hold the Oregon beyond question. 1t is a
new dock. of the largest proportions. car
rying thirty-nine feet of water over the Sill,
that the Oregon can enter without taking
off her weights. even though her forward
compartment is flooded. The japanese were
the first among naval people TO perceive the
immense advantage in time of war of Il
deep dock capable of taking in wounded
warship, even though her decks Were
awash, something beyond the capacity OF
any of our own docks.
The Oregon will not be obliged to go out
into the Pacific to reach this dock, for
her course will lie across the Yellow sea
and through the Straits of Shimoniseki and
the Inland sea to kure. Though no date
given in Captain Rodgers dispatch
the naval officials believe that the Oregon
was floated day before yesterday in which
case she should arrive at the dock yard
about Sunday next.

Order Issued to the Troops In the

Owing to the recent outbreak of typhoid
fever and dysentery, of epidemic form,
among the troops at two of the. stations
in the Philippines which. tits believed was
due entirely to the neglect of weil-known

der has taken occasion to call the atten-
ton of commanding officers to the import
ance, under all circumstances of eXcrcis-
ing rigid supervision over the water sup
ply. from whatever source it may be OBJ
tanned
1T Is known he says, that typhoid fe-
yer and dysentery, the great camp scourges
are Water-born diseases, and inaSmuch as
the germs of the diseases are destroyed or
rendered innocuous by i few minutes boil
ing, 1t is ordered that all water used for
drinking purposes be subjected to that pro-
cess and that the use of any other be for
hidden. In order TO carry out this meas
IRE, system of daily inspection of drink
ing water and cantceas will be instituted
in each company, and the unnecessary use
by any member of the company of I'M
boiled water for drinking purposes will be
regarded as disobcdence of orders and
treated accordingly.
