and the possible thousands who will pre-
sumably be added to 1t. The returned and
returning soldiers to a better climate and
protected by more favorable surroundings
and favored with treatment more conducive
to recovery are manifestly in less peril
than when breathing the deadly malaria of
Cuba or Porto Rico or the almost equally
destructive pestilence of our own southern
camps; but the seeds of disease planted I'M

treatment by ignoramuses or heartless

Walnuts are beginning to drop in some
places; they do not appear to be up to the
average in size. The water supply keeps up
well.

A number of officers of the National
Guard from different States were before the
subcommittee of the House military affairs
committee, which is in charge of the army
reorganization bill. The bill has been
greatly modified since it was recomnitted
by the House. 1t provides practically only
for the thrae-battalion formation, the APP
pointment of twenty-five majors and the
expansion of the army in time of war to
about $4,000. The officers Of the National
Guard generally favored the bill as 1t would
be modified, and in no wise interfere with
their organize lion. The committee and the
ofhcers Of the guard conferred with Secre-
tary Alger this afternoon.
The War Department made an allotment
to-day Of $4,000 for the complete equipment

Inc Navy Department has decided not to
buy the Hamburg-American line steamship
Fuerst Bismarck, which has been offered to
this government The conclusion does not
apply alone to the Fuerst Bismarck, but
to all large Atlantic liners, as Secretary
Long is satisfied with the present equipment
OF large auxiliary steamships. The aim of
the department from this time forward will
be to get small steamers, tugs, transports,
etc. The decision not to buy any more
large ships applies to only those of the
merchant class as the government is still
anxious to acquire any battle ships or
cruisers, such as the O'Higgins, which are
nearing completion. Negotiations in that
line continue, although no further pur-
chaseS were made to-day.
General Wilson, chief of engineers, has
been given an allotment of $4,000 from the
