THIS Is A BURNING SHAMEI
Horrible Treatment of Sick Soldiers
on Their Voyage to New York.

Horrible Treatment of Sick Soldiers
on Their Voyage to New York.
New York special:
There are many bright pictures in the
present war, and some, unfortunately,
that can create no other feeling than that
of stern condemnation. OF the latter class
is the incident of the transport Concho,
which reached New York with 1I2 in
valids from Siboney, Cuba. The misery
which these unfortunate men endured
during the voyage is almost incredible.
Before the vessel sailed from Siboney
III sick and wounded had been shipped
aboard and it never occurred to any one
to find out what accommodations there
were for that number. Hardly had the
vessel got to sea before the men began to
suffer with seasickness and fevers of va
rious kinds. Dysentery, diarrhoea and
other diseases also broke out and the
vessel was pest ship from the first day.
Within twenty-four hours all the ice had
been used up. There was no fresh water,
the water in the storage tanks being near
ly putrid, and there was not sufficient dis
tilling apparatus. There was not even
food for the sick to eat the vessel having
been supplied with army rations, some
thing which even well men do not greatly
relish. There was also n lack of sur
geons and nurses to care for the sick and
almost no medicine to administer.
From the first the men suffered horri-
bly,. They lay in hunks between the
decks. in heavy atmosphere that was
almost intolerable. Some had no blan-
kets and none had mattresses. Their COM
partments after the first days sickness
were reeking with filth and the odor was
enough to sicken healthy man. Mem
bers of the Red Cross Society endeavor
ed to clean the hunks, but the former
were so few and the latter so many that
on the second round the condition was as
bad as on the first, and while the nurses
were thus engaged there was no one to
minister to the sick and suffering. There
was not even dsinfectant on board ex-
cept a few ounces of creolin and in this
foul atmosphere the men who had risked

LIGHTHOUSE, MoNTAUK POINT.

they will be ready for fall campaign.
From present appearances there will not
be one, but in either event the army
should be moved.
1t had been intended for some time that
the Santiago troops should be Withdrawn
as soon as the yellow fever should be
stamped out, the War Department believ-
ing that the disease could be overcome
without too great cost of life. Steps had
been taken for the immediate movement
of part of the troops, an order having
been prepared directing that all of the
cavalry forces ut Santiago, and all of
those at Tampa, except the Fifth regu-
lars and the First Ohio volunteers, be
moved to Montauk Point without delay.
The council of leading officers of the
War and Navy Departments held at the
White House was called to consider the
withdrawal of all the military forces in
Santiago as promptly as possible. i'll the
light of the revelations made by Col.
Roosevelt and the other officers. 1t was
decided after some discussion that the
Santiago troops should be transported to
Montauk Point with as little delay as pos
sible.
In accordance with Secretary Alger's
order Gen. Shafter's corps, numbering
81 900 men. exclusive of the 1000 suffer
ing from fever, who will have to remain
in Cuba until they are convalescent, will
be moved to Montauk Point as soon as
transportation can be secured, and until
the evacuation by the Spanish will permit
of a reduction in the garrison of Santiago.
The camps at Montauk Point are in read
iness for occupation.
When Shafter's army has evacuated
the province Santiago will be turned over
to the First and Second United States
volunteer infantry regiments Gmmunesl,
commanded by Coils. Roche and Hood.
The Third and Fifth immune regiments,
Col. 7. ii. Ray and Col. Herbert Sar-
geant, have also been ordered to Santiago,
and will soon depart. Two other immune
regiments yet TO be selected will be or
dered to embark in 4 few days. -Four
more immune regiments are in process of
organization, and will be sent to Santiago
if those now under orders prove made
quate in maintaining garrison at the
provincial capital now under control of
Americans.
In Secretary Alger's order the fact is
mentioned that Shafter's army will re-
main at Montauk Point until fall, and
will then be used in the campaign against
Havana. This confuses persons not fa-
miliar with army affairs, but military Off
cinls explain that this phase of the order
was compiled in accordance with the orig
inal plans of campaign, in which no
change will be made until peace is de-
clared

Washington special:

Washington special:
Gen. Skaters army will be brought
home to the United States as rapidly as
possible. Information that the division
commanders at Santiago, led by Col. The
odore Roosevelt, had addressed letter 20
Gen. Shafter urging the immediate with
drawal of the Fifth corps from Cuba, was
cantained in dispatch which was carried
to the White House after O. clock Thurs
day morning, and council of war was
held at once when the full purport Of the
letter became known.
In the statement presented TO Shafter
by Roosevelt, and which is indorsed by
all the general officers ut Santiago, 1t is
the declared belief that half the army
will die if kept in Cuba, and that the men
must be sent north TO save their lives.
For some days back Gen. Skaters re-
ports of the sickness in his army have
been alarming. Nearly one-fifth of his
men are in the hospitals. Most of them
are disabled by malarial fever. Fortu-
nately there are not many cases of yellow
fever as yet, but Col Roosevelt alleges
that these figures, distressing as they are,
do not give an adequate idea of the con-
dition of the army. He states that not
10 per cent are fit for active work, and
that the men are so weakened by mala-
rial fevers that if genuine yellow fever
epidemic were to break out it would
sweep through them like fire through stub
BILE. The opinion has been generally held
that if the army were moved to higher
and healthier camps in the interior its
sanitary condition would improve at once.
Col. Roosevelt is of contrary opinion.
He asserts that "every shifting of camp
doubles the sick rate in our present weak
ened condition" That is, the men are so
run down that the labor involved in NOV
ing camp is too much for many of them.
He states also that ''the interior is rath-
er worse than the coast" and that "our
present camps are as healthy as any
camps at this end of the island can be"
The sick lists show that those camps are
most unhealthy.
Col. Roosevelt declares that if the San
tiago troops, with the exception of the
immunes. are sent north. in six weeks the
malaria will be out of their systems and

FOR BIG EUROPEAN SQUADRON.
Uncle Sam Will Soon BE Well Repre-
scented in Foreign Waters.

The naval officials are considering the
formation of big squadron to be sta
toned in European waters after the war
is over. The intention is to reform the
European squadron, but to make it much
stronger than ever before. Just before
the war began all the American warships
were withdrawn from foreign stations
except the Asiatic for service in the West
Indies, and since then the officials have
not had time to bother about arranging
for n resumption of naval representation
in alien waters. In late years the Euro
pean station has dwindled in Importance

ships, none armored, were kept there

their lives for their country were forced
to live or die.
Before reaching Fort Monroe three had
died and this fact was reported to the
quarantine doctor early Thursday morn
ing. That official could do nothing with
out hearing from Washington, and he
went ashore after examining the ship to
telegraph the authorities. No answer was
received. The dead lay on the second
deck. with the living lying around them,
until Friday afterrc on, when the captain
went to sea and buried them in the waves.
That evening another death occurred and
another sea burial. Meanwhile some sup
plies had been ordered and when the Con-
cho started for New York she carried
few necessary supplies for the sick. Even
then the vessel left under Government or
ders before opportunity had been given
for the purchase of many necessaries.
