MERRITT NOT ORDERED TO LEAVE
nc NaS he Coming Home to BE
Married.

up to this moment no orders have haar
sent to General Merritt at Manila to leaya
MS post there. 1t is said, however that
the general being in command of the mill
tary forces in the Philippines is at liberty
TO leave Manila and go where he sees fit
within his own discretion It is sueeestad
by some of the officials here that the mr.
pose of his visit to this country at the pres
ent moment is to be married II is entirely
possible, and, in fact, probable that being
IN the United States and well acquainted
Win the situation in the Philippines Cen
efal Merritt may be designated to proceed
to Paris as technical adviser to the peace
commission. This is presuming that the
commission will continue in session for sev
eral weeks at least, for otherwise it would
not be Possible for General Merritt TO make
a long trip from the Philippines to San
francisco, thence to New York by rail and
then by boat to Paris. 1t is regarded as
essential by the State Department that
the American commissions have with them
some person thoroughly advised as to the
military and civil situation at Manila to as
sist in reaching q sound conclusion 1t
was the intention of the President to avail
himself Of Admiral Dewey's services in
this manner, but after consultation with
that officer by means of the cable it was
believed to be better to allow the admiral
to remain at Manila, where the experience
he has acquired will be of greater value in
the troublouS days that are likely to fol-
low the decision of the peace commission
as to the future of the Philippines, regard
less of what that decision shall be.

TO REPAIR THE WARSHIPS
No Considerable Reduction ii Number Prob
able Now.
Naval Militia to BE Mustered Out In
BOdies-hcting Secretary
Aliens View.

1t is not the intention of the Navy De-
partment to make any considerable reduc-
ton in the number of ships the COM
missioned list at this time. Aside from the
questionable prudence of reducing the eff
feciveness of our naval strength in ad-
vance of satisfactory outcome of the
peace commissions work at Paris the de-
partment Is desrous of using the time now
available to make many changes in the
ships that were demonstrated to be neces-
sary by the extended service most of them
have seen. So they will be gathered at
the navy yards and put in the most thor
ough repair, one after the other being
docked, cleaned and painted, so that in the
course of a few weeks it is hoped to have
the navy in even better shape than it was
at the outbreak of war
The Navy Department has been fur
nished with new form of honorable dis
charge from the navy for use in case of
the men serving on the auxiliary feet. 1t
differs little from the regular form of dis
charge except in it's decoration, which con-
sists of small engravings of an old type
monitor, converted yacht, and a COM
merce destroyer of the Yosemite type the
three classes of vessels on which the naval
reserve men were called to serve.
MASTERING Out Naval Militia.
The Navy Department has decided to
adopt the policy of mastering out the naval
militia in bodies, instead of individually as
heretofore. This will be done in the case
of the New York men on the Yankee, now
at New York, and in all other cases here
after. Acting Secretary Allen believes that
the militiamen will be better pleased to go
to their homes in bodies, where they may
be met by their people and greeted public
ly. The Navy Department is highly graft
ned at the splendid service rendered by
these men. Just before the battle of July
sixty Chicago militiamen We're placed on
the battle ship Oregon, and the reports that
come to the department all speak in the
highest terms of their ability So we'll had
they been drilled in Instances that new
men We're turned over to the milithiamen
TO be instructed in their duties.
Ihe mihtiamen were also on the best of
terms with the enlisted men aboard the
snip, and the latter manifested their appre-
cation of the good qualities of the Chi
caso boys by cheering heartily for them
as they were gathered to be mustered
The department is not able to proceed as
last as 1t would like in the matter of mus
ter1ng out the militiamen, owing to the
necessity of retaining a sufficient body of
sailors to man the ships

peace Junilee, covering three days, closed
mere last night with the greatest and most
successful meeting OF all. Seven Thousand
people were in attendance The music and
singing were of a high order, but the great
feature of the evening was the address of

IN MS defense of Secretary Alger. The

A WOMAN ASSISTANT SURGEON.
DIR. Anita Newcomb McGee Regularly
Sworn In.

For the first time in the history of the
American army a woman was appointed
today a member. of the medical staff. DR..
Anita Newcomb McGee, wife of Prof W. J.
MCGEE of this city and daughter of Prof
Simon Newcomb of the naval observatory
was regularly sworn in as an acting assist
ant surgeon. This, according to Secretary
Alger's general order, would entitle her TO
the uniform of a second lieutenant without
designation of rank. 1t is not likely, how
ever that DIR. MCGEE will avail herself of
this privilege. The appointment, while
novelty from a technical standpoint, is not
the begir ming of DIR. McGee's service with
the War Department. Throughout the war
she has been in charge of the selection OF
the women nurses, and of the 100 or more
now in the field most have passed muster
at her hands. Assistant Surgeon MCGEE
goes to New York tonight TO select thirty
graduate nurses for service in Porto Rico.
DIR. MCGEE has regularly practiced her pro-
fession in Washington for some years and
is well known in medical circles throughout
this country, having contributed several
papers to the American Association for the
Advancement of Science and to other Sci
entific organizations.

needs is not questioned. l have been
through the storehouse and have seen no
evidence of anything inferior in quality on

is not first class all that is necessary to
correct the trouble is to go to the store
house, complain and get more. If the beef
furnished is not in splendid condition it
need not be accepted by the regiment and
other beef can be demanded. The beef all
comes here in cold storage, and is of first
class quality. This statement does not
mean that every regiment has or is faring
well If the commissary officers do not
hustle to get stores they will not get them.

command.
The fruit being supplied is canned, for
the reason that the men who are suffering
from dysentery. which was the case with
over three-fourths of the soldiers when
they landed from the transports, are made
worse II they eat much fruit. A barrel of
apples was delivered in one of the camps

eaten by the men.
