HEALTH OF THE TROOPS.
Now tbat oar valiant defenders
bare disposed of the Spanish army
and fleet in Eastern Cuba, the first
duty is to look to the health of the
men. The wounded at the battle of
Santiago hare been well handled.
They have been brought back to our
own ports, and all who were able to
travel permitted to go home for
sixty days. Many of those more
seriously wounded will be nursed in
fully equipped hospitals at Fort
Monroe. - The health of the army
remaining atSantiago becomes a mat
ter of earnest concern, Climatis
conditions were unfavorable, of
course, during the three weeks occu
pied by the a Jvance after the land
ing in Cuba. Onr troops are not
accustomed to the tropics in summer
nor to the tension of life in the
trenches under fire, poorly fed, sub
ject to a deluge of rain by day and
a chilly atmosphere by night. Ex
citement will sustain soldiers for a
time, but much sickness is sure to
result from such an experience with
men of northern birth. All the sam-
- tary surroundings of Santiago are
especially unfavorable at this time.
Thousands of wretched refugees are
in the neighborhood of the city and
the insurgents who have flocked in
are hungry and half naked. The
Spanish so.'diers are in a low state of
health from so much exposure and
privation.
Now is the time for the Napole
ons of the medical department to
take hold and prove the claims ot
their modern science. Probably a
large number of troops will be
brought back, and they should be
assigned to camps where their usual
tone of health can be best restored.
There are pleasant islands along the
Atlantic coast where the men can
pitch their tents and enjoy the fresh
sea breezes while they recuperate.
One of the first duties at Santiago is
to isolate the yellow fever cases and
-stamp out the disease as quickly as
possible. No doubt the ,best policy
is to bring away at once all the regi
ments that can be spared and locate
them beyond the breeding places of
the pestilence. Transports that were
to take troops forward can now be
used to bring them away. Every
life that can be saved and illness
prevented will be to the credit of the
army medical corps, whose operations
now become all important.
It has been stated that the wound
ed at Santiago are doing remarkably
well; that the wounds heal rapidly,
without fever or suppuration, and
that the death will be comparative! j
few. The antiseptic methods cf
surgery have been adopted since the
' civil war and their value is perfectly
established. But it remains to be
proved that disease in the army is
treated more successfully than in
former days. Probably it is, but
the fact is yet to come out in sta
tistics. In every camp the laws of sanita
tion should be strictly enforced and
medical officers are justified in con
stantly demanding the earnest co-op
eration of those in authority. Much
of the disease of army, life is plainly
preventible. The men themselves
should be more ready to welcome
and observe hygienic regulations.
While the army is inactive is a good
.time to wage a-successful medical
and sanitary campaign. Globe
Democrat. SEEKERS A FTER NOTORIETY.
Many of the correspondents who
Lave spent the last two years In
Cuba have taken the attitude of ad
visers in general to the Cuban in
surgents. Some of them-have gone
further and have assumed the full
responsibility for the conduct of the
war on the part of the United States.
It was inevitable tbat some of these
adventurers, gifted in-the matter of
impudence and courage, should come
to trrief. Sylvester Scovel is the
first to be disciplined.
Scovel has always been re ore of an J
adventurer than a correspondent.
He is a product of that yellow jour
nalism tbat cares less for news than
for sensational vaporing; a graduate
in that school of journalism tbat hires
young women of good repute to seek
arrest by playing the disreputable,
and that counts notoriety more de
sirable than fame. Scovel, naturally
an egotist, was spoiled by success
won by indomitable will and un
shrinking impudence, until he be
lieved himself to be of supreme im
portance to the universe, and most
particularly to the army and navy of
the United States. lie was for a
lime on the cruiser New York, but,
according to the account of one of
his friends, he acted as though he
were a more important personage
than Admiral Sampson. Transferred
to the army in front of Santiago, he
conceived the notion that he was
necessarily ot more importance than
General Shafter.
Consumed by a desire to write "I
myself raised the American flag over
the palace," he had arranged a plan
which the guards would not permit
him to carry out. Thereupon he at
tempted to pull General Shafter
from his horse and slapped the gen
eral face. Foiled in his scheme to
burn incense to his own egotism, this
seeker after notoriety assaulted the
general commanding the victorious
army and was at once arrested. This
will probably suit his purpose, be
cause it will cause" him to be talked
about the worm over, liui so was
Guitcau.
Once before hcovel committed an
offense that put him outside the list
of army correspondents. This time,
for the credit of journalism and the
credit of the army, he should be sent
home in disgrace. The worst of the
matter is that his employers may
make merchandise of his discharge
and in this way encourage an eccen
tricity that has been the unmaking of
many a good newspaper man.
The people of this country are
