Yesterday the men who were under Seaman’: Dr. care on the Obdam presented to him an address. which has been forwarded to Surgeon General Sternberg. The address, among other things, says: “In our weakened and depressed condition we were provided with nothing but army supplies or rations, upon which we were to subsist for a voyage of six days, which has, through accident, become one of two weeks. Becoming acquainted with the con- dition of affairs, the kind and considerate Dr. Seaman would not permit the transport to leave until he had made a personal visit to the headquarters of the National Relief Association and the Red Cross Society, and procured for us such supplies as were suit- able for men in our physical condition. We feel convincei that had it not been for the untiring and self-sacrificing labors of Major Seaman our ship would have been the scene of great distress and loss of life, instead of her well-cared-for and healthy condi 'TEA NOVELIST AND GEN. SHAFTER. How the Tea Novelist Tried to Get Revenge. New York Correspondence of Philadelphia Press. Friends of Gen. Shafter in this city are expressing much indignation at 4 review of the Santiago campzign which appeared in ne of our magazines and which was writ- ten by a correspondent who is the author of some more or icss successful afternoon tea novel: The indignation mugt sooner or later be reflected back to the publishers of the magazine, since Gen. Shattcr’s friends ns- sert that opportunity was taken of thi megazine article to gratify some private resentment. The general himself has briefly replied to the article in the speech delivered the other day in Michigan, but he did nox tell the whole story as he is reported to have told it when in this cit According to this story, this correspon- dent went to Gen. Shafter just before the Santiago campaign began and asked the general to permit bim and one other to be Tanded at Santiago or Siboney two days before any of the other newspaper cor- respondents were. Gen. Shafter replied that the request could not be granted because that wou'd be untair discrimination. His desire was to treat all the correspondents exactly alike, the more so as-it would be unjust for him to discriminate jn favor of or against any part of the American press. Thereupon the correspondent ins’sted thar he and the other for whom he pleaded were not mere reporters cr newspaper corre- spondents, but ‘magaxjnists instead, and Gen. Shafter to thaf replied that he could not discriminate in favor of the magazines egainst the newspapers. For this refusal the general had reason, as he thought, to suspect that some day he would be called upon to defend in some measure his conduct of the campaign be- fore Santiago. __ HOLLAND.
