MUCH FINDING OF FAULT
A Great Deal of Criticism in Congressional
Circles.
Many Factions and Many Complafnts-
Friends and Critics of Army,
Navy and officials.

There Is an immense amount of talk in
congressional circles about rivalry between
the War and Navy Departments and be-
tween individuals in each branch of the
service. In some quarters Secretary Alger
is criticized on the score that he is inter-
fering with the plans of Gen. Miles and
that the management of the army opera
tions is characterized by haste. confusion
and lack of preparation. On the other
hand, defenders of Secretary Alger declare
that the navy is trying to get all the glory
cut Of the war, and Will not give proper
assistance to Gen. Shafter. The political
strategists who indulge in this criticism of
the navy complain because Admiral SamD-
sen does not disregard the Spanish mines
and Notifications defending the har5or Of
Santiago and force his way in
Then there is controversy in congress
sional circles over the question whether Ad-
! niral Sampson or Commodore Schley should
have credit for the destruction of the Ger
vera fleet. There is the Sampson faction
and the Schley faction; the army faction
and the navy faction; the Miles faction and
the Ager faction, all criticisng some one,
| in spite of the fact that the navy has found
victory On every occasion presented and
that the army has not had a reverse. In
army and navy circles the evidence of such
rivalry is not apparent, and less emotional
men in Congress who have close relations
with both Departments say that there is no
occasion Tor any contention and that there
Is no faction that affects the service in any
way.
Secretary Alger. 1t is said by them is in
clined to criticise the navy for not having
Sampson go at once into Santiago harbor,
but the policy of the administration Is op-
posed to unnecessary risks by either the
army or the fleet. The original object of the
operations at Santiago has been accom-
phshed in the destruction of the Cervera
feet. and as long as Gen. Shafter is able
to hold the Spanish forces where they are
there is,- they say. no need Of extraordinary
haste in taking the city before our REIN
forcements have arrived, all our big guns
In service and the army amply provisioned.
1t is also suggested by defenders of the
navy that whatever controversy there may
be over the situation is excited by desire
to cover up the possible mistake of the
army In having gone ahead too hastily

MANY OFFICERS LAID UP.
Generals, Including Shafter, SUFFERING
From Severe Indfspositfon.

Generals, Including Shafter, Suffering
From Severe IndispositfOn.
Gen. Skaters army is laboring at some
disadvantage, not only on account of the
intense heat and the shock Of a great bat
tie. but also on account of the loss and dis
ability of SO many officers. While none of
the general officers has been wounded, no
less than five OF them are i'll, and were they
at home, would be in bed. Gen. Shafter
himself is suffering from a severe indispo-
sition. His condition, according to last re-
ports, was somewhat improved, but it is
notable that he directed the first days fight
from a cot on which he was lying.
Gen. Joe Wheeler, in command of the
cavalry division. wss very seriously Ill, but
when the battle began insisted against
the protests of his surgeon, that he be
taken to the front. He went in an amhu-
lance, but when he arrived on the field he
mounted his horse and personally directed
the operations Of his men.

Brigadier General Wood of the rough riders
arc ILL., but 1t is understood that their condi-
tion is not serious.
The heavy loss OF officers is due to the
dash and bravery of the officers themselves,
Instance after instance has been disclosed
of officers springing in front of their COM
nands and leading them in brilliant sorties
against the enemy. Quite naturally, the
Spanish sharpshooters singled out the off,
GERS as targets, and the result was that the
American forces suffered particularly heav-
lily in this respect.

