sented for reimbursement of travelling eX-
penses of employees who have been working
under the direction of army officers in the
West Indies. These accounts are not certi-
fled by any officer or officers of the army
as required by the regulations.
Major General Miles has issued crcu-
lar on the subject, in which he says:
1T is the duty of every officer who issues
a voucher for personal services or other
wise, whether he pays it himself or whether
it may come into the hands of another Off
Ger for payment, to certify to the correct
ness of the account; and all officers con-
cerned are hereby directed that when ex-
penses of the character mentioned are in
CURED, and employees are lawfully entitled
to reimbursement for the same, properly
certified vouchers will be issued to enable
the paying officer to settle promptly the ac-
counts presented to him.

that they had fought much more desperate
ly than they would had they known what
generous treatment they would receive
after the surrender
As to the care of the wounded General
Shafter said they were cared for as care
fully as the circumstances would permit.
The doctors worked like Trojans. They
deserved and received commendation from
every one. They worked TIL they were sick
and worn out. They worked like heroes.
Ihere is no use for any one to say they
didn't, for they did. There was shortage
OF medicine ashore. But i gave orders for
the purchase of all the medicines in San
uago- The doctors were young men. You
can't get very old and experienced sur
geons to go on summer campaign for 500
a month. But they were splendid fellows
Compared with the civil war, the wounded
were better cared for in Cuba than they
were then"

Fifty-Two Christmas Gifts a Year.

Christmas present that comes not once
a year, but f1fty-two times, is a present
well worth receiving, and well worth CIV
ing. Such present is supplied by sub
scription to the Saturday Star. 1t comes
every week and each time brings a wealth
OF good things 1t costs but a dollar, and
yet 1t gives vastly more pleasure than a
much greater sum could give if expended in
any other possible way. Order it sent to
some out-of-town friend and you may rest
assured that one, at least, of your Christ
mas gifts will be thoroughly appreciated
many times. 1t will be Christmas once a
week to the fortunate recipient.
