LIFE ON THE TROOP SHIPS
General Howard's Observations of the Transy
port Service in the War ,
INCIDENTS OF THE VOYAGE TO SANTIAGO
A Conflict of Order * anil What Came
of II llovr the IMrot AVno Or-
anil the DlMpo-
nltloii of Tiooin ,
Major General O. O. Howard ( retired ) ,
who accompanied the troops to Santiago ,
writes to the Independent the following
account of the organization of the transport
licet , together with some Incidents of the
trip :
In our civil strife there were two things
of Immense vnluo that the war developed ;
ono was railroad eervlco and the other the
telegraph system. In my opinion , railway
men on tbo whole contributed more to an
effective campaign tlran subordinate gen
erals , who used the railroads to obtain
tholr successes , but too often forgot the
magnificent ability which systematized their
lines of supply and brought them men and
material. Telegraph operators also were
closely allied with every general nnd head of
department , and rendered posslblo opera
tions and reports of them that , without
these faithful confidential servants of the
government , would lave been Impossible.
In this Spanish war of considerable pro
portions there Is nn adjunct to the army
which corresponds to the railroad system of
the great civil war. It Is the body of ships ,
manned by our best seamen of the sterling
American typo , always ready to do and to
dare In any contingency of heroic entor-
prlso. These ships , attached to the army ,
of excellent build como to us In groups
and have each a number clearly painted In
large figures upon their sides. Each group
is like a brigade ; for example , the Ward
line furnishes a group of nine steamships ;
the Mallory line furnishes a group of five ;
the Clyde line gives another group1 of two
steamers ; the Morgan line of four ;
the Hogan line of four ; the Sa
vannah Hue , two ; the Merchant
and Miners , two ; and many other Individual
vessels of good accommodation and speed.
I have been thrown In with several ves
sels making shorter or longer voyages. The
first things that a soldier like myself notices
are the order , disciplinennd system that
prevail on board ; the grand qualities of the
officers In command , uniformly dignified ,
temperate , self-respecting and fearless.
Their associate olllcers present the same
or similar qualities. The engineers know
their business , are always at their posts , and
almost make duty their Idol ; at least they
perform It at every sacrifice of time , case
and comfort.
WorkliiK * of n. Troop SIilp.
Four days spent upon tits Yucatan In a
voyage frcni Santiago de Cuba to Key West
afforded mo an insight Into the magnificent
workings of what Is called the Ward line of
New York. Probably this line well exempli
fies the work of the transport licet. Nine of
their ships left Tampa bay the llth of last
June , with troops on board , bound for Guantanamo -
tanamo , or the southeast Cuban coast. On
this vessel of the line , the Yucatan , was
carried Colonel ( now General ) Leonard II.
Wood , Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt , the
First volunteer cavalry , commonly called thoRough
Rough Riders , and a part of the Second
regiment of Infantry. The cavalry was the
greater part of a regiment. Bunks were ar
ranged on the lower deck for the men , and
the rooms , abundant and commodious , were
assigned to the officers. As the weather was
warm In the southern waters the men wcro
permitted to arrange themselves on the up
per deck , if they chose , and to sleep there.
It took some days to embark , make the voy
age and land the men at Daiquiri , where
brisk battling Immediately began. The feedIng -
Ing on board of over 1,000 soldiers , so as to
give satisfaction to all hands , was a feat of
which the stewards and helpers are proud.
The whole work of carrying a regiment be
tween 700 and 800 miles by sea , and every
thing concerning It being done without acci
dent , seems to mo to be an accomplishment
worthy of special note. And aa the Rough
Riders subsequently gained an enviable dis
tinction , the officers of the Yucatan who
contributed to It , without whom their work
could not have been done , surely are worthy
of special mention In orders. General Wood
and Colonel Roosevelt declare that they

gent In his bunlness and proud of his pro

Dolln was the second deck officer , always
noticeable In the ship's management , The
second engineers. If I name them rightly ,
are NeUon Rockefeller nnd John A. Nclltoy ,
men highly esteemed among tholr associates
for their skill and fidelity. I have spoken
of the stewards , The chief Is called Fred
erick K. Bock. Ills work Is as hard as that
of a largo hotel manager , and his success tti
the campaign affords him a conscious Balls-
faction , probably with the feeling nkln to
that of a practical Christian who finds It
more blessed to give than to receive.

The lighter Laura carried supplies of alt

The Gate City , the City of Macon , the Louis
iana , the Cantonln and Mississippi and the
Philadelphia were shlpj of the transport fleet
which Joined after the first troops had been
taken to Cuba. Who can do Justice to tbo
olllcers and crews of all that fleet ? Their
work was , perhaps , not above the usual , but
It should be remembered that the risk of
life la greater on transports than elsewhere ,
because they cannot bo self-defended or pro
tected. A sudden dash of an enemy's naval
fleet would engage their protectors without
doubt In the outset of an engagement , yet a
single shot from a hostile vessel might ecnd
a large transport ship to the bottom. So I
say that while wo are bestowing credit and
pralso upon our successful warriors wo may !
pause to record the part borne by less con- )
apicuous but not less heroic Americans who ) < , ,
have manned our grand transport fleet. )
v
Iiicldciiln of Hie Trip.
Some amusing Incidents of tholr first
troop-voyage are treasured by seamen of the
Yucatan. The western men of the Rough , . ,
Riders called the Incessant flow of sea water *
for the ship washing "tho water In that { J
'ditch' , " and they declared that "If thla
craft goes to the bottom we'll climb them
poles , " referring to the masts. The stewards
and cooks declare , "Wo had to starve our-
eelvcs to feed such ravenous soldiers. " The
City of Washington was towing n supply
schooner and had difficulty In doing It. Gen
eral Shatter , aboard of Sengiiranca , ordered
the captain of the Yucatan , to go up along
side the City of Washington , so as to aid
her In case of accident , which waa feared.
Captain Robertson did so as promptly
as possible. Now the naval com
mander of the convoy was properly
In charge of everything whllo en-
route. Ho himself was on the armored
cruiser Bancroft. lie saw the change thus
made effected without his assent or order.
No report even was made to him. The naval
commander was furious ; ho signaled a halt ;
ho tl'cn flrcd across the transport's bow , and
In an Incredibly short time the Rancroft
was steaming alongside the Yucatan. The
commander , In a husky voice , with strong
censure In It shouted : "What are you doing ,
sir ? "
Robertson replied : "Obeying my orders ,
sir. "
"What orders , sir ? I have given you no
orders ! "
"General Shatter ordered mo to corao
here. "
"Don't you know that no vessel can
change Its place without 'my' orders ! "
"No , sir ; I did not know that. "
Further rough reprimand was on his
tongue as tbo commander asked , harshly :
"Who's on board your transport ? "
Captain Robertson replied : "Tho First
volunteer cavalry ( Rough Riders ) and some
of the Second regular Infantry. Colonels
Wood and Roosevelt are hero. "
. All the men in hearing cheered at that re-
ply.
Ah , Roosevelt ? " the commander said ,
with softened tones ; "would like to speak :
with Colonel Roosevelt. "
The men cheered lustily again aa Roosevelt
velt appeared.
The naval commander now quickly over
looked the Yucatan's broach of discipline
BO popular was Roosevelt In the navy.
Were It In my power to reciprocate tha
klndncEsra that have been extended to mo
by naval olllcers nnd by our American sea
men in the transport service I would gladly
do so ; but I can only express a wlih that
the consciousness of duty well done may
warm their hearts and give them a deserved
contentment of mind ; and also I offer a
prayer that God will give them Ills own
blessings , always helping them la their
work.
