The War Invest- ! catlni ; commission met hero today. All tlin members wcro prcsciU except Colonel Dcnb > and Major Miles. Ocncral Charli'd Qrton- leaf , chief surgeon of the troops In the field on General Milts' staff , said that In some respects Camp Alger was n good camp for n amall body of men , but there were many ( Iran backs. The water supply was poor and the region wab kno\vn \ tq bo highly malari ous. There nas a deficiency of privates In the hospital corps and of medical officers , nnd , nt llrnciof , medical supplies. The best Interests of the elcki Dr. Qrccnlcaf said , wcro not seriously Imperiled , but the efforts of the physlclariH were generally cmbar- rassed. Camp Montauk Dr. Grecnlcaf considered an Ideal camp tor Its purpose. Lack of train i-orvlce he considered a petty discomfort. No complaint : * of any moment were cubI I milled to him , and the small grumblings ho heard Investigated and found without justlflcat on. Questioned as to the discomforts endured by their furloughed men , who , sick and weak , were compelled to .loiter about. Jhu railway station 'awaiting fares and furloughsfi he said nil that trouble might have been avoided by the establishment of a quarter- nias'cr's olTlpo at the hoipltal. , Dr. Connor asked why the large force of women nursca , who had 'offered their ser vIces - Ices , wern not accepted arfd Dr * . 'G'rr ojcaf Bald there was no way to care" for them al ike camp. , ; - ' j Illumed frotn Hath Side * . Dr. Green leaf , Ullreplying to questions , told of the methods of granting furloughs from ( ho hospitals at Camp Montauk and of the Influence' brought to bear upon the surgeons to grant these furloughs. He said if a man to whom leave was granted died at his home the surgeons wore beamed for letting him leave the hospitals ; and wbero leave was refused If the man died there , his friends declared that home nursing would have cured him. General Beaver asked Dr. Grecnlcaf If sick men were taken to the battle line , and when the. doctor said no , General Dcaver asked why BO much stress was laid on tha fact that , no m * dlcal supplies were taken to the ft ant unless It. was .usual to send medicine to the men , and not men to the medicine. Dr. Cireenlcaf said that supplies should ftiye been at the battle line for tha men taken sick there. . To question * from Captain Howrll. ex- Governor Woodbury and General Wilson , Dr. Greenloaf said that he would not have selected Camp Alger as a camping pace | for Roldlors , and that In his opinion Camp Mlama , -Florida , was fitted only for a quarantine hospital and should not have boon Used as a camp for 10,000 mon await ing' transportation to Cuba. Ex-Governor Woodbury Is It proper to criticise the department for not having em ployed' female nurses sooner than It did ? 'Drm Grcenlcaf I think not. General Stcrnberg. and I agree with htm , did not believe thatthe firing line was " .he place for a "woman. " " In tTio hospitals women nuipcs rendered 'excellent service , but at tje ) Jtr/int. there was , no place for them. General Dodge 'asked of conditions ot the trajispqria.leavlng Tampa for Cuba , atid Dr. qrjiM M , B8idrttJiey'were dreadfully overcrowded - crowded- lie , ' could cot say that the o\n- croWdlns was , not a military necessity , but It jvtw certain 'it was wrong' from a sanitary standpoint. s" , , . concluded the testimony ol Dr. . l , .jbavld , j.jOogs , a private of the Sovcnty- r t regiment , ' who was 'cook 'for1 ' his corril pany at Camp Dlack , told of the supplies' Issued 'jo their troops. Ho said they wore good and ample. .He went to Slboney from Tntnp'a , on the Vlgllanca * transport No. ' 23 , nnd' found the conditions aboard' pleasant. The ship was comfortable , he said , but the ventilation might have been better. Throw Away Their nation * . In reply to questions by General Beaver Grsi told ot the disembarkation at Slboney and thp march to camp. Ho said some of * the marching men threw away their haver sacks with , their rations , and then shared other men's supplies until the next day'd rations were issued. GOBS could not tell of thp experience of the regiment at the front because , ho hod been left in the rear to help c re ( or 'seme sick men. J . ' , \ Ho had' a alight attack of yellow fever. I'D Santiago , apd later on the Si. Lou la , return ing to the United States , was taken sick again. He spoke