Deputy' Surgeon General Smart
Give Comparative Figures
OH MORTALITY FBOlf 8I0K5ES3.
Ia the War Between the Stare the
Death List From Disease Far Ez
ceeded That For the Same Period In
the War Ascainat Spain.
Washington, Nov. 22. Colonel Charles
Smart, deputy surgeon general ot the
army, has sent a communication to
Surgeon General Sternberg, comparing
tbe deaths from sickness In the war
with Spain and In the civil war. He
tays in part:
"In reply to your inquiry I can very
promptly state that the sickness and
mortality during the war with Spain
waa not relatively so great as that
from which our volunteer troops suf
fered during the civil war.
"In April, 1861. President Lincoln
called for 75,000 volunteers, but it was
not until July 22, when his call for
500,000 was made, that we had armies
comparable In size with those recently
in existence. Beginning, then, with
July, 1861, when we had medical re
ports from regiments aggregating only
69,118 men, and Including August, Sep
tember, October and November, Ave
months, we find recorded a loss by
death of 3.075 men In the reports sent
In by medical officers from an average
strength present of 177.690 men. or
17.31 deaths out of every thousand men
during that period of five months.
"In April, 1898, President McKlnley
called for 125,000 men, and later for
75.000, which, with an Increase in the
regular army and the Immune and
other special regiments, made a total
of over 270.000 men. Beginning with
May, 1898, for which month we have
medical reports In the office of the sur
geon general of the army from regi
ments aggregating 151,685 men, and in
cluding June, July, August and Sep
tember, five months, we find on Hie a
loss by death of only 1,715 men report
ed by medical ufticera, In an average
strength of 167,168 men, or 10.31 deaths
out of every thousand men during that
period of fvn months.
"Mortality from disease reached Its
maximum in the camps of our civil war
only at the end ten months, if we
count from July, 1861, or at the end of
12 months If we count from May, 1861.
when 47.66 men had been burled out
of every thousand of strength present,
or, to put it otherwise, the maximum
monthly mortality was reached only
after ten or twelve months ot suffer
ing, during six of which the mortality
was greater than that of the 'disease
which did so much harm in August
last. In that month the couvtry be
came esclted over the hysteric utter
ances of yellow Journalism, with 4.08
deaths per thousand, and the morale of
the army became broken by making the
volunteer believe that never In tbe
history of armies had men Buffered
from dlwase as he and his companion
had suffered. Yet 37 years ago the
flower of the manhood of this country,
after months or deadly tonnes, suffered
In April. 18C2, more than twice the loss
Incurred In August last, and Instead of
going home on sick furlough they gird
ed up their loins for the attack on
Richmond by way of the peninsula."
AnsuHta's lllir Mill Strike.
Augusta, Ga.. Nov. 22. After threat
ening for some days, the local mill
trouble culminated In an Individual
walkout yesterday. Over 3,000 employes
are Idle, three of the largest mills and
one Rmoller mill being included In the
trouble. The affair is styled an '"In
dividual walkout," while It is In reality
a strike. The trouble began a month
ago, when the Southern Manufacturers'
association announced that In order to
meet competition It was necessary to
make a reduction of from 8 to 13 per
cent In all branches of the Industry.
When the reduced scale was posted It
was found that some of the highest
paid workmen were not reduced. Then
the others organized, and now declare
that they will not accept the reduction.
Both sides are determined.

Mile an liuur.
Jersey City. Nov. 19. In the gloom
of smoke, storm and fog that darkened
the rolls of the Pennsylvania railroad
yesterday morning between Jersey City
and Harrison a belated suburban train
dashed Into a gang of workmen, killing
11 and injuring four. Five others had
remarkable escapes. All the victims
lived In Jersey City.
The dead are: Frank Bodoskl, need
48; Giuseppe Colasurde. 31; Thomas
Doherty, 47; Thomas Flannagan; Jo
seph Faggea, 48; Michael Lawless, 34;
Nicola Luccl, 34; Frank Ludowskl, 21;
Angelo Puggo, 25; Frank Slumsky, 80;
Glussppe Sttnxlano, 23. Bodoskl and
Slumlsky leave families. Frank Swaz
kowski Is dying at St. Francis hospital.
The accident happened about two
and one-half miles west of Jersey City,
Just beyond the Hackensack river
bridge. At that point there are four
tracks, two devoted to passenger and
two to freight traffic. At the north
nre the shops and the tracks of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad. Foreman Quirk took out a
gang of 19 men at 8 a. m. to repair
track No. 4 the westbound freight
track at that place. Quirk saw that
the fog might mean danger, so he sent
ahead two men, Lawless and Doherty,
to give warning of approaching trains.
Lnwless was to go west and Doherty
east, and cover all the tracks. They
were to shout warnings at the approach
of trains. The passenger tracks werj
kept busy with Incoming suburban
trains, and the dense smoke and steam
from these trains helped to make the
atmosphere more dense.
Suddenly, about 8:30, there was a
shout from Lawless, who was the ad
vance guard of the gang. "Train on
No. 3." he cried. It was an eastbound
freight train that came along slowly,
leaving behind It a hcuvy pall of smoke.
The men, who were scattered along
the track. Jumped out of the way. At
most all of them Jumped over to track
No. 1, the eastbound passenger track
The heavy smoke enveloped them, and
the men, many of them new hands on
the rood, Bnlvercd with fright, for they
could fiot see and could scarcely hear
the approaching trains that followed
the freight.
Lawless, too. hnd Jumped across to
track No. 1, keeping all the time a
sharp lookout. Suddenly there was a
rumble of wheels and the shriek of a
whistle. The Millstone local, delayed
by f"g. was coming along at the rate
of 40 miles an hour. Lawless was
struck and thrown 30 feet away, man
gled and bleeding. On went the train
Engineer Van Nostrand had scarcely
noticed the, man's body flying through
the air when the engine struck Doher
ty; then it ploughed Into the mare of
cowering men, who stood huddled to
gether on the track.
"It was an awful sight," said the en
gineer later. "There was a moss of
legs and arms flying through the air.
I was drenched with blood. I knew
that something terrible had happened,
and put on the air brakes as hard as
possible."
When the train mme to a standstill
the passengers rushed out. The track
was drenched with blood. The mead
ows and the track looked like a battle
field covered with bodies. The shrieks
of the dying drowned the cries of the
horrified passengers. Women fainted
and men turned awny in horror. Of
the 19 men nine were dead and six
wounded.
Someone telephoned quickly to Jer
sey City. Many of the bodies, still
writhing In mortal ngony, were pla-ed
on the train and borne to the city. Two
of the wounded died on the way. A
relief train brought bark the others.
Tbe Wreck nfthe) Atlanta.
Yaqttina. Ore.. Nov. 21. Additional

Columbus, O., Nov. 19. Convicts
O'Nell and Atkinson, who are serving
15 year terms In the penitentiary for
burglary In Cleveland, In some manner
secured a revolver yesterday and mailA
a bold attempt to escape. Surprising
Guard Lime, they took from him his
revolver and then went Into the broom
shop. There both opened fire on Guard
Lauterbaugh. and he fell dead. The
shooting attracted other prison officials,
who rushed to the scene, and a fusil
lade ensued until all the revolvers were
emptied. Convict Atkinson was shot
down and srlously wounded, while
O'Nell was beaten almost to death be
fore ho would surrender. Both are in

American llrgirlui; In Havana.
Havana, Nov. 19. Of late Havana ha

the city. There is really no Inducement
whatever in Havana for outsiders at
present, and begging will be the almost
Inevitable fate of nine-tenths of those
