THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1898 SUFFERINGS OF SICK SOLDIERS NOT ALLEVIATED Investigation at pital Will Reveal Shocking Conditions. .Fever-Stricken Men Left Without Proper Care and Food Until Benevolent Women Go to Their NEW YORK, Aug. Thomas, Chickamauga Park, Ga., spe- cial to the Herald says: It is expected that the cofficial investigation which is to be made of the shameful conditions existing here will place upon the shoul- ders of those who are to blame the r sponsibility for the lack of precautions which has resulted in so much sickness and so many deaths among the troops encamped here. There can be no doubt that the awful con- @ftton—of this camp Is due primarily to official incompetency or willful dis- regard of the welfare of the soldlers quartered here. Nobody here, aside from the officials interested, attempts to deny that in many cases the sur- geons were appointed not because of their ability, but for political reasons, and it is alleged that some of these sur- geons were not subjected to an exami- nation as rigid as is required by law. The first ten cases of typhoid fever were imported into the camp by regi- | ments newly arrived. It will be shewn that these cases were not properly iso- lated nor were proper precautions taken to disinfect their tents. It will be shown that many soldiers who suffered from iliness, fearing neglect in the hos- pital, refused to state their true con- dition and were kept in regimental camps with typhoid and other fevers, scattering disease among all their com- rades. It will be shown, I am also informed, that such conditions would have been impossible if there had been proper management in camp. Not a reputable physician can be found who would as- sert that there are local conditions at Chickamauga that would produce fever. Nurses are very scarce. Every mo ing a large number of benevolent women go to camp from Chattanooga and spend the day relleving the suffer- ing. They tell me that in one of the division hospitals where there are more than 200 patients the nurses are sol- diers who have never had a day's ex- perience in the sickroom, and who con- sequently lack the knéwledge and pa- | tience and all other qualities which go to make up a good nurse. One woman told me that she found sick soldiers in this hospital begging for food, having had none for hours. They were bitten by flies and other insects and were un- able to care for themselves. Another woman, with tears streaming down her face, told me of the terrible sights she had witnessed. She said she was so | horrified by the awful spectacle that it was a nightmare to her and she could | not sleep, thinking of the terrible suf- | fering of the soldier boys, much of | which is due to the fact that the Gov- | ernment has falled to provide proper nursing. Women nurses are not per- mitted in a division hospital. NEGLIGENCE REVEALED BY [ TWO SOLDIERS’ DEATHS| NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—A Camp Alger (Dunn Loring, Va.) special to the Her- | ald says: Further mismanagement in | the first dlvision hospital was made | known to-day by the death of Private | Thomas Lowmiller of Company I, Eigthth Pennsylvania Regiment. Neg- | ligence on the part of the officials of | the hospital and the nurses in connec- | tion with Lowmiller's death, it is said, | can be proved, and General Gobin will | demand a strict accountability of the | officers in charge. According to the statements made by those in the Eighth Regiment, Low- miller became ill several days ago and | seemed to be suffering considerably. | He was sent in charge of a corporal to the division hospital at 7 o’clock Fri- day evening, and remained there all| night without receiving any medical at- tention. He was found to be seriously | i1l at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. be- ing In a delirfous condition. The ill and neglected soldier never rallied, but grew rapidly worse until a little before 4 o'clock this afternoon, when he died. Another case of the neglect of a pa- | tlent from the same regiment is that | of Private 8. Plum, who is now ill at| Fort Meyer, with typhoid fever. Plum complained of illness nearly a month ago and was sent to the division hos- pital. After remaining there three days, it i said, he was returned to his regi- ment as cured. “Plum had not been back to his regi- ment ten minutes,” an officer of the Eighth said, “when he was examined {n the regimental dispensary and found to have an exceedingly high tempera- ture. Colonel Hoffman at once had the soldier sent to Fort Meyer, and shortly after his arrival he was down with ty- phold. This shows flagrant neglect