Too Ill to Travel.
Private Campbell of the District Regi-
ment's band is critically i'll. His father
is with him.
When preparations were being made for
the regiment to start for Washington to-
day Surgeon Pyles decided that joseph
Beavers of Company K, who had remained
in camp with the regiment, was too i'll to
travel. He was removed to the general
hospital. He has typhoid fever. Beavers
begged to be allowed to accompany the
regiment. but Surgeon Pyles would not risk
having him to make the journey.
Privates Ro-ser and Peters are both
threatened with typhoid fever, but they will
be allowed to go home with the regiment
today. Eosser had concealed his illness for
several days fearing he would be sent to

night, but is better today.
Col. Harries and other officers OF the
regiment today received a large number
of letters from friends of sick soldiers here
inquiring of their condition, which had
been DELAYED a week or more in delivery.
Inquiries regarding the condition OF sick
soldiers will be answered by Mrs S. A.
Glenn, matron for the District Regiment,
at the general hospital.
Patients in the Hospital.
As has been pointed out in these dis
patches no records are kept Of the loca-
tion of patients II the hospital, SO that
people coming here to see their friends DO
not know what ward they should go to. 1t
il this fact more than any other, that has
caused people to tramp through the hos
pitals to the annoyance of sick men, in
order that they might find their relatives
or friends.
The ambulance service in effect here is
not all that it should be- for it has oc-
cur ed that after men in camp have been
reported to get to the general hospital
twenty-four hours have elapsed before the
ambulance has arrived TO convey them.
