Operations on the Potomac During the Past Month. Colonel Allen, the engineer officer in charge of the improvement of the Potomac river, reports that dredging operations were tinued in the Virginia channel, opposite Washington, by Contractor Clegg during the past month, but that little progress was made, owing to the bad condition of the dredge. He says that, although a dou- ble crew was kept on the dredge to run it night and day, the actual dredging time made Curing the month was only 153 en- gine hours. The amount of material dredged and deposited on the flats was 7,788 cubic yards, or an average of about 51 cubic yards per engine hour. The amount of material removed to date under the exist- ing contract is about 6 per cent of the quan- tity originally required to be removed, ap- proximately 540,000 yards. ‘The field work of the survey of Anacostia river having been completed, the attention of the engineer office is now devoted to the preparation of the maps and the project for the improvement of the river. The re- duction of soundings and level notes, the compilation of traverses and the plotting of maps are now in progress. Informa- tion is being prepared relative to lines and ownership of property likely to be affected by the improvement.

The lack of sufficient funds, he says, has also greatly delayed the office work on the maps, so that it has not been practicable to com- plete it at as early a date as was desired, and although they will be correct, they will need to be submitted largely in out- line. The report, including maps, will be completed and submitted during the present month. os If you want work read the want columns of The Star. ee PLANS PERFECTED. Arrangements Made for Presentation of Medals to District Soldiers. Major Sylvester this afternoon completed the arrangements for the presentation of the medals to the returned District volun- teers, as he was requested to do by the general committee. The event will take place at 4 p.m. Wednesday next at Conven- tion Hall. A committee of 200 citizens, not all of whom have been selected, will escort the regiment to the hall, and, if agreeable to Col. George H. Harries (who will be con- sulted on the subject this evening), the ~ ment will follow the committee into the hall, taking seats in front of the platform. It is expected that those on the platform will include President McKinley, the mem- bers of his cabinet, District Commissioners, the District judiciary and the committee. GEN.CORBIN’SREPORT +h Details of the ‘Organization of the Army. KILLED AND WOUNDED IN THE WAR Increase in thé. Number of Regu- lars Needed. OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS —— Adjutant General Corbin has made a re- Port to the Secretary of War, giving full details of the organization of the army. regulars and volunteers—during the Span- ish war, with a special chapter devoted to the method of recruiting the volunteer es- tablishment unde: the call for 200,000 troops. At the last enrollment, in Augus' the regular army consi and 56,365 ted men, and the volunteer army of officers and 207, men, making a total of 11,108 officers and 263,609 enlisted men, or 274,717 in all. The adjutant general says that the sus- pension of hostilities, resulting from the short but brilliant operations of the army against Santiago, Cuba, leading to its cap- ture and of that of the Spanish forces de- fending the city, the surrender of Spanish troops in Porto Rico, no less than the successful operations of our troops in the Philippines, led to the determination to muster out 100,000 men, nearly one-halt of the entire volunieer force, and the first order looking to that end w: ed on the 18th of August last. Since the signing of the protocol the offi- cers and men of the volunteer regiments have remained at their posts of duty, in most cases at great personal sacrifice. That they have done this cheerfully and with- out complaint, Gen. Corbin says, makes it all the more desirable that a speedy in- crease of the regular army be provided for in order that the volunteers may be re- leased from further service and be ailowed ‘to return to their peaceful vocations. Died, Killed and Wounded. The report contains the following state- ment of the grand total of casualties in killed and wounded during the war with Spain: Wounded. Where, The number of de tween May 1 and S$: as reported to the adjutant gene up to October 3, was: Killed, ouicers, and 257 enlisted men; s, 4 oft cers and 61 enlisted men; died of disease, 80 officers and enlisted men. Total, 107 officers and 2,803 enlisted men, being an aggregate of 2.910 out of a total force of 17 officers and men, or a percentage of ‘al’s haracter of the Regulars. In regard to the character of enlisted men, G |. Corbin says: “In assembling the regiments of the regu- lar army at the beginning of the war with Spain the character of the enlisted men arrested attention. A distinguished foreign officer visiting the Sth Army Corps at Tam- pa, remarked: ‘Every man looked fit to command.’ Their conduct on transports, on the march, in ‘battle at El Caney, San Juan and Santiago, gave abundant evidence that his good opinion was well placed. officers and men by their valorous deeds and gailant conduct met the high expccta- tion of the country. “The act of Congress approved August 1, 184, providing for three-year enlistments, did much to bring to the service a good class of men; the further provision of the act providing: “That no person (except an Indian) who is not a citizen of the United States, or who has not made a legal dectaration of His in- ntion to become a citizen of the United tes, or who cannot speak, read and write the English language, or who is over thirty years of age, shall be enlisted for t. first enlistment in the arm The enforcement of this country, small though it w: consent, the finest army the known. It is worthy of note that from the time the 5th Army Corps left Tampa—June 14—until its return to Montauk Point gust 24-the commanding general ulled upon to order or a soldier by gener: “The new conditions will, however, make modification of this statute de , to the end that the enlistment of from one company to a battalion of natives for each regiment serving in Cuba, Porto Rico and Philippines may be authorized. Th tage of this is too obvious for discus- law gave the by common world has ever 1 court-martial. sion. The total number of enlistments and re- enlistments In the regular army during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, exclusive of the hosuital corps, was 29,521. _{ the accepted applicants, 5 tive born nd 5,031 of foreign birth; 27,140 were white, colored and 36 Indians (scouts). The enlistments number re-enlistmenis 5, ments, the percen E: cluding re-enlist- of native-born appli- cants for original enlistment was 87, the tage balan e being naturalized citizens. The re- how that the recruiting officers re- applicants—a little over 77 per ent of the number seeking enlistment—as lacking in legal, mental and moral or phys- ical qualificatio: ,209 of these were re- jected as aliens, and 4,788 for illiteracy. Larger Army Needed Speaking of the necessity for an increase of the regular army, Gen. Corbin says: The organization of the cavalry, artil- lery and infantry regiments has stood th2 test of trial in battle and received the ap- proval of those in command; so that the in- crease of the line of the army, demanded by our new possessions, should bz by the addition of the necessary number of rez ments organized as are those now in ser- vice. The number ef officers should be in- creased by one first lisutenant to each troop, battery and company. This woul enable the department to met the demand for various details required by law and ye leave the troops with the necessary num ber of officers for their proper discipli ard instruction, and in war allow the pointment of sufficient generals and gencral staff officers, without destroying the ef- ficiency of th> army, as threatened by the recent experience of the department. The number of trained officers as herein pro- vided for at the beginning of the pr=seni war would have saved lives and treasure, to say nothing of the’ increased efficiency of the service. At the beginning of the present war somé 460 officers were ap- pointed to the staff and volunteer regt- ments. With these, ad for aids to the generals and other,duty, absolutely required for the conduct of the war, absent from their commands, th? regiments were sent to battle with scarcely more than one offi- cer to the company. iit is dificult now, with the sick and,Wwounded officers, for the department to get, ong officer to the com- pany, and too frequently ther> have been two companies with but one officer. The increase proposed ‘vould in no way give a greater number of officérs than required. “By the date fixéd for th> assembling of Congress the dep&rtment will be prepared to submit a bill pfoviding for the increase of the army. pier “Officers serving’ in the West Indies and the Philippines will, a8'a rule, be separated from their familf#s atid their living ex- penses greatly incteased. It is reeommend- ed that all officers below the rank of major, while so serving, shall have the pay and al- lowanc2 of the next higher grade. “The requirements of probable service in g MUU CNL Cooper’s «iair Success Cures DANDRUFF, —Don’t let Dandruff make you bald.

Rowe & Co.'s large livery barn, with its contents, was burned to the ground. Chas. Taylor, one of the proprietors, and family, lived over the barn. Mrs. Taylor, her daughter and an old man named Clark were buried beneath the fallen roof and burned to death. The building was so suddenly en- veloped in flames that they could not es- cape. Mr. Taylor got out, but he was frightfully burned and cut. Dr. A. I. Compton, a veterinary surgeon, and a boy, who slept in the office, escaped. The cause of the fire is unknown. ‘The bodies when pulled out of the ruins were burned beyond recognition. A dozen horses and carriages and a few cattle and some hay, grain, etc., were burned. The village has no water supply, and nothing could be done to extinguish the flames. The property loss is about $6,000, partly insured. ———_ HEAD CRUSHED BY ELEVATOR. John C.
