Then he was appointed major and surgeon of United States volunteers. On May 20, 1898, he resigned his state commission to accept appointment of chief surgeon of the Third division, Second corps. He was present with Gen. Duffield at the battle of Aguadores and was recommended for brevet lieutenant colonel for meritorious services to wounded men while under fire.
