FRIGHTFUL SANITARY SITUATION Disease Helena Alone Entire Coast Great Effort Be tnc Made to Stamp Ont the Smallpox. WASHINGTON, July SO.

Captain Tuttle says: "The situation along the whole coast I regard as very serious. It is estimated that at present there is within a radius (taking tho United States postofnee as a center) of 10 miles 25,000 people. Most of them are living in tents, either on the beach or tundra. Tho sanitary condition of the portion of the city where huts have been erected is simply frightful. Typhoid fever Is raging, and smallpox steadily gaining. All possible efforts are "being made to stamp out the smallpox, but with so many thousands of tents, scattered over miles of territory, it is Im possible for the health authorities to keep track of all cases. As nearly as can be traced, the disease was Introduced from tho steamer "Oregon. Afterwards the steamers Ohio and Santa Ana were found4 to be infected, and were placed in Quaran tine. The Oregon had left before her cases were discovered. General Randall Is commanding with a firm hand, And, having troops at his disposal, -will main tain order until such time as civil gov ernment is organized. I understand the natives all along the Siberian coast are suffering from influenza and pneumonia, and not disposed to trade for reindeer at present." REVBSiOB CUTTER RUSH REPORTS.

We all stampeded towards the valley, not, how ver, before one of the great boulders had, crashed through the place and killed 20 people. The ashes and small rocks were falling like hail, and it became difficult to breathe. I reached the village of Hl yukule after scrambling through the trees for two or three hours. "Everything seemed to be drying up from the Intense heat. The ashes were hot and covered the ground for half an Inch. One family of 10 who were too frightened to do anything but pray, got hemmed In by the lava and were ground and burned In the field. 8everal men and children from the village played out along the road and most of these were burned to death." REBEL LEADERS AT OUTS. Explanation of the Victory of Gov ernment Forces at Panama. COLON, July 90. Surprise has been ex pressed at the ease and completeness of the victory of the government forces over those of the rebels in the battle of Mon day, July 23. The reasons most gener ally ascribed for the failure of the insur gents are that there had been, a rupture between the leaders in the rebel camp, and that there was little discipline among the troops, who utterly disregarded the General's order to intrench and prepare for attack by the government army. When once tho two forces were face to face, the rebels made a mad rush for the government trenches, but were met with a withering fire, which resulted In a hor rlblo slaughter. Under the direction of government of ficials, tho work of cremating the corpses of those who fell in the battle is pro ceeding. The odor from putrefying bodies and the pyres pervade the atmos phere of the city. DAMAGE BY RAINS. Thousands of People Made Homeless Near Santiago, Chile. NEW YORK. July 30.

