A big effort is being made to ascertain who was in charge ot the American army during the Santiago campaign. According to red tape ia seems that General Miles was. Practically Gener al Shatter was.

The wonderful victory of the Koglish in Africa at Omdarman is declared to bs a just vengance on account of the murder of General Gordan aeveral years ago. As the United Suites remembered tbe Maine, so England remembered Gordan.

While ws have been having salubrious weatter in Oregon, back east they bave been having a hot tirreand several hun dred people bave died from the heat. There the nighta are little less hot than dav time and tbe result ia that there ia no rest from the beat when it once smarts. But here even if the day time should be hot the cool nights would afford relief and rest. Ourdaya thongh, thanks to an influence not enjoyed in the east, are oot eo bot aa the eastern date, and when hot have not that debilitating effect.

In thia way, tbe Ladies Home lournal'a rats is preserved, and tbe agenciea without dircrimioa'ion are treated alike, fairly and honestly. Both tbe advertiser and tbe agent deem it a pleasure to do busmesa with such a publication. Other publishers would do well to study lbs business metboie of tbe Ladles Home Journal, Mail Order Journal. There no longer seems to be any donbt about tbe calling of an extra aewaion of the Oregon legislature.

The Price of Wheat. Eugne Guard Last year wheat brought a dollar a bnebel in Cbicago. Tbe gold u; en said th advances in price was due to the legis'.ation ot Mr. Rood's Congress and tbe silver men attributed the ad vance in price to tbe failure of tbe grain crop in grain producing countries ot Asia or Europe. Sow wheat for future deliv ery is selling iu Chicago at 6G cents per bushel, though Mr. Reed still rules Congress. Heretofore war caured an advance in ths prion of cereals j now with 215.000 men changed from producers to consum ers there is a material decline in the price of wheat, though fie laws enacted by Mr. Reed's congress lat year remain unchanged. Bucause ot scarcity of bread-stuffs iu Europe laot year tbs gold men ridiculed the idea that the price c stiver had any connection with the wheat or cotton. Now in the lime of wsr wheat goes down to meet silver, antil an ounce of white metal aud a bushel of wheat command very nearly the same price, as they did for yeais before ths failure of tbs grain crop in India and ths Argentine Confederation. The remonet ization ot silver would benefit the farmer as much as tbe miner, as tbe pries of a bushel of wheat, since India and Ssutb America became exporters of that grain, and silver was demonetized, alwaya ad vanced or declined with silvsr, except In rare instances when wars or crop failures causes a scarcity ot the grain. Gross Negligence. From ths World: Mors men have been killed by malad ministration in our home camps than were allied by Spanish bullets plus the Cubau climate. And tor this slaughter ths administra tive agents of the Government are solely responsible More men have died ot desease at Ohickamauga alone than were killed In battle during the war. Nearly tbe same thing la true of Camp Alger and Camp Wlkoff. Why? The answer ia simply became tbe ad ministrative departments of the country and of tbe army have proved themselves to b grossly incompetent. They had all the, experience ot the civil war to teach them, buttbey would not learn. During the civil war it waa a fixed rule on both aides never, except in ex treme necessity, to encamp more tban a division upon oks ground, leet the camp become a pest-tola Yet these War De partment officials camped forty or fifty thousand men at Chickamauga and a multitude at Falls Church, both eon spicuously ' unfit camping places ths' most unfit in all tie regions round abuot. So trns is this tbst the moment tbe sites of these camps were made known a pro teat went up from those old soldiers on both aides who knew the facts and quick ly anticipated tbe gaatlr results that have followed. With allot Northern'.Virginia to select from, the most unsuitable spot in that region was deliberately choeen for rea sons, aa is alleged, that it wcold not be proper even to state. With all of Georgia and Alabama and Tennessee "where to choose," Chicka mauga waa selected in spite of the fact that at that point (becauee rock lies near ths surfaca)'camp drainer must almost immediately pollute ..j uaieen tbs water supply. Another rule of prudence during tbe civil war was never, without imperative necessity, to continue a camp in any one spot longer tban ten or twelve days. Yet these camps Lavs been in nse for months, when tbeir shitting- from one spot to another would bave been easy and very inexpensive. Agaio, men by hundreds have starved to death at Camp Wikoff for lack ot fit food for lick men, simply as ths result ot maladminististion and atopid incom petency. Camp ikoff lies only 116 miles from New York. Every food ptodoct known to man is iafSew York in abundance. M Uiona of willing do!las are and bave been at command to take tbess supplies to ths camp. It the wretched Long 11- acd Railroad is incapable of transport ing tbe food, why were oot a thousand or ea ot ths steam boats in out harbor chartered to save the lives of our suffer ing her-e? It ia said that !he railroad would not allow aucb relief vessels to land at their docks. But there is a right of eminent domain vested in tbe United Stales, and in aucb a esse a little high banded justice, admiu.eteretl by a bat tery or two, wontd have commanded popular approval. Without going farther into details, tbe fict ia obvious tbat a gvaat crime baa been comm. I ted . An ad'equats investi gation is imperatively nee led. It should not be mads by ths official responsible for the wrong and not under their direc tion. It should be made by a commit tee representing ths people who have been outraged, a committee strong enough and brave enoogh to lay bars all tbe facts and not to stop sven at tbe doors of tbe War Department itself ia justly fixing tbe blame.

