Mr. Kennan’s Statement. ‘T» the Editor of The Evening Star: Inasmuch as “Fair Play” thinks I misun- derstood Gorge Kennan’s meaning in the Outlook of July 30, let me quote more fully from that article: “The resources and supplies of the hospi- tal, outside of instruments, operating ta- bles and medicines, were very limited. ‘Theregwas tent shelter for only about one hundred wounded men; there were no cots, hammocks, mattress2s, rubber blankets or piilows for sick or injured soldiers; the sup- ply of woolen army blankets was very short and was soon exhausted, and there was no clothing at all except two or three dozen shirts. In the form of hospital food for sick or wounded men th2re was nothing ex- cept a few jars of beef extract, malted milk, ete., bought in the United States by Major Wood, brought here in his own private beggage, and held in reserva for desperate cases. “Such was the equipment of the only field hospital in Cuba at the attack on Santiago. That it was wretchedly incomplete and in- adequate I hardly need say, but th> respon- sibility for the incompleteness and inade- gvacy cannot be laid upon the field force. * The small force of field surgeons d heroically and with a devotion that I nave never seen surpassed; but they were completely overwhelmed by the great bloody wave of human agony that rollzd back in ever-increasing yolume from the battle line. * * * At midnight Saturday the number of wounded men that had been brought into the hospital camp was about 800. * * * The force of surgeons and hospital stewards immodiately available was altogether too small to attend properly to the great num- ber of wounded thrown suddenly upon their bands, and no men could be Spared to look after the wretched and suffering soldiers in the grass whose wounds had b2en treated. when there were a hundred more who had not even been looked at in twenty-four hours, and who were lying in a long, close- ly packed row on th2 ground awaiting their turns at the operating tables. * * * In- stead of the force of five surgeons and about twenty stewards and attendants with which the hospital began work on Friday, there should have been a fore? of fifty sur- gecns and at least two hundred stewards, attendants and stretcher-bearers, so that they might have been divided into two j watch?s, or reliefs, working and resting al- ternately. As it was on Friday, five sur- Zeons and twenty attendants had to take care of the wounded from three whole di- visions. They were reinforced by five mor surgeons and perhaps twenty more attend- ants Friday evening, but even this force was so insufficient and inadequate that at midnight on Saturday on> of the highest medical officers in the camp said to me, ‘This department Is in a state of complete collapse.’ ” As to “Fair Play” endeavoring to make it appear that I wanted the medical de- partment to s2t up a hospital among the Spaniards before our troops arrived, that is amusing. Manifestly all that was suggest- ed was that the medical department ought | to have landed sufficient mer and supplies with the troops—a week b2fore the Santiago fighting. And as to my misquoting the sur- geon general of the army in regard to the Red Cross at the front, I quoted exactly from the published interview, which I have never seen denied. NOT A MEMBER OF THE RED CROSS. August 12, 1898. ——_—_ WHAT HE HEARD. The Sentence Will Be Made Clear to This Prisoner. Charles Campbell, a South Washington colored man, wearing a shirt that had never been in water, with his sleeves rolled to his shoulders, appeared in the toils of Judge Taylor's court this morning to an- swer a charge of vagrancy, and his indig- nant response was, “I ain't guilty.” Bicycle Policeman Headly, who made the arrest last night, stated his complaint. “Campbell's fault is intemperance,” the officer said. ‘When he gets drunk he stands on street corners and indulges in profanity. He curses everybody in general and nobody in particular.” “What was his condition last night when you arrested him?” Judge Taylor inquired. “He was in the condition I have just stated.”” camone made a statement in his own “I works evedy day I can,” he sald, “but, of course, I ti a drink just the same as other people.” “When did you get out of the work- THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Home Wedding of Miss Tabler and Mr. Country Party at Ardwick—Recent Comings and Goings of Washingtonians.

Hamburg’s death rate of typhoid is but five or nine out of every 100,000 population. And so unless boiied or filtered water is used in our camps there should be no surprise manifested by the appearance of typhola. There is scarcely a town in the United States whose mortuary reports fail to disclose victims of typhoid. | All over Virginia it claims a fair percen- | tage of those who persist in the belief that | well water is pure because it sparkles and is clear and cool. Ten years ago while at Atlanta, Ga., I met an acquaintance who was nursing a family of three—a fourth member had already been carried off by the disease. These people were using well water. I recommended boiling it. That was done, and all three began to improve on the second day, and their recovery was uninterrupted by a single setback. Milk should not be used by soldiers un- less they get it direct from the cow. Must milkmen will water their milk, and the wa-- ter some of them use is likely to contain germs of the fever. I know a gentleman who lived on the Isthmus of Panama (employed by the canal company) for three years without contract. ing fever—a very remarkable thing.’ The secret of it is that he used water imported from the United States.
