Today.
London, S< i : - \ report is current to-
day th.it : treaty alliance between Great
Britain and Germany on the line of the
speech of Mr Chamberlain, secretary of
I'.tat, for 'h< colonies, was actually com
pleted yesterday.
This i . probably an amplification of the
gossip relative to the daily visits of Count
Von llatzfeidt of Weldcnburg the German
ambassador, to the British foreign office
during the past fortnight, which has been
attributed to a desire upon the part of
Germany and Great Britain to formulate
u common policy in regard to Russia and
China.
Another explanation of the visits is rel
ative to the mixed tribunals of Egypt, the
international agreement on the Bubjept
ending In February.

“There are about 16,000 American sol

1.000 men on the sick list.
‘Of this number one-half were cases re
quiring prompt and careful treatment.
There was a large number of typhoid
cases, but on the 32d instant this disease
was not on the increase—a fact in
dicates that the malady had been carried
from the camps at home and Is not indi
genous to Puerto Rico. However, there
was a very large increase in diarrhoea, dy
sentery, dengue, or breakbone fever, and
malarial disorders, due to the hot, un
healthy rainy season. Just commencing,
which causes the water supply to be filled
with malarial germs from the constantly
decaying vegetation. All medical author
ities in the army ;n Puerto Rico agree that
tht siek list is increasing, and that an
alarming condition may be expected unless
the war department promptly arranges
barracks for the army of occupation and
immediately provides additional transports
(the hos ital ship. Relief, being insuffi

be safely transferred home, the convales

MVS MEN SAY
HEALTHJS GOOD
Twelve of the Regiment Have
Returned Home on
Sick Leave.
COMFORTABLY CAMPED.
The Men Are in Good Spirits and
Are in Accord With Their Offi
cers—Expect Discharges.
Atlanta, Sept. 2. —Charley Wallace, so
well known in Atlanta, and Dr. O’Brien,
and a half score other members of the
Third Immune regimeit, are hack In this
city from Santiago on sick leave. They
expect to be discharged.
Wallace talks interestingly of their ex
perience since the command sailed from
Savannah.
It was a fur days’ trip, he says, beauti
tiful, calm and clear. The transport went
up into the harnor of Santiago and landed
them in the city. The other troops received
them enthusiastically. As soon as the men
were all ashore they were formed and
marched, bag and baggae, to a hill on the
left of the town and about a quarter of a
mile distant from its outskirts. A shaded
spot was selected for the camp, and in a
very short time the tents were pitched and
the boys comfortably installed.
The men, Wallace says, are in high
spirits. None fear the fever and all are
delighted with their situation. They are
a light-hearted, happy set, whose oniy
trouble is disappointment over cessation of
hostilities.
A remarkable spirit of cordiality exists be
tween officers and men. Colonel Ray, he
says, is very popular, and so also are the
other officials —Major Gordon particularly.
He is actually loved.
Hiram Middlebrooks, who is first ser
geant of company M —Wallace’s company—
fills that important post in away that
pleases both the officers and men some
thing very difficult to do.
L'eutenant Jones, who was first lieuten
ant o' Campany M, has been promoted to
a captaincy, vice Maddox, who resigned.
At the time Wallace left Santiago no
permanent disposition of the regiment had
been made. Aside from the dozen who
came home there was no sickness. And
of this dozen none are seriously ill. They
were told off however, 'and ordered to Ft.
McPherson. The treatment they have re
ceived there is, Wallace says, something to
be proud of. Every man was served as
though he were a general. Physicians,
nurses of various status, vie with each
other. In Santiago, he says, they were fed
finely. At Ft. McPherson they are fed lux
uriously.
Wallace 'and his comrades were all ill
with malarial fever when 'they arrived
here. They are convalescent now. He
says they expect to be discharged. Just
why, he doesn’t know, except in his own
case. Age is against him. He is 55 years
old.
MORTUARY REPORT
IS SATISFACTORY.
Shows that Macon Is In a
Verv Healthy Condition,
The mortuary report for August shows
a considerable reduction of the death rate
as compared with the corresponding month
in the .past several years.
The August report shows thirty-seven
deaths for 1898, forty-one for 1897, fifty
five for 1896, and sixty-two for 1895. This
is a very gratifying decrease. The thirty
seven deaths for August were as follows:
White males, 6; females, 11; colored males,
9; females, 11. In the reports for both
July and August the females out-number
the males, the number of females in July
being nineteen to nine males, and in Au
gust twenty-two to fifteen males.
There were no deaths from violence
during the month just gone and not a case
of communicable disease was reported.
There were forty-eight births, as fol
lows: White males, 13; females, 16; color
ed males, 10; females, 9.
The annual death rate based on the re
port for August is 15.08 per thousand, a
remarkable showing when 22 per thousand
is the 'boast of the healthiest city in the
country.

