The dead body of an unknown colored
man was found about 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon In thft James Creek canal by a
boatman. The i>ollee were notified and th?
memlxrs of th? erew of the pollca boat re
covered the body and sent It to the morgje.
Superintendent Schoejiberger of tho morgue
made an examination of the body, but did
not find any murks which indicated vlo
ljnce.
The body Is that of a heavy black man,
apparently thirty or thirty-five years old.
It 1? thought It had been In the water for
at least ten days. The clothing takon from
It includes a brown coat, striped trousers
and a black vest, which may serve to iden
tify th. body later.
Since yesterday afternoon many persona
have visited the morgu;, but no one was
able to identify the body.
It Is supposed that the body is that of
eome boatman who cam', here probably
from Maryland or Virginia, although no
such person has been reported missing.
The body may be buried iat; this iifter

To tbe Editor of The Evening Star:
As the governors of several of the far
western states and territories have offered
to the government several regiments of |
"cowboys" to fight the Spaniards, why not
accept them and let them take the places
of the regular troops which have been
taken away from the Indian reservations?
The writer has been a good deal among
the Indians and knows that they are not
to be trusted any more than men of Cap
tain General Weyler s stamp.
The agents of Spain will soon be in the
Indian country, and if their deviltry 1b not
checkmated we may have as great a war
west of the Missouri as we shall have in
Cuba. H. P. T.

UNITE WITH CUBANS
Proposed Junction on North and
South Coasts.
INSDRGESTS LICK AMMUH1TI0H
Surgeon General Sternberg Issues
Sanitary Rules.
LATE NEWS OF TI1E ARMY
It is being: urged on thnw directing the
strategic movements of the army and navy
I that the blockade be supplemented by the
taking of one port on the north coast of
Cuba and one on the south coast, for the
purpose of establishing a juncture with
General Gomez's insurgent troops at Sanctl
Splritus. and with General Garcia's insur
gent forces in Santiago de Cuba. Secre
tary Albertini of the Cuban legation said
today that movements of this character
would l>e extremely valuable in opening up
connections with the insurgent forces.
It is felt that small ports could b# taken
practically without opposition, and that
Cienfuegos, on the south coast, and Sagua
la Grande, on the north coast, are probably
best fitted in polut of location and lack of
coast defenses as bases of supplies. Cien
fuegos. on the south coast, is the point
most accessible to the commands of both
Gomez and Garcia, while Sagua is within
easy reach of Gomez. By having two
bases, one on the north and one on the
south, the danger of Interruption in the
communication from one or the other would
be avoided, and. most likely, through com
munications between the two could be ef
fected. It Is said that these points could
not offer the reslstence that Matanzas and
other large ports are able to present. The
large ports have fairly good shore bat
teries, and it would take a considerable
naval force, and the delays Incident to giv
ing the non-combatants time for departure,
before they could be taken. On the other
hand, smaller ports could make little more
than a formal defense, if indeed they did
not surrender HI the nuts.-t. knowing that
opposition was useless. With two such
bases of operation secured the Cuban au
thorities here feel that the Cuban forces
in the field, and those ready to take ti.e
field, could be speedily and effectively
equipped with arms, ammunition and sup
plies.
It is said that Gomez and Garcia havi the
men ajid the enthusiasm capable of striking
an effective blow once they ha\e arms in
hand, ai d th.it the only rejso.i for the pres
ent Inaction is their lack ol adequate am
munition for a strong forward movement
on the Spanish forces. Recent conferences
between the Cuban military officers here
and General Miles leave little doubt that
the War Department will equip the Cuban
forces in every way practicable with the
present heavy demand for arms and ammu
nition mad; by the calling into active ser
vice of the full force of the army and 1^5,
000 volunteers. 13ul it will still be neces
sary to effect a Juncture with the Cuban
forces, and to this end the suggestion is
made that ports on the north and south
coasts, respectively, of Cuba, be taken. A
decision on the move has not yet been
mude, but it Is likely to follow as soon as
the War Department feels that it is ready
to place adequate supplies of arms and am
munition in the hands of the Cubans.
Sanitary Kulr> lor Cuuip.
Anticipating that the army will be called
upon to serve in Cuba. Surgeon General
George M. Sternbe:g of the army has issued
a circular of instructions to medical officers
giving directions for obtaining the best san
itary conditions in camp life. The circular
Is as follows:
In time of war a great responsibility rests
upon medical officers of the army, for the
result of a campaign may depend upon the
sanitary measures adopted or neglected by
the commanding generals of armies in tin
field. The medical officer is responsible for
proper recommendations relating to the
protection of the health of troops In camp
or in garrison, and it is believed that as a
rule medical officers of the United States
army are well informed as to the necessary
measures of prophylaxis and the serious re
sults which infallibly follow a neglect of
these measures, especially when unaccli
mated troojis are called on for service in a
tropical or semi-tropical country during the
sickly season. In Cuba our army will have
to contend not only with malarial fevers
and the usual camp diseases?typhoid fever,
diarrhea and dysentery, but they will be
more or less exposed In localities where yel
low fever is endemic and under conditions
extremely favorable for the development of
an epidemic among unacclimated troops. In
view of this danger, the attention of medi
cal officers and of all others responsible for
the health of our troops in the field Is in
vited to the following recommendations:
When practicable camps should be estab
lished on higli and well-drained ground not
previously occupied.
Camps should be changed to fresh
ground every ten days or oftener.
Sinks should be dug before a camp is
occupied, or as soon after as piacticable.
The surface of foecal matter should be
covered with fresh earth or quicklime or
ashes three times a day.
New sinks should be dug and old ones
filled when contents of old ones are two
feet fiom surface of ground.
Every man should be punished who falls
to make us.- of the sinks.
All kitchen refuse should be promptly
burled and perfect sanitary police main
tained.
Troopj should drink only boiled or filter
ed water and coffee or tea (hot or cold),
except where spring water can be obtained
which is pronounced to be wholesome by a
medical officer.
Every case of fever should receive
prompt attention. If albumen is found in
the urine of a patient with fever it should
be considered suspicious (of yellow fever)
and he should be placed in an isolated tent.
The discharges of patients with fever
should always be disinfected at once with
h solution of carbolic acid (5 per cent) or
of chloride of lime (C o*. to gallon of water)
or with milk of lime made from quicklime.
Wherever a case of yellow fever occurs
In camp the troops should be promptly
moved to a fresh camping ground located a
mile or more from the infected camp.
No doubt typhoid fever, camp diarrhoea
and probably yellow fever are frequently
communicated to soldiers in camp through
the agency of flies, which swarm about
foecal matter and filth of all kinds deposit
ed upon the ground, or In shallow pits,
and directly convey Infectious material, at
tached to their feet or contained In their
excreta, to the food which Is exposed while
being prepared at the company kitchens
or while being served In the mess tent. It
Is for this reason that a strict sanitary
police Is so Important. Also because the
water supply may be contaminated In the
same way or by the surface drainage.
If It can be avoided, marches should not
be made In the hottest part of the day?
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
When called upon for duty at night or
early in the morning a cup of hot ooflee
should be taken.
It Is unsafe to eat heartily or drink free
ly when greatly fatigued or overheated.
Ripe fruit may be eaten In moderation, but
green or over-ripe fruit will give rise to

