ARE NOT YEP IN FIRST-CLASS HEALTH Good Work Being Done by the New Hired Cooks. COMMISSARIAT SUPPLIED Staff Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP WIKOFF, Montauk Point, N. ¥., September 2, 1898. ‘Th District regiment is one happy faml- ly again, happy in being visited and happy in the realization that it will be some one week from today. Since the Ist Battalion joined the 2d and 3d yesterday the r:gu- lar regimental camp has moved along as regularly as clock work. Maj. O’Brien was able to turn a model camp over to Col. Harries when that officer came in from the detention camp with th> Ist Battalion. The regular routine with its duties and calls gces on. The men in camp are not suffer- ing in any particular. They are getting plenty to eat, are gaining in flzsh, and while many of them have a yellow look abcut the face, still it is rapidly disap- pearing. They are homesick; homesick clear down to their boots. They will allow that this is a good, healthy place to stay and recup2rate, but their main thought, wish and longing, is for a sight of the Capitol dome and the dear ones at home. It would have been a cruel kindness to keep the regiment here for any great length of time. The other morning, at first roll call, the captain of each company asked those of the men who wanted to go home at onc: to step forward, and in every case the entire company stepped forward as one man. Work of the New Cooks. Eight cooks sent on by Maj. Neumeyer, The Star’s commissioner, came on from New York yesterday and went to work on supper. They are going to be of great as- sistance, the cooking being done in a new way. The company cooks understand the han- dling of army rations all right, but the pro- fessionals are throwing in little extra kinks that will do much to tempt the ap- petites of the weak. Th commissariat is well supplied. Every morning Lieutenant Griffiths, who is looking after the commissary, is in the saddle with the sun, looking for fresh sup- plies. Some seven hundrsd pounds of fresh meat are drawn each day, besides eggs, milk and vegetables. Licutenant Griffiths is a hustler, and in getting stuff for his reg- iment is a pirat2. This morning the men were given fresh meat, eggs, oatmeal. pota- toes and coffee. As a matter of fact, talks with the men bring out the fact that there have be2n but four or five days since they left Washington that the regiment has-ac- tually been without plenty of food. Some- times the food has not been just what the men n2eded or wanted, but there was al- Ways something on hand except on a few days in the trenches at Santiago, when pro- visions were as scarce as the proverbial snow ball. Health of the Regiment. It must not be understcod that the men in the regiment are in first-class health, be- cause they are not. The systems of nearly all are affected by fever ond chills. It will be a n.atter of a considerable time before the boys lose all souvenirs of Santiago. This morning at sick call, for instance, eighty or ninety patients reported and were treated by Surgeons Pyles and Cox. Two men of Company G, Privates Chase and Bethune, will be sent to th> general hos- pital today. They are not seriously ill, but need better care than can be given in camp. One serious trouble here is g2tting hold of embulances to take men to the hospital. The surgeons send hurry calls for ambu- lances, but the. ambulances never come. They ar2 too busily engaged in carrying visitors over the camp. Captain Jacobs of Company M, who has been absent on sick leave since the regi- ment left Tampa, rejoined the regiment last night. He was detailed on quartermas- ter work, his first duty today being the com- mencement of a stern search for the instru- ments belonging to the band, which were shipped to Tampa and have been lost ever since. In the meantime the band has been doing the best it could with any old thing for instruments. At guard mount this morn- ing it managed to get a good deal of music out of these pizces. The following men were sent to Monroe Hospital today, none of them seriously i1l: Thomas C. Maddox and Wm. H. Prender of Company B and Chas. W. Brown of Com- pany F. This morning, for the first time for many weeks, at guard mount there was a@ march in review, with the band, which shows that the men are getting in shape. * Hospital Records Defective. There are today men in the regi- ment who are marked sick. Of this number 120 are in camp and are not in bad shape. suffering only with the remnants of chills and fevers; 156 men have been sent to the general hospital. These men are scattered in forty tents, among 2,000 patients, and so far as any name is concerned the lists in- clude five or six thousand names. It is also impossible to get any statement of the condition of the hospital patients. A very large