BLAMEs MILITIA OFFICERS.
1Iember Of the Fourteenth Regi-
ment Says They Were strong ON
Drill, but Weak on Sanitation.

A member of the Fourteenth regiment
told a G. 10 b reporter that the blame
for the condition of affairs at Chicka-
manga rested with the system observ-
ed in offering the regiments.
This experience" he said, mas
taught the government and the people
that the national guard was only q
TOW that was of no practical use when
needed. The officers knew the rudi-
ments of military tactics but nothing
about sanitation and other matters i'm
portant when large numbers of men
are concerned When we reached
Chickamauga we dug our refuse trench
es within a few feet of our company
kitchens. Then they got filled up and
we covered them with earth. Then
we dug another trench few feet from
the first, and when that was filled we
dug another, and so on, until the
ground became saturated with foul
refuse, which bred insects and germs
of all kinds of disease. When 1T ralned
the water would soak into these
trenches and bring the refuse TO the
surface, and when the sun bla2ed upon
it it made the decaying refuse smell
to heaven, so that every wind waited
the evil odors into our systems. We
lived in that poisoned atmosphere and
sickened and nearly died for two
months before our officers realized the
cause of our sickness. The medical
corps was wholly ignorant of simple
rules of health. 1t was the same with
all the regiments.
What is needed is a military force
commanded by regular army officers.

the hands of practical men and not
politicians. The trouble with many Of

NO MONEY NOR SHELTER.
Two Soldiers of the Fourteenth
Find Themselves I'm IA Predicament

Two Soldiers of the Fourteenth
Find Themselves in Predicament
Two soldiers who had been granted fur
loughs but had no transportation nor money
to stop at a hotel, were turned out of Camp
Kittson yesterday afternoon and denied the
shelter of a tent. They were Irwin Everson
of Olivia and John Simmons of Company K
of the Fourteenth regiment, and they are
sick. Through the efforts Of Mrs. Cora A
Johnson, of the Red Cross society, the men
were granted furloughs, but it so late
when they received them that they could not
get transportation to their homes. They
wanted to remain In camp until morning, but
were told that as they were furloughed they
could not stay in camp. Mrs. johnson learned
Of their plight and went to Dr. Dorsey, the
surgeon in charge, who gave the men orders
for lodging at the Windsor, but he neglected
to give orders for meals, and the men would
have gone supperless to bed had not Mrs.
johnson again come to their rescue and made
arrangements for the Red Cross society to
pay for their meals.
Mrs. Johnson yesterday had a number of
patients at the union depot They were:
Daniel SeinbaSher, Third infantry to Fort
Smelling.
Douglas R. Mylie, Company c, Sixteenth
infantry, to Fort Sherman.
Gus Magnusson. Company F, Sixteenth in
fantry, from Fort Wadsworth, Staten Island
to Occur d'Alene Idaho
Oscar Jache, of Company D, Fourteenth
regiment, arrived at the depot sick Friday
evening that Mrs. Johnson sent him to st.
Josephs hospital, and Carl inquest of Com
pany E, Third Wisconsin, was so i'll that
Mrs. Johnson took him to the Sherman house
and remained all night by his bedside nurs-
ing him.
Mrs. Johnson also found accommodations
at the Windsor for nine men from Com
pany X who were furloughed but had not
secured Transportation. They were David E.
Parouaix. E. E. Grissom G. R. Gilbertsen,
Charles Asher, Nate Greer, Neal Mccoy,
William Dunn, William Comstock and A.
McGllvary. They were too Ill to remain
as there was no fit place for them to re-
main at camp. But after they arrived at the
Windsor. DR.. Dorsey notified the hotel not
to feed the men unless they presented orders
for. meals signed by himself.
When Mrs. johnson heard that she said she
would be responsible tor the mems meals,
and they had supper. Had it not been for
her they would have gone hungry, and would
have had nothing to eat today.

