MAJOR ARTHUR SUSTAINED,
Capt. Dillon and Third Officer of the
Missouri to He Dismissed.

As a result of investigation of af-
fairs on the hospital ship Missouri on her
trip out from New York to Manila, and
then back to San Francisco, Quartermas-
ter General Ludington has directed the dis
missat from the transport service of Capt.
Dillon, master of the ship, and the third
officer
This action was based on the recommcn-
dation of Col Long quartermaster at San
Francisco, who conducted the investigation,
and Is accepted as a vindcation of Major
Arthurs administration of the affairs Of
the ship. Major Arthur is an officer of the
medical department. and was in general
charge of the vessel. He was not able to
get along satisfactorily with Capt. Dillon
and there was constant friction between
them during the long cruise.
Col. Long has also reported that the Mis-
souri, is in need of extensive repairs as a
result of her recent voyage, and they are
so costly that the War Department hest
tates to authorize them. The officials will
not state the estimated amount but 1t is
understood to exceed 100000. Inasmuch as
there Is great need of the vessel in bring
ing home serious cases from the Philip
pines, the surgeon general has recommend
ed that she be put in condition as soon as
possible for another trip to Manila. He
does not advocate extensive repairs but
vessel scaworthy. His recommendation will
undoubtedly be approved. In accordance
with the new policy Of the War Depart
ment none of the official reports relating
to the troubles On the Missouri will be
made public.

FACTS ABOUT THE MANAUENsE.
Report of Investigating Board Re
ceived at the War Department..

The report of the board Of officers which
met in San Francisco to ascertain the facts
connected with the famous cruise of the
steamship Manauense, has been received at
the War Department and is now under ex-
animation.
The Manauense was the vessel which car
ried half Of the 31st Infantry from San
Francisco to Manila. The troops had a
frightful experience, having to bail day and
night to save their lives, and arriving at
Manila in a deplorable state of exhaustion.
Lieut.. Col. Webb Hayes, commanding the
detachment of troops on the vessel. and
nearly all the officers insisted that the ship
was total unscaworthy and underman-
ned.
1t is doubtful if the facts will ever he
known officially, unless Congress calls for
the information, for Secretary Root has
adopted new rule, and now holds that in
vestigations such this shall not be made
known to the public further than is exhibit
ed in any action that may be taken in a
corrective manner by the department. 1t
Is learned. however, that the British consul
at San Francisco also conducted an investi-
CATION independently in this Manauense
matter, and the result of that investigation
may, in the course Of time, see the light.

To Change the Name of the Paris,

Senator Sewell yesterday introduced bill
changing the name of the Paris of the
American line to the Philadelphia. Gen.
Sewell says that three of the fleet ships of
the International Navigation Company,
constituting the American transatlantic
mail service, now bear names of American
cities. and it is desired to have the name Of
this vessel in with them. The Paris last
summer ran on the Monocles off the coast
OF England. She has since been thoroughly
repaired and over 81 900 600 expended in re-
hitting her with higher speed machinery.
Under certain conditions the name of a
vessel may be changed by the approval of
the commissioner of navigation, but 1t is
stated that an act of Congress is necessary
TO change the name of a ship which is in
debt. The Paris is covered by mortgage,
hence 1t is necessary to have an act of Con-
gress to change her name from Paris to
Philadelphia

HOSPITAL CASES DECREASING
Gratifying Report Regarding Troops in the
Philippines.
Col. Greenleaf's Message to Surgeon
General Sternberg - Sufficient
Bed Linen and Clothing.

Surgeon General Sternberg has received
a cable message from Col. Greenleaf. chief
surgeon in the Philippines. saying that the
total number of cases In the military hos
pitfalls in and around Manila, March 10,
was 1,2S7. There has been steady reduc-
ton In the number of cases under treat
ment at the hospitals since January 20 last,
when they numbered $50. The cases now
under treatment are only about half that
number. Included in the decrease are about
200 cases that have been transferred to
hospitals in the United States.
General Sternberg is very much gratified
at Col. Greenleafs report, 1t shows a de-
cided improvement in the health of the
troops in the Philippines. and serves to re-
flute the alarming reports of excessive sick
ness among these troops, which have been
put In circulation in this country by So
called ant-imperialists
Bed Linen and Clothing in Plenty.
The surgeon general has also received
report from Major Corbusier. medical pur
yeyor for the department of the Pacific,
showing that he has an ample supply of
bed linen and clothing for the military sick,
and that there is no foundation for the re-
ports that the patients are suffering from
the need of such articles. The report is
Dased upon representations made by Mrs.
Belden, New York state regent Of the Ma
tienal Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, that the sick in the
Philippine hospitals have not sufficient
clothing and are in special need of bed
linen. pajamas slippers. etc. In conse-
quence of these representations appeals
have been made to the members of patriotic
societies all over the country. The matter
was called to the attention of the medical
officers in charge of the hospitals in the
Philippines and the information collected is
embodied in the report just received from
Medical Purveyor Corbusicr.
He says that on the date of the issue of
these appeals for aid in the United States
he had on hand. after filling all requ'st-
tons, over 10000 pillow cases, nearly 5000
sheets. 800 pairs of slippers and 1000 suits
of pajamas.
He said that 5000 more suits of pajamas
could be had a few days notice. and
that many more of the other articles were
on the transports. either in Manila bay or
on the way from the United States. Il
have frequently says Major Corbusier. re
ceived offers from the wives of army officers
in Manila. and also from women in the
United States. to. furnish pajamas and other
articles necessary for the comfort of the
sick. but my supply has been ample that

The Sea Trial of the Transport Sum-
Was Gratifying

The quartermaster general is informed
that the sea trial Of the transport Sum
ner. which has just been completed by ma
val officers at Norfolk. was a complete
success. and that the vessel will be in COM
pete readiness for the use Of the army in a
few days The officials of the War Depart
ment are much gratified at this news. as
they have been waiting some time for the
Summer, which is needed for the TRANSPORT
tation ofsabout 1000 recruits from New
York 10 Manila. These recruits are intend
ed to ill deficiencies in regular regiments

and other causes Although it is not in
tended 10 send any achievements TO the
army in the Philippines, it is the purpose
OF the department. so far possible to
maintain the regular organization at its full
legal strength.
Col. BelNnser-w who has charge Of the trans
port service. says that if ell goes well the
Sumner will clear from New York on the
I'D instant. She will make the trip by way
of the Suez canal and on her arrival AZ
Manila will probably be put on the rcg,1Ia r
se:ni-monthly service between that port and

Presidents Instructions Regarding
American Exhibits ut Pnris

The President has sent instructions to Mr..
Peck, commissioner general of the United
States department at the Paris exposition.
to see that Sunday Is observed as far as
possible in the American section during the

Wives and Families of Officers Should
Not Go to Manila.
Gen. Otis and the officials Of the War
Department generally are doing all they
can to discourage American ladies. and
especially the wives and daughters of Off
GERS of the army and navy, from visiting
the Philippines during the progress of the
insurrection. The following message was
received at the War Department today from
Gen. Otis, in response to an inquiry on the
subject:
Numbers are leaving for Japan and United
States until Philippines better pacified. Do
not consider them desirable places for Off
GERS families, who must remain in large
cities while husbands are in field. Cannot
meet applications for houses and accom-
modations for those now here"
