ARMY in GOOD HEALTH
SURGEON GENERALS REPORT
SHOWS IMPROVED CONDITIONS.
Both sickness and Mortality Rates
Are LOwer-Deaths in the Differ
ent Observation-Disclosures Causes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-The report Of
the surgeon general Of the army for the
year ending June 30 last shows a gradual
Improvement in the condition of the health
of the troops, Notwithstanding many were
subject to exposures of tropical services in
the Philippines. The report states the adj
missions to sick report in 1901 constituted
1871. SO per thousand of the strength, as COM
pared with 2sll.s1 in 1900, and with 1502.47
the mean annual rate of the previous ten
years. The rate of discharge for disability
was 1895 in 1901, as compared with ZIG in
1900 and 1859 for the decade, and the death
rate from all causes was 1894 per thousand
men, as compared with 22.74 and 11-s1 re-
spectively. Deaths from diseases consti-
tuted 9.5S per thousand of mean strength,
as compared with ISIS in 1900, and deaths
from injury. 4.36, as compared with 6.95.
During the year the mean strength of the
army consisted of so, 491 men. Of whom Sl,SS5
were regulars and 1o,6O5 volunteers. The
death rate from all causes $50 per thousand
of strength in Cuba, $50 in the United
States, ISL in Porto Rico and 1876 In the
Pacific islands n China. Deaths from
diseases constituted only 3.2f per thousand
in Cuba, 4.6S In the United States and H. 40

Concerning the health OF the troops in the
Philippines, the report says: "The charac-
ter of services in the different parts of the
archipelago has varied more during the
year than in any similar period since Amer
lean occupation. Although a great deal of
hard field service has been done, and much
new country occupied, there has been a de-
crease in sick and mortality rates, and
improved conditions in peaceful provinces
have more than counterbalanced any local
increases caused by arduOus field service.
Campaigns carried on during the year have
not, however, been less trying to the stam-
ina of troops than former ones; rather the
reverse, as most of the more accessible
points were already coupled by our forces
at the beginning of the year and the neces-
sity for following insurgents, hiding in the
Businesses of inaccessible mountains added
much to the labors performed In the swell
tering heat of the tropics"
There have been only fourteen cases of
yellow fever, one of which was fatal, all in
Cuba. There were 594 cases of typhoid fever
and seventy-eight deaths. There is a re-
view of the cholera epidemic. in the Philip
pines, with a statement of what has been
done to prevent the spread of the disease
among the troops. There were reported I66
cases of insanity for the calendar year 1901,
of which 12 were discharged as insane and
committed to asyiums. OF these 100 cases
came from the Philippine islands.
There were 104 killed by gunshot injuries,
of which iorty-six met their death in ac-
ton ana STA cases of gunshot injuries
brought to the hospitals for streatment.

CASTRO LEADING AN ARMY.


WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Sept.
D.-President Castro, of Venezuela, left Va
lencia for Tocuyito at the head of a well
equipped force of 5000 men, with twelve
guns to attack the revolutionary ARM
commanded by General Luciano Mendoza.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-The Depart
ment of State has received a telegram from
United States Minister Bowen, dated Cara
cas- to-day, reporting that president of Vene-
zuela is with his army in Valencia. He adds
that the Venezuelan government has pro-
tested against the British flag being raised
on the Island of Patos, over which the
Venezuelan government has proclaimed it's
sovereignty. Patos, or Goose island, as 1t is
called, is a small and uninhabited island ly-
ing about two and two-thirds miles from
the nearest point on the Venezuelan coast,
just inside of the Dragons Mouth, which
gives entrance to the mouths of the Grin
oco, and IT is consequently of great STRAIT
egic importance. The islands only about a
mile long by half a mile broad, and it is a
resort of smugglers and fishermen. The
British government has claimed the island
for many years as one of the number of
small islands adjacent to the Island of
Trinidad.

Taught a Lesson In Duty.
Boston Herald.