and | incompetency on the part of some one connected with the division hospital.” A regimental surgeon who was at one time on duty at the division hos- pital, speaking of the strictures as to the mismanagement, published In this morning’s Herald, said: “Frequently when I asked for supplies I could not | get them, and consequently we had to do without many necessities. We did not have utensils for filtering water,and therefore could not do it. In all else that the physician quoted in to-day’s paper had to 1 full acquiesce.” CONDITIONS IMPROVE AT CAMP WIKOFF NEW YORK, Aug. 28,—The Herald's correspondent at Camp Wikoff, Mon- tauk Point, says: I asked in the camp of the Twelfth Infantry this morning what they had for breakfast under the improved conditions following Secre- tar— Alger's visit. 2 “Well,” one man sald, “for breakfast this morning we had stew.” “What sort of stew?” I asked. | . “Oh, beef stew,” was the reply. He added that they had bread and coffee with it, and this was an improvement ‘over bacon and hardtack which they had to eat on the transport which brought them north. When I asked 28. — A Camp | fresh beef yesterday for the first time, | | men aboard was 520, of which fifteen about dinner, the men sald they had the Camp Hos- Rescue. and would enjoy the same luxury to- | day if the supply arrived in time, which it usually does not, if the experience of this regiment and those camped near | it may be accepted as a criterion. | There was laughter among the group | of men to whom I was talking when I sanitary | asked about supper, and then one said: | © “Oh, for supper, I ’'spose we must scrape up something. We shall prob- | ably have some sowbelly as usual, and, | oh how tired we are of it.” ‘ The Thirteenth Infantry Is camped near the Twelfth, and to-day is faring | much better, chiefly because the| wretched condition of the command | was plainly told by the Herald, and | friends of the regiment at once sent in | supplies. In spite of the complaints of | which were frequent in the in-| fantry camp, the men generally speak | of the conditions as greatly improved | since Secretary Alger Inspected Camp | Wikoff. ‘ | | SAN MARCOS BRINGS TROOPS FROM TAMPA | NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—The transport | San Marcos, which satled from Tampa | August 20 and from Key West August| 22, arrived this morning with two bat- | teries of the First United States Artil- | lery, two companies of the Third Texas Volunteers and the general hospital corps and a detachment from the corps of engineers. The total number of | are officers. Captain Miller, First Ar-’ tillery, is in command. The San Marcos arrived off Sandy Hook at 10 o’'clock last night, where she anchcred until daylight, when she proceeded up the bay to quarantine. Deputy Health Officer Sanborn boarded | the transport and after a brfef inspec- | tion permitted her to proceed. | The San Marcos steamed up the bay | and anchored off Liberty Island, where she will await instructions from the War Department at Washington. The troops will probably be sent to Camp Wikof. One artilleryman is reported | sick with measies. None of the troops | on the San Marcos had been outside the United States, all having been in camp at Tampa since the early part of | the war. | Sixty of the worst cases were re- moved from the San Marcos this after- | noon. Nearly all the men are convales- | cents from the general army hospitals | at Key West and Tampa. Ten were sent to the New York Hospital, one to | Governor's lsland and the remainder | to Fort Hamilton and Fort Wadsworth. Very few of the men were able to walk. | The scene at the landing was pathetic | in the extreme. The men could not be | transferred on stretchers, and, clad in | pajamas, their emaciated forms were carried down the plank. Private Stephen Easton, Troop K, First Volunteer Cavalry, was the only | man landed at Governor's Island, as the fleld hospital on the island |s] crowded. He is suffering from melan- | cholia, having lost his voice and hear- ing as the result of a fever contracted | while serving before Santiago. During | the trip to this city his attempts to end his life became so frequent and deter- mined that it was necessary to have a guard watch him night and day. Easton enlisted in the Rough Riders from New Mexico. He is of Mexican descent. The men are delighted over the fact that they have arrived in New York. They complain, however, that they have not recelved their pay for two months. There are a number of men on board | who are suffering with wounds, but | the majority of them are recovering | from malaria. The men also complain some of a lack of suitable accommodations while on the ship. In the main, however, the trip from Key West was without inci- dent. Among the sick and wounded volun- | teers brought to this city are: John P. Hall, A. H. Denham, Thomas W. Wig- gins, John R. Kean, Thomas Cava- | naugh, M. P. Mathanical, James M. Dean, Stephen Easton of the First Cav- alry and Thomas G. Jones of the Third Texas. MOVING THE MEM FROM CAMP THOMAS | CHICKAMAUGA, Aug. 28.