The public have read with hor-
ror the testimony on which the La
test military commission based its
report Of the conditions at Camp
Thomas. in Chickamauga Park, an
abstract of which was printed in
Monday morning. Gazette.
This is the camp in defense of
which Gen. Boynton the man
who selected this site for the troops
a report that was received
with suspicion by those who knew
anything Of the actual conditions,
and with explanatory delight by
whitewashed journals.
He did not know and the coun-
try did not know that Gen. Breck-
inridge had in his pocket the re-
port Of an investigation by an
army board which contradicted
every assertion of Gen. Boynton.
That report was made public a few
days ago and its conclusions shock
ed the public.
But it was nothing like the shock
they must have experienced as they
read the testimony of Colonels,
Captains, Surgeons and privates
who have been volunteer nurses in
the hospital, and the regimental
chaplain of the ninth New York.
Such recital of neglect and inef-
6ciency must strain human cred
-ence. It shows the utter inhumnn-
ity of responsible officials and it
clearly proves-indeed, the COM
mission directly charges the muir
der of our soldiers.
Think of hospital without a
thermometer for testing the tenn
perature of typhoid fever patients;
without even a spatula a medicine
knife; without medicine, ice, or
water fit to drink, of soldiers in the
fury of typhoid fever without hay-
ing had their clothes removed for
weeks; of patient with pneumc-
MIA who had to wait eighteen days
for any medicine; and of patients
covered with vermin. LIS it any
wonder the chaplain speaks of is
as "hell on earth"
None of this testimony can be
charged up to sensational journal
ism. The evidence was taken by
military commission and the wit
nesses were officers and soldiers.

sid, senatorlal pistrIct.

We hope that the Democrats OF
the Sixth Senatorial District will
get together, and at once, undo the
wrong perpetrated upon Putnam
county, by taking the candi-
date for State Senator from
them, when the nomination be-
Ionged to Putnam by rota-
ton and by right, and giving It to
Cabell county. This action has
caused a bad division in the Dem
ocratic vote Of the Sixth Senator
ial District, and from which the
Republican candidate will profit.
Mr.. Marcum cannot hope to be
elected With the Putnam Demo
Gratis hostile to him. and running
candidate of their own. Let Mr..
Marcum and Mr.. Kirtley both with
draw, and select another man from
Putnam, and put him upon the
ticket, and by this means heal the
wounds made by the late Hunting
ton convention. Don't jeopardize
the Legislative tickets in the coun-
ties composing the Sixth Senator
ial District, and perhaps also the
Democratic candidate for Congress
Remember that the success of
the Democratic party, at this
time. is greater than is the
aspirations of any man or set
of men. We believe that Mr..
Marcum and Mr.. Kirtley are
both loyal Democrats. and will not
continue in race that will make
the election of a Republican Sem
ator absolutely certain.

HUMANITARIANS BUSY.
Headquarters Opened by the Oakland Red Cross
 Society.

OAKLAND, May 12.-Room 222, Central Bank building, is now in charge of the Oakland branch of the National l.eu Cross Society. and committees are in ses- sion almost continuously. The activity shown speaks we'll for any of our boys who may be wounded, and the care of the enemy in case of need.
 Mrs. F. B. Ginn, the financial secretary, to-day made the following announce ment:
 The new enrolment lists are now open and by payment of s1 every subscriber becomes a Red Cross man or woman, enshrined on its records, and dedicated to it's work.
 It has work now and strenuously every nerve is strained and every heart Is turned to its accomplishment. It has set itself to this task-that before next Monday 1t will raise s2O00. A portion of this will be expended in bandages-of the kind which the medical department of the Government will accept and use, 1. e., Sterilized bandageS wound by machinery.
 The most of this money to be raised in Oakland at present Is to be sent along with the boys going to Manila. It Is to be placed in the hands of trusted agents and members of the Red Cross to whose care and discretion the responsibility will be left of alleviating and supplying the wounded and sick with other comforts than those furnished by the Govern ment.
 A supply committee has been appointed that will receive certain supplies named such as wines, brandies, cocoas, etc.; but while it Is recognized that 1t may be easier to furnish supplies than money, it has been made clear that with money we can surely strike home to the necessity of the case, and, therefore, an earnest appeal is made for money.
 The following subscriptions are hereby acknowledged: D. A. R. of Oakland. s20; Ebell Society, s20; Good Will Kindergar- ten, s2; Mrs. Vernon Jones, s1; M w J., s1; c: F. School, $1; Miss Mary Alexander, S15; Mrs. William de Fremery, $1; Mrs. Stoddard, s5; Mrs. Henry Wadsworth. s1; Mrs. F. E. Morrison, S1; Miss May Ben ton, s1 70; Miss Louise Hedstrom, $2 50; Mrs. Albert Miller, $20; Mrs. R. E. Gorrill, q.
 Besides this good beginning, the gentle men of Oakland are taking hand in the matter, and the first to enroll himself to- day is F. M. Smith, with a pledge of $150; and another, who wishes to be nameleSs, has handed the society $100.
 The financial committee of gentlemen John A. Britton (chairman). T. l.. Requa, w. G. Henshaw, P. E. Bowles, H. O. Trowbridge, Robert Fitzgerald and D. Ed ward Collins-and other well-known busi- ness men are also pledged to the assist ance of this society.
