w1KoFr A PERFECT CAMP.
So 1t Is Stated by Major Hersey-Tiffany's
Death-Lieut. Laf1erty.

Major Henry e. Hersey, of Santa Fe.
n. NJ, of the Roosevelt Rough Riders,
said the camp at Tama, Fla, was low
and fiat The troops were, he said,
wei supplied from the commissary and
other departments, but there were some
complaints of the bearing of the ply
stefan who was left with the squadron
at this point. He ascribed the sickness
of the men in Cuba to the climate and
the hardships Of the campaign. He had
come north to Wikoff on the Miami,
which was considered one of the worst
of the transports: but the voyage was
not characterized by any special dis
comforts. Camp Wikoff was the most
perfect camp he had ever seen. Asked
about the death of Tiffany. of TIC RoUgh
Riders, he said that Tiffany had yellow
fever and had suffered more from the
kindness of his friends in being taken
to Boston when he needed quiet than
he did from any other source.
Colonel James G. c. Lee, chief quar-
termaster at Camp Thomas, said that
his estimates for supplies all had been
met with remarkable degree of
promptitude. Colonel Lee dwelt upon
the natural difficulties of supplying an
army of Sc 600 who seemed to expect to
be able to turn a faucet and get every
thing they wanted upon the spur of the
moment. There were come articles of
which they were never able to get
sufficient suppIy-army trousers for in
stance. He did not believe that any
actual suffering had arisen on account
of the inefficiency of officers. The con-
tiguity of Chattanooga with it's saloons.
and the freedom with which the selling
of pies and cakes and beer in the camp
was permitted was" he said, a far
more prolific cause of disease, to my
mind, than the sleeping of the men on
the ground or any other cause that has
been suggested
. DIR. William w. Walker, the physician
who attended Lieutenant Lafferty in his
last illness at Camp Wikoff. has sent
an explanation of his Connection with the

ted the possibility of individual cases

that the vast majority of complaints
were exaggerated. if not without foun-
dation. They agreed in saying that no
army was ever so 2bundantly and lux
uriously supplied as was the American

by General Otis. and General Greene
felt safe in denying the report that there
had been collision with the railroad
authorities in choosing the site. He
had seen green coffee issued both in
Florida and at Manila. Comparing the
experience of his troops with those of
Turkey and Russia he said he had see0
more suffering in the Turkish army in
