PROMPT ACTION IS NEEDED Convalescents :Sent Out So Weak That Several Have Died While Waiting for Trains to Take Them Home. Supplies Short. A Ghastly Story of Cruel and Inhumane Treatment. Camp Tho-mas, Chickamauga Park, Aug. 26,—The condition of the hospit- als at Camp Thomas Is deplorable. General Breckinridge will insist upon a congressional investigation and the in- quiry may result It one of the greatest scandals in the history of the army. The head officials have showu them- selves grossly incompetent and igno-~ rant of the management of the Chick- amauga. hospitals and scores of deaths h-aveAresulted from such incompetency. Supplies are wanting, men are cruelly and inhlumanely treated and the hos- pitals reek in filth. The nurses are few and inexperienced and many sur- geons are ignorant of their work. It is an actual fact that hundreds of patients in the New York regiments are this morning lying on the ground suffering with typhoid. They are with- out cots and receive no attention. A surgeon comes around once in a great while to look at the sufferers: He may then make a requisition for some cots, ice, etc., and perhaps in three or four days the supplies will come and perhaps they will not. In the mean- time some of the peer fellows succumb to the illness. If all the facts were known, the country would, indeed, be shocked. When the First Illinois cavalry was ordered to leave the mountain there Were about twenty-six men in their little hospital, where one died late Sun- day afternoon. One of the twenty men, who was desperately ill, was neverthe- less ordered vto dress himself and be ready to move. He protested and one kindly young physician remonstrated. but those in charge were obduraite, and the sick man, 'too feeble to lift him- self, a-fter two unsuccessful attempts to rise from his bed, was placed again on his poor cot, where within a few hours he died. This is only one individual in- stance. The bodies of the soldiers, so the un- dertakers say, afe being operated upon in the interest of science. The skull of one body which a correspondent saw had been split, the brain removed and the head stuffed with the coarsest’of hay. - - Hundreds of weak and emaciated convalescents are sent to the city to take trains for home. They lie all day long on the depot floors, too weak to rise. They are without food or atten— tion, unless some kindly passerby gives aid. Several of them have died while waiting for trains. ,_ 1 Not half has been told of the hospital horrors at Chickamauga. These are facts gathered from personal observ- tion and knowledge. Camp Thomas is fast breaking up. The park is to be placed in a better sanitary condition. The chief quarter- master was yesterday directed to ex- pend $60,000 in ditching and draining the park properly. This work has al- ready been commenced. General H. H. Boynton is at Chickamnuga and Gen- eral Breckinridge is preparing to relin- quish his command to him on next Monday. About half of the Eighth New York regiment men are sick. The officers and men are crying aloud to be released from service and sent home. Hazleton Strike Ended. Hazleton, Pa.., Aug. 26.—The seven hundred coal miners and laborers em- ployed in 'the Audenried and Honey- brook st-rippings of the Lehigh and W'ilkesbarre Coal Company, who went on strike Wednesday, returned to work yesterday. All is quiet at the mines, and no further trouble is expected. ,'The men struck because of what they claimed to be the unjust discharge of two Hungarian laborers. It looked for a. time as though the strike would be a, repetition of last year’s bitter struggle, which ended in the killing of a. number of strikers by sheriff’s deputies, but the prompt and decisive action of Superin- tendenit Richards in posting a notice that if 'the men were not at work yes- terday morning 'the mines would be shut down for the rest of the year, pro- duced a wholesome effect on the strik- ers. They claim that the two discharg-- ed men will be reinstated. . Volunteer Disbandment. Washington, Aug. 26.-O-rders were Issue-d yesterday to muster out the fol- lowing: ' Fourth Pennsylvania infantry, Sixth Illinois infantry, Second Wisconsin in— fantry, three Louisiana, light batteries. two Rhode Island light batteries, two Iowa light batteries, Itwo Oregon light batteries, First Wisconsin ligh't bat- tery, two troops of Kentucky cavalry, Light Battery A, Missouri artillery; Twenty-seventh light battery of Indi- ana .artillery, and light batteries A, B and C of Pennsylvania.

Washington, Aug. 26.—-Or'ders have been received directing General Miles to send home from Porto Rico all troops not actually needed for service there. No point has been designated yert for their d‘isembarkation in the United States, but an examination of several sites is in progress. It is desired to secure a. healthful camp. and at the same time one where disembarklaition can take place at once without any de- lay, such as occurred at Montauk. It is expected that some of the troops to be sent home will sail. to-day or to— morrow. The first arrivals will he landed in New York city. Called on Admiral new”...