Judge of a New York court on Tuesday
taught a young woman an excellent and
necessary lesson. A prisoner was before
him who had pleaded guilty of petty lar
ceny on an Indictment for robbery. He came
before the court for sentence. His lawyer
begged hard for clemeney, saying, among
other things, that the young man had
promised to reform, and that he was en-
gagged TO be married to an estimable young
lady, who would marry him at once if the
judge would suspend sentence. The judges
reply was: I'm that case l consider il my
duty in the interest of the young lady to
send this man to the penitentiary for six
months. / have had this case investigated.
and this mans record is bad. l hope that
during the six months in which they are
separted the young lady will make an in
vestigation for herself. and take back her
promise to marry him." This may appear
to be a severe proceeding. but consideration
will show that the judge was acting in the
interest of mercy for the innocent. The rel
atives of ian estimable young lady" who
would marry a confessed criminal do not
always make so firm an objection as this
which the judge has interposed. Probably
parents would have had but little influence
against her infatuation. What the Judge
did may not save her. 1t depends upon how
much she deserves to be called estimable.

An amusing situation has arisen in the
interview which appeared recently I'm this
paper. In the interview referred TO Secre-
tary Wilson stated that IL would be the
aim or his department TO afford every as
sistance to the settlers who are rapidly
occupying the denuded lands which former
ly constituted the pine forest regions OF
Wisconsin,, Michigan and Minnesota.
Specifying the line I'm which this assist
ance would be rendered. the secretary said
that immediate steps would be taken TO
ascertain the grains. grasses and legumes
best suited TO the region, etc. He also said
that the region was being settled very
largely by Scandinavians and Danes. and
therein lay the trouble.
The Star interview has been quoted in the
local papers OF that region and numerous
requests are pouring into the department
asking for the immediate delivery of the
posed assistance has come TO be REGARDED
by the prospective settlers as analogous TO
the famous thirty acres and a mule" OF
reconstruction days. and numerous Scanci
navians and others are writing, often in
peremptory terms. 10 state that the mule
has not arrived, metaphorically speaking.

communications received are a mixture OF

Greeks Battling i'm Court.

Theodore Colfatis TO replevin two lunch
wagons. Both men are Greeks and were
formerly partners in the wiener wurst BUSH
ness. Colfatis conducted a fruit stand I'M
til a year ago when Forte came to this
country from Greece. Forte told Colfatis
he could put him in a better business, and
they formed a partnership and built lunch
wagons. A short time ago they had a mis-
understanding and dissolved partnership.
Forte asked for half of the wagons and
Colfatis told hin he didn't have any. They
then entered court, and already the costs
have exceeded the value of all the wagons.

IN THE MATTER
OF FORESTRY

Mr.. Clifford Pinchot the head of the
Forestry Bureau, Department of Agri-
culture, at Washington, who. was ex-
pected to pass through Honolulu on his
way to the Philippines. has gone there
by way of Paris as he was in that city
October 4th. His father gave a school
Of forestry to Yale University Mr.. Pin
ehot is known by many Honolulans.
Senator George Carter was his guest on
his recent visit to Washington In an
interview while in Paris Mr. Pinchot
said:
There are fifty millions of acres of
forest in the Philippines. These are
dense tropical forests of hard wood, fit
for cabinet purposes. The forests alone
at the lowest calculation are worth five
hundred million dollars. They help to
make the islands even a better acquisi-
ton than Alaska. Those who kick about
the twenty millions paid to Spain for
these islands know not what they say.
The idea is ITO make use of these
forests and yet to preserve them. They
must be cut in such way that they
will reproduce themselves. Forestry
enters so much into the climatic con-
ditions and prosperity of a country that
TOO much attention cannot be given TO
it. In France a man cannot cut down
his own trees without the consent OF
the Government, Some Of the Oldest
French legislation. dating back to the
Roman occupation, deals with forestry.
The idea is TO look after the ma
tsriaI interests of the Philippines, just
as. our three thousand school teachers
are cultivatfng their Intellectual do
main. II the forests of a country be
destroyed Il IS ruined. Americans are
fully alive 70 this
