all the better shane for the review when
the President comes"
General Lee did not know whether any
OF the Cabinet members would be present
Wednesday, but thinks that some or
them would accompany the President
next month.
The order for parade IS to the effect
that the regiments will hold themselves
in readiness for review next "Wednesday.
the head of the column to move at
o'clock z. NJ. The formation will be as
follows:
Second United States Volunteer Cavalry,
Signal Corps Battalion. First Division,
Second Division. and Third Division. The
line Of march will cover many Of the prin-
cipal streets Of Jacksonville, and the
parade will be reviewed by General Lee
on the stand of the Windsor Hotel. The
railroads have reduced their rates in order
that the people Of Florida and Georgia
may witness the splendid spectacle.
WELL QUALIFIED SURGEONS.
There has been much said in the papers
and privately Of the inability OF the
military surgeons to treat the fever that
is incident 10 this climate. This is dis
proved by statistics. A visit OF your cor
respondent to two Of the division hospitals
revealed the fact that the surgeons are
eminently qualified TO discharge their
duties. 1t was found that the average
mortality from typhoid-tever is 10 per
cent, while the average of deaths from
this disease in our hospitals is between
. and per cent. Men are being daily
discharged from the hospitals, and the
convalescent camp at Pablo Beach Is
proving to be a haven OF rest for those
who are recupereing from the wearing
effects of the fever.
There have been in the two Virginia
regiments nine deaths since our arrival
in Jacksonville, or an average Of three
deaths per month among more than
two thousand men. This would be con-
sidered a small mortality in any city. and
for n military camp 1t is considered most
excellent.
