Guard mounting at 1:30 is generally re-
garded as an innovation. The 9th Illinois
and the 1st New Jersey have been mount
ing guard at 4 and 80 in the afternoon
Otherwise guard mount has been generally
ordered for o'clock in the morning The
theoretical instruction specified is also an
innovation. Today every captain in camp
had his men in his tent teaching and hear
ing recitations in the book of tactics.
The Amusements.
AS the routine camp duty grows more
familiar the enlisted men give more time
for base ball and other sports The 9th
Massachusetts and the Sth Ohio have been
preparing for contest on the diamond
near the quarters of the sth. The Penn
sylvania men have set up horizontal bars
and other gymnastic apparatus. Foot races
and the other sports named now divide in
terest with the parades in the evening
"A delegation from the National Young
Mems Christian Association came to camp
yesterday to secure permission to erect q
tent for each brigade. Gen Foster had a
site selected for the I'd Brigade tent, just
below the quarters of the 9th Illinois,

In the hospitals no serious cases have

have our corps as well equipped as any in
the service. We Will have accurate records
OF all the men in the camp, we will have
every man at all i'll under the care of
capable, competent hospital authorities
we nave not yet as many ambulances as
we ought to have, perhaps. but we have
as many as are absolutely necessary With
In day or two our division hospitals will
be set up and then we can care easily for
everybody. J--
fruit and other delicacies are always need
ed and the hospital corps will be grateful
for anything of the sort received from
friends of the soldiers. At present, for in

cots. Notice of our plans for Transporting
and caring for such supplies will appear

THE POST oHsICK BUILDING.

mcnt as Entailing More Expense.

ment as Entaiiing More Expense.
There is now some, DOUBT as to the re-
arrangement CT offices IL the new post
office decided upon same time ago.
The treasury officials are unwilling to
send another deficiency item to Congress
on account of the post office. 1t will be re-
called. as stated In The Star at the time,
that, after personal inspection of the
building and~a confederation of the as
signment of space by Cqgngress. the post
once officials adopted another and better
arrangement. Instead Of having the diff
ferent branches of the post office occupy
ing various ftoors,o without regard to
DIVISIONS 1t as arranged to have each
division, as far as practicable, occupy q
separate floor, with the heads thereof in
tne southeast corners, connected by an
electric elevator. On account OF Its COM
pieteness of detail and facilitation Of busi-
ness this scheme was unanimously
adoDted.
Yesterday Postmaster General Smith,
with his assistants and representatives
from the Trea sury Department, visited the
building and carefully examined the plans.
The treasury officials were opposed to
the change, in view Of the deficiency 1t
would create.
The Postmaster General hopes. however,
TO convince them that 1t is the only proper
arrangement. and as such should be made
even at little more expense.

Other ARRANGEMENTS for the COnyen.
fence of the Troops.

Aehcr Oh the troops.
Mr. Perry Heath. the first assistant post
master general. conferred with the War
Department today in the matter of money
orders for the soldiers. When pay day
comes around General Heath anticipates a
great rush from the soldiers for money or
ders to send part of their pay home
This would greatly embarrass the military
post offices. and General Heath is anxious
to help the boys and facilitate the business
of the department He has a plan, which,
If adopted will, he thinks, remedy what
ever embarrassment Is likely to occur.
1t is to pay the soldiers as much of their
pay as they wish by check. In this way
they will be saved the cost of money
business of the department. The Secre-
tary of War has been consulted in the mat
ter, and will, it is understood, do what he
can to help matters
The Post Office Department has waived
that part Of the postal regulations govern
ing the forwarding of mail matter.
This Is done for the benefit of the soldiers,
and all classes of mail will be forwarded to
the soldier wherever his company may be.
The matter came to the attention of Mr..
Heath, the first assistant postmaster gen.
eral. through an inquiry from the Christian
Advocate, asking if the papers sent to
soldiers and sailors would be forwarded the
same as letters.
AS the rule heretofore has been not to
forward second-class mail matter, 1t was
necessary to make an order (Which was
done) waving the rule during hostilities and
giving all mail matter for soldiers the same
privileges as first-class mail.
The Post Office Department has decided
to open money order Office at Manila,
Philippine Islands.
This action was deemed necessary be-
cause of the probability of the United
States occupying the islands for some time
to come, and the demand of the soldiers
a n r.
der to send their money home.
In view of the fact that the United States
has not yet occupied the islands the first
money order office will likely be establish
ed aboard transport, and will enjoy the
distinction of being the first and only float
ing money order Office In the world.

Granting American Registry to For
cfEu-Built Shfus.

The Senate committee on commerce today
had under consideration the subject of
granting American registry to foreign-built
ships for the purpose of securing their
services in carrying troops and supplies to
the Philippine Islands and decided to place
the matter in the hands of a subcommittee,
with authority to report in all cases in
which the War Department may make re-
quest that registry be granted.
The discussion in the committee revealed
the fact that there are several foreign ships
whose services can be made available when
considered desirable. The action of the
committee. so far as it is concerned. will
have the effect of placing the matter in the
hands of the War Department.

Surgeons Called Together.

Continuing the investigation noted in The
Star of yesterday, Colonel Girard called to-
gether the surgeons of the several brigades
this morning at headquarters. Each one
had since the meeting of yesterday gone
thoroughly over all the ground under his
direction. The general opinion was that
the hospital corps now as we'll organ
lied as any other feature of the camp, and
that the sick or aling would fare as well at
Camp Alger at any regular army field
camp in the United States. Colonel Girard
was particularly emphatic in directing his
aids to see that every precaution possible
is taken to prevent the spread of conta-
gious diseases, such as measles.
Colonel Girard thought the establishment
of division hospitals offered the best solu-
ton to the problem of caring for many men
with efficient equipments. He there
fore directed that the three assistant sur
geons should direct their energies toward
securing cots, blankets, medicines and food
sufficient to maintain hospital of greater
size than any now on the ground 1t is still
Colonel Girard's intention to have patients
suffering from acute diseases sent to Fort
Myer, but the plan he proposed will relieve
the regimental surgeons of the overwo-k to
which they have been subjected since the
arrival of the troops.

President Mckinley. Secretary Alger and
others of the Presidents official family
will review the volunteers of the second
army corps Saturday afternoon next. So
much has been decided by Col. Wilson and
Major General Graham, commanding Camp
Alger.
The corps commander and his chief of
staff, Major Heistand, spent the morning
in locating suitable parade ground for
the ceremony. One was finally discovered
about mile south of the corps headquar-
tiers, near the ground row occupied by the
Goth New York Volunteers. a general re-
view in preparation for the ceremony of
Saturday afternoon will take place tomor-
row, in order that the troops may make
the best showing possible when being in
spected by the commander-n-chief of the
army and navy. The review of tomorrow
afternoon will be informal, but will, never
theless, embrace every feature of the par
AIDE which is to take place day later.
General Graham and his staff are now
busily engaged in rerfecting the details OF
tomorrows drill. 1t is proposed that the
experience of tomorrow afternoon will con-
tribute to make the drill of the day fol-
lowing great success, Notwithstanding the
brief service of NEST of the men engaged.
This afternoon all the acting brigadier
generals in command of the several bril-
gades. created by the order of Tuesday. will
have the regiments under their direction go
through the maneuvers which will make up
the greater part of the review. The quar-
ternaster and ordnance officers of the sew
erai commands are making every effort to
have the equipments of the troops as COM
plete as possible General Graham and his
brigadiers are accordingly confident that
the review of Saturday will be creditable in
