GENERAL BOYNTON
FINDS ALL SERENE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-A few days
ago Secretary Alger issued an order to
General H. V. Boynton, now at Chick
amauga Park, to make thorough and
searching investigation Of all the hos
pitfalls 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-
ton was directed to the sensational
charges made by one DIR. 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. Tonight the
following telegram, under date of Aug
ust %, was received by Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin from General Boynton:
Have completed examination Of hos
pitfalls. Results exceedingly favorable
in all essential features. The facts eff
fectually dispose Of all recent sensa-
tional adverse criticism. Report will be
written out Tomorrow"
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
vestfgation has been thorough and it's
results, as he states them, are accurate

STILL BRINGING THE
SICK FROM SANTIAGO

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug 2S.-The
transport Roumanian will leave for Mon
tauk Point tomorrow morning with $50
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 tomorrow
for Guantanamo, Baracoa and Sagua for
the Spanish prisoners there. The con-
dition of the men is distressing.
The transport knickerbrocker arrived
this morning with the Second Battalion
of the Fifth Infantry. The Second and
Third Battalions of Rays Second I'm
mune Regiment will leave tomorrow 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
XIII. Over 200 Santiago refugees ar
rived from Jamaica to-day and others are
coming soon, now that peace is restored.

SAN MARCOS BRINGS
TROOPS FROM TAMPA

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-The transport
San Marcos, which sailed from Tampa
August 20 and from Key West August
p, 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
men aboard was $40, of which fifteen
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 anchored until daylight, when she
proceeded up the bay to quarantine.
Deputy Health Officer Sanborn boarded
the transport and after a brief inspec
ton 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
Wikcf. One artilleryman is reported
sick with measles. 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 GONZALES
cents from the general army hospitals
at Key West and Tampa. Ten were
sent to the New York Hospital, one to
Governors Island 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 Governors Island, as
the field hospital on the island Is
crowded. He is suffering from melan-
cholia, having lost his voice and hear
ing as the result of 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 1t 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 received their pay for two months.
There are 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 Incl
dent.
Among the sick and wounded volun-
teers brought to this city are: John 2.
Hall, A. II. Denham, Thomas w. Wig
gins. John r. Kean, Thomas Cava-
naugh, NJ P. Mathanicar, James M.
Dean, Stephen Easton Of the First Cav
airy and Thomas G. Jones of the Third
Texas.

PENNSYLVAN BOYS
ARE WELL CARED FOR

CINCINNATI, Aug. 2S.-After the
middle of last week Governor Hast
ings of Pennsylvania raised $4,000 cash
in thirty minutes in Philadelphia to
equip a hospital train to bring home
the sick of Pennsylvania regiments
from Chickamagua. A train of
eighteen hospital cars was equipped
and started for Chickamaugs .rith as
founding promptness. To-ntght 1t ar
rived homeward bound with 211 Penn
sylvania soldiers, 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
tonight he filed 164 kilograms 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 officials who wanted them to wait for
transcript of their muster rolls.
Fourteen soldiers, too Ill to leave, were
left in the Red Cross hospital.

There were to-day reported in all $40
cases of typhoid fever In all hospitals
