Complaint from a HOosier.

RICHMOND, Ind. Aug. 30.-Harry Ken
nepohl, of this city, in camp at Chickamau-
ga, writes home as follows:
THE articles about the surgeons and hos
pitfalls in Chickamauga are worthy Of no
tice. They are not a bit exaggerated. In
our own company a fellow was taken sick
and lay in his tent all day with the Their
mometer at 100 in the shade, and not doc
tor showed up to help him. We boys did
all we could for him, but that was not much
for a fellow as sick as he was. Finally a
doctor came around and ordered him sent
to the division hospital. Two days later he
died of typhoid fever. Then, instead of
making arrangements to have him buried
they placed him in the dead ward and there
ne lay for nearly two days, covered with d
sheet AS soon as Captain Phillips found
out about 1t he made all haste to have him
buried. When he went over to see the
preparations for burial and they raised the
sheet, q swarm of big green flies settled on
the body, and the smell was awful. He
had turned black. could give you dozen

now they get them a furlough and send
them home. If they have no home they are
sent to the St. Vincent or knights of Pyth-
las Hospital at Chattanooga"

WASHINGTON, Aug 30.-The facts as

to the departure of Lieutenant Johnston

General Gomez do not correspond with the
reports teegraphed from Havana and pub
Eshed this morning When the Wanderer
sailed from the Florida coast on her last
trip with supplies for Gomez and the Gu
bans she carried orders to Lieutenant john
ston to remove his detachment and return
to the United States. The orders were not
made public at the time because the war
was not over at that time and 1t was not
deemed prudent to allow the Soaniards to
know that a detachment of United States
soldiers were about to take ship for the
United States, and because general secrecy
was maintained regarding expeditions to the
Cubans until they were accomplished. IL Is
stated that Lieutenant Johnston Withdrew
from Gomezs camp on direct orders from
the War Department.

These propositions and quotations are
mere citation of fact It is matter of con-
lecture, however, whether Article IS could
be invoked without the consent of the Presi-
dent, because he is mentioned in that arti-
Gle.
Under Articles 20 and 25 the War Depart
ment may proceed without consulting the
President in the matter, but it is presumed
that radical procedure of that nature would
not be taken without consulting the Presi-
dent in the beginning. Consequently the
proposed court of inquiry and subsequent
court-martial must ultimately have the APP
prevail of the President.
1t is stated that the President will approve
the proposed procedure.
