Officers Versus Men.
The following appeared in *he Sol
diers Column of the Washington, D. C
"Post" of Wednesday of last week, the
24th inst.
Editor Post: Last Friday's Washing
ton papers stated that as soon as it be
came known that certain volunteer reg
iments had been selected to lie mustered
out, protests began to be sent to the war
department strongly opposing the same
and objecting to discharge before seeing
some actual service. These protests, it
was said, came "from officers, politi
cians, and others, but none was report
ed from the rank and file of the regi
ments.
I do not know how the men of other
commands may feel, but will domv be-*t
to set forth the position of the Fifteenth
Pennsylvania Volunteers and the opin
ions of the great majority of the regi
ments concerning the matter of being
mustered out. The Fifteent 1 " left their
homes "for war' April 27 and lay in
camp at Mount Gretna, Pa., until the
11th of June. During this period ex
peditions were l>eing formed and regi
ments assigned to them. Onr com
mander had a chance to take his regi
ment to Manila, but let it slip through
his fingers.
Jnne 12 we came to Fort W ashmgton
and have been garrisoned here ever
since. We felt on arrival that here we
would stay till the end of the war and
neyer see any actual campaigning. The
regiment's captains, like the great ma
jority of their men. felt dissatisfied with
our assignment and proposed a concert
ed movement to secure a change to
greater activity, but the higher officers
seemed very well content with their
snap job and not only refused to take
part in the movement, but the colonel
rolled his eyes in astonishment, feigned
or real, and came down on the project
flat-footed.
Hostilities have now ceased and the
war is practically over unless difficulties
arise with the Cubans themselves. To
preyent or settle such troubles troops
will haye to be stationed in Cuba and
other new acquisitions. Most of the offi
cers have found it very nice and fine to
do nothing all day long and draw salar
ies ranging from $125 to SSKX) permonth.
while the men in the ranks, who gener
ally made as good wages, and in some
cases a great deal more, at home, djaw
their "little $15.60 per." So it is only
human that the officers wish to make
their soft snaps continue as long as pos
sible. and, sad to say, it seems that they
are willing to do so at the expense of
their men, sacrificing the rights and nn
donbtly blasting the future of many.
The newspapers stated not long ago
that two officers of *he Fifteenth had
been at the war department in Wash
ington trying to hav& their regiment as
signed to occupy some post in the Phili
ppines or other islands, and at the pres
ent writing another is away from camp,
presumably trying to further this de
sign.
Of course every one. officer or private,
knows best why he does or does not
wish to continue army life. We. for
our part, know that four-fifths of the
Fifteenth Regiment are sick and tried
of millitary life as viewed from the
standpoint of garrison duty and object
most strongly to spending the next twen
ty months in existence so lacking in pur
pose and usefulness. We see no honor
in being sent to occupy Cuba after Spain
has surrendered it. It's true we enlist
ed for "two years unless sooner dis
charged." If the war lasted two or
twenty years we expected to stay with
it. but if the war is over we wish to be
returned to our homes to resume the
peaceful pursuits we left in the hope of
serving our country. If Uncle Sam
has no more use for us we feel that he
should discharge us. The garrison duty
belongs to the regulars, who make sol
diering a business. The great majority
of us feel this way, and yet "officers,
politicians, and others' go to the war
department and state there and to the
world that we object to being mustered
out, but wish to continue in this tent ed
exile. In asserting this they simply try
to make Secretary Alger and the public
believe a lie.
Now let it be understood that an over
whelming majority of the Fifteenth
Pennsylvania Volunteers want no ad
ditional twenty months of garrison duty
and if we are not needed to suppress
guerrilla bands of Cubans in actual war
fare we consider onr government under
obligation to muster us out of the ser
yice No matter what any salary daz
zied officer or designing politician may
say, this is the truth. E H. NEGLEY,
Company E. Fifteenth Pa. Vol.
Fort Washington, Md.
This letter caused a sensation in the
camp, and Col. Kreps telephoned from
Washington to place Negley under
arrest, and he was threatened with
court martial and imprisonment.
The letter was answered in the
same paper next day, by one signed by
a Sergeant named Ludwig, but snppos
ed to have been written by Major Craw
ford, in which a feeble denial of Neg
ley's charges was made, and that was
followed by one of Private Lewis of
the Grove City company in which he
said.
"I noticed by this morning's issue of
your paper that Sergt. Ludwig. of
Company C. Fifteenth regiment United
States Volunteers, lias taken exception
to the statement of E. H. Negley, Com
pany E, Fifteenth regiment, in which
he says that Negley is only speaking tor
himself and a few of the rank and file.
The following figures will prove that
Sergt. Lndwig's statement is incorrect.
His own company and 75 men out of 106
signed a petition Asking the Governor
of Pennsylvania to use his influence to
have them mustered out. The other
companies signed as follows: Com
pany K, 90; Company E, !)(); Com
pany F, 90; Company G, 89. Companies
A, B and D were intimidated by officers
and threatened with a court martial.
We cannot see that N egley made any
assault on the integrity of our officers.
While we have the greatest respect for
our officers, we do not wish to be re
tained for garrison duty and sacrifice
our personal interests at home."
And Lewis was promptly arrested by
order of Krex>s and placed in the guard
house.

