Unfit For Service.
Washington. Aug. 9.-General Shat
ter telegraphed the president regard
ing the publication Of the "round robin
signed by the general officers of his
command as follows:
Il can very readily see what intense
excitement the publication. must have
occaslOned-a great deal more than the
situation warranted. Situation Is great
ly aggravated from the fact that be-
fore! anv Of. the men were taken Ill
they were thoroughly exhausted. At
least rs per cent. OF the command had
heen down with 'malarial fever, from
which they recover very slowly and are
in no condition to stand an attack. of
yellow fever or dysentery. Placed here
now in the condition in which they
were when they came here, I do
not believe they would be In any
particular danger. The regiment of
immunes that recently arrived Is not
suffering at all. and l do not believe
they will. They can keep out of the
sun, are well clothed and well fed.
What put my command In it's present
condition was the twenty days of the
campaign when they had nothing but
meat, bread and coffee, without change
of clothes. without any shelter whatev-
er, and during the period twice as
stormy as it has been since the surren-
der. Fresh troops reaching here In the
middle of. August, with good camps,
good water abundance of tentage,
which they will find here, need not ap-
prehend serious danger"

'"There is no excuse for lack Of food,
rs there has at all times been plenty
Of that. have no doubt that many
more were put on the ship than should
have been, owing to the great desire to
get home. as they had the fear Of yell
low fever. and were almost wholly
without hospital accommodation.
''The sick and wounded had only the
clothing on that they wore into battle,
and of course that was ragged and
worn out bv the time they reached
home. There was none to issue to
them at the time they left, and their
own extra clothing they could not get
at. There has never been a case of
suffering here that could be remedied
by the means at hand that was not at
tended to- The surgeons have worked
as well as any men that ever lived,
and their complaint has been uniyer-
sal of lack of means and facilities.
From the day the forces left Tampa
until the present time there have never
been sufficient medical attendants or
medicines for the daily wants of the
command. Three times since reaching
Cuba has the command been almost
entirely without medicines"
