Chadwick. who whj in command • f Ad-
miral Sampson * flagship, the New York,
tnd who alto was chief of the admiral*
taft during the war with Spain, testified
before the Schlev naval court for a short
time this afternoon. He' w;n the last

was null jnder cross examination by
Mr. Rayt.er, who stated that he had only

was considerable interest in Captain
Chadwick's appearance because of his
close relationship to to the commander-
in-chief of the North \tlant it squad-
ron.
Captain Chadwick's testimony related
very largely to disjiatches sent by Ad-
miral Sampson to Commodore Schley
while the latter lay off Cien-
fuegos. in May, 189s, and
to the code of signals agreed
upon between McCalla of the Marble
head and the Cuban forces operating
near Cienfuegos. He said this code had
not been sent to Commodore Schley bv
dispatch because Captain McCalia had
expected to join the commodore imme-
diately and communicate the code to
liiui. He also told of bring present at tu
interview between Admiral Sampson and
Commodore Schley, in which the latter
had expressed his intention to l e loyal to
the commander-in-chief. He related in
detail the change of opinion concerning
the whereabouts of Cervera's fleet by Ad-
miral Sampson 011 May 21 between the
sending of tne two dispatches of tliedaU-
by Aamiral Sampson to Commodore
Schley, one of which was dated hi Key

witnesses of the day.
Washington, Oct. 11.—The last wit-
ness of the day was Captain French K.
Chadwick. at present in command of
the Newport navy station. He went
011 the stand at 3:30 and had not con-
cluded his testimony when the court
adjourned. He was questioned by Mr.
Hanna concerning the code «>t signals
arrangement by Captain McCalla of
the Marblehead with the insurgent
Cubans near Cienfucgov
1 le replied
"Captain McCalla arrived oil the
re< i-> oi Kc\ We>t at 110011. on the 10th
of May. He came on board and was
there some time with Admiral Samp-
son and myself. After coming 011 deck-
lie spoke to me and said lie had made
an arrangement with the Cubans off
Cienfuegos by which they could com.
municate with the ships. II. said he
did not care to have anything sail
about it. as he was going back the
next day and his would probabh he
the first ship there. He was accident-
ally delayed at Key West by his in-
ability to get coal and water the ne\t
day. so that, instead of leaving on th<>
20th, he left 011 the iist."

"No."

information respecting it?"
"My memory is entirely at fault re-
garding that. 1 can not say positively
that I communicated 11 to anybodx
"Did you communicate it to Coin

Surgeon < eneral Strenberg resumed
his duties at the war department this
morning after ati absence of several
months profitably spent in au inspection
of the medical department of the army in
the Philippines. Referring to his obser-
vations in the Philippines he said to a
Star reporter this morning:
"Of course, 1 directed my attention al-
most entirely to the affairs of the medical
department. 1 found the health condi-
tions very satisfactory. I was very much
surprised to find that iu the lowlauds
which are devoted to rice culture there i3
comparatively little malarial fever. Simi-
lar localities iu our own southern states
are very much more uuhcalthful. If the
paddy fields along ti e line of the Dagu-
pau railroad were in Louisiana or South
Caroliuia there is no doubt ti a it would
be almost impossible for white men to
live in their immediate vicinity on ac-
count of the severe forms of malarial fe-
ver which would undoubtedly prevail in
such localities. Malarial fevers are some-
what more prevalent at higher levels.but
the summits of the mountain ranges are
as a rule quite healthful.
KFFKCT OF IMPROVED CONDITIONS.
"Typhoid fever is not so prevalent as
it is in most parts of the Tinted States,
and the mortality from that disease in
the Philippines has been much less
than it was in our camps in the I'nited
States during the Spanish-American war.
Dysentery is the most serious disease
with which we have to contend, but
when the troops are supplied with pure
water and not exposed to the hardships
attending a 'hike' this disease does not
prevail. No doubt, as conditions become
more favorable, and the troops arc pro-
vided with suitable barracks, the mor-
tality from this disease will be very
much rcduced. Pulmonary consumption
is quite prevalent in the Philippines, and
a considerable number of cases have de-
veloped among our own soldiers. These
cases are at once sent to the I'nited
States, and are treated iu our sanitarium
ut Port Bayard, New Mexico. The
plague continues to prevail to some ex-
tent in Manila, victims being mostly
Chinese or natives. At the time I left
Manila but three cases had occurred
among our soldiers. 1 do not anticipate
any extension of the disease among our
troops.
hospitals in' f.XCKLI.knt condition.
' I fbund the supply depot loaded with
supplies, and the hospitals in excellent
condition. Certainly no troops of any
country or in any part of the world have
ever been so liberally supplied with
everything necessary for the treatment
ami t are of the sick. The female nurses
are doing excellent work, and all with
whom I conversed were contented and
desirous of remaining in the service. As
a rule they are well qualified profession-
ally, and are attentive to their duties.
The hospitals, which were built by the
Spaniards and which we now occupy, are
well 1 <cated and well adapted to the
climate. They have been put iu good
sanitary condition, and are in every way
satisfactory. At many places we have
l)eeu obliged to make use of convents,
barracks or private houses. Money has
been appropriated for putting these
buildings iu the best possible sanitary
condition, and, as a whole, they furnish
satisfactory accommodations for the sick.

