SICK SOLDIERS I'LL TREATED.
Government Will Investigate Alleged
Abuses in Medical Department..

Washington, August Am effort will
be made by the war department to ascer-
tain the official at Skaters headquarters,

done the officers OF his department in the
criticisms made of the use of the trans
ports in bringing the sick and wounded
north, and in the preparation for the
journey. AS matter of fact, he said TO-
day he did not know that the Concho
was to be used for a temporary hospital
ship, the first intimation OF that charac-
ter being received when a telegram
reached him announcing the arrival of
the vessel at Norfolk.
