Washington, Oct. 1S.-The report Of
Surgeon General Ste4nberg, u. S. A..
says that the present force of the med
ical department consists of l92 officers,
which, he says, is not enough in view Of
the large number of coast defense sta
tions and the troops operating in Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines.
a report from the chief surgeon of the
Philippines, dated Aug. 10, 1850, is Civ
en-, showing Il percentagesof S.41 sick fot
the command, the total strength of tho
army in the philippines at that time be
ing d0,554. The sick were divided as
follows: Sick in quarters, 1,261; sick in
rcgimental hospitals, LIP; sick in mill
taly hospitals in departments, LII; sick
in Manila hospitals, 1,50S; total sick,
,5,120.
The surgeon general explains the con
ditions in the Philippines as follow;
THE exposures, fatigues and excite
mcnts Of prolonged campaign are re-
sponsible for the large sick report and
the relatively large death rate among the
troops i'll the Philippines. However, the
opinion is prevalent among our mediea
officers that in time Of peace and doinl
only garrison duty the sick rate of the
army in the Philippine Islands would bt
no higher than it ordinarily is in th'
southern United States"
The surgeon general has this to say oi
the controversial subject of insanit!
among the troops
"In the army, regulars and volunteers
during the calendar years 1898 and 1S9!
there were reported on the monthly re
| ports of sick and wounded 347 cases o
