"The carrying capacity of the ship

about 200 sick on board. The bunk ia

ASENSATION IN IT
Board of Inquiry Appointed by
Shafter to Report on the
Matter
Roundly Scores Oficersin Charge
of Sick on the Tartar and
Newport.
Surgeon of the Tartar Says the
Boat Was Fearfully Over
crowded.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-The Elk
amlner says that the most sensational
report of a military board of inquiry
ever sent to the war department. from
this city has been forwarded to Wash
ington from the headquarters of Major
General Shafter. The document con-
sists of nearly 100 type-written pages,
and contains the severest kind of criti-
c1sm of the methods employed by off,
GERS in charge of the sick soldiers who
returned from the Philippines on the
transports Tartar and Newport, Oct. 10.
Upon Major Rafter, the surgeon of
the Twentieth Kansas volunteers, who
came back on the Tartar, the heaviest
censure is laid. Colonel Metcalf of the
same regiment, who commanded the
troopship, General Funston being only
a passenger, is directly referred to.
Many other officers are given a hard
measure of criticism, but their names
are being withheld until the wal de-
partment sees fit to make known the
details of the report.
The board of inquiry which has so
severely arraigned the transport SER
vice, was appointed by General Shafter
two weeks ago., at the suggestion of
Colonel Alfred 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
sick men from the transports Tartar
and Newport. There were about 40 of
them, and nearly all of them were suf-
fering from d~ysentery.
Three men who came on these trans
ports died a few days after arrival.
They were John Fabisak, and John A.
Logan of the Fourth cavalry, and
George w. Mills of the Twentieth Kan
SaS.
