Bristol, r. L. Sept. 24.-It is said here
that Herman B. Duryea is to be asso-
c;ated with Morgan and Iselin in the
new cup defender syndicate. In view

substituted. Lieutenant John A. Tobin,

II Tobin bronze plates were put on ths

MARTIN RETRACTS.
Surgeons Statements Withdrawn
''For Good of the Service"

''For Good of the Service"
Washington, Sept. 24.-In his capac-
ity as chairman of the Chickamauga
park commission, General H. V. Boyn-
ton has furnished the war department
with copy of a retraction made by
Major John c. Martin, chief surgeon of
the First brigade, Second division, First
corps, of certain stateSementS rejecting
upon the purity of the drinking water
in the park. The surgeon, in his tes-
timony before the Sanger board of in
quiry, attributed the large per cent of
typhoid fever in Camp Thomas to pol
luted surface wells and to the con-
tamination of Chickamauga creek
above the. up-take to the pipe system.
General BoyntOn says Major Martin
made these statements to him in pub
lie, coupled with the statement that
the military authorities are trying to
suppress such information, and that
the surgeons reports were not true.
General Boynton had the surgeon
promptly summoned before headquar-
tiers, where, after admitting that he
must make his assertions good or re-
tract them, he wrote:
ITO the Assistant Adjutant General,
Camp Thomas, and Department of
the Gulf:
Sir desire to retract each and
every word spoken and statement made
by me to General Boynton during a
private conversation held in the Read
hotel in Chattanooga on the evening of
July II. 1898, believing it best for my
self and for the interests of the public
service. JOHN C. MARTIN,
Major and Surgeon"

Yer bullion from Philadelphia to San

appearance of Assistant Secretary
Vanderlip of the treasury department
in Chicago was for the purpose of

The movement of the silver bv
freight, instead of express, is consid-

or robbery, it is believed, could be
practically eliminated by having the
silver put up in 1,000-ounce bars and
by the employment of a detail of SOL

to Commanding Officers.
Washington, Sept. 24.-Assistant Adj
iutant General Ward, who is directly
in charge of the enlisted service at the
war department has dispatched the fol-
lowing telegram to the commanding Of
ficers of the military camps and de-
partments:
THE war department is overrun with
applicants for discharges of enlisted
men from members of congress, COVER
nors of states, mayors of cities, friends,
relatives and others. The acting sec
rotary of war desires that you issue
general orders today to-your command,
calling attention to paragraphs 762 and
765, army regulations, and to the fact
that the war department will not en-
terrain applications for discharge ex-
cepting they reach it through military
channels"
Colonel Ward has also found it neees-
sary to send the following instructions
by telegraph to hasten action under
this order:
THE department is advised that
commanding officers are holding back
applications of enlisted men for dis
charge. Acting secretary of war di-
reefs that you instruct all company,
troop, battery and regimental COM
manders of your command by tele-
graph. that such cases must be for
warded Immediately, approved or dis
approved, as provided in army regula-
tions 765, through regular military
channels. for action of war department.
Acknowledge receipt and report ac-
tom
1t is probable that the war depart
ment was inspired to hasten the action
of the department commanders in these
cases by reason of the numerous inqui-
ries received at the department of late
from prominent persons, including SEN
ators and representatives, for informa-
ton as to its intentions respecting ap-
plications of soldiers for discharge,
Which have not yet been received.
