Lieut.. Fred Austin of the 46th reg

sister Mrs. w. A. Drew of this city
a clipping from a Manila paper relat-
ing to Lieut.. w. N. Batchelder
formerly of this city, as fol-
lows: Lieut.. w. N. Batchelder of the
10th regiment infantry has been pro-
nounced insane and will be sent home
on the steamer. At present the de-
mented young officer is kept under
close guard at the first reserve hospi-
tai as there is no accounting for his
vagaries. Since his arrival in the
PHILIPPINES he has seen much hard
campaigning with his regiment in the
mountains of Cavite and the physical
and mental strain has proven too
much for him. Ii not greatly i'm
proved upon his arrival in the United
States he will be lodged in the gov
eminent hospital for the Insane at
Washington" This was published
some time ago. Since that time
Lieut.. Batchelder has been taken to
Washington and is reported to be
much improved but in very nervous
condition on account of which he is
not permitted to receive any let
tiers.
