SOME PLAIN WORDS
 FROM A CHAPLAIN.
He Tells Only Part of What He Saw at Chiokamnuga While With
 His Regiment.

Philadelphia, Sept. 2f.-Rev. Cyrus Episcopal church, of eastern Pennsylva- nia and chaplain of the First regiment of Pennsylvania velulteers, in sermon Sunday night severely criticised the management of the volunteer camps which came under his supervision at Chickamauga, where his regiment was stationed He said tho medical, com missary and ordnance departments were all to blame, and continued thus:
 "I personally saw men left in the hos. pitals In companies for 86 hours without any medical attention whatever.
 II saw men in those hospitals suffer- ing from fever with the rain beating down upon them.
 Il saw men committed to the care of unskilled attendants when it was abso. lutely impossible for them to receive anything like the attention they de- served.
 ''I saw men suffering from fever, ly- ing with their months open and their mouths filled with flies
 In conclusion the archdeacon said:
 II wonder If dare, being still in the government service, to say more. There Is much more that might be told if 1t were proper for mo to tell 1t, but perhaps this will suffice. l had not in- tended to touch upon this phase of our experience at all, but whom think that things here take place in this, the rich est, greatest, presumably the most ad- vanced nation on the face of the earth, cannot hold my peace.

CUBANS IN SANTA CLARA
 STARVING TO DEATH,
Gomez Sends Telegrams From There. App pealing to This Country For Aid.
 Rather Than to Siege Provisions.

New York, Sept. 27.-Telegrams were received at the Odban legation Sunday night from commissioners who arrived at Key West, says The Press correspon- dent at Washington, sent to the country by General Gomez, the Cuban insurgent leader. These telegrams depict the sit uation in the province of Santa Clara as the most critical. The Cuban army is said to be starving. The vegetables are almost gone and the last mules and horses have been killed to feed the sick. The children and old people are said to be dying by dozens every day.
 The general appeals for aid, and says his men are desperate The Spanish are doing all they can to make the insurgent situation more terrible. 1t is feared that serious results may arise from this, and the Cubans cannot be blamed if they are forced to take the necessaries of life. This they can do by capturing a town, but the Cubans have pledged themselves not to violate the armistice, and they therefore, appeal to the United States in order to avoid conflict.
