A Soldier Testi- fied That Though Suffering With St. Vitus Dance, the Surgeon Told #::n He Was Shamming. { i Before the war investigating commis- sion, Saturday, Louise L. Krauss, private of Company G, Ninth New York volunteers, complained that over-exertion at drili brought on a nervous affection on June 17. ' He appealed to the regimental surgeon, i Dr. Hubbard, and the doctor said he was | shamming.

All the medicine they had was quinine, salts and castor oil. They served it out in turn.’’ J. Hussey, a private of the Sixty-ninth Regiment, testified that the best of all the food supplied by the Government was ap- propriated for the use of the officers. DR. LESSER ON CARE OF SICK. Dr. Monac Lasser, who was in Cuba in medical charge for the Red Cross society, said none of the fever cases was without shelter. Those of the sick who slept in the | open air were not suffering from fever, and the night air was good for them. ‘‘At Siboney there was a scarcity of food for the sick.” “Was the supply of food and medicine sufficient for those aboard the Concha?’ asked Dr. Conner. “I cannot answer that question. The Red Cross usages do not permit me to criti- cise the government.”’ “If a Red Cross nurse should seean of- ficer take the life of one of his men, would she be permitted to accuse the officer of murder ?’’ asked General Beaver. ‘No, sir.” ‘Could she tell what she saw 2” ‘Yes; she might tell what she saw.’ Further questioned by Dr. Conner, Dr. Lesser said that, although no deaths re- sulted on the Concha from lack of drugs, there was no doubt that had there been more drugs there would have been less suf- fering. DISCHARGED MEN UNFIT TO TRAVEL. Dr. Albert E. Gallant, chairman of the medical committee of the War Relief asso- ciation, testified that 2300 men came to the headquarters of the association. Out of this number over 500 were in unfit condi- tion to travel. Major Summerhays explained that the | carrying capacity of each transport had ! been estimated by air space and that the overcrowding that had been complained of was due to the fact that the men assigned i to the lower decks crowded the upper decks for fresh air. James P. Holmes, who served in the Seventy-first New York Regiment, was ex- amined. He was taken sick in Santiago and is still in poor health. He was allow- ed to lie on a couch while giving his testi- mony. He complained that no attention was paid to the sick on the transport Grand Duchess. For several aveeks there was no regular food, and in his own company there was no regularly organized mess from the | time the regiment reached Tampa until it was mustered out. The Pension Department. ‘The report of the commissioner of pen- sions shows that on the 30th of June, 1898, there were on the pension roll 993,714 names, an increase of 17,700 over the number on the rolls on the 30th day of June, 1897. Of these there are 12 widows and daughters of Revolutionary soldiers; 3 survivors of the war of 1812; 2,407 widows of soldiers of that war, 7,086 survivors and widows of Indian wars; 18,155 survivors and widows of the war with Mexico; 655 army nurses and 426,758 survivors, widows, children and depend- ent parents and sisters and brothers of de- ceased soldiers and sailors, mostly of the war of the rebellion.” - THE PENSION ROLL STILL GROWING. “The number added to the rolls during the year (including 7,714 held in the pen- sion bureau and not entered on the agency rolls until after July 1st, 1897, for want of appropriation sufficient to make payment thereon ); the number dropped from various causes (by death, re-marriage, minors by legal limitation, failure to claim within three years, and so forth) was 46,651, and the number of claims of various classes dis- allowed was 85,629. During the year 98,574 pension” certificates were issued, of which 62,648 were for new or original pen- sions, “The amount disbursed for army and navy pensions during the year was $144,- ‘‘He said he had no | medicine for me and gave me a preserip- | I had no money v : Ay : * | classes pending, of which 200,000 are origi- | Soon as possible. fats Bellefonte, Pa., Dec. 2,1898. 651,879 80, leaving a balance of $3,431,- 012 99 unexpended on the 30th of June, 1898, which was covered into the treasury.

