Four Months More of BIane0.

That General Blanco expects to re-
main in control Cuba for at least
four months longer has been announced
by the authority of the American Com
mission, which has fixed the-last day of
February as the earliest time for the
departure of the last of the Spaniards.
This confirms the repeated assertion of
The Times that the Commission has be-
come ultra Spanish. with the profound
est respect for the principle Of delay.
There is no reason that appeals TO the
American Of average enterprise why 1t
should take SO long to ship the Spanish
army of 10000 soldiers to Spain. All
that is necessary is TO employ ships
enough. and. considering the worlds
achievement. Our own Government
was able TO send some fifteen or twenty
thousand men to Cuba within a fort
night after the plan of campaign was
drawn up, and an equal number to
Porto Rico in the same length of time.
We could have continued to pour in
troops to any number if that had been
necessary.
But, conceding that four months is a
reasonable time for the embarkatio
of Blanco's army. why should the Span
ish captain general continue in author
ity at Havana? Why should not an
American force garrison the capital
when the heated term is over. with an
American general in command? 1t has

MORE LIGHT ON CAMP THOMAS.
Surgeon Major Wards Denuncia-
tiOn of the War Depurtment.

surgeon Major Wards Denuneia-
ton of the War Department..
Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. H.-Wearing
hts uniform. Surgeon Major Milo b.
Ward, who was in charge of the field
hospital at Chickamauga. denounced
the War Department Monday night in
an address at Beacon Hill Congregation
al Church, for the horrors at Camp
Thomas.
Some one is to blame" he said, 'for
keeping an army of 5000 men at a
camp where all the water was unfit for
dog to drink; where there was no
drainage, no proper food or medicine,
and where the conditions were so un-
healthy that every man of the $1,000 had
intestinal troubles.
'Three-fourthsb of the army slept in
little dog tents: as we called them.
They were five feet long and four feet
high. There were no cots. The men
slept on the ground. and it rained nearly
all the time for six weeks.
Our divisional hospital was arranged
to hold 200 men. but we had over 800
sick men in it. Each tent was arranged
to hold six men, but we had ten and
twelve crowded lin.
There were not cots enough. and sick
men had to lie on litters on the wet
ground, sometimes for a week. The
sick came in fifty and seventy-five at a
time, and there, wasl no cots, no medi-
cines, no food for them except the reg
ular army rations issued to well men
I'VE had so little medicines and of so
poor variety that we actually could not
prescribe for the sick men crowded in
there so close that you could not walk be-
tween the cots

poorest soldiers in the camp
They nursed the sick eight hours in
the day and then worked three hours dig

Under these conditions, what could the
doctors do?
The Government made no provision at
all to feed the sick at Camp Thomas

will be denied. but / can prove what
say. The sick would actually have starv-
ed to death if they had depended upon
the Government for food. Some did
starve to death. Others were fed by the
Red Cross Society.
The moment a man became sick he
was removed to the hospital his rations
stopped, and he was allowed twenty five
cents q day for Communication of rationS
But be could not draw that money for d
month
THE consequence was that the Gov
ernment gave no food to hundreds of sick

Red Cross Society and it fed the men"

Decaycd GeRtiIity.

