onel cabell said he had observed : con-
dition OF affairs at the hospital stan Of
the Second division OF the Third army
corps In June which he considered hor-
rible He had himself seen one sick
man lying without the protection even
Of tent. and he had been Informed by
other officers that several others had
been left in the same way.
He thought the doctors we're honest
enough. but they did not know how to
get supplies. Mule drivers had been used
for nurses. and he had been reliably in
formed that many Of them were in the
habit OF getting drunk and on such oe-
casions neglecting their patients. Colonel
cabell Is lieutenant in the regular
army and was formerly on detached duty
with the Oregon national guard His tes-
tlmony had an evident impression upon
the commission.

that. during the single month Of July.
the lines Of communication maintained
by his corps in Cuba were worth more
to the nation than has been the cost Of
the signal corps OF the army from its
incartion to the present day. He refers
to the ease with which the major gen.
eral commanding the army communicat-
ed with Washington. giving important
information. and received important
orders.
General Greely strongly eOmmends the
use Of the war balloon, and declares that
its utility was thoroughly demonstrated
Concerning the criticism made Of the
balloon operations at Santiago, he says:
'The forcing OF the signal corps back
to the skirmish line. where the position
is reported to nave caused serious loss
to the troops by disclosing their move
ments and attracting the enemy's fire.
