AN IMPORTANT ORDER.
Secretary of War Designates Assemb-
ling Points for Troops


tBy TelegraphD
WASHINGTON, May 15.-After go
ing over the situation last evening
with General Miles. Adjutant General
Corbin and the heads of the supply de-
partments, the secretary of war made
an order for the assignment of volun-
teer troops now being mustered into
the service OF the United States and
designated points where they will as
semble with the least possible delay.
This step was rendered necessary from
the fact that the state authorities are
very fast relinquishing control of
troops that are passing over the mus
ter line and II has become necessary
to assemble these troops at once to
meet the problem of their substance
and equippage. to say nothing of the
superior advantage Of drill and in
structon under trained officers, as it
Is the intention that it shall be In
every instance.
The officers to organize these troops
into brigades and divisions will be de-
termined upon very soon and be order
ed to stations accordingly. The i'm
preston that seems to obtain that
any particular corps or camp will have
superior advantage over others in be-
ing sent to the front, is wholly err
roneous. The distribution of camps
was made upon the lines of transport
partments will have q. depot in each
camp which can be more readily
reached than the troops could at
their rendezvous in their several states.
AT the close OF work yesterday at six
o'clock the total numbe! of troops
mustered was $4,000. Taking into con-
sideration the careful physical examin-
alton to which these men have been
subjected the progress has been Won
derfully rapid. The order assigning
the troops has been issued and con-
tains the following:
One regiment of South Carolina in
fantry to Chickamauga, to department
commanders: one regiment North Car
DINA infantry: one battalion South
Carolina infantry and one battery
Cheavy). and one battalion Virgin
Ia infantry to Washington. d. c.: one
regiment North Carolina infantry to
Tampa, Fla. also two regiments Viz
GINA infantry to the same place.

July, 400 or 500 patients had been re-
| ceived. The majority of them We're ship
ped north as rapidly as possible
The doctor said that as the patients
at the hospital increased he called for
additional physicians, receiving some
from corps headquarters and also tho
aid of doctors OF the navy and also
Cuban and Red Cross doctors. There
was however, a shortage of nurses, as
the military necessities were such that
it was impracticable to keep as many
men at work in this capacity as We're
needed. DR.. LaGarde expressed the
opinion that the United States could
have had supply of stores on hand as
well as the Red Cross and he believed
that 1t would have done so If such a
battle as was fought had been antici-
pated. There was a sufficient quantity
of medical stores if they could have
been unloaded The lighters were all
used for unloading articles of military
equipment, and il had been next to
impossible to get the hospital supplies
landed
Reverting to the transportation of
troops north DR.. LaGarde said two
physicians had been detailed to go on
the Seneca as well as some nurses. He
said that if any very sick people were
placed on that vessel, they were trans
ferred from the hospital ship Relief
without his sanction or knowledge.
The witness said that he had recon-
mended the burning of the town of
Siboney to secure immunity from vel
low fever and to secure a site for a hos
pital. DR.. Polk, the corps surgeon, how
ever had been misled by the assurances
of the natives that there had been no
yellow fever in the town and had not
then acted upon the recommendation.
DR.. LaGarde had not concluded his
testimony when the commission adj
journed for the day.

", by Mrs. James J. Brady of South
Boston, whose son. Leo J. Brady. died
as the result Of alleged misconduct Of
Capt. Quinlan. Brady was an artificer
Of Company c while the Ninth was at
Santiago.
Mrs. Brady, who was called as wit
ness, said she could give only evidence
as to what the boys Of the regiment had
told her. She had interviewed them
after hearing Of her sons condition in
Cuba. She then related the stories told
by the men. When cross questioned by
Capt. Quinlan she said that one of the
soldiers, Maurice eastman, told her
that he had threatened to shoot Capt.
Quinlan if he ordered him to go on duty.
eastman corporal OF the Ninth
regiment was called. He said he told
Mrs. Brady that her son was sick but
gave her no particulars. He said ne did
not remember having said anything
about threatening to shoot Capt Quin-
Ian, stating that he had no cause to
make such a statement
Private John Chapman, c company.

pills were secured from home. He said
that at one time there were Sc typhoid
patients in the regimental hospital. be-
cause there was no accommodation for
them in the division hospital.
At another time there were 81 fever
patients in the company tents for whom
admission could not be secured in any
hospital, division or regimental. In
summing up the cause of disease in the
camp Dr. Weaver included overwork-
ing the men as one
He also expressed the opinion that
the water from Chickamauga creek was
polluted. He considered the water in
this stream as hardly fit to battle in,
much less TO drink.
DR.. Weaver related his difficulties in
securing tents for the regimental hos
pital, and he said in one case Chief
Quartermaster Lee had refused to al
low the regiment to have tent which
was stored and which was its prop
erty Col. Lee said the tent could not
be taken out except in the proper mill
tary manner. but the regiment had
never been able to ascertain what he
required. and had never secured the
tent The defect was supplied by TAX
ing the officers mess tent for hospital
purposes.
Continuing. DR.. Weaver said he had
been the only surgeon on duty with his
regiment, the other two being detailed
to other service. He had been on
duty as long as az hours at a time,
but he had never made any complaint
because it was generally known that
surgeons in the regiments We're over
worked.
Maj. Louis A LaGarde, a regular
army surgeon, who was in charge Of the
division hospital at Siboney. said that
the transports taking troops to Cuba
were overcrowded and the air was very
fetid and hot. On his steamer, the Sara
toga, IL cases of fever had developed

Important Ruling by the Secre-

Secretary Bliss has made an i'm
portant amendment to the mineral
regulations promulgated by the
interior department December I5

upon the group will be sufficient,
and an expenditure OF that amount
need not be shown to- have been
made upon or for the benefit OF
each location embraced in the ap-
plication.
The individuals and syndicates
who have gone into camps and To-
Gated large groups of mines will
be pleased with the order with
drawing the terms of the former
decision which required $500 worth
OF work for each claim patented,
instead of $500 for the group.
while the new order lasts. Those
who are opposed to the policy of
grab and are content with one or
two claims viii not be well pleased.
They will claim that the original
decision was in favor of the poor
prospector who finds the camps
and very often develops them. 1t
very often took all he had to do
the assessment work on one claim.
In addition, the former ruling
would require the relinquishment
of claims to those who might de-
veiop them. Mining Record.
