DAVIS SENDS FIGURES WHICH HE
THINKS ARE SUFFICIENT RE-
PLY TO DR.. REEDS FRENzIED
REPORTS.

Washington, March 29-The following
csblegram from Panama was made pub
lie at the War Department.
Secretary of War, Washington
"rhe following is the substance of the
report of Col. William C. Gorgas med
ioal corps, United States army, chief
sanitary inspector, for the month of
February 1905:
"Sick in hospital, 151; the entire force
on the rolls for the month of February.
7, 700; percentage of sick In hospitals,
therefore, less than per cent. Number
OF deaths, 9, which is equivalent to rate
OF IA per thousand per annum
1.-The French commenced work in 1881
during which year their entire force av-
eraged 92S, and their deaths in the Ancon
hospital alone were 70 or at the rate of
81 per thousand per annum, nearly i've
times the American rate.
The deaths from yellow fever in the
Ancon hospital during the year 1881 were
only %, an average force of 92S while the
deaoths from yellow fever during the
last ten months in force averaging
$500 were only six. The French statis-
tics only relate to the Ancon hospital
If all deaths among the employees under
deaths from yellow fever during the
entire line were included. the monthly
average would be higher. The last case
OF yellow fever to occur in Panama was
on March g. and the last case from Colon
or March 16. The total number of cases
among the entire population on the 18TH
mus during January was 10; during Feb
ruary 10 and during March to date this
cable, nine. The present sanitary force
consists of over 1000 employees, costing
over $25,000 monthly.
"This report, together with Colonel
Gorgas letter of February 1. sent you
February 8, is in my opinion sufficient
reply to DR.. Reeds frenzied reports.

a native of Cambridge. Mass, and re-

Paris, March 29.-During the debate in
the chamber of deputies on the separation
of church and state bill, M. Barthou, a
former minister of the interior, argued
strongly in favor of the measure which
he said was the inevitable conclusion ne
cessitated by the pontifical policy. The
speaker said he believed that the success
full carrying. out of the bill depended on
the liberalism of the chamber, while its
rejection meant defeat of republicanism.

MINAHAN VS.. Raglan
IN BATTLE TODAY
Old and New Favorites Will
SLAB BATTLE EXPECTED
Minahan Is With the Cincinnati Reds
Now, and Raean Is Doing Great
Pitching for Bir-
mingham.
SLAB BATTLE EXPECTED

Minahan and Raglan will face each
other in the box this afternoon for the
first time. 1t will be battle royal, for
both of the pitchers are in great shape
and both are delivering a fine article of
ball.
Last year Minahan was Birmlngham's
star twirler, and Cincinnati paid a sum
of money which ran into the four figures
to secure him for this season. This year
Raglan is the star performer to date, and
1t is probable that he will be in the major
leagues next season.
Minahan This Year.
So far this season Minahan has taken
part in every game that the Cincinnati
team has played, sometimes being with
the Colts and sometimes with the Vets
The two sections of the team have divided
several times and played, and each time
Minahan has acquitted himself with
credit. 1t is freely predicted that he
will be one of the stars of the big league
this year, and he seems to have cinched
his berth with the Reds. He is known as
"Minahan, the willing" for he is always
ready to go into the game, play any po-
sition, and pitch If he is called to the
box.
Opposed to Minahan will be Arthur Ra-
gan, whose record last year was the best
according to the percentage column, OF
any pitcher in the Southern league. He
pitched eleven games, won eight Of them,
lost two and tied one.
Ragan's Record.
This year Raglan has been In the box
several times, and has shown the same
article of pitching ability that he showed
last year. He has faced some of the best
batsmen In the two major leagues, and
they have not done many stunts with ms
delivery. He will lower the batting rec
ord of many a Southern Lacquer this sea-
son If his wing holds out and stays In
the condition that 1t Is showing now.
The Reds are travelling in two divisions,
the other of which will be in Birmingham
next week. They are particularly strong
in the pitching department. having Sc
cured three or four men from the minor
leagues this year, and all of them give
great promise. In fact, three of them are
considered the pitching finds of this sea-
son.
Harry Vaughan was with the Reds for
years, being one of the famous catchers
interest in the club. Cincinnati is his
home in the winter. and he is a great
friend of the entire Cincinnati crowd.

SCOTT
AND THE PALI
THE ROAD WAS so NARROW THAT
HE HAD TO INVENT A SPECIAL
SORT OF EASEL.

I'VE have funny experiences even in
the line of art" remarked Alexander
Scott, the celebrated English artist
now in Honolulu there 1 have a pic
ture of the Pail which I painted from
down the road for a gentleman in Ho-
nolulu. The road is narrow there and
as teams were constantly passing there
was no chance for me to put an easel
there. 1 puzzled over the matter and
finally hit on a new plan. 1 had an
iron bracket made and this screwed
on to the far side Of the fence so that
I could step out of the way as teams
came by and not disturb the picture
The British consul, Mr.. Layard, came
by as 1 was at work, and made the
remark that he admired my ingenuity
even more than my painting. 1 don't
know whether to be fiattered or not,
for after all, it was not so very clever"
The new painting of the Pail shows
that remarkable place from a spot un-
usually selected, if indeed it has ever
been selected before. 1t shows the
place in misty, rainy atmosphere with
cold grey clouds driving over it, The
work is of a most striking nature
Incidentally the artist has been en-
gagged on some work that he seldom
undertakes. He has been restoring
some pictures, the property of Godfrey
Brown, which were painted by Bristow
as long ago as 1924. They were eaten
by insects and the paint in some cases
had peeled off but their value was re-
cognized by the artists eye.
Ordinarily it is not work that 1 do"
he said but those old pictures are
extremely interesting and valuable.
was amused to find specimens of Bris-
tow's work out here in Hawaii and
would do less than my duty if did not
aid in preserving them. They are plain
ly specimens of work done by him
from people living in his day and I
understand that one group is of the
Brown family of three generations
ago."
