SHAFTER BLAMED Two Army Officers Tell of the Concho’s Horrors. THEY HOLD HIM RESPONSIBLE Transport in Unprepared State Sent by Him, They Say. MEDICINES RAN SHORT The New York Journal presents today the statements of two officers, Lieut. J. H. Pond of General Duffield’s staff and Cap- tain John Q. Anderson of the 33d Michi- gan Volunteers, both of whom came north on the Concho, in which they state plainly that the order for the Concho to proceed north in her then unprepared condition emanated from General Shafter direct. Lieut. J. H. Pond of the 38d Michigan Vol- unteers was outspoken in condemning Gen- eral Shafter. He said: “The captain reported to General Shaf- ter, when the order came to sail, that he had been lying in the harbor for a month, and suggested that he be allowed to go to Kingston, Jamatca, for supplies, adding that the trip would only consume thirty- six hours and that the results thus at- tained would be of incalculable benefit. He dwelt especially upon the fact that the water supply was putrid. The only answer he r tition was a curt reit to sail Immediately. en then he did not give up, but repeated his remonstrance, asking earnestly to be permitted to go to for fresh water. His request was ed the second time, so there was noth- ing to do but obey orders and go. Shafter’s Refasal. “Perhaps we would all be lying under Cuban soil now if General Shafter had had his w He didn't want to let any of the convalescents go, declaring them to be immune, and insisting that they ought to sta, It was only when one of the army surgeons went to him and assured him that we would ali die if we were not sent ne - consented to let us go, and then. I suppose, he determined that we should go quick. Why, General Duffield himself—he was recovering from the yel- low fever—applied to Shafter personally to be sent north, and Shafter wouldn't listen to him. I believe General Duffield has ap- pealed to Washington. “I was told that the order to send the Concho north came from Shafter direct. He wouldn't listen to the captain's remon- stran but issued a second peremptory er that the boat must start without had the yellow fever myself, and if it hadn't been for the Cuban doctors I would have died. One Cuban doctor is worth all the major generals in the world. The American physicians couldn't stand the pressure, but the Cubans know how to treat the disease, and to their efforts and those of the Red Cross nurses many of the stricken soldiers owe their lives.” Captain Anderson of the 33d Michigan Volunteers said he conditions on the ship were intol- erable and there was absolutely no excuse for them. The blame rests with General Shafter or those who delivered his orders in sending her north under those condi- tions. The Captain Not Blamed. “The Concho had been lying in the har- bor of Siboney since June 1, when she ar- rived from Tampa. She got her supplies of water at Tampa, and those supplies were not replenished at Siboney. When we were put aboad the water was already putrid, utterly unfit for even well men to Grink. The captain explained this fact to General Shafter’s subordinates. He begged for permission to go to Jamaica for fresh food and water before starting north. The subordinates cf General Shafter, I believe, communicated with the commander, but the only answer they received was that the ship was to proceed to New York at once. “When we got to Hampton Roads the captain’ telegraphed Washington for help. He rec ed no answer for more than twenty-four hours and then got an order directing him to put out to sea and bury his dead. The dead were lying on the deck. We went out twenty miles and dropped e dead men into the sea. Then we put to Hampton Reads. There another died. We had to put out to sea again in order to bury him. On the way back another man died and we went out and buried him. Finally, after lying around the reads for two days more, we got a lit- tle fresh milk and fruit, with peremptory orders to get to New York as fast as we could. I do not blame the captain for these things. They were due to the gross mis- management of t! officials at the front. We officers are in a quandary as to what we shall do. We can get no satisfaction from Washington. We are sick and unfit for duty, but we have received no leave to go to our homes. I went down to the Army building today and ‘drew two months’ pay due me, hoping there might be some or- ders for me there, but there were none. I asked Maj. Romeyn, who has gone to Washington, to inquire about my case there and wire me the result.” Capt. G. 8. Young of the 7th United States Infantry, Lieut. L. W. Welch of the 20th United States Infantry and Lieut. R. R Stogsdall of the 4th United