Less | than 100 claims had been filed up to the | close of the fiscal year and none had heen adjudicated. “The commissioner reiterates the recom- mendation contained in his last annual ve- | port, that legislation be enacted so as to prohibit the granting of a pension to a widow who marries a soldier after the pas- sage of the act of Congress authorizing the granting of pension.’’ rrr ve ———— fSiample of Rough Riding. The Alger whitewashing commission got small comfort from Colonel Roosevelt’s day in court. He testified to what he saw and experienced, and made a graphic picture of the preventable outrages on our soldiers under the blight of Algerism. According to the summary of the New York ‘‘Journal’’ he declared that— The railway system at Tampa was in a state of absolute congestion. There was much unnecessary delay in securing transports. The men had poor accommodations and the rations were not fit to eat. There was great lack of assistance for disembarking at Baiquiri, the troops heing compelled to lie off the coast of Cuba for five days. The uniforms of the soldiers were cheap, and even inferior to the clothing worn hy the Spaniards. The wounded, after having a leg or an arm amputated, were left lying in the mud for thirty-six hours, without medical at- tention or a drink of water. Where twenty-five wagons were neces- sary to haul supplies, only one wagon was provided. The surgeons fell asleep over their work, being few in number and worn out from unceasing labor. There were not enough nurses; the sup- ply of medicines was wholly insufficient, no tents, no blankets, no delicacies for the wounded. Confusion, dismay, suffering everywhere. An utter lack of foresight in the commis- sary and medical departments. For further particulars Colonel Roose- velt referred the commission to his sup pressed report on the Santiago campaign in the war department under Alger’s lock and key. The commission of course sought to break the force of this testimony, and one of them asked: I judge that the shortcomings you have cited and the unnecessary privations you have told us about were due to the inex- perience of officers and men rather than to the wanton neglect or carelessness of an y- body ? As Colonel Roosevelt had explained why he could not permit himself to draw con- clusions, this question was obviously put in the hope of getting a general non-com- mittal answer useful for whitewashing pur- poses. But Colonel Roosevelt replied: I would not charge anybody with wan- ton neglect. I think they (the *‘short- comings and privations’ of Sexton) were mainly due to the system which procured the inexperienced officers. What system ? But the commission had got all and a little more than it wanted, and it refused to follow up the lead sug- gested by the Rough Rider. Algerism was ‘‘the system which procured the inex- perienced officers’ with social and political pulls. —Mamma—*‘Well, Tommy, you know no one will love you if you are so naughty.’’ Tommy—*‘Satan will.

Even witha foot cut off by a jagged piece of shell a horse will not drop. It is only when shot through the head or heart that he comes down. He may be fatally wounded, but hobbles out of the fight to right or left, and stands with drooping head until loss of blood brings him down. The horse that loses his rider and is unwound- ed himself will continue to run with his seb of fours until some movement throws him out. Then he goes galloping here and there, neighing with fear and alarm, but he will not leave the field. In his racing about he may get among the dead and wounded, but he will dodge them if possi- | ble, and in any case, leap over them.

A Sailor’s Bed. Jack Tar's Hammock is a Rather Treacherous Sleep- ing Place. Jack’s bed is a hammock, and it isa folding, portable bed of the most improved kind. People who swing hammock’s on verandas in the summer know nothing | whatever about Jack’s style of bed. His is made of an oblong piece of stout canvas fitted with eye-holes in which are made fast small ropes, called ‘‘clews.’’ and these are lashed at their outer ends to a ring. When Jacky’s folding bed is open for use it hangs | by these rings from hammock hooks fitted : to the beams under the decks. Jacky has a mattress and a blanket in his bed, and he has to keep them there. When he “turns out,” as getting up is called, he rolls his mattress up on its long- cst axis, and lashes it with a rope provided for that purpose. the middle. der the lashing. utes to turn out and lash his hammock. Then he goes up on the spar deck and bands the hammock to one of the stowers, who drops it into the “nettings’ which are simply troughs in the ships rail. A tarpaul- in is hauled is hauled over the hammocks and laced down to keep the rain out, and there they stay ill they are served out again at night. In the meantime, if Jacky desires to sleep, and in war times he does very often need a nap, he must perforce seek the gentle caresses of a steel battle-hatch | or an oily alleyway, where cooks and ma- rines do break in and coal passers corrupt. But a paternal government provides the hammock for Jacky, and also allows him the use of the deck.—Seribner’s Magazine. England Warns France to Abandon the Upper Nile. One of the first acts of Lord Salisbury on | returning from his summer vacation was to authorize the publication of the corre- spondence between the British and French Governments concerning the ownership of the territory bordering the Upper Nile. In this appears a declaration by the English premier that all the territories of the Khali- fa now belong to Great Britain and Egypt, by conquest. In other words, the French force under Major Marchand. that took possession of Iashoda, must quit the eoun- try. The correspondence further shows that, in General Kitchener's opinion, nothing would have saved the French expedition from annihilation if he had been a fortnight later in crushing the Khalifa. Nothing remains to be done except for France to discover a reason for withdrawing her forces that will not excite further trouble at home. stn f you want fine work done of every description the WATCHMAN, office is the place to come.

With the retirement of Judge Gordon he has another vacancy to fill and a chance to make a new record. In Philadelphia alone he has appointed four Common Pleas Judges—Judge Audenried, Judge Beitler, Judge McMichael and Judge Wilthank. He appointed Judge W. W. Porter and Judge William D. Porter to the Superior court bench, and at present Judge Wil- liams, of the Supreme court, and Judge Reeder, of the Superior court, are both eritically ill.
