Army's Condition.
VK BLAMES THE NEWSPAPERS

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, N. Y.,
Sept. 5. Major-General Joseph Wheel
er gave the following to the qress to
day: "Headquarters United States Foices,
Camp Wikoff, Long Island, Sept. 5.
The following is a sample of the letters
which are constantly received regarding
the soldiers in the camp
" 'In regard to my stepson, we feel
very uneasy about him on account of
the newspaper reports of the privation
and suffering Inflicted upon the pri
vates. Although he has never uttered
a complaint since he lias been in the
army, we hear from other sources of the
cruel and horrible treatmentinflicted
upon our soldiers under the pretense of
humanity for our neighbors, and the
whole country is in a state of terrible
excitement. I should not be surprised
if the feeling should lead to a revolu
tion of some kind, for I assure you I
hear on all sides the most violent and
bitter denunciations of the war depart
ment and the administration. It is,
indeed, a great pity that the glory of
our triumphs should be dimmed by
euoh a shameful thing as the ill treat
ment and starvation of our brave

h ive the best treatment that the ooun-
tiy can afford.'
"It will be seen that this letter say
that not a word of complaint has been
received from this soldier, and so far
as my investigation goes, no complaint
has been made by any of the brave
eoldiers who have added glory to our
arms in the Cuban campaign. '
"A great many anxious fathers,
mothers, brothers or sisters, arrive here
from all parts of the United States to
look after their relatives, whom they
eay the papers tell them are suffering,
and many of them have heard that
their relatives .are in a condition of
starvation. Most of these people are
little able to expend the money for
such a journey, and they are surprised
when they come here to find their
relatives surrounded with everything
to eat which can be produced by money,
and, if sick m the hospital, they are
grateful and surprised to find that they
are eiven every possible care.
"Every officer and soldier who went
to Cuba regarded it that he was given
a great and special privilege in being
permitted to engage in that campaign,
Thev knew .they were to encounter yel-
low fever and other diseases, as well hi
the torrid hoatot the country, and they
were proud and glad to do so. They
knew that it was impossible for them
to have the advantage of wagon trans
portation, which usually accompanies
an army, and yet officers nnd men were
.'lad to go, to carry their blankets and
their rations on their backs and be sub
jected, without any shelter, to the sun
and rains by day and the hervy hazes
by night. They certainly knew that
the Spanish had spent years in erecf ing
defenses, and it was their pleasure to
assault and their duty to oapture the
Spanish works.
''They were more than glad to incur
these hardships and these dangers.
They went there and did their duty,
each man seeming to feel that Ameri
can honor and prestige was to be meas
ured bv his conduct. The brave men
who won the victories did not complain
of the neglect of the government, but,
on the contrary, they seemed grateful
to the piesident and secretary of war
for giving them the opportunity to in
cur these dangers and hardships. They
realized that in the hurried organiza
tion of an expedition by a government
which had no one with any experience
in such matters it was impossible to
have everything arranged to perfec
tion; and they will testify that under
the oircumstances, the conditions were
much more perfect than any one would
have reason to expect, and that the
president and secretary of war and
others who planned and dispatched
these expeditions deserve high com
mendation. "I have just finished my daily in
spection of the hospitals. With rare
exceptions the sick are oheerfuL I

them, and in all my tours I have not
found a single patient who made the
slightest complaint It is true there
has been great suffering. The climate
of Cuba was very severe upon all our
eoldiers, but instead of complaining
the hearts of those brave men are filled
with gratitude to the people for the

