MORE CHICKAMAUGA COMPLAINT.
How PennsyIvanians Suffered There
Troops Drilled Into sickness.

CAMP MEADE, MIDDLETOWN, PA,
November S.-The War Investigating
Commission began business at the Lo-
chiel Hotel this evening, with three men,
bers present-Generals Beaver and Will
son and Captain Howell This afternoon
they paid a visit to Camp Meade, and
were shown over the city OF tents by
General Young.
The only witness this evening was
Captain Frank n. Moore. of the Ninth
Pennsylvania, who gave testimony con-
corning the condition or things at the
Chickamauga camp. Eighty-two men OF
Moore's company were sick at one time
and three of his men died from typhoid
fever. one of whom was his brother. He
ascribed his death partly to the nurses
at Letter Hospital. He criticised the
food supply and complained of the lack
of medical supplies. He thought the
water supply and sinks were responsible
for the epidemic of typhoid. Many days
his company had only barrel and
half of water, and this had to be hauled
over four miles. The potatoes and salt
pork were often bad, and the latter was
frequently filled with maggots.
A SICKENING MARCH.
Moore said that much of the sickness
In his company was due to a long march
TO a review by General Sanger.
The Commissary Department would not
issue disinfectants, and the regiment was
compelled to buy what medical supplies
were not donated by citizens.
Moore claims that hogs wallowed in
Crawfish Spring, and his men were for
hidden to use this water. Surface springs
supplied the regiment with water. Moore
said that the rattle of talk in the cor
ridors in Letter Hospital was annoying
TO the sick soldiers.
General Wilson wanted to know of the
witness whether the streams above the
intake pipe were tributary 10 Chicka-
p1auga creek Moore could not say def
niteley. but said these streams were pol
luted by horses and mules constantly.
SPOILED RATIONS UNRETURNABLE.
The witness stated that it was his ex-
perience that spoiled rations could not be
returned to the commissary. The briga-
dier-general in command would not allow
sinks TO be placed the proper distance
from the tents, because he claimed they
would encroach upon the parade ground
too much. Sometimes, when sinks would
overflow after a rain, the ground would
be covered with maggcts. Moore had a
poor opinion of the competency OF the
superior officers. and said the Sanger re-
view included an eight-mile march, with
the thermometer at 1l5 degrees In the sun.
and the men in heavy marching order.
He thought the Ninth Pennsylvania was
practically drilled and worked into the
epidemic Of sickness they contracted.

ANOTHER OUTBREAK NOT Alto

DECLARE THEY ARE PREPARED.

Respond to Orders at Moments
Notice-ColoncI Croxton IL Deter
mined TO Enforce Obedience.

KNOXVILLE. TENN, November a.
Especial )-Outwardly there is a peaceful
aspect to the scenes in the camp of the
Sixth Virginia to-day but it cannot be
denied that another outbreak OF the me-
gro troops Is not altogether improba bic.
There is reason-probably, more than
one-to be assigned for the statement.
Upon the authority of members of the
regiment, it is learned that the men are
all prepared for any emergency which
they may bring on themselves, or which
may be forced on them. The story being
circulated by members of the regiment
Is to the effect that the night before the
trouble Of yesterday the ammunition lcnt
Of the regiment was entered by represon-
tatives Of all the companies in the CON-
mand and $500 rounds of ammunition
stolen. The ammunition was distributed
regiment who anticipated taking Dart
in the revolt against the white officers.
Lieutenant-Colonel Croxton is hoping that
there will be no further trouble.
The camp was ordinarily quiet to-day.
None Of the negroes were allowed passes
to the city, save those who went on busl-
ness for officers or those known to the
commanders of the different companies
to be thoroughly reliable.
READY TO RESPOND.
During Wednesday night, and until some
time this morning, the regiments
which were ordered under arms on oc-
count of the trouble were allowed 10 re-
a IN ka ~
which was issued each man. The seri-
BUSINESS of the situation can be more fully
realized when it is known that within
a few hundred yards of the Sixth Vir-
ginia there waited three regiments ready
10 respond to orders to move at a half
minutes notice. Not more than TWO
minutes would have been necessary 10
get them on the scene. The commanding
officer of the regiment. Colonel Croxton,
has notified Governor Tyler Of the action
of the men, and that official will have
something to say within a short time as
to whether the regiment Will be mustered
out of service. Many of the men made
out their applications for discharge to-
day, and others will have theirs ready
by tonight. 1t is estimated that two
thirds of the members will ask for their
discharges.
UNDER CLOSE GUARD.
A close guard was put over the res!-
ment late this afternoon. The commander
is determined TO preserve order, and
should the men revolt again there would
be serious trouble without the shadow of
a doubt. Colonel Croxton has promised
the men that their applications for dis
rnissal shall have immediate attention.
All OF the drills to-day were held without
the slightest trouble, but the men, IT
could be seen plainly, were thirsting for
a technicality on which to base some sort
of an uprising.
