WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—The instruc- tions to the Cuban and Porto Rican Mil- itary Commissions were, drawn up. and approved by the President before he left ‘Washington, and are now ready to be de- livered to the President of each before he leaves. The instructions will not be made pub- lic, but their general terms are known to be the same as those Shafter sent to General regarding. the government of , and to General Merritt regard- ing the Philippines. This will mean that the Military Commissions will take con- trol of Cuba and Porto Rico, the same as the Military Governor controls that portion of Cuba ‘surrendered to'the Uni- ted States after the Santiago campaign. The many minor detalls relative to the | evacuation of the islands are left to the Commissioners, who will report any dif- ficulty or disputed points to Washington. There been doubt as to whether or not the United States ‘would take con- trol of Cuba, but the instructions to the Cuban Military Commission settle any question regarding the island, and means that, for the present at least, the United States will assume the government and control of the remainder of the island, as has been the case at Santiago.

They were half-starved and neglected when they were ill, and the day is coming when some one will have to answer for it. For forty-seven days the soldiers were on a diet of hard tack | 1y and bacon and although many of them could not eat it because their stomachs | turned against such food, nothing else was given them, and they were carried away to the hospital to dle. “For an army of 25,000 men there were twelve ambulances in Cuba and one of them broke down. The others did what service they could, but that was very little. When a man was taken ill on the skirmish line or a distance from the division hospitals he was carried back t» the hospitals by a detail of six men through swam;s and brush. The sick man generally died and the six who had borne him to the hospital were placed in the hospital to fight the fevers their half-starv bodies received on the journey.” SOLDIERS ARE GOING HOME TO RECUPERATE Heturning Volunteers Complain Bit- terly of the Treatment Re- ceived at Camp Thomas. NEW ¥ORK, Aug..20.—A hospital train of two Pullman rrived in Jersey City.over- the Pennsylvania Railroad, car- rying forty sick soldiers of the Fourteenth New York Volunteers on furlough from Camp Thomas and going home to recup- erate. Relatives and friends of the sick soldiers were walting to receive them. The men wiho were well enough to talk com- plained bitterly of the treatment they re- celved-at Camp Thoma Of ‘the sick men twelve were too weak to’ walk alone and had to be carried from the train to the ferry.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—Captain Louls C. Duncan, surgeon of the Twenty-second Kansas Regiment, is held by the Sheriff of Fairfax County, Virginia, to answer an indictment charging him with dese- crating Confederate graves at Bull Run, near Manassas. It appears that Dr. Dun- can, whose case has now become famou: was not sentenced to five years' impri onment, as reported from Camp Meade, Pa., but escaped much more lightly at the hands of the military court, there being a lack of evidence to prove that he actu- ally took part in despoiling the graves. The finding of the court-martial, a proved by General Davis, was that Sur- geon Duncan be deprived of his rank for two months, be confined to the regimental camp and forfeit half his pay for the same length of time and that he be repri- manded by the commanding general. It is understood that when the Sheriff resented his warrant for him under the tate indictment Duncan voluntarily sur- rendered. A clash between the State au- thorities and the War Department may develop. The case has not been brought to the attention of Washington as yet. ik L st FAILURE OF HARVESTS CAUSES GREAT DISTRESS Prompt Relief Can Only Prevent ‘Widespread Suffering in Many Districts of Russia. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 20.—Owing to the failure of the harvests in seven dis- tricts of the government of Kazan and in the provinces of Samaria, Saratof, Si- birik, Viatke and Perma, where the crops are almost worthless, even the landed gen- try are beginning to ask the Government for relief, and the authorities are adopt- ing measures to aild the sufferers. Tne distress, however, is becoming more acute every day. The peasants are denudin; fheir cottages of thatch in order to feed their stock, but in spite of all that can be done, cattle and horses are dying in great numbers. The Government officials are Yery slow in getting the relief measures into effect, and the only aid thus far has been the granting of permission to the easants to gather faggots in the woods or fuel and to collect dried leaves for fodder. Tho peasants are exhausted from lack of food, and unless the promised suplies are speedily sent the suffering will be terrible.