ank Clearing;) Largest
for August.
New York, Sept. 5. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The
smallest failures ever recorded in any
month for five years were those of
August. No other month since the
monthly reports were commenced by
Dun's review, exclusively, has shown
defaulted liabilities as small, within
fl, 000,000, and the ratio of Biich de
faults to solvent business, represented
by exchanges . through all clearing
houses, only $108.70 in $100,000, is
Bmaller by 28.5 per cent than in any
previous month. The clearings have
been the largest ever known in August,
and 28.0 per cent larger than in 1892.
The enormous volume of business in
a month usually one of the most in
active of the year, demands attention.
Postponement during the months of
war of some contracts and purchases
which have not come forward explains
pait of the increase, and the strong
absorption of seeuiities explains part, !
but there has also been a great decline
in the average of prices of all com
modities, so that it takes a much larger
volume of business in tons or bushels
to make up transactions amounting to
a million more than in 1892. It iB,
therefore, striotly true that business is
larger than in the very best of all past
years, and yel there is every prospect
of much further increase.
There is no room to doubt that the
wheat crop, even though it may fall a
shade below some estimates, will prove
the largest ever harvested, and al
though Beerbohm estimates Europe's
crop at 232,000,000 bushels more than
the last year, that would be only ac-out
an average yield, while other evidence
is less favorable. Foreign buying has
been strong, Atlantic exports for the
week having been 8,826,878 bushels,
against 5,584,757 bushels last year,
and Paoiflo exports 458,881 bushels,
against 258,651 bushels last year. But
reoeipts at the West are increasing,
and the price hag dropped 5 cents for
spot, though the September option is
7-8o lower for th week.
The improvement in the iron indus
try has not only continued, but be
comes more impressive because enor
mous business sales have satisfied the
needs of great consumers for months
to come, the demand for products is so
great that both materials and pioduots
oradually advance in price
Bessemer pig has arisen to $10.55 at
Pittsburg; looul ooke at Chicago, and
anthracite foundry at the East, aie
strong, and also bars and plates ad
vanced a share, with most structural
and plate mills filled with orders for
months to come, and 25,000 tons of
rails sold at Chicago for delivery next
year. The advance in tin plates, in
Bpite of production far greater than
was thought possible not long ago, is
evidence that the consumption of steel
in that branch will be heavy. The
wirj-nail works also report a better de-
mand, and the output of Connellsville
coke has started up, 'gaining 10,000
tons for the week.
The woolen mills have rather better
orders this week, but not enough aa
yet to warrant running nearly full
force, with the price of wool held at
the West much above Eastern mar
kets. and bv those markets above lc
hiuher than the mills are bidding.
Failures for the week have been 171
in the United States, against 191 last
vear. and 22 in Canada, against 25
lust year.

luggHge van on the track just as the
express train was approaching at a
speed of 50 miles an hour. The train
was derailed and fearful scenes ensued.
The railway carriages caught fire; the
engineer, the fireman and two passen

San Franscisco, Sept 5. What was
left of the big raft, which was started
down the coast for the Bibb Lumber
Company, and which broke in two off
Point Reyes a few days ago, was towed

