Bo Aaocrta Mujor General Mcrrinm on Ills Return AmcrlcauH Should lie
Withdrawn as Quickly as Possible
Vitulity Happed by Heat.
Muj. Gen. H. C Mcrrinm returned from
Honolulu on the sieamer Australia. It
said then was no suitable eauipin
ground in any of the Hawaiian Island
"It is hard to believe," he continued,
"that good eamping grounds cannot be found iu the islands. Had anybody made
that declaration to me before the trip I would have thought him prejudiced, There is absolutely no place whereon it would lie safe to place American troops. I.evel
ground is very unsanitary, and it Is im
possible to locate a cnmp on the uppe
ground. That practically covers my
vestigations iu a sentence. The First New
lork regiment is encamped four miles
from Honolulu proper, nt a point ealle
Diamond Head. The cnmp is worse rhn
any we have had here. Although lumber
is at hand to login the erection of ha
racks, there has not been any work doni
for the reason that, a good location ha
not been secured. The engineers an
New Yorkers ure in tents, and that, too.
nt a most disagreeable season of the yea
The rainy season is just commencing, and
will certainly cause hardships for the un
seasoned troops.
"The weather ou the islands was very depressing, and I was compelled to lie down each afternoon to rest because of the terrible heat. I think the troops
should be kept on the islands as short
time as possible, as the weather draw
the vitality from the men. The suggc
tion offered some time ago about sending all the troops to the islands and making them a base of supplies for the Philip
pines is preposterous. There would lie
larger mortality than in all the camps iu the United States put together. I be
lieve that only n short stop, if any, will
be made by the troops of the next expedi
tion to the Philippines."
GERMANY AND PHILIPPINES.
Representatives of Kaiser Say Rela
tions with America Arc Friendly,
The foreign office nt Berlin has been in-
terviewed regarding the Washington ca
blegram saying rhnt the five regiments
to be sent to Manila were needed to watc
German manipulations there. The an
swer was emphatic. Such manipulations,
it is declared, exist only in the imagina
tion of Admiral Dewey. As otliciully re
ported, the conduct of Vice-Admiral
Diederichs throughout has been loyal to bodi belligereuts. Since that report was
received nothing his happened to disturb
harmonious relations between American
and Germann in the Philippines. Assur
edly, it is further declared, the Gernin
Government plans no trickery and intend:
no disloyalty there, and of that the Wash
ington Government doubtless is fully
aware, else Dr. von Hellehen, the Ger
man ambassador at Washington, would
not have been granted leave of absence.

Ten men cremnted, eight more fatally lu rued and many more seriously injured ire the results of the most disastrous fire ;hut ever occurred In Toledo. The spon;uneous combustion of dust In the grain levator owned by Paddock, Hodge & Co. caused this terrible destruction of ife, and none of those taken out after !he fire started was far enough from leath's door to tell any of the -horrible deails. Those In the vicinity of the Union levator soon noticed flames bursting rom an sides of tbe building. It was but i few minutes till the fire department of '.ho city begun die work of rescue, which was rendered difficult by the terrific heat if the fire. The river cut off escape on; ne side and there the flames seemed to be less fierce. The families of a dozen Men who were known to be at work withJi rushed to the scene, and women calling for their Imprisoned husbands, brothers ind fathers made a scene indescribable. It was learned that the force of twenty neu expected to load 80,000 bushels of jxaln during the night. Not one of the sntire number could be seen in any part 3f the building and it was impossible to reach them. Fireman Dnvid Kemp and Charles Keifcr, the engineer, were found it their places In the engine rooms. They vere wounded by falling umbers and their aces charred ton crisp by the Barnes. The lout became so intense that twenty cars Itanding on sidings near the burning otiilding were added to the loss. The Crc department had a hard struggle to save jther elevators tnd projierty. Tbe property and the grain is an entire loss and will reach $450,000. Tbe insurance is $135,000 on the building and the rrain is covered with $258,000 insurance. EDUCATION IN UNITED STATES.
Secretary Blisa Receives the Conimlasioner'a Report on tJchoola. The annual statement of the Commisdoner of Education has been submitted So Secretary Bliss. The report shows satisfactory results for the work of the year ?uded June 30, 1808. Tbe report says: "One cause of congratulation on the part of those who hold the doctrine that popular education is the safeguard of out American institutions is the continued prosperity of the elemenuiry schools. The increase during the year 1890-07 amounted to 257,800 pupils over the previous yeor. The total enrolled in the elementary schools amounted :o 15,452,420 pupils. Adding to it those in coBeges, universities, high schools and academies, the total number rettthed 10,255,093. "The total amount o schooling received Iter iinli idutil, on an (ivetage for the whole United States nt rhe rate of school
attendance for 1897, is nearly five years of 200 days each, and reaches quite Severn years in a few of the States that are the nvnst lavish in t'heir expenditures
for education. A little move than one-
firth of the entire popukitkn attended school at some tame dining -he yrur.
"A stiH greater occasion for congratula
tion is the iircreaee of students in colleges and nm'vertsiities. This increisc bits gone on steadily for twenty-five ye irs. In 1872 only 500 persons in the million were en
rolled in those institutions. In 1897 the
number had risen to 1,210 in the million."
