cided that one of its members should be
in the commissions office at Washing
ton. and Colonel DENLY has been Sc
lected for this service. He was select
ed partly for the reason that his health
has not been so robust as when in
Washington.
Says a Good Word for Montauk.
DR.. Frye, among other things testified
to the management of the second di-
vision hospital at Montauk Point, from
which place he was transferred to this
camp. and the military hospital at Fort
Mcpherson. Ga. where he was also sta
toned for time. He said the Montauk
patients had lacked for nothing. and
were excellently taken care of by both
physicians and nurses. At Fort McPher-
son there were at one time 925 patients.
There was no material shortage in
drugs at this point. but occasionally
there was a slight deficiency which was.
however, quickly overcome. Speaking OF
the hospital in which he is engaged
here he said the location was as good
as could be secured in this vicinity, but
that the general surroundings were not
suitable to hospital service.
Hospitals Sometimes Over-Crowded.
At times the hospital had been slight
ly overcrowded. as many as seven or
eight men being occasionally stored in
one tent. This was due to emergency.
The patients. however, had been well
cared for by both physicians and nurses.
and the hospital supplies were abund-
ant and good. Many of the nurses are
females. They were generally very COM
petent. There was always one nurse
on duty for every three patients on the
average. Up to date LOO had been
treated at the hospitals. There had been
only seventy-three deaths. This was
smaller per cent. than the average NOR
tality in civilian hospitals. The causes
for the prevalence of typhoid fever in
the Jacksonville camp he said was
largely the age Of the men. young people
being more susceptible than those more
advanced in age to this disease. He
also thought much was due to the care
lessnesS of the Tnen themselves.
Dr. Frye said That in all the hospitals
with which he had been connected there
had been a deficiency of bed linen. This
had been especially true at Fort Nc
Pherson- There had been orders to pre-
pare beds for 1.00O patients there. but
this demand had by no means been met.
The hospital here had also been short
of lighting facilities. There was not
sufficiency of candles or lanterns
Requisitions had been made for them.
but they could not be secured from the
government stores. owing to the con-
struction of orders. Hence It was nee
essary to depend upon the Red Cross
for these articles. He expressed the
opinion that in several instances con-
vaIescents had been sent away from the
hospitals with which he was connected
before they were sufficiently advanced
to permit them to go in safety.

Washington. Oct. 20.-Gen. Otis
has cabled from Manila: The sit

desiring an independent government,
but hostile to Spain, is gaining the as
tendency in revolutionary councils.

crossing favorably. Though the sick
report is increasing, owing mostly to
the. carelessness of the enlisted men,
the health of the officers is good. The

RUSSIA MAKES A MILITARY MOVE.
Occupies Manchuria TIE erritory in the Face
of n British Warship.

London, Oct 20.-A dispatch from
Shanghai to a London news agency
says: "A Russian regiment occupied the
town Of New Chowang (prOvince of
Lao Tong. and the forts at the mouth
of the River Liaou on Oct. Is. thus Sc
curing complete possession of New Cho-
wang. The native troops fed without
making any opposition, under orders
from the empress dowager and Ii Hung
Chang. A British gunboat was in the
river at the time. Its non-resistance is
regarded as the virtual British aban-
donment OF the whole of Manchuria to
the Russians. and gives Russia an in
valuable strategic position. Great
Britain is certain to lose the New Cho-
wang trade, of which it has so per rcent."
