Still another complaint has come In re-
gard to the incompetence Of the medical
corps with Skaters army at Santiago.
The story of the conditions on the trans
port Santiago IS similar to that told by
the sufferers on the Seneca, Alamo,
LeOHa, and the Concho. Stanhope Sans,
the correspondent of the New York Times.
himself a convalcscent on the Santiago,
has written that paper as follows:
We reached Tampa bay yesterday and
went into quarantine at EgmOnt Key to-
day. The reason we did not come ashore
yesterday and enter quarantine at once
was that the War Department did not
think il worth while % make any pre-
paration for the feeding and proper treat
ment Of $50 sick men.
IL sent these men, one third Of whom
are cOnvalesceut from yellow-fever, and
all OF whom are suffering and too weak
to take care of themselves. on a voyage
Of four days without physicians and with
out proper food and made apparently no
effort TO have them cared for when they
reached our shores The agonies endured
by these victims OF the Cuban climate
during their voyage, when they had TO
eat the ordinary army ratlons, and had
no medicine 10 alleviate their constant
suffering. were awful 10 behold The two
sick physicians aboard. DR.. Guiteras and
DR.. Vaughan. were powerless 10 lessen
the pain OF the invalids They themselves
needed attention and care and rest, but
had 10 work night and day because no
physician had been detailed to accompany
the sick.
After a most distressing voyage, in
which many OF the convalescents and
other fever cases had grown worse be-
cause OF the unnecessary hardships they
had endured the Santiagos sick eagerly
hailed the first sight Of our shores. They
expected confidently that they would at
once be received into comfortable quar-
tiers, have all their wants attended 10, and
get. after a half famine OF six weeks.
good food and necessary medicines. But
these small details had been overlooked.
The station-keepers at Egmont Key knew
no more OF our whereabouts than if We
had been making a voyage in the upper
teaches of the Congo.
AN UNF FURNISHED HOSPITAL
The ship is really hospital without the
usual corps Of physicians and nurses and
the comforts that tighten the burdens Of
the sick. True to the plan OF managing
the ambulance and medical work OF the
