Heath Says this need will be filled by the install- ment of clerks which left New York last week, and whose arrival at Ponce was reported to the department yesterday.

VOLUNTEER He Denounces Attack on Secretary Alger and the Department, Stories of Suffering and Neglect, He Says, Are Exaggerated—Inefiicient Officers Blamed. To the Lditor of The Evening Star: The continued malignant and unjust at- tacks upon Secretary Alger made by a po- litically prejudiced press and by sensation- loving men of limited kgowledge and ideas has aroused within me a desire to refute, publicly, by a statement of facts as they are, this unseemly abuso of the Secretary of War and those immediately under his su- pervision. Few, if any, of the writers who so brutal- ly attack Mr. Alger are acquainted with the daily routine of army lif2, even in time of peace, and to one who thoroughly under- stands such details, the sensational at- tempts to make political capital out of nothing are not only hideous for their ef- frontery and malice, but laughable for their ignorance. In the mattar of the published complaints of enlisted men alone, the sensational press in New York and other cities has been do- ing {tself more than proud, and the “inter- view” with “poor, half-starved, suffering” Privat? Smith or Brown is becoming an eyesore in the columns of more than a few papers. Could the general public but know the real facts of the case, such interviews would be abandoned right speedily. From a personal knowledge of the men and a careful investigation, I am able to assert with positiveness and no fear of contradic- tion that nine out of ten enlisted men who make such brash accusations are the ones who before the war wer> homeless nomads; who were recruited in the missions and municipal lodging houses of our eastern cities. What more natural than that one of these men should seek to win sympathy and help from a too sympathizing people by relating awful tales of woe, the greatest percentage of which originated in the brain of him who tells it? Here let me stats that 1 am an experienced soldier, having served in the Ist United States Cavalry on the fron- tier. I want through the campaign in Cuba and suffered the hardships with the rest of my company and regiment. I gave up a paying position; relinquished a -ife pension of $14 a month; left a wife in poor health in order to enter the s2rvice and g2t a taste of war. I am not citing these things for my own laudation, but -to prove that had any one real, just cause for com- plaint, I certainly would be among the number. I served in Alger, Thomas, Tampa and Cuba, and I say this, that ninety-five per cent of the suffering and illn volunteer service was due to regimental officers. I challenge any man, great or small, to refute this assertion by f We who went to Cuba suffered hardships, beside which those of the troops in the big camps at home were as naught. They had tents, clothing, blankets and the full army ration. We slept, for several weeks, under the heavens, rained on con- tinually, and lived on what we might. And yet no regular soldier has, to my knowl- made complaint of any discomfort he suffered during the campaign. Most of us, both regulars and yolunteers, who. be- longed to the 5th Army Corps, were proud and glad to go to Cuba, and glorfed in the fact that we were given a chance to en- dure. Those of us who had any knowledge of military matters before the war, ex- pected to suffer. We knew that war was “hell” in all of its phases, but we wanted a little hell. We did not expect to attend a picnic, nor did we expect to live in Eu- ropean plan hotels in the campaign. In fact, some of us, having seen active serv- ice, half expected to starve outright. We went to Cuba and there began our troubles. In Tampa and Chickamauga we had drawn the full army field ration and grown fat upon it. If food was ill cooked, whose fault was it? The War Depart- ment’s? No. It was the fault of inexperienced or lazy officers, who did not personally see to it that cooks were properly instructed in their duties. Every sane man knows that the, army ration is plentiful and healthy, and every soldier who will admit the truth must acknowledge that in Amer- ica, at least, fuil rations were served. In Cuba the absolutely impossible condition of the roads—no, trails, and poor ones at that —made it impossible for us to get full ra- tions, but after the surrender of Santiago de Cuba e regiment, which had effi- cient commissary and quartermaster de- partments had plenty of food. Regarding the rain, it is well to state that soldiers threw away their tents and clothing of their own volition, upon push- ing to the front, and this, too, against the advice of all sensible officers. During the marches from Siboney the trenches thou beans, toma- inefficient he transports were not what we might have hoped for, but could any gov- ernment, in so short a time, and for so short a campaign, have done better? Did England do better in sending Kitchener's forces to Egypt. No. No. No. The hospital service was excellent in Cu- ba after the surrender, and one does not hear regulars ccmplaining. And let me tell you ,if there had been aught to complain of, the regular army officers, who make a business of soldiering, would have been the very first to enter protests. This talk about being “shut up” by the department is, to use a vulgar term, all “tommy-rot.” All officers are required to look after the health and comfort of their men, and they do so. They are also required, not sup- posed, to report any and all hardships the men are suffering. And yet no complaint comes from the regulars. And the carps: Let us look at Wikoff, much maligned and criticised. In all of my experience I have never seen a finer cr more healthy camp. The water, ice-cold, gushed from artesian wells from 1,000 feet deep. The hospitals were excel- lent and the food good. Who complained? Why, homesick, fever-prostrated men, who ere ignorant of army usages, customs and ties of a soldier's life—men who flocked around reporters and told dire tales of want and suffering. Talk of flooring for tents was foolish. We had no floors in Cuba. Gen. Wheeler himself, than whom a more earnest, hard-working and consci- entious soldier never lived, would have been the first to attack the department had there been sufficient ground for it. Instead he praiges the camp arrangements to the sky. ‘The sersational press has so agitated the mothers, wives and sisters of the country that they are ready to belleve anything of Secretary Alger, and yet, as he him- self says, and as every regular army offi- cer will corroborate, much of the sickness of the volunteers. was caused, uninten- tionally ‘tis true, by these same mothers and sisters, who sent huge boxes of deli- cacies to their soldier relatives. Ninety rer cent of the sickness In our owml regi- ment at Tampa was caused by this one thing. Civilian physicians will also tell you that the greater part of the sickness endured by the volunteers since coming from Cuba has been caused by too much eating. With stomachs unaccustomed to rich food the boys unthinkingly “stuffed” themselves with gocd things upon their ar- rival at their homes and suffer in conse- quence. Let reason once mors sway the Ameri- can people and cease all this foolish, mali- cious talk against Secretary Alger. It is all fallacious and only holds us up to the ridicule of foreigners. With nine-tenths of the American volunteers, who are manly, truthful men, I stand ready to go through the same experiences, if need be, tomor- row, and you may be sure that as a man of education and intelligence I would not say this if I thought we had been cruelly treated.

Refused the Tender of the Minister's Carriage in Madrid. A dispatch from Madrid says: The marked coolness of Admiral Cervera and his offi- cers toward the minister of marine, Senor Aunon, is much commented upon here. Senor Aunon and his staff, in uniform, met Admiral Cervera and his party at the rail- road depot. The admiral halted before the minister, saluted, and said, stiffly: “I am at the orders of your excellency. I shall present myself at the ministry to- day, as is my duty.” ‘The admiral then started to leave, after embracing Capt. Eulate, the former com- mander of the Vizcaya, and his other com- rades, The minister of marine offered the use of his carriage to Admiral Cervera, but the latter declined to accept it, and entered an- other carriage. In an interview the admiral said he had a clear conscience regarding Santiago. Na- tions, he said, grew great by their victories and not by their defeats, however glorious they might be. Spain had lived in a dream, and she now had to face reality. The ad- miral added that his warships were not de- stroyed in the battle, but by fire. Gen.
