ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT.
One Soldier Dead and One Dying

mt Buffalo. y. Y.
Buffalo, n. Y, Aug. 31.-As result of
! hardships in camp at Dunn Loring, Va,
| Nathaniel Warner is dead and Clayton
Policy probably dying Both of these men
arrived on the hospital train yesterday,
, and are members of the Sixty-ffth New
/ York Regiment
OF Policy, DR.. Degroot says: He is in
the worst condition He is wildly de-
lirious and is cursing the management of
the camp and the men above him in rank
There are a couple of men holding him in
bed. His condition is critical; tempera-
ture about l04. The temperatures of some
OF the other men are up very high but
that can probably be accounted for by
the fact that they have had very long
journey and arrived here much excited"
The ill-treatment of Policy in camp
which may result in his death is thus
told by comrade:
Policy was taken sick last Saturday
His case developed in a few minutes and
as he lay on his cot, Fay Danford a
comrade near him, called 70 a nurse 10
get doctor. The attendant shuffied
over to Polley's cot looked at him a min
j
bucket which he placed near the head
Of Polley's cot. He then sprinkled lit
tie chloride of lime on the ground and
went away. Policy became worse and in
a short time had a chill so severe that the
cot on which he lay shook. Again the
nurse was called.
This man is in awful shape and
you must call doctor We insist on it.
..The nurse looked at the sick man. and
getting a blanket placed it over him. By
this time the boys from the Sixty-fffth
were indignant and some remarks passed
between Danford and the nurse.
''I have had orders 10 pay no atten-
ton to any of the men in this ward
finally explained the nurse. None of you
Is sick enough to need a doctor.
THE order to the nurse referred TO was
sle statement made by Dr. Meade when
he supposed that the last load of sick
men sent to the hospital were all conva-
lescents. For Gods sake the men cried,
you don't intend to leave man to die
without any doctor, order or no order.
do your
The nurse went away, and although
the soldiers made every attempt possi-
bic to get a surgeon for Policy.
they were unsuccessful. In the after
noon a new hospital attendant came on
duty, and as soon as the soldiers saw
him he was told of Polley's condition,
which had constantly grown worse. One
look al the sick man satisfied him of the
seriousness of the case, and in a few
minutes a surgeon came in and exam
ined Policy. 1t was then o'clock. five
hours after his arrival in the hospital,
and the surgeon stated that soon as
his attention had been called by the new
attendant he had hastened to the case.
"A rapid examination of Polleys cond-
ton showed that he had typhoid of
probably two or three weeks standing,
and that his condition at the time was
most serious and due to neglect. Other
surgeons and nurses were called and for
over half an hour the entire force work
ed on the sick man. Stimulants We're
given him, and after awhile he was pro-
nounced out of danger

For two years he was captain of the
Eastern High School football team. He
was a member of the Metropolitan Bap-
tist Church.
His remains were inferred at Santiago
with military honors the day after his
death. Over his grave squad, composed
of members of his company, fired vol

vice This was the last act of any of
the companies of the District regiment
before leaving Cuba for Montauk Point.
- AS soon as the District troops were or
dered home John Maupin obtained per-
mission to have his brothers body disin-
TERED and brought home. He was also
given leave OF absence TO accompany the
remains 10 this city.
No definite arrangements have yet
been made for the funeraI OF the dead
hero. AS soon as the remains arrived
yesterday they were removed to Congress
sional Cemetery. where they were placed
in a vault. 1t is the desire of the parents
that their boy be buried in the National
Cemetery at Arlington tomorrow. This,
however, may be impossible, owing to
the probability that the remains cannot
be kept in the vault at Congressional
Cemetery untn that time. In the event
that it is not possible for the remains to
be kept in the vault where they now lie
the funeral service will take place this
afternoon at Congressional Cemetery.