h'ghly ' of the attention paid to' him by the surgeons at the Camp M out auk hoipltal. The nurse , Miss Graves , told Mm bis trouble was Htarvatlon , but ttiere'was plenty of food on the St. Louis tor well men. As a general summing up of his moat un pleasant experience , Goss said : "It was all pretty rough. Nothing went right. It was some one's Incompetency , but I did not know whoso. When we left Camp Dlack at 4 o'clock wo wore kept moving aboflt and were compelled to spend all night In the car shed * at Long Island City , because - cause some one had blundered , anil so it went on all the time. " He did not grumble at the San Juan hill experience because It was necessary , the other discomforts , ho flald , wcro not nee cssary. Questioned by Captain Howell , Goes said ho slept In the open air In Cuba for twelve days , because , ho bad no tent. There were twenty hospital tents. Three ofllccrs of his company took ono of these tents for their own accommodation. Henry Hau'ck , an assistant foreman In the flre department , who -served throughout the campaign as a private In Company L of the America's Greatest Medicine is 'Hood's Sarsaparilla , Which absolutely Cures every form of Impure blood , from The pjmple on your Face to the great ' Scrofula sore which Drains your system. Thousands of people Testify'that Hood's Sarsaparilla cures Scrofula , Salt Rheum , ! Dyspepsia , Malaria , Catarrh , Rheumatism , And That Tired Feeling. Remember this And get Hood's And only Hood'i. Seventy-first New York regiment , was the next witness. Ho Mid that there wan never a lack of good food until "the- regiment reached Cuba , and then the fault was due to the. lack of cooking facilities , and the necessity for each man to cook his own ra tions. An army cook book was Issued to the regiment at Tampa heights , but no in structions were given to the men. ! During the march to San Juan , the men lost ( heir ration : , and there was some ' scarcity for three da > 3. The officers told them to Icavo their haversacks with their rations by the roadside , and left a man to guard them , but the man was shot and the rations were st ten. Jlauck said that he had no complaint at nil to make of the treatment ho received while In the service. IJMIC Sick on Hare tjrnuml. ' William Hamilton Henry , whoso son served as a private In Company D of the Seventy-first regiment during the campaign , ivau the first witness nt the afternoon sos- Eton , ' .Mr. Henry told of a visit to Camp I I Wlkoff In search of his son , who was sick. Ho found him lying on the bite ground In a . tent. The officers' tenta wcro all floored. Mr. Henry told of the dllHculty In obtain | ing n furlough for his son anil how bo Inally succeeded by a personal appeal to icneral Wheeler. IMchard W. Henry , the son , was called. to was taken sick after 'tho ' surrender ot Santiago. Speaking of the treatment ho re- elved from the army surgeons In Cuba Icnry said they did the best that they could nd treated every one alike. "In fact , " ho said , "they made no dlstinc- lon In the manner of treatment or In medt- me. It was too pills for a fever and three pills for a broken arm. " Henry returned from Cuba In the trans- ort Grand Duchess. Immediately on land- ng at Montauk Point , on August 18 , he went to the detention hospital. With some f his comrades be was assigned to some icw'tents In the hospital. When asked what he received to eat , ho said : "I suppose they forgot us. vWo did not get anything until thoncxt day , when an orderly gavcfus.somo.Bdup. A surgeon .vlalted'us at rfi Ho made a cursory exainltlatlon of us and "aid ho would send us medicine tmirie- llately. The medicine did not reach us until ate that night. " Henry was able to oat the provisions erved on the Grand Duchcss. but he' could not drink the coffee. His messmates bought canned peaches and other fruit from the crew. .After four days In the detention hospital 10 returned , to camp to get his furlough. lo was unable to get a furlough that day and went to his company's tent for the light. It was the following day when his 'ather found him. In responseto a question from Dr. Con ner Henry said ho could not tell If the regi mental surpenn knew ho was sick In quar- ers. It was the first sergeant's duty to re port his elckness to the surgeon , but he ctould not say if such a report had been made. Snrceori * Are