At a session of the American Social
Science Association, in Saratoga, N.
Y., the principal address was delivered
by Charles A. Gardiner, A. M., Ph.
D., oounsel for the elevated railroads of
New York city. The subject of the ad
dress was "The Proposed Anglo-American
Alliance,"
Mr. Gardiner spoke of the tendency
to national concentration in .the pres
ent age, declaring that already three
nations, Russia, Great Britain and
America, comprising two raoes of peo
ple, the Slavic and Anglo-Saxon, prac
tically dominate the world. He spoke
of the continual aggression that has for
more than eiuh centuries marked the
polioy of Russia and has spread her
sovereignty over areas in Europe and
Asia too vast almost for human con
ception. Against this aggression, he
Raid. Great Britain has admitted that
she can, unaided by some other great
power, make no successful opposition.
Attention at the present moment, he
said, is direoted to the Russo-British
oontest for supremacy in China. At
this critioal moment, he says, the pos
sibility of an alliance with America,
through consideration of her interests
in the Philippines, is seemingly Great
Britain's only hope of triumph, Said
he:
Shall America keep the islands?
This question has 1 ecome fundamental
to the consideration of an alliance.
Without the Philippines, the prejudices
and environment of the past might con
trol disoussion, but without then, an
alliance becomes the most important
pioblem of our New World relations.
It has taken us neatly a century to
push our domain aoroes the continent
and along 4,000 miles of the Pacific
coast by conquest, annexation and pur
chase. Within 100 years we nave ex
panded our territory westward over 3,
250,000 square miles. We are now en
gaged in pushing our coast line 2,000
miles further out to Hawaii. We own
the Aleutian islands, almoBt at the
gates of Japan. In Samoa we hafe
naval and coaling rights. An island
in the Ladronea will soon be ours.
Why turn back from the Philippines?
It is objected that the islands are
extraterritorial and noncontiguous; but
Porto Rico is 1,000 miles from Florida;
Hawaii is 2,000 miles from San Fran
cisco; the nearest point of Alaska is
500 and its farthest point 1,600 miles
from Seattle; and the Aleutian islands
extend not only 2,400 miles from our
borders, but into the geographical sys
tem of another continent.
"It is objected that military govern
ment mav have to be maintained lor
years, contrary to the spirit of our in
stitutions; but military government
existed in the Southern states from
1S68 to 1870, and in Alaska from 1868
to 1884.
'It is objected that colonial or terri
torial government may exist indefinite-
Iv, while statehood is contemplated in
the constitution; but Alaska has been
a territory for 81 years, and Arizona
and New' Mexico for 52. It was 59
years before Wisconsin and 83 years be
fore Montana became states.
'It is objected that the inhabitants
are alien races habituated to other in
stitutions and forms of government, but
Florida, when acquired, was peopled
by Indians and Spaniards; Louisiana
by Spaniards, Frenoh and negroes;
alien races and institutions existed in
New Mexico and Arizona; and Alaska
had Indians in the Yukon and Russians
in Sitka.
"It is objected that we will abrogate
the Monroe doctrine; but that doctrine,
fieed from its academic oobwebs, is the
nonintervention of European powers
matters relating to the American con
tlnent. Its oonverse is noninteivention
of America in matters relating to the
European oontinent. That has nothing
to do with American intervention in
Asia nor with legitimate expansion of
our territory in the Orient. If we are
abrogating the dootrine, it must be b
cause the Orient is exclusively for Ori
entals. and not for English and Rus-
sians. and Germans and French and
Hollanders, who are all there now and
are fast appropriating the Orient to
themselves.
"Finally, it is objected that we will
be involved in entangling alliances, an
will depart from precepts of Washing
ton's farewell address; but 8paln pro
voked continuous trouble at our very
doors for a hundred years. Mexico and
Central and South Amerioa have had
revolutions without number; Great
Britain bounds our territory for thou
sands of miles; and yet, for a century,
we have avoided entangling alliances,
although both propinquity and provoca
tion exist.
"The nations of Europe are encen
trating their energies on the shores ol
the Pacific. England pushed through
the Canadian railway to foster her Pa
cific tiade. Russia is building a trans
Siberian road for the same purpose;
ing for the trade of the Pacific, ours is
the only one naturally entitled to it.
London and Paris and Berlin and St.
Petersburg are on the other side of the
globe, but we have a Pacifio ooast line
of 4,000 milea. The Philippines means
our ultimate supremacy in the Pacific.
They are the easternmost boundary of
the markets of the East. On one side
is China, on the other they look across
to our own shores. Stretching l.uuu
miles from north to south and 600 frtm
east to west, they form a natural bar
rier between the East and the Pacific.
Scattered over 600,000 square miles of
the ocean's surface, the whole vast
area would serve as an outpost from
which to protect and develop the inter
ests of America.
Facing the Pacific and Indian
oceans is more than hall the popula
tion of the globe. Exolnding North
America, the foreign com meroe of these
peoples already amounts to $2,500,
000,000 a year. HiBtory shows that
whatever nation oontrols this com
merce controls the trade of the world.
The stake at issue is stupendous. Noth
ing less than an entire and undivided
control of the Philippines would give
us a base adequate for our needs. Ma
nila bay, or even Luzon, for a naval
and coaling station, would be too peril
ous and costly a possession, will all the
other islands partitioned and garri
soned by European powers. Let Eng
land's experience with India and China
be a warning. Lidia, conquered and
governed, has been a mine of wealth.
China, exploited through the trading
posts, is a burden and a oonstant peril.
"We want the Philippines, not Ma
nila, just as England today needs Cen
tral China, and not simply Hong Kong.
We own the Philippines by right of
conquest; no other nation does. Wa
are in possession; no other nation is.
We can maintain stable government;
Spain cannot, and the nativeB are in
capable of self-rule. I can conoeive no
reason to give away, or sen or lease or
abandon a single foot of the territory.
It would be to lessen in that proportion
the greatest opportunity Providence
ever placed before the nation.
"With the Philippines, Ladrones,
Samoa and Hawaii, our possessions will
reach across the Pacific, and its com
merce will become the oommeroe of
America in a larger degree than of any
other nation. The Pacific itself will
be oura pre-eminently; our territory
will bound it on two sides; our islands
will dot its surfaoe; and with the ocean
and its trade in our possession, our po
litical predominance will be assured
among the nations of the world.
"Such is the broad plane ot interna
tional relations upon which alone it is
ise to discuss an Anglo-American al
liance."
Professor Gardiner then explained
that he did not mean an alliance as the
word is understood in Europe a mili
tary co-partnership but a strong com
mercial alliance, protected an arbitra
tion treaty which would, in his estima
tion, better assure universal peace than
any other thing that could be brought
about. He then went on to show that
America had profited more by the mar
kets opened through Great Britain s
efforts than any other nation, save
Great Britain herself. For these great
benefits, he held, America should give
something in return, and an alliance
such as he Eusgested would make the
Anglo-Saxon race masters of the world,
not less to the advantage of America
than of Great Britain.

