pay him for his outlay and the hard

for in this institution are charged TO

name Orphans home' has also been
restored, taking the place of the OBJ
noxious name "Home for INDECENT

gave to this institution.
Appropriations.
An appropriation of $4,000 for the
erection of the first wing of state his
torical building has passed the house,
and as the appropriation has little OPP
position in the senate will doubtless be
passed by that body. The house also
appropriated 100000 for the TRANSMITS
sissippi exposition at Omaha, but it is
expected that the senate will vote for n
much smaller amount.
Changed the Method.
A bill has passed both houses chang
ing the manner of giving state aid to
county and district agricultural socie-
ties, so that hereafter they will be paid
an amount equal to 40 per cent. of the
premiums paid by such societies, not in
Guiding amounts paid for races, games

about one p. m. Maj. Valary Ha-

ton on the east bank of theAguadores,
near Ell Paso. At this station many
dressings were readjusted, and few
patients were dressed for the first
time. Stimulants, medicines and
dressings constituted the stock at this
station, which was about mile in ad-

Late in the afternoon several es-

to the writer by Lieut.. j. D. Miley,
Gen. Skaters aide-de-camp. These
were taken to this station and filed
with wounded, who were transported
to the First division hospital. Empty
army wagons that could be found were
used for this purpose, and the wounded
kept coming into the hospital all night.
During and after the battle the men
of the hospital corps company did
much of the work in the First division
hospital. With but few exceptions
they worked all day, all night, all the

The report OF Lieut.. Guy Godfrey,
assistant surgeon, United States army,
commanding officer of the hospital
corps, company F, ofthe First division
of the Fifth army corps, has reached
Washington. 1t is dated Santiago, July
2S, and says in part:
"On the morning of July the writer
rode in the direction OF the firing to-
ward Ell Caney, and while searching for
an ambulance rode to the extreme
right and visited the firing line of the
Twelfth infantry. He then returned
and reported to Maj. Wood, who di-
rected an ambulance to be at once
sent in that direction.
Owing to the very small number OF
hospital corps men present with the
division, and as the number of ambu-
ances for the entire army was limited
to three, it was impossible to expect
them to convey the total number of
wounded from the collecting stations
to the First division hospital.
'It was soon apparent that the en-
tire force of the hospital corps would
have to be used to man the hospital,
but about noon Acting Hospital Stew.
ard MCGUIRE, two litter squads and
an ambulance went forward up the
San Juan road. As the'Spanish shrap.
uel was bursting around the battery
on FL Paso hill, near the road, it was
deemed prudent to take the ambu-
lance beyond that point.
''The two litter squads pushed for
ward up the San Juan road. One
wounded man was found, who was not
able to walk, about 400 yards before
Aguadores river. He was at once
dressed and conveyed to the rear by
a litter squad, The other litter and
the steward advanced about 400 yards
further to the east bank of the Aqua

seemed to be very leaky hose that was
laid around on his lawn, scattering
water in all directions; mo spraying

nothing, not even a pipe on the hose.

'em into use.
II bought hose enough, as you see,
to go quite around the lawn. and, in
