READY FOR An INQUIRY
AND EXPECTS THAT ONE WILL
BE MADE
Surgeon General Sternberg Prefers at
Present to Look After the Sick
and Wounded
Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, September l.-surgeon
General Sternberg today sent the following
letter to a New York medical publishing
house which had made inquiries OF him
concerning the conduct of the war with
reference to the medical department and
especially about the subject OF having an
Immediate Investigation OF his bureau. He
says:
Il am ready at any moment for having a
complete Investigation with reference to
my administration OF the affairs of the
medical department.; but the war depart
ment 10 not disposed to make such an in
vestigation as the result of sensational
newspaper articles. There Is at present
an evident craze to criticise without regard
TO truth or justice. 1 have no doubt there
Will be congressional investigation into
the conduct OF the war; but do not feel
at liberty at present to insist upon an In
vestigation for my own vindfcation. be-
cause 1t Is contrary to the general interests
of the service. 1t would be wrong for me
to give up all the important official work
which at present almost overwhelms me
for the purpose of devo.ing myself to a
presentation of facts relating to my admin
istration. 1t would make 1t necessary to
take clerks away from their daily tasks in
order 10 look up the documentary evidence
on file In my office, and in the meantime
important matters would necessarily be
neglected and the sick in all parts OF the
country would suffer. 1t would make 1t
necessary to call upon the medical officers,
who are now urgently needed for the care
Of the sick In our varkious camps and hos
pitfalls, to come to Washington as wit
nesses: and all this to satisfy the clamor
OF irresponsible newspaper reporters.
There has been no official criticism with
reference to my administration of the
medical department..
I'm regard to Montauk Point, l intend to
send Lieutenant Colonel Charles Smart, an
experienced officer and professor of ny
g.ene in our army medical school, 10 make
thorough sanitary investigation. To go
myself. much as l should like to do so,
would be to neglect important official du-
ties In connection with the supply Of hos
pitfalls, the movement of hospital trains, of
hospital ships, etc."

Red Cross Work

HAVANA, Sept. !, 9 p. m.-This morning
Miss Clara Barton received a cable mes
sage from President Mckinley telling her
to act in perfect concert with the Spanish
authorities and to turn over the Red Cross
society's supplies to them If convenient
for distribution, helping them as far as
possible in this work, owing to her thor
ough familiarity with it. With respect to
the fine of $500 imposed by the custom

Mckinley directed her to pay the fine, lie.

Immediately following the address of
President Carey an exceedingly interesting
paper from Colonel H. M. Chittenden. who
Is now on duty at Camp Wheeler, Hunts
Vile, Ala, was read. Colonel Chittenden's
topic was: 1.-The Construction Of Storage
Reservoirs Under National Supervision"
and the conclusions he arrived at were that
one-fourth to three-fourths Of the water of
streams must be held back in storage reser-
voirs, and that the cost will compel the
general government to undertake the enter
prise. An estimate of the cost of systems
examined in Wyoming and Colorado show
the necessary annual expenditures to be
moderate. His work included plans to en-
able congress to make intelligent appropri-
atoms.
paper prepared by A. c. True. director
of experiment stations, was then read on
the work Of that department. Another pa
per by w. f. Smythe upon "Obstac!es to
Settlement Of the Arid Regions and the
Best Method Of Overcoming Them" ex-
cited much interest. Mr. Smythe's conclu-
sions as to the obstacles embraced igno-
rance of the arid regions, repugnance to
the purchase Of water rights, prohibitory
prices asked for lands, poverty Of the set
tier class. cost of transportation and the
failure of the western people to comprehend
the requirements of the peculiar situation.
At the conclusion Of the formal papers a
committee consisting of one from each del
egation was appointed on resolutions. The
remainder OF the afternoon was devoted
to a lively and highly entertaining discus
sion Of the papers read. Just before ad-
journment a committee was appointed
to present the resolution on reservoir con-
struction, based on Colonel Chittenden's
paper. An adjournment was then taken
until 10 o'clock tomorrow.

why the troops In Porto Rico have not been
pad. The explanation is given that the
paymasters, with money for the troops were
at Santiago and ready 10 proceed to Ponce.

masters, saying they would bring yellow
fever infection with them or fhe money
might be infected while on board the ships
Other paymasters have been since dis
patched TO Porto Rico to pay the troops
that remained there.
Complaints have been made also by cer-
tain regiments that they received no pay
while at Santiago. It Is learned at the de-
partment in some Of these instances the re-
quests were made by the commanding offi-
GERS or the regiments TO QeIeT payment uue
Fl the troops returned to the United States

omitted such regiments when paying at
Santiago.
