NAVY MEDICAL CORPS.
Report of the Surgeon General for
the Year Made Public.

ShC C1E NNaOc
WASHINGTON, Oct 22-The strongest
recommendation In the annual report Of
surgeon General Van Reypen, just made
public Is that relating to an increase of
the medical corps of the navy. He points
out that while there has been a S eadv
increase In the force of the navy for the
past two years, and while the marine
corps Las been swelled by the addition of
three thousand men, there has b zen no
suitable provision for corresponding in
crease in. the medical corps, which is
charged with the care of the health Of
those men, Every surgeon who IS not
SICK is said 20 be on duty and the depart
ment has been unable to supply surgeons
for needed recruiting and other duties.
therefore, the surgeon general recon-
mends that the corps be increased five
surgeons and twenty assistant surgeons
and that five volunteer surgeons who
served in the v ar and are now In service
pc transferred to the regular rolls and
the limitation be removed on their cases.
1t Is also earnestly urged that the naval
assistant surgeons be placed on an equal
Try with those of the army in paw and
rank. AT present the army can get all
of the medical service 1t needs while the
navy can get scarcely any surgeons to
serve.
~ SUI SSO1 SSIlSIdI calls attention to
the fact that of the eighty four casual
ties during the war with Spain only
seventeen have resulted in pension ap-
plcat1ons so far, most noteworthy fact
IN view of. the report that eighteen of
the casualties resulted fatally.
In concluding the report special atten-
ton is invited to the excellent sani ary
conditions existing In the navy and esp
cially in the Asiatic squadron during the
past year. Early precautions were taken
to prevent as far as possible the i'll effects
resulting from necessary cIimatical ex-
posure, ard to give the best care and
attention to the sick. The results have
proved their efficacy and the sick repor g
