WASHINGTON, Dec. S-The conduct Of
the medical service Of the army was
taken up to-day by the War Investigating
Commission, and Surgeon-General stern
berg was rlgdly 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 materially re-
duced by Congress in a policy Of economy
of appropriations. AS soon as there was a
prospect Of war he had begun prepara-
lions, though not making any expense.
He had models of chests made, he said,
and equipment developed, but when he
suggested TO Secretary Alger the pro-
priety Of making purchases for his SER
vice, 1.-The policy was TO wait
SURGEONS INEXPERIENCED.
He said at one time here were as many
as go contract surgeons employed. lie
conceded it was mistake not to have
appointed more contract surgeons from
those who had had experience I'm the civil
war. The department now, he said. has
ample evidence that typhoid cases during
the war were largely mistaken for ma
larial cases until the cases had reached
the division hospitals and malarial cases
had been mistaken for typhoid
lie maintained that there had been
very nttle lack Of medical supplies during
the war. An unanticipated typhoid fever
outbreak had severely taxed the field re-
sources. Delays had frequently been
caused through want of delivery TO the
proper medical officer.
THEORIES DID NOT HOLD.
Surgeon-General Sternberg. concerning
the relative merits Of division and regi-
mental hospitals. said that while ex-
perience had taught n good deal the
theories Of the department as to medical
administration werc broken in the main
Coming TO the history OF the Santiago
movement. General Sternbers explained
thai there hal been an abundance of
medical officers and supplies sent TO San
tago, and said the trouble so far as he
could Judge arose in their landing and
distribution. He said omphatically that
he could 90 no mere in his office than
send supplies where he thought they were
needed and respond promptly to requisi-
lions.
