ed member of the medical stan. DR..
Anita Newcomb McGee,. wife Of Prof.
w. ]. MCGEE of this city and daughter
of Prof. Simon Newcomb. formerly OF
the naval observatory, was regularly
sworn in as an acting assistant sur
geon. This. according to Secretary AL
gers order. would entitle her to the
uniform OF second lieutenant without

however. that DR.. MCGEE will avail her.

The appointment. while a novelty
from a technical standpoint, is not the
beginning of DIR. McGee's service with
the war department.. Throughout the
war she has been I'm charge OF the Sc

700 or more now in the field, most have
passed muster at her hands.

DEATH PENALTY
WAS IMPOSED

Manila, Aug. 30-The chief offenders
among the natives who, on Thursday
last, were mixed up i'm the melee that
resulted in the death Of Private Hud-
son, OF Battery b, Utah artillery; the
mortal wounding of Corporal Ander-
son, OF the same battery, and the
wounding Of Troopers Layden. Mach
bar, Connolly and Doyle, all of the 4th
cavalry, have been tried by court mar
tial, by order OF Aguinaldo. the insur-
gent leader. and sentenced to death. II
is believed. however. that reprieve
will be granted to them at the request
of Gen. Anderson.
After the fight, which resulted from
Hudson firing his revolver In the streets
OF Cavite, which led the natives to be-
lieve that he was firing on them and
caused them to return the fire. Gen
Merritt investigated the affair and then
returned their arms 10 the insurgents
who had done the firing, acting on the
assumption that they had fired mad
vertently. His action is not approved
by the American troops.
Only the city OF Manila Is patrolled
by the American troops. The residen-
tial suburbs are full of armed insur-
gents A deputation from the press is
going 10 Gen. Merritt to protest against
this condition of affairs.