States In- faitry, are stopping at the Murray Hill H tel. Capt. Young, in speaking of the Ccncho affair, said: “It would net be proper for me to criticise the management of the Concho. Of course, the coiditions were very bad. There was no fee and the water was abominable. I believe, however, that if the Concho had waited to take on supplies there would have been more deaths. Those who died were very weak when they were brought on board the Concho. I believe that the men who articipated in the battles in and about Santiago should be sent north and their places taken by others detailed for that purpose.” A Death Ship. Lieut. R. R. Stoysdall of the 4th Infantry visited the Army building yesterday. He is recovering from the effects of yellow fever and is still very weak. When asked about his trip, he said: “The condition of the Concho was awful, but the sick were put aboard of her be- cause to leave them in Cuba meant their certain death. And yet fever experts at Santiago said that in their then weak con- dition the men were subject to typhoid, malarial and other fevers, and that their death was in any event almost a foregone conclusion. This being the case, the for- lorn hope of shipping them at once was undertaken. Had it not been for Dr. Les- ser and the Red Cross nurses there would peovany: have been over fifty deaths on card. Of course it was known at Santiago that we were short of medical supplies, but they were short themselves and gave us what they could.” Col. Charles C. Byrne, chief medical offi- cer of the department of the east, and sta- tioned at Governor's Island, said yester- day that he had not received any instruc- tions to investigate the Concho and Alamo affairs, and that whatever investigation there might be would be made from Wash- ington. “IT went through the Concho,” said Col. Byrne, “and found that she was not fitted as a hospital ship. The food on board was not of the kind invalids could eat. I asked Dr. Lesser why he did not get enough sup- plies, and he replied that he could not get them. He said there were plenty down there, but he could not get them. The re- sponsibility for not fitting these ships out properly would rest upon the hospital de- Dartm nt.” Capt. Risk Explains. “We reached Cuba June 1,” said Captain Risk of the Concho, “and the water we had taken aboard at Tampa was pretty rotten even then. After we had landed the troops and lain in that harbor for several days, I asked to be allowed to pull out for King- sto.., Jamaica, to get some good water into the tanks. The stuff we had was making the crew sick. General Shafter refused per: 1ission. “"wo weeks later I made application age n, saying that my crew was suffering for ‘ood and good water. Genera! Shafter again refused to allow the Concho to go to Kingston. “When I received orders to sall with these sick men TI again informed General Shafter of the condition of the ship. I said that the water was rotten and the food Was bad. I asked to be allowed to go by way of Kingston, so we could get water. General Shafter sent me orders to sail di- rect to New York. “I have done my best to help these poor fellows on the way and my crew has given up everything it possessed. Dr. Lesser’s Statement. Dr. A. M. Lesser of the Red Cross, speak- ing of the condition on board the transport, said: “Orders were received to supply the Concho with 1,000 rations for 175 persons, who were ordered on board of her. Major Lagarde and Dr. Ireland went through the camp and selected 175 convalescents and convalescent fever patients who were able to walk. In order to secure a return home the men will frequently affect illness to such a degree that it may be often hard to determine whether one is sick or not. “Medicines were supplied in quantity thought to be sufficient, but on the eve of the departure I found the entire ship's load, excepting possibly twenty-five persons, suf- fering from fever arid bowl troubles, for which there proved to be an insufficient supply of medicines on board the ship. The rations put on board were therefore unfit to be served to the sick men. The supply of water also was impure and unfit for use, having been taken abcard at Tampa early in May. “The Concho has but fifty-eight state- room berths. Bunks were provided for the men between decks, but, being devoid of mattresses and owing to the intense heat, were practically useless. The men could not live below, many being compelled to sleep on deck under awnings.”” Dr. Lesser has submitted a statement re- garding the matter to the president of the Red Cross Society. Se COST OF WAR, $90,000,000. Estimated Government Expenditures on Account of Hostilities. The monthly comparative statement