evening came. He met Ayers between
six and seven o'clock on the railroad

while Smith, who was brought to his
senses By the realization of what he

Ayers was taken to his lyme and
medical aid summoned. Upon making
an examination it was found that he
had been stabbed twice near the heart
and a cash over six inches long had
been inflicted on the left side of his
body. The attending physicians enter
tanned very little hopes of his recov-

three wounds are sufficient to cause
his death

New York, Sept. 4. The World
prints an interview with Gen. William
K. Shafter in which he is represented
as saying:
AT Santiago we had { o deal with
things as they were. not as they should
be. OF course there was sickness. II
was inevitable in n summer cam
paign. But nobody was neglected.
The doctors We're scarce at first, but
we had boat loads OF them as soon as
they could get there. The doctors got
sick like the rest. They were over
worked and exhausted. But their abii-
it, is unqueStionabie. Look at the low
percentage of deaths from wounds. 1t
never was lower in any war. Why, in
the civil war, / lay on the battlefield
myself until maggots developed in my
wounds, and that was right near by,
not in Il malariouS, subtropical coun-
try far away.
The men who ordered a summer
campaign in a fever infested country
are responsible for the natural and un-
ayOidable consequences. None of Il
wounded were allowed to lie on the
battlefield, as | was. in the civil war.
Nothing of the kind happened. An
aesthetics were plentiful. 1t was the
heat that was so deadly. And the
rains. Right i'll the midst of the most
tOrrid heat a shower would ALI. 1t
would drench everybody without cool
ing the air. In a few minutes, under,
the sun again, every man would be
SteamiEg. Men Of the strongest con
StitutionS succumbed. We had to
choose the lesser of the two eviis-to
ship the me north to n healthy eli
mate, no wantin gto keep them where
they must die. We at the front did not
wait TO let the fever have its run. We
wanted to save life. Now, the problem
was to save the most lives possible.
We never had a foreign war since
1S12-l4. The United States has no
hospital ships. 1t was not a question
of using what was best. but what we
had. We used the transports that
brought the troops down.
IF | could have had Il few weeks TO
equip hospital ships the condition
would have been better. IL the war
had continued VT would have stayed
right there, fever or no fever. The
sudden end of the war was unexpect-
ed. We We're not prepared for the un-
expected. made Ii an unvariable
rule To send home % per cent less men
on a transport than she brought south.
That was n fair view to take. | am
satisfied with the Santiago campaign.
When it is fully understood, with all
it's difficulties, il will receive just place
in military history. We were hurried
off to Cuba. We landed, and could
not have got our stores back on board
ship if we had wanted TO. When the
invasion was planned 1t was obvious
that it must be Il rush. Such IL was.
And II was Il success-complete and
unequivocal. Many things were done,
it is true. that was forced upon us by
the exigencies of the hour, but the
means employed even under such
stress proved to be wisely chosen. l
was compelled to do u great many
things that under different circum-
stances would not have been consid-