George McFad den, the local lightweight boxer, admin istered a severe drubbing to Jack O'Brien, formerly of Halifax, N. 8., but now a resident of this city, before the Twentieth Century Club at Madison Square Garden tonight. The pair met for a 25-round bout at the lightweight limit, 133 pounds, but there were only 12 rounds of fight ing. O'Brien was so badly punished in the twelfth round that he was forced to give up -when tho bell rang for tho be ginning of the thirteenth round, and In stead of putting up his hands for attack or defense, he extended his gloved right hand to McFadden, giving the latter tho bout. In the early stages of the fight O'Brien did fairly well, and with rushing tactics kept McFadden blocking on the defensive but as the battle went on McFadden's superior strength began to tell, and it was plain to be seen- that O'Brien was In difficulty. In the tenth round O'Brien's legs began to give out and it was only a question then how long his pluck and endurance would carry him. In the twelfth O'Brien was sent to the floor three times with lefts and rights over the heart and was in such bad condition when he went to his corner at the end of the round that he was advised to give up. He complained of hla left sldo, but insisted on going on. However, better counsel prevailed, and ho was Induced to shake hands with' McFadden, who would certainly havo put him out in another round. When O'Brien reached his dressing room and was examined. It was discov ered that the fifth and seventh ribs on his left side were broken. There were about 8000 persons in the house, most of whom bad seen the Erne McGovern contest two weeks ago, and it was the impression that McGovern could beat either of the men In tonight's bout. The betting was not very brisk. Mc Fadden was the favorite at 100 to 00 early In the evening, but later these odds were Increased to 2 to 1. being freely laid on McFadden and even money that he would win within 15 rounds. Both men weighed In this evening, each being under the weight of 133 pounds. McFad den was seconded by Billy Roche, Harry Tuttle, Archie Martin and Tommy Shor ten. O'Brien's hadlers were Tom 0Rourke, Paddy Moran and Sammy Kelly. Before the fight came off there was a 12-round go at 105 pounds between Char ley Garrigan and Terry Edwards, both of Brooklyn. The work of these ban tams was amateur and the contest re sulted In a draw. Fnlled to Put Out Two Men. ROCHESTER, N. Y, July 30. Dennis (Kid) McFadden, of dan Francisco, failed In his effort to put two local fighters out in 20 rounds and incidentally was a dis appointment to a crowd of 700 at tho Falls Field Athletic Club this evening. The first bout was between McFadden and Hennessey, of Syracuse, and McFad den had agreed to put his man out in 10 rounds, or lose the purse. He lost. Kid McFadden then had another try with Kid Herrlck. a local aspirant, under the same conditions as the McFadden-Hen-nessey bout, and it was declared a draw. Out In the Fourth Round.

A special to the Herald from Washington says: Lieutenant-General Miles has made few changes In his uniform since he attained his new rank. He Is privileged to devise his own uniform and that of the members of his staff. Since becoming Lleutenant-General he has added a star to his decorations and has adopted a cap of the Russian military type. He has under considera tion changes of uniform of Army officers. These changes will not be radical and will be dictated by economy and greater adaptability for service, with special consideration for the requirements of duty on foreign stations. One of the changes published Is the abandonment of the full dress helmet, which does not add to the personal appearance of the wearer and increases the discomfort of military ap paret. It has been suggested that a cap be worn on all occasions and that a blouse bo adopted which will serve for full dress and undress uniform. The dis tinction for full dress will be attained by additional decorations. The Quartermasters resent any Inter ference "with the uniform regulations and the fact that General Miles is consider ing the subject has already led to some ill-feeling between the Quartermaster's office and the General of the Army.

As a mark of ap preciation of the conclusion of the com mercial agreement between tho United States and Germany, tho Emperor has conferred upon the Ambassador to the United States, Dr. von Holleben, tha THE PB0HSE.0F SUHER TBEXT- EIENT IN CATARRHAL AFFECTIONS What Summer Means in the Cure of Catarrh There are contracted during the periods of Fall, "Winter and Spring those ca tarrhal conditions of the head and throat and other parts that are engaged In carrying air to the lungs. The changeable weather, the cold spells followed by warm periods wth thaws and dampness, to gether with a necessity during the cold weather of living indoors with the house shut up and often overheated, the impure air of closed buildings, all tend to the development of disease of those" parts which carry the air to the lungs and to the ears. Not only does the Inclemency of Spring, Fall and "Winter produce such diseases, but the same causes that pro duce the diseases also Interfere with the efforts of the doctor to cure them. Dur ing the Summer months things are dif ferent. The climate Is warmer, tho high winds loaded with dusty particles that Irritate the diseased parts that carry tho air are absent; there Is plenty of fresh air, as the house Is kep't open, and this, together with outdoor life, so improve tho general health that Nature is able to Improve all those diseases that attack the breathing tracts and cars. Thus, in the treatment of all catarrhal diseases, that which has been frequently urged is true, namely, that one month of treat ment during the Summer, when the lia bility to catching cold Is reduced to the minimum and Nature lends her aid to the physician. Is worth two months of the most skillful and conscientious treatment during "Winter. The total expense to patients at the Cop eland Institute is $5 n. month, treatment and medicines included. That's the limit. Patients not per mitted to pay xnore, even it they so desire. STOMACH DISEASE AND CATARRH I Mr. D. SInvenr East Twenty-seventh and Tillamook streets, Portland: In the past 10 years there has been scarcely a time when I could eat a meal without suffering and distress afterward. Food, Instead of being digested, soured on the stomach, causing bloating and belching. For two or three hours after eating I would belch and gag and raise particles Mr. B. Slavens, East Twenty-seventh and Tillamook streets, Portland. of food, but could not vomit, .and so get relief. My stomach was sore and ten der, so bad at times that I could not bear my clothing to touch me. I also had a bad case of catarrh of the head and throat. I had lntenso pain on the top of my head, which was so severe at night as to prevent me from sleeping. There was a discharge from the head, and the right nostril was so clogged up that I could not breathe through It. There was a constant ringing and buzzing In the ears, and on rising In tho morning my hearing was very dull. The disease finally reached a stage where, if I had not obtained relief, I would soon have been an Invalid. I had lost 30 pounds, and could no longer work. About two years ago Drs. Copeland and Montgomery cured my brother of what we al1 thought was consumption, and I had every confidence In their skill when I began treatment. I was not disap pointed, for I was under treatment but a Bhort time when I began to get better. and now am once more a well man. My stomach is In first-class shape, and the catarrh has been thoroughly cured. IS WAS FEARED SHE WAS GOING INTO CONSUMPTION Mrs. X. A.

