A ery interesting official report
teen Kcde fronT'the enrgical
r'tre-t in the Philippines cover
jrg the period between February
'h ren tbe Filipinos attacked the
iiitric?n? to March 31st. IV. says
() - number of United States

fllSS- ri'"e total number cf .i-pund
? ul-o: the sscie period and not
iMin the above is 847. Of
i;- :': !. w'asds many of the pas
iiLii -'- returned to duty;
T1 port cays the effect 'of., the.
bastl'a ??'33 rjr.rveouo Many who
S;e'j;.i iiarJIy able to do eemrncn
duty were o?i the firing Hns when
the e n-gsseineut became general.
-The worst of the wounded and
the sieJr, who it wza thought could
not recovenn the island have been
sent home and the rtport expresses
the hope that many of tbeiatter will
folly recoyer through the change of
climatic influences. ' .
The reporV esya the surgeons were
not caught unprepared when the
attack was made and were in entire
readiness.
"The medical officers of this com
mand, says the report, had been
making preparations for a possible
attack on our forces, and when it
did icome were ready for all emer
gencies. The first aid packages
hare proven to be of the greatest
possible value ; indeed, our whole
equipment reflects the highest honor
for our department. Litters, pouches
and medical and surgical chests were
in readiness, essily prepared articles
of food, stimulants and water were
on hand, and our ambulance corns
pany (reassemled for the work) did,
and is still doing excellent work.
The Signal Corps put the hospitals
in cemmnaication with the troop3
at the f rontj and thus we were able
to send supplies at a moment's no
tice,
"Tho eupply,cf food for this com
mand has bee,n good from the time
of arriving here. Of coarse there
may have been som$ defects, but
these were few. The issues for the
trcopa for ten days are ; Fresh beef,
seven days; bacon, two days ; salmon,
one day ; potatoes, onions and toma
toes daily, 75, 15 and 10 "per cent
.respectively. Two ounces each of
nee, oatmeal and dried fruits are
issued when desired iniieu of four
onncrs of fresh beef on days when
fresh beef is issuing- ' -
"Smallpox began to appear in ihi3
command," the report says, "about
'mber the 3d. , Since that time
we have never been entirely free
from it, although our cases greatly
diminished for a season. The en
tire EigHthCorpsh-iB been vaccinated
OTtr '.and over again. Many of our
caeea.of Emallpox haye been of the
'most virulent type and although the
ntmpat care was' taken, of them death
was not to be prevented in quite a
Qumber. We have every reason to
Jope'for a cessation of this disease,
because our surgeons will never
cea?e to labor with that in view. The
total number of smallpox cases to
date is 151; deaths, : 77 ; cases of
varioloid, 85 ; deaths none.
"Two hundred 'and fifty-six'
funded Filipitov including four
women, were received into the hes
P'Jal during February and March.
Uftheae forty-five, including two
died. These people received
, ue best of care and treatment and
?pm to- appreciate the efforts made
m their behalf." . .

It is now a faot to be depended
upon that Concord will have her
cotton seed oil mill and ginnery, as
the subscription list is now almost
completed. The amount of tie
stock is $30,000, and $27,000 has
been subscribed and there is no
doubt but that the remaing $3,000
will be subscribed. -This establish
ment promises to be of the most up
todate make, being equipped with
the latest of macninery.
The time will soon be here when
a farmer can bring his cotton to
