WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Complaints
Of war department mismanagement are
on the increase. One Of the complaints
which has been made was In regard
to the Eighth New York at Chicka-
mauga. It Is stated at the war de-
partment that Gen. Boynton, in COM
mand at Chickanlauga, had been or
dered to make a thorough and COM
plete investigation of the hospitals at
that place to ascertain how the men
have Jared and report all the facts to
the department. If there has been any
shortcomings, he Is instructed to ascer-
tain who is responsible and to include
the names Of those found faulty in his
report.
There seems to have been neglect in
carrying out the order Of the depart
ment, No. 116 which allowed 60 cents
day to all soldiers in hospitals. the
amount to be general fund, from
which could be drawn money to pur-
chase the delicacies and necessaries for
the sick soldiers. This order is dated
Aug. 10. According to the records Of
the surgeon generals Office, it was re-
ce1Ved there on the 18th and sent out
to the various officers on the 18th. It
should have reached those officers on
the 17th, especially those along the At
lantic seaboard. 1t seems, however.
that, if 1t did reach them, it was dis
regarded by many surgeons. The sur
geon generals Office complains that
other orders sent out have not receiv-
ed the attention which should have
been given them. This order. No. 116.
IT is said, was not only sent out
through the surgeon generals office,
but was sent direct from the adjutant
generals office to the commanding Of
flcers In various camps. II it has not
been carried out 1t Is declared the
fault has been with the officers in COM
mand and the surgeons in charge of
hospitals. It Is probable an investiga-
tion will be made at. once to see
whether THE order has been disregard-
ed, and why.
Officers of the war department depre-
cate the manner in which complaints
have been made, on the ground that
the whole matter will discredit the
American army and have a bad effect
on discipline. The soldiers, they say,
will be made to believe that they have
been badly treated, that they are be-
Ing imposed upon, and at some juno
ture 1t may result in mutiny and in
subordfnation, for the reason that the
troops, in case Of some order which
seems especially hard, will take mat
ters into their own hands, claiming
the people are with them It is claimed
that, If the stories are all true, it will
indicate that the American army is Of
little account and cannof bear hard
ships.
