COMMENTS OF THE WOUNDED
Every officer and soldier in the Sturgs Favil-
ion at Bellevue Hospital is singing the praises
of Captain Robert W. Dowdy. retired United
States officer, and Miss Jennings. John Shee-
han of Company D. 7th United States Infantry
while passing up the East River on the Fidel-
ity said II would willingly lay down my Ire
for Captain Dowdy The wav that man worked
for the wounded was a blessing. And Miss Jen-
nings-God bless her-she was an angel rms
sentiment was echoed by every man on Doaru
the Fidelity. .
Sheehan said that he was transferred from the
Relief to the Seneca. ION the Seneca, he con-
tinued 1.-THE men were half-dressed was al
most dying for drink Of cold water We were
two days out on the Seneca. and had nothing
but warm water and bareback. There were
only two doctors on board and Miss Jennings
She almost worked herself TO death. But ana
every soldier on board that boat want to thank
Captain Dowdy for the way he worked over us
poor fellows. m
Captain Dowdy retired. but sui ne
volunteered TO act as nurse for us. and ne diu,
He worked twenty four hours a day, ana saved
many q life. The only thing the captain couid
not do was to get us cold water. For water we
nearly died and would have done so had not
the boat touched at Hampton Roads.
When asked II he was treated roughly ne said:
NO the treatment was all right. but the stuii
wasn't there to treat us with. What we wanted
was cold water. and-goodness. that Is cheap
but then IL was mighty dear" The other men
also corroborated Sheehan about the treatment
on the Seneca.
As the Fidelity drew near the Brooklyn Bridge
there was q strange spectacle. Some one shout-
ed There's the Bridge, There's the BRIDGE!
Those who could lmped to the windows or the
cabin and those on the floor feebly asked those
at the windows 10 get away so that they could
see the Bridge Eight Of the men are severely
wounded and very weak. Ten or the men are
severely wounded. but have splendid vitality
and were not badly used up by the voyage In
the Seneca. The remainder are wourded In the
leg or arm.

There does not appear to be the slightest question
about the legality of the capture Of the two ships
now at Pier No 20, East River. The owners OF the
Catalina and the Miguel Jover say, however. that
as President Mckinley gave the ships In the ports
OF Cuba certain number OF days to get out. and
as these two captured ships had left Spain before
the declaration Of war they should not have been
captured, but should merely have been ordered not
10 enter the Cuban ports.
