AN AWFUL PICTURE,
The Eighth Ohio Made to Suffer Without
the Least Excuse, While Transports
Lay In the Harbor.

John Angus Mackaye, in the Plttsburg
Sunday Dlsp,toh, tells an awful story Of
the suffering In the Eighth Ohio, thanks
to the incompetenoy Of the war depart
ment and the inadequacy Of supplies and
medicines that ought to have arrived first.
The letter is dated August 3, When the
difficulties of the regiment were at their
worst. While there have been some
deaths since, the fever has about run its
course SO far as those who had It at that
time are concerned, but the picture
drawn shows what terrible sufferings were
imposed on the young men from Canton,
when there was not the slightest excuse
for keeping them there. In his letter
Macksye, who has been with the regi.
ment since it went into camp at Colum.

Yellow fever is ravaglng "McKinley's S

longer there will be nothing left to send
home. The regiment has nothing to do.

inanition. AS the cemetery under the
trees grows more populous, the men are
beginning to get afraid, and nameless
dread can be seen in the eyes of many.
The yellow fever is not of q malignant
type and should not prevent the regi-
ment being shipped north at once. Salts,
quinine, strychnia and oalomel seem TO
be the remedies most In use among the
regimental surgeons. There are trans
ports in the harbors, and no earthly
reason why the regiment should not be
sent home. The fever is not dangerous If
properly treated. But the men cannot
get the proper sort of food dysentery sets
in and death follows. The men want to
come home. The officers cannot under

Dr. Kennedy Of Gen. Skaters head
quarters called on the third battalion
and announced he hat been sent to see
If the regiment was clean enough in
health to go TO Porto Rico. He made
about five examinations Of six men. He
declared the sixth case genuine yellow
fever. Captain Lee who was escorting
them around told DR.. Kennedy that the
third battalion had no doctor attached TO
it. In view of that, he asked what
general course they ought TO follow with
those yellow fever patients until they
could get assistance or have the patients
sent to o hospital.
AS I am not going to treat these
men, said DR.. Kennedy, II have. no
suggestions to make.
This prevented the Eighth Ohio from
going to Porto Rico.
There is no effort being made to isolate
these cases. True, nobody sleeps with
them In the same shelter tent, but they
are within the camp lines The regi-
mental doctors are helpless against the
disease, DR.. Smith himself is sick, while
Major Farbuhar ami Hospital Steward
Mckinney are the only two left. This
means that young Mckinney has to visit
the third battalion daily and take the
responsibility Of all these lives on his
shoulders. The boys are falling like nine
pins on every side. Fewer report for
duty every day. Soon there won't be
enough to do the cooking and polics the
camp, and then death will be awful.
The regiment Is six miles from Santiago
and every man in the command can die
without anyone outside the two camps
being any wise. The services over the
dead are Of the simplest, Major vollrath
