they have been employed eet 10 supplies.

ernor and l think best not TO publish these
lists until matters are more settled. / am
ready at any time tho Governor advises to
publish the entire Egt. The Mayor IS turn
ing over TO me all money no receives.
The report that Miss Clara Barton. pres
idcnt Of the Red Cross, was too I'll, and
that she has been compelled to leave IS an
error. She was indisposed. though not Sc
riously SO, and remains in her room. but
she is stil directing the work o: her as

the work of the Red Cross is progressing
smoothly. In conjunction with the local

staff will supervise the shipments OF sup
plies.
Mr. Donaldson, chief surgeon Of a New

necessary for visiting surgeons To remain
here for mere than two or three days. He
has written an article for a medical journal,
commenting upon the comparatively small
number Of seriously wounded persons. by
syiuC that most Of the wounded were
drowned, but. he says. # IS surprising that
more people, especially women and children.
did not get sick from such trying expert
ences. Efforts are being made to open the
