HEALTH OF THE ARMY
FIGURES FROM THE REPORT OF
SURGEON GENERAL STERNBERG.
Exceptions Taken by Temperance
People to His Remarks on
the Canteen Question.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Surgeon Gen.
eraI Sternberg has made his annual report
TO the secretary of war. He says the health
of the army has been unusually good dur
ing the calendar year 1900. The admission
rate to hospitals for all causes in the
army, volunteers and regulars, with a
mean strength of 1O0,3S9, in 1900 was 2311. 81
per thousand of strength. compared
with 217SO6 in the previous year; but dur
ing the year 1899 only 80 $50 men out of a
total of 1O5, $40 were serving in the Philip
pines while during the past year 66,SS2 of a
total of 100 3S9 were thus serving. In the
Philippine islands, with a mean strength
of 66 Ss2 the admission rate was 2621.96, as
compared with 1852 in the previous year,
this increase being mainly due TO disease
among the volunteers, the ratio for which
rose from 1s59.21 TO 2761.79. The regulars, on
the other hand, showed a marked decrease
in the ratio of admission for disease, which
fell from 2454.1O to 2197.73. Two-thirds of
the admissions for disease were caused by
maIarial fevers and diarrhoeal diseases.
The deaths from all causes amounted to
2S 20 per thousand Of strength, as compared
with 30.5S in the previous year. Disease oc-
casioned POPS deaths, the principal cause
of the fatalities being dySentery, which,
with other intestinal diseases, gave a rate
of 9OS The rate from injury amounted TO
$40. The death rate in China was large
4776 per thousand of strength, 1852 from
disease and 2414 from injury
one of the most interesting points in the
report of Major General Otis from the De
partmeEt of Dakota is a suggestion made
by Major Philip Reade, Fourth Infantry,
the inspector general of the department, to
the effect that chaplains be placed in
charge of the post exchanges and that the
canteen be re-established in the interests
of morals. temperance, discipline and
health. General Otis this year has di-
vided his time between the Department of
Dakota and the Department of the Lakes.

FACTS ABOUT THE NAVY.
Annual Report of the Chief of the
Navigation Bureau.

WASHINGTON. oct lin his annual
report to the secretary Of the navy, Rear
Admiral CrownnshielG. chief Of the navi-
cation bureau. speaks of the reduction
made during the past year in the strength
OF the Asiatic fleet which was drawn on TO
furnish two vessels to re-estabish the Eu-
ropean station and will be further dimin-
ished in order to permit Of the commission
ing of at least two training ships ana an
increase of the North Atlantic squadron by
two gunboats and of the Pacific squadron
by possibly one. IL is particularly desira-
bic TO have some small ships for gulf serv-
ice on the Atlantic side. 1t is said the oper-
ations on the Asiatic station were marked
by uniform success and that the conduct
OF our sailors and marines in China in the
main was all that could be asked for. The
American fleet, in conjunction with the
army in the Philippines, il is stated, has
hampered materially the inflow Of arms
and munitions to the islands.
A new system of recruiting the navy was
adopted. recruiting officers going to differ
ent parts of the country instead of waiting
until the men presented themselves at
recruiting ships. The system is said to
have been an undOubted success. Much at
tention has been devoted to gunnery train
ing and the report says that the depart
ment is about to undertake "A long-cher-
ished project and establish two gunnery
training ships on the Asiatic station.
The department is about to follow up the
precedent established last year in the ere
alton Of a torpedo boat reserve station at
Norfolk by establishing four other stations
at Port Royal, Charleston. Pensacola and
at Norfolk.
Admiral Crowninshield declares that the
time has come when. in the interest of
health of the sailors. OF their correct drill
ing of their comfort and of economy. the
United States navy should follow the ex-
ample of every first-class navy and provide
barracks in place OF receiving ships. II Is
figured that the government would save
the interest on twice the sum required to
provide barracks for 5000 men. 1t is re-
Quested that Congress appropriate for such
barracks at New York $500 900 and for
League island and Mare island 100000
each.
Sailors were enlisted during the year to
the number of 1886, making the total men
In service IS S25. From this number there
were 3.15S desertions.
The beginning OF a general staff of the
navy is foreshadOwed in a transmitted
recommendation of Captain Sigsbee, the
chief intelligence officer, looking to COM
bination in the department of the work or
the general board. the War College and the
office of naval intelligence to begin system
atically general staff work.
Touching the Naval Academy, the report
indorses the superintendent recommended
ton that no cadet under fifteen or over
eighteen years of age be received; that the
course shall be four years, and that 3.0OO-
ton practice ship be provided. Six CIVILIAN

APPEAL FOR FUNDS.
People of All the Country Urged to
Assist in Raising Ransom.


BOSTON, Oct 1.-THE misunderstanding
existing in various parts of the country,
indicated especially in private advices re-
ceived here, as to the progress of the fund
to ransom Miss Stone, the missionary, is
considered TO be sufficient reason for the
issuance OF another appeal for funds by
the clergymen who signed the first one.
The idea is to impress upon the people of
America the danger which still threatens
Miss Stone. The second appeal follows:
1.-The promptings of our hearts compel us
to issue second urgent appeal to the peo-
pie of America to come to the rescue of
Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the American mis-
sionary now held captive by brigands in
$4,000. Nearly one-half that sum is yet TO
be raised. Private advices received yester-
day were TO the effect that 1t was abso-
lutely necessary 70 raise the full amount
at once. The story of a thirty days respite
is absolutely discredited in the best in
formed circles
"To-day's information from Washington
is that the outlook is far from being so re-
assuring as was hoped yesterday. The pub
lie should not be deceived by the idea that
the American board as such will pay any
of the ransom II has officially declared
that IL could not, although its members
have unanimously expressed sympathy
with the movement. VIII not pastors. ten
der-hearted women, patriotic men and rep
resentatives of commercial and financial
activity everywhere-will not every one aid
by giving and soliciting until the entire
fund is in hand? A life is a. stake, the life
of Christian missionary, a patriot and
q noble American.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 11.-Bishop Pot

at meeting of the Church Association
for the Advancement of Labor, at the AL
hambra Theater, last night. Bishop Potter
said, in part: I'VE will never solve the
question of labor until the organizing
minds, the guiding hands and employing
managers are identified with the unions
with which the employees are identified.
There should be a mutual understanding
between employers and their help, and both
should be animated by a common tie of
brotherhood and fealty."

The Porte Responsible.

LONDON, Oct. 1L-After detailing the
history of the abduction of Miss Stone, the
Spectator remarks: President Roosevelt
and the Washington Cabinet maintain
justly that the Sultan is responsible, as it
is his misgovernment which provokes and
protects brigandage, and they intend to de-
mand reparation from the Porte. 1t will
not be limited, we imagine to s25 600. The
Porte will be required to punish the au-
thors of the outrage; and as Turkey is sure
to shuttle and America is tired of being
played with. naval demonstration is quite
on the cards. The Sultan WILL of course,
yield to the first show of force"
