Secretary TO General Staff.
Born in Texas, March q, 1855. and
appointed To the Military Academy

Staff
Surgeon Gen. Braisted has issued the
following statement:
The health Of the navy aioat and
ashore at the various naval stations is
excellent. Reports from the fleets
and other ships, both at home and
abroad. are satisfactory. Measures for
the control of certain communicable
diseases which were carried to a few
OF the training stations some time
ago by the rapid expansion OF the
navy and extensive recruiting among
susceptible Young men in civil COM
munities where these diseases were
abnormally prevalent are progressing
dssirably and conditions In this re-
spect are approaching the normal
Admission rates have fallen and most
Of the patients remaining under treat
ment in naval hosTSals are conya-
lescent.
THE ENLARGED division Of sanitation
is proving to he Of great value and
many questions OF interest are al
ready being handled. such as the eli
mination OF mental detectives At tho
training stations. the detection and
treatment Of those affected with ami
NAL para sites. as well as germ car
riers Of various types. All stations
are rapidly being covered by close
daily sanitary inspections Great &C
tivity is apparent in new construction
to care adequately for the present and
future expansion OF the navy"
Big. Gen. James Parker. L. 6. A,

erinE or discussing desertion. He saws

GAS BONDS GO Down
TO new Low RECORD
Georgetown Stock Tumbles for the
First Time This Year.

Georgetown Gas SIS made a new low
record on the Washington Stock Ex-
change yesterday when they sold at
100. The decline seems to be In line
with the generally lower levels for
bonds all over the country. George
town Gas bonds have been strongly
held all year, around l06 and 105 IL.
and only one small bond has been re-
corded on the sales sheet. that at
l05 l-2.
Norfolk and Washington Steam
boat 6s were fairly steady at 10l "a,
these also being several points below
the high for the year. Potomac
Electric Consolidated So remain
steady at 30, while the new Sc Of
the same corporation, not listed as

Commercial National Bank stock
sold to the extent OF fifty shares In
ten share lots at ls2. and this price
was bid for more. Capital Traction
steady at 80 while q little Washing
ton Gas sold at 70 IL.
The annual meeting OF the stock
holders of the National Union Fire

The following analysis of the New
York market situation was received
late yesterday afternoon by W. B.
Hibbs & Co. from Logan & Bryan,
their New York correspondents:
The announcement from Wash
ington on what seems to be good
authority that the next installment
Of 5000, 10000 OF government liberty
bonds will be made at no higher in
terest rate than the 3l-2 per cent
on the first issue with the offerings
due about September Is, had a stimu-
lating influence on general sentiment
today In connection with the greater
abundance OF cheap money now in
prospect.
The developments had an encourg-
ing influence in investment quarters,
as it had been apprehended the next
government bond floatation would
have to be at the rate of per cent
and thereby unsettle the investment
market, especially for bonds.
As the general stock list had
been oversOld in yesterdays some
what aggressive professional selling
movement, particularly against the
iron and steel. copper and railroad
stocks, the retreat of the short in
terest this afternoon caused a recov-
cry of nearly all the losses which
the market had sustained toward
the close of yesterday. The decrease
of $4,000 tons in the United States
Steel Corporations statement of un-
filled orders for last month to June
80 proved to have been fully dis
counted, as there was little further
selling of the stock after the an
HOuncement was made at noon"
