Is More Medical Officers. Accord
ing to the Views of Surgeon
General Van Reypen.

WASHINGTON, October 22.-The
strongest recommendation ON the an
nual report of Surgeon General Van
Reypen, just made public, is that re-
lating to an increase of the medical
corps of the navy. He points out that
while there has been a steady increase
In the enlisted force of the navy for
the past two years, and while the ma
rine corps have been swelled by the
addition of 5000 men, there has been
no suitable provision made for a cor
responding increase in the medical
corps, which is charged with the care of
the health of these men. Every sur
geon who is not sick is said to be on
duty, and the department has been I'M
able to supply surgeons for needed re-
cruiting and other duties. Therefore,
the surgeon general recommends that
the corps be increased by five surgeons
and twenty assistant surgeons, and that
volunteer surgeons who served in the
war and are now in service be trans
ferred to the regular rolls and the age
limitation removed in their cases.
There are 1873 Of these men, and in
some cases they are over thirty years
old. 1t is also earnestly urged that
the naval assistant surgeons be placed
on an equality with those of the army
in pay and rank At present the army
can get all of the medical service it
needs, while the navy can get scarcely
any surgeons to serve. There are now
four vacancies in the rank of assistant
surgeon and there will be eight more
during the year, and the hope is eX-
pressed that the corps will not be al
lowed to die out from lack of recruits,
which must follow unless the induce
ments are equal to those in the army
at least
The surgeon general calls attention
to the fact that Of the eighty-four
casualties during the war with Spain,
only seventeen have resulted in PEN
sion applications so far, a most note
worthy fact, in view of the report that
eighteen of the casualties resulted fatal
1y. In concluding the report special
attention is invited to the excellent
sanitary conditions existing in the navy
and especially in the Asiatie squadron
during the year. Early precautions
were taken to prevent as far as posi-
BILE the i'll effects resulting from neces-
sary climatic exposure. and to give the
best care and attention to the sick
The results have proved their efficacy
and the sick reports from the vessels in
the Philippines indicate high stand
ard of physical efficiency in the squad
ron.

Yielding to pressure brought to bear by
friends, the entire FAMILY OF Dwight l.

vitati5n extended to them, The others
who wers asked are expected to answer

New York December 23--In fresh

from this same quarter, ihs final trial of
coaling ship at sra 20 miles off sandy
Hook by means of ths Miller conveyer.
WAS successfully accomplished today by
the collier Macrellus while being towed
by thu battlefh'p Massachusetts,. Instead
Of operating slowly % anticipated Ina

ccal in given time and at 40 feet dis
tance against lhs previous 800 fest, than
In smooi h water. Excluding stoppGGes
for swinging tbs ships Into position, So
trips were made In 80 minutes, 100 bag 3

transferred from chip to ship in that
time, ihs collier pitching and rolling
considerably and the wars hips forward

Capt. Train, commanding tbs Massaehu-
sets. and his officers, expressed grea;
satisfaction at The result OF Thursday q
four-hour continuous trial, but today
was even more surprising and they Say
| that to them 1t proves the system Is capn-
BILE of supplying coal at sea in any wealth

Spencer Miller, the designer of the
Msssach usetts, said: al am more than
pleased with the performance Of the ma

ships OF 200 feet. but after seeing the bags
| In transit on Thursday never lower than

allowed without reducing the hourly
caracity of the machine, and at the same
| time making the towing easier.

| heavy sea. With this extra 2iO feet to
cover, the oonveyer still transferred 20
tons an hour, which Is looked upon US Q
| really remarkable performance.
Speaking Of the trial, Capt Train said
'iThers was no time during the Cuban
blockade last year when this system could

1t seems to be definitely settled that the
guns which the British abandoned at
Tugeia river were afterwards taken by
the Beers and removed across the river.
A British fsrcs was left to guard them,
but superior Boer force succeeded In
getting across the river and surrounding
both the guns and the British troops
Finding themselves greatly outnumoered