number of them have been fur- loughed direct from the hospital and taken heme. Company officers are trying to get to the men in hospital in order to get the pay rolls signed. The difficulty can be seen from the one instance of a single company that has fourtecn men in hospital. Yes- terday, in spite of an earnest ‘earch, only six could be found. It has been a great hardship to the men not receiving any pay. Corporal George Shilling ig one of the very sick men in hospital. The Reximent's Sick. The number of more or !ess sick reported by companies is as follows: A, 11; B, 21; C, 14; D, 16; E, 18; F, 19; G, 14; I, 16; K, 17; L, 27; M, 29; band, 3. There is little doubt that many of the men have had true yel- low fever in a mild form. The regiment has been fortunate, due more to the ex- cellence of its officers than to good luck. The people of Washington have cause to feel proud of its regiment. It has main- tained its discipline throughout, and to- day, when nearly every volunteer regiment is practically disorganized, the District camp 1s in perfect condition. Colonel Harries was well enough today to ride to headquarters. A Michigan regiment which has been camped with the District of Columbia regi- ment left today for home, making more tents available for the boys. Granted Fdrloughs, The following were granted furloughs to- day: Edmund B. Burke, Company C; B. F. Mooney, Company K; Joseph W. D. Creigh, Company C; Wm. N. Mooney, Company K. Private C. B. Brown, who was reported sick, is all right. The regimental pay rolls are being signed and the men will probably be paid by Mon- day. General Wheeler is still in command here. This morning he has been going over the sanitary conditions with his officers, The camp is being put in fyge shape for the President's visit. MOM. NOYES. Deprived of O¥ércgnts. To the Editor of The Evening Star, The instance of the quafterniaster captain who refused to issue overcoats to the boys of the ist Battalion, Dfstrict’ Volunteers, on their landing at Camp Wikeff is but ons in addition to the hundreds that have al- ready occurred all along“the tne from the beginning, the cause of. the'death of so many who have had toSuccttmb and the present heartrénding condittonof those who have managed to survive! thu# far. Through the kirdly foréthought of Major Parmenter these overcoats were hurriedly forwarded to Camp Wikoff. some time ago, to be immediately available as soon as the boys landed. Then by what right or au- thority did this inhuman official refuse to deliver them when the cccasion for their use had arrived and he was called upon to do so, thereby no doubt laying the founda- tion for future suffering and possibl: death from pneumonia, consumption and kindred diseases, which the boys, in their depleted condition, are so liable to contract? While the relatives and friends of the members of the 1st District of Columbia Volunteer Regiment are doing all in their power to alleviate the sufferings of their dear ones and make them forget the hard- ships through ‘which they hav2 gone, this quartermaster captain referred to, and oth- ers of just about the same mental caliber, are obstructing their efforts and doing ali they can to prevent the carrying out of thes2 humanitarian plans. There may be some reason for more or less of the suffering—less, if anything, how- ever—while the regiment was in Cuba, but there Is no 2arthly reason why such sense- less conduct on the part of those who were appointed to look after the interests and welfare of the boys should be tolerated after thir arrival in the United Etate —— THE STAR'S RELIEF FUND. It is Being Used to Alleviate the Sol- diers’ Present Needs. While there may be a diversity of op!nion over the subject of the test plans to be followed in giving the returning heroes of the Ist District Regiment a reception worthy of them, there is only one view taken ef the purpose of The Evening Star to procure means for the relief of the needy members of the regiment and those who may be dependent on them. The sons of the well-to-do who are in the ranks are assured of proper treatment and careful attention when they return, but there are scores who will not have loved ones able to do this for them, but who will have, on the other hand, loved eres dependent on them. There is no robler channel offered for the exercise of charity than that which leads to the relief of this character of suffering, due solely to the war for the nation’s honor and its flag, and it is to be earnestly hoped that the citizens of the capital city will continue to be generous in bebalf of such a purpose. The contributions alrea@y received are as follows: Contribations Received. The following contributions have been re- ceived by The Star for the relief of the regiment: I. Wm. Oyster. + 20.00 W. B.

