William Turnhull, a coal-heaver, had

next day | found him in critical condition.
! had asked the Sisters in charge to dress
his wounds, but they refused on the ground
that they could not touch any wounds, or
allow me to touch any without permission OF
q physician in charge.
SURGICAL AID REFUSED.
The next day l urged more strenuOusly
that l be permitted to attend the Baltimore
men. This was also refused, though the
Sisters seemed to regret the fact. The per-
son in charge OF the Wa'd was only nurse
without medical knowledge. Nothing was
done for the men except 10 put little ONT
ment on their wounds. The condition OF
the men was becoming worse and IurnDuil
especially was failing fast. DR.. White
agreed with me that il was imperative that
the men be taken aboard the ship, but for
two days more Judge of Crimes Foster re-
fused 10 allow them 10 leave the hospital
At the end Of that time the attendants tell
ing the Judge that TuTnhull would pToba-

HATRED OF AMERICANS.
One Of the wounds received by Hamilton
was caused by bayOnet stab.
An extremely hostile feeling prevailed IN
Valparaiso against Americans before the
| riot Of October 10Th. As an instance Of
! this, a high Chilean army officer became
| furious when he found mis- son, who had
! been wounded in the battle of Placilla, was
! being treated by American physicians. lie
| said he would rather his son should die
| than owe his life 10 Americans.
A DYING STATEMENT.
| While in the hospital Turubull made
| statement 10 me which ! took down at the
/ time. 1t was as follows: Il was not in
! tOxicated. l was talking with friend, an
/ American. and went into a baT-rOOm. They
! told me there was a crowd outside waiting
! for me, 50 dd not 20 out, but waited until
/ / thought they had gone away. Then l
/ went out, and as soon as ! was outside /
/ was struck on the lead with a stone. l
| turned and tried 10 get back into the saloon,
/ but they would not let me in. The mob was
around NE on all sides, and IN a short time
/ / was knocked unconscious and only came
/ to in the hospital
UNDER TREATMENT
| Passed Assistant Surgeon Charles II.
I White Of the Baltimore was next called.
He saw a number Of men of the Baltimore
/ on shore on the afternoon of the 18th. All
/ were sober and well behaved. The doctor
/ continued: The first wounded man / saw
/ was on the morning Of the l7th. For the
next three days men wounded on shore
were continually coming 10 the sick bay
On The 20th l went ashore 10 see the
wounded I'D tile hospital l found HamIl-
tOu's condition such that l insisted on
being permitted TO treat MIN. After much
delay was permitted TO DO this. The Sis
tiers had Instructions not 70 allow Us to treat
our men. ! then examined IuTnbull and
found him 10 a critical condition. With Dr..
Slit 1 visited Judge Of Crimes Foster, aud
with great difficulty We obtained permission
to take tie men away. Three were taken
10 the ship that night and the other two the
next morliug. Blood poisoning set in and
TuTnhUil died on the morning OF Octo-
Der 25th."
Dr White then proceeded to describe the
wounds received by tie i've men in the hos
pItaL The description did not differ mate
rally from Dr. Stitt's. All the incised
wounds, he stated, were clean-cut wounds,
that might have been caused ly swords or
bayOnets. The immediate cause OF Turn
bulls death was blo0d-p .is1ning, resulting
from imperfect treatment in San Juan hos
ptal at Valparaiso.
