Tells War Commission About the

MEDIC AL SUPPLIES SHOE. T
He Says Proper Food for Fever Patients ,
“’as Scarce. DIedical Department Under-
estinmted Probable Casualties at Santi-
ago. Ambulances Unavailable.
Washington, Nov. 8.—Vice Chairman
Denby of the war investigating com-
mission, on returning to Washington in
advance of the commission, took the
testimony of Majm Geneials Lap ton
and A bnei R. Chaffee.
General Chaifee’s testimony was
typewritten, and is now given out for
publication.
General Chaffee was a lieutenant col-
onel in the Third cavalry, but in May
last he was made a brigadier general,
and at Tampa 11+ as placed in command
of the Seventh, Twelfth and Seven-
teenth regiments of infantiy.
TVhen he arrived at Port Tampa he
was ordered to embark his men on the
Cherokee and Iroquois. He discover-
ed that the capacity of the boats had
been overestimated and it was found
necessary to load three companies on
the D. H. Miller.
There was a little delay at Port
Tampa, caused by a report that Spa—
nish ships had been seen in the channel
north of Cuba.
General Chaffee remarked that he
was ignorant of his destination when
he left Tampa. The order of the com-
manding general of the Fifth corps di—
rected him to take ten days’ travel m-
tions, sufficient to last until June 8.
The delay in Tampa bay had not been
accounted for, and when the trans-
ports arrived off Santiago on June 20.
the supply of food was short in some
instances, though the rations had not
been entirely consumed.
General Chaffee said that he thought
that all the transports going to Cuba
were overloaded, but not harmfully
so.
“Did the men actually suffer for ra-
tions?” asked Colonel Denby.
“No, sir,” Gen. Chaffee replied.
“As to the medical attendance on the
transports, how was that?”
“The regimental surgeons were there
with their panniers. The men were
well attended." ‘
General Chaffee described the land-
ing of the troops. The boats from the
navy were to assist, but the only boats
he saw were .the steam launches and
ordinary open boats. He thought the
navy should have handled the boats.
The surf was very high and beat» the
boats considerably. After a landing
was made the troops went into camp.
They had shelter tents.
‘I also cleared a position for the ar-
tillery. On the 30th General Lawton.
General Ludlow, Colonel Miles and my—
self went out over the roads, and on
this occasion General Lawton assigned
to each brigade commander the place
at which he was to arrive that night.
We allmoved out and b‘ivouacked for
the night.
Early on June 24 he marched his
command to the vicinity of General
Lawton’s camp and was ordered to go
to the assistance of General Wheeler.
He saw a dispatch from General Whee-
ler saying that he had met with a lar--
ger force than he expected and asked
for aid. He pushed forward, but on
arriving found the engagement o’er
and the Spaniards in retreat. This 11 as
the battle of Las Guisamas.
“On June 28, 29 and 30,” said Gen-
eral Chaffee, “I did considerable recon—
noitering. Twelve hundred Cubans had
reported for that service and outpost
duty. There were men there who knew
every trail in the country, and they
were of great service to me. I opened
the road toward Caney so that the ar-
tillery could pass. The road was simply
a mule track at first. ,
“General Lawton gave instructions
that my brigade should attack Cancy
from the eastward. On July 1 I sent
the Twelfth infahtry to my left and
I conducted the Seventh and ISeven-
tconth by a roundabout road. joining
the Twelfth infantry about 7 o’clock.
There were six block houses around
Cnncy. ”
General Chaffee said that he had only
o-".= battery of artillery. That knocked
a stone fort to pieces, but there was
{:01 sufllcient artillery to demoralize the
garrison.
"Why did you not have more artil-
lery ?“ asked Colonel Denby.
"Well, it had not been landed,” Gen-
»r':1.‘. Chaffee replied. “I suppose,. per-
!1 ms it was my own fault. The place
turned out much stronger than I had
-.;::,v idea of. I lost fifty officers and
1'. :11 killed and 145 wounded.

would be one surgeon to a battalion.
Colonel Denby inquired whose busi-
.:».s it was to see that enough surgeons
p ovided, and General Chaffee

Speaking of the health of the array
after the fall of Santiago, Genera:
huffce said:
“It is important to understand that
the army was forced to operate in 1'.

exclude the circulation of air. The mu:

continually poisoning the men with
missma. After the surrender the sol--
diers fell sick very rapidly with male.—
rial fever. There were over two hun-
dred sick in the Seventh infantry, in
which it was alleged that yellow. fovrrr
existed, but this I do notcredit. I be-
lieve that the anticipated sickness was
much less than what actually resulted.
Provision was made for about ten to
fifteen per cent, when there was about
forty or fifty per cent. ill."
At l\+1'ontauk everything was being
done for the sick. There were a num-
her of men in all the regiments that
were ill. These men were held in than
camps of the iegiments. Many grew
11' or so in camp and as fast as provision
could be made they were transferred
to the general hospital. The hospitals
were excellent. and every provision
and care that was necessary for [those
mom. I believe was given them.”
In concluding, General Chaffec said
he thought that the supply of medi-
cines for the army in Cuba. was inade-
quate. There was also a scarcity o'
the light food necessary for fever pa-
tients and convalescents.
“If I were to express my opinion in
a nutshell on the whole situation," he
declared. “I would say‘that the lac?!
of medical supplies and of the neces-
sary light food for fever patients was
the only thing regrettable.”
THE WRECKED WARSHIPS.
No More Government Efforts to Raise
Them.
Washington, D. 0.. Nov. 8.—Capta.in
Chester’s decision to abandon the work
of wrecking the Cristobal Colon marks
the end of that undertaking on the
part of the government. It is said a:

his discretion it 1-1 as no longer profitv

king company has been terminated it.
does not follow,that all idea. has been
abandoned of saving some of the. sun-_
ken Spanish warships.
The navy department is ready to en-
gage with thoroughly responsible
wrecking concerns, providing the lat-
ter absolve the government from pay-
ment unless the ships are delivered in
a United States navy yard.
Already one of the largest wrecking
concerns in the world, a. Swedish Or-
ganization, has opened negotiations on
the subject. It is willing to under-
take at once the raising of the Reina
Mercedes, which lies in the channel in
Santiago harbor, and it has indicated
a disposition to undertake the raising
of the Colon. This concern has large
experience in this class of work and
if no American concern able to do the
work offers better- terms, arrangements
probably will be made 31vith it' on the
basis of a cash payment for the ship
dclivercd in the United States.