The German Emperor has just
pardoned a criminal for somewhat
peculiar reason. The criminal is one
Lieut.. Brusewitz, who some time ago
killed a man named Siebman at Carls-
ruhe. The circumstances Of the killing
were not in any way creditable to
BrusewitZ. He was in the Lohengrin
cafe. where respectable people are ac-
customed to come to. drink beer and
listen to the music He had been to
some less innocent resort during the
earlier part Of the day,-and had become
quite drunk. This may account for
the fact that he chose to amuse him
self by making an uncalled-for amount
of noise and addressing unpleasant re-
marks to civilians who, with their
wives and sisters, were quietly sitting
at the tables. A German officer is al
ways a perfect gentleman.-and this
sort Of thing is excused in him, on
that ground. But one Of the civilians.
Siebman, seems not to have understood
this, and he resented the behavior of
the lieutenant. and said so. Then the
lieutenant grew very angry and began
to prance UP and down. His friends,
who appear TO have had some sense,
gathered around him and begged him
to leave the place. ana their persua-
sions worked on his befuddled brain
till he yielded. On the way home, how
ever, he became convinced that his
honor had been injured, and he turned
around and went back to the cafe. On
meeting Siebman he drew his sword.
ran the civilian through the body,
wiped the .Weapon,- sheathed' it and
went home, with the proud and glad
consciousness that he had secured the
stain off his>hener with the poor civil
ian's blood.
For a country whose citizens have
been instructed from childhood about
the glory and the preciousness of a
German officers honor, there seems to
have been an amazing amount of mis-
understanding I'M Germany about this
little affair. The excitement of the
populace was such that court-martial
was ordered, and it promptly found
| that BrusewitZ had hone nothing but
what was proper. Still the people re-
fused to understand. Another court
martial was organized. and found that
the lieutenant had committed a punish
able offense. and the punishment was
three years Imprisonment in a fortress
"a kind Of detention which does not
under these circumstances involve any
obloquy or hard labor, but gives the
prisoner a good long vacation and a
chance to pose as martyr And now
the emperor has pardened him.
The idea involved is this: A person
had ventured to insinuate, with consid-
erable justice.7it would seem to Ameri-
can eyes. that German officer was not
behaving well. If this person had been
of the lieutenant's own rank he could
have been challenged to a duel. He
was not. Therefore, the only thing ia
do was Co Kill h'n. Otherwise there

reported in the dispatches published

The division hospital scheme and this
led Generals Sanger and Wiley TO make
comments on the horrors of Ckicka-

Secretary Alger has strenuously de-
nied- General Wiley in particular re-
- lated that the men were over drilled,
and when one fell exhausted be was
forced to lie for hours, unattended. in
the scorching sun. There were no lit
ters and no litter carriers. and the
poer fellows We're left without aid.
There were not enough ambulances. He
held the qUartermaster's department
responsible for this
The particular severity of this re-
cital was in the fact that Secretary
4slger had just repeated his chronic
statement that the War Department
had "abundantly supplied the regi-
ments with surgeons, hospital stew
ards. nurses, litters, litter bearers.
etc Not a regiment that went to
Cuba ever had litters and litter bearers.
For the entire Fifth Army Corps but
eighteen enlisted men were detailed
for hospital duty, and they could not
be spared to carry litters. And indeed
there We're no litters. General Wheeler
H.
he had to take men from the fighting
line 10 carry the wounded to the rear on
'improvised litters." The same story
is told Of the army at Chickamauga. In
the hospital there was no medicine. not
thermometer to take the ternpera-
ture of the sick, not a pestle and NOR
tar, not a spatula or medicine knife
not sheet-er pillow. not enough sur
geons, no hospital stewards. and NOT a
nurse, except the enlisted men who
were detailed for the duty. which they
undertook. reluctantly and awkvardlv
General Wiley repeated the charge
that none of the acquisitions We're hon
ored- This was denied by the quarter
master general but his denial was
worthless in the face of the overwheIm-
ing proofs. The chief surgeon-not the
horse doctor, but his successor-safd id
he made requisition for medicine for
pneumonia patients on July 4. and did
not get it until July %. Then General
Wiley silenced the protesting quarter
master general by saying that he sent
acquisitions not only to the corps quar-
termaster but also to the Washington
Office, but in vain.
If Secretary Alger has been really ig-
norant of tie facts and has thought the
charges made in the newspapers were
groundless, his eyes and understanding
must have been opened during the
hour he passed in. the tent of General
Breckenridge. The quartermasters de-
partment is in the tolls, and the accu-
muiating evidence suggests a day OF
reckoning and of doom when the baby
act cannot be pleaded with success.
