well, the United States naval attache.
and Senator WOlcOtt of Colorado and
numerous ladies, included many prom
inent military and naval officers, in all
about 300 persons.
Mr.. BigelOw's address, in brief, was
the warmest eulogy of the American
regular troops and of the raw material
volunteers, but was severe condemna-
ton Of the political element which,
he declared, governed all appointments
and contracts.
He said that on his own personal
knowledge, as a result of the lack of
organization and supplies before the
first transport left Tampa, the Amer
lean army presented many features in
cident TO a disastrous campaign. There
was, Mr.. Bigelow added, a complete
breakdown of all the machinery for
providing soldiers with food and equip
staff officers, who were as helpless in
their new uniform as clergymen in a
coming tower
Tneficiency of Departments.
Mr.. Bigelow further asserted that
When he exposed the matter, there
being slim time to remedy it, he was
met with a storm of indignant denials,
and some of the newspaper correspond
ents at Tampa raised the question
whether he should be strung up to a
sour apple tree or gently disposed of as
a harmless lunatic.''
Since then, the speaker continued, the
commander-in- has given public
testimony that several, if not all of the
military departments were scandalously
inefficient: that embalmed beef was
served TO the men. and Mr.. Bigelow ad-

views OF the matter. General Morris
said:
I'VE all feel as thoroughly patriotic
as the American Mr.. Bigelow has
shown here today. but it is our duty

and scores of their people who have
heretofore not expressed themselves,
now declare the killing of Tom Baker
an outrage, and say the Bakers should
