CAVALRY PLAYS BRILLIANT PART

General Pew's Defensive Force Is
UnmercifulIy Hammered and in
Spite of Retrograde Move-

(By Associated Press.)

BOSTON, Aug. 1s.-Gen. Tasker H,
Bliss and his invading army of the red
rested tonight at least five miles near
er Boston than they were twentyfour
hours ago, as a result of today's opera
tions in the war game.
The extreme left of the Massachu-
setts army of defense, known as the
blues, under command of Brig. Gen.
William A. Pew, were hammered un-
mercifully, so that the entire left wing
was forced to retreat. The blue army
suffered the loss of one battery and a
wagon train.
Far superior in actual numbers and
in cavalry, the red force sewpt down
upon the blues left and drove them
first into one position and then another
with Irresistible force. For the last
three days Gen. Bliss has moved his
army in three divisions, massed with
the full strength OF mis- cavalry OH his
left flank.
The work of the cavalry arm was
most brilliant and of untold assistance.
From the beginning of the war at
s O'Clock Sunday morning, the red
troops of cavalry have practically done
all the fighting for Gen. Bliss and II
was only in the last hour of today's
battle" that the infantry's strength
of the red army was ordered into
action.

move his right wing, the first brigade
bv a retrograde movement from It's
position in and around Bridgewater to

reinforce the second brigade on the
left wing. which was facing the entire
red army. Forced marches were MADE
during the entire morning, but up to

EP|OEMICS OF DISEASE
RAPIDLY DECREASING
Health Authorities, However, Is
sue Warning to Parents
of City.

The recent epidemics Of contagious
and infectious diseases are going down
swiftly. Only sixteen cases of scarlet
fever were reported within the last
week over the whole city, according to
DR.. S G. Paul, assistant city health
commissioner, and OF this total, two
cases occurred in one house, three III
another, and two in another family.
This spreading of the disease through
4 whole family in the same house Is
caused by the refusal Of careless per
sons to observe common sanitary rules
laid down by physicians.
1t appears that IN some famiheS,
when one child becomes i'll with scarlet
fever. the parents neglect to keep strict
guard over tho patient in the doctor s
absence, and as result, the other chill
dren come In contact with the sick
child Thus, the malady is scattered
through a whole neighborhood, when the
children leave the sick room and 60
out to play. All of the three houses
above mentioned are in the same block
On Vine and Grape streets.
A week ago, there were four cases of
diphtheria in the city. but within the
last week, only one case has been re-
ported Out of six cases Of smallpox,
four cases were reported from the same
house
Whoopng cough and measles are
causing the city health authorities much
worry, They flatly state that, although
the common idea is that these affections
arc not serious, as Il matter of fact
whooping cough and measles cause
many deaths in this city. These two
diseases are rarely encountered among
grown persons, but the mortality
caused by them among infants is fright
full
The health authorities urge all par
ents to Immediately report all cases Of
whooping cough and measles.

In searching Chinatown last night the
detectives raided the private rooms Of
Chu Gain, owner OF tho famous Port Ar

about two hundred letters which had
been addressed 10 him by Elsie Sige
These letters were even more endearing
In tone than those found in Leon Ling's
room. In these she addressed him as MY
own dearest beloved" MY own dear
Chu," and ''Eyer your loving Elsie" she
frequently signed herself. The Chu Gain
letters gave the first information as to
the motive for the murder. Miss SIgel
told Chu Gain In some OF these letters
of her conduct with Leon Ling She told
him not TO be Jealous and explained her
object In maintaining her friendship for
Ling. The police will not give out the
full contents of these letters
1t is now supposed that Leon Ling de-

AMSTERDAM, N. Y, June 21.-The
Chinaman arrested today at West Gal
way admits that he is Chun Sin, who
formerly occupied a room adjoining that

his night work as a waiter kept him
away'a great deal.
When Leon s association with the
girl was suggested, Chun Sin would
shake his head and say emphaticaly:
