faithfully carried out by the troops Great
attention has been given to the boiling of
the drinking water, but do not believe
that the men, even in established camps,
can be made to avoid unboiled water en-
tirely; and upon the march the enforce
ment of this order is impracticable. Au-
thority was given the medical department
to purchase quick lime for use in the Sinks
but no lime can be found in this climate
which is not air slaked. Great as would
be the expense l should recommend that
whenever practicable a sufficient quantity
Of chloride of lime be furnished to dis:n-
feet every sink at least once day.
The Medical Department.
at is not my province to either criticise
or command the administration of the med
ical department in these islands, but I
wish to preface a recommendation with
the statement that the organization, equip
ment, etc, are probably as nearly perfect
as they can be made under the conditions
which prevail. In my opinion each regi-
ment should have four medical officers;
one for each battalion and a regimental
surgeon, and the battalion organization
should be further recognized by three
smaller sets of medical and surgical chests,
each to be compleee in essentials in itself
In addition to the large set now furnished
for the regiment. find that in the regi-
ments the surgeons have been assigned to
battalions and take sick call and care for
tHem Separately ana tnat. this arrange
Dent for many reasons works satisfactorily.
regimental surgeon is needed for pur-
poses of general supervision and admins
tration. The battalion in the new regi-
mental formation is almost as much a
unit as the regiment formerly was and al
most as large.
I recommended in former report that
light spring wagon with two mules be as
signed to each regimental medical depart
ment and that six of these wagons be at
tsched to the division ambulance train, to
be used in carrying the medical and surgi-
cal equipments so that it may always be
ahead of the rest of the transportation and
available. The recommendation was not
carried out on account of the scarcity of
mules, but should be put into effect as soon
as possible, l believe, in cases where reyi-
ments are likely to have active service in
country where wheeled TRANSPORTATION
can be used"

GERMAN NAVAL STRENGTH IN 100.
1t Will Out Class Both That of France
and America.

~ Out SlASe bOtn That OF france
and America.
An American naval officer now in Berlin
who enjoys exceptional advantages for
gathering Information regarding the Ger
man navy asserts that the German govern
ment has made all the preparations neces-
sary to finish the construction of the new
warships by 1905 instead of 1916, as the
naval augmentation bill seemingly provides.
In 1908 the German navy. according to this
officer, will have thirty-seven battle ships,
varying from II 600 to 1900 tons, and
thirty large and forty small armored cruis-
ers, thus exceeding in fighting power the
navy of France. Before the end Of 1906
still according to the same informant-Ger-
many will be mistress of the North sea and
her fleet will beat the American over two
fold.
The Germania, the organ Of the centrists,
asserts that the conservative leaders are
now attempting to induce the centrists to
vote against the governments bill, although
in order to curry favor with the emperor.
they publicly pretend to advocate its pas
sage. This declaration fell today like a
bomb into the conservative camp.
The official Hamburger Correspondent
concludes an article on the subject of naval
increase as follows: May the nation take
timely care Of our fourishing commerce and
thus avoid the fate of the Hanse'

BISHOP wITTAKER's VIEWS.
Pleased With Impressfons He Re
ceived While in Cuba


Bishop o. P. Whitaker Of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of Eastern Pennsylvania,
who has just returned to Philadelphia from
a trip to Cuba, expresses himself as graft
fed by his observations there, both from an
ecclesiastical and a national point of view.
He said:
"Of the Protestant denominations the
Baptists are the strongest in Havana
The Protestant Episcopal Church has in
Havana one English-speaking congregation
two Spanish-speaking congregations and
two schools. Owing to the powerful effect
of American influence on the Cubans they
are more disposed to accept Professionalism
than are the Spanish.
What Protestant churches need more
than anything else in Havana are church
edifices.
The present government in Cuba has
had a most wonderful and salutary effect
on the people The most remarkable char
acteristic of our military government in
Cuba is Its almost utter absence of any
show of authority. Rarely are American
officers or their men seen in uniform on the
streets. Everything appears to be running
as smoothly as In an American city. The
condition Of Havana streets is, in my opn-
Ion, superior to those Of New York and
Philadelphia.

are catalogued the number including paint
ings in oil and water color sketches OF
every description, sculpture. enamels and
etchings. Foremost among the exhibits are
three etchings contributed by the queen
who has greatly enhanced the value Of her
gift by sending autograph signatures to be
appended to each of the works. OF the
two etchings executed by her majesty. one
is a sketch, dated 1910, of Adelaide, Prin-
cess of nlohe-Langenburg, mother Of
the present German empress The other
is a dainty outline of Prince Alfred. now
or's attire worn by boys in 1S4S, the wear in
which the sketch was executed, The third
work is study of a mans head by the late
Prince Consort drawn in the same year as
other contributors are to be found nearly
