Kreuger, the wife Of Lieut.. Kreuger of
Company B, Sd 4 Missouri, contracted
typhoid fever while visiting in camp. Her
husband, who is Skilled physician. has
taken his wife to their home in Kansas
City. Mrs. Kreuger is said to be dying.
Many of the cases. giKen above as sus-
poets are well developed cases of typhoid.
Some few are cases ef intermittent or other
fever which may develop. into typhoid, but
the greatest number are men whose all
ment has been diagn0sed,as continued high
temperature" OF the men sent to Fort
Myer as suspected cases, three have been
returned to Camp Algerfor duty with their
respective companies The Others are now
eutarcd tVDhOjd tfentS still
garded as suspects The total number of
patients under treatment for confirmed ty-
phoid fever, exclusive of those sent over
toady, is given by the Fort Myer authori-
ties 1853.
There is little disposition among the sur
geons on duty here to discuss the matter
| SO much has been said already, they think,
of the mistakes of the medical department
that 1t is not wise to discuss the subject
further. Most of them are personally firm
ly convinced that the location of the camp
is unhealthy, and they applaud Gen. But
ler's independence in moving his troops
without further ado. 1t Is impossible for
them to speak freely, even among them
selves without becoming exposed to
charges of insubordination.

and review announced in The Star of Sat-
urday has been changed. AS now under
