Men Brought by the Roumania Over
crowd Montauk Hospital.
AUTHORITIES DID NOT EXPECT THEM
Two. Soldiers Died While Being
Taken to the Detention Quarters.
DEPARTURE OF TROOPS

CAMP WIKOFF, Montauk Point, L. l..
September 5.-The transport Roumania,
which arrived yesterday morning with 600
troops from Santiago, was the means of
an additional test of the capacity of the
hospital in the detention camp.
Of the 600 men on the Roumania about
200 were SO sick that they had to be put in
the hospital. The authorities of the de-
tention hospital, although they knew of the
transports arrival, had received no notice
as to the number of sick men they would
be expected to care for At about o'clock
the ambulances with the sick men began
to arrive at the hospital.
The detention hospital will accommodate
400 men, with eight cots to a tent, which
is the normal capacity. By putting ten
cots in each tent $50 patients can be taken
care Of but with corresponding decrease
of comfort.
At the time of the arrival of the sick
men from the Roumania the hospital al
reaGy had nearly 600 men, and these POD
additional ones sweled the number to
about 800, 240 more than the hospital COM
fortably can hold.
No Room for the Sick
Although there was enough cots for the
500 sick soldiers, there was not the space
under canvas to place them. Therefore, as
a mattress on the floor takes up less space
than cot, number of patients were
taken from cots and placed upon mattress
es on the floor and the cots removed.
Mattresses were also placed between cots
on the floor. Consequently this morning
about go men are lying on mattresses on
the floor, because of the lack of tent space
The detention hospital needs about fifty
more tents. 1t does not look as though the
construction department put up more
than ten or fifteen tents today: conse-
quently 1t is probable that some men will
have TO lie on the floor for several days
While the sick men were being taken
from the Roumania to the detention hos
pital two of them died. They were:
Dorsas Broomer, private, Company f,
18th Regular Infantry.
Albert Pickworth, private, Company C,
33d Michigan Volunteers.
The Departures.
The sick of the 9th Massachusetts Vol
unteers will start for Boston this after
noon on the steamer Lewiston.
few of the sick of the I'd Massachusetts
will be taken to New London today by the
steamer Alert.
With the departure of these, only a hand
full of Massachusetts men will remain in
the camp.
Miss Helen Gould has notified the hos
quarters for twenty sick soldiers at her
place at Irvington-on- the Hudson That
NUMBER OF sick men will be sent there
The following died in the general hospital

GREAT SUFFERING IN CUB
General Nunez Says That There is Almost
Nothing to Sustain Life.
The War Being Suspended the Sol
diers Can No Longer Forage
Should he Paid and Disbanded,

Gen. Nunez of the Cuban army, who
some time ago went from this country WITH
supplies for Gen. Gomez, has just arrived
at Washington, and today had an inter.
view with the assistant secretary of war
He reports a situation in Cuba which de,
mands immediate attention. The war be-
ing suspended it is not now lawful for the
Cuban army to forage upon the country
and consequently their source of supplies
is cut entirely off and they are in dis
tressful situation.
In this connection an explanation is given
of the trouble given by Spanish custom
house officials about the landing of sup
plies. The Spanish do not want the sup
plies to get through to the insurgents and
to the suffering civilians within the sphere
occupied by the insurgents. If they can
have tie supplies turned over TO them they
can have them distributed in their own
way. To overcome this difficulty the Gu
ed as they have been heretofore at times
without the formality of going through the
hands of Spanish custom house officers.
Gen. Nunez said today: Il have just re-
turned from the coast of Cuba, where
went with some supplies for Gen. Gomez
L went first to Punta Allegro and to Yagu-
yaZ and, not finding Gen. Gomez there,
went to CarDarien, where | communicated d

live on but mangoes and such few things
as they can pick up.
The soil has not been cultivated and the
crops are exhausted. Beth the soldiers and
the inhabitants are suffering. The war be.
ing suspended it is not lawful for the army
to forage and the few small patches thai
are planted they have no right to take
want to have relief sent tc them as soon as
possible, for their condition is terrible. We
want, too, to have the army paid some
thing and disbanded. They have no money
or food; there has been no business the
there is no way that they can live foI
awhile after they are disbanded. Just al
the close of the war now, with everything
destroyed, the situation Is worse for the
time being than during the actual warfare
For the army to be disbanded and turned
loose upon the country without food OF
money would lead to a. desperate state ol
affairs. A-e, 4.
DepOts of Supplies.
I'VE want to have depots of supplies pro-
vided for the immediate relief of the
Cubans, and to give the soldiers some OF
their pay SO that they can be disbanded and
set about to sustain themselves. 1t viii
take perhaps about twenty millions to pay
off the army and we want to arrange tC
have this done against the credit of the
new government to be established. Wher
the new stable government is established
provision can be made in it's establishment
for the payment of this obligation. This
will enable the disbandfng of the army
and the restoration of the industry ano

the situation will be desperate.

A CHAPLAIN To BE TRIED.
Rev. Mr.. Mcintyre Criticized Officers
and Men Not the Oregon.

Ever since the printed reports of the
sensational utterances of Naval Chap
lain Joseph p. Mcintyre reached the Navy
Department. the officials have been making
a quiet inquiry into the accuracy OF the
newspaper publications. The chaplain, who
was attached TO the Oregon and was on
beard when the battle of July 3 was fought.
was accredited with some savage criticism
of Admiral Sampson, Captain Evans ana
various other of the officers of the Ameri-
can fleet, insisting that to the officers and
men of the Oregon alone belonged the vic
tory achieved over the Spanish squadron
He was particularly severe on Captain Rob-
ley D. Evans whom he charged with
cewardice. Apparently the Navy Depart
me MT has now satisfied itself that the chap
lain really uttered the language ascribed
TO him, for it has ordered his trial by
court-martial on charges to the prejudice
of good order and discipline and unbecom-
ing an officer. The chaplain is now on leave
of absence in Denver.
