ALL SICK WARDS.
The Hospital System at the
Preside Occupies Ten
R9PPRckS

Hospital wards have the right of way at
the Preside now. and If patients con-
tinue to come in with no relief to the hos
pital capacity there will soon be nothing
but hospital buildings at the post. AT
present there are ten sets of barracks de-
voted to the use of the hospital service.
Three of these are the new brick barracks
recently erected. There are two more of
these brick barracks now occupied by the
batteries of the Third Artillery forming
the garrison of the post, and by detach-
ment of recruits. 1t is not unlikely, how
ever that the recruits will have to leave
the barracks and go under canvas, and
then it may be that the batteries will
have to follow them.
Colonel Girard, who is in charge of the
entire general hospital system at the post,
says he thinks he will have room enough
for all, however. He is dlscharging men

chase of horses for army purposes. He
will proceed at once to take a trip

Private Clinton II. Campbell of the
First Washington Volunteers, who was
reported as being insane, has been de-
clsred mentally sound and suffering only
from severe mental exhaustion brought
on by the excitement of campaigning. He
will not be sent to the Government asy-

discharged later on and allowed to go
home with his people.