Droop & W. F. Talty “A subscriber,” in inclosing a subscrip- tion to The Star's relief fund, says: “In contributing my mite, I cannot re- frain from expressing my heartfelt sor- row at the terrible and apparently unnec- essary suffering which our heroes of the late war have been called upon to en> dure. Historians will chronicle in glowing terms the grand achievements of our army and navy during the war just closed; it will contain an account of the brave, noble and heroic deeds of our soldiers and salil- ors, and fitting tribute will be paid to the Magnanimous treatment of thelr van- quished enemy—even to the risking of their lives that they might snatch from death’s grasp their fallen foes. That our captives have recelved kind and humane treatment is proven by the unique communication addressed to the soldiers of the American army extending, in behalf of the Spanish soldiers, their thanks and gratitude to them therefor. “When the history of the war is written, hew hidious will appear the treachery and cruelty of the Spaniardé in ‘comparison with the chivalrous and humane conduct of the Americans; and yet) it would appear that the glory of our accémplishments on land’ and sea ts destined to be'dimmed by the recording of failures to give our own helpless soldiers a measure 6f the kind treatment they have acorded their enemies. With all the Reueroaitvade expenditure in the prosecution of this war to'a success- ful ending, both national, state, and indi- vidual, it is mortifying beyond expression to think that it can be possibiéd that even a tithe of the rzported ,eruel. treatment of our sick soldiers exists... “The passengers and crews on snow-bound trains in the western part of this country have not hesitated to satisfy the cravings of hunger by appropriatmg to their use such food as might be faund aboard the train, although consigned,to others than themselves. Why is it then that men who have risked their lives for the honor of our common country, in the interest of human- ity, should be forced to suffer and die on board a transport vessel containing food which would have nourished and sustained them, but which they were denied because they had not the money wherewith to pur- chase it? Is the government of. the United States, or those in authority under it, im- potent to demand the surrender of such merchandise and accept .an accounting therefor at some time hereafter? If so, then our vaunted greatness as a nation but a mere figure of speech. “If a surg20n is so senile as to prolong suffering and jeopardise life because of the absence of horses to transport medicines but a comparatively short distance from one point to another, it-would seem that Some one mor2 resourceful, humane and useful be selected in his stead; such ac- tion should ve had not alone for the bene- fit of the suffering soldiers, but for, the honor of the profesion which has rendered Such noble and efficient service to our slck and wounded men both at the front and | WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 3, 1803. in hospital’. “It is difficult to believe that the state- ments contained in your paper as to th sick and wounded soldiers are true—bu' still they go uncontradicted, our soldiers continue to suffer, our feelings are being shocked, the administration is being criti- cised at home, our good name is being injured abroad, Errors, grievous and num- erous, appear to have been committed somewhere, but that the experience of the present time will prevent any recurrence of such blundering in the future is my earn- est, ardent wish ” A Mother's Solicitade. “A Mother” has furnished The Star an extract from a letter written by her soldier boy, a member of the District regiment, now at Montauk Point, which is as follows: “We are so anxious to get back—have been more or less starved since I left home. The food now is better, but do not get enough to satisfy or appeese the hunger. I am weak from the fever yet, but am not in the hospital. I don’t know whether there is any use to send a box or not, but I am hun- gry. For supper last night I got one cup coffec, two half peaches (canned), one-half pear and about cn2-sixth loaf bread.” ‘The mother says that is not much for a big, strapping fellow, and if he is anything of a convalescent it 1s not the proper kind. She calls attention to it In order that The Star's committee may investigate, and, if possible, eff2ct a change in the conditions. ——_—_ TO FEED THE SOLDIERS. A Concert to Provide Funds for Those Engaged in the Work. A concert will be given at the Grand Op- era House Wednesday evening next by well-known local talent, foremost emong whom are Mrs. Thomas P. Stephenson ard Mrs. Frank Byram, the promoters of the affair, in aid of the Pension Office La- dies’ Aid Association, which has been Going such splendid work in alleviating the wants of the tired and hungry soldiers as they pass through this city on trains bound for distant points. These boys are some- times in pretty bad shape when they ar- rive, and the work of the Pension Office Ladies’ Aid Association, conducted at Maryland avenue and 11th street, has been ene of noble charity. No work, however, can be carried on withcut funds, and so the members of the association have been forced to thankfully accept the offer made by the two ladies mentioned above of a testimonial or benefit concert, to be given at one of the play- houses. To this end, Mr. Harrison Ding- man, one of the receivers for the Grand Opera House property, was approached on the subject, and he very promptly gave the ladies the use of the theater for next Wednesday evening. The preparations which are belng made to give our own boys a royal reception should induce many to contribute their mites toward this very worthy charity, and at the same time attend a musical function that promises to be on the highest plane of excellence. Those who will take part in the concert are the United States Marine Band, which should be sufficient by itself to draw a crowded houre; Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes, Mrs. Hattie Meads-Smith, Miss Edna Scott Smith. Mrs. Thomas P. Stephenson, Miss Amy Law, Mrs. Frank Byram, Mr. Angelo C. Fronari, Mr. D. G. Miller,’ Mr. Clifford A. Wiley, Mr. W. H. Conley, Mr. Ed. Hay, Mr. Percy 8. Foster, and last, but surely rot least, the Apollo Quartet, consisting of Messrs. Perry Turpin, Frank Reeside, W. D. McFarland and Bernard A. Ryan. —— HEAT TO CONTINUE. Thunder Storms and Cooler Weather Tomorrow -Night. Forecast till 8 p.m. Sunday: For th?