—The last of this week will see almost every regi- ment of volunteers gone from Camp | Thomas. This morning, when the First Pennsylvania left for Lexington, com- pleted the removal of the First Army Corps. By Monday, at the latest, the Third Army Corps will begin to move to An- niston, Ala. If the railroads can handle the trcops by Saturday noon not a sin- gle regiment will be left In the park, | with the exception of the United States Volunteers, which will be kept here to | guard hospitals and Government prop- | | | | i erty. | As fast as the trains can be got the | convalescents are being sent to their | homes. Already over 4000 sick leaves have been granted and there are yet| in the hospital over 1500 sick soldiers. | These will be sent home as fast as they | are convalescent. There were to-day reported in all 520 cases of typhoid fever In all hospitals and six deaths. - MUSTERING OUT THE - TROOPS AT CAMP MEADE | CAMP MEADE, Pa., Aug. 28.—Gen- eral Davis. commander of the Second Division, Second Army Corps, has es- tablished headquarters in Camp Meade, and will remain here until the troops are mustered out. The general and his staff came In last night from Thor- oughfare Gap with the Twenty-second Kansas. To-morrow the remainder of the Second Division will be on hand. Commencing Tuesday, the movement of the First Division from Camp Alger will begin and continue at the rate of one regiment a day. The health of the camp is splendid, there being less than 200 cases in the general hospital. ‘With the exception of fifteen typhoid fever cases, none are serious.

NEW TYORK, Aug. 28.—The Herald’s Washington correspond- ent sends the following: In the course of a long statement to- night concerning the criticisms of his office Secretary Alger said: “I do not intend to order an investigation of the wholesale charges of mismanagement of the war, but propose to stand on my record. If the President or Congress desires these charges investigated T would be delighted to have the administration of the ‘War Department made the sub- Jject of the most searching in- quiry. “If any ome can be found who can perform the dutles better than I have I am willing to give way to him, but not until the un- Jjust, brutal and untrue criti- cisms have ceased. I will not re- tire under fire. It s at least un- graclous for the press of the country to attack me when I have given all my time and what ability T possess to bring the war to a successful conclusion. Orders have been promptly sent to correct all abuses, and I can no more be held responsible for the fallure to execute these or- ders than the commanding offi- cer can be for the remissness of his subordinates. “If any one is to blame for not supplying the soldlers with ra- tions and taking the proper sani- tary precautions it is the com- manding officers in the field. Complaints of all sorts from private {ndividuals have been made, which were investigated and proved to be unfounded. There have been charges made agalnst the Surgeon General, the Commissary and Quartermaster Generals’ departments which are equally untrue. Three harder- worked or more competent offi- cers cannot be found in service than these men.” (] o [~} Q o (4] (] (<} [+] [+] (] © (] (] (4] ] o < (] ©CO000000000000000Q ©000000000000000CCCC0000000000C00000C000C0000C0000000CC0000000 Cuba for garrison duty, and that the remainder would be mustered out. Sk STILL BRINGING THE SICK FROM SANTIAGO SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 28.—The transport Roumanian will leave for Mon- tauk Point to-morrow morning with 650 | sick men of the Sixty-first New York, the Second and Ninth Massachusetts, the Second Regulars, the Tenth Cavalry and the Sixteenth and Twenty-first regi- ments. The condition of the men is ex- tremely bad. Ambulances were found to be necessary to convey some of them to_the steamer. Three transports will leave to-morrow for Guantanamo, Baracoa and Sagua for the Spanish prisoners there. The con- dition of the men {s distressing. The transport Knickerbrocker arrived this_morning with the Second Battalion of the Fifth Infantry. The Second and Third Battallons of Ray’'s Second Im- mune Regiment will leave to-morrow for Baracoa and Sagua for garrison duty at those places. General Toral