HOsDital.


President Mckinley yester day afternoon
made a personal inspection IF the hospital
at Fort Myer. Va. Accompanied by Adjt
Gen. Corbin, the President drove unan-
nounced to the fort. He proceeded directly
TO the hospital, and, introdue ing himself to
Maj Davis. the United States army sur
geon in charge of the hospital, informed
him that he had come to make an inspec-
ton of the institution and pay his respects
to the patients and those in charge
Maj Davis, the attendants and patients
alike were surprised and eratified at the
honor done them by the President and he
was afforded every opportunity to make a
thorough examination of the hospital. The
President passed an hour and half in the
various wards and departments of the in
sutution, going from cot to cot and eX-
tending a personal greeting to each one of
nearly four hundred patients. Maj. Davis
presented him to each one of the assistant
surgeons and hnrses, and subsequently the
President talked informally to the con-
valeScent patients. "'
The President carefully inspected the
kitchen and examined the food supplied to
the hospital patients. At the conclusion of
the examination he expressed himself as
well satisfied with the arrangements made
for caring for the sick, but desired it to be
understood that the patients were to want
for nothing that would improve their con-
dition or rendersthem more comfortable.
The patients were partic ularly pleased at
the visit of the. President, and Maj. Davis
said, as the party left the hospital, that 1t
would do more to- cheer up the sick men
than any quantity of msdicine.

SOLDIERS WITHOUT CREDENTIALS


How to Pay Them a Problem for the
War Department.
The payment of soldiers who were lot
with their commands when the regiments
were mustered out is one of the problems
before the War Department. Some time
ago orders were issued directing regimental
and other commanders to have soldiers On
sick leave or furlough furnished with Ge-
scriptive lists so that they might be paid
II they were not with their commands
Some Of the officers have neglected to do
this. Then again, cases have arisen
where soldiers have gone into hospitals
and their commands have been transferred
TO other camps or home to be mustered
out, and nothing was left with the sick
soldiers to identify them for the receipt
of their pay.
Several members Of the Rough Riders
were at the department yesterday with
note from Colonel Roosevelt asking that
the department take some steps looking
to the payment of the men and giving
them transportation to their homes These
men were on furlough or sick leave when
the regiment was mustered out They
were in Santiago when the former order
was issued regarding the identification of
the troops on sick leave or furlough. They
