MANY WERE INCOMPETENT.
Surgeon Frye Of Srd Division Hospital Csiti
cises Contract Surgeons and Nurses.

Jacksonville, Oct. 19.-The war in
sions in the City hall. today, examin-
ing a large number of regmental and
other officers. One of the most out
spoken witnesses of the day was DIR.
Frye, of the 3rd Division hospital. He
condemned some of the methods IN
vogue in the hospitals and said that
in many cases the contract physicians
and members of the hospital forces
were incompetent. The commission
has decided that one of it's members
should be in the commissions office at
Washington and Col. DENLY has been
selected for this service. He was Sc
lected partly for the reason that his
health has not been as robust as when
in Washington.
The war investigating committee be-
gan it's work in it's new quar-
tiers, today. with Major Noble
II. Creager, depot quartermas-
ter on the stand. He said there never
had been any serious shortage of sup
plies in the 18th Corps and he was sure
there has been no suffering caused by
a deficiency Of supplies. In the begin
ming of the history the camp there
had been some complaint as to the
been an improvement in this respect
in recent months. He had also mad
some little difficulty in securing
proper assortment of sizes, but had
been able to meet the demands of the
men in this respect.
Major Creager was followed by Con-
gresham Campbell, colonel of the 9th
Illinois Volunteers, who was question
of the troops in the field and asked for
suggestions for the benefit of the ser
vice. He spoke in complimentary
terms of the administration of the
officers of the army. saying that requi-
sitions of all kinds had been promtly
filled and that the quality of the arti-
cles supplied were generally good.
There had been some complaints how
ever, as to the character of the refrig-
orator beef, but investigation had de-
veloped the fact that while the meat
had been received in good order it had
spoiled because of exposure in hot
weather. The difficulty was overcome
yb substituting ham for beef.
Col. Campbell expressed the opinion
that the principal cause os sickness in
the camp was the drilling in the early
morning when the dew was on the
ground. This was the mistake of his
regiment, as the command had been
anxious to excel, but they had now
secured revocation of the order for
practice. He said there were very few
or his men who were now homesick
he did not believe that to exceed 5 PEI
cent. of the soldiers would return home
IN preference to going to Cuba if giyer
choice. He had no suggestions Il
make beyond a request that his regi
ineht be supplied with the Krag- Jor.
