FROM WASHINGTON.
correspondence Of Alexandra Gazettel

Correspondence Of Alexandria Gazettel
The special squadron, consisting Of
the cruisers, California, Colorado,
Pennsylvania and Washington, sailed
from Chimbote, Peru, for Valparaiso,
according to dispatches received at the
War Department today. The four
ships will represent the United States
at the centennial celebration at San
Diego. Chile. At the close Of the cele-
bration three of the ships will return ID
Mare Island and the Washington will
continue her voyage around the horn OF

Army surgeons are on the alert to
suppress what appears to be an epi-
demic of typhoid fever which has
broken our in Company A of the first
battalion OF Engineers at Washington
Barracks. There are seven cases I'M
der treatment at the Walter Reed
Hospital and three suspects under
observation. The army surgeons are
watching the other men Of the COM
pany closely for symptoms. 1t is the
opinion of he surgeons that the fever
was contracted by the men on the
march from the Gettysburg encamp-
ment. Two cases appeared within
eleven days after the arrival OF the
troops at the barracks.
Stating that Hinrichs is quarantined
only as matter Of safety and precau-
ton. DR.. S. c.. Cox, the ball player s
physician, today issued a complete de-
NAL of the story in circulation to the eff
Ject that grave doubts are entertained
for his recovery" Hinrichs was
stricken with infantile paralysis here
sometime ago after pitching only one
game for the Washington baseball
team. He came from California and
was considered a good find" with a
brilliant future, by experts. "Hinrlchs
condition is most encouraging, SAID
the doctor today, and although he
may never pitch ball again his recOv-
cry in every other detail is almost a
certainty. Some think that the disease
is infectious and Hinrichs is only quar-
antined as a matter of precaution, not
because his condition is most critical. "
Continuing the doctor said: 1T is prac-
tically impossible 70 say when the
quarantine will be lifted. The effect
OF the disease as manifested upon Hin
richs is a contraction of the muscles IN
the left leg. We have undertaken to
counteract this through a systematic
massage treatment.
With all the government depart
ments closed, Washington celebrated

ment From there they will come
through the Suez Canal heading for
Portsmouth. The two boats are OF
less than one thousand tons each.
They left the Pacific coast several
weeks ago and reached Bombay with
out mishap of any kind.

AerOnaut In a Fog.

New York, Sept. 5.-Lost in a heavy
fog and guiding his aeroplane by sound
alone is the latest aerial thriller OF
which Capt. Thomas s. Baldwin was
the central figure. Baldwin made an
ascension in his biplane in Garden City
yesterday and ran into dense bank OF
fog. He lost all idea Of direction
and could see nothing by which to
guide his course. The situation was
rapidly becoming desperate, as the
aviator was afraid to go ahead and
equally afraid to descend. Finally he
caught the sound Of another aeroplane
in the air and directed his course by it,
and he soon tackled onto the machine Of
Harry Hardness. Following Hardness
machine, Baldwin soon got out OF the
fog and was able to land in safety.

Military.


pIoyed and Desperate Clash with
Military.
Milan, Sept. 5.-Yirtual martial law
prevails today in Barletta, the centre OF
the Italian cholera zone, as the result
OF Yesterdays clash between several
thousand starving and unemployed
people and the military. Driven to
desperation by the rigid rules since the
cholera outbreak, mobs broke through
the military cordons, stormed the town
hall and invaded the hospitals. The
wrath Of the people was directed chiefly
against the doctors and many we're
forced TO flee.
When reinforcements arrived,
pitched battle ensued. Some thirty
soldiers we're wounded, several being
shot, when the commander gave the
order to charge with bayonets. This
resulted in clearing the streets, though
score or more OF the rioters were
seriously injured.
Men. women and children engaged
in the fight. Fifty Of the ring leaders
were arrested.
The disorder was the elimination Of
series OF alleged abuses frolh which
the people have suffered. Since the
cholera outbreak, the importation and
sale of vegetables and other fresh foods
has been practically prohibited. Peo-
nile suffered for drinking water. the au-
thorities shutting off all supplies not
known to be free from infection. These
hardshps, added to the long standing
labor depression and the eviction of
thousands for failure to pay extortion-
ate rents, worked the populace into a
frenzy. Had reinforcements not ar
rived, it is believed the mobs would
have wrecked the city.
The government has promised to in
vestgate the complaints Of the people.
Hundreds are now living in caves.

And the fact that those named were the

JEFF still the master Of them all. and I

the men named, for 1 don't hesitate to
say he was every bit as quick as those
men and as clever.
Jeffries takes punishment with the
same degree of nonchalance as did Nor
rissey; is clever like Mace, but with an
improved style, and he is bigger than
OBaldwin. He is better on his feet than
Coburn. and he has everything that any
one else ever had-in fact a little more.
including that famous knockout punch
with the left hand, and he doesn't need to
send it along more than seven inches to

Will Columbia Play Foot BallP

With the radical revision that has al
ready been made in foot ball legislation
and that which is being promised at the
hnal meeting OF the rules committee this
week there has been started a discussion
as to whether or not the new rules will
be such as will enable Columbia to play
the great college game once more. Ever
since the game was abolished at Column
ola after the season Of 1905 the Columbia
students have been living in yearly hope
that the rules as amended each year
would make the game safe enough to in
duce the Columbia authorities to reverse
their rule prohibiting it,
mere is every reason to believe that
When the rule makers get through with
the code this year the game will be as
safe as it was twenty years ago, and that
virtually all the undesirable features
which caused Its prohibition four years
ago Will have been eliminated. Every one
VINO Is familiar with the athletic situation
at columbia recognize that only the re-
admission of foot ball into the curriculum
OF the colleges sports will prevent the
Blue and White from sinking into
athletic oblivion. Columbia's graduates
and undergraduates realize it. too. and
when the time comes they NAV he ex-
pected to make forceful demand of the
university authorities to re-establish foot
ball. A0"'
The supporters of foot ball have just
won decisive victory in the middle west,
where six Of the leading institutions of
the Missouri valley. including Kansas.
Nebraska, Missouri and three Others. this
week voted in conference to retain foot
pan. Ihat foot ball is still the most
popular of our college sports was indi-
Gated by the fact that the vote for its
retention was unanimous, though some Of
the individual delegates opposed it. With
the rules radically amended and some sort
OF supervision exercised to reduce the ex-
cesses OF scholastic foot ball the Rridiron
game Is sure to thrive this fall as It
never has before