An Indian l.raeml of n Mai<lrn Who

Nepawliamis was the belle of the
village. There could be no doubt
about thaTT The tribe of Indians to
which she belonged had but lately re-
turned from the summer fishing
grounds, had built their lodges and
spread their rude lloors with skins
and had prepared the great logs which
were to be burned iu the winter to
keep out the cold, one side of the
lodge being left open to admit the
Iok. which was slowtv drawn in as it
wa- consumed.
Her father's lodge was the largest
of thein all. and here Nepawliamis
presently set up a little court of her
own. tor during tnat summer she had
list donned the red cap to betoken
that she might now be wooed, though
it soon became very evident that she
did not intend to be lightly won.
For Nepawliamis was a coquette,
and her lightsome fancy showed itscif
in nianv ways. Her red cap, contrary
bead- wrought into various conceits
oi birds and animals, and she wore it
jauntily upon her glossy black tressej
with an air of defiance, as though
daring any brave to remove it.
And she wore her mantle, of deer-
skins a< none other could wear it.
The knis. sewed together to make
great length, were ornamented with
the tails of many deer, which bobbed
the great length of her mantle behind
her as though she were queen sachem
of lu i tribe.
And many lovers came to woo, but
with none would she wed. Before the
door of her lodge were laid rnanv of-
ferings until the little lodge was hung
with mats of many and various
weavings, decorated with bowls and
plates of curious design; jars of earth-
ware with pictures burned in their
sides, basins of ueaten copper and belts
of wampum. No hunt was undertaken
that some brave d.. not lay his of-
fering at li^r door, and her father
waxed fat and lazy, as all things were
provided without his exertion.
Now and again some brave, embold-
ened by a show of Kreater favor than
was given to the others, would lay his
first and second finger by the end of
this nose, thus indicating his lifelong
devotion to • r and his m ire to mar-
ry her according to the custom <<:" the
tribe, but to all such, wjth a merry
laugh, Nepawliamis won! ' rxten ! v,*r
lingers pressed close together, and then
derisively open them
Then that brave would away, to
be seen no more by her. and ii she rc-
getted any of them she showed r n< -
! for their places were quickly filled and
the >ame story was repeated unti] the
i;osMf>> began to declare that Ncpa-
whatnis would never wed and to bhake
their heads dismally when they saw
a new brave wooing.
At last there were no braves whj
had not tried their fortune, and Nep; -
whamis* father began to be disturbed,
ior their offerings ceased, the winter
began to press and the old man was
obliged to hunt for himself.
"Thou willful girl." he said, 'is there
none in the village worthv of thee?"
But Nepewbanns only laughed and
j bade him wait. And ;ti the mean-
time the fame of Nepawhamis and her
j beauty, as well as her coquetry, had
pread to neighboring villages.
in otic was a youiv Drave named
j Sakatchoc, the son ot a great chiel.
! But though a brave lie was gentle
and loved the arts oi peace more than
those of war. He was tall and straight
as an arrow, but his dark eyes v.erc
soft with a lustrous light rather than
with the fire of passion.
Finally he. too, came a wooing the
fair Nepawhamis, and he sat for hours
without the door of her lodge waiting
for her to appear
And he sang to her the love songs of
the forest.
He told her the stories of the camp
and of the hunt, but those she loved
best were the folk tales of the tribes.
He told her how Nanabahzo made
the earth, and of the great flood which
nearly engulfed him.
