Rear Admiral Coghlan Summoned for
Consultation,

Rear Admiral Joseph B. Coghlan, second

1t is stated at the Navy Department that
there is present intention Of sending the
Olympia direct to the isthmus. but that she
will be sent to some central point in the
Indies to watch developments in each of the
turbulent republics which border the Carib-
bean. The threatened rupture between
Great Britain and Venezuela promises fresh
complications in the latter country, and
fresh outbreaks In Haiti are possible at any
moment during the existing political strug-
giles.

Moody to afford better protection for Ameri-
can interests In locality where protection
is likely to be needed at any time. The San
Francisco is expected to get away from
Norfolk tomorrow for San Juan, Porto
Rico, and it may be that when the Olympia
reaches the Indies, the San Francisco will
come north again.
Heretofore the naval force in the West
Indies has proven inadequate to meet the
demands for ships which have been made
from various quarters simultaneously and
| the Navy Department has now decided to
keep force in the Caribbean, which will be
able to cope with single, double or triple

HURRY ORDERS TO CRUISER.
San Francisco to Sail for Porto Rico
Without Delay.
Dispatch to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, September 23.-The
cruiser San Francisco, when she sails from
this port for San Juan will take an extra
marine guard Of forty men, eight of whom
are non-commissioned officers. The big ship
was coaled yesterday as she lay at her
berth at the yard The coal was barged
down to her from the coaling station at
Lamberts Point. Ali possible haste is be-
ing made with the work of getting the ship
ready for sea in response to the telegraphic
orders of the department. Realizing the
necessity for haste every department of the
navy yard having to do with the fitting out
of the vessel is doing its utmost to estab-
lish a record. The San Franciscos maga-
zines have been depleted by target
practice and will be replenished before she
sails. The men of the construction de-
partment of the yard point to the fact that
she is in condition to go to sea as positive
evidence that the stories of her bad condi-
tion were unfounded. The impression grows
that the only reason she was ordered home
in such haste was because she was needed.
The Detroit Texas and Newark have been
ordered In commission, and the Culgoa, the
provision ship, has been also ordered for
service.

THE YEAR A BUSY ONE
DIR. WARFIELD'S REPORT ON THE
FREEDMEN's HOSPITAL.
Results Attained Are Pronounced
Gratifying-Improving the
Medical Service.

Surgeon-in-Chief w. A. Warfield OF the
Freedmen's Hospital. in his annual report
to the Secretary Of the Interior, submitted
today, says that the fiscal year has been
an exceedingly busy one and the results at
tained are very gratifying in every par
ticular.
The whole number Of patients admitted
was 2 4Os, with the addition Of 127 remain
ing July 1, 1901, make a total of 1855 treat
ed during the year.
OF the 2,4OS patients admitted, excluding
1S3 births in the hospital. 1,792 were actual
residents Of the District of Columbia; that
is to say, 1,792 resided in the District more
than one year. The remaining 433' lived
here less than one year and are regarded
as non-residents. 1t is believed. however,
that large number Of patients claim to be
actual residents of the District when they
are not simply for the purpose OF gaining
admission.
In the dispensary attached 5,397 were
treated, 2,337 revists and 704S prescriptions
compounded. The slight falling off in this
department Is due to the closing of the
clinics for sixteen days as a precautionary
measure on account Of smallpox.
During the year considera BILE attention
was given to the improving of the medical
service in the line of providing facilities as
far as the appropriation permitted. This
department showed variety OF interesting
conditions, several of them presenting rare
features, requiring time. patience and per-
severance in their management.
In the surgical department 523 operations
were performed, Of which number 40 were
abdominal, with but one DEATH
OF the 1914 deaths, 80 died within twenty
four hours after entering the hospital, At
within five days and 80 within ten days,
thus showing that many patients defer
coming to the hospital until their cases are
hopeless.
DIR. Warfied calls special attention to the
meager compensation of the clerk, matron
and watchmen. Increased pay is recon-
mended.
