the regiment was stationed at Arizona, for
shoes, clothing, hats and blankets. and
which must have weighed several thousand
pounds, was shipped to me by express,
thus causing the supplies to reach me four
days sooner than they would If shipped by
freight.
The medical officers of the regiment
have never complained of a lack of medi-
cine supplies, nor has the quartermaster
or the commissary ever made complaints
that they could not get their requisitions
promptly filled.
THE regiment is well equipped in every
way. This fact will be patent when 1 say
that. in the early part of July the regiment
was mustered into the service and con-
tanned 1908 officers and men. Up to the
present date it has lost but three men by
death and has now over 1,20O officers and
men ready for duty
Col. McCord, in response to questions
by Col. DENLY. the only member of the
commission who was present. stated that
his regiment reached Jacksonville Septem-
ber 2S and had been there ever since
The members of the regiment had found
their camp al Jacksonville a little muddy
part of the time during their stay In it.
but otherwise 1t was altogether salts
factory.
Supplied With Necessaries.
Col. DENLY inquiring the manner regard
ing which commissary, quartermaster and
medical supplies were furnished, Col Nc
Cord said:
I'VE were supplied with everything we
were entitled to and everything that we
wanted Perhaps there We're some unlm-
portant things that I asked for that were
not delivered, but l do not remember any
such case"
Col. Denby-'How about your medical
supplies?"
Col. McCord-'I heard no complaint from
our surgeons regarding any lack of sup
plies"
Col. Denby-'How about the health of
your regiment
Col. McCord-"The health of the regiment
has been exceptionally good. Out of 3OS
men only three deaths has occurred One
death was from typhoid fever, while we
We're at Fort Whipple Another death
from pneumonia at Camp Hamilton was
caused by the mans own careessness he
having got drunk and then lain out of doors
all night A third death was from pneu-
monla at Camp Hamilton"
Illness of the Commissioners.
The war investigating commission dur
ing its southern trip suffered a good deal Of
illness among its members Col DENLY
was taken III and returned to Washington
two weeks before the commission left the
south, and he is still under the care Of his
doctor and Is taking medicine constantly.
Gen. McCook is also quite Ill, and yester-
day he was confined to his bed, or at least
TO his room, at the Columbian University
Hospital. Maj. Mills, the army officer who
has acted as recorder of the commission
Is very Ill indeed. While in Cuba he suffer
ed from fever and since that time has not
been In robust health, and the southern
trip or the commission resulted in a COM
piete collapse. Nearly every member of
the commission caught cold during the trim
and altogether they had rather an unpleas-
ant time.