Your correspondent was responsible
for a communication in the Washing

CITIZKN and which at any rate many of
your readers have seen. As the Pitts
burg Times correspondent stated, that
letter diil create a furore in the camp,
but only certain officers were mad
about it. Nine-tenths of the regiment's
rank and tile agree with the writer and
upheld the letter. Your scribe was se
vererely reprimanded and later arrested
by the colonel's order from Washing
ton
On the 25th, a contradictory letter
appeared in the Post from a C man,
which said the 15th was not composed
of poltroons who shirked duty when it
became irksome. We n*iw> with him.

LelHswasat once put under arrest
also.
Thnrsdaj evening, to gam an expres
sion of theopiuions of the men. the offi
cers presented a paper to each company
and we were asked to put down out
1 names in one of three columns on that
paper. The first column was in effect
"we are ready and willing to do gar
rison or any other duty during the re
mainder of our enlistments : the second
read "we want onr discharge '. the third
was non committal. We were told that
the paper might be kept as a record
against signers of *he second column
Friday morning Co. E. unanimously
agreed not to have anything to do with
the paper, deeming it unfairly stated.
Co. A. did likewise. In G out of seven
ty signatures more than sixty were in
the second column and in C twenty-two
signed the first column and fortyeight
the second. , ,
These companies, on hearing how A
and E had treated the papers, resolved
to do likewise. We do not know what
the result was at Fort Sheridan.
Previous to this over sixty members
of Co. E signed a statement that they
wished to be mustered out, while only
eight indicated that they wished to do
garrison duty. This paper is still in
the company.
We are not homesick, or cowards,
poltroons or shirkers of duty, but we
have laid in our little tents as a garrison
four months while the war was l>eing
fought and the victory won. During
all this time we heard of bnt one feeble
effort to have the 1 "ith sent to the front
where there was a possibility of being
shot at. Now that all danger is past
some people are seized with a desperate
panic to get to the front. Why. oh
whv this wonderful change?
Why are the rank and file supposed
to be willing to enjoy (?) twenty months
more of garrison duty, when weemphat
ically are not. Why does someone
think that after a few weeks occupation
of a foreign post that we will become
indifferent, resigned to onr fate? Are
American Volunteers usually an in
different grade of people? Does the
lowly station of a private or noncoini>h
make a slave of a man? God forbid
that we ever become indifferent to such
a state of affairs. Why wish to pro
long your services in a war that, though
marked by great deeds and great vie
tories, has also been replete in political
intrigue and favoritism. In which ten
times more ink than blood has been
spilled. We say this with a comrades
reverence for the noble men who have
given up their lives through wounds or
sickness.
Let those who like garrison soldiering
do it as regulars: send the volunteers to
their homes and work where they are
of some real use to their country. No
one would have heard anything of this
widespread howl from the volunteers,
had others not tried to tell our wishes,
and did so incorrectly.
Tuesday last several Co.. E boys took
an excursion to Colonial Beech, fifty
six miles down the Potomac on the
"Jane Mosley". The}* enjoyed salt
water swims and a general day of pleas
ure, another excursion to the same place
is billed for Sept. 7.
Sergt. O'Dounel and privates Brown
and Oreen are back from their visits
home, all looking the better for their
few days off.
Friday we received new clothes, near
ly every one now has much more than he
could carry during a day's march.
Saturday we signed the muster roll
for our August pay and Wednesday,
the a Ist monthly inspection and muster
in will be held. Pay day some time
next week.
Saturday morning we were ordered
to "fall in" in front of our tents, strip
ped to our waists, barefooted and pants
rolled up above our knees. Then our
officers inspected us and found that we
kept our bodies clean.
Chaplin Hays and Mr. Howe address
ed us Sunday morning.
Miss Lottie Otto, formerly of Butler
and now of Manorville Pa., visited her
brother Hyle of C during the day.
One morning last week Sergt. Vr.n
derlin and Moore and Corp. Martin fail
ed to rise in time for roll at reveille. A
little later the rest laughed and cheered
as the three noncoms. marched past the
dining tent with a keg of lime and
shovels to disinfect the sinks
All last week's sick people have re
covered. There are two "E's" men
with a little fever in the hospital now.
If looks indicate anything, everyone is
gaining flesh since melons became
plenty. The flies which pestered us at
first have been greatly reduced in num
bers by horuets, but now mosquitoes
come charging into our tents company
front at night, making life miserable
and sleep almost impossible.
This morning John Huselton, Ralph
Minks, George and Oscar Shaffer
returned from their visits home.

