Authority to Convene Them Where No Travel Expense is Involved. Surgeon General Sternberg recently wrote to the adjutant general of the army re- questing that he be given authority to ap- point boards of medical officers at camps, hospitals, or wherever required, for the ex. amination of acting assistant surgeons now n service and of candidates for uppoint- ment, such authority extending only to the appointment of boards where no transpor- tation is involved. “At the outset of the war,” says General Sternberg, “and up to the present time, ap- pointments have been made by me upon such professional and other indorsement as ndidates have been able to present. This urse was necessary because of the urgent * service and the fact that dcers were not available for duty on examining boards.” In reply the adjutant general the surgeon general that the War directs him to say that he ection to the surgeon general boards of officers for the purpose mention. ed, where the constitution of such boards involves no travel, and where it does not informed ecretary of sees no ob- convening | interfere with the performance of the regu- lar duties of the officers det Bowed ailed on the dabra Ctub.

THE MARINE GUARDS Their Part in the Naval Battle of July 3. —_—_42___ DARING DESCRIBED.BY THEIR OFFICERS —_——_oi__. Vt All Animated by°the Spirit, That Has Made the Corps Renowned. TERRIBLY ACCURATE FIRE The Navy Department today maée public the reports of the marine officers who com- manded the marine guards on the warships which took part in the great naval batile of July 3. They contain many new and inter- esting details of that engagement, end bear eloquent testimony to the valor und effi- ciency of the marines. Sapt. P. St. C. Murphy, who commanded the guard on the Brooklyn, says that when the Spanish fleet came out of Santiago harbor the guard, which was at cuariers for inspection, was immediately dismissed, and the men sent to their stations ‘or bat- ue. “The men were full of enthusiasm,” he says, “but there was no exciteraent or disorder, and apparently no concern for personal safety. “The battery was handled with admirable coolness and deliberation. Greater care could not be taken in setting sigtts and aiming tf the men had been at target prac- tice and each striving to make a record score. “Considering the fact that the eneray was within effective range during the part of the action the fire of the battery must have been most de: to his men and material, and cont-puated its full share to bringing the battle to an end so spedily and with so little loss co our- selv “It is reported that Spanish officers have stated that so deadly was the effect of our secondary battery fire it was impossible io keep their men at the guns. “Where all did their duty manfully it is a difficult matter to select individuals tor special mention. There are some, however, who deserve to be brought to your notice by name for conduct that displayed in a conspicuous manner courage, intelligence and devotion to duty. “Phe battle orderlies well merit a place among those whose conduct is worthy of special mention. They were on the move constantly bearing battle orders to all parts of the ship, and in no instance did they fail in the prompt and intelligent perform- ance of thelr responsible duty. The signal men occupied very exposed positions during the action and rendered excellent service. Signal halyards and numbers, battle Mags and speed cones, were riddled by small projectiles and fragments of bursting shell, casualties that show in what a zone of danger the signal men performed their duties. Signal Men Coombs and McIntyre and Battle Orderlies Rall and Davis were so near Yeoman Ellis when he was killed that they were bespattered with blood. “The music boys, Drummer Wetsenberg and Fifer Stewart, were stationed on the main and gun decks, respectively, to sound trumpet calls, and behaved manfully. Noae showed more unflinching courage than the men in the military, tops, who stood by their guns delivering ‘their fire with unerr- ing precision, undismayt@ by the projectiles flying shout them and striking in their im- mediate vicinity. Private Stockbridge, the only man on the sick; list, climbed into the main top at the signal for battle, where he remained to the end of the action, doing good work at his gum. “There were no casualties of a serious na- ture. Two men were slightly injured, one Private Flynn, in the back by a splint the other, Private Barfield, in the leg, cause unknown. In néither case was it necessary for the man’ tb leave his station. “It is a matter of @¥eatest pride to the guard, officers and mén alike, to be able to claim‘a share in the splendid work done by the Brooklyn on the 3@ instant.” The report of Capt:Murphy was ap- proved by Rear Admira] Schley and Capt. F. A. Cook, commanding the Brooklyn. On the Oregon. Capt. R. Dickins, commanding the guard