HOSPITALS CONSOLIDATED.
Red Cross and Second Division Hos
pitfalls Joined.

Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa, Sept.
16.-Chief Surgeon Girard issued an or
der today consolidating the Red Cross
hospitals with the Second division hos
pital under the management of Major
Charles c. Wiley, of the Eighteenth
Pennsylvania regiment. Captain Wit
tington, of the Fourth Missouri, will
be retained as executive officer. The
female nurses furnished by the Red
Cross society can be used to better ad-
vantage by the consolidation of these
hospitals.
The movement of troops from camp
to the south to prepare for garrison
duty in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines will begin early in October.
The corps will have been established
and in good working order by that
time. The Seventh Ohio regiment,
which has received orders to muster
out. has been removed to the southern
end of the camp away from all the
regiments, except the Twelfth Pennsyl-
vania. which will not be ready to leave
before Monday.
The fever patients in the general hos
pitals will be sent to Philadelphia as
rapidly rs they become strong enough
to be moved. Surgeon General Stern
berg believes the sick do better in city
hospitals than in tents and has ar
ranged with several Philadelphia hos
pitfalls to take care of this class of in
valids.
A majority of the men in camp are
becoming more and more restless, and
unless the war department acts
promptly there may be mutiny in
some of the commands. An officer in
the Two Hundred and Second New
York, which arrived Monday from
Camp Black, and officers of numerous
other regiments admit that the volun-
teers are tired of inaction and with no
prospect of anything more than police
duty in new possessions of Uncle Sam
they want to 60 home. Some of the
officers have advised Secretary Alger
to permit the transfer OF men who
want to stay in the service from the
regiments that are to be mustered out
to fill the places of these in regiments
that are to be retained and who de-
sire their discharges.
