Chief Engineer MaeCarthy Added to the
Ilsf Of nYnrunrl.nI Non


WASHINGTON, March 20.-Another Vie
tim has been added TO the long list OF
naval engineers who have collapsed from
oyerw0rk. A cable was received at the
Navy Department to-day from Admiral
Seliridge commanding the European sta
tion, announcing that Chief Engineer Gill
bert NJ. MacCarthy. Of the flagship san
Francisco. has been Condemned" by a
medical survey. and that he would be
sent 20 the Brooklyn Naval Hospital, in
charge OF a surgeon of that ship.
Mr.. MacCarthy, al-ough somewhat adj
vanccd in years. being nearly sixty, has
always been regarded as q very vigorous
man, and his collapse was totally unex-
pected. but the strain of overwork seems
to bear alike on the old and the young
of the engineer braTfh OF the naval
service. TWO OF the young chief engineers
have been retired FOR physical disability.
Chief MacTartly's retir ment is certain.
as his disability Is paralysis
ON account Of the scarcity Of engineer
officers and the necessity OF putting sew
eral new ships in commission, j, will not
be possible to send chief engineer to
take Mr.. MacCartl Us place.
Passed Assistant Engineer W. W. Nc
Tarland will have charge Of the San
Franchises engines.
