Camp Wikoff. Even at Santiago. he
had found that the experts We're unable
to determine whether a patient haG yell
low fever. He thought it would have
peen cruel to send the men home with
IN I'VE days after their landing, as DR..
Jenkins had suggested
AS matter Of fact, many of them
We're sick men and needed attention
IN the hospitals. They would have
fallen sick on the trains and attracted
general attention to the situation. The
distress was due to the condition of
the men and not to the Typographical
or climatic condition. Ninety per cent
had the fever in them, anG the officers
suffered as much as the men.
Replying to other allegations made
by the World, Gen. Wheeler gave the
details of the arrival of troops from
Cuba He did not think the hospitals
were crowded. If the sick men were
without blankets or without shelter, he
had not known the fact, and if he had
known such a want he would have sup
piled it. No request was made to fur
nish cots to the soldiers, but as soon
as possible floors were put in the tents
and they were all given straw beds,
but in the beginning there were many
tents without floors. If the men had
not blankets, the fault must have been
either that of the men or their COM
handing officers.
In such cases as this last named,
there was no red tape; the men were
supplied Immediately. He mentioned
one case in which he had telegraphed
to New York for four carloads Of med
icine, and it had arrived on the even
ing Of the next day. If there had been
any complaints about blankets, the
wants could have been almost immedi-
ately supplied.
He had read to the, regular soldiers
the assertion that they had been in an
almost starving condition, and they
laughed at the report. The men assert
ed that the only trouble was that they
had too much, and as a matter Of fact
no soldiers had ever been so well sup
piled. Cen Wheeler asserted that it was
true some Of the employees had used
articles intended for the sick, and he
had been told by some ladies that ply
sicians had used some of the articles,
including appollinaris water provided
for the hospital. He had issued an or
der for the arrest of those engaged in
such practice. He had himself seen a
boy distributing oranges among his
fellows.
There were" he said, Undoubtedly
individual cases of suffering and OF
neglect, but they were the exception -
He had investigated the charge that
the hospitals were overcrowded, and he
was satisfied that such was not the
case, He made almost daily visits to the
hospitals and if he had found them
overcrowded the deficiency would have
been made good Immediately.
We had no red tape in this or any
other matter said the general, but we
ordered thing done and it was done.
Our aim at Wikoff was to supply the
necessities Of the men and we attempt
ed to do so without resorting to the
formalities necessary in time of peace
At o'clock the commission adjourned
until tomorrow. Gen. Wheeler will re
sumo his testimony at 1890 tomorrow
and win probably be followed by Gen
H. V. Boynton.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has notified the
committee that he will not be able to
appear before Thursday.