on the battle ship Oregon, reported that that ship took a most prominent part in the bombardments of Santiago June 6 and 16 and July 1 and 2 and in the battle of July and also under fire during king of the Reina Mercedes. ‘The id, “‘were stationed at the ‘y batte and had the two 1- Sin the fighting top, the four 6- pounders on the bridge, and four 6-pound- ers on the superstructure, which were manned non-commis d officers and thirty-eight privates. The remainder of the guard were stationed as sharp- shooters. “From the time the Oregon left Callao, Peru, until after the destruction of the Spanish fleet off Santiago de Cuba the ma- rines kept a constant watch, as sharp- shooters, forward and aft, and a lookout for every pair of 6 and 1-pounders whic! they manned, the remainder of the gun crews sleeping at their guns with ammu- nition at hand. ‘lark, commanding ‘aptain Dickins’ the report ‘The within report is a modest statement by a brave and most deserving officer con- cerning the highly meritorious part taker by himself and Lieutenant A. R. Davis and the noncommissioned officers and privates of the marine guard of the Oregon during the days and nights of anxious waiting for the Spanish fleet on the Atlontic, and with searchlights at the entrance of Santiago harbor, during three engagements with the enemy's batteries, and In the battle of the 3d of July. Every man in the guard had an exposed station, and the only reluct- anee ever shown by any of them promptly to obey was when ordered to take shelter behind the turrets, while the alacrity with which they ever sprang to their posts showed that they were all animated by the spirft chat has given the Marine Corps its reputation for bravery and faithfulness during a full century.” On the Texas. Lieuterant C. S$. Radford, who command- ed the guard on the battle ship Texas, speaks of their work as follows: “In all the bombardments the men went to and remained at their stations, The Texas was in the bombardments of San- itago of June 6, 16 and July 2. On June 15 forced the mined entrance to Guantanamo 4-100 pound gun cotten mine afterward recovered) and reduced the fortifications Without assistance silenced the Socapa bat- tery on June 22, which had successfully withstood the combined fire of the western squadron on the 6th and 16th.

Total secondary battery fire, 730 shot#, the marines @ring 330, g “As all secondary battery guns were manned every night With two men of each crew, ons man of each: gun always on look- out, the service was, hard but cheerfully performed. The regular post duty was in no way neglected. The guard of this ves- sel, by direction of Captain J. W. Philip, U. S..N., was landed at Guantanamo on June 12 (taking ashore two Colt automatic guns), and assisted in:thp defense of Camp McCalla on June 12 and 13, the men be- having well urder fire, The funeral escort for the burial of Dr, Gibbs and two pri- vates remained at parade;rest and perfectly cool under the stray .firing of the Spanisa sharpshocters. “The guard has done all that was re- quired and in a cheerful and satisfactory manner.” In forwarding Lieut. Radford’s report Capt. J. W. Philip, commanding the Texas, Says: aH desire to call attention of the colonel commandant not only to the gallant con- duct of Lieut. Radford, but to the fact that he has the distinction of being the only of- ficer in the marine corps who has done service both ashore and afloat during this war, a fact that should be brought to the attention of the Navy Department for its consideration.” ~ On the Indiana. Capt, L. W. T. Water, commanding the guard on the battle ship Indiana, reports, in part, as follows: “Practically, since a day or two after the destruction of the Maine, this ship has been A Physician’s Frank Endorsement of Warner’s Safe Cure« “an Bo says a young brother, The doct and, more, cystitis and failed 4 Intense that It see ing. sourt, title, mation of the b fact tw that the When what they should scientific discovery, we could do was bands of the clock conld me For nearly five years my find relief fr bottle of Warner's Safe Kidney and the secoml bottle effected complete see sit and walt I bad never imagined that the an who tells how he watched at the bedside of his only had frankly WIth nerves stretched to a emul tem valid connted the swings of the pendulim, wondering what the end wonld be: Few of us reach middle life withont some such expertence Is why a letter Ike the following will awa! wiedged that be could do nothing the friends of the inz bis, and that fe Interns KANSA Mrs. Ty January 2uth, 1898, sister, vis, was afflicted wirlt a physicians or thelr remedies. afc My Liver Cur ded great benefit and ry. ors suffering was so unbearable, it being necessary at thnes te give hypo- dermic injections of morphine to afford temporary reltef, T recommend {t to sufferers from liver ad kidney troubles as a bless JOHN R.