action on General Roe’s resignation was
made at Camp Poland last night- General
Roe is in command of the First brigade,
Second division, First corps, to which is

of the brigade. It is, however, believed
that a brigadier general will be assigned
to this command at an early date.
The first rain since the Georgia regiment
reached Gamp Poland came today. The
rain was badly needed and was apprecia

Colonel Lawton has given his consent
for the entire First Georgia to participate
in the Labor Day parade in this city next

BITTER FIGHT
Is Promised Among ithe War
Department Officials.
New York. Sept 2.—A bitter fight inside
the war .department is threatened between
Secretary Alger and General Corbin and
others on one side, and General Miles, Gen
eral Merritt and their friends on the other.
Miles has already aired his grievances, and
it is repored that Merritt has a few, too.
There is a long enmity between Alger
and Memtt, dating from the courtmartial
of Alger by a board of which Merritt was
a member. Merritt's partisans allege that
Alger sent him to Manila to get rid of him.
President McKinley, -without Alger'e
knowledge, ordered Merritt to go to Paris
and to come home. Alger at first denied
this order, not having heard of it. Miles
and Merritt, instead of oppus ng an inves

Struck by a Train.
Chickamauga, Sept. 2. —Six prominent
Chattanoogans, four of them leading phy
sicians, have preferred charges against
Major Hubbard, surgeon general of the
Ninth New York.
They charge him with being responsible
for the death of Sergeant Frank, who was
struck by a train a few days ago; and with
conduct unbecoming an officer and a gen
tleman.
•It is claimed that Hubbard caused the
removal of Frank, when his life might
have been saved by keeping him quiet, and
when the other physicians expostulated he
used language unbecoming a gentleman
and an officer. A courtmartial is deman
ded.
CATTLE SCARCE.
Havana Suffered on Monday Last for Lack
of Meat.
Havana, Sept 2 —No cattle were killed
at the public slaughter-house in this city
Suiday, owing to the scarcity of cattle,
and yesterday the inhabitants were with
out meat. The Diario De Mariana is there
fore urging the authorities to decree a
temporaray suspension of the duties im
posed upon the cattle imported from
abroad.
Tomorrow Generals Pando and Salcedo
will return to Spain.
The civil governor of Havana has noti
fied Commander Niskern and Captain
Niles that he will not permit them to dis
tribute in this city the rations brought on
the steamship Comal. His decision is
based upon the ground that what they
seek to do is one of the functions of the
government. They have agreed to ask
President McKinley for authority to de
liver the provisions to the governor, that
he may distribute them.
'Miss Clara Barton has been invited to
visit the free kitchens and the charitable
Insrirotions of Havana.

