yee, a 2 Another tof $15 Suits #2 $5. As impossible as it may sound—as often as you have been de- cived by other clothiers by the same statement—we are going to sell tomorrow another lot of one hundred men’s suits, which were made to. sell for $15, and of which thousands have been sold for $15—for five dollars the suit. We did it last week, and those of you who were far-sighted enough to respond to our announce- ment got values they never got before. : This lot of suits is made of all-wool cheviots, in Scotch mix- tures and fancy effects. They are as desirable in every way— made up, just as well—the patterns are just as desirable as those which sold for $15. Taking them all in all, they are fine, high- grade garments; made with wide French facings, some with satin- piped inner seams; some have skeleton linings and some are half- lined -and some are lined throughout. They are by far the greatest values we have ever put before you, and we offer you the privilege of having them “charged”— and of paying for them as best suits your convenience. * linen & crash suits, Crash pants, 48c. $ ; = We shall pnt on sale tomorrow a lot of $2 men's striped crash pants end we shall +4 but a price of 48e. on them whic makes imag wicks Haw them the greatest value yet «fered.

EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1898-12 PAGES. DEFENDS THE SERVICE Dr. Donaldson Tells About the Hos- pitals at Siboney. CHARGES OF THE RED CROSS SOCIETY Treatment of Patients in the Yel- low Fever Camp. WORK OF THE SHIP RELIEF Dr. Frank Donaldson, acting assistant surgeon, U. 8. V., attached to the medical staff of Colonel Roosevelt's rough riders, is in the city. Dr. Donaldson had yellow feveg while in Cuba, and saw a great deal of hospital ‘work there during his service. “There have been so many misleading statements about thé condition of things in and around Siboney and Santiago,” said Dr. Donaldson to a Star reporter today, “so much outrageous and false criticism of General Sternberg and the medical depart- ment of the army, so much said by ignor- ant and self seeing people that 1 feel called upon to plainly tell the truth in re- gard to some of these matters. In making these statemegts I have in mind especially the Red Cross Society and reports that have been set afloat by officials connected with it. 2 “As an instance of gross misstatement we will take. the positive assertion of Miss Clara Barton upon her arrival in New York a week or ten days ago that the fever from which the troops were suffering in Cuba was not yellow fever. When Clara Barton made that statement she must have known that the diagnosis. in practically every case, had been made on tne authority of no less distinguished experts than Dr. John Guiteras, Dr. Parker, Dr. LaGarde, Dr. Echeverria, an extremely well known Cuban physician and an expert in the treat- ment of this disease, and Dr. Gorgas, who is equally well known in this connection. “It seems incredible that Miss Barton was also unaware of the fact that her chief surgeon, Dr. Lesser, his wife and three out of four nurses, were sick with yellow fever at Siboney, at the very time to which she referred. I had the misfortune to be in the hospital with this section of the Red Cross. Work of the Red Cross. “We have heard a great deal in the news- papers of the magnificent work done by the handful of Red Cross nurses in and about Siboney, and always placed in a juxtaposition by Miss Barton to the ‘misera- ble work done by the army surgeons.’ Dr. Lesser did perform a number of opera- tions, but the most distinguished surgeon today attached to the volunteer service, said, on examining the operaticns which he performed on some Spaniards, that he sin- cerely hoped Dr, Lesser did not operate on the American soldiers. The Red Cross did have something they called a hospital at Siboney and, by way of emphasizing the knowledge of yellow fever claimed by the chief surgeon and his assistants, they placed this hospital, as J had occasion to say in the Philadelphia Medical Journal, in a beautiful vine-clad Cuban home. I asked the chief surgeon why he established a hos- pital in any house at Siboney, for it must have been plain to the veriest tyro that the as well as the houses, was a nest low fever infection. He replied that he was told that the house was not in- fected. The best answer to that was that { his noble and jays in the yellow fever hospital. - = “The Red Cross unquestionably did ex- cellent work in distributing food to the soldiers, sick and well, and J have person- ally to thank Miss Barton for liberal sup- plies given me when seriously needed tor our regiment. Had they but limited them- selves to the distribution of