Were Negligent In Caring for Returning
Soldiers
Ean Francisco, Nov. 5.OThe Exam
1ner says that the most sensational re-
port OF a military board Of inquiry ever
sent to the War Department from this
city was forwarded to Washington
from the headquarters Of Major Cen
eral 6hafter few days ago. The doc
ument consists Of nearly 100 typewrit-
ten pages and contains the severest
kind Of criticism Of the methods en-
ploysd by the officers in charge Of the
sick soldiers who returned from tho
Philippines on the transports Tartar
and Newport on October 10th.
Upon Major Rafter, the surgeon Of
the Twentieth Kansas Volunteers, who
came back on the Tartar, the heaviest
censure 10 laid Colonel Metcalf Of the
same regiment, who commanded the
troop ship, General Funston being only
passenger, Is indirectly referred to.
Many other officers arc given hard
consure Of criticism, but their names
are being withheld until the War De-
partment sees fit to make known the
details Of the report.
The board Of inquiry which has 30
severely arraigned the transport ser
vice, was appointed by General Shat
ter two weeks ago at the suggestion Of
Colonel Alfred O. Girard, chief surgeon
In the general hospital at the Presidio.
Colonel Girard's desire for an investi.
CATION was occasioned by the deplor-
able condition In which he found the
dck men from the transports, Tartar
and Newport. There were about forty
Of them and nearly all were suffering
from dysentery.
Three men who came on these trans
ports died few days after their ar
rival They were John Fablsak and
John A. Logan Of the Fourth cavalry,
and George w. Mills of the Twentieth
Kansas.

to their congressman or circulate petit

pipe was q nange or funnel. which
looked like the end of a trumpet with
the wide end facing the ship. Tho iron
pipe was stuffed with oakum to pre-.

This novel construction was quite

thorities furnish these appliances and
oblige all ships to use them whenever
they come from part infected with

on the ship coming On shore. 1t II
generally conceded that the plague has
been carried and spread by rats which
have left ships coming from infected
ports. 1t is known that rats make use
Of the cable to come on shore. and this
iron pipe. with its funAsl-shaped ar
rangement was employed to prevent
such visits, II possible. These devices
are attached to each cable BY which
the ship il moored. IN addition to this
precaution the master Of the ship Ia
obliged to take down his loading

Direct From Manila.

The Rapid City Journal Of the 18th
inst. notes the arrival of Boyd Lambert,
a member of Co. NJ. Of hat place. lie
left Manila November %, having re-
ceived his discharge and mileage short
" before. lie came home via Hong
Kong, remaining six days in China,
during which time he visited Canton,
Yokohoma and several other Chinese
cities. Among the other sights he saw
the emperor and empress Of the Celes-
tial empire.
In conversation with a Journal re-
porter Mr.. Lambert gave some news
concerning Co. NJ. and the South
Dakota regiment, from which we clip
the following:
"The company had fine quarters when
Boyd left, but he ia of the opinion that
the regiment is nov over at lloilo-pro-
%nounced Eloelo-as ut the time he left
the company was in about the best
shape Of any, only four men being I'M
able for duty and they were fast becom-
ing so. Two Of the four were Will
Shuettler and Charley Day, the latter
gaining a little faster than Will Both
have had a hard run of typhoid fever,
but both we're nearly well. Referring
to the hospitals he said he thought the
care given TO the men in the division
hospitals was about equal to that of the
Red Cross, and if he had to take his
chances in either he would go to a div
ision hospital. The report is current
that the doctors give one kind of a pill
for all diseases and when asked about
it Boyd replied that that was the case
to some extent when the boys were
trying to get off duty, but when they
were really sick they got as good care
as could be given. The food being is.
sued is o all right, and altogether
things were far from being as bad as
has been reported in some of the news
papers"
