General Wheeler said yesterday that
Lieutenant Colonel Mark of the medi-

People had an idea that the water
came from the fresh water pond. Gen.

The water was drawn from wells 200
and 300 feet deep. Women passing
through the camp were displeased by
seeing that some tents did not have
floors and fancied that the men must
sleep on the ground, but this was not
true.
