here. Forty-three Ohioans who were too

vile and Chickamauga on its way home
The train reached Atlanta this afternoon

a trip to Lakeland, Fla, will have to be
made from Chickamauga.
The Ohio hospital train reached the south
ern terminus of it's journey last night. Slow
time has been made owing TO various
causes, and the attempt to gain
time by dividing the train and send
ing cars to various points in the extreme
south after the sick has resulted
in just what it was sought to avoid. AT

CROWDED WITH PATIENTS.
New Arrivals More than the Hospitals
VIII Accommodates


CAMP WIKOFF, Montauk Point. N. Y,
Sept. 5-Surgeon General Sternberg arrived
here to-day from Washington to see for
himself how the camp looked and to inquire
into the sanitary arrangements. General
Sternberg tonight said that he had visited
the hospitals and that he had found their
condition excellent He considered that the
camp site had been well chosen. He was
gratifed by all he had seen. He said he
had not come on a special mission, but
simply on d visit of ordinary inspection.
When he returns to Washington he will
make q verbal report to Secretary Alger.
A thick, drenching fog covers the camp to-
night and a cold wind is driving the mois-
ture into the airy tents where there are
1900 sick men.
General Shafter came out of the deten-
ton camp to-day He is somewhat i'm
proved in health. He said that Camp Wikoif
would be continued for some time and al
though many of the troops here were to be
sent away, the camp will be fitted up with
barracks for the accommodation of several
thousand men during inclement weather.
General Wheeler has resumed command Of
the cavalry and General Young will per-
form duties about the camp. General Shaf-
ter is now in full command of Camp Wikoff.
The transport Roumania which arrived
yesterday morning with six hundred troops
from Santiago, was the means Of an addi-
tional test of the capacity of the hospital
in the detention camp. OF the six hundred
men on the Roumanian about two hundred
were so sick that they had to be pur in
the hospital. The authorities of the deten-
ton hospital. although they knew of the
transports arrival. had received no notice
as to the number of sick men they would
be expected to care for.
About o'clock the ambulances with the
sick men began to arrive at the hospital.
The detention hospital will accommodate
$50 men, with eight cots to a tent which
is the normal capacity. BY putting cots In
each tent, $50 patients can be taken care
of, but with corresponding decrease of COM
fort At the time of the arrival of the
sick men from the Roumanian the hospital
already had nearly eco patients and these 200
additional ones swelled the number to about
SEQ or 240 more than the hospital comfort
ably can hold. Although there were enough
cots for the sick soldiers there was not the
space under the canvas 10 place them.
Therefore as a mattress on the floor takes
takes UP less space than a cot, a number
of patients were taken from cots and placed
on mattresses on the floor and the cots re-
moved. Mattresses were also placed be-

begged the doctor to take him to the hos

that Parrett died that night This account
is sent me by Representative Grosvenor, of
