Admiral Van Reypen, surgeon general Of

from Medical Inspector r. c. Persons,
fleet surgeon of the Asiatic squadron, IN
forming him that the general health u The
squadron is good The official repor- sub
mtted by this officer shows tina. of the
entire naval force there are only th'rty-
four patients, several of whom are natives
employed in the navy yard, and most OF
whom are suffering from minor complaints:
THE condition of Admiral watson,
he states, continues coed. The reports
OF his condition that were printed IN the
home papers just received were grossly
EXAGGERATED. He has not been on the SICK
list and has done his regular work every
day"
Considerable satisfaction is felt by Az
miral Van Reypen at the excellent heailh
of the naval force, and this satisfaction is
expressed by other officials of the depart
ment who appreciate that there are almost
thousand marines stationed in the ca
vite navy yard subject to the same cohdl-
lions which make the sick list of the army
so large.
