WHY THINGS WENT WRONG.
Secretary A'ge. Explains Charges Against
tho War Department

the War Department.
NEW YORK. Aug. 23.-Sccretary Al.
ccr, under date of August 10, sent
Chauncey NJ. Depcw n long letter in
defense OF the war department. The
letter shows the enormous amount OF
work the department has been called
On to do: explains the difficulties at
tending the operations at Santiago and
the care Of the sick and wounded, and
sets forth the troubles that have at.
tended camp life in the United States
under inexperienced officers. He says,
in part:
Concerning tho Santiago campaign,
when the ships left Tampa they had
IN board three months provisions and
An abundance of hospital supplies.
They had lighters TO unload with at
point of de~barkation. These lighters
were lost In the severe storms on the
way. As 70 as we were notified of
the fact, two tows OF lighters were
sent from Mobile and New Orleans,
which were also ovcrtaken by storms
and lost. The navy supplied us with
lighters, and one of those was wrecked.
The army disembarked, getting OFF a
portion OF its supplies and medical
stores, and Immediately marched to
the front to fight the Spaniards. The
great difficulty oflanding supplies sub
s~equently was because of the wind,
which sprang up every morning at 10
and made n high surf, rendering
almost impossible the use Of small
boats, with n lighter, which was al!
they had left for this purpose.
OF the packers who were employed
60 per cent soon fell sick, and, heavy
rains falling every day, the roads iii
they could be called SUCH became i'm.
passable for vehicles. Pack animals
had to be employed to carry food to
the army. which, being extended tc
the right around Santiago, increased
The distance from the coast every day
md made the task more difficult.
However, the result and the subse
quent sickness that has broken out in
the army showed the great wisdom OF
General Shafter in moving forward &c
make the attack while his men were
in vigor.
1t was q movement bordering or
audacity, but it succeeded, and tn,
persistence of the attack, I have nc
doubt, greatly disheartcned the Span
iards. The result was one of tn,
greatest victories, for the men en-
gagged, of modern warfare. The mum
Der of prisoners taken exceed the at
lacking force by nearly two to one.
Some men have been neglected OF
transports coming home there is n,
doubt-all against positive orders
due, no doubt, to carelessness and neg
ligence, but largely on account o
not having the medical force to SPAR
(many Of whom were sick) from tn,
camp Mt Santiago. Many medical of
ficers sent with transports were takei
i'll OF their way home.

COMPANY G ALL RIGHT.

Col. Philbrook has investigated Ban
gor's military company and finds it all
right after all. He asked the members
to express themselves freely in regard to
Capt. bennett, and Sergts. EBarrows and
Smith responded, declaring that officers
and men were interested in the company
and loyal to Capt. BENNETT, and that the
stories of the company's troubles were IN
stigated by personal feeling against Capt.
bennett on the part of those outside OF
the company. No other members had
anything to say.
Then Col Philbrook testified to the su-
perb condition In which he found the
company and told the members that
there had not been received at state or
regimental headquarters any criticism OF
Capt. Dsnnett and he considered him
one of the best officers of his command.
