Secretary Long will probably ask congress to Increase the number of sailors allowed for the naval establishment from 12,000 to about 20,000. Commander Hawley, In chargo of the enlisted service of tho navy, has prepared some figures that show the necessity of this. In April last, when preparations for war were well under way, the enlisted force was 13,008 men, and under the authority al lowed In tho conduct of the war this was Increased until the maximum strength was reached on Aug. 15, w'hen there were 21,121 enlisted sailors In the service of the United States. Since that date there has been a regular, but considerable diminution. The navy, it Is stated, cannot get nlong with less than about 20,000 men at a minimum. Is It a burn?

TRIE'S PLAIN DE0LARATI0HS Ho Asnorts Thnt tbo Men of tlio Hos pital Corps "Wero "a Shabby X,ook Inir Lot," nndTliatMnny of tho Con tract Surcooni "Woro Incompetent. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 20. Tho war Investigating commission held Its ses sions in the city hall yesterday, ex amining a large number of regimental and other officers. One of the most outspoken witnesses of the day was Dr. Frye, of the Third division hos pital. He condemned some of the methods In vogue in the hospitals, and said that In many cases the contract physicians and members of the hos pital corps were Incompetent. The commission has decided that one of Its members Bhould be in the commis sion ofllco at "Washington, and Colonel Denby has been selected for this ser vice. He was selected partly for the reason that his health has not been as robust as when In Washington. Dr. Frye spolte ot the causes for the prevalence of typhoid In the Jackson ville camp. He attributed It largely to the age of the men, young people being more susceptible than thoso more advanced In years to this disease. He also thought much was due to the care lessness of the men themselves. Dr. Frye said that In all the hospitals with which he had been connected there had been a deficiency of bed linen. This had been especially true at Fort Mcr-herson. The hospital hero had also been short of lighting facili ties. Dr. Frye expressed tho opinion thnt In several Instances convalescents had been sent away from the hospitals with which he was connected before they wcro sufficiently advanced to per mit them to go In safaty. He thought these Instances were Sue to Insufficient supervision, to Ignorance of physicians and a desire to clear the wards of the hospitals for new patients. Dr. Frye also spoke In very uncom plimentary terms of the men engaged In the hospital corps, saying they had been picked up at, random over the country and were "generally a scabby looking lot," not fit to adorn any walk of life. He also spoke deprecatingly of the contract surgeons, saying that he would not be willing to trust his fam ily or friends to GO per cent of them. In reply to a request from General Dodge Major Frye gave his opinion as to tho origin of the popular excitement concerning the conditions at Montauk Point while the troops were stationed there. He said that from 50 to 75 per cent of the men were sick when they landed there, and that Insufficient pro vision had been made for them. As a consequence many were compelled to lie upon the bare ground, and they nat urally suffered from exposure. He also asserted that reporters of the many newspapers had been sent to the camp under Instructions to find all that was bad and nothing that was good. Colonel Dows, of the Forty-ninth Iowa regiment, followed Dr. Frye, and he was In turn followed by various members of his regiment. Colonel Dows said there had been no deficiency In the commissary supplies. "The men have the regular army rations," he said, "and If they have not had enough the fault Is theirs." Speaking of the medical supplies Colonel Dows said that a physician whom Governor Shaw had sent to the camp had spoken with surprise of the variety and the quality of the medicines and medical appli ances on hand. General E. B. WHIIston. In command of the First brigade of the Seventh corps, was questioned nliout various points, having been stationed at Camp Thomas, Montauk Point, Annlston and other points before coming to Jack sonville. He said the principal objec tion he had to Camp Thomas, In Chlck- amauga Park, was the fact that It was Impossible, on account of the formation of the ground, to have sinks more than two or three feet In depth. There had also been an Insufficiency ot water In the beginning of tho history of the camp. Speaking of the conditions at Jack sonville he said he did not See that any fault could be found with either the ad ministrative officers or the service per formed by them In either the medical, commissary or quartermaster depart ments. Most of his staff officers were volunteers, but he had found them very efficient. He had also found the troops In his command splendidly equipped, and had found the regimental officers especially zealous to maintain the best sanitary conditions possible. General WHIIston had been at Mon tauk from the 10th of August to the 13th of September and had superin tended the debarkation of the troops and the location of tho Infantry regi ments In camp. "Never," said he, "was a prettier camp pitched In the United States than was that camp at Montauk."

