A CHURCH IN SPLINTERS.
Angry Poles Raze n Sacred Edifice

Buffalo. n. Y, Sept. All that re-
mains of the little church erected by the
Independent Polish Catholic congregation
on Playter Street is a mass OF lumber
About three years ago part of the
congregation of st. Adelberts Church
became dissatisfied with the manage
ment Of the church as superintended by
Rev. Dean Pitas, and sent petition to
the bishop. asking for his removal to
some other church. The bishop made an
exhaustive inquiry into the case and de-
cided To support Father Pitas. Upon the
receipt of this answer q large part of the
congregation of St. taelbert's left the
church and formed body of their own

there none to do this work, for the
eighteen men had TO neglect it for other
service?
Did the chief surgeon make no early
demand on General Shafter for a prop
er detail? Did he-if that demand was
ignored-make no appeal to the sur
geon general at Washington, inform
ing him of the defective service? Did
the surgeon general himself make no
inquiry, on the eve of the departure for
Cuba. or before, as TO whether SHAFT

would be efficient?
Even if it should prove to be true

4 Lovely Trim.

Here is proof at last that the COM
plants of sick soldiers as TO the trans
port ship horrors were but the Vagaries
of delirium. General Shafter and his
staff reached Camp Wikof after just
such a voyage. and Mrs. John A. Lo-
gan. who has been the first to welcome
General Wheeler Colonel Roosevelt and
the others. was OF course present TO
greet General Shafter. Her first ques-
ton was: How was the voyage up
from Santiago2" Note the reply of
General Shafter: we had a lovely
trip"
Here is a sufficient answer to the
ISLANDERS. We believe that if General
Shafter should tell all. he would say
he did not suffer from a lack of pro-
visions fit for a delicate and cultivated
taste: that there was no lack Of ice for
the champagne, and that there was no
trouble about having his meals cooked
three times a day. This testimony
ought to save the Government the ex-
pense Of the investigation so madly de-
manded by the people, who have been
duped by soldiers in a condition of ir-
responsibility.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER ., 1888.
The Troops at Porto Rico.

The suggestion that General Miles
should not leave So large a force at
Porto Rico Is based on ignorance Of the
menace Of typhoid fever. Before the
transports left our shores with his
small army il was predicted by sur
geons who were familiar with the un-
sanitary conditions at Chickamauga
Park that an epidemic Of fever would
develop after they should reach their
destination. The men had all been ex-
posed to the contagion at Camp
Thomas, and carried with them the
germs of the disease. This prediction
is in fair way TO be verified. No Off
cial medical statement is made as to
the number OF sick men. but it is un-
derstood that il is large and growing.
This does not indicate an unsanitary
state in Porto Rico. If il We're, as il
is reported TO be in many parts. the
most healthful OF situations. the dis
ease would still claim victims The
chances are that the sick Will recover
more readily and the ravages of the
fever viii be more likely to be limited
If the soldiers remain there than if they
should incur the discomforts, privations
and dangers that seem TO be insepara-
bic from a voyage on Government
transports, save in the case of General
Shafter and his staff
The War Department has every rea-
son to trust absolutely to the judgment
of General Miles. He was the first to
give heed to the protests of medical
men in Cuba and TO prohibit the reck-
less disregard OF sanitary principles
that led to the prostration Of Shafter' S
army 1T was an utter disregard of his
instructions and advice that was the
cause of the worst effects of the epi-
6emic. He was well aware of the
probabilities of an outbreak of typhoid
among the troops from Camp Thomas,
and il is reasonable to think he has
taken all possible measures to restrict
fits operations. If IL is his deliberate
judgment that it is safer to leave the
twelve thousand men in Porto Rico.
the department should be slow to criti-
else and slower to countermand his
orders

The paymaster's department of the ar

of popular denunciation.
Regiments ARE being furloughed from
one to two months without their pay.
Many of the men have absolutely no
money, and nearly all are in need of it.
From onei to three months pay is due
them all
The army in Porto Rico has not been
paid, and there seems to be no prospect
that it will be for some months. large
part of the Santiago army was not paid
all the time it was away from this coun-
try.
There has been no time since the vol
unteer army was mustered in that the
pay department has been up with its
work. 1t is now from one to three
months behind with the entire army.
There is no way for the troops that
are furloughed for two months now to
get any money from the Government
during the period of their leave. Many
of these will at the end of this time be
behind in their pay five months
The paymasters whose duty ii was to
pay off the Santiago troops left this
country with an abundance of money,
but did not pay more than a third of
the troops There We're not enough pay

| 1900 troops had not received their pay
Nearly all of them had not been paid

The paymasters followed the troops to
Montauk Point, but here, too, the corps

This unfortunate condition is made
worse by the regulation that no soldier
! who is furloughed can receive pay from
the Government until his furough has
expired and he has returned TO his regi-
| ment.
The Seventy-first New York is one of

So it Is the poor regimental command
ers who are TO blame for all the horrors
which, it is admitted, should be cIassed
as criminal" BY some bewiIdering proc
ess of reasoning it is assumed that Cen
eral Boynton's report as to the present
sanitary conditions at Camp Thomas, ac
quits everybody of all blame except the
regimental commanders and especially
accuits the Secretary of War of all re-
sponsibility for the long continuance of
epiGemics in the American camps. for the
starvation of soldiers at Santiago, for
the pestships-"whose stencil is intolera-
bIe," says Ensign Middlebrook-and for
the affiictions borne by the troops at
Montauk Point. 1t is not clear to any
sane mind why General Boynton's re-
port about the present state of the camp
should destroy the importance OF the rec
ord of five thousand typhoid cases in a
total of forty-three thousand men. with
more than a doubling of the cases in
four weeks, but that is not more puz-
Zling than the use of his report TO white
. wash the whole shameful and criminal
business. 1t will not do. Regimental
commanders can be only as criminally
careless as the inspectors and camp COM
manders allow them to be. If a regf-
mental commander is to blame for per-
mitting his men TO pollute the camp, why
is not the commander or the camp to
blame for permitting regimental COM
manders to permit it? But there is no
use arguing the case, wnen there is a
purpose to evade responsibility. Perhaps
Congress will clear up the matter.

The official report of Surgeon God

have been made against the medical

the surgeons in the field were devoted
and fearless and did their best

asperating and ineXcusable; that
they were overworked, and that

Tampa for Cuba, a single hospital COM

IN the First Division. There is no evil

We may mention here that in General

about five hundred men for General
