The annual report of DIR. Magruder
Muncaster. the secretary of the Woman's s
Dispensary, was submitted to Herbert w
charities, yesterday.
This institution was incorporated years
ago for the treatment of diseases of
women and children. by physicians of
their own sex, or others designated by
the board of directors.
The report reads in part as follows:
THE main source of support is the al
lotment of $500 per annum from the appro-
priation of Congress for the relief of the
poor of the District of Columbia With
that fund and the help from some of our
charitably inclined citizens, who have
contributed annually since the establish
ment of the Dispensary. we have. with
close scrutiny, been able to administer
much needed medical and surgical atten-
ton in a section of the city where there
are many poor. Fortunately. we have no
salaries to pay, except $40 per month to
the apothecary. The attendance of the
able corps of physicians is purely gratui-
tous.
"A first treatment is given all applicants
in immediate need of medical or surgi-
cal attention, whether able to pay or not;
but in the former case they are directed
TO seek their physician for subsequent ad-
vice and aid
There has been slight decrease in the
number of applicants for treatment.
/ which may he attributed to one or all of
| several causes, viz: The establishment
! for a period of about six months in the
! early part of the year of a similar in
1 sutution in the immediate neighborhood,
! less sickness, and more rigid inquiry, at
! the request Of the superintendent of char
h.es as 10 the ability of patients TO en-
pioy physician and the dissemination
among the people Of such steps TO pre-
vent imposition.
7 The bare poss .bility Of this being sub
jected 10 an inquiry as TO their ability TO
employ physician. and the probability
7 of discovery that they are able to pay,
has. no dOubt. deferred many from ap-
/ plying, and been beneficial TO physicians
/ and relieved the dispensary of some char
/ ity impostors. II is believed. however
that such steps do not interfere with the
application by the worthy poor
The report gives the following sum
! mary Of the dispensary work OF tha in
stitution: Number of applications for
treatment. 2.S5S; number of applicants re-
fused (record incom2lete) s: number OF
treatments. 2S52, number of new cases.

The Red Cross Society Finds an Opportu-
nifty for Work.

New York. May 1.-THE prize COM
missioners have decided to recommend
the release of the steamer Miguel Grow
er, on the ground that she carried an
American cargo, and the time for de-
parture had not elapsed when she was
captured. She is one of the finest YES
sells captured by the blockading squad
ron, and her release means the loss of
nearly 500, 900 to her captors.
1t is said on excellent authority that
the Buena Ventura. the first ship taken,
has been held to be a lawful prize.
Judge Locke of the United States dis
trict court, who will hear and pass
on the prize cases, Is expected here to-
morrow. and it is believed that he VIII
have adjudicated all these cases now
on hand by May 20 at the latest.
The members of the American Red
Cross. who left New York with the
idea of succoring the starving
trados in Cuba, have found an excellent
field for their labors in Key West,
where there are nearly 200 Spaniards,
mostly fishermen on vessels captured
while running the blockade, and with
out meal OF subsistence. Most of
there unfortunate men have lived on
fish since they were captured, and none
of them have had a chance to obtain
food, as, under the law. they are not
permitted to leave their vessels. The
naval officers have no authority to sup
ply the captives with food from the
ships in the hsrbor, so their lot is far
from being enviable.

word of their plight she sen DR.. Egan,

dred and fifty cowboys are assembled
here. Among those from the East are
Craig wadsworth. one of the best polo
players in the country: Young Ricketts,,
who has served a two-years' apprentice
ship on a Colorado cattle ranch: Hamilton
Fish. jr.. another noted polo player: Hor-
ace Devereaux of Colorado Springs. and
the Princeton football team. William Tiff
fanny of New York, a social favorite and
leader of cotillions. but who can boast of
long experience IN Western ranch and
range; Kennel Robinson OF the Knick-
erbocker club: Reginald Rolands, half
back on the Yale football team. and Hol-
lister. the Harvard Splinter. There will be
about 80 of these college and club men IN
all. but their wealth and influence will
secure them no special consideration in
the regiment. One of them may get a lieu
nan command and two or three are
to be made non-commissioned OFF,
GERS, but the rest will serve as troopers
on a perfect equality with the rest of
the men.