A citizens' meeting was h< Id Saturday
evening' at Wells' Hall for the puri>ose of
selecting candidates to fill two vacancies oil
the board of town commissioners and also
to nominate a town treasurer. Mr. F. A.
Holden called the meeting to ordei. and re
tired in favor of Mr. F. H. Smith, who was
selected as chairman. Messrs. M. V. Tier
ney and A. K. Holden were nominated fur
commissioners, ar.d Mr. \Y. R. Kichardson
for town treasurer. Mr. Tierney is now
president of the hoard, hut his term will
expire in May. It seems to he a Mnl
desire that he shall succeed himself. Mr.
Richardson has been treasurer of the board
for a number of years.
An animated canvass Is now being made
by the advocates of bonds, water and sewer
age, and those who oppose the adoption of
the improvements. The election Is set for
May 2.
During the past week efforts have been
made to organize a light battery of artil
lery. Upward of forty members have al
ready been obtained, and the pnwj^cts ara
favorable to the formation of a large com
pany. Charles Truwnan Snyder, a member
of the 43d Pennsylvania infantry in the
late civil w-ar, is at the bead of the move
ment. The new organisation will lie calbd
the Prince George's County Light Artil
lery.
A Patriotic Si(f*tlaB.
To tbe Kill tor of The Evening Star:
The time has come when ever}' patriotic
American citizen should stand shoulder to
shoulder and show his loyalty in proffering
his services to his country and upholding
the stars and stripes.
Especially should this apply to every gov
ernment employe in Washington. Every
able-bodied man in the government depart
ments should enlist as a reserve guard for
the city. A guard of many thousands could
easily be organized among the various de
partments, and the organization and drill
of the companies could be effected after
office hours, and necessarily need not In
terfere with dally routine work. These
companies may be officered by old soldiers,
who would be more than glad to tender
their services. The drill could take place
immediately after i o'clock p.m., or later
in the evening, as would be most suitable
and convenient. The exercise %ould ma
terially benefit the clerks. Esch depart
ment would In this way have Its own
guard, and should the time come to defend
the city and the government property, the
men would have a knowledge of how to
work together and obey orders. If the
various departments were so organized,
with a series of signals these large forces
could be concentrated at a few moments'
notice. ?
Too much precaution cannot be taken In
making preparations to guard the govern
ment's property at the nation's capital dur
ing the crisis now pending. While It is a
known fact that President McKlnley *111
station many troops in and surrounding the
city, this arrangement would not be Inter
fered with In the least by the reserve
guard's, but would be quickly recognised
as a body of important strength to ths
regularly stationed forces of protection.
