FOR GENERAL SERVICE CORPS.
Brig. Gen. Carter Makes ReeOmmen-
dation in Annual Report.

The annual report of Brig. Gen. VIII
liam H. Carter. commanding the Depart
ment of the Lakes, submitted to the Sec
retary OF War yesterday favors the es-
Enlistment in the United States Of a
general service corps. The absence Of
such corps in our army, Gen. Carter
says, seriously affects the efficiency and
contentment Of line organization. The
incessant calls for working details from
small companies. both in garrison and in
the field. impair soldierly spirit, and de-
tract from the value OF all drills and
maneuvers. Gen. Carter believ-~ that the
establishment OF a general service corps
would result in retaining many expert
eneed sokfF~s in military life who now
take their discharges, and would also les
sen desertions.
Gen. Carter also discusses the increase
OF the army. which he says should be
sufficiently large to provide al least three
reliefs OF troops in Alaska, Hawaii. the
Philippines. and other foreign stations. so
that for each two years OF tropical serv-
ice the various companies may expect
four years of home duty.
The most significant feature Of the re-
port Of Brig. Gen Albert J.. Myer. com

which was also made public. Is that no
reference is made TO the shoOting-up OF
Brownsville. Tex. on the night of August
l3, 1906. which resulted in the discharge.
without honor, by President Roosevelt.

low Fever I'm Cuba.
The third death from yellow fever in the
ranks OF the United States army in Cuba
has occurred, Private Robert Wallace, OF
the Fifteenth Cavalry. stationed at Glen
fuegos. being the latest victim
This information was conveyed to the
War Department yesterday in a cable
gram from Col. Taylor, chief surgeon OF
the Army Of Cuban Paeiheation, stationed
at Marianao. Two cablegrams came in
yesterday from Col. Taylor. one dated
Sunday, and the other yesterday. In the
latter report, he announced one new case
Of yellow fever at Cienfuegos, which de-
veloped in a patient who was taken I'll
the 18th of the month. Five of the sol
diers who were taken with the maIady
were practically well, he said and all the
others were doing well. There were no
new cases in the military command Sat
urday. Altogether. there were ten cases
under treatment, there being also one new
case in the city of Cienfuegos.
Although all OF the ten patients were
doing well Sunday. there was apparently
a sudden turn in the case Of one. for yes
terday the colonel reported Private Wal
laee's death, which occurred some time
Sunday. Yesterday IL was said that with
the exception Of two serious cases, all the
patients are doing well. No further new
cases have developed in the command.
Col. Taylor also reported the death,
Sunday Of Private John Allison, OF the
Fifteenth Cavalry, stationed at Glen
fuegos, OF pneumonia, which followed an
attack of typhoid fever.

MAKING MONEY FLY
Work on Panama Canal Be-
yOnd Expectation
MEANS NO INCREASE IN COST
Excess of Monthly Estimated Ex-
penditures Warranted by Results,
Says Chairman GOethals, in Export.
Progress Faster Than Anticipated,
and Appropriation Is Not Sufficient.

Maj Goethals. chairman of the 18TH
mian Canal Commission, in report 90
the War Department. says that con-
struetion work for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1885, is developing faster
/ than was contemplated at the time that
/ the estimates for expenditures during
that fiscal year were made-nearly a
I year ago.
The reports of expenditures show that
the monthly estimated expenditure for
labor IS being considerably exceeded, and
that the appropriation for material al
ready has been drawn from extensively
The results, however, are In proportion
to the increased expenditures. and with
a reduction Of the estimated unit costs
With the present organization and the
progress which is now made. the canal
can be completed more rapidly than by
restraining expenditure within the ap-
preparations which were made at the
last session Of Congress to continue the
work until 1908. The work on the locks
and dams on each terminus has been
opened and VIII be pushed vigorously
during the year, while very little was
expended at those places during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1867.
Depends Upon work at Gatu.
The time Of completion of the canal ap-
pears to depend now upon work at Gatun,
rather than work of excavation, which
hitherto has been taken generally as the
determining feature. The progress in this
direction has been faster than antieipat-
ed, and the appropriation made at the
last session Of Congress would not be
sufficient to supply the necessary plant
to begin laying the concrete in the locks
and dams during the next fiscal year, al
though progress already made indicates
that such a beginning is advisable.
In order 20 avoid reducing the force. 10
keep within the expenditure already au-
thorized for the fiscal year. the chairman
OF the commission has recommended TO
the Secretary Of War that the work be
allowed to proceed. and that Congress be
appealed 10 az its next session 10 make
good any deficiency in the funds now
available.
II the funds requested are not provided
Il will be necessary to reduce the rate
OF expenditure 60 keep within the appro-
priauons on hand. Eight million dol
lars IN excess of the appropriations al
ready made could be used 10 advantage
In pushing forward the work during the
present year. This sum does not repre-
sent an increase in the cost OF the canal,
but indicates simply that the work is be-
ing pushed more vigorously than had
been hoped for at the time the last an
nual estimates were submitted
