Report of Capt. Muason to the Sur- Beon General of the Army. The following report concerning the op- erations of the medical department of the army at Santiago has been received by Surgeon General Sternberg: To the Surgeon General, United Army, Washington, D. C.: Sir: In view of the recent charges made affecting the efficiency of the army medi- cal department at Santiago, and especially with reference to the conditions prevall- ing on the hospital transports sent north with wounded, I have the honor to submit the followirg facts, betteving that my po- sition as adjutant to the ehief surgeon, 5th Army Corps, and as the officer in charge of the outfitting of the hospital transports Iroquois, Cherokee and Break- water, may possibly give value to such re- pert. Drugs, medicines, dressings, instruments, hospital tentage and supplies were loaded on the transports at Tampa in quantities sufficient to meet the needs of the San States di- ago expedition. These supplies were vided up on the various vessels, each or- garization having its own equipment. While the bulk of the supplies was with the organized hospitals, the regimental equipment was largely in excess of its needs and was intended to be called in to supplement, if necessary, the equipment of these hospitals. The landing on Cuban soil mate as rapidly as possible, each organization ac- ccmpanied by the medical attendance as- signed to it, and troops were pushed for- ward with no other equipment and supplies than could be carried by the soldiers. Hav- ing no means of trensportation for e their field chests the regimental medic officers had absolutely no resources at their command except such as were provided by the orderly and hospital corps pouches and the firs packets carried by the sol- diers. Having once left their ships the latter were promptly ordere out of t small bays at Siboney and Daiquiri to_per- mit the unloading of other ships. These partially unlozded ships, in obedience to their orders, then proceeded to sea fre five to fifteen mi where they remz hove to indefinite Such orde: given the transports carrying the Reserve and the Ist Divisional hospitals. The one carrying the reserve hospital, in obe to its ord proceeded to join the blockading Squadron off Morro Cast where it remained five days and nights; t other transport disappeared, if I was cor- rectly informed, for an entire week. Couldn't Get a Launch, During this time the fight at Gua’ kad occurred and large numbers of sick and wounded w requiring treatm it. In the meantime a report of the conditicr prevailing on shore was made to the chic surgeon, who promptly laid the cd fore the commanding general; requ that a launch be placed under co the medical Cepartment for the col of medical supplies from the v transports. It w: pack train be orgarize of cne p: transport supplies, to the fr uggested for the performa: -xigency of the situation did appeal to the commané general,-and for two days the medical de- partment was unable to get transpor tion of any kind to the other ships large em- although there were a pember of 1 Isunches and boats ployed cn various other duties. On the third day, by order of the adjutant gen- eral, one rowboat was turned over to the medical department for the purposes abov ramed, and at the same time an order was issued for land transportation to carry iseuical supplies to the front, “not to e: ceed one six-mule tes On getting ir this boat with supp’ from the head- quarters transport I was directed by sux dry staff officers to take them on various errand: On my refusal to recognize the authority the commanding general, had appeared on the scene, personally voked the previous order and directed the landing of supplies already in the b that it should return without 4 senting the order for land transpot the shore, who to the quartermaster on shore I forme-l that only pact had been landed: that nei’ ons nor ress had been brought finally , and that the road was impassable for w Oiivette Finally Obtained. After this boat had been taken aw chief surgeon was without any ccmmunication with the medical off n: shore or still in transports, of finding ow their wants or of remedying the many ai- ready known to exist. onuition of things remained uy after the fight at Las Guasima. at whic time there were absolutely no dressings hospital tentage or supplies of any kind within reach of the surgeons already The news of the Guasima fight being reported to the chief surgeon, he was finally able to get on board the Ol- vette and send her to Siboney, where she received the wounded. Within’ the follow ing day or so the transports carrying th ve Re nd Ist Divisional hospitals were found and unloaded of their ho: tent3, the latter hospital finally obtain limited tr: ation to the front. Afte a couple ys’ duty on board the Ol vette I was directed to put the Iroquois in ion to receive patients and to take the ‘full capacity of the ship on board. While doing this I was able to ashore considerable hospital tentage and suppties found abasrd of her, and, having control of her boats. I was able to visit other transports in the harbor and land medical supplies from them. While subsequently outfitting the Chero- kee and Breakwater this work was con- tinued as well as opportunity and limited facilities permitted, getting supplies from perhaps a third of the transports compos- ing the fleet. Medical Supplies on Bonra. Outside of this it is believed that no other regimental medical property was ever unloaded up to the time of my departure with wounded on July 10. Appealing on several occasions for the use of a lighter or small steamer to collect and land medical supplies I was informed by the quarter- master’s department that they could ren- der no assistance in that way, and the medical department was compelled to rely entirely upon its energies and improvise its own transportation. I feel justified in saying that at the time of my departure large quantities of medical supplies urgent- ly needed on shore still remained on trans- ports, a number of which were under or- ders to return to the United States. Had the medical department carried along dou- ble the amount of supplies it is difficult to see how, with the totally inadequate land and water transportation provided by the Tod: Thomas J.

The outfitting of transports for the re- ception of sick and wounded is a duty de- manding thought and experience, an@ should never be intrusted to any one ex- cept a regular medical officer. It includes the proper policing of the Portions of the ship to be used by the wounded, the remov- al of bunks and partitions to give space and air, the utilization of the ship's blan- kets, doormats, rugs ami carpets to ren- der the bunks more comfortable, the secur- ing of extra supplies, such as canned soups and fruits, lime juice and oatmeal, the es- tablishment of a mess and laundry, assign- ment of convalescents to specific light du- ties which materially relieve the over= worked hospital corps Resistance to Orders. Usually it is necessary to overcome pas- sive resistance and opposition on the part of the crews and a tendency on the part of the captains to disregard or modify or- ders. In several instances in my own expe- rience this action of the crew amounted almost to mutiny and was only to be dealt with by threats, a show of force, an in one instance, by the use of the irons.

It says: “In connection with my telegram of the 3¢ instant and the letter of the general offi- cers to me of same date, I have the honor to say that since then I have talked with the division commanders and they join me in saying that the first report was made so strong because of the weakened and ex- hausted condition of the command, more than 75 per cent of which have been ill with a very weakening malarial fever lastiag from four to six days, and which leaves every man too much broken down to be of any service and in no condition to with- stand an epidemic of yellow fever. For strong and healthy regiments coming here now and a little later with plenty of tent- age to cover them and not subject to any hardships and with plenty of nourishing food the danger, in my opinion and that of the division commanders, would be reduced te a minimum. —__——_+ 0 +—_______ DEATHS AT THE FRONT.
