The camp here is"a Jargene with about fifteen sub-divis-,1ons of "troops, to say nothing of the hospitals. . There are a great many regulars here, and among them many who participated! in the Santiago cam paign, i Many of these will be examined -ty- the commission. The, Investigation h!ere 'will be directed especialy' to :th'rh ; procuring of facts concerning the man agement of the hospitals and the care oi me Cuba. sick while the army was in The commission began thd examlna- tion of witnesses today, with. General Xouis II. Carpenter, who is im command during'General jWheeler's absence. He . had been at Chickamauga; Tampa and at Fernandlna before coming here. He i said the camp at Chickamauga was too crowded. That rat Tampa was unsat- isfactory, but 'it.: was not intended to be permanent, i That ; at Fernandina was - ideal. The; food .'Supply had been ample throughput, but; quartermasters, supplies were generally slow and there bad been especial trouble in securing tents,- There was more . difficulty' in getting' supplies at Tampa than , else where, because of railroad congestion. ' Major Chas.; M. Gandy, the surgeon 'who was in charge of the KMitUcal sup ply-depot at Tampa,-sid he had" feenj able to fill all ,reanable requisitions for medical supplies with promptness, but many Iwlky 'articles for which sub stitutes could be had were not supplied. gtuar troops were easily satisfied, but the volunters .were exacting. Still, there were delays and he mentioned one instance of supplies ordered from New York that jwere not received for two ;montns. He had fitted out the Shafter; expedition for Cuba and thought that in the main the expedi tion was fairly supplied. ! "This was es pecially true of the; first requisition., He had afterward heard that many of he stores came j back to Tampa in thV 'hold of the Iroquois, He gave the' name of Captains Munson "as authority for the 'latter statement . and he was : sure that Captain Munson' would testi-; 'fy willingly and-fully'; :.?'.. ' During the afternoon session of the jommis '.sion a number, of officers .who ;"had sei'ved in the Santiago campaign and in Florida were examined. ; Gener al G. S. Carpenter said the sick St Santi ago had; suffered somewhat on account of the 'deficiency of medi--cines an d medical s supplies, but this tvas the only deprivation of which he spoke.'' 7 'he troop'did notrreceive the entire ra Joh. while in the field, but "he was qu'ite vsure" that no man in the command had gone hungry, i : Captain Teo. S. Cartwrighti who had been aide t o Gtneral Kent in the San tiago camp. iJgn.J ;said 1 that ' doubtless some of the mea -had ibeen hungry- at times, but b:e thought the excitement of battle hacf sustained them.

Thomasson; .surgeon-oi ,TMrtv-hird Michigan: who had served in the general hospital at Mon tauk point after Augst 17th, said that in August there1 were COO patients in the hospital and 1 that thexe were often eight in a tent. There were in the be ginning or his service not sufficient cots and some men had to sleep on blankets. Some of the members of the hospital corps -were without- tracing, but he had known, jpf .but one instant in whch the hospital refuse was thrown cfut on the ground beside the tent. .There were times when there was not a suf ficient number of. attendants. As a rule the surgeons were capable; but when he went into the institution there was a sad deficiency: in numbers, i H$ had heard no complaint of ill treat ment from patients, but there was crit icism from' outsiders. . He thought deaths were caused by the removal of patients. before they were in condition jto be .moved; yet the removals were 'made to make place for others wh,o Iwere still sick ; and who, otherwise, jwould not have j found a place in the hospital. In one instance he had been told to get 300 readr for! removal, Dut when going through the ; hosuital he had found only: ; seventy fit to be moved and had; demanded a .written order. This order he did not get and, therefore, ; removed . only the seventy. He estimated that from 200 to 500 had been thus prematurely removed. ' I "Overcome! eviliiM'iUa gppd.