WAR RECORD
On Saturday President McKinley and
party made a tour of Camp Meade :it
Middletown and expressed himself as
l>eing greatly pleased with it.
There was quite a scene in the camp
of the Third Missouri that morning
when the men received news of their
master out. They cheered and yelled
and danced like wild men ;:nd in a trice
the regimental band was trotted out
find heightened the excitement by audi
lively strains as "When Johnny Comes
Marching Home." Col. Gross heard
tht cheers and strains of the band in
his tent and was greatly displeased.
He ordered assembly and had the call
to quarters sounded, l>nt the men paid
no attention to it. Exasperated further
by this spirit of disobedience. Col.
Gross mounted his charger and gallop
ed up to the brtid. Waving his sword,
he veiled: "Who ordered you men
out? Go back to your quarters'
The men answered with hoots yells
and hisses. Angered almost beyond
endurance the colonel summoned the
ofiicers of the companies to which the
'men belonged and gave them a raking
for allowing them to make such de
monstrations. Then, with the exclam
ation: "You are a disgrace to the regi
ment and will have to pay tor this'
Col. Gross galloped off.
Hustings' Hospital Train.
During the later part of last week
Gov. Hastings went to Philadelphia
where he raised $5,000 and with it
chartered and equipped a hospital train
of 1H cars. lie went with it to Chicka
maligna and there selected 21-i-sick sol
diers from the hospitals and brought
them home and distributed them
among the hospitals of their home
towns or to their homes.
The tiain was well supplied with
nurses and necessaries, it accomplished
its mission without accident <ir delay,
and thns reflected great credit upon
Gov. Hastings.

We have whipped the Spaniards on
! land and sea without half trying, and a
| war of not exceeding one hundred days
of actual biittle closed with the ino.it
brilliant naval victories in the
I world's history, and with decisive
triumph* for our armies in Cuba. Porto
Rico and the Philippines.
There is po longer a conflict lietween
' the armies of the I niled States and
j Sprin. but there is an irrepressible - war
npon us for the exhaustive exposure
and relentless punishment of the in
competents and speculators who de
prive our brave men in the field of
I proper rations, medical stores and at
tendance. and this war must be waged
as lons as an incompetent or a thief i -
unwhipped of justice,
j Oar killed and wounded in action did
not numbers one per cent of the entire
army, and lmt little over ten per cent
of the troops engaged in the bloodiest
fight of modern times for the capture
Santiago: but many, many thousand
of onr brave soldiers, regulars and
volunteers, have been literally murder
ed by the incompetent or corrupt man
agement of the War Department.
Generous allowance must be made
for the haste with which the army had
to be forced into Cuba. But there was
no excuse whatever for want of medi
cal stores, medical attention and pro
er food for sick and well. Mere than
one-half of all the deaths and shattered
constitutions which tell the fearful
story of the Santiago campaign conld
have been averted with every ordinary
business methods and energy by the
heads of departments: and even when
the truth was published from day to
day. and when Major General Miles
gave the unvarnished facts to the Gov
ernment. no practical methods were
adopted to furnish relief to our suffer
erir.g soldiers.
Equal incompetency and _ negle-t
were exhibited in the location an t
management of the leading camps,
where our soldiers were thrown togeth
i er by tens of thousands only to con
tract fearful disease and submit to the
needless sacrifice of life. Both the
Chickamauga Camp and Camp Alger,
in Virginia, proved to be simply plague
spots with thousands of men huddled
into them. In both the States the amp
i lest supply of pnre water, with perfect
ly healthy location, conld have l»een
fonnd. but neither had anything
i approaching sufficient water supply.
[ and what they had was impure and
bred disease with fearful rapidity.
There can be no excuse given for
■ these blunders, and those who are re
sponsible for the incompetency or neg
ligence that has cost the lives of thou
sands of soldiers who never met the
enemy, and given many thousands of
others hopelessly shattered constitu
tions, must answer to an indignant
country for these fearful wrongs
The President is now relieved of the
exacting duties of war. and he is ir
responsible head of the government, to
whom the nation looks for the exposure
and punishment of the men who have
so recklessly sacrificed the lives a.id
health of scores of thousands of our
soldiers. Let the President begin the
inquiry and prosecute it to the end. It
mnst be made honestly, fearfully and
thoroughly. No matter upon whom
the blame shall fall, the punishment
must belit the crime —Philadelphia
Times.
PRIVATE NEGLEY, of the Fifteenth
Pennsylvania, lias been arrested for
trial by court-martial for publishing
the statement that three-fourths of that
regiment desire to be mustered out of
service and premitted to go home. If
the statement was one of fact it is diffi
cult to see that Mr. Negley was guilty
of any crime. He did. on a small scale,
what Colonel Roosevelt did at Santiago
—acquainted the public with facts his
superior officers did not want known.
Technically, this might be construed as
insubordination; practically, it is a
public service. The court-martial sit
ting in his case, if wisely constituted,
will promptly release him. Pittslmrg

The Homo of Hood's Sarsaparilia -
A Wonderful Cure.
"A swelling as big ns a large marble
came under my tongue. Physicians said it
was a semi-transparent tumor and must bs
operated upon. I felt I could not stand it,
and as spring came began to lake my
favorite spring tonic, Itootl'B Sarsaparilia.
The bunch gradually decreased and finally
disappeared. I have had no sign of its re
turn. lam glad to praise Hood's Sarsapa