food all might have been well. Their attacks on the sur- neral and medical department are as undeserved as many of them are unture. So much for this disagreeable part of Symptoms of Yellow Fever. “Fortunately the yellow fever In Cuba was very mild in form. This is not sur- prising, for early cases in most all yellow fever epidemics are of this type. The symptoms of many hundreds of cas which I saw left no doubt as to the cor- rectness of the diagnosis. As a rule the fever was ushered in with a slight chill followed by a gradually increasing fever, which lasted for about thirty hours. Then came a remittence, the patient for a period of ten hours feeling about as well as ever. Toward the evening of that day the fever came on again, the face became violently suffused with distinctly marked yellowish and as the fever grew higher the became less frequent, this being an unfailing sign of yellow fever. As a rule albuminuria was present. To these symp- toms must be added the horrible bh and pains in the back and mus with the fever and low pulse, continued until the seventh or elghth day, though in many cases, of course, the temperature did not become normal until the twelfth or fourteenth day. In many cases in our ho: pital there was a great deal of vomitin: though black vomit and the collapse fol- lowing was infrequent. This, I am inclined to believe, was jargely owing to the mag- rificent treatment of our good Cuban doc- tor, Escheverria. The death rate at our hospital, in the mountains about a mile and a half from Siboney, at the time of my departu! s less than 7 per cent. “Tt is a great mistake to think even mild yellow fever is to be regarded lightly. In almdst every case there was a complete physical collapse and great mental depi was, Th indee weakness of the convalescent . painful to witness. This ma: ed when I tell you that th ss of weight among fifteen ottt- under my care from Yampa to Ne amounted to a of the regul: all of the s I saw a more intense malaria infection added to omfert and greatly delayed the re- covery of the sick. Treatment of the Sick. should like to say that nothing could have been better than the arrangement of the yellow fever camp nor kinder or more efficient than the treatment received by the patients. One does not need a‘better proof that the miserable condition of the hospital and.transportation facilities for the wound- ed was in no sense due to lack of thought and provision on the part of the surgeon general than the fact that as soon as the supplies were landed such a really perfect sick bay was put in operation as that of the yellow fever ca. under the direction ot Dr. George McCreery of the regular army. “Why on earth the medical department should be blamed for the failure to land the magnificent Outfit for the hospital with the ambulances, medicines and surgical ap- pllances is beyénd comprehension. ‘Take, for instance, the ambulance and hospital outfit which Dr. La Garde, whose noble services at Siboney cannot be exaggerated, arranged ready in perfect working order before he left Tampa. Instead of being put on one transport, from which it could have been promptly landed, this outfit was placed upon heaven knows how many dif- ferent boats. That needs no further com- ment. Dr. H. D. Geddings of the marine hospital service, who took such splendid care of us at Egmont Key, will bear me out in this statement. “There has been a good deal of criticism utterly unmerited regarding tne surgical and medical side of the hospital ship Relief. I know that she fulfilled, under the able direction of Dr. George H. Forney, to the utmost the purpose for which she was de_ signed. The Relief was unfortunate in-not having a merchant quartermaster to load her stores,-and hence it was that very much delay that could be attributed to a lack of lighters was occasioned. «his was increased through the fault of an official in a department in Washington.” +04 Teacher—“I hear your mother has scariet fever, You must not come to school till she is well, as you might get the disease and give it to the other children.” Tommy—“Oh, you needn't worry, teacher, She is my stepmother, and has never yet given me anything.” —Fi Biaatter. oe eee meee eee, : Parker 1 $1.00 sold for $2.50, $3.00 and $3.50. : At this price you may pick tomofrow only from about 150 Suits, in Novelty, Reefer and Double-breasted styles, sizes 3 to 16 years, eS e . . ° . . . . . . . . . . y 3 ° . . . . ° . . . . . . . . . . ° . . . . . ° . 3 made of fancy: cheviots. and ° fancy cassimeres mainly. : These garments‘were newly : “made for this season’s sell- < ing, and combine all the ° essential points governing the make up of good, first- class clothing.

