A Spanish War Criticism.

When the Spanish war came upon
us Commo lore Dewey was at Hong
kong. The navy department had sent
him no preliminary orders. He didn't
know anything about the ultimate pol
icy or what the ultimate plan of cam
paign would be. The navy department
didn't itself know. Dewey should
have moved two or three days sooner
than he did, and two or three days
sometimes are vital. But our Wash
ington officials were only aroused to
the necessity of giving Admiral Dewey
an order by a cablegram from Dewey
Informing them that the British gov
ernor of Hongkong insisted that our
fleet must leave there. We were SO
dazed by the immediate exigencies Of
war that the English government had
to prod us In the ribs to wake US up.
Then our Washington authorities is
sued an order and not till then. They
told Dewey to proceed to the Philip
pine Islands and capture or destroy
the Spanish feet. In other words.
they gave him the stereotyped war or
der in the phraseology of the signal
code. which. literally translated, read:
Go ahead and do the best you can.

The Spread of
Contagious Diseases.

There is at all times danger of the
spread of contagious diseases through
many channels Contagious diseases
are due to their respective germs,
some of which are more virulent than
others. Rabies is contagious disease
but is seldom, if ever. transmitted,
except through bite from a rabid
animal tuberculosis is another con-
tagious disease, and is usually spread
from cows to calves and pigs through
the milk, or by healthy animals coming
into contact with diseased ones or, in
case of hogs, where they are following
cattle in the feed lot and the cattle
nave tubercular ulcers IN the bowels.
Chambers is transmitted by coming in
contact with the discharge from the
nostrils, or from ulcers on the legs or
body, or through drinking fountains.
There are others diseases of horses,
cattle and hags that are more virulent
and more acute in their attack and
more easily distributed. Hog cholera
, germs are easily carried by the feet of
coyotes, dogs, men and other animals
and distributed from one farm to
another, thus spreading the disease
through whole community or country
and finally through the State. Anthrax
and many other diseases are spread in
like manner. A recent outbreak of
contagious disease among horses was
noted in which the germs of the malady
we're apparently carried to an adjoin-
ing farm either by dogs or on the shoes
of individuals. In these cases all dead
carcasses should be buried IN lime or
burned, preferably the latter, and all
premises thoroughly disinfected, all
stray dogs disposed of, and general
quarantine rules observed.