In all of the wearing and wearying watch duty, all war work, both in prepa- ration for and during actual warfare, the marines willingly and cheerfully took part, performing the many duties required cf them so well that, during the time of pre- paration and war, there were only two cases of dereliction of duty; and at all times meeting with the approval and grati- fication of the commanding officer, who has stated to me that he regarded our men as the best in the squadron. “I cannot mention specific cases of duty performed in a markedly superior manner when ail did so well. ‘On July 2, during the attack on the forts at Santiago, the marines did all the fring at the eastern battery and Morro. This firing was so accurate and controlled as 10 draw strong expressions of admiration and approval from the commanding officer and the officers of other ships. ‘On the occasion of the destruction of Cervera’s fleet, the rapid-fire battery of this ship fired 1,744 shots in about sixty-five minutes; of this number, 1,594 were fired by the guns under my charge, a little more than a third of this number being fired by the marines. “The condition of the Oquendo and Tere- sa after the action, together with the rapid destruction of the ‘torpedo-boat destroyers, attest the accuracy of the fire of the rapid- fire batter’ The statement made at Nor- folk by Captain Conchas of the Teresa, to the effect that he could not keep his men at the guns or send messages and orders on account of the terrific fire from the rapid- fire guns of the three eastern ships of the squadron is a further proof of the accuracy and rapidity of fire of these guns. “Captain Conchas stated in conversation with civilians that his ship was destroyed by the fire of the three first shins a few moments after leaving the channel and turning to the westward.” Capt. H. C. Taylor, commanding the In- diana, indo: Waller's report as follows: “The conduct of the marines equaled in excellence that of the other divisions of the ship. All divisions of the ship, inciud- ing the marines, behaved admirably in all the various engagements of the v “With reference to the marine officers of the Indiana, their ccnduct was equally de- serving high praise and commendation with the officers of the other divisions of the ship. On the New York. Lieut. R. H. Lane, commanding the guard of the flagship New York, says in his re- port: “On July 3, 1898, the men went to th stations with much enthusiasm and were delighted at the prospect of coming to close quarters with the enemy. Privates William Rapp, William O'Neil and Charles W. Ber- thold’ were on the sick list, but went to their stations for genera! quarters and per- formed their duties there. The men at all times showed a commendable coolness while under fire. The ammunition passers were subject to call as riflemen. Private William Rapp was slightly wounded by a fragment of a shell at San Jusn. The Sta- ticns during the different engagements with shore batteries were practically the same as at San Juan. The services of the mar- ines of this vessel were on each occasion efficient. “In addition to their regular duties, the marines furnished parts of prize crews, patrol launch crews, stood watch at the guns and were posted as armed lookouts for torpedo boat Capt. F. Chadwick, commanding the New York, forwarded Lieut. Lane's port with the following indorsement: “The officers and men of the mariae guard on beard this ship at all times in action did their duty most creditably. I have nothing but praise for their condact and bearing at any ‘ime when engaged when there wus a prespect of engagement. aes > <—___— ADVANCEMENT OF LABOR. re- Data Contained tn Report of Charch Association. Interesting facts are contained in the re- port of the Church Association for the Ad- vancement of the Interests of Labor, sub- mitted to the Episcopal convention. Many of the bishops are vice presidents of the association and deeply interested in the work. The society was founded May 17, 1887, by Rev. J. O. S. Huntington, O. H’ C., Rev. B. F. DeC D. D., Rev. F. W. Tomkins, jr., Rev. Edward Kenney, Rev. J. W. Kramer, M. D., Rev. W. D. P. Bliss, Rev. Sturges Allen, O. H. C., and Rev. John Anketell. Soon after its formation Bishop Huntington was elected president, and stiil holds that office. One of the earliest acts of the association was a petition circulated among communi. cants and presented to the New York dio- cesan convention asking that its printing and other work be done at fair houses, and that the convention recommend churches and communicants to do the same, to the end that the laborer may not be underpaid, and also asking aid for all lawful efforts to obtain a shorter working day. This pet!