Swamped. Dr. Frank Donaldson , who Joined Colonel toosovelt'B regiment in Cuba July 8 and who was stricken with yellow fever on July 24 , followed Mr. Henry on the witness stand. Asked by Dr. Conner as to the condition of the hospitals , he replied : "I do not wish to criticise Dr. LcGarde , whom. I greatly admire , but they were en- Irely swamped. There was an Insufficient supply of medical stores , nurses and 'stew ards. The majority of stewards were ot a most undesirable character and should never have been selected for such service. " Regarding medical supplies , Dr. Donald son said there were supplies , but they could not' be reached. Speaking of his o'wn eglmcnt , he said he got supplies because he went out and hustled for-them. "They were not served out to yoY ? " asked Dr. Conner. - - ' < . ' , 'Not1)y a large majorit/ , " was the re ply. "We got what we hustled for and nothing else. " 'Did the men receive good care and at tention in the hospitals ? " "They suffered from lack of care because of the Inefficiency of the nurses. The doc tors were efficient , and devoted , " , Dr. .Conner. , asked , If It was possible to get a beeter. qjasa of nufifes' , and when Dr. , Donaldson sold1no , ' hVasked why'the department should bo blamed for what could not be avoided ? "There was no excuse , " said Dr. Donald son , "for sending them there , and for not sending supplies. " "Do you know they sent no supplies ? " "If they sent them they must have van ished Into Cuba llbrc ; they did not reach us. " Dr. Donaldson criticised Dr. Lesser , the head of the Red Cross hospital In Cuba , severely , and declared that although Dr. Lesser posed as an expert on yellow fever , ho did not know what1 yellow fever was un til ho was etrlcken with It. Good lloipital at Maiitank. Speaking of the general hospital at Mon- tauk Dr. Donaldson said he considered It-an excellent hotpltal , well established and.after the first half dozen days , thoroughly well conducted. The doctors , with one exception , were fully competent. He did not glvo the name of the exception. The nursing was satisfactory. Dr. Donaldson spoke generally of the hcspital , the greater part f his ex perience being with the regimental hospital. General Wilson and Governor Beaver asl ed Dr. Donaldson seveial questions based upon newspaper clippings detailing "outrages ol the soldiers. " Dr. Donaldson declared that alt were un true , and reiterated his statements that there was no fault anywhere , and that several statements made were "absolute lies. " Relative to the statement that Captain C. Q , Wurden of the Seventh regiment died ol starvation the witness said : "I myself at tended Captain Wurden and he got all the attention possible. I made broth myself and other delicacies-were found for him. " "How about the statement that William Tiffany died of starvation ? " "I don't know anything about that. I never saw Tiffany after I wax taken'tick In Cuba. " Dr. Donaldson , at the request of Colonel Sexton , submitted as a part of hU testi mony an article from his pen published In the London Lancet and detailing his ex periences In Santiago. James S. Sewers of Company K , Seventy- first regiment , served from the time the regiment went to Camp Black until mus tered out last week. He complained that the coffeowos , poor , and that the volunteers were'not treated as well bs the regulars. Asked by General Beaver to explain what ho meant , he said the volunteer officers took care of themselves , while the regular offi cers took care of their men. "When we ar rived at Montauk Point , " ho said , "there was nothing for us to eat until the next day. When the Tenth regulars arrived there was a wagonload of bread and meat waiting for them. Our officers said that they had nothing to do with the rations. " Mrs. Mary Manson. of West Fifty-fifth street was the last witness of the day. She had been at Camp Wikoff in charge of a division of the Women's War Relief asso ciation. She said the men at Camp Wikoff had Buffered greatly and had been ill- treated. When General Dodge told her that the men had testified they were not badly treated and had not been neglected at Camp Wlkoff Mrs. Manson declared that If these / so testified they had Baid what was not true. Shortly before 5 o'clock the hearing was adjourned until tomorrow at 10 a. m. fitoaklinliler Allege * Fraud , WICHITA , Kan. , Nov. 17.
