Camps Visited.

Washington, Dec. 24-Gen. O. O.
Howard, retired, testified before the
war investigating commission. He
said the Army and Navy Christian
commission furnished hymn books and
ice water in appreciable quantities at
Camp Thomas, both being thankfully
received. The Christian commission
had done excellent work, he said,
and the soldiers had asked to have It
continued, having sent contribution
of 5000 from Cuba for that purpose.
Regarding Gen. Lees command at
Jacksonville, Gen. Howard said he had
not believed before that it was posi-
BILE for camp to be kept in such fine
condition. The southern camps, he
said, were, as rule, in good con
dition, but he noticed an inundation
Of beer in colored camp at Tampa
and plague of flies at Mobile. At
Camp Thomas the odors were varied
and repulsive and he suggested
chloride Of lime to Gen. Brooke, who
thereupon distributed 80 barrels in one
day,
