Washington. Jan. 2l-Reports from
the Philippines Indicate Il great deal
OF sickness prevailing among both
naval and army officers on duty in the
archipelago. Long terms of duty iii
these islands are likely to impair the

to the views Of army and naval med
ical officers, and 4 limitation of duty
tours i'll the Philippines to Il period OF
two years is strongly advocated. This
practice was followed by the Spanish
authorities when they We're in control
and is looked upon as Il wise precedent
to continue. The growing reports of
illness among our officers in this sta
tion probably will induce both army
and naval establishments to make the
term of service in the islands for their
officers but two years at Il time where
ever possible.

CITY Mas Born.

on the Fourth of July Just passed
Flagstaff was exactly twenty-five years
old. IL was on the Fourth of July,
1876, that a party of settlers on their
way from Boston. Mass, to Prescott,
camped at the spring near where John
Clark nov resides, and, being true pa
triots, celebrated the n hundredth
anniversary of the signing of the dec
laration of independence. A tall pine
tree was trimmed and hewed. a gilded
ball placed on top and old glory floated
where the present prosperous city OF
Flagstaff now stands. During this
quarter Of a century Flagstaff has ex-
%perienced the same kind of evolution
which has been characteristic of many
other western cities-such as Duluth,
Mimi; Salt Lake, Utah; and Grand
Rapids, Mich. First the favorite camp
ing place Of the ever restless emigrant,
then a sawmill hamlet and lastly n
substantial city OF stone and brick
buildings. While Flagstaff Is still in
the embryonic state, yet 1t has occa-
sion to rejoice over its phenomenal
prosperity. Born a century after the
birth OF this grand republic, its citi-
.ens seem to have been endowed with
he same spirit Of patriotism and pro
yression which animated the fore
fathers of the union. Flagstaff can
Justly boast of being a Fourth Of July
town and an American city.

wALLApAls FIGHTING THE DEVIL
The "Big Cries" Of the Tribe to Ward
OFF Hia Satanic Majesty.

The Indians held one of their an
nual big cries Monday night In me-
mory Of the dead members of the tribe.
The cry was attended by members of
the tribe from different parts OF the
county and attracted many visitors
from Kingman to the camp south of
town. says the Miner. The old and
tried veteran weepers of the tribe were
absent and the young and inexperi-
enced mourners failed to drive the
devil very far away. The Wallapais,
as are all Indian tribes, are very
superstitious and have the big cries
for the purpose of wardlng off evil and
mourning for those who have departed
for the happy hunting ground subse-
quent to the last cry. On these oc-
casions the Indians black their faces
and tog themselves up In fanciful at
tire In order to hide their identity,
that the old boy will be unable to To-
cate the victims of whom he is In
search. The devil fighters are com.
posed of the active bucks and sduaws,
each squad having two hours fight
with the evil one. which is equal to a
weeks hard work.