ANITA NEWCOMB McGEE. ASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—To-day, for the first time in the American army, a woman was appointed a member of the medical staff. Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee, wife of Profes- sor W. J. McGee of this city, and a daughter of Professor Simon Newcomb, formerly of the Naval Observatory, was regularly sworn in as an acting assistant surgeon. This, according to Secretary Alger’s general order, would entitle her to the uniform of a second lieutenant, without designation of rank. It is not likely, however, that Dr. McGee will avail herself of this privilege. The appointment, while a novelty from a technical standpoint, is not the beginning of Dr. McGee's service with the War Department. Throughout the war she has been in charge of the selection of the women nurses, and of 700 or more now in the field most of them have passed muster at her hands. Assistant Surgeon McGee goes to New York to select thirty graduate nurses for service in Porto Rico. She has regularly prac- ticed her profession in Washington for some years and is well known in medical circles throughout the country. She contributed - several papers to the American Association for the Advancement of ' Science and to other scientific organizations. {oJoJoJojoloolojoloJoJoJolofoloIoJoIolO] ® preme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, was in e Rt eR polniers - alided: Bar e session all day In the State House.

In our general hospitals we ave employed them from the first. ‘The gen- eral ‘testimony" from the surgeons in charge of these hospitals has been that their services have been of great valua. Very many of these trained nurses have been obtained through the kind assist- ance of the Red Cro: tenance of Trained Nu x 3, and I desire to express my high api clation of the valuable services rendered the medical department of the army by this organization. My attitude toward relief organizations is shown by an indorsement, dated May 5, upon a letter addressed by Rev. Henry C McCook of Philadelphia to the President and referred to me for remark: “May 5, 1898.—Respectfully returned to the adjutant gereral of the army. The plan proposed for the organization of a relief association appears to be well con- sidered, and the object in view will com- mend itself to every patriotic citizen. But it is a question whether the President should give speclal privileges to any par- ticular organization. Other prominent in- dividuals in different parts of the country Society for Main- No. Auxiliary Oné such proposition has come from Chi- cago. While I approve in a general way of organization for the relief work pro- osed, it appears to me that it will be est not to give any one organization ex- clusive privileges. In case of need, as ance should be accepted from any or- anization prepared to give it.”” This has been my guiaing principle throughout—that relief, when needed, should be promptly accepted without re erence to the source from which it com: The relief afforded by the National Red Cross at Siboney was promptly accepted by the surgeo: on the spot, but it is evi- dent that it was entirely inadequate to meet the emergency. A committee of the American National Red Cross Association called upon me in my office in Washington some time in advance of the landing of our troops in Santiago, making an offer of assistance, 1 received them most courteous] and advised them to use their resources in fitting up a hospital ship, telling them that a hospital ship was now being fitted up for the use of the medical depart- ment, but that it was not at all fmprob- able that an emergency would arise which would overtax our resources, and that.in such an event a hospital ship, properly equipped, having on board a corps of doctors and nurses, would be a valuable auxiliary. Furthermore, the American National Red Cross Assoclation has had full au- thority to send agents and supplies to all our camps since June 9, 1838, and if,there has been suffering for want of needed supplies, they must assume the respon- sibility with the medical department of the army for such suffering. The following letter was sent by me to | every chief surgeon of a department or independent army in the field on June 9, 1898: “The Secretary of War has approved of the following -proposition made by the American National Red Cross Associa- tion, and the chief surgeons of army corps and divislons will co-operate with the authorized agents of this assoclation for the purposes indicated: “*We can put any desired amount of hospital supplies—ice, malted milk, con- densed milk—into any of the volunteer camps in a few hours. Will you be kind enough to bring this letter to the atten- tion of Secretary Alger and ask him if there is any objection to our appointing a Red Cross representative to report to the commanding officer and the chief