Situation Well Under Control.

Surgeon General Forwood said today that
he-was satisfied that the cholera situation
In the Philippines was well under, control,
and that there VIII be general elimination
IN the number of cases from now on. He
declared that all the latest official Informal
ton from the Philippines was favorable to
the early suppression of the scourge The
chief factor in that direction was the rainy
season, which, General Forwood said, had
already opened, and would continue until
November. He added that Lieutenant
Rhoades had undoubtedly been misquoted
in the statement that the heavy rains
would not come until October. The fact
was, said General Forwood, that there have
been very heavy rains as early as July,
and the season is usually at its height by
this time of year. Another thing which
satisfied General Forwood that the authori-
ties had the epidemic well In hand and
would eventually stamp it out, was that
General Chaffee, commanding the troops In
the Philippines had recommended ma
terial reduction in the number of medical
officers assigned TO duty In the archipelago
on the general ground that their services
were no longer needed for the medical
treatment of the troops.

NORTHERN PACIFIC PLANS.
President Mellen Discusses Engineer
ing Problems and Freight Rates.

PORTLAND, Ore, August 13-President
Mellen of the Northern Pacific railroad,
who is here, in response to a question on
the subject, stated that the Northern Pa
cific could not only bridge the Columbia
river at Vancouver, Wash, but also the
willamette river at Portland, and that it
would be necessary also to tunnel the back
bone of the peninsula between the two
rivers.
Mr.. Mellen expressed the hope that the
farmers would be benefited by the reduc-
tion in the grain rates that Is to go into ef-
feet on Friday.
THAT reduction" said he, Twill take
SsoO,OO a year out of the pockets of the
railways in the Columbia basin. l should
feel greater satisfaction with this reduc-
tion if | thought the farmers would get
all the benefit. But, frankly, l believe they
Will get but little of the SSO0, ,00O we lose It
Will be absorbed by the commission men
and SPECTATORS. While | believe this will
be true, | still think the conferences with
the farmers direct will be productive of
good, because of the greater acquaintance
that came out of them and the fact that all
must recognize that the railroads tried to
meet the popular demand. If the farmers
do not get the benefit, they must at least.

Citizens of Sharpsburg, Pa, Alarmed
at the Situation.

PITTSBURG. Pa. August 13.-Sharos-
burg, suburb of Allegheny, is excited to-
DAY over the wreck of a West Penn
freight train of thirty cars loaded with
benzine. gasoline, kerosene and lubricating
oil. and fears are entertained of another
catastrophe such as was visited on Sharl-
dan. Pa. few months ago, when 300 or
more people were killed and injured by an
explosion following a similar wreck.
Where the wreck occurred a tank car,
containing 300 gallons of benzine, broke
and the fluid ran out, forming in pools
aiong the tracks. There are over 10000
gallons of inhammabe material on the
train, and the train men are keeping peo-
pie away from the wreck. Should a spark
fail from d passing engine and ignite the
berzine the results would be terrible, anu
the engineers have been warned to be care
ful while passing the scene of the accident.
No one was hurt in the wreck.

ed instructions.

Adjt. Gen. Corbin has issued an order
giving detailed instructions to the army
officers regarding details at institutions of
the different states where military instruc-
tion is given. This order relates to every
feature of the duty Of officers and the
course of study which must be given at
the institutions where such officers are de-
tailed. During and since the Spanish war
the instructors have been almost wholly
from the retired list. but 1t is presumed
that In the future officers from the active
list may be detailed to these institutions.
A table accompanying the general order
gives the apportionment of details at COL
leges, universities, ETC., based upon a num-
Der Of officers in the army available for
such duty. In this table the states and
territories are grouped according to popu-
lation. One group includes the District
of Columbia and the states of Maryland
and Virginia. The population of this group
is given as .396,7 ,762. There is at present
one detail to this group, and according to
the apportionmcnt it ia entitled to two more
details. AS the one detail already made is
in the state Of Maryland it is presumed
the other two might be divided between the
state of Virginia and the District OF Co.

Moros surprised an outpost of the 27th In

geant Foley and Private Carey were killed

a dozen, were armed with spears and
swords. The morning was dark and foggy.

upon them suddenly. The entire outpost
rushed to the relief of the sentinels, but
they were too late, and the Moros es-
capped, although possibly a few of them
were wounded. The American sentinels
were terribly cut by the swords and spears.
The attacking Moros were all from Ba-
colod, and the occurrence will probably re-
suit in move against that town, which
has strong fort and other defenses.

son given by army officers who have ar

GONE TO BARCELONA.
The Cincinnati Has Sailed From Porto
Cabel1o

Over night the Navy Department received
word that the Cincinnati had sailed yester-
day from Porto Cabello for Barcelona,
Venezuela, under the instructions cabled
yesterday to Commander Mclean, directing
either the Cincinnati or Topeka to proceed
Immediately to that point. Commander
Mclean, who is the senior officer present,
evidently decided to go himself and leave
the Topeka to protect American interests
at Porto Cabello. 1t is probable that the
Cincinnati has already arrived at BARGE
Iona, but that fact may not be officialiy
known here for several days, as Minister
Bowen cabled the State Department from
Caracas today, stating that the cable from
Caracas to Barcelona had again been cut
by the revolutionists. Monday he reported
that this cable had been cut but presum-
ably il had been repaired in the interim,
and his latest dispatch indicates that the
connection has again been lost.
Report of Pillaged Consulate.
Neither the State nor Navy Department
has received confirmation of the press dis
patches from Port of Spain, which were
conveyed there from Barcelona by boat. of
the extent Of fighting at Barcelona, and of
the report that the American, Italian and
Dutch consulates had been pillaged. The
officials of the Navy Department are con-
fident that Commander Mclean, with the
Cincinnati will be able to take care Of
American interests there.
Owing to the general disturbed condition
of affairs all along the line of the Venezuc-
Ian coast and the appeals of Minister
Bowen for warships, the question Of
whether our naval force in those waters is
sufficient to take care of the existing Sit
uation and to meet future contingencies
has been canvassed. and for the present it
has been decided that it is unnecessary to
send an additional vessel. We now have
three ships at the three critical points, the
Cincinnati at Barcelona, the Topeka at
Porto Cabello, where the Germans have
already landed a force, and the Marietta
at the mouth of the Orinoco, which has
heen declared blockaded by the Castro
government.
An Asylum for Castro.
The question of affording an asylum to
President Castro aboard an American wa
ship in case he should be obliged to fee
from the country, and should have no
other means Of escape, has not been seri-
ously considered by the State Department,
as it is not believed that his condition at
present is desperate enough to make su III
move imperative. Besides it is report ted
through the press dispatches that he had
vessel at La Guaira upon which he can
embark for France if the necessity aIises.
