TNVALIDS SENT HOME.
Gen. Shafter Denies That He is
RESPONSIBLE,

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-General
Shafter in a report to the War Depart
ment emphatically denies that he is
responsible for the inadequate provision
made for the sick and wounded brought
from Santiago de Cuba to the United
States on the Seneca and Concho.
Everything possible, he says, was sent
with the sick and wounded. The mat
ter of shortage of water, he says. Is in
excusable. He concludes his report as
follows:
There is no excuse for lack of food,
as there has at all times been plenty of
that. / have no doubt that many more
were put on the ship than should have
been, owing to the fear of yellow fever
and were almost wholly without hos
pital accommodation. The sick and
wounded had only the clothing on that
that was ragged and worn out by the
time they reached home. There was
none to issue to them ait the time they
left and their own extra clothing they
could not get at. There has never been
a case of suffering here that could be
remedied by the means at hand that
was not attended to. The surgeons have
worked as we'll as any men that ever
lived and their complaint has been lack
Of means and facilities
Il do not complain of this, for no
one could have forseen all that would
be required, but would object to having
the onus laid on me for the lack Of
these hospital facilities.

Hampered by the Commanding Gen.

Lofty Purposes Of the Red Gross Society on
Santiago Expedition Suhverted to In
dividuaI Purposes, Though Nurses
Rendered Great Service.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Surgeon
General Sternberg has received the fol-
lowing report concerning the conditions
existing at Santiago. The report ex-
plains what has been done by the Med
ical Department and gives the disad-
vantages under which the department
operated in Cuba:
Tampa flights (F'la.), July %, 1898.
'To the Surgeon General, u. S. A.,
Washington-Sir: In view of the re-
cent charges made affecting the eff
cient army medical department at
Santiago, and especially with reference
to the conditions prevailing on the hos
pital transports sent north with wound
ed, l have the honor to submit the
following facts, believing that my po-
sition as Adjutant to the Chief Sur
geon of the Fifth Corps, and as the
officer in charge of the outfitting of the
hospital transports Iroquois, Cherokee
and Breakwater. may possibly give val
ue to such report.
Drugs, medicines, dressings, instru-
ments, hospital tentage and supplies
were loaded on the transports at Tampa
in quantities sufficient to meet the
needs of the Santiago expedition. These
supplies We're divided upon the various
vessels, each organization having its
own equipment. While the bulk of the
supplies was with the organized hos
pitals, the regimental equipment was
largely in excess of it's needs, and was
intended to be called in to supplement
if necessary, the equipment of these
hospitals.
The landing on Cuban soil was made
as rapidly as possible, each organic
alton accompanied by the medical at
tendance assigned to it, and troops
were pushed forward with no other
equipment and supplies than could be
carried by the soldiers. Having no
means Of transportation for even their
field chests, the regimental medical Off
GERS had absolutely no resources at
their command except such as were
provided by the orderly and hospital
corps pouches and the first aid packets
carried by the soldiers.

of the Cabinet as members of the COM
mission, there are precedents for their
appointment, notably the treaty of
Ghent
In some quarters it is being urged
that so long as Spain accepts the es-
sential principle required by the United
States, the disposition here will be to
deal with the defeated enemy in gen.
erous spirit on minor details. 1t is
probable that this will be the view pre-
sented by the French ambassador, in
case the Spanish reply is not simple,
categorical acceptance of the American
terms. On the other hand, it is be-
lieved that a response which opens up
diplomatic controversy. and gives the
conditions a much broader scope than
as originally framed at Washington,
may not meet with approval here. For
instance, the Madrid advices seem to
imply that the answer is based on an
immediate cessation of hostilities, but
the view among officials here is that
hostilities will progress steadily until
the American conditions progress en-
tirely beyond the stage of possible dip
lomatic complication over details. There
is strong disposition in some infiuen-
tial quarters to have hostilities continue
until the actual evacuation of Havana
and Porto Rico begins by the embarka-
ton of Spanish troops. 1t is probable
that the Spanish reply will be in the
hands of the Government in time for
consideration at the regular Cabinet
meeting tomorrow morning. when the
sufficiency or insufficiency of the re-
sponse can be determined.

stating that the news of the discovery
is regarded as being reliable, although
it is considered that the account of the
size Of the cavern is most likely eXag-
gerated, as the word came over the
phone that Ole Of the men threw rock
into the cavity and that it was two
minutes before the stone touched bot
tom, which is big story in itself, as a
stone or any heavy substance would
doubtless fall depth of two miles in
two minutes, if opportunity afforded
There is no doubt, however, but that a
big cave has been broken into in the
Bullion-Bect Tunnel ground, and the
occurrence is considered as a favorable
indication by the officers of the COM
pany, as large bodies OF good ore usu-
ally accompany these freaks of nature.
Advices regarding the discovery re-
ceived last night were to the effect that
all kinds of rumors are afloat regarding
it, one of these being to the effect that
the sides of the cave are lined with
glistening ore, while in certain circles
it is believed that the cave is nothing
more than the workings of the Utah,
adjoining. or of some other old mine.
which had been extended beyond their
rightful boundary lines; others leaning
to the belief that the cave is the re-
discovery Of some old Spanish mine.
At any rate, the find is the sensation
of the day at Eureka and in Tintic dis
trict, and it will be thoroughly explored
at an early date.

THE KING SOLOMON.
Vein of Collaborating Rock Exposed
In This Promising Ogden Mine.

Up in the grand old Wasatch range,
about u miles north of Ogden, is the
King Solomon mine, property owned
by California capitalists, but which is
being managed by Don Mcguire, the
noted metallurgi and geologist of Og-
cen.
Mr.. Mcguire, who is a frequent Wis
itor to the capital city, was to be seen
on the streets of Zion for a short time
yesterday and in speaking of the King
Solomon to a representative of The
Herald he stated that an important
strike had been made in this property
of late, not because of the fact that the
mineral encountered was gold bearing,
but owing to the Importance attached
to the finding of the vein where it was
believed to exist, the statement being
made that in the face of an 10S-foot
drift driven from the breast of the 600
foot tunnel in the mine, strong ledge
had been disclosed which had been
croSs-cut distance of two feet before
the departure of Mr.. Mcguire for his
home, the indications being that the
deposit is all of eight or ten feet in
width. the metallic values of which
average in the neighborhoed of 2 per
cent lead, an ounce in silver and Sc in
gold to the ton.
1t is now the intention to drift on the
vein with its junction with an immense
body of white spar, which is gold bear
ing on the surface and which is be-
lieved to gain greater value with depth.
Mr.. Mcguire informs The Herald that
in the vicinity of the King Solomon
there are evidences of ancient mine
workings, and he is of the opinion that
a century or two ago the Mexicans or
Spaniards or prehistoric race had
mined in that region for the precious
metals.
The articles in The Herald relative to
the alleged discovery of the old
Josephene mine in the neighborhood of
Kamas, we're read with much interest
by Mr.. Mcguire and it is more than
likely that he may soon visit the scene
of the re-discovery, and as he is well
posted in ancient history as far as Utah
and the west is concerned he may be
able to throw some light on what is
now believed to be something rather
mysterious.
