for, has been the necessity OF such dieting
as the disease demands.
TT viii be observed that the conditions
set forth In this report are mainly pres
ent conditions. 1t has not heretofore
fallen within the range Of my duties at
this park to make critical observations OF
hospital conditions. AS matter or
course, many features Of this division OF
camp administration have fallen under
my notice.
II am constrained to believe that there
has been no neglect on the part either of
the medical or quartermaster depart
ments to furnish such supplies as have
reached the camp.
Undoubtedly there have been serious
Inconvenience and at times of the great
est crowdng these lacks of conveniences
and full attendance which go to make up
that painful condition Of affairs, which,
as every veteran knows, are inseparaDle
from the field hospitals of great armies.
even when all concerned exert themselves
to secure the comfort of the patients.
'"rhese are conditions which in times of
| rapid increase of diseased condition
which was reached at this camp solely,
| in my judgment. from the filth which too
| many of the regimental officers allowed
| to dominate their camps, in spite of the
| orders which would have prevented all
| this trouble. from the surgeon general
| and from the commanding officers of this
| camp.
$50 far from believing. as result of
my observa tions. that the medical officers
| have been heartless or negligent, believe
| that these officers and the hospital atten-
| dants. as a whole. have exerted them
| selves. to faithfully discharge their duties.
| 1t would seem as II this were sufficiently
| shown by the fact that they have worked
| increasingly until quarter of the whole
| force has itself been stricken by disease
| resulting from their exhausting labors.
'In closing I beg leave to express my
| opinion that most of the interviews with
| chapiains, regimental surgeons and 9TH
| ers, both officers and men. now appearing
at the North in many of the newspapers
| in regard to this camp. are reckless and
| false except as to the filthy conditions
| which their own criminal neglect has
caused. In my judgment. the recent in
| crease in the Outcries and persistent as
| sertion that the park is unhealthy have
been largely and deliberately used to stir
up sentiment and influence which would
| be exerted to insure their relief from
service.

HENRY CUT MS THROAT.

the Mans Lie.

Paris, Aug. 31.-Lieut. Col. Henry
cut his throat with a razor he had con-
| cealed in his valise.
| During the recent Zola trial. Henry

| Henry was wounded.
The next scene occurred in the
Chamber of Deputies, where Col Pic
quart proclaimed the letter a forgery
| and as result was arrested, while
| Henry's villany was rewarded by his
being appointed Col. Picquarts sue
| cessor in the intelligence department
1t is now evident that Henry forged
| the letter with the express object of
| paralyzing Col. Picquart's efforts to
expose Major Count Esterhazy and to
secure rehearing of the Dreyfus case
The letter was written in bad French,
fact which first led it to be regarded
as spurious
1t is said that if the cabinet decides
upon revision of the Dreyfus case, NJ
Cavignac. minister of war, will resign
The scene of Col. Henry's avowal
was most painful. When he saw Il
was almost useless to deny further his
tongue grew to thick for his mouth and
ne was unable to speak. 1t was feared
that he would have an apoplecti.

After his arrest he was permitted to
visit his wife. while on mis- way to the
fortress at Mount Valerain. She
thought he really had fit. He ad-