- tion was not acted upon until the following year, when it received favorable considera- tion, and its recommendations were adopt- ed in several dioceses. From its foundation the association took part in the conflict waged in the interest of better treatment of women and children in retail stores, and has lived to see a great improvement in this particular. More than once has the bishop of Albany appeared before legislative committees at hearings of the mercantile bill at the request of the society. Against Swent Shops. ‘The report says: A. I. L. has assisted in the agitation ag: a chance to be heard. In 1895 Dr. John P. Peters, president of St. Michael's Chapter, called a meeting in his church, at which Bishop Potter presided, and the striking cloakmakers were given opportunity to state their case. The society has also as- sisted in efforts to abolish the sweating system by legislative action, and through its efficient sweat shop committee has taken the initiative in inspection and persistent endeavors to enforce existing prohibitive laws, which are often more honored in the breach than the observance. While there has been, through agitation and factory inspection, some improvement in the sani- tary conditions of sweat shops in great cities, the system still flourishes, with its evils of long bours and low wages. “The association has always been a con- sistent and uncompromising advocate of tenement house reform, and, although its present excellent tenement house commit- tee repofts a betterment in this direction, yt there is much room for improvement in cities great and small of the United States. “It has always interested - itself in ali ainst sweat shops by giving the workers | The only complete housefurnishers in Washington. usually find—patterns not to be met with in freshness and originality stock that you will search in vain for in other furniture stores. our prices are on the bargain order.

It may be weil to glan ganized labor toward the church at the time Bishop Huntington became the presi- dent of this association. Organized labor had very little confidence in the church or the C, A. I._L., and was suspicious of the motives underlying any consideration of labor problems from a churchly standpoint. Since that time, through the persistent and faithful work of this association, organized labor looks to the church for aid. “In this connection the C. A. I. L. recog- nizing the fact of the strained relations sometimes arising betwen employer and employe, culminating in those unhappy methods of warfare called ‘strikes,’ in 1883 established a committee of conciliation and arbitration, with Bishop Potter as chairman, The valuable work done by this vice president of C. A. I. L. in preventing and settling strikes is well known. Attitude of Labor. “It may be interesting here to show the attitude of labor organizations toward C. A. ; L. L. and Bishop Potter. On the evening of May 8, 1898, a special labor service under the auspices of this association was held in Trinity Church, New York, and the ser- mon was preached by the bishop of New York. C. A. I. L. sent invitations to all labor organizations in the city and vicinity to send delegates to this service. The re- sponses to this invitation were most cordial and a goodly number of delegates assem- bled. A letter of acceptance was received from one of the locals of the United Broth- erhood of Carpenters and Joiners of Ameri- ca, stating that twelve delegates would be present from his local, and adding: ‘I must honestly say that Bishop Potter has the good-will and confidence of all labor organ- izations for the active sympathy he has al- ways shown in behalf of the labor com- munity.’ This attitude of confidence to- ward the C.

The Washington Obstetrical and Gynaeeo- logical Soctety met in annual session last night at the office of Dr. G. N. Acker. Ths principal business of the meeting was the election of new officers.