NOT HOSTILE
To Red Cross, was Surgeon Sternberg, so
He Says.
Washington, Sept. 2 —Surgeon General
Sternberg replies to charges against his
department of the army.
“I have not,” he says, “been hostile to
the Red Cross, as charged. Female nurses
are an incumbrance on the field of battle,
and I have objected to their being sent,
as we have men especially delegated for
that duty. For hospitals I have gladly ac
cepted female nurses. I do not believe in
giving exclusive privileges to any organ
ization of this kind. I have letters thank
ing this department for courtesies extend
ed to these organizations.”
FAMISHED
FOR WATER
Troops Had None at Santiago
and Less at Montauk.
San Francisco, Sept. 2 —Trooper .Wil
liams, of the United States cavalry, who
arrived here direct from Montauk Point,
severely arraigns the officers who con
ducted the recent campaign. He states
that the duck uniforms which were pre
scribed for the troops at the beginning of
hostilities, were not delivered to the men
in his regiment until the day of their de
parture from Cuba for New York. He
says that during three days of fierce fight
ing outside of Santiago the troops had
nothing to eat but one hard biscuit each,
and very little water, although they were
in the trenches all the time. After the
surrender, he asserts that while the troops
were half famished the officers sold army
rations to the Spanish merchants in San
tiago and with the money purchased
whisky and delicacies.
When his troop went into camp at El
Caney all the food they had was two cans
of tomatoes to fifty-five men and three
were in the hospitals, with only three
tendance at the hospitals was wretched.
The hospital at San Juan had over 100
wounded and only one attendant. When
the fever broke out at El Caney 900 men
of the Third. Sixth and Ninnth cavalry
were in the hos hospitals, with only three
doctors to attend them. At Montauk Point
the conditions are worse than in Cuba, he
said. The clothing and food sent there for
the sick soldiers were stolen by civilians
in charge of the general hospital. The
troopers say “it was a veritable hell,
which we were glad to escape by getting
a furlough.”
IBOLL WORM IN COTTON.
Americus. Ga.. Sept. 2—Farmers in this
section are considerably alarmed over the
appearance of the boll worms in cotton
fields and already vast injury has been
sustained. Samples of bolls exhibited here
yesterday show they have been entirely
destroyed with the exception of the green
shell or covering. In many fields the yield
w’ill be cut off one-half. This destruction
of cotton is not confined to any particular
locality, but appears general throughout
this section of the state and will greatly
decrease the yield of eotton.

try Are Responsible.
New Y'ork. Sept. 2 —The World prints an
interview' with Shafter in which he is rep
resented as saying:
“At Santiago we had to deal with things
as they are, not as they should be.
“Os course there was sickness. It was
inevitable in a summer campaign.
“The men who ordered the summer
campaign are responsible for the natural
and unavoidable consequences.
“None of our wounded were allowed to
lie on the battle field as I was In civil war.
It was the heat that was so deadly.
“I am satisfied with the Santiago cam
paign. When it is fully understood with
all its difficulties it well reveive its just
place in military history.
“When the invasion was planned it was
obvious that it must be a rush. Such it
was. At El Caney, the fight I hoped would
be finished at 10 o’clock, but it took until
5.
“Had I had Lawton on the right of the
line we would have undoubtedly taken
Santiago that night in which ease the only
garrison theh there would have surren
dered to us. Whereas later all the troops
in the region surrounding were included.
“I knew the war was over as soon as
Toral spoke to me about surrendering the
troops in the eastern province. We never
had on the fighting line at any one time
more than 13,000 men and with these we
captured 27,000. The Spaniards were down
to the last bit of rice when they surren
dered, but chivalrously declined on the
first day to accept the rations offered them.
They said the American charity humili
tated them, but I noticed that they same
around for grub on the second day.”

He Savs that Governors of
the States ’Appointed the
Officers.
Cleveland, Sept. 2—Senator Hanna has
returned from a month’s outing at Yel
lowstone Park. Concerning the reported
sufferings in the army camps Hanna said:
“I do not care to place the blame for
the conditions upon any one. I will say
that the governors of the different states
appointed the volunteer officers and we
find the illness among the troops comes
from the volunteer ranks. The places for
the location of the camps were selected
because of their availability and the gen
eral climatic conditions,”
