Army orders limit soldier applications and shift hospital duties
The army revoked an order pending twenty five men under Captain Weber. Applications in person at the war department have prompted General Graham to issue prohibitions on traveling to Washington. Future discharges must go through proper channels with a one to three month wait. Hospitals were established at regimental camps to replace division hospitals in the south and Cuba, with Girard predicting corps will deploy by regiments to Cuba and division hospitals will serve as general corps hospitals for now.