A Prominent Citizen of flew Hampshire Relates Ills Experience, "By their fruits ye shall know them," Self confident and sincere is the man who is will ing to be judged by results. Such a man is Dr. Greene, the discoverer of Nervura, the standard remedy for diseases and weaknesses of the blood and nerves. Advanced science has demonstrated that the vast majority of human ailments are symptoms of weakened vitality or some derangement of the nervou6 system Chronic exhaustion, dyspepsia, head aches, neuralgia, insomnia, and resultant effects upon the mind as manifested in irritabil ity and melancholy, arc nervous disorders, and can only be cured by a revitalization of the nervous system. Mr. Alvah II. liryant, Manchester, N. H., says : ' A year ago, this spring, I experienced trouble with my chest. It pained me at times so that I would involuntarily raise my hands to strike my chest in order to case the depressing feeling. In addition to my suffering iu this direction, I was troubled with extreme ner vousness. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy was rcconvncudcd, nnd I tried four bottles of this medicine. The result was cry satisfactory. In nearly the entire year following 1 seemed to be in perfect health. i nave no hesitation m rccommendinii Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy to afflicted ones." hlood add nerve diseases are sometimes so complicated that there is much satisfaction in consulting Dr. Greene personally, which may be done at his office, 35 West 14th St., New ork Cty, or he can be written to 111 regaid to any case.

V London, Oct. 20. Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, speaking at North Shields last evening, announced that the government had opened negotiations with the powers with a view of securing to tho sub jects of tho various powers tho "right of developing the respective spheres in which each country Is especially In terested." Regarding the Fashoda question ho said he wished cordially to acknowl edge the desire evidenced In tho speeches of Lord Jlosobery nnd Her bert Asqulth to help the government In the matter, "a matter which might develop to the utmost gravity." "It Is Impossible," he continued, "for Franco to maintain that Bho has po litical rights at Fashoda. She has naturally and properly nsked for time to receive Major Marchand's report, but until the contrary Is proved I de cline to believe that Franco will refuse to withdraw. If she refused the mat ter would assume an aspect as grave as Is possible between two great na tions. "The government Is animated by the friendliest spirit toward France, and does not wish to Inflict humiliation. What we desire Is fair treatment. Our work In Kgypt Is not completed. Af rica Is big enough for us both for France In the west and ourselves in the east. Surely we ought to be able to aRrce to respect one another's rights and claims. "I hope, trust and believe the ques tion Is capable of a friendly solution, but this country has put her foot down. If, unhappily, another view should be taken by France, the queen's ministers know what their duty demands. "It would be a great calamity If, after peace for upward of SO years, our friendly relations should be dis turbed and we should be launched Into a great war, but there are greater evils than war, and we shall not shrink from anything that Is coming, knowing that we are supported by a united peo ple." The speech of Sir Michael Hicks Beach has deeply Impressed England, and the utmost concern Is felt as to how France will receive It. The Idea has been prevalent that the French have not realized how seriously Eng land felt on the Fashoda question, which has been coupled with a desire that France would not force England to an armed support of Lord Salisbury's stand. The morning papers elaborate some of the excited descriptions of the bel ligerent preparations of France. Most nf the papers, however, refuse to accept the explanation that French activity Is merely In pursuance of Mr. Lock roy's scheme. Several exhort the gov ernment to answer the preparations of France by mobilizing the British fleet. Some of the more conservative or gans, notably The Times, practically Ignore the French movements, and de cline to perceive any war clouds. Other papers hint that the plain speaking ot tho chancellor at a time when a crisis Is approaching Is an In discretion. Spaniards' Pica For Moro Tlmo. Paris, Oct. 20.
