PLENTY OF MEDICAL STORES
Surgeon General Stcrnberg Replies to
the Telegram of Geim-
cml Shatter.
WASHII'GTON , Aug. 9-The foliowing
reply was today Issued by Surgeon General
Sternberg in defense of the medical department -
mont of the army , referring to the telegram
of Major General Shatter :
When the regular fr ops were ordered
into the field commanding ofileers at rogi-
meats vere directed to take with them a
complete field outfit and medical supplies
for three months. I enclose herewith a
memorandum showing medical supplies
which have been sent to the Fifth army
corps at Tampa and at Santiago. The only
requisition for medical supplies received
from the chief surgeon of the Fifth arr.iy
corps at Santiago is one datcd July 23 , by
cable , as follows :
"July 23-Wanted urgently : Quinine tab-
letB , 1,000 bottles ; strychnine tablets , 100
bottles ; caiomel and soda tablets , 100 bot-
tIcs ; calomel , 200 grammes ; nitric atid in
two-ounce vials , 100 test tubes , 1,000 ; FOw-
lee's solution , 1,000. HAVARD ,
"Major , Surgeon , U. S. A. , Acting Chiet Sur-
geon. "
The supplies asked for were sent by the
Olivotte , In addition to a large quOntity of
medical supplies of various kinds which I
had ordered to he put on board that ship
and delivered at Santiago-seo ( memorandum -
dum attached ) .
I beg.leave to state that recent advices indicate -
dicato that a majority of the cases of fever
now occurring among the troops at Santiago
are malarial in character and tint there
has been an ample supply of quinine. which
is ho principal remedy required in this
form of fever. I have made every ollort to
anticipate the wants of our sick and
wounded soldiers in Cuba without waiting
for requirements ; hut as we have communi.
cation by cable , the fault does not rest with
me if , owing to the failure on the part of
the chief surgeon with General Shaftir's
army to ask for necessary supplies , there
has been a failure to meet the requirements
of the sick.
The hospital ship Relief , which arrived at
Sibonoy July 8 , has on board medicines for
twenty regiments for six months , and large
supplies in addition of more important hospital -
pital stores , dressings , etc. If these supplies -
plies were inadequate there was ample time
to inform me of the fact before the sailing
of the Olivetto on July 26.
I encloto a copy of a letter just received
from Captain Edward L. Munson , assistant
surgeon , U. S. A. , which fully accounts for
any ( leticiency of medical supplies at San-
tinge ,

NEW YORK , Aug. 9.-A dispatch to the
herald from Pence via St. Thomas says :
General Milea' invasion of the island of
Porto Rico is progressing in a highly satisfactory -
factory manner , Nothing has taken place
to interfere with the plans finally decided
upon by General Miles and the American
troops are gaining advanced ground every
day. This plan of having the army march
upon San Juan from tour directions is regarded -
garded hero as one of General Miles shrewd.
est movements , lie has the Spaniards in
complete doubt and has assigned a large
cnogh force under cacti general to Insure
successful resistance against Spanish at-
lacks , At the same time by this plan Gen.
oral Miles speedily will have severa1 thousand -
sand Spanish troops shut up in the vicinity
of Aibonito unless the enemy suddenly
changes plans and hastens to San Juan over
the military road. 'There will be a formid.
able American force ready to advance upon
the Porto Rican capital when
the troops under General Henry
form a Junction with those
under General Scitwan at Arecibo. It Is
probable that much of the artillery to be
used In the niege of San Juan will be sent
to Arecibo by transport and taken from
there to San Juan by rail. This will be ft
work easy of accomplishment and General
Henry and General $ cbwan undoubtedly will
be able to form a junction with the other
troops as soon as they can march to time
capital , No opposition is expected by the
American troops in the execution of this
plan. All of our men arc light-hearted and
there is plenty of good food fr all , The
forage for the horses is superb. '
General Miles Is giving lila personal at-
tentlon to the maflagement of the details of
the campaign. Ho intends to press forward
to San Juan regarllcss of the peace negotia-
lions , until orders come from Washington
for hostilities 'to Cease.
PONCE , Island of Porto Rico , Aug. 8.-
( Evonlng.-Deiayecl ) ( in Transmission-
General Henry , with the Sixth Illinois and
the Sixth Massachusetts , will niovo tomorrow -
row by way of Adjuntas on Arecibo , which
is about twenty miles north of Adjuntas , as
the crow flies. A short. stretch of the road
the troops will have to follow is in a very
bad condition. Practically all our troops
will then be in motion in four columns toward -
ward the capital of this island , San Junm
do Porte Rico. General Schwan is at Yauco ,
General Wilson is near Coamo and General
Broolco is at Guayama.
The l'orto Iticans enlisted by General
Stone have been engaged with a small Spanish -
ish outpost between Adjuntas and Utauado ,
On tim road to Arecibo. A skirmish took
place last. night , and during the exchange
of shots one Spanish ofilcer was killed.
Major General Miles , with several troops
of cavalry , expects to follow General hoary
in a day or two. If peace is promptly do-
dared General Miles will be the first to
enter San Juan , going by the railroad from
Arociho to the Porto Rican capital.
In view of the news received here about
the progress of the peace negotiations , all
the American army oflicers appear to believe
that there will be no more fighting. The
fleet is in the harbor of Pence , and Cftptain
Rodgers of the Puritan. who is in , command ,
expects orders at any time to proceed to
San Juan do Porte Rico.
General Miles will probably leave the Ad-
jutantas road In a ( lay or two with a trbop
of the Second cavalry , Telegraphic corn-
munication has boon established between
his headquarters here and all the moving
columns , hut the reports show that all i
quiet.
General 'SVlison's headquarters are now at
Delascrabado rIver ,
General Wilson in person has made a
reconnoissanco within sight of the Spanish
outposts , entrenched a mile this side of
Coamo , and he estimates that the Spaniards
are 400 strong at that. point. General
Ernest's brigade of two batteries , which is
encamped here , indulged in target practice
yesterday.

