 FROM DEEP Steamer St. Paul is
 a Wreck.
Passengers and Crew Awak. ened From Sleep as the Ship Went on the Rocks Eut All Were Saved.

Eureka, Cal, Oct 6.-Fast upon the rocks one and ORe-half miles south of Point Gorda. and beside the boilers of the old steamer Humboldt, the San Francisco and Portland Cos steamer St Paul, Captain Randall, lies total wreck. It's ninety three passengers and crew of sixty-fiye men are safe. Some are on board the steamer Pomona, en route to San Francisco, but the greater number are in Eureka, having arrived on the tug Ranger of Eureka and the steamer Vanguard. The captain and most of the crew are in Eureka. The Ranger came into port last evening at 1O:30 o'clock bringing five passengers and the Vanguard docked shortly be- fore midnight. Captain Randall states that the disaster was due 10 the fog and attaches blame to no one The first warning he had of danger was the roar of the surf, when he lmmedi- ately changed the ships course. A moment later it struck bow first. It now lies with its sterm toward land, 200 yards from the beach, with two lines fast ashore.
 When the ship struck the rocks the shock awakened the passengers and the watch below. Considering the cir cumstances there was unusually good order preserved among all on board, says the captain, and there was no panic or unnecessary confusion.
 Captain Randall and the masters of the Ranger and Vanguard consider the St Paul a total wreck. both ship and cargo. It had aboard HOO tons of miscellaneous freight.

HEALTH OF ARMY
Death Rate Higher Than in Any Other
 Country.

Washington, Oct 6-Surgeon Gener. al k. M. O'ReilIy of the army, has submitted to Secretary Taft all ex- haustive report on the health condi- tions of the army. The report says that the enlisted strength of the ar my as shown upon the monthly sick reports was JS.740, and on the re turns of the military secretary 60. 0.139, and calculations are made upon the latter figures. There were 79,5SG lad missions to the sick report" during the year. 4OG deaths from all causes. and 1877 discharges for disability. The figures, he says, show a steady improvement in the health of the ar my. The report says that by far the most important diseases affecting the efficiency of the army during the year have been those resulting from inl- moral habits, which caused 16 per cent. of the sickness. As to the caus- es of death pneumonia advanced to first place and tuberculosis second

 Iuf sIfeuELU OI DIlceTs Nds o,t-I from the medical department reports and 3,s1J from the military secretary. There were 2.276 admissions and :!7 deaths
 Comparisons with foreign armies shows that the highest rate of ad- missions is in the American army arfd the lowest in the Russian. The high est death rate was in the American army and the lowest in the Prussian. The highest non-effectiye rate was Tn the American army and the lowest in the Prussian.
 The comparatively high American death rate for tuberculosis is explai1- ed by the fact that in the United States tuberculosis patients are sent to sanitarium and retained for long periods, while in other armies they are promptly discharged