CAPT. LOEFFLER's POSITION,
Will Held an Office Created for Him
by Congress.

ny congress.
Charles Loefher, for over twenty-nine
years doorkeeper to Presidents al the
White House, is now a captain of the
United States army, having been nomi-
mated by the President as military store
keeper in the quartermaster's department.
The position was created especially for him
by Congress and at the desire of the Presi-
dent
Capt. Loeffier has been in government
service forty years. having begun as a sol
der of Uncle Sam in 1853. His first ser
vice was in Indian campaigns in the west,
where he was under Gen. Robert +. Lee
and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee then colonel and
lieutenant, respectively. During the civil
war he served with distinction on special
duty becoming a sergeant. Just after the
assassination of President Lincoln Capt
Loeffier was detailed as messenger and
doorkeeper for Secretary Stanton He re-
mained in this position in the War Dez,art-
mant until Gen. Grant was elected Presi-
cent. Gen. Grant made Capt. Loeffier his
ooorkeeper, and he still holds that position
He will not leave the position, and in about
three years will be retired
Capt. Loelfier's personal acquaintance
with public men is probably larger than
that OF any man in the United States, as
during his long service he has received the
cards Of callers upon the Presidents il is
his business to ascertain whether a visitor
should be admitted, and il is said of him
that he never once admitted the wrong
person. His politeuess is proverbial, and
he never offendn those whom he decides

Guiteau was a frequent caller at the
White House, but Capt. Loefflcr was too
prudent to allow him to see President Gar

ana Keeping them away from the PresI-
dent has been frequently demonstrated.

Pathetic Scenes When the lroquois

NO DEATHS ON THE WAY

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
KEY WEST, Fla, July 6.-The arrival
last night of the transport Iroquois. with
800 sick and wounded men from last FRI
days fight near Santiago, furnished sight
which will never be forgotten by those who
witnessed it. 1t brought all observers very
near to the gruesomeness OF war.
All save a half hundred or so were able
to walk with or without assistance to the
carriages, ambulances and street cars, pro-
vided for their transportation to tn hos
pital buildings, which have been pi pared
for their reception. A few were able to
make the trip on foot.
Stretchers were needed for the removal
of some of the more seriously injured.
Most of the sufferers were men of the
regular army, but there were a few from
the list New York, the ID Massachusetts
and the Rough Riders. The percentage Of
officers wounded is heavy.
No journey is easy for those who are sick
and suffering, but the trip was made with
no greater discomfort than would be ex-
perienced in a field hospital, and no serious
results followed it in any case There were
no deaths on the way, and there is no ap-

WOULD FACE TERRIFIC FIRE.
Obstacle to Sampson's Entrance Into
Santiago HnrbOr.


Santiago HnrbOr.
There is said to DE 10 obstacle, so far as
navigation is concerned, to the entrance of
the harbor Of Santiago by the American
feet. The CristobaI Colon, which cleared
the Merrimac and got out of the harbor
Sunday, drew tweLty-three feet three
inches, which is within seven inches of the
draft of the battle ships iowa, Indiana
Massachusetts and Oregon, and is greater
than the draft of the battle ship Texas.
Moreover, the Navy Department has known
for the last ten days that the neck of the
channel was open, despite the sinking of
the Merrirn1c,- and that there was Clear
Seaway of seven fathCms, through which
any snip in our navy could sail. This re-
moves all difficulty, except from submarine
mines or from the shore batteries.
AS to the mines. little account is taken
of them since the Spanish fleet passed over
them. The Spaniards are in the habit of
using contact mines, so that there is little
likelihood of there beirg mines operated
by electric connection with the shore. The
forts ard batteries have been badly weak.
cred by the constant fire of the fleet for
many weeks past, and while still a factor,
they are greatly disabled. Once up to the
city, the fleet and army could combine in
terrific double fire. No less than 292
heavy guns would be trained from the
American warships on the city. and at the
same time the big siege guns which 1t is
expected have been brought to the front
of Skaters line would rain down tor
rent of steel from that quarter. The siege
guns throw shells of 135 pounds. Aside
from them are four Morton howitzers and
a large number of smaller kowitzers. These
are in the heavy artillery, while the light
artillery embraces a great number Of guns
of 80 caliber. Combined. this fire from
land and sea would be terrific in effect.