gives the following particularsof the fight-
tag near Malata on the night of July 31 :
General Greene's force , numbering 4,000
men , had been advancing and entrenching.
The arrival of the third expedition filiod
the Spaniards with rag and they dctcrniined
to gLve battle before Camp Dewey could be
reinforced. The trenches extended from the'
beach 300 yards to the left flank of the in-
surgenta.
Sunday was the insurgent feast day , and
their left flank withdrew , leaving the Amen-
can right flank exposed. Companies A and
E of the Tenth Pennsylvania and the Utah
battery worn ordered to reinforce the right
flank. In the midst of a raging typhoon and
a trcthcndoua downpour of rain the enemy's
force , estimated at 3,000 men , attempted to
surprise the camp. Our pickets were driven
in and the trenches assaulted.
The brave Pennsylvania men never
flinched , hut stood their ground under' a
withering fire. The alarm spread and the
First California regiment , with two coin-
panics of the Third artillery , who fight with
rubs , were sent to reinforce the Pennsyl-
vantans.
The enemy were on top of the trenches
when these reinforcements arrived and
never was the discipline of the regulars
better demonstrated than by tim worlc of ,
the Third artillery under Captain O'Hara.
Nothing could bp neon but flashes of the
rifles. Men ran right up to the attacking
SpaniardB and rnbwed them down with
regular volleys. The Utah battery , under
Captain Young , covered itself with glory.
The men pulled their guns through mud
axle deep , Two gumis were sent around in
flank and poured in a. destructive enfilading
fire.The enemy was repulsed and retreated
in disorder. Our infantry exhausted its
amunition and did not follow the enemy.
Not an inch of ground was , lnst , hut the
ecano in the trenches was never to he for-
gotten. During flashes of lighting. the dead
and wounded could be seen lying in blood
red water , but neither the elements of
heaven nor the destructive power of man
could wring a cry of protest from the
wounded , They encouraged their comrades
to fight and handed over their cartridge
belts.
During the night the Spanish outposts
wore seen carrying oft the dead and wounded
of the enemy ,
'The American 'dead were buried next day
in the Convent of Maracaban.
On the night of August 1 the fighting was
renewed , but the enemy had been taught
a lesson and made the attack at long range
with heavy artillery. The Utah battery replied -
plied and the artillery duel lasted an hour.
One man was killed , Ho was Fred Pning-
sled , First Colorado , and two men were
wounded.
On the night of August 2 the artillery duel
was renewed. 'Two men vere badly
wounded and are this morning reported
dead , which brings the total dead to thirteen -
teen , with ten In the hospital mortally
hurt.
General Greene issued this address to the
troops :
The brigadier general commanding desires
to thank the troops engaged last. night for
gallantry and skill displayed by thorn in
repelling such a vigorous attack by largely
superior forces of Spaniards. Not an inch of
ground was yielded by the Tenth Pennsylvania -
vania and Utah artillery stationed in the
trenches.
-
A battalion of the Third artillery and First
regiment of California Infantry moved forward -
ward to their support through a galling fire
with the utmost intrepidity. The courage
and steadiness shown by all in the engage-
nient is worthy of the highest conimenda-
tion.