Ask yourself thesis quarters with General seems to have settled down. “I am very favorably impressed with q the location of the camp,” he said :to a reporter this morning. “It is easy enough of access, and it has a bracing , atmosphere and good, water. that its condition is growing better ev- ery day and I am persuaded that with- in a short time there will be no further cause for complaint. Undoubtedly there has been confusion and therefore great discomfort, but that is due to the haste with which the preparations were made. The army had to be moved from Santiago without waiting I find‘ for perfection in the detail of the pro-* visions for its reception here. There was confusion, as a matter of course, and complainings as a matter of course, too. It seems to me that the general conditions are good and that the pro- gress has been satisfactory.” The secretary was very guarded in What he had to say about the sanitary condition of the camp. It was evident from his tone that the little things he had seen here and there had grated on his sense of cleanliness. He had sug- gestions to ‘make under this head, and with reference to the improvement of the drainage system. "They are get- ting along pretty well" was his com— ment on the condition of the general hospital. Secretary Alger, continuing, said that the volunteers would be mustered out beginning to—day, but he was not sure what regiment would be the first dis— charged. Vv’hen this news got abroad there was great joy in the volunteer quarters. ' Yesterday he gave directions that two thousand quarts of milk should be distributed through the camp daily. The transport Mohawk arrived last night with 1,199 men of the Eighth Ohio volunteers. There were 130 sick aboard and 92 sick had been left in the hospit- als at Santiago. One man, Eddy by name, died on the voyage over. The troops are being landed to-day. There are 1,122 sick in the hospitals Irf whom two hundred are typhoid pa- (ien'ts. There is room for but a few more Dr. Brown said that 150 men were ready to leave in Order to make room for others who are in greater need of good care. The postalrarrangements are in good working order. The receipts amount to nearly 20,000 letters daily, and they are called for by regimental orderlles and distributed to the men regularly. The mail that has been lying at Tampa is beginning to arrive; and the Santiago mail is coming in on the transports. The men are receiving month old let- ters, some of them registered. Tele- grams sent to Mon'tauk station are not delivered. There are two hundred or more, clearly addressed, on ' station agent’s desk, waiting to be called for. They should have been addressed to Camp Wikoff. . Lieutenant Tiffany Dead. Boston, Mass, Aug. 26.——Lieutenant “filillie” Tiffany of New York, son of the well known jeweler, and famous for his service throughout the Santia- go campaign with Colonel R-oosevelt’s‘ Rough Riders, died at the Parker house last evening at five minutes after six o’clock. Lieutenant Tiffany was seized with fever in Cuba after Santiago‘s surren- der. When the Rough Riders sailed for Montauk he was left in the hospital but later came north on the Olivette, accompanied by the brother of his fiancee and his own brother, Mr. Bel- mont Tiffany. ‘ He landed in Boston on Tuesday. He was on the convalescent list, and was consequently allowed to choose his own lodgings while the more seriously ill and wounded were sent to the hoSpit- als. He became worse yesterday morhing and passed quietly away shortly after six o’clock last night. Wheat Supply is Small. . Chicago, Aug. 26.—Never in the his- tory of the country have the available supplies of wheat been reduced to such small proportions as they reached this week. Today there are less than 6,000.- 000 bushels of wheat in the public ele- vators of the country, which, in the opinion of the trade, means that stocks are practically exhausted. Of this am- ount nearly one-half is located at Min— neapolis, Duluth and Chicago, with the rest scattered around at seaboard points and in the interior. Some of it is afloat on the lakes, "on passage,” as it is called. Last year at this time the stocks available amounted to 16,750,000 bush-els. and in the middle of August, 1896, they aggregated 45,000,000 bush- els. ‘3, There is, however, an enormous pro- duct of 1898 wheat which will soon be on the market, about 700,000,000 bushels it its estimated. ‘ .____________ Going to Manila.

They will ‘go by the way of the Suez canaland will reach Asiatic waters in the early fall. The' detail for this new eastern squa- dron has not yet been completed, but it is known that the battleship Oregon, the fast cruisers New York and Brook- lyn ‘and probably the battles-hip In- diana are to be overhauled and put in shape for the trip. It is semi-officially admitted that the Oregon is sure to go, and that very probably the other three vessels men- tioned will accompany her.