of the government receipts and expenditures shows that during July the receipts amount- ed to $4 , a gain, as compared with July, 1897, of $4.8: The disbursements aggregated rs an increase of a lit- tle more than $24,160,000. The reecipts dur- ing the month from the several sou: revenue are given as follow: $15,160,680, a loss of about $1, nal revenue, $26,170,697, a gain of about $6,400,000; misceilaneo: o—about the same as a year ago. during July on ac ed to about $30,000,000, and to about $90,000,- ooo ce the war began. The montaly statement of the public shows that at the close of business July 30, 1808, the debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to $¥78,081,006, a decrease for the month of $49,004,486. Independent of the cash the statement shows an increase in the debt of $182,159. The cash in the treasury increased during the month by over $49,000,000, principally from receipts on account of the new war loan. The debt is recardtulated as follows: Interest-bearing debt, $847,367,730; debt on which interest has ceased since matur- ity, $1,269,050; debt bearing no interest, $884,207,441; making a total of $1,232,925,221. This amount, however, dees not include $559,497,938 in certificates and treasury notes outstanding, which are offset by an equal amount of cash fn the treasury. The cash in the treasury is classified as follows: Gold, — $225,134 5 ailver, $514,879,965 paper, $00,204,517; bonds, deposits in’ na- tional banks, disbursing officers’ balances, ete., $59,71 total, $90,069,963; against which there are demand liabilities outstand- ing amounting to .748, leaving a net cash balance of 4,215, debt THE ISLAND OF YAP. It Has Been Discussed as a Possible Naval Station. Yap, one of the Caroline Islands, has be- come a place of growing interest to the American people because of its possible use as a naval station by the United States as a result of the present war with Spain. An interesting description of this Istund ts contained in ‘a recent report to the State Department in regard to the Caroline Jal- ands. “Yap,” says this report, “is sur- rounded by a coral reef thirty-five miles long by five broad. There are hardly any rivuiets, but inland are extensive swamps, carefully planted with the water-taro (colo- casia). The island is full of relics of a van- ished civilization—old embankments and terraces, sites of ancient cultivation, stone- paved roads; paes or anclent platforms of stone, faced with huge circular quartz wheels, set up at their sides; enormous council lodges of quaint design, with bold, high and projecting gables, and lofty carven pillars. Walls of ancient fish ponds and stone weirs fill the lagoon between the net and the shore, making navigation a difficult matter. There are some 8,00 na- tives on Yap—kindly, industrious and gen- erally peaceable folk, very dark in color, and speaking a quaint and barbarous dla. lect, much akin to that of the Pclews, yet with a certain family likeness to the isles farther eastward, where the Polynesian in- filtration appears to have been fairly strong. Thé fruits of the soil are as fol- lows: Sweet potatoes, yams, of which there 1s a great variety; taro (lak), mam- mee apples or pawpaws, pineapples, ba- nanas (pao), sugar cane (maquil), bread- fruit (thau), and the tropical almond (Ter- minalia catappa). Copra is largely export- ed, mostly through the German traders, who have spent a vast amount of money and labor here for many years past. A varnish nut (adhidh) grows here, which should give good results. The principal timber tree is the tamanu, fetau or kamant of South Sea Islands, the Callophylium of botanists; the Yap natives Call it ‘vol.’ To- mil Harbor fs the place of the European settlement, the seat of the Spanisn fov- ernor of the western Carolines. ‘There 1s a garrison of some 100 soldiers, with prob- ably some 150 political prisoners, captured in the late Philippine uprising. Tomil would be a good coaling station. Yap is rich in beautiful scenery, the groves of bamboo, croton, cocoanut and areca paim being most Impressive. Huge iguanas are found in the bush, and the nights are bril- Mant with fireflies. (kirrikir), Bird life, however, 1s somewhat scarce, and there are but few cattle and horses on the isl- and.” ———_—_+-o+______ HOBSON MEETS HIS MOTHER. She Shed Tears of Joy When He Reached Her at Lithia Springs. Lieut. Richmond Pearson Hobson, who has been expected in Georgia ever since his arrival in the United States from Santiago, is with his mother at Lithia Springs today. The meeting between mother and son yes- terday was a pathetic one. The son kissed his mother, who threw her arms around his neck, and for several moments rested