tired beyond measure of the vapid
carrespondent who is alwiys telling
what he himself did and never of
what the army did. If General
Shafter could gag and muzzle all the
superficial egotists who make every
reference to a maneuver or a battle
the occasion of self praise, he would
confar a favor second only to his
victory at Santiago.
CUBAN GRIEVANCES.
Cuban grievances because of fan
cied slights at Santiago are cleverly
made, but when all the facts are
brought to light General Shafter's
conduct of the operations before and
after the surrender of Santiago will
be found to be almost perfect. While
the Cuban allies rendered signal ser
vice to the marines at Guantanamo,
the main body of the army of Garcia
failed in its task of preventing rein
forcements reaching Linares. When
the Cuban general reported that be
was unable to prevent the advance
of the Spanish column, be gave as a
reason that it was a supeiior force
He had under him, by a most mod
est estimate, 2000 Cubans, fairly
well armed and plentifully supplied
with rations from the supplies of the
American invaders. The report of
General Toral shows tbat his total
reinforcements were no more than
3500, and not a few of these were
stragglers who came from some
points near by,
It therefore appears that Garcia,
with 2000 well-fed men, failed to
stop the advance of 3000 of tin ene
my. This might be forgiven if the
conduct of the Cubans in subsequent
operations had not proved disap
pointing, iney were called upon
to assist wounded to the rear, to dig
trenches and aid in other duties
which fell to the lot of all American
troops. These duties were as much
a part of the success of the attack
upon Santiago as the aim of the rifle
men and artillerymen. It was not
in keeping with the offer of the Cu
bans to place their soldiers under
complete control of the American
commander, and refuse to perform
such duties.
. With this spirit of semi-insubordination
fresh in mind Shafter could
not reasonably be expected to turn
the city over to the. control of the
Cuban allies. ' " 7.
The United States, Garcia will be
given to understand, is not waging
the war in Cuba to place certain Cu
bans in control of the islar.d. The
war is earned on for the sake of hu
manity, to prevent . those evils which
Shatter has reason to believe may be
repeated, if vengeful native are
placed in power. To reconstruct
the government of Santiago from
the foundation is a task which is
difficult with unlimited forces at his
command, and he evidently finds
that he can best placate and govern
his conquered foes by continuing the
best of their petty officials in office.
. If it is found that they are want
ing in executive capacity they will
be instantly supplanted.
Cubans lose prestige when they
begin so eaily to sulk. . They have
been treated fairly from the moment
the first landing was made by Amer
can troops. Food has been fur
nished ' in abundance, clothing "has
been supplied and ammunition is
tbeir for the asking. In return the
United States asks that they become
allies in fact and permit American
officers to exercise what.in their
judgment is the best plan for gov
erning conquered territory. Spokes
man-Review.
Admiral Montojo says he gets
more justice from his avowed ene
mies, the Americans, than he docs
from his own countrymen. . Admiral
Cervera appears to have the same
opinion as regards his own case. It
is even intimated that he will remain
in the United States after the war is
over. Citizen Genet, who thought
he would be safer in the United
States than he would be at home, re
mained here and grew up with the
country. Equal and exact justice is
sure to be received by every resi
dent of any land over which the
American flag floats.
Gen. Correa, the Spanish minister
of war, thought on Thursday that
"if Santiago had not already been
surrended the garrison would at
tempt to break through the Ameri
can lines." Wisdom at long range is
often hard. The Santiago garrison
had seen tbe result of Cervera's at
tempt to "break through the Ameri
can lines," and had no inclination to
repeat the attempt.
The news that Santiago had sur-
rendered had the effect of advancing
the price of Spanish bonds in all the
Eurooean markets. The meaning of
this is plain enough. ' So long as
Spain was bent upon wasting ber
meagre resources in a hopeless war,
financiers dared not buy her bonds
except at prices fixed by desperate
speculatiion. Now that Spain shows
signs or coming to her senses and
suing for peace her credit improves.
None of the Spaniards now enjoy
ing the bopitality of Uncle Sam has
seen fit to issne a challenge to any
body to fight a duel. The experi
ence in and around Santiago- bas
convinced them that Spanish honor
is safest when muzzled.
Free speech bas been denied by
the Queen Regent. There is noth
ing more .demoralizing to a people
than this. If an American could
not criticise his government occa
sionally, he wonld not fight for per
petuitvv ' -' '
Sagasta says be would not be
thinking of peace "if Spain still bad
her navy." . This is the first instance
on record of a man who bas been
through a horrible calamity wishing
tbat be had to go through it all over
again.
Admiral cervera says . be knows
from experience that the Oregon is
an eighteen-knot ship, though she is
down on the naval register for fifteen
kbots. The Oregan's crew, fonnd
out her strong, points during her
long tud of 13,000 miles.