Of course this crested a Ijreat deal of trouble and work, also aa much kicking from tbe men ; but this as I heard one of the regular officers re mark, while on ship, waa a soldiers only privilege, and he was generally supposed to me it. Tho building we moved into, is about 1 160 ft. long and 20 ft. wide, iu thia are joartercd two companies, V. of Portland and I. of Albany and Oregon City, mak ing 1G2 men in this one building; from this can lie seen how we are crowded for room. We use aa bunks the beds which the Spaniards left behind In their hasty departuru on the 1st of May. When we arrived we found that the Spaniards had prepared prisons for the Americans, who, tbey in their conceit snd over-confidence, expected to take. But w hat a diflerence.insiead of occupy ing them as prisoners, they are occupy ing tbem as conquerors. The prisons bave the inscriptions, "Americano de Calaboio." Cavite is quite a pretty place, it con tains about IS) acres and is surrounded bv a high stone wall, the wall ling about 25 iu in height and from 10 to 12 fL in thickness, thus forming almost an in- pregnable fortification from land attack : ', on top of this wall are pieces of giiua j stuck in tbe cement to prevent scahng, ! also, at regular intervals, are ca-uiousl pointing inland, showing tbat Uiv were used against sn internal foe, rs-.-vr than a ioreign one. These cannom are all spiked aud thus rendered n!vs. Inside ot this wall are the barracks and the other buildings of the Cavite Ar senal, as such prisons, dungeons and churches, and various buildings. In tbe prisons it ia said there are about 3000 l-paniah prisoners, which the Insurgents j Lave taken in their battles.tbe dungeons j are something terrible being dark boles 1 in the side uf the wails, in these can be lound human bones, pits w here their vie- ttms were placed and then water turned , in, to see u oy inese means, and many oilier tortures, which I cannot begin to describe,! they were able to wring scon-: tension from tbem. Tbe Catholic cathedrals have been structure of surpassing beauty and grandeur, but since tbe natives bint on plunder and destruction, bave vacated them, they preeeot to oa a maMof ruins, doe ol lhes cathedrals bears the date of 1H2, showing it has stood lor years. In several of tbese churches can be found stains of blood where the natives had murdered the priests. The natives use many of the building in the Arsenal as store and dwelling places, where they have on sale alt the tropical fruits which the i and produces, such as bananas, cocoanuts. guavat.man gol and etc. The natives are verv friend- ly to us and .think the Amenonoi they call can ineui. are all r.gtit. In the rear of our quarters csn be seen seven of pain dernolithed fleet, all of which could be covered by a circle a quarter of a mile in length. I made a visit to four of these ships and found tbat instead ot having old oot of date guns on board.they had modern.op to date guns. showing that the victory which Dewey i nJ hi brave men won, was all the more ! ." unupiru: wiiicniorai. If one wishes to get a Uint idea of the power snd destru rtire ability of our guns. be can get it ry vuuung tbe Sort to the north of San Rogue, which the Balti more blew on; ibis was the fort which was equipped with modern 8 inch guns, ll was lb rears in being built and 25 minutes in Yt'tng destroyed. WtuW, B l..h .n.ltkinlr 4 , mtYm rtm that it was indeed a strange providence - 10 "f flr u"' that placed Spain1 fleet in the bottom of Cna-ck Block Alast.Urios. the bar and our soldiers in the prisons I wincn mcy nau intended lor us. j .The rations are not always up to the! standard that thev should 'be, and thus i at times causes much discontent among! the men, neither are our accomodations whst we would desire. To fight for oar king or country is truly great, but it has j its disadvantages. j The third expedition arrived here Son- j day, the 31 st of July. On the Indiana there were 3 deaths, one a lieutenant. 1 1 are sick, Ohio hsd 1 death and 15 alight cases of measles, 3 cases of typhoid lever. The Morgan City had fire break oot in her coal bonkers, which lasted five da.vs, mev uiiea mem wiui water ana never told the passengers concerning their great danger until it was all over with. Tbe night of the 31t the Spanish at tacked the Nebraska men while engaged in tearing the floor out of an old build ing. American shar. shooters immed iately opened fire on them and they re treated, one man slightly wounded in the biceps. On the night of the 1st of Aug act the Spaniards undertook to Sank the position and a pitched battle ereued which lasted from 12 o'clock till 3 in the i morning. The Spanish were routed and o riven oaca into uie city, onr loea is said to bave been S killed and 20 wound ed ; this morning it is reported that 8 more Americans had died from wounds received in tho battle. Spanish loss thought to bave been great, but uncer tain to exact loss. It is thought a serious lesson has been taught tne Span iards. The Americans now hold a posi tion within the insurgents lines. It is dailv ex nor U1 an attack w ill ) made on Manila, but we are watting for the Mooterev, which ia reported to heat Guam Island. It is announced that the Oregon Regiment will remain at Cavite and hold it, while the remainder of our forces move on Manila. It is thought the city will surrender soon after the first shots are tired. Manila is our Mecca and it we will have, whether by force or bv surrender, ilh insurgent lines all around the city and the American forces a'.moet under their wall and Deweys fleet in the bav, we will be able to make them come to time. If they are taken by tho insur gents they a ill got their throats cut, and if they surrender to the American forces thev wiltl choose the latter. With regards from all the bova to their friends, and hoping we will soon be able to send the news over the world that Manila is in the hands of the Americans. I will close. STRAYED.
