Medical Department Defended.
Surgeon General sternberg of the army
was the last speaker, and after remarking
upon the recent public discussions upon
the alleged foulness Of the medical depart
ment of the army in the late war, an
nounced his purpose to speak Of its success.
There had never been war where the sick
and wounded had received better care than
in our last one. At the outbreak the medi-
ca, department had supplies on hand only
sufficient for an army Of 25ooo men.
He described the benefcent results of the
use OF the first aid to the wounded, ana de-
clarsd the establishment OF Montauk camp

was remarkable achievement, and the
removal of the wounded and sick men from
Cuba to the camp and hospitals along the
coast was deserving of credit and commeu-
dation for the medical department At
Montauk supplies were lavish. Gen. Stern
berg criticised the extravaganza displayed
In the disbursement of supplies. When the
camp was abolished, said he, there were
forty carloads of unused supplies to be re-
m owed. Upon a visit to the camp he had
found that chests of medical supplies had
been buried beneath the quartermaster' 5
stores. For this he did not blame the
quartermaster, nor cid he assume the re-
sponsibility himself. He was. however, re-
sponsible for the selection of Mentauk as a
camp site. and a more suitable place for
the purpose there WAS not. The camp was
well laid out, well managed, and the medf-
cal department was deserving Of credit for
that.
After the speaker had concluded. with
hearty tribute to the medical men of the
army, Of whom at times 10 per cent were
down with sickness as the result of their
labors. the meeting adjourned.

Dr. W. H. Brooks said 1t was evident from
the great attendance at the meeting that the
people were awakened to a sense of the
dangerous condition of affairs, If such OUT
rs ges as those of North and South Ca .olina
were not stopped. He advocated making an
appeal to the better nature of the Ameri-
can people. not to let the rabble rule any,
where He predicted that IL such outrages
were allowed to go on the people who COM
mitted them would be punished by the AL
mighty.

Significant addresses were made last
night before the District of Columbia So
ciety Sons of the American Revolution, at
its November meeting, held at Rauschefs s.
While they were not in any sense prepared,
they were delivered by men peculiarly quail
fed to discuss the various themes selected,
all of which had bearing upon the recent
war with Spain and the impressive lessons
it had taught. The meeting opened with
the transaction Of routine business, includ-
ing discussion Of the coming annual ban

the entertainment committee, and the
president, f. NJ. Gallaudet introduced Brig.
Gen. Joseph c. Breckenridge, inspector gen.

had just passed, and the tremendous effect
they had upon the rest of the world. The
Sons Of the American Revolution, he said,
were also the sons and heirs of all the
newer glory recently obtained. In describ-
ing the battle of San Juan he declared that
where the fire was thickest and the dan
ger greatest the American soldiers were
found in the grea test number and the most
American flags were waving. There was
not a moment, he said, when the entire
army did not feel that all the Spaniards
outside Of Spain could not make it bulge
one inch.

Europe Was Increduious.

Mr.. David J. Hill, assistant secretary of
state, was next introduced. He said he
was abroad during the entire war, most Of
the time In France. 1t was the general
idea throughout Europe that the United
States was entirely unprepared for hostili-
ties. The continentaf nations were astound-
ed at our past Schiefements, but regarded
it ridiculous. that this country should
pretend to be able to raise a vast army in
the course of few Weeks to cope with the
immense standing srpy Spain had in Cuba

Praise of the President.
In conclusion Mr.. HiH caused much en-
thusiasm by speaking as follows:
''The motive of our going to war has
never been understood, hot at least upon
the continent The false impression de-
rived from the earicatures printed Of us
has spread among the people until they
really believe the American people are am
bilious of possessing the earth. and unless
soon curbed will endanger their personal

MIR. Pinchback's Remarks.

Former Lieutenant Governor Pinchback
of Louisiana said 1t was a sad occasion
which brought them together and. after
referring to the recent crimes In North
Carolina, remarked:
We must depend upon the white people
of the republic for justice. We must go to
them and say if you are half as much of
Christians as you profess to be- give us
common justice We must appeal to the
white people of the south to stop the re-
progression which has set in. 1t behooyes
us to stop and consider the position in
which We are placed: to appeal. not to
prejudice, but to the reason of the great
masses of the people wi,--out regard to
party"
He declared there never was such a
thing known as negro domination in North
Carolina, and asserted that Ii would be as
appropriate to say that there was negro
dQmina ton in New York, because Colonel
RooseVelts majority was apparently made
up from the votes of the colored men of
that state, as to say that there had been
negro domination in the south at any time
Reference to the Late Fred. Douglas,
Mr.. Perry H. Carson said he deplored the
fact that no one had arisen to take the
place of the late Frederick Douglas. Were
Douglas alive he would make this world
ring at this time. Where is there, he ask
ed, n man to lead like Douglas He said
the eolored people must stop calling on the
White House for protection and organise.
He did not advocate fighting white people,
he said. but he thought the colored people