prolongs ; life. It is inexpensive, effective. Medical
science is revolutionized over this, one of the greatest
achievements of modern times.
The fact that several dollars spent for the
right medicine has effected a cure where a

the latest and most ingenious instrument of

Important, because it opens to downcast

Lancaster, Pa.
From a weak, nervous, desponding per
son, she was made a strong, active woman
and a cheerful, helpful wife.
Her story is interesting.
.Mrs. Herr suffered terribly from female
disorders. Her nerves became unstrung,
cramps griped tier and caused the most
intense pain.
So weak and physically demoralized
was she, that the slightest labor wearied
her and household duties were a burden.
.The most alarming symptoms of her
malady were the frequent fainting spells
that afflicted her.
In the midst of her work, or in a con
versation, dizziness would come upon her
and she would fail prostrate in a swoon.
She consulted a reputable physician. He
diagnosed her case and prescribed the usual
remedies.
Instead of improving, she continued to
grow worse the ailment that was robbing
her life of the joys of young womanhood
became more pronounced.

it never fails, and is a sure cure for con
sumption, coughs and colds. I cannot
say enough for Us merits." Dr. King's

It seemed impossible to correct or even to

44 I had become greatly weakened," said
Mrs. Herr, in telling her story to a reporter,
"and the awful cramps and the frequency
and nature of the fainting spells alarmed
me beyond belief and shattered my system.
"I tried electric treatment; it failed, and
I did not know where to turn for help.
"A friend told me how her mother had
been greatly benefited by taking Dr. 'Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
MI had but little hope for success) but de
cided to give these pills a trial.
MI took two boxes and was much bene
fited. After taking six more boxes I was
cured. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People had done what all the previous
treatment had failed to do.
"I am fully restored to health now, and
do things that I had hardly dared attempt
before."
No discovery of modern times has proved
such a boon to women as Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on
the blood and nerves, invigorating the body,
regulating the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted woman
when every effort of the physician proves
unavailing.
These pills are recognized everywhere
as a specific for diseases of the blood and
nerves. For paralysis, locomotor ataxia,
and other diseases long supposed incurable,
they have proved their efficacy in thousands
of cases. Truly they of the greatest
blessings ever bestowed upon m&A.