her head on his shoulder, shedding tears of joy. The crowds stood aside in reverence. As she walked up the lane from the depot to the hotel, leaning on the arm of her boy, her face was aglow. Those two led the way from the-station, and the guests fol- lowed two by two. The hotel parlors were decorated by most beautiful flowers. Flags Were draped over the portieres, and the word “Welcome,” made of green leaves, was spread over the door. A string band furnished music. Lieut. Hobson has not definitely arranged all his plans and does not know just how he will occupy his time prior to leaving for Santiago or just how soon he will return. He thinks now he will go back via Key ‘West. He says now he will be spared a visit to the young lady in the west whom he is reported to marry, as the report is untrue. The lieutenant speaks very modestly of the attentions shown him since he reached here. He appreciates it all, but his manner shows that he rather dislikes notoriety and would rather enjoy more quiet and less popularity. The wife of Governor Atkin- son, one of the most active workers in the Army and Navy League, telephoned Lieu tenant Hobson yesterday that the mem- bers of the league were anxious to give him a reception this afternoon. The lieu- tenant responded, saying he would be most peppy to accept if circumstances permitted ‘The reception, which will be @ public one, will be held at the governor’s mansion at 9:30 o'clock tonight. ——_—__—-.-____ Physician Killed by Chemicals.

OF THE TROUBLE Went to Memphis and Was Put Under Bonds. OBLIGED TO KEEP PEACE Senator Sullivan of Mississippi, who suc ceeded the late Senator Walthall, is in the city. Stories of the difficulties that have arisen between Mr: Sullivan and Editor Ccrally of the Commercial-Appeal, re- sulting in both of them being placed under bond to keep the peace, have been widely published. “The story is not a short one,” said Mr. Sullivan to a Star reporter today, “but I will simply summarize. The Commercial- Appeal has been hostile to me for about two years, On or about April 8 that paper stated In substance that I had absented myself from the memorial services In the Senate of the late Senator George. That statement was knowingly false. Later it stated that I had voted twice in the House and in the Senate in favor of the war tariff measure. That was false, as the éongressional Record will show. “The paper continued to misrepresent me until about July 10, when {t published an article commenting on my having voted in favor of the annexation of Hawaii. It ap- proved the vote, but stated that I voted that way because Senator Money did. That was another falsehood. My position for wore than a year on that subject was well knowr in Mississippi, and for many :nonths here at the Capitol. “Feeling exasperated at the repeated mis- representation, I telegraphed the paper re- garding this last editorial of the Commer- cial-Appeal and asking the name of the author of the Ife about me in the issue of July 10. Instead of answering the telegram or calling me to time for branding him as a I'ar, the editor and author of the article in his issue of the 15th confessed that he was the author and sought to divert attenti frcm this denunciation by referring to oth- er matters, and wound his article up by stating that Mr. Conally would prefer not to express his opinion of me either by tele- graph, iong-distance telephone or in print, and further that ‘Mr. Conally conceived that this matter was one that should be continued at closer range.’ Went to Memphis. “Now, my judgment was, that having characterized his statement as a lie, he was called upon to come to me and seek re- dress. As he did not do it, however, but desired a settlement at ‘close range,’ and as there might be some reason why he could not come, I went to his city, Mem- phis, on Thursday evening, the 2ist. I reg- istered at the Peabody Hotel, within a block and a half of his place of business. A number of his friends saw me register at the hotel, and I immediately walked out upon the street and down by his place of business and remained upon that street in that immediate yicinily for two or three hours. r. e The following day, Friday, I continued to spend the most of my time along that street, in plain yiew of the Commercial- Appeal building. Iriday evening at about 6 o'clock I addressed him this communica- tion: 7 “‘I am and have been at the Peaboay Hotel since 9:40 last ‘hight. I write this note to you because it was stated in an editorial in the Commercial-Appeal, pub- lished on the 15th, instant, written in reply to a private telegram from me, that you were the author of the article about me which was publiséd in the same newspaper on the 10th instant, and which I have branded as a lie in my telegram, and as the paper sald in its closing lines that Mr. Conally would prefer not to express his opinion of me, either by telegram, long- distance telephone or in print; and further, that Mr. Conally conceived that this was a matter that should be continued at clos- er range, I desire to repeat that I am now in the city as a guest of the Peabody Ho- tel, where I have been since last evening, publicly registered, and shall remain here until tomorrow evening at 5 o'clock, My business which detains me here until to- morrow evening will make it necessary for me to be on Main street near the hotel a good deal.’ Warned by Chief of Police. “This note was handed to Mr. Conally by my friend, Mr. Talbert. In about thirty minutes thereafter the chief of police came to my room in the hotel and notified me that I should not have any difficulty, that I should not carry a weapon, that I was then under the surveillance of the authori- ties and should be shadowed every step I went outside of the hotel—that he knew what was going on. No words had been spoken by myself or my friends about the sending of the note. “After that I spent most of my time on the street at the place indicated in my note. At 1:30 o'clock a.m. the 23d I received in my room by the hand of the bell boy of the hotel the following note: “W. B. Sullivan, City. ‘Sir—By the hand of Mr. Walter Talbert was delivered to me in front of my office about 7 p.m. your communication bearing date July 22, In which you announce your arrival in the city. You also refer to the editorial written by me in which I publish- ed certain facts concerning a conversation had with you, and on which, for reasons stated, I refrained from drawing any con- clusion. Now that our relative geograph- ical positions are very propitious I desire to state with emphasis my firm conviction that there is but one logical interpretation of the editorial possible, and that the con- clusions so obviously suggested are my sentiments. M. W. CONALLY.’ “It will be observed that I had simply de- nounced as a lie the statement in the edi- torial of the 10th instant. That statement had no reference to any conversation, but simply to his statement that I had voted for annexation because Senator Money did. After the receipt of the note from Mr. Conally I remained at ‘close range’ during the following day, Saturday, being almost all the time upon the street between the hotel and the Commercial-Appeal office. Arrested by a Detail of Police. “ghortly after 8 o'clock p.m, I returned to my room to prepare for my departure home, when a detail of police, seven in number, placed me under arrest. Shortly thereafter I learned that he was also under arrest and that “the vice mayor of the city had sworn out proceedings to require us to keep the peace. Itook/a carriage and went with the officer. Res@ing the proof and finding nothing im itoin my judgment to justify a binding:over, I said nothing, and I did not think any bond would be required. Mr. Conally, howewerj-made a statement to the effect that he did not approve of a street fight whichnwould endanger the lives of women and childfen, and stated that he did not propose to;put-himself in a position to be assassinated by ‘imported or do- mestic bums.’ There qwere other things in that same connettionisaid by him, but I have not at present the statement before me. They are immaterial, however, to the question, as at that time he and I were surrounded by some twenty to forty offi- cers and actually in court under arrest, where it was evident to every one that no difficulty would he ‘permitted, and peace bonds were required before either was per- mitted to leave the court room. It may be @ magnificent show of courage to make statements when-one {s surrounded by offi- |_ cers of the law. I did not think proper to india in that kind of thing. I felt that I repeatedly denounced him as a liar, and had put myself at ‘close range,’ where he might resent it if he saw proper, and Tight him an ample opportunity to do so for two days and nights, and he did not avail himself of the opportunity. I had business ane me to this eity at once,” concluded Mr. Sullivan. “What will be done now?” Mr, Sullivan was asked. “I have no {dea,” he replied. “The onus is on him, not on me. I do not conceive there is anything for me to do.” Love prefers its own illusions to the most perfect reality.