He told her of the origin of the
animals, the birth of the east wind and
oi the west, and he told her of the
n ighty magician Masswaweinini of the
tiie Monton'ine island, and the won-
j drous fears he performed.
' And Nepawhamis almost forgot her
coquetry in the char.n .t ins p-esence
j until the gossips began o lo de a i <
"Nepawhamis lias found her master ai
last.
But it was not to be. No sooner
j did Nepawhamis begin to remember
who she was than her old ways began
to reassert themselves until, when
Sakatehoc finally crossed lus fingers
and laid them gravely beside his nose,
she opened her fingers in his face and
laughed, and Sakatehoc went back to
his village.
Then no others came to woo, and
Sakatehoc went a-vvooing no more.
He threw himself face dawn upon a
great bearskin in his lodge and so
remained, and the days and the weeks
went by and the winter passed and
the sap began to run in the trees and
the birds to mur. but all of this passed
unheeded oy Sakatehoc.
His relatives came to him and urgec>
him to bestir himself, but he waved
them away and moved not. and his
brothers and sisters urged him. but
still he would not speak, until at last,
when the spring was almost come, the
j village broke up, and the tribe moved
on. leaving Sakatehoc, who was sick
with love.
Then he bestirred himself, for a plan
' had formed in his head a> he lay.
' O-.fr :hr site ot til £ deserved \ i!' .
! lie roamed, picking up all that had
[been dscarded—clothing, ornaments
; and trinkets—and of these rag- and
liters he fashioned au image like a
j man. He patched together his pieces
[ and ornamented them with bits of
j heading and leathers and wampum, and
lie stuffed the whole with bones of
men and of animals and with sticks
and stones, and he found some snow
j with which he molded the whole to-
I get her.
Then he called upon his guardian.
Banitou, to breathe the lyeath of life
into the figure, and so it was a wond.
toils sight. \'o such being ever live
! before as this creature of rags and
tones, and Sakatehoc named him M"o-
uis. which means the man oi rags and
tatters.
And then Sakatehoc took Moowis to
the neighboring village where. Nepaw
hatnis dwelt, for it had not broken up
j a* vet. and he took Moowis into her
presence, and something spoke to Ne-
pawhamis, and she loved Moowis from
the moment she tirst beheld him.
And the wooing went on merrily..
Nepawhamis was in haste, for she
I never knew before what love was. and
| at last the wedding took place and all
;he village came to see Nepawhamis
j married at last.
! The next morning Moowis made
ready to depart, and Nepawhamis fol-
lowed him out of Jthe village at a
respectful distance as was the cus-
tom, and as they entered the woods
; the sun shone down hot through tin
trees and began to melt the snow with
which Moowis was kept together.. And
little by little he began to fall apart
Here a trinket dropped in the trail
and there a few rags were caught up
by sJiarp thorns. And here was the
bone of a deer's hind leg and there a
bit of glass which was once an eye.
And little by little Moowis dropped
avvav and was scattered along the trail ,

Madison, Wis., Oct. ii.—The resigna-
tion of President Charles Kendall Adams
of the University of Wisconsin was to
night accepted conditionally by the
board of regents. Dean K. A. Birge has
been appointed acting president pending
the selection by a committee of a pernia
nent president. In his letter of resigna-
tion Dr. Adams said he was actuated by
the state of his wife's health ; nd his own
which, in the opinion of their physicians,
will necessitate their leaving Madison as
soon as possible for a higher altitude and
milder climate.
