It was typhoid fever which bioke
clown the sticngth of tho commands
generally, the outbreak becoming dls
tlnctly manifest In July. Sporadic cases
appeared In most of the regiments In
May i ml June, these cases having been
bi ought, In many Instances, from the
state camps. In fact some regiments
as the Fifteenth Minnesota, suffeied
more from this disease at tho state
rendezvous than any of tho regiments
In the huge federal camps. It appeals
Horn a general review of tho sanitary
reports nlioady filed that the preval
ence of the disease was propottloned to
the Insanitary camp conditions which
I have lefeired to. The piobablllty of
its communication to soldleis In camp
through the agency of flies was pointed
out as a reason for insisting on a san
itary police of the strictest character.
It Is well known to the medical pro

by a contaminated water supply, and

Washington, Nov. 0. Siugeon Gen

port The number of medical olllceis, 102,
allowed by law to the aimy Is inade
quate In lime of peace. The Insuffi
ciency in time of war was met by the
assignment of over G30 contract sur
geons. The ety small proportion of
medical officers having oxpeiimce in
militaiy chaiactei Unpaired the clll

set, but many ot the stall surgeons
fiom the civil life showed gtcat apt
itude for tho service and speedily be
came of value, as rdminlstratlve and
ianltary ofllce-is.
No provision was made for hospital
corps men for the volunteer troops,
except that which empowered tho bee
jetary ot war to enlist as many ptl
vates for the hospital corps as the
service may require. The number ot
men enlisted nnd those trunsfciied dur
ing the war was approximate!) n.ooo.
Th want of a sufficient body of
ttulned corps men necessitated the de
Idll of enlisted men fiom the legl
ments fot hospital duty in several of
the camps and the employment of
ttnlncd nurses at the genet al hospi
tals. Over 1,700 female nurses lane
been employed, at first at the geneial
hospitals and later at the fldd division
hospitals when It became cIdent that
th field rervicer purposes for which
tin latter had been oiganized would
have to give place to tho imperative
need of caring lor tho many sick

THE DETAIL1.P riariiES.
It Is Interesting, then foi e, to e
umine the detailed flames of the ie

time In which the present custom l'i'v
lies been in op-ratlon under noimal

it is supplying Its assigned pronoillon,

Tlie dally statement of leielpts ami

depaitment shows that on November
17, the 1-iOth clay of the pi.sent fiscal
year, tho custom receipts bad dining
these 140 days amounted to $7.!,:'.l0,IJ!l.
Of this sum a little over $1,000,000 was
from the duty placed on tea by the
war revenue act, so that fully S72.000 -000
of the $73,310,420 leceived In these
110 days ate the legitimate normal
icvcnues from the rates, levied bv the
custom law enacted In Inly, 1S'i7. or
a little more than the promised late
of a. million of dollais a day from cus

Tho lecelpts from customs eluilng the

This will be accompanied by a clear

Following this declaiatlon the Ameri

Spaniatds two alternatives.
First, to accept a sum of money from
the United States and to cede and
evacuatr the Philippines
Second, to lose the Philippines to the
United States by conquest, with the
possibility of other teiiltorlal losses to
indemnify tlie United States for tho

This 1 onimuiilention may not be for

it will lack naught of the conclusive

be so plain that the Spanish conitnls

THE PHILIPPINE DEBT.
No one lieu, except the American
commissioners, knows how much will
be tendered Spain as the cheapest and
most humane way ot settling the ellf
llculty. She is exceedingly anxious to
escape the Philippine debt and possibly
the sum to bo offered may be detei -mined
by an analysis of that debt,
which consists of $40,000,000 in bonds, on
which she realized $3G,000,000. Of the lat
ter amount she Is believed to have ex
pended some tlo.OUd.OOO or $11,000,000 in
fighting the United States und a pait
in attempting to quell the Philippine
insunection.
A leasoiuible guess at the sum for
tender would be $20,000,000 though It
may fall below that.
