General Shafter.
New York, Aug. Current
criticisms upon the medical de-
partment of the army in connec-
ton with its work at Santiago de
Cuba are untimely and unjust, /"
said Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas
Sem, chief surgeon of the operat-
ing staff on the hospital ship Re-
lief. to-day.
Every one knows by this time
that some one blundered, and
blundered more than once. Who
it was L cannot say, but 1 will say
for the medical department that it
did all that could be expected of
it under the circumstances, and
that it overcame obstacles which
should never have been allowed to
confront it, and which should have
been removed by the general com
manding instead of being entirely
ignored by him.
"It is matter of record that
practically all of the suggestions
made by the surgeons with Gener-
al Skaters army we're disregarded
until General Miles arrived from
Washington. For instance. the
moment arrived at Sibouey and
saw the filthy, sickly refugees
lounging about the general hos
pital in communication with our
soldiers, then suffering slight at
tacks of fever. and other minor
ailments, I realized that unless
something were done at once un-
told harm would result. 1 dis
patched messenger to General
Shafter at once, asking him to as
sign company of infantry to the
hospital to drive out the refugees
and to keep our sick separated from
them. This request was refused.
The next day Colonel Greenleaf
demanded battalion of infantry
for the same purpose.
General Shafter sent t1back word
that he needed all his men and
that we must look after the hospi-
tai ourselves. When General
Miles arrived he gave us a whole
regiment and the camp was cleared,
but too late; the damage hadsbeen
done.
Another trouble was those
filthy buildings a Siboney, in
which our troops were quartered.
Seemingly the dirtiest one was Sc
lected for the postofice and in a
short time the postmaster was
stricken with the fever and died.
No one knows the extent of the
damage done by allowing the men
to go in and out of those buildings,
YET our requests to have them
burned were ignored by General
Shafter, and they were not destroy
ed until General Miles landed and
saw the conditions which we were
forced to confront. General Shat

WIN Gen. Lee eset to CuDa9

IL AI-5AAs 44S1s1 I-5l ~ A|AlDt-&
It has been thought all along
that Fitzhugh Lee was to be made
Governors General Of Cuba. chiefly
because he deserves that appoint
ment of all others and there is no
man better fitted for the office.
H is now suggested that the
President may be persuaded for
political reasons to set aside Gen.
Lee and give the position to some
partisan who .shas to be taken care
OF" We decline to believe this.
The President we believe has tried
to rise above party considerations
in these matters and has to some
degree succeeded despite the con-
trary efforts of the Hannas, Gros-
venors and others, who largely
control his administration He
has not always done SO in the face
of pressure, but he has shown a
disposition to dc the right thing
and to rise above political pull. .
He has certainly, through unwise
appointments, and host of camp
horrors. learned the grievous re-
suits of mixing politics and person
al favoritism with war.
If Mr.. Mckinley should send
Fitzhugh Lee to Havana with in
structions to harmonic the con-
ficting elements and bring about
the establishment of stableRgov-
ernment the act will receive hearty
approval in all parts of the United
States. Should he pass over Gen.
Lee to crafty the ambition of some
one with partisan pull or to
pay political obligation. the coun-
try will be sorely disappointed not
only on Gen. Lees account but in
their estimate of the President

The best way to build up-a town
is to stand by every man in the
place who does right. Whenever
a man is doing well do not tear
him down. ALI residents should
be partners, not opponents. In all
livelihoods the more business your
rival does. the more you will do.
Every business man who treats his
customers honestly. courteously
and fair will get his share, and the
more business that can be secured
by united effort the better it will
be for all. When town ceases to
grow it begins TO die, and more
people try to kill each other in
their business the more readily will
utter ruin come to all. Stand to-
gether for the advancement of ev-
cry citizen. IF man shows abili-
ty to prosper do not pull him back
through jealousy, or weigh him
down through a cold Indifference.