—Life. Ss aS sagas are tinmie VesEIne tor clothes. SCHLEY WRITES HIS COUSIN. He Says the Santiago Victory Was Large Enough for All. Shortly after the great naval victory off Santiago, in which Cetvera’s fleet wes pur- sued and destroyed by the American ves- sels of war, under Commodore Schley, Capt. John Schley of Indianapolis, Ind., cousin of the commodore, wrote a letter of congratulation for the victory won. Yes- terday he received a reply, which, in part, is as follows: “FLAGSHIP BROOKLYN, “Off Santiago de Cuba, July 22, 1898. “My Dear John: The victory of July 3, so complete in results and so rich in glory for our country, was tne joint product of every one fortunate enough to be engaged, end I ought, rather, to thank you, in their name than to appropriate the congratula- tions to myself. “Surely it was large enough to win lau- rels for all, and I assume no other pride in it than the lucky place of this ship in the line was where the first heavy assault Was made, and afterward by the speed and her direction ‘to keep in the scrap’ the fin- ish, which occurred three and one-half hours from the beginning. * * * “The sweetest thought and the greatest satisfaction comes from the fact that our conduct that day has won the peopte’s love and earned the nation's admiration. It is this which encourages us in the public de- fense, no matter at what risk to ourselves.

GUANTANAMO, Province of Santiago de Cuba, July 2 commodore Schley today sat down in his cabin on the Brooklyn at a table filled with over 1,200 letters received in the last two months. They were from every part of the country, and from all classes of pecph nators, representatives, state icg.slators, governors, common coun- s and private citizens in every walk of There were bundles of poens and thousands of newspaper clippings. There were requests for autographs, for coat but- tons, cap ribbons, or almost any kind of souvenir that the commodore might care to give. There were pieces of music dedicated to the commodore, advertisements with his picture in them, letters from societi named after him, and, finally, an engrossed set of resoiutions from his native town in Maryland. The commodore threw up his hands with a gesture of despair, but said: “Yes, 1 am going to try to answer them all, if it’s only a very brief line,” and he in a while, anffd the dictation, he found a letter from some “crank” warning him of mines and other dangers. To the writers asking for souvenirs he answered that his coat did not have enough buttons to go around, and that he did not wish to appear partial. While answering these letters Commo- dore Schley was apprised of the new di- vision of the squadrons, and the fact that he would have to change flagships, as the Brooklyn was assigned to foreign duty. It is probable that his flag will fly from the Harvard, as he intends asking for that ship. —eEe CAVALRY TO COME NORTH. Wheeler's Men to Go First to Montauk Point. An experimental movement of troops is to be made within a few days from Santiago to Montauk Point, L. I. As soon as the necessary transportation can be arranged the men, a part of General Wheeler's di- vision of cavalry, now at Santiago, will be brought back to the United States. They will go into camp at Montauk Point, and will be kept there probably for some time. In the healthful and invigorating climate at Montauk the men are expected rapidly to recuperate from the results of their hardships in Cuba. ‘The troops that are to be brought back at this time have not been exposed to the fever infection, and, thus far, have suf- fered little from sickness. If the experi- ment should prove successful and should the troops improve rapidly in condition, other parts of General Shafter’s ‘corps will be brought very soon to Montauk Point. As soon as a Sufficient number of the im- mune forces can be sent to Santiago to properly garrison the city, General Shafter’s men will be moved back into the hills, where the sanitary conditions are much better than they are about Santiago. This movement will be preliminary to their re- turn to the United States, where they can secure suitable rest after the arduous cam- paign in Cuba. In addition Gen. to the 1st and 24 Immune Regiments, which have been sent to Santia- go as a garrison force for the city, the 3d and 6th Immunes have also been ordered to Santiago. As soon as transportation can be arranged for them they will sail from Savannah, Ga. It is not unlikely that at least one other regiment will be sent to Cuba at the same time, but the designation of the regiment has not yet been made. a Germany's Acknowledgment, Ambassador White at Beyjin has cabled the Secretary of State as Mhllows: “I am requested to tender the sincere thanks of the emperor and the German people to the President and people of the United States for the message of condo}l- ence referring to the death vf Prince Bis- marek.” ————— AUCTION SALES OF KEAL ESTATE, &c.