Minister White Homeward Bonnd. CHEBBOUBG, July 30. Andrew D. White, United States Ambassador at Ber 1 gatgbafefefi What Summer Means in the Cure ol Lung Troubles If Dr. Copeland were asked"yrhat medi cal training would accomplish tho great est good, he would unhesitatingly say: "The lesson to those with enfeebled constitution, weak lungs, or a tendency to Bronchial Troubles or Consumption, of the vital opportunities that Summer of fers tnem." The best teaching is the teaching that will save the most lives. And this lesson to those with the slight est predisposition to Consumption will save more lives than any that could bo taught. - , In the Summer, bronchial diseases may be more speedily cured; with Nature help ing the work, the result Is more certain; after the cure the constitution resumes its normal condition more quickly; those so feeble that they should not even ex pose themselves to the weather during the Winter may visit the offices, and ara helped In tho progress of treatment, rath er than injured by the exposure to out door air. With many of the more serious cases where long-neglected catarrhal dis eases. Invaded the bronchial tubes which convey the air to the lungs, has taken its advance Into the tissues of the lungs themselves, has reached the end of the road lined with the mucous membrane upon which it lives and feeds, and, find ing no new tissue, settles down to feed upon the lung cells with many of thesa serious cases, treatment during the Sum mer months is the only hope. Little if any help can be promised them during tho Winter. It Is then during the Summer that tha danger of catarrhal extension into the deeper part of the bronchial tubes or lungs may be averted. It Is then only during tho Summer months that thoso more desperate cases involving the lungs themselves may bo j treated with any hope. hours. I had sharp pains and a distressed sore feeling through the chest and lungs. I raised a great deal and frequently I spat mucus streaked wlh blood, and sometimes bright red blood. There was a constant dripping from the head, whl-'h kept me hawking and spitting, and tho throat sore and Irritated. At night my throat would fill up so I could not sleep, thus adding sleeplessness to my other suf ferings. I had debilitating night sweats, and my breathing was short and labored. After a time my stomach became In volved". I had no appetite or desire for food. What little I did eat caused belch ing and great misery. I had lost flesh and was so weak and feeble that I could not attend to my household duties. Part of the time I was unable to do anything at all. I was great ly worried over my falling health, for sev eral In our family had died of what the doctors called consumption, and I feared I was going Into that terrible disease. All my friends thought so, too, for I had all the symptoms. Some little time ago I became satisfied that the Copeland treatment was what I was needing, and I began a course of treatment, with results that were ex tremely gratifying and happy. I am an entirely different woman from what I wis a few months ago. I will not go over ray symptoms again, but I hardly have an ache or pain now. HOME TREATMENT.