Astoria, Sept. 8. From present in
dications, the fall fishing season this
year will be the most important in the
history of the salmon industry. Nearly
all the canneries on the lower Colum
bia will operate, and it is probable a
latee pack will be put up. The pack
era are offering 2 cents per pound for
fish, but the price will, no doubt, be
raised before the season is over. The
shortage in the spring pack is nearly
100,000 cases, and all the canneries are
oversold. To make up this deficiency
a laree auantity of fall fish will be
packed.
The canners will have lively compe-
tition in the fall fishing industry. An
aaent of a big Portland cold-storage
concern has been in the city for soma
davs past, and has notified the fisher
men that he will pay 5 cents a pound
for silversides and steelheads delivered
in Portland. His company supplies
the Eastern markets, wheie the supply
of salmon is never equal to the domand
and the price is correspondingly high
Doubtless the cold-storage people wil
be able to get all the fish they can
handle, as the price offered by them is
much higher than that offered by the
packers. This will probably result in
a decrease of the supply for canneries.
Dining the spring Beason the boats
belonging to the canneries sold at least
one quarter of their catches to the cold
storage oompanies, and it is more than
likely that this action will be repeated
during the fall season. The packers
who operate traps will not be as seri
ously handicapped as those who depend
entirely upon the gillnet fishermen.
The packers cannot possibly pay 4$
oents for fall salmon, if, aa they claim,
that price cannot well be paid foi
spring fish, so tho cold-storage peopU
will get the bulk ol the season's catch,
if their offer hold good.
Every indication points to a good ron
of salmon, which are large and of ex
oel'ent quality. Many fishermen,
trappers and seiners, are ready to begin
fishing September 10.
Shipments of spring salmon to East
ern and European marxeia oonunue,

Most of the salmon goes by rail, al
thoueh the San Franoisco steameri
take large quantities south.
Asa result of the short pack,' the
price of Columbia river salmon has
been on the rise, and tails are now
quoted at $1.15. It is expected the
price will reach still higher figures.

A Sample or a Uood Mors.
Prof. Dean C. Worcester contribute!
to the September Century an article on
"The Malay Pirates of the- Philip
pines." Speaking of his guide, Profes
sor Worcester says:
Toolawee was considered a' good
Moro, and we were therefore interested
n certain incidents whioh gave us an
insight into his character. After sat
isfying himself by observation that we
could use ouriifles with some effect,
he made us a rather startling business
proposition in the following words:
You gentlemen shoot quite well witu
the rifle." "Yes; we have had soma
experience." "You desire to get sam-
a of the clothing and arms ot my
countrymen for your collection"
Yes." "Papa (General Arolas) told
you, if you met armed Moors outsiuu
the town, to order them to lay down
their arms and retire?" "Yes." "Papa
does not understand my people as 1 do.
They are all bad. When we meet
them, do not ask them to lay down
their arms, for they will come back
again, and get them, and probably at
tack us. Just shoot as many of thern
as possible. You oan then take their
arms and clothing, and 1 will cut on:
theii heads, shave their eyebrows, show
them to papa, and claim the reward tor
killing juramentadoa. " He never real
ly foigave us for refusing to enter into
partnership with him on this very
liberal basis.
A Friendly Ceremony !n Old Cuba.
The Century for September prints
an artiole on "Life and Society in OKI
Cuba," being extracts from the journal
of Jonathan S. Jenkins, an American
painter of miniatures, written in 1859,.
Mr. Jenkins says:
When an acquaintance visits a pri
vate lesidence, cigars are handed rounil
on a silver salver; if the visitor be an
intimate friend, one of the young girls
of the lamily, called a "donzallia,"
lights a cigar and giving it a few-draws
to get well lighted, gracefully presents
It to him. If the guitar is brought in,
as usuallv ocours (for there is one in
every house), and the visitor plays, his
oigar is kept lighted ny tne aonzaiia.
and at eaoh pause m the muBio ene po
litely hands it to the guest. This may
oocur several times in an evening, and
this friendly oeremony is pleasant
enough when the cigar comes from the
pouting lips of a rich SpaniBh Beauty
just ripening into womanhood, but in
any case it must be thankfully accepted.

Chicago, Sept. 2. A special dispatch
to the Times-Herald from Omaha says:
Robbers secured $6,000 in cash from
the Pacifio Express Company in Omaha
todav. The money was consigned by
the First National bank of Omaha to
the Citizens' National bank of St. Paul,
Minn. It was placed in a small iron
safe in the delivery wagon ot the ex
press company and in the custody ol
George Archibald, driver, started to
ward the depot. En route, Arohibald
Btopped at several wholesale bouses for
other packages. He drove down an
alley and went in for a package of jew
elry at the shipping door of a jewelry
house. When he came out the door oi
the safe was standing open and but one

Sternberg Opposed to an Investigation

Washington, Sept. 8."-Surgeon-Gen

letter to a New York niedioal publica
tion whioh had nnide inquiries of him
concerning the oonduct of the war with
reference to the medical department,
and especially about the subject of hav

bureau. He says:
"I am ready at any moment for i
complete investigation with reference

the medical department, but the war
department is not disposed to make
such an investigation as the result ol
