should BE Punished.

Mr.. Sargent finds that the sanguine
view expressed in the last annual re-
port of the bureau as TO the effect Of
careful examination by the United
States marine hospital surgeons upon
the transportation lines bringing dis
eased aliens TO American ports has not
been confirmed by the experience OF
the past year. He adds:
"The increase Of alien immigration
has been not quite one-third over that
of 1901, but the comparative increase
of diseased aliens for the same period
has been more than two 10 one. The
same races which exhibited the largest
number Of diseased persons last year
maintain their prominence in this re-
spect for the year under consideration.
Necessity for Legislation.
"These figures show conclusively the
necessity for legislation which shall in
flict upon transportation lines, which
have the means of protecting them
selves from the effect Of a violation Of
the law by competent medical inspec-
tion at the port of foreign embarka-
ton, penalty proportional 10 the
gravity Of the risk to the health OF the
Anne rican people for bringing diseased
aliens 10 ports Of this country. The
present penalty is the mere return Of
the diseased alien at the cost OF the Of
Tending line. This, however, il virtual
~ no penalty"

Winter furs are in the shops IN sol-

CAPTAIN WILD REPRlMA\DED.

Manila. June 22.-Captain Frederick s. Wild
OF the 18th Infantry. has been sentenced by
court martial to be reprimanded for the burn
ing of a native cockpit at Lngayon. province
OF Pangasinan, Luzon. 1t is presumed that the
soldiers of Captain Wilds command burned this
cockpit from motives of revenge for the at
tempted killing of two Of their comrades by the
natives. MI. Johnston a civil judge, wrote that
soldiers had been seen burning the cockpit. and
intimated in his letter that a result of his
investigation of the matter Captain Wild could
give information of the occurrence. To this let
ter Captain Wild replied that Mr.. Johnstons S
statement was unjust. and that he knew moth
ing of the cockpit. The captain added it was
evident that much more importance was at
tached by the provincial officials to the burning
of the cockpit than to the attempted asSaSslna-
ton the same day of two American soldiers.
In approving the findings of the court martial
which sentenced Captain Wild to be reprlmand-
ed General Chaffee says the captain violated
a general order and did not show proper re-
spect to the civil authorities.