sur- geons in every camp, confer with them as %o thelr immediate needs, and, if anything of any kind is wanted, open a Red Cross station and send in the supplies. We can do this, not in a few weeks or a few days, but in a few hours, and can furnish any quantity of any desired luxury or delicacy for hospital use. We hereby tender our ald and put our organization at the War Department’s service for co-operation in his field.” e ‘show my cordial relations with the National Red Cross Relief Committee, I venture to (Luote from a _lefter of August 11, received by me from Mr. Cleveland H. Dodge, chairman ofs the supply commit- tee, Mr. Dodge sa “I want again to assure you personally, on behalf of our committee, of our earnest desire to_assist you in every possible way and to thank you for calling upon us so frankly.” In R) recent letter from Mrs. Winthrop Cowdin, vice-president of the Red Cross Society for Maintenance of- Trained Nurses, she says: ‘We greatly appreciate your courtesy to us and feel most grateful to have been permitted to serve you in any way.” GEORGE M. STERNBERG, i Surgeon General, U. S. A. PURSUED FOR YEARS BY AN UNKNOWN FOE Three Attempts Made to End the Life of Murdered Mrs. Morse’s Son. POINT ARENA, Aug. 2.—The sons of Mrs. Morse, the aged victim of an un- Jkhown poisoner, have concluded to sell their interests“here and locate In San Francisco. Fearing that his life is in danger, Le Grand Morse, who narrowly escaped sharing the fate of his mother, has detérmined- to shake the dust of this town from his feet, hoping that in San Francisco he will be safe from the enemy who has pursued him for years, and who, he thinks, caused the death of his devoted parent. Three attempts have already been made on his life. Who his pursuer is Morse is at a loss to know. He does not suspect anybody. Some years ago Morse was in- strumental in sending a criminal to San Quentin. Before being taken to the peni- tentiary the prisoner swore vengeance | agalnst ‘Morse, . The man was released about a year ago, and. was last heard of in Oregon. Morse, shortly after the mur- der of his mother, thought the ex-convict had planned the crime, and so notified the detective who is werking on the case. In- | formation recéived to-day, however, | shows that he had nothing to'do with the | murder, as he went to Oregon immediate- ly after being released from San Quentin and has been there ever since. Many of the residents regret that they did not seize a letter which Mrs. Spauld- | ing sent to Texas the day following the murder of Mrs. Morse. Mrs. Spaulding quietly left the house in which she lives and hurriedly walked to the postoffice. On the way she dropped two letters—one addressed to her daughter in El Pasc Texas, and the other to the Postmaster 6f that city. They were picked up by a citizen, who sent them to the inspector at an Francisco, asking him in the name of tice to open them. The inspector opened the letter addressed to Mrs. Spaulding’s daughter, who is the divorced wife of Le | Grand Morse, but refused to open the one | addressed to the Postmaster. Many per- sons here now believe that in the envelope 5 :d_to the Postmaster ealed letter which the writer asked to be delivered to her daugh- er. Le_Grand Morse the fact that h ju to-d: life is i made known ured for $2000, his daughter, Georgie, being named as beneficiary. 'The policy was taken out about fourteen vyears . ago, when his daughter was a mere girl. Georgle Is the wife of Downs, the blacksmith, whose name has been prominently mentioned in connection with the murder of Mrs. Morse. “KID” M’PARTLAND GETS THE DECISION NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Kid McPartland of this city got a well-earned decision | over Jack Daly of Wilmington, Del., af- ter fighting twenty-five clean rounds be- fore the Greater New York Athletic Club to-night. The last time these two. met Daly got the decision on a foul in the seventh round at the Lenox Athletic Club, and since that time McPartland has always claimed that he had Daly wtipped then. He insisted that on their next meeting he would demonstrate his superiority over the Delaware man, and he did this very effectively to-night. Both men were in splendid form and showed, when they stepped in the ring, that they had trained carefully. The bout was devoid of foul work and was one of the cleanest and cleverest exhibitions ever given under the Horton law. There was little to choose between the men at the end of the go, but as McPartland had done more leading than his opponent, the ccision in his favor was fair. Daly's friends lost a lot of money on the result, and a_few bets were made in 4 part of the fight at 2 to 1 on the Delaware man. At no stage of the contest were these odds warranted, and it was evident at the end of the tweifth lrloul‘;.d that the fight would go to the 2R o Raleigh and Olympia at Hongkong.
