After Boynton,s Whitewash.

The first use of the whitewash brush
was in the unskilled hands of Cen
eral BoyntOn, in relation to Camp
Thomas. The calcimined journals pro-
fessed themselves charmed with the
character of the whitewash and the
artistic manner of its application,
though they busted themselves with
explaining away the sick and death fig
ures that shone through the wash.
This, they affirmed. would be conclu-
sive, and no more would wildcat
newspaper" rs"-which is the term the
mercenary apologists applied to nine
tenths of the respectable and honorable
journals of the country-cry out against
the slaughter of heroes.
Whitewash is a good disinfectant, but
not the best; and it fails when the in
fection is very serious. In spite of the
lime used by General Boynton, the
number of sick and dead increased in
the past four weeks at a rate that
made ii unsafe to ignore the conditions
that General Boynton said did not ex-
| ist. So an investigation board, con-
sisting of three brigadier generals
two, at least. experienced regular army
officers-was appointed and its report
| was published this morning
The board reports that all the water
is bad unless boiled; that the sanitary
conditions of all the camps, with few
exceptions are bad, and that malaria
and typhoid are on the increase: that
much sickness would have been avoid
ed if the men had not been forced to
sleep on the ground, but in hoored
tents, as is the custom in the regular
army; that neither the regimental dis
pensaries nor the division hospitals are
equal to the present emergency, ''and
the system appears to have broken
down in a vain experiment" In con-
clusion, 1.-THE board is of opinion that it
is too late to remedy the present con-

them poorer in purse as well as in
health, from the service of humanity,
to take up the quiet pursuits of civil
life for gaining daily bread. There is
not much that We of more common clay
can do for them in the way of honors.
They have giorified their lives by their
service, and our poor praises can only
honor ourselves. 1t is something in our
favor that we have a sense of their
value and of the fact that they alone
have done anything to make the gen

There Are Others.

There are people who seem to fancy
that near'y all the hardships of the
war have fallen to the share of our
land forces, while the tackles" and the
''jollies" of the navy have had a com
paratively easy time of it on comfort
able ships, chewing the weedy cud Of
reflection, plunking the banjo, and oc-
casionally splicing the mainbrace in
inclement weather. Indeed, some per-
sons imagine life on the blockading
squadron before Santiago to have ap
proximated the ideal conditions de-
scribed by the bard, as existing upon
that fabulous craft, the good ship

ger pops were conveniently on all

There is not a doubt but that our
soldiers have had enough to endure.
but il would be wrong to shut our eyes
TO the fact that our sailors have had
something to bear as well. An officer
who served in Admiral Schley's squad
ron tells The Times that, during the
weary weeks preceding the battle of
the third of July, watch and ward
was kept so incessantly and strictly
that for many days together the aver
age sleep was about two hours out of
forty. and then the heat was so intense
below that anything like rest was all
but impossible.
The night watching for Cervera's
torpedo boats taxed the staying quail
ties of officers and men to the utmost
Our informant states that, on one OF
the hagships, and in daytime at that
he counted one hundred and twenty
six lookouts This will afford some
idea of the strain that must have been
on at night.
If the service was hard on the block
ade, it was something fearful for at
least some of the men on each vessel
when the time for action came. In the
pursuit and destruction of the Spanish
squadron. when the ships were racing
under forced draught the heat in the
boiler rooms was so great that the
fremen could not live in it for more
than short time. and they had TO be
relieved at frequent intervals Ihe
same state of things obtained OF the
enemys ships, of course, but the Span
iards. with customary cruelty, did not
heed the sufferings of their tiremen.
When our people went on board the
Cristobal Colon after its surrender
they found five men lying dead at the
deck entrance to the fire room. where
they had been murdered by their Of
ficers for coming up for breath of
air.
There has bsen a grand lot of silent,
heroic endurance on the part Of our
naval heroes. whether in shoulder
straps or shirts, and the fact should
not be forgotten by the country.