I stepped over her once in going down stairs to the street, and wondered what calamity of “war ha reduced a woman to the necessity of sleep- ing in such a place and in circumstances of such hardship and privation. I was just discussing with Dr. Hubbell the possibility of getting the United States Signal Corps man in the telegraph office to signal our steamer for a boat, regardless of the high surf, when the long white figure on the floor rose, with an unmistakably masculine grunt, and remarked, with a slight Eng- lish accent, that he did not think there any possibility of getting off to a ship in a small boat, inasmuch as he had been try- ing for twenty-four hours to get on board of his own vessel and had not succeeded yet. The figure proved to be that of Lord Alfred Paget, naval observer for the Brit- ish government, and what I had taken in the darkness for the white gown of a wo- man was his white duck uniform. After discussing the situation for a few moments, and declaring discontentedly that our engineer corps had had time enough to build six piers and yet had not finished one, he lay down on the floor again, without blanket, pillow or overcoat, rested his head on the ‘sill of the disused door, and ap- parently went to sleep, while I debated in my mind the question whether I had better __ Carlsbad China Dinner Service, extra quality, very light and transparent, like glass; gold-traced; two decor- ations.

The difficulty of landing supplies on this exposed &n& surf-beaten coast might have been anticipated, it seems to me, and provided for.

Among such things are large tents, rubber blankets, camp kettles and large cooking utensils generally. “What's the use of telling us to drink only boiled water,” said an officer of the 7th Infantry to me, “when we haven't any- thing bigger than a coffee cup or an old to can to boil it in or to keep it in after it has been boiled? They tell us ———.9-—- ~ a Smells That Hurt. From Pearson's Weekly, 1 ¢ Some smells are dangérous. A single sniff of highly concentrated prussic acid will kill a man as qufékfy usa shot through the heart. 2 or ‘The odor of a bad tgg 1¥ due to the pres- ence of sulphuretted hydrdgen, and the ob- jectionable perfumes of ‘sewer and bone factories are attributable chiefly to the ame gas. o ae Chemical laboratories are famous for bad smells. Berzelius, who discovered the ele- ment called “selenlum,” once tried the ex- periment of permitting a bubble of pure hy- drogen selenide gas to enter his nostril. For days afterward he was not able to smell strong ammonia, the olfactory nerves being temporarily paralyzed. s Selenium gas has the odor of putrid horseradish. Tellurium is even worse. There is a story of a physician, whose pa~ tient, a lady, refused to take an absolutely necessary rest because she was so fond of being always on the go in society. He gave her a pill contaming a small quantity of tellerium, and her breath was affected by it to such an extent that she was not able to appear in public for a month. She never guesse@ what the trouble was. The volatized essential oil of roses Is supposed to cause “rose cold.” This pecullar complaint is so. far nervous in its character that paper roses impregnated with the oil sometimes excite the trouble. that we must sleep in hammocks, not get wet if we can help {t and change our under- clothes whenever we do get wet. That's all very well, but there isn't a hammock my company. I haven't any rubber blanket or spare underclothes my: and I don’t believe any of my soldiers ‘have. ‘They made us leave everything that we could possibly dispense with at Tampa, aml then, when we got here, they didn’t Jand and send with us even the indispensable things that we had on the transports.” The complaint of the officer was a perfectly just one, and I have heard many more like it. Had Never Seen a Negro. From Leslie's Weekly. Several years ago I went up in the moun- tains to -he town of G—, which was et that time sixty miles from the railroad. There were two good merchants doing an immense business there, and I could not afford to miss their trade, if they did use “ginsang”’ as legal tender. ‘Therg was then no colored man or woman living fn that county, and many of the peo- ple had never seen a negro. The day I went up there happened to be “court day,” and the little town was full of men, women, children, dogs, guns and corn whisky. They were drinking, dancing in the streets, and having a jolly time generally. When I drove in and stopped before one of the stores my driver, who chanced to be very swarmed gazed in wonder at him. ‘They advised him to “Go wash that black off bis face,” “To take off that false face,” ete., and one woman said to another, while walking around him, “I have often’ heerd tell of ‘em, but this is the first one I ever seed.” Soon the crowd became very fa- | millar with the poor fellow; first they kick- ed him, then began firing their pistols and hitting the ground close to his feet. They seemed to think it great fun to make him dance. They treated him so roughly that the merchant advised me to get him away from them and hide him, or he said they would kil him just for the fun of the thing. I finally succeeded in getting him smuggied into the merchant's kitchen, where he was glad to stay until next morn- ing. I made good sales and left before daylight the next morning, and can honestly say I have never had a driver, either before or since, make such good time as that one did the first ten miles away from that town. Tt is needless to say I was never able to get the same driver for any subsequent trips, although the country through that region is now very muchdimproved.
