabet, and had prayers
each evening in the big sitting
room, is the grandmother of the girl
of to-day. I talked to one not long
go-white-haired, blue-eyed, serene,
with the presence of duchess and the
heart of child, widow since Chan
cellorsviIle. While we talked the laugh
| ing of grandchildren sounded from
the "front yard and 'Aunt Prissy,"
black. bent and as old as her mistress,
brought in some yellow puff balls OF
chickens in basket and showed them
with immense pride. I said: ''You
must have found it hard to take up the
work at the close of the war, Mrs.
Blank, and manage the place with al
most every condition changed?'
The old lady said, simply: "Why
shouldn't I? I never put skirt over
my head with my own hands until
1864. But I did it,"

stances of the case, he was quite pre-
pared to let the public judge of the
justifiability of the newspaper at

Washington, Oct. lit has been

Attorney General Renders Opinion Which
Will Facilitate Laying of Ocean Wire
Between San Francisco and Manila.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Attorney Gen
eral Knox made a verbal report to
the president and cabinet Friday re-

His conclusion was that under the law
of 1866 any domestic company could
land any cable on the shores of the
United States or of its possessions.
The law of 1866 is the same law under
which the Postal Telegraph company
claimed it had the power to land a
cable at Havana, but the claim was
disregarded at the time by the sec
rotary of war.
