GEN. STERNBERG PLEASED
He Feels Proud of the Government Hospital Service in the
 Philippiues.

San Francisco. Oct 2.-In speaking of conditions in the Philippines, General George M. sternberg, Surgeon General or the United States, who has returned from the islands, said: T was surprised at the excellence of the hospital service and the arrangements for caring for the sick and wounded. We have a depart ment in the islands that we should be proud of.
 The percentage of sick remains about the same as during the early part of the campaign. namely. about per cent. Tax ing into consideration what we have to contend with over there and comparing 1t with the records of the civil war, 1t will be seen that we have made great improve ments in our military hospitals. The new convalescent hospital at Santa Mesa, built of Nipa, is almost perfect
 The men are subject te malaria, ty- phoid and dysentery for the most. The latter is the worst. A little bubonic plague exists among the na tives and Chi nese, but 1t is not enough to occasion alarm or drive people into mysteries. am we'll pleased with what I saw and aIn well satisfied"
 General John w. weston. Con1missiary General, who accompanied General Stern- berg, reports that as a result of hfs trip to Manila, his department has been cen tralized and decreased in number of en- ployes in consequence of the decrease of the army in the island to one-half of its former strength. The Commisslary Department is now in the hands of At regiment officers. One effect of the re- duction of the army was to pile up a great quantity of supplies. but nothing will be wasted. Certain kinds of supplies which could not be kept have been sold, but the staples are as good as evers and can be used by the army.

QUIET AT AsHvILLE.
Col. Higdon Asks for Fifteen More
 Men.

Birmingham, Oct. 2-(SpeciaL)-A long distance telephone message, received here tonight from Ashville, St. Clair County, says all is quiet there. and the prsiimin- ary trial of Sheriff J. L. North has not yet been concluded. North Is being tried for the killing of Walter Blankenship during the shooting on August 9. when an effort was made to lynch Jim Browns the negro rapist.
 Acting on the orders of the Governor. Colonel Higdon of the Sd regiment took fifty picked men from here to Ashvills early today to ihsure order at the trial. It was learned here tonight that Colonel Higdon has asked that fifteen more men be sent up in the morning and this will be done. This is not necessarily taken as an indication that trouble is threatened, but is thought to be merely preoaution- ary, 1t being probable, too. that these men go to relieve some who will be forced to return.
 A large number of witnesses have been summoned .n the case, and it may be a day or two yet befere the trial is fn- ished.
 Large crowds were in AshvflIe today. but no overt act was committed

 At the trial of Jim Brown. Che neeEo rapist. at this psaos. on August 24 psuss of men under direction of Shsrin Mersh fired into mob supposed to have been formed for the purpose of Iynching Brown. fatally injuring Walter Blanken- ship. well.knowni young man of this community, and injuring two ethsrs of the assembly. Several days later . war; rant was sworn out for Sherin North by H. C. Blankenship. the father of young Blankenship. and North was placed under arrest and he made bond.
 In the meantime, Brown was legally executed here under . military guard from Birmingham by Chef Deputy shsr@ if Ahner Crew.
 The feeling against Sherif North haa been intense at times. and upon solictta- ton of Coroner Miller who, by virtue os the law of Alabama, became acting shsw- if in place of Sher.ff North, Governor w. D. Jelks yesterday ordered Birming- ham troops to proceed to Ashviaie this morning.
 The trial promises to consume about ten days time. and it is worry probable that the militia will remain here throughout the entire time.
 Only five witnesses for the prosecution were introduced at this afternoon's aes- sion. among them being the father of Walter Blankenship. Walter Blanksnship had many friends Throughout this portion of the State. The family of Sheriff North has been in con- trol of the sherin's office of St. Clair County for over twenty years and has a large following of friends in St. Clair County. The most brilliant legal talent that could be obtained in this portion of Alabama has been engaged by both par ties. The defendants counsel is Judge J. M. Inxer, who defended the rapist Brown at his trial by order of the court.
 The case excited a great deal of inter est and promises to be one of the hardest fought legal battles that has been fought in St. Clair County for number of years.

Nashville Street Railway Almost at
 Standstfll.

Nashville, Oct. 2.-Street car service in Nashville is almost at standstill tonight. some 200 of the 25O employees of the Nash vile Street Railway Company having been discharged.

This morning as the men reported for work they were asked if they had joined the union and those answering in the affir- native were discharged.
 Organization of the union was brought about by discontentment of the men over the company's action in requiring a surety bond of conductors and motor- men. Both sides are firm in the positions taken. but the situation is quiet. no att tempt at violence or interference with the cars running has been made.
