.STERNBERG ON STAND
SURGEON GENERAL QUESTIONED
ABOUT MEDICAL SERVICE.
The ALGER POLICY WAS TO WAIT.
This When War Threatened-Very
Little Lack of Medical Supplies
TrooDs in Mobilization Camps Neg
Iected Sanitary Measures.

WASHINGTON, December S.-The con-
duct Of the medical service Of the army
was taken up to-day by the War Inves-
tgating Commission, and Surgeon-Genc-
raj Sternberg was rigidly questioned
about his administration. The medical
department he said, was equipped only
for an army of 5000 men when the war
broke out, and from year TO year the
estimates he had submitted had been ma
terially reduced by Congress, in policy
of economy of appropriations AS soon
as there was a prospect of war he had
begun preparations, though not making
any expense. lie had models of chests
made, he said, and equipment developed,
but when he suggested to Secretary Alger
the propriety of making purchases for
his service, "the policy was 10 wait
lie said at one time there were as many
as Go contract surgeons employed. lie
conceded Il was mistake not to have
appointed more contract surgeons from
those who had had experience in the
civil war.
INCORRECT DIAGNOSES.
The department, now, he said, has am
pie evidence that typhoid cases du-
ring the war were largely mistaken for
malarial ones, until the cases had reached
the division hospitals, and malarial cases
had been mistaken for typhoid ones.
He maintained that there had been very
little lack Of medical supplies during
the war An unanticipated typhoid-feyer
outbreak had severely taxed the field re-
sources. Delays had frequently been
caused through want of delivery 70 The
proper medical officer.
-.
The relative merits of division and regi-
mental hospitals. said that while expert
snce had taught a good deal. the theories
OF the department as 20 medical admins
.ration were borne out in the main.
TROUBLE AT SANTIAGO.
Coming TO the history OF the Santiago
movement, General Sternberg explained
that there had been an abundance OF
medical officers and supplies sent 20 San
tiago, and said the trouble, so far as he
could judge, arose I'm their landing and
distribution. He said emphatlcally that
he could do no more in his Office than
send supplies where he thought they were
needed, and respond promptly TO requisi-
lions.
HAD SUPPORT OF SUPERIORS.
General Beaver: We are 10 understand
you had at all times the hearty support
and good VIII OF those over you in for
warding the work OF your department?
Yes" was the reply, most undoubt-
edly."
AS to the general condition OF troops in
mobilization camps, he said the trouble
could nearly all be summed UP in the two
phrases-"Neglect OF sanitary measures
and Letting the troops remain too long
IN one camp"
FEMALE NURSES.
Touching the subject OF female nurses,
General Sternberg said, seriously, but
somewhat sadly. that they were expen-
sive luxuries"

Crop Bulletin.

The weather bureau for the district
of Washington, Department of Agri-
culture, makes the following climate
and crop report for the week ending
Monday, the 18th inst:
The fore part of the past week was
warm in the western section, the
thermometers in localities reaching
between IS and 80, and very hot in
the Eastern section, maximum tenn
peratures occurring of over 100. Thun-
der showers occurred in portions of
the eastern section on the 18th, and
afterwards it was cooler for the re-
mainder of the week. Showers &C.
Cured on the 10Th, 18th and 18th.
The fore part of the week was
splendid for haying, and the bulk of
the hay was cut. Some was down
when the rain of the 10Th came, and
must have been considerably dam
aged.
The warmth of the week made it a
splendid growing one, being the best
for general vegetables than there has
been this season. More rain will be
needed to make good crop of plums,
prunes an apples.
Oats have done we'll, generally,
though some of the uplands are short
and light. But a King county
rancher mentions some that are six
feet high and will yield enormously.
Green aphis have appeared on grain
in Clarke county, and will, perhaps,
do considerable damage to wheat and
oats. The showers that fell were
needed and were of benefit to all
crops except hay.
In the Eastern part OF the State,
according to full and complete re.
ports made in answer to special re-
quest, the damage from the hot spell
was not as great rs it would have
been had drying winds prevailed, and
was limited to the Big Bend country,
and the western part of Spokane and
Whitman counties. A moist soil from
previous rains saved from any damage
in the extreme east and southeast.
Fall wheat was generally too far
along for any injury, as it was fast
ripening during the past week, and
considerable has been harvested. As
q rule the berry is plump and the
yield is satisfactory. Early sown
spring wheat, which got we'll rooted
has not suffered much, but in the To-
calities specified, the late sown.grain
has suffered severe injury.