and staff and a few other officers will leave next week on the Leon Over 200 Santiago refugees ar- rived from Jamalca to-day and others are coming soon, now that peace is restored. A sunken Spanish ship will reno- vated and put into shape for an Amer- fcan hospital. Its location is excellent and 1t has a capacity of 1000. Upon the arrival of a Spanish major re- cently it was discovered by accident that he had several trunks filled with silver Jewelry, valuable articles and money, evi- dently the result of looting the houses of residents during the confusion attend- ant upon the Caney exodus. Large amounts of money were carried away by Spanish officers. GENERAL BOYNTON FINDS ALL SERENE WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—A few days ago Secretary Alger issued an order to General H. V. Boynton, now at Chick- amauga Park, to make a thorough and searching investigation of all the hos- pitals in Camp Thomas and to report instantly any lack of attention to the inmates, any inefficiency in the medical officers or any need of supplies of what- ever kind. General Boynton’s atten- tion was directed to the sensational charges made by one Dr. Terry against the conduct of the hospitals at Camp Thomas, and he was urged to make a prompt report of the exact conditions as he should find them. To-night the following telegram, under date of Aug- ust 28, was received by Adjutant Gen- eral Corbin from General Boynton: ‘“Have completed examination of hos- pitals. Results exceedingly favorable in all essential features. The facts ef- fectually dispose of all recent sensa- tional adverse criticism. Report will be written out to-morrow.” The results of General Boynton’s in- vestigation as briefly stated in his tele- gram afforded the officials of the War | Department great satisfaction. They have implicit confidence in General Boynton and are satisfied that his in- vestigation has been thorough and its results, as he states them, are accurate. A copy of General Boynton's dispatch was sent to President McKinley. ot PENNSYLVANIA BOYS ARE WELL CARED FOR CINCINNATI, Aug. 28.—After the middle of last week Governcr Hast- ings of Pennsylvania raised $5000 cash in thirty minutes in Philadelphia to equip a hospital train to bring home sick of Pennsylvania regiments from Chickamagua. A train of eighteen hospital cars was ecquipped «with as- tounding promptness. To-nighc it ar- rived homeward-bound with 211 Penn- sylvania scldiers, thirteen New York- ers, one Ohio and one Rhode Island soldier, and left with its overjoyed freight on hour later for Pittsburg. | Both on the down trip and the return, Governor Hastings devoted his per- sonal attention to all the details of transportation. Arriving in Cincinnati to-night he filed 164 telegrams to friends of soldiers and to those prepar- ing for their reception in Pennsylvania. At Chickamauga yesterday he took the sick from hospitals against the protests of officlals who wanted them to wait for a transcript of their muster rolls, Fourteen soidiers, too il to leave, were left in the Red Cross hospital. FERNANDINA SUFFERERS FOR MONTAUK POINT NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Seven officers and 183 privates arrived in .ersey City from Fernadina, Fla., to-day, and were at once transferred to Montauk Point. They were detachments of all the regular army in infantry regiments not in the Philippines or Porto Rico. Surgeon Lieutenant H. P. Meisner said he had six_men seriously ill. Of these Lieutenant J. H. Schoffel of the Third In- fantry was down with malarial fever. The detachments contained men from these regiments: The First, Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, entleth, Twen- ty-first, Twenty-fourthl and Twenty-fifth. {OO OO OSROSI ORI OSIOSNOSO DEATH CLAIMS CLAUDE MATTHEWS. The Late Ex-Governor Claude Matthews of Indiana. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 28.—Ex-Governor Matthews is dead. Claude Matthews was born in Bath County, Ky., December 14, 1845. He left Kentucky in 1868, and settled in Vermillion County, Ind., where he had a farm. He organized the Indianapolis Short Horn Breeders' Asso- clation, and was one of the founders of the National Association of Short Horn Cattle Breeders of the United States and Canada.

Over$500 has been subscribed to help de- fray the cost of tuition at the Santa Clara school. Arrangements have been made by which the transporta- tion to and from Santa Clara is only $1 80 a month, and there is a prospect that it will be even lower than this. Last year San Jose received nearly $3000 in tuition from non-residents at- tending the High School, and this the city will lose the coming year.
