DEFICIENCIES IN CAMP
Surgeon from chickamauga Park
Testifies to the War Office
Commission.
HOSPITAL WAS SHORT OF MEDICINE

Nurses Unframed - Trouble with the
Sinks, Also-Complaint of Governor of
Arkansas-Doctor Thought 1t Impossi-
BILE That 1t Could BE Correct-Crowding
of the Second Division Hospital.
Washington, Oct. IA. - Lieutenant
Colonel ]. C. Hon was before the war
investigating commission yesterday. He
is a regular army officer and was chief
surgeon in the Third army corps at
Camp Thomas, Chickamauga. He said
he did not consider the camp to have
been in the best sanitary condition. but
expressed the opinion that it was the
best II could be under the circum-
stances. The men were encamped some
what closer to each other than they
should properly have been, and it had
been impossible without blasting to
make the sinks deep as good SANTA
ton required. owing to a layer of lime
stone below the surface of the ground.
Furthermore IL was impossible to COM
pei men to use the sinks. Every effort
had been made to have the sinks prop
erly covered and disinfected and to have
the men use them.
Deficiency in Medical Supplies.
DR. Hoff said that in the beginning
the camp was deficient in medical sup
plies. The shortage was due to the fact
that IL had been expected the troops
would come to camp supplied with
medicines. but some OF them failed in
this respect. The capacity of the di-
vision hospitals was often doubled and
trebled. 1t sometimes occurerd : that
there were eight men in tents which
were intended should accommodates
because of delay in securing tentage to
care for the increase of disease. which
was unexpectedly rapid. On one or two
occasions patients were necessarily
placed in beds made upon the fioorn ~
cause of a temporary deficiency in ses.
Nurses Were Without Training.
AS a rule the nurses were without
training. and this fact occasioned some
difficulty in dealing with typhoid cases.
Yet he knew of no specific cases of suf-
fering on this account. He specified the
case of a man afflicted with an in
fectious disease who had been compelled
to lie in the open air one night on ac-
count OF the lack of tentage. The doc
tor was sure that no injury resulted.
as the weather was pleasant DR.. Hoff
said that the shortage in medical sup
plies had continued for several weeks.
but there was generally sufficient to
meet the immediate demands. He also
sai6 that some acquisitions had been re-
turred by the Washington authorities
BECAUSE improperly filed. and he was
under the impression that there had
been complaints OF some suffering on
this account.

GET THE CUSTOM HOUSES.
Gen, Porter Says That is First Essential to
to Prosperity for Cuba.

New York. October 6. 6.-Among the pas
sengers on board the steamer Saratoga
from Havana today was Hon. Robert +.
Porter. Mr.. Porter said in reference to
the present conditions in Cuba:
cat the present time am in favor OF
admitting cattle into Cuba free. The
present condition of the country people is
very distressing. The rainy season is al
most over and it is imperative that the
crops for the present year be planted at
once or else they will be put off for some
time.

much more satisfactory than in Havana,
for the reason that the United States is In
control there. The great question is not
so much the evacuation OF Cuba as it is
the getting control of the custom house
When we get control of that there will bs
some chance for prosperity. One OF the
most important subjects that came up
was the tralff on tobacco. The Cupans
claim that their tobacco is the best In the
world and want us to discriminate
against our product This will never DO.

Another expedition starts in ten min
utes aboard tho Flora, Capt. boucher,
with Is good men, armed to the teeth. l
am now satisfied that the survivors OF the
Bacon command have fallen back TO the
lumber camp, six miles inland, where
yesterdays engagement was fought. Ih1s
position can ne held. The plan is for 200
reinforcements now en- route to go from
here by train to Lothrop, march overland
to the battle-ground and by dividing
forces as the point ia reached, to get the
hostiles between two fires. There ought
however, to be 400 men instead OF 2uo TO
cover the ground.

Tallman, deputy marshal and Col. Shee-
han. Sheehan is badly wounded. He was
shot in the abdomen. While the boat wa
transferring wounded men it was fired on
by the indians from the brush. Ihis was
the signal for an immediate reopening OF
Indians and in a second there was as
fierce fight in progress as that OF yester-
day. Beulihed narrowly escaped with MS
life. He had his shoulder bored through.
We handled provisions and medicines.
The firing became so hot we were COM
PEELED to weigh anchor and steam out into
the lake. The Indians appear to be n
force. Bacon's command is too small to
take the aggressive. The detachment is
entrenched in good position and can
hold out SO long as their ammunition
lasts. The steamer Chief was met by my
boat eight miles out and has arrived be-
fore this. She carried posse of armed
men. Major Wilkinson was shot while
walking up and down admonishing the
men to keep their heads low.
No Drawer man or better officer ever
lived. The men in his command are
crazed with rage. When reinfOroements
arrive they will wreak vengeance on
Pillagers in their own way. The fight is
not half over yet.

And Forbid Importatiens Of Food To
Interior. M
1T is PRACTICALLY RECONCEN.
TRATION OVER AGAIN.

Senior Palma Of the Cuban Junta in Wash
ington to Urge President to Insist Upon
Food Importations-Letter Received
By Junta Showing Terrible Condition
of Affairs.
New York, October 6-The members of
the Cuban Junta here are much concerned
about the stories of suffering from lack of
food received by them in their advices
from che Cuban army. Letters have come
which state that the condition of the
army and of the rural population in Cuba
is now worse than it has been even during
the continuance of the war. The Junta
officials here maintain that the course
adopted by the Spanish is resulting as
effectually in causing death to the Cuban
insurgents and pacificos as did the policy
of Recommendation and exterminination
adopted by Weyler. The following is an
extract from letter received by Horatio
S. Rubens, counsel to the Junta here:
"Nohody can form an adequate idea of
the horrors of our position. Famine
causes more deaths in our ranks than
have heretofore the bullets of the enemy.
If within a month we do not receive food
much more than one-third of the Cuban
army and of the rural population will
cease to exist, and even month may be
too late.
Counsel Rubens said this extract was
but one of score of more similar ones
received by him. The Spanish hold the
coast towns and the Cubans control the
interior. The Spanish maintain that the
status quo provided by the protocol is that
they in the towns take care of themselves
and the Cubans in the country including
the rural population. supposedly in
sympathy with the insurgents, take care
of themselves, all warfare ceasing. This,
continued Counsel Rubens, is carrying
ou the policy of RECOMMENDATION and
necessarily of determination, as the
Spanish will not allow the importation of
food through the coast towns.
To lay before the President the advioes
of this nature received here and to urge,
ii possible tie speedy insistence by the
American peace commissioners at Havana
on the discontinuance of the excessive
Spanish duties on food importations, is
said to be the chief reason for the visit OF
the delegate Thomas Estrada Palma to
Washington, just now