In this city. The authorities are lenient
in this respect, particularly where a
soldier is not well, and yesterday
dozen or fifteen of the boys were fur
Laughed, some only for two or three
days, While others will not return until
the mastering out commences. AdJt.
Gen. Muehlberg was at the camp yes
terday afternoon, issuing transporta-
ton to those who have been granted
leave of absence. He inspected the
camp In company with Maj. Schaeffer
and expressed himself highly pleased
With its appearance. Many other Vlsi-
tors were also at the camp, promenad-
Inc the company streets, and convers-
ing with the boys about their Southern
experiences
Maj. Schaeffer is Of the opinion that,
Notwithstanding all of the arrange
ments that have been made, the Four
teenth may not be mustered out of
service even at the expiration Of the
thirty days furlough He says he has
no official knowledge Of the intentions
or the war department, but explains
his belief upon the ground that he
fears the peace commission may not
so readily settle the difference be-
tween this country and Spain, as is
anticipated. Should the commission
fail to adjust matters, Maj. Schaeffer
says he believes the government will
troops.
Maj. Schaeffer says so long as there
is any possibility OF the Fourteenth
remaining in service, he will remain
with the regiment. The Fourteenth
" as ranked first among the 10000 troops
at Chickamauga, and in the pride he
feels in the regiment Maj. Schaeffer
will remain one of Its officers as long
as the regiment is a part Of the army.
During yesterday morning all Of the
officers of the regiment visited Gov.
Clough at the state capitol The COVER
nor received the officers cordially, and
ccmplimented them highly upon the
record made by the Fourteenth regi-
nnent.
The most interesting of all points
discussed was the return Of the regi-
ment to the national guard.
Gov. Clough informed the officers
that the regiment would be mustered
back into the guard as a whole, If the
officers and men desire it.
The officers believe that a majority
of the men will remain in the guard.
The Twelfth, as we'll as the Four
teenth regiment will be given an OPP
portunity to resume it's old place in the
rational guard.
After the visit with the governor the
officers called upon Gen. Bacon at the
army building.
leave of abserce yesterday was Private
Joseph Woodbury., so known on. the
muster roll, but who Is in reality a
lineal descendant of Hole In The
Day and is chief of the Chippewa In
dams at the White Earth reservation.
The officers say he has made an excel
lent soldier and so, when he desired to
visit the White Earth reservation upon
matters relating to his tribe, permis-
sion was readily granted.

Gov. ClOugh VIII Meet the Sick
Boys From the Thirteenth


A committee of the Thirteenth Regiment
Auxiliary association called on the governor
to see what the state would do about sending
a representative to Manila, preferably a ply
stefan, to look after the men of the regiment
and report regularly upon their condition
Gov. Clough informed the committee that
he could not do anything in this line for he
had not the authority to use state funds in
that way, and besides, the regiment was now
under federal jurisdiction. Moreover the gov
ernOr said that there was no need of sending
a special representative to Manila, as the
officers could care for the regiment
~ He would, however, wire the authorities at
the regiment be required to make bi-monthly
reports on the health of the regiment. He
would also wire the war department to have
him posted as to the date of arrival of the
ship on which the sick members of the Thir-
teenth were coming home.
He would send car and nurses to bring
these boys home from San Francisco, and
would also see that the members of the ASSOC
citation and everybody interested was In
formed through the press as to the date when
the boat might be expected. Nurses, he had
been informed, were not needed now.

SERIOUS HOTEL FIRE.
New York Hotel Burned, With Probably
Fatal Results.

Gloversville, Feb. 3.-The Alvord
house, five-story brick building, was
destroyed by fire between and s
O'Clock this morning. Six persons
persisted in the flames, and dozen
others were more or less injured in
making their escape. The dead are:
E. c. Kimball, of Indianapolis, his
wife and daughter; Benjamin F. Strick
land; Henry G. Day; Charles G. Rup-
pert.
Mr.. Kimball was an agent for glove
factory of this city, and Mr. Strickland
and Mr.. Day were business men. Rup-
pert was bellboy i'll the hotel.
The fremen searched all day in the
runis for the remains Of the victims.
but their effort was unrewarded. Elec-
trio lights have been strung over the
ruins, and large force will continue
the search all night. The two travel
ing men reported missing were account
ed for late tonight, leaving six victims.
DIR. Davis, of Westfeld, N. Y, jumped
from the third story. He struck the
wires opposite the second story and was
thrown to the ground, and was not
seriously hurt. j. II. Barry, of Troy,
jumped from the third story, and was
only slightly injured. Elwood belong,
a fireman, was seriously frozen, and
Andrew Watson, of Toronto, Ont,
jumped from the fourth floor to a shed
and was slightly hurt.
The fire started on the ground floor,
about 7 O'Clock and shot up through
the broad stairs and Railways, which
acted as fues to the stories above with
lightning-llke speed. Almost imme-
diately. after the flames were discovered
the alarm was sounded through the
house, and the big hotel was soon the
scene of the widest confusion. There
was a wild scramble on the part of the
guests to escape with their personal
property, but many were forced to flee
without saving anything. A few of
the guests made their escape by the
stairways, but the smoke soon cut off
this retreat.
The next resort of the imprisoned
people was the windows. As their
terror-stricken faces appeared, the little
crowd below watched breathlessly, hop.
ing against hope that all would be
saved. The guests who were thus en-
trapped did not long hesitate to take
the risk Of jumping, though some were
rescued from their perilous positions by
the firemen. Others leaped from the
windows, several being more or less In
iured.
