did not forget that the people of New-Jersey

people of the South had been taught to believe

CALLS REEDS REPORT "FRENzIED."
General Davis Forwards Sanitary Report Dis
orediting Attack.

Washington March 2S.-The following cable mes
sage from Panama made public at the War
Department to-day:
Secretary of War, Washington:
The following is the substance of the report of
Colonel William c. Gorgas, medical corps, U. s. A..
chief sanitary inspector, for the month Of Febru-
ary 1905:
Sick in hospitals ISL; the entire force the rolls
for the month of February, 100; percentage of sick
in hospital therefore less tnan per cent: number
Deaths 8. which is equivalent to rate of IA per
thousand per annum.
The French began work in 1884, during which
year their entire force averaged 92S. and their
deaths in the Ancon hospital only were q, or at
the rate of 81 per thousand per annum, nearly five
times the American rate.
The deaths from yellow fever in the Ancon Hos
pitaI only during the year 1881 were %, aver
age force OF 928 while the deaths from yellow
fever during the last ten months in force aver
aging $500 only 6. The French statistics only
relate TO the Ancon hospital. If all deaths among
the employees under the French during that time
along the entire line included the mortality
would be much higher. The last of yellow
fever to occur in Panama was on March s. and the
last from Colon on March is. The totA-
Der of among the entire population the
isthmuS during January was 10; during February,
13, and during March, to date of this cable. 9. The
present sanitary force consists of more than one
thousand employees, costing more than $4,000
monthly.
This report, together with Colonel Gorgas's letter
OF February sent you February 3. is, in my opn-
ion. sufficient reply TO DR.. Reeds 'frenzied' re-

Russia refused
RUSSIAN FINANCES.
British Press Charged aoith attempt
to Rain Nations Credit.

London, March 2S-M Routkowslzy. the Rus
sian financial agent in London, has sent a long
letter to the London newspapers protesting Wig
orously against what he calls the deliberate
campaign carried on in the last three years. not
only by the British press, but also through or
gans connected with the British press in Amer
lea and France to damage Russian credit by
predicting insolvency and population The let
ter says:
Millions of families in Europe have invested
the savings Of lifetime in Russian securities
ana would be ruined by the sale Of the bonds
IN panic 1t is criminal to attempt to ruin
such people by misstatements and misrepre-
sensations, and in an individual case any court
OF law would award damages to the sufferers
NJ. Routkowsky proceeds to deny that Russian
budgets are in chronic state of deficit On
the contrary. he says. the surplus of ordinary
income over expenditure In the last ten years
aggregated $900,000.O00. which has been spent.
not unproductively. but mostly for the purchase
and construction OF new railways and the con-
version of high interest debts He adds:
1t is not true that the revenues of the rail-
roads do not cover the working expenses On
the contrary, the revenues not only cover ex-
penses but also meet all fixed charges and
with the development Of new country will be
still more productive.
NJ. Routkowsky then gives details of the State
debt, contending that the British national debt
requires much larger annual expenses for in
terest and sinking fund in proportion to the
annual national income than does the Russian
national debt. and that there is nothing to alarm
Russian investors in view of the country's prac-
tically unlimited resources.
In conclusion NJ. Routkowsl1y declares his con-
viction that public opinion does not approve of
the campaign which, he asserts, has been carried
on from political motives.