prejudices of a century yield in both countries -
tries to a recognition of the common cause
which the English race scattered throughout
tim earth Is now to make for liberty and
civilization.
I'robiomns to fle Solved.
The peace which is now at hand imposes
upon our government problems vastly more
difficult than the prosecution of the war. It
puts the destinies of the Spanish \Vest
Indies at once in our hands. It gives us
Porto Itico-time government of which 'will
probabiy be an easy task-and requires us
to establish a stable and orderly govern-
nient in Cuba agreeable to the people of
the island ,
We have already raised the flag of the
United States over the Hawaiian islands ,
now farnillam' with republican institutions ,
Admiral Dewey , in the harbor of Manila ,
by the most notable exploit iii the history
of the navy , lisa brought us face to face
with the problem of the Philippines. Two
things the American people are already
agreed upon. The first is that we ought not
to desert our insurgent allies in the hour
of our victory and leave them to the tender
mercies of an unrestrained Spanish
despotism , and the second is that the ques-
tiomi is strictly an American one and that
we must not be constrained by the interference -
terferenco of any foreign power whatsoever.
It may be counted as certain that tim flag
of the United States is in the Philippines to
.stay and that whether our government assumes -
sumes sovereignty over the vholo group or
riot , will secure a commercial station
there as will enable us to administer to the
needs of our own commerce and become the
agents and guardians of the peace and
liberty of the islands.
From the beginning to the end of the var

that our people in a strange way have been
subject to the guidance of powers wiser thai.
any human foresight and that we have
come to our present situation in the
providence of God. Without our knowing It ,
or intending it , we have been caught in time
current-in what our fathers used to call
' 1110 course of human events. Up to this
hour we have discharged every duty with
heroism anti self-sacrifice that has taken no
thought for ourselves. It cannot be doubted
that the president of the United States ,
secure in the confidence ofall the people ,
without regard to politics , will go forwarl
in the discharge of every duty which arises
out of our new relations to the civilization
of the world ; and behind him wilt stand the
united millions of our people ready for duty ,
as old Bismarck once said : "In the fear
of God and nothing else. "

( Correspondence of time Associated I'ress. )
BERLIN , Atmg , 9.-Irving M. Scott , who
Is hone with his son , Laurence Irving Scott ,
a Cornell student , and accompanied by his
physician , Dr. George Chmisnmore , was seen
at the Kaiserhoff by a representative of
the Associated I'rcss and expressed himself -
self fully as to his trip to Russia , undertaken -
taken in behalf of the Union Iron 'orks of
San Francisco , whose vice presIdent and
manager lie is.
Mr. Scott , who is the builder of the bat-
tieship Oregon , of Admiral Dewey's flag
ship the Olympia and of the Charleston
nail who showed the reported letters of
congratulation received from Admiral
Dewey , Captain Chadwick of time New York
nail etimers oil the splendid flmhtiog and
speed qualities of hmis vessels , wont to fltis-
sin , where lie stayed a month , tar several
purposes. The main one was to ascertain
on the spot the chances America and more
particularly San Francisco will have in sup.
plying the region around the mouth of the
Arnoor river , including \'ladivostock and
also Port Arthur , vith all sorts of river
craft , deep sea going vessels , ship building
material , railroad material , etc.
Mr. Scott spOnt part of his tIme in St.
Petersburg , and the rest at MoscOw , time
I ainutifueturing center of Russia , and made a
thorough investigation of the situation , lie
"I fetmnd that vast and progressive region
which is beginning to ho known as East
litmssia , along the Pacific and for which San
Francisco is time nearest point of supply ,
rapidly ( lovcloping , and I also found that
limo Russian manufacturers are ahivo to this
fact and that lttsslami : local industry is re-
zuarkably itrogressivo. I was everywhere
received splendidly in Russia and found no
. prejudice against America or American
manufacturers. But I did find a strong
, tendency on the nart of the Rumsalans to
manufacture their own supplies and a
' vigorous encouragement on the part of tim
Ituasian government to aid in this respect.
However , Americans will have as good a
chance as anybody in supplying Russia with
those manufactures and supplies which they
cannot aumply themselves as vehi or as
cheaply. Itussia will build its o'n ships ,
Os far as they can , and will purchase , be-
51(108 , vessels ready made from other na-
tloims , It has five large var vessels now
building in St. Petersburg. There will be ,
though , a chance for American manufac-
turera to supply certain articles , "
About the contracts concluded and prepared -
pared by himself as the representative of
limo Union iron works Mr. Scott refused to
speak.
"As for American ships , " he itclfied , "I
can say that in their performance they now
stan(1 ( at. time very front and the capacity of
the United States for building ships ranks
second. Time war ship of the near future ,
so far as evolutions go , will be a battleship
of crtmiser speed , fully protected , with h'.avy
guns and large coal capacity , and also
heavily arniozed. All these featurea corn-
1'aed are posiblo in a war ship and they
will be combIned better than heretofore. "
Mr. Scott will speed only a few days more
in Germany and then go for a brief bust-
ness engagement to England , whence he
will sail for New York.
