TEA NOVELIST AND GEN. SHAFTER
How the Tea Novelist Tried to Get

the Santiago campaign which appeared in
Cne of our magazines and which was writ

of some more or less successful afternoon

The indignation must sooner or later be

ma gaZine article to crafty some private
resentment.

According to this story, this Correspon-

general to permit him and one other to De

Gen. Shafter replied that the request
could not be granted because that would be
unfair discrimination. His desire was to
treat all the correspondents exactly alike,

to discriminate in favor of or against any
part of the American press.
Thereupon the correspondent inS Sted thai

Gen. Shafter to that replied that he could

SEAMAN CHARGES NEGLECT
Surgeon of First Regiment Volunteer En-
gineers Makes Statement.
He Declares That Mortality Among
Troops in Cuba Was Mainly
Due to IncOmpetcncy.
From the New York Times, today.

From the New York Times, today
The statements made by Col Charles II.
Gibson on Tuesday. when he arrived here
on the OLDHAM, were indorsed yesterday by
Dr. Louis Livingston Seaman of this city,
surgeon of the 1st United States Volunteer
Engineers. Col. Gibson was the field COM
missioner of the NATIONAL Relief Association
and the special commissioner of President
Mckinley to Cuba. DIR. Seaman had charge
of the convalescents returning from Ponce.
I've got a lot to say, but now | am an
officer of the government and must keep
quiet" said DIR. Seaman to a reporter for
the New York Times yesterday at army
headquarters
YES, major, but there are a few ques-
tions you might answer. Can't you tell
why the men on the OLDHAM took such a
dislike to Capt. Allen?'
No not now. | can't talk. I've got
these straps me. but the day will come
when l will talk. Capt Allen is a specimen
of imbecile Algerism that l do not care to
think about"
that Col. Gibson says @he is going to make
to the President?'
Il know that it is the truth, and that
Col Gibson knows what he is talking about
The facts are very plain. Thins of 200 men
dying every day, just because of the mall
administration of the quartermaster' de-
partment.
Ny own regiment the 1st Engineers
however was sent into the dirty Cuban
prisons to repair them for hours and was
exposed TO all kinds of hardships. and for
days slept in from six inches to two feet of
water. and yet 1 lost only two men. Why?
Because they were properly taken care of.
They were not allowed to eat fruit when it
was known to be the worst thing they could
eat. They had proper food. And l maintain
that with proper care any regiment can
live in any country
For instance" continued the doctor, ''I
will say, What did they put on this ship
for 200 convalescents?' Well, there was
canned corned beef. canned beans, canned
tomatoes, pork, hardtack and little coffee.
If | had given any of those boys on the
OLDHAM as much as a teaspoonful of such
food canned tomatoes they would have
died right and left
Where did you get your supplies?'
Everything those men had came from
the National Relief Association and the
Red Cross Society. The government pro-
vided nothing Now, that's nice reflection
| on the United States, isn't it? You can
| depend that Col. Gibson sees this matter as
| l do
| Have you heard it reported that they
| are whitewashing this matter at Washing
| ton?"
| They'd better not God help any man

He then refcrEed TO the death of Private
Sweeney aboard the Obdam. The major said
that a report hf{d gone forth that Sweeney
had died of ngslect. He wished to state
that the boy died from the effects of a fall
while walking along, the deck; that he was
very frail and weak, and that death was
caused by cerebral concusson. The lad
had every attention and care during the
voyage.
Yesterday the men who were under DR..
Seaman's care on the Obdam presented to
him an address. which has been forwarded
to Surgeon General Sternberg. The address,
among other things, says:
In our weakened and depressed condition
we were provided with nothing but army
supplies or rations. upon which we We're
to subsist for a voyage of six days, which
has through accident, become one of two
weeks. Becoming acquainted with the con-
dition of affairs, the kind and conSiderate
Dr. Seaman would not permit the transport
to leave until he had made personal visit
to the headquarters of the National Relief
Association and the Red Cross Society, and
procured for US such supplies as were suit
able for men in our physical condition We
feel convinced that had it not been for the
untiring and self-sacriiicing labors of Major
Seaman our ship would have been the scene
of great distress and loss of life, instead of
her well-cared-for and healthy conat:c-,."

Possibly a Democratic Delegation
From Virginia..

The republicans are so split up in Virginia
that the democrats are liable to send SOL
id delegation from that state, gaining two
districts. There is a Hard fight for the two
Washington districts, now held by the dem
ocrats, with the result much in doubt, but
the democrats seemingly having a little the
best chance. The SenatorShip also is in
volved in this fight. The chief reliance of
the republicans is in the fact that Wash
since the last election. Republicans say
that the democrats may gain one district in
West Virginia and the democrats claim two.
Information from republican sources is that
the democrats may gain one district in Wis
consin-the second. The democrats will
probably hold their seat from Wyoming.
All this is simply what appears on the
surface. What is working on the inside the
best political forccaster would find difficult
